please remember the spin stops here because we are looking out for you. >> tucker: well, good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." after spending several weeks n focusing on crisis in syria and north korea. the president is going on another immigration offensive. this morning the administration announced intention to crack down on gangs like m.s.-13 whose gang has been fueled by illegal immigration. >> they are getting the hell out or they're going too prison. t so many towns and cities are thanking me because we have gotten rid of a burden that you would not believe. i mean, it is a serious problem and we never did anything about it.t. and now we're doingid something about it. >> tucker: just a minute we will talk to the point man on this question attorney general jeff sessions about his plans to stop ms-13. but, first, ms-13 wasn't the

president's only immigration concern. earlier today the presidentpr signed order ordering reforms to the h1b. bring in foreign workers to fill jobs that allegedly americans are not capable of doing. billionaire mark cuban is a vocal supporter of h1b. he says importing labor makes american stronger. mark cuban, thanks for joining us tonight. the president's h 1 b executive order will slow down that visa process from abroad. you've said in past statements you think that's bad for america. how so? >> right. well, there is two parts to the h1b story. first, there is the hoarding w of visas, which i think is a problem. you get a lot of outsourcing companies that apply to the lottery in huge numbers and they just win a lot of visas and they use them for lower paying jobs. that'she wrong. hopefully this addresses it. on the flip side, there is the other side of gettingre the most qualified applicant

for a company. and going out there and searching the world for the best applicant, i think is a good thing for american business. it allows to us compete globally in ways we mightom may not have otherwise been able to. >> tucker: that's the talking point and it makes sense i have to say on itsts face.g but the reality as you know is that 80% of the foreigners admitted under h 1 b make less in the it you not because they are h unskilled but because they save labor costs. that's the idea. >> correct. remember i said there were two elements here. >> tucker: 80% is why.hy >> but, but it still makes a difference, right? the nuances, the details matter, tucker. the companies that are hoarding visas, they are theng ones that are causing the problem you are mentioning where people are coming in and they are forcing down wages. that's bad. that's wrong. that's not at the core of the value of h 1 b visas. so when you look at the y actual numbers you are

exactly right and hopefully this will address it when it comes to competing for the best talent around the world i believe in american exceptionism.. i believe we can compete. when someone from one of our universities a native born, immigrant, natural lived however you want to define someone working here in the united states when they can't get the job, we get smarter. we know someone doesn't get a job from me, you know, i tell them work harder, geta smarter, you will get it the next time around. you will get the next job. i think that's good for everybody. >> tucker: in a lot of those cases we don't get smarteroo we go on disability. >> go on to disability? >> tucker: people actually stay out of the labor force for huge long periods ofct time they are not even counted in the official numbers.s. >> tucker that's so far out of left field to assign a disability issue. >> tucker: i'm talking about disability insurance one of the ways that people make due when they don't have a full-time job as you know. >> of course. no question. people going on disability when they shouldn't is an issue.

don't attach it to the h 1 b visa issue. >> tucker: i'm not attacking anyone for being disabled. you're missing the point. what i'm merely say something we have a huge unemployment problem in america. that also extends to people who graduate from college, 41% who say they are under employed. we have a massive labor pool educated in our system and, yet, they are being turned away in favor of people being educated abroad. that does not help america in any way. >> well, again, part of what's going to change is the visa hoarding. i can't emphasize that enough. h that is where americans get undercut in the pricing for jobs. problem we agree there. where there is better talent external and it's global we have to go get them. otherwise, those people are going to go to other companies around the world. this are going to come in and compete with our companies and not only will the job be lost that was given to the better talent but the companies that needed them, all those other people that worked for thosese companies may lose their jobs as well.se

bigger picture, look, tucker, either you believe in capitalism, either you believe in the marketin economies or you don't. there is no in between: part of capitalism is how people compete for jobs, right? >> tucker: i love that when did the left become addicted to market fundamentalism. there are many in betweens. >> i'm not the left, tucker. i'm not the left by a long shot. >> tucker: would you apply market forces to your marriage, to your family? there are limits to how far. [laughter] >> tucker: i'm serious. capitalism is not religion. effective way of generating wealth. in the way it hurts americans shouldn't we respond? >> that's a big, big question. >> tucker: you are the one that said are you against capitalism, i likeur capitalism. when it hurts americans, i'm willing to make adjustments. wouldn't you be?

>> isn't that the nature of capitalism? isn't that the nature of a market economy that? the short-term there is dislocation, there is disruption? but hopefully because of american exceptionism, because we are who we are,e that we believe in entrepreneurship, we believe in the american dream that entrepreneurs can go out and use that -- use their knowledge to create new companies?t so, yeah, i hate the displacement that occurs when there is change. but the reality is, in a a capitalist market driven system with adjustments and, yeah, there is things where we give some on a true market system. that's a good thing. i'm not for fair libertarianism. if companies can't go out and hire the best talent. those companies are still going to have to compete with the smarter people in a global economy. >> tucker: that's a great point. wouldn't you concede there s is something compulsive watching guys like mark zuckerberg invoke in order to get cheaper labor from india.

you want to hire people cheaply. stop lecturing me about rosa parks, right? >> you know, first of all, i don't go out. i have never used h-1 b visa to go and bring somebody n my 150 plus companies. i want to get that on the table. as far as microsoft and facebook and some others, i don't think they are using outsourced labor, which again, is what is driving down the pricing and what is causing jobs and where you are seeing the examples of people having to train their replacements. i think for the most part they pay premiums. and the studies i have seen facebook and google, et cetera, when they hire they pay a premium. they are not coming in to cut down the price of labor. >> tucker: do you think it would be fair tort u.s. government to require employers when they bring over people on h-1 b visa to pay the market price and not undercut american labor when they bring people in. >> on the surface that makes perfect sense. i think that's happening. again, tucker, i can't repeat it enough. if you get rid of the visa hoarding, the problem that you have and i agree with you here.

we are on the same pagebl here. if you get rid of visa hoarding that problem disappears. if you change the lottery so that it's based on the job. it's based on a meritocracy that problem disappears. i really agree that there is a necessity for changes in h 1 b but getting rid of the hoarding will solve that problem. >> tucker: why has nobody done this? i don't want to get too political with you. i know you are not a political guy. gee-whiz we just had 8 years of the messiah who cared about ordinary americans. this is a problem. you are conceding it's a problem. why didn't the lastt administration address this? maybe because they were inin bed with the tech community? >> well, maybe.. but, at the same time, you have to prioritize. and, you know, i don't have an answer for you. i'm not a liberal. i'm not a conservative. i think for myself. i'm an independent. there's always a way to finance specific problems. and you know government doesn't always deliver those. so i'm not going to speak to why it didn't get solved before. >> tucker: fair point. mark cuban thanks for

joining us. i appreciate it. >> always fun, thank you. >> tucker: this is a fox news alert. fresno, california residents were terrorized by a mass shooter today. according to early reports the alleged shooter may have been motivated by islamic radicalism and hatred of white people. for more on the story we go to jonathan hunt who is there jonathan. >> reporter: tucker, it's important to point the top here, the fbi tells us it is not at this point treating this as a terrorism incident. it's equally important to point out that according to the fresno police chief, after firing 16 rounds and killing three random people, 39-year-old corely alli mohammed shouted allah akbar arabic for god is great after being taken into custody by police officer. he sometimes called himself the black jesus and on his facebook page madefa antigovernment statements and said he did not like white people.

all three of the victims in today's shooting were white men. police had been shooting for kori muhammad since last thursday when he allegedly shot and killed a security guard who was also white at a local motel 6. they say he has a criminal history involving guns, drugs, false imprisonment and terrorist threats.s, he also had a history of mental illness according to court documents sufferinghe from psychosis and a substantial degree of paranoia. press conference going on right now again with the police chief, tucker. we will bring you up to date if there is any new information. tucker. >> tucker: jonathan hunt, thanks a lot. by the way the press isay doing its best to down play the likely motive for this attack. the a.p. reporter shouted god is great. did he not shout that he shouted allah akbar. it matters and the associated press knows it matters. maybe it will turn out he was radicalizeded methodist or extreme presbyterian or lutheran with a grudge. we will keep you posted.

the trump administration is vowing to defeat the massive criminal enterprise known as ms-13. jeff sessions blamed a nearly open southern border for the gang's rise. defeating them will be a top for the department. what is the plan to beat ms-13 which is estimated to have 10,000 members in the united states. the attorney general of the united states joins us now. thanks a lot for coming on. >> thank you, tucker. good to be here. >> tucker: to what extent are the immigration policies t of the last couple presidential terms tied to the rise of ms-13. >> it's no doubt had it an impact because so many of these people are illegally here. they came without proper authority. and with a good, lawful border, many of them would not be here. they have sent some of the most violent people who would never have cleared a proper visa process and

crimes they have committed in el salvador. yes, i don't think there is any doubt that the open border, the lawlessness that we have had is a factor in the rise of this ms-13.me >> tucker: so some of them we know came here as unaccompanied minors illegally and allowed to stay. under the former policy dodo you know if an unaccompanied minor was found to have ties to ms-13 would he have been deported or allow today stay? u >> i think the undocumented people who came were sent here by their leaders backck in el salvador. many of them operating from jail where they are serving murder convictions and those kind of things. oute this were directed of inner. if they came and claimed them sizzles as a minor. and obama administration let them come into the country and took them to destination city and took them over to some relative to claimed to be a relative.ti they had a mechanism to enter the country. they have been here a number of them have for a number of

years. in the late 80's and mid 90's really 2,000. about 2009, we had some real progress against them numbers dropped. the violence was on the defensive but they have come back aggressively in the recent years. >> tucker: so there are case us documented of ms-13 w members bragging about permissive immigration laws how we change the policies to keep them out? >> well, first, we are going to secure the border.o we are going to build a wall. we are going to add morere agents on the border. the numbers have already dropped dramatically. we had -- march was the lowest entrants of illegal immigrants in 17 years in this country. that's donald trump's leadership. he is determined to do that and end this lawlessness. we are backing him up. the home land security department is really working hard and we are going to continue on that. so the numbers are down. so when fewer enter our

border patrol have a much better chance of catching those who do.. identifying those who are violent and deporting them. >> tucker: here's what i don't understand.e that seems like a pretty obvious solution that any country acting in its own interest would do. why hasn't that been done?e? why, if we knew these people were coming from he will value is a door and joining a criminal enterprise like this and killing people, whyhy would we have allowed that.ro >> we simply have been in denial about this pro-process.ut we are having a lot of people come to the country who are not dangerous illegally. >> tucker: yeah. >> but a lot of them are. these groups are there has been such a political defense of the entire process, defense and attack of anybody who wants to end the lawlessness, what we want to say to the world is please come lawfully. >> tucker: yes.ua >> wait your turn, make your application and it will be evaluated. you will be accepted come.pe don't come illegally. that's what the americanan people have a right to expect their government to

do. and in the process we can protect them from some of the violent criminals and terrorists that are coming in. >> tucker: so the government ofo he will is asalvador has designated ms-13 a terrorist organization. would it be helpful for our government to do the same. >> i believe it could qualify for that there are rules against the state department does to establish that. but, we know they're violent.ou we know that if we focus our prosecutorial and investigative resources and we had a meeting today with all the top federal law enforcement officers and the agencies in our government, to focus on this group. and as we have cases and we work them hard, we are pursue convictions and then we deport people who are here unlawfully, we can devastate this gang. we're going after them. we are not going to allow them to take over a block, a corner of our communities. and terrorize people with this violence. they use machetes. they kill children. they put children in prostitution at age 12. this is one of the most

violent gangs in the history of our country, no doubt about it. >> tucker: really quickly i want to put up a map of thee spread of ms-13. think are not just in the border towns as you would imagine. they are throughout the country. how hard would it to be root this group out in all the different cities. >> tucker, this is going to be hard but not impossible. they are not geniuses. not the top criminals. many of them are poor criminals, actually. they are involved in the kind of activities that can be identified and they can be prosecuted. it's 40 states have ms-13 members in them. some of the -- we have got 10,000 now in the country. o but i believe if we stay at it, we can devastate this organization and that's going to be our goal. >> tucker: i wonder when all this happened. mr. attorney general thank you for joining us. >> thank you.ha good to be with you. >> tucker: up next, an election tonight in georgia is being treated as a referendum on the president's leadership. we will give you update on what happened there. plus, there has been no further action in syria since the strike two weeks ago.

does the president have a plan for what to do next? does he need one, actually? brit hume joins us after the break. i didn't really know anything about my family history. went to ancestry, i put in the names of my grandparents first. i got a leaf right away. a leaf is a hint that is connected to each person in your family tree. i learned that my ten times great grandmother is george washington's aunt. within a few days i went from knowing almost nothing to holy crow, i'm related to george washington. this is my cousin george. discover your story. start searching for free now at ancestry.com i am totally blind. and i live with non-24, a circadian rhythm disorder that can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the people, places, and things i love.

the people i love have always been there for me. and now, i'm there for them, too. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424 to learn more.

whoa,i just had to push one button to join. it's like i'm in the office with you, even though i'm here. it's almost like the virtual reality of business communications. no, it's reality. intuitive one touch video conferencing is a reality. and now it's included at no additional cost with vonage business. call now and see why 3,000 companies a month are switching to vonage. business grade. people friendly. >> tucker: this is a fox news alert. we are full of them tonight. the polls have closed in that special election in georgia's sixth congressional district. democrat jon ossoff is hoping he flip the seat and deliver a strong we buick to the president in a district that narrowly voted for him. is he 30 years old. for more we go to jonathan serrie who is in sandy spring, georgia tonight. hey, jonathan. >> hi, tucker. you know, when this eveningg began, this celebration that

jon ossoff's party here, people were expressing cautious optimism. now it has turned into downca right enthusiasm. although only a fraction of the precincts are reporting. the news they are getting so far is good for democrats. it shows ossoff with a commanding lead. now, it's anyone's guess whether is he going to win this election outright. this is what people arect referring to as a jungle primary where all 18 candidates, democrats, republicans, and independents were on the same ballot. but if one of thoset. candidates can get more than 50% of the vote, they win the election outright.t. if not, it goes into a runoff in june. democrats obviously would like to win tonight. some republican strategists say they would prefer a runoff. republicans have 11 candidates who have been taking votes from each other but if it goes down to one candidate, then they can get voters to rally around them and it becomes a more competitive contest.

tucker? >> tucker: jonathan, thanks a lot for that we will be bringing updates throughout the night on that race in georgia. it's been two weeks since the u.s. hit syrian air base. after the attack many of the lawmakers especially more hawkish ones called for trump to adopt a more aggressive policy on syria. lock in a particular strategy in that country? we're joined by fox senior political analyst brit hume who has watched this kind of thing for a long time and has the perspective some of a us don't. t brit, great to see you tonight.t. does the president need a syria policy that's differential, or not? >> i don't think he needs one yet, tucker. i think what happened here is that the use of the chemical weapons provided a kind of targeted opportunity for the trump administration to display a willingness to use force.io condoleezza rice said to me years ago when she was secretary of state that the united states in a few of its alliesta practice diplomacy in a way that few if any other nations on earth do. certainly few of our allies. diplomacy backed by the

possibility of the use of force. of course, if you are going to have that possibility alive in people's minds, every now and then you haveos to do it. so he did it here. and then he did it later as we saw in afghanistan. and both case, these were events that he could -- that he could carry out. they have a purpose to respond in the case one to assad's use of those weapons. and in the second case to try to attack that complex of tunnels being used by isis in afghanistan. those things have a validity of their own.of but they also serve the purpose of saying to the whole world we're not afraid to use force. and, of course, you know, he is moving the uss vinson toward the waters off korea, although they haven't gotten there yet. certainly, kim jong un knows they are on the way, that carrier battle group. these actions on his part do not, in my mind, require him now to come forward and state some full blown, long-term and short-term

strategy in either syria or even north korea. but any do introduce into the equation the prospect that the u.s. might use force. and, of course, the possibility of the use of force has been basically off the table now for the pastha eight years and maybe arguably longer. so, he has changed the atmosphere. but i'm not at all sure that -- and if he never went back and did anything, he still would have, for the time being, anyway, changed the atmosphere in the world about what the united states might do. >> tucker: this is going to be gravely disappointing to a lot of his critics who hate everything he has done except this and who see the attack on syria as appetizer and main course being iran. you are saying that he hasn't become neo conservative all of the sudden. he is, in effect, just doing this for strategic reasons but it's not part of some grand plan? >> right. s i mean, these things have tactical effect in the sense that they do effect the situation and i mean, bashar

al assad paid a price for using the chemical weapons in the sense that he lost part of his air power. >> tucker: right. in afghanistan the use of that massive bomb had the effect of killing isis fighters and damaging a tunnel complex that theyrs had been using against the afghan regulars and our own forces. so these things had military purposes. but, as i say, military purposes that are valid and stand alone but they also had the additional effect of changing the diplomatic atmosphere. and i think, you know,ch we have been trying this -- we talked about the use of force for some time now, you know, as if it were an option. under president obama itow never really was and he preferred that in syria. >> tucker: right, certainly this kind of force, you know, on public display. do you think the administration has decided to effect regime change in syria to oust assad from power?ff >> i think that's the secondary objective. and not a near term

objective. i think the near term objective in syria is tom try to wipe out isis. and then at that point lookob at the situation and see where we go from there. i mean, we only -- assad is no american ally. his regime has not been. and i think obviously they would like to see him go. and the country can hard live recover from this h hideous war with him still in power. i think that's a secondary objective. so i -- and i think it will be a while before we know how they follow through once objective number one is affected. >> tucker: i think you put a lot of his supporters at ease tonight. brit, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: today is tax day and probably many of are you grouchy but what had you to pay. next guest says taxes should be higher maybe 80%. that means you, viewers of g this show. of this show. stay tuned. ♪

it's not because you object to the richness of. >> i don't think rich people are held to the same standards as other taxpayers. i think that there are loopholes and armies of lawyers and estate planners that allow them to hide their wealth. i would like to see that money go into the economy.e taxes are the price we pay for civilization. i would love to see, you know, free higher education. i would love to see our infrastructure, crumbling infrastructure system found funded in the united states. there are a lot of thingsar that this money could go for if wealthy people were fairly taxed and they just aren't. >> tucker: you are from affluent family what does your mom think of this. >> my parents give a lot of philanthropy as i do. i'm not in the top 1%. we are people who practice what we preach. that means you give a lot of money away in terms of nonprofits. i use tipping you havewa servers a mechanism of redistribution of wealth. >> tucker: i'm for all those things. i'm especially for tipping

waiters i agree with you 100 percent on that so godod bless you. you are asking other people to give their money to the government. why aren't you giving 70% of your income to the government, you could? >> i'm not in the top 1%. >> tucker: you don't need to be. >> that's et argument i'm making because it's notee about working class americans or people like me you were income americans.s. it's about really the wealthiest top 1% now. >> tucker: you are a college professor. i'm not. >> i pay about 30%. >> tucker: why not pay 70%. i don't understand. what's holding you back? >> you know what's holding me back? if i knew how to do that i would have no issue doing that but the tax code totally von voyeur looted. >> simple. write a collect, pay your taxes and figure out 30% you paid. figure out what another 40% would be and send to to the u.s. treasury. washington, d.c., no zip code required. >> you know what i dour instead of that because we don't have a fair system of

taxation. i write checks to nonprofits that are providing services that the government should be providing. so i write checks to planned parenthood. p i have write checks to nonprofits that serve,e, provide safety net for americans. >> tucker: it doesn't actually. why not pass a law requiring people to send money to charity that's more effective than the government? you are conceding that the government is insufficient way to lift up the poor then why wouldn't you send it -- >> -- i would say this train wreck of a trump governmentn' is not the way in serving the poor since they have no interested interest in serving the poor. the government dose a fine john of performs. let me ask you one otheren question here. >> i do practice what i preach. >> tucker: send in more to the government and you are not. >> top 1%. no, no, no, tucker. don't put words in my mouth. i'm saying the government needs to tax the top 1%

fairly. if we're going to talk about taxation. i have think i'm taxed fairly. i choose to spend way more than the majority of my income on other people. i choose to do that. but we're not talking about me. we're talking about. >> tucker: of course we are not talking but. >> you don't want to do it. it sounds awful. >> 70% of your in connection with? you don't want to do it. >> no, tucker, you don't get to put words in my mouth. >> tucker: i'm noting the obvious. >> you are noting the obvious? it's not about me. that's the argument. in. >> tucker: let me ask you one more question.
