tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  April 20, 2017 12:00am-1:01am PDT

12:00 am
thank you very much. it was a special day for the players that made that trip today to the white house and it was fun to see them there. we had an opportunity to watch some of that. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight, the question is can democrats win anything these days? jonathan also off got a tremendous amount of free publicity, a lot of hype from the press for his campaign to win in the house seat in a six the district of georgia a place he doesn't actually live. he received more than $8 million, and much of celebrities showed up to help him, the national press anointed him repeatedly a rising star and yet a verdict from the district actual voters, no thanks. if he received at 48% of the vote about what hillary clinton got in november and he was defeated by the combined support for the almost countless number
12:01 am
of republicans running in that race. president trump gloated on twitter saying that dems failed in kansas and are now flailing in georgia, it's no hollywood versus georgia on june 20th which is the runoff. what did jon ossoff have to say, he called his showing a victory for the ages, is this the best of victory democrats can muster? brad woodhouse is the former president of americans united for change, he was a senior advisor during barack obama's presidential monkey, he joins us to date, it's great to see you. what happened last night, this is the future of the democratic party, a guy who loses. >> by that reckoning, karen handel lost. she came in below ossoff. if we're going to a runoff, we don't know what will happen in june, i think there is a fighting chance. if the key here for democrats is going into 2018, they have to show they can compete in these districts whether they are suburban red districts, whether they are world by the districts
12:02 am
they have to show they can compete. if t they close the margin. the best a democrat has done in that seat was about 36%. he got to 48, let's see what he does in june. >> tucker: that's great, where you pick pick up the participation trophy? is it in the district? >> we may win this. >> tucker: you absolutely might but what's a strategy, is it to convince more voters that you hate them, calm or trump orders racist, do you think that's working? >> i think what worked to get him to 48% in striking distance of 58 was to make this a referendum on trump. karen handel did not run as a trump republican in the race leading up to last night, she doesn't want this to be a referendum on trump. i think he had the right strategy, let's see what happens in june. >> tucker: in case our viewers are just tuning in now, he ran against i think 11 republicans who split the republican vote 11 ways. how could you lose 211
12:03 am
republicans? >> he got 48% of the vote, karen handel the next closest republican only got 19. and there were four or five other democrats in the race. 48% pretty impressive. a >> tucker: it doesn't get you into congress, but what's the strategy, what's the theme that undergirds this guy's campaign. if he is a template for democrats running in the post trump era, what exactly is he running on? is it higher wages? is it an end to the opiate crisis? or is it i'm friends with a ton of famous actors in washington. >> i don't think it's friends with a talent famous actors, this is an opposition party right now. i think a big part of it is going to be running as a referendum on donald trump, as a presidency that has gone off the rails that hasn't accomplished anything. i think the one big issue that you can count on in a suburban district like at this health care. evil really care about this issue, i think it's her to
12:04 am
republicans, both their failure to repeal obamacare but also the fact that it's going to cost so many people to lose coverage. i think the environment will be a big issue. >> tucker: with respect, you said that it's an opposition party and you are running against the president and power which i guess makes sense except the entire hillary clinton for president campaign was based on the very same idea that trump is evil, you're a bad person if you support him, you are deplorable. it didn't work. where are the middle class and butter issues that get people elected like bill clinton? why are they talking about them? >> if health care is not a bread-and-butter issue, i don't know what is. that is an issue that has taken a toll and the president's popularity, it's taken a toll on republicans. i think it's one reason the race in kansas got as close as it did. >> tucker: that's legitimate, health care is a real issue, is it running on obamacare, trump
12:05 am
people didn't do a good job of selling their program, are democrats going to run on obamacare? it so much better than you think it is put to mark >> i can tell you what, i was involved in a campaign in 2012 for the president at that point in time ran for reelection on obamacare and he got reelected. i think democrats should lean into obamacare. this whole notion that it is in a death spiral that it's been debunked, it's been debunked by other experts, i would run on maintaining obamacare. >> tucker: what's the approval rating for obamacare was to mark not the individual mandate for the whole program? what's the approval rating among swing voters the kind you need to run win elections? >> the lustful ice on nationally, obamacare had a 56% approval rating, the president had a 41% approval rating, i'll take obamacare if i'm ossoff over trump if i'm handle. >> tucker: trump is not above 50 in multiples and it shouldn't be surprising because he's an agent of russia who will be impeached, do you remember that?
12:06 am
we were hearing that's two weeks ago for members of congress. people are going to jail, the president is going to lose his job because he's working for vladimir putin. what happened to that story? >> i don't know, i think the real story is not what he's doing now it's what occurred. >> tucker: there's another cable channel every single night for weeks, your voters loved it, there's no "new york times" editorial calling for impeachment, it's a matter of national security, how can we be ignoring that? >> i think what has happened is we're trying to figure out where it is a talker, were trying to figure out where this armada supposed to be going to north korea is. to speed on does it have to do with the fact that the president of united states is a puppet dangling from the strings controlled by the evil vladimir putin in the kremlin. i've been hearing that for five months. what happened that story? >> i'll tell you what i think happened. this president is under scrutiny both politically and legally or
12:07 am
what happened before the election for what happened with russia. if he and his campaign may have colluded. we know for a fact that russia intervened in the election, everyone agree with that, >> tucker: that's not factually true. there is no evidence that russia, the russian government broke into or had anything to do with the break-in with the violation of john podesta's email account, i don't think the intel community believes that it's just not true, there isn't a consensus. >> the consensus as they interfered in the election to donald trump. what may be true is they colluded. the president facing that scrutiny, that legal scrutiny can't cozy up to putin and can't do all of his business. if >> tucker: the conspiracy continues. to throw the bloodhound's office
12:08 am
sent he has in fact taken a positional hostile to russia. >> i'm not even saying it's a conspiracy, i'm saying he may have figured out the right approach, they need to put u.s. interests ahead of russian interests in syria, in north korea, if he's doing that legitimately, i applaud it. >> tucker: he shouldn't go to prison now for subverting american democracy on behalf of vladimir putin? want to be going to admit it was just wrong, it was a silly way to account for a loss you didn't expect, she ran a bad campaign, the middle-class doesn't like democrats anymore when not admit that rather than blaming it on a foreign power? >> this is not about blaming it on a foreign power, the fbi is investigating this. if if you have an issue with them -- >> tucker: i do have an issue with the fbi eventually actualy greatly hurt the presidential campaign of hillary clinton, no one mentions that i noticed. the point is the narrative for
12:09 am
five months is that he is literally illegitimate he participated in an assault on those sacred institution of the american might. now that he did something the left approves of, were going to kind of forget about it. >> i don't think anyone is forgetting about it. this really is in the hands of the fbi, the senate and intelligence committees. they are investigating whether or not -- >> tucker: does anyone really believe it, let's pretend there's people not watching. the democrats at high-level members of congress yelping about impeachment at present are they actually believe that stuff? is that heartfelt or is it just part of a series of talking points? >> i believe there's something there, the fbi asked for a fisa warrant for carter page and this was a foreign policy advisor to president trump. >> tucker: he was on a
12:10 am
committee, nobody believes carter page was central to the trump campaign. trump and his daughter were central, that was at. it was a dumb story, do you really think that nancy pelosi was out there saying our country is in peril, our national security is violated did she really believe that courts mark >> here's what i believe i believe russians interfered in our democracy whether they did it to benefit donald trump or hillary clinton or whether they would do it in a future election, i think that's a problem, i'm sure you agree that's a problem appeared >> i think were overstating it dramatically for political reasons and were trying to pretend it never happened, but some of us have long memories so i'm going to torment my friends on my left for months over this. thanks for coming on. tensions remain high tonight for north korea which tried and failed to launch a ballistic missile last weekend. there's been a lot of speculation over whether they can strike united states with a nuclear weapon, even if they can't, what would war with the kim's fortress state look like? one man who has thought a lot
12:11 am
about this is a george friedman he is founder of geopolitical futures and he joins us now. the white house said were not good do any more nuclear testing, north korea said were going to do both, what are we going from here? >> we have to look at what we know, the problem is we don't know the nuclear weapons are operational at this point. we have to assume the worst. we have to take out of the facilities that they have. does intelligence know where they are? do they know how well constructed they are, do they have to be penetrated? i suspect they do. the big problem is this, a huge concentration of artillery on the dmc in northeast area that has soul in range. seoul is the capital of
12:12 am
south korea, if they (that city there's going to be holocaust. it's not enough to bomb a nuclear facilities we have to take out the artillery and that's not going to be an easy job, it's not going to be a one-day strike. it's so much scattered around that it's going to be strategic bombers attacking day after day to take those out and in the meantime, they will be firing at seoul. >> tucker: they spent 65 years putting the stuff in place, meanwhile, as these tensions rise, china which plays an integral role are they using this to their advantage, these tensions? >> for a very long time, i've seen them facing demands from the united states from all administrations for shifts in their trade policy, for shifts in currency. what has constantly happened is some time and that negotiation, the north koreans do something insane. we feel we have to respond, we need to run to the chinese and say help us out. they do.
12:13 am
the north koreans calm down. we go back to negotiations and they say we just help you out, now you're going to push us in trade? the interesting thing about donald trump, he admitted this is the game, this is a game that's being played for many years but he said i'll trade trade for north korea. >> tucker: it by admitting and telling the rest of the world of the chinese are playing a game designed to increase our trade advantage, is that helpful to u us? >> it has this much help it takes the obvious and makes it believable. this is going on for a long tim time, it went on in the bush administration, now the president has said that this is the game the chinese are playing. it sets up his future moves however, we've been blackmailed less time on north korea, let's get back to trade. he's made it clear if they help this time he's going to cut them a better deal. i've never seen a politician do this in the open, simply admit
12:14 am
what the game is. a >> tucker: interest there's got to be an advantage over the way it's been played previously. would you rate north korea the greatest new filmic nuclear threat to the united states or is there a scarier one? >> at this moment it's the greatest one because we are not certain, we know that it has the ability to build nuclear weapons. can it miniaturize them? can it make them bucket enough to be launched by a missile? are the missiles reliable enough? that doesn't seem to be the case. i can say that easily because i have no responsibility. the president has to make the call, how much a chance chance to see willing to take and figure out just what the price is going to be? this is the most dangerous i suspect because it's good to be the hardest one to eliminate. >> tucker: do you think finally that the north korean government is predictable and rational in its evil way? >> it has been perfectly predictable. it wants to appear to be weak so that nobody bothers it, crazy so that nobody pokes at it because
12:15 am
who knows what they'll do, and ferocious capable of destroying the world. even though they are a country that is insignificant by most measures, they have managed to maneuver the japanese, the south koreans, the chinese, the russians, and the americans into treating them as an equal. that is a brilliant move and they've done that over the years and you don't have to like them or respect them, they are good at this. if >> tucker: it's a prison move, someone hassles you you bite his nose off, you know they never bother you again. thank you for joining us, it was really interesting. up next, just a few months ago, uc berkeley righted to prevent a speech, now they won't let ann coulter a speak. europe has taken millions of migrants and more steadily pouring in, we'll talk to a pro-refugee group who says
12:16 am
europe's open-door policy isn't open enough and in fact blamed europe for the refugee crisis, stay t
12:17 am
12:18 am
12:19 am
and coulter was scheduled to speak at the university of california berkeley the jewel of the, now it's canceled her lectures citing safety concerns this is the third time protests and rioters have denied conservatives an equal chance to speak at berkeley which is a taxpayer funded
12:20 am
school nominally subject to the first amendment. apparently rioters get a veto as long as they are left of center, and coulter joins us tonight. we regret to this outcome theouh canceled especially given your unqualified support for our students right to bring speakers of their choosing to the university and our deep commitments to the values and principles embedded in the first amendment, it's the opposite of that, actually, isn't it? >> yes it is, i am giving the speech, what are they going to do, arrest me? they can put me in the birmingham jail. i am definitely giving the speech, i'm invited to give the speech, they kept piling on requirements, ruses, you can to speak of evening, you have to speak in the daytime when kids are in classes, you have to
12:21 am
exclude everyone except students. the intermediaries kept encouraging me to say this is unfair, they never do this to liberals. i kept saying nope, i'll do it, okay, okay. i agreed to all of their demands and then wake up this morning and they sent out a letter saying how much they love the first amendment and freedom of speech and if there are so committed to it but we're just her anyway. >> tucker: what does that mean exactly, they're not allowing you to speak there? these are supporters of the first amendment? >> will find out if they arrest me if i show up to give my speech. that is is apparently their intent, you're absolutely right, it is a taxpayer-funded institution not to mention lots of kids getting federal money to be there. attorney general jeff sessions should be looking at this. we always knew that the
12:22 am
universities were like this but it's things like you meet kids, every college campus you go to and they will say i got an a on every paper until i wrote one defending concealed carry and then i got an f. >> tucker: were putting up posters on campus from a group opposing your appearance, bragging about how they got you kicked off, they got their event harder was silence too. do you think it is threats from groups like this that kept you off campus? >> i think it's the faculty in the administration. it was to student groups that invited me, one was the college republicans one was as far as i know a nonpartisan group that just invites speakers, i think they were embarrassed about what happened with my low and they wanted to show we can have another speaker. i think you have kind of a pure case of it here. i love my low but i'm not my low, i'm a 12 time "new york times" best-selling
12:23 am
author, i will be speaking on the topic of my second to last "new york times" bestseller registering at number two. if that is speech that the university -- forget the changing thing that i have to speak in the middle of the day, i said okay. >> tucker: on what grounds, what was their justification exactly? >> lots of words, words, words, words, because i called their bluff and they didn't have another reason to cancel me. one of the excuses was we need more than four weeks to prepare for a speech like this. if what you are worried about his violent protesters you want to give them about 4 minutes, you don't give them four weeks to prepare to come in protest and shut the thing down. >> tucker: that's fascinating. it >> what are you going to show up anyway? >> same day, next thursday the
12:24 am
27th. i'm not sure i will do it in the daytime, do it when normal speakers corrupt latin american rulers like vincente fox are allowed to speak but i will definitely speak next week at berkeley. >> tucker: and good luck, and coulter. europe has taken in millions of migrants, some says it isn't enough. we'll talk to the head of pro- pro-refugee, who says europe needs to up its migrant intake, went to ancestry, i put in the names of my grandparents first. it gave me a leaf almost right away. within a few days, i went from knowing almost nothing to holy crow, i'm related to george washington. i didn't know that using ancestry would be so easy. the following ad for your viewing convenience.

i finally switched to geico. oh yeah? ended up saving a ton of money on car insurance. i hear they have a really great mobile app. the interface is remarkably intuitive. that's so important. ♪
12:26 am
12:27 am
12:28 am
>> tucker: in the past few years, millions of africans have realized that they simply hop in a boat and set themselves adrift in the mediterranean, they can be quickly picked up and delivered to western europe. this tolerant policy has done nothing to stem the migrant wave, it's increased it. tens of thousands of people keep arriving in libya and now some of them are being preyed upon by slave traffickers, traffickers and assorted parasites. he says the situation is fundamentally europe's fault, she joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. why is europe responsible for taking in these refugees? all of whom by the way i feel
12:29 am
for and i think a lot of them are fleeing and not just poverty but terror and your heart goes out. why is europe responsible for taking them in? >> you're absolutely right, people are fleeing because they feel that they have no choice in their country of origin but also libya. europe has a responsibility because people are arriving, people are dying on europe's shores. this is the most deadly journey for migrants in the world. 5,000 people died in the mediterranean last year and this is a stain on europe's reputation as the richest economic bloc in the world. >> tucker: i just want you to get you to fully explain where that responsibility comes from. people are dying, i agree with you, i feel sorry for them for sure, i agree with you, europe is rich. are you saying that rich countries have an obligation to let in anyone who wants to, because why? what is that obligation come from? >> i'm saying that europe is definitely treating this as an
12:30 am
issue, people are arriving on europe's shores, there are thousands of people in italy and greece it's a problem for europe. what's happening now is that the european union, european leaders are so focused on trying to stop people from leaving, their priority is stopping people from leaving libya, the problem is libya is not a normal country, it's not a stable country with functioning institutions. people personally have told me, i was beaten up on the phone. >> tucker: you don't need to convince me, i'm sold. what's happened in libya is a man-made disaster and it's terrible, you're not answering my core question and that's the core question, why is europe responsible? why shouldn't these people be sent to bolivia or kenya or china? i don't understand why europe or the united states is uniquely responsible for their faith, what's the answer? >> europe is responsible when people are arriving in the water off the coast of europe. these are international treaties, european countries and
12:31 am
european vessels can't send people back to libya, that would be breaching international law. >> where does that come from? why can't they be sent to another country? you know exactly the point here which is there is a more extensive collective guilt in the west that makes people like you believe that rich countries but only english speaking and european speaking countries have this obligation like japan is a rich country too, why are they obligated to take these people? >> is not only english speaking countries, there is france, there's germany. >> tucker: european countries. where does this onus come from? if that is the whole point, europe has an obligation, why? >> it does have an obligation people are arriving, countries all over the world receive hosting refugees, it's not true that everyone is on europe's doorstep or the u.s.? there are programs where people
12:32 am
can be resettled to third countries? those include canada. these are countries that have systems that can accommodate people. when you're talking about some of the richest countries in the world, there's no excuse for letting people drown. >> tucker: rich people have an obligation to taken strangers at their own expense to who might pose a threat to them because why? you can't answer it what it does raise this question, china is the biggest emerging country in the world, likely to be the richest country in the world pretty soon, how many are rescinded there, why don't we press the chinese to take them? >> lets be pragmatic, these are people who are arriving in ital italy. what do you do? the european countries have signed on to international treaties on how you treat refugees, how you comply with people's rights. people who are at risks of torture. it >> tucker: you were just saying one of the crimes that europe is supposedly committing is forcing them to remain in libya. they haven't reached european
12:33 am
shores, europe clearly has an interest in that because these refugees because they're probably all great people are nevertheless a burden to european taxpayers, they have a real effect on the existing population, you're saying it's a crime to prevent them from coming here. >> i'm saying in the current context when people are being sold and bought, people have told me were treated like animals. the what i'm saying is what's missing from the european countries approach right now is what do you do with these people? they want to prevent them from leaving, what does that mean? this is a crisis right now, we're not talking about a normal situation where you can set up programs. in >> tucker: maybe i've traveled more than you but people are being evolved and sold and abused in a dozen countries at least, i can name for memory just on the continent of africa, i feel for every one of them, do they all have a moral obligation to live at taxpayer expense in omaha or brussels, do they? is that what you are arguing? >> first of all, libya is not --
12:34 am
there's unspeakable violence going on in libya, you can't as an african walk around in the street, there's huge amounts of racism, that's what i'm saying. >> there's huge violence in congo or zimbabwe. >> that's why some people are fleeing those places. >> tucker: the europeans are putting a lot of money in controlling their borders in setting up programs training the libyan coast guard, what i'm saying is what you need to look at is a whole and what it means to these people, many of whom fled to their countries they couldn't stay. eritreans are nigerian spirits bill and i get it, i guess what i'm saying is there are two sides to this question. people live in western europe and have it for millennia and their countries are being changed and made it demonstrably worse by mass migration, don't they have a say in this? don't you recognize that they should have a voice too? these are democracies people get
12:35 am
to vote to choose the policies they want, if they don't want this, why should they be scolded by you? >> they do have a vote they do have a say, and they want to live and enforce the rule of law and like i said, these are international treaties. if you are dealing with a country like libya, if you are putting money in. if your trading coast guards in that country to actually take people back to detention centers where there is sexual abuse going on where this extortion weathers forced labor, that does your your peer taxpayers money. the millions of euros of the european union is putting -- >> tucker: i'm not attacking you, i think you're making some fair points. i'm encouraging you to think of it from the other perspective you seem to be refusing to. that they're not just the rights of the migrants at stake here, but the rights of the people who live in those countries. and in this country, will you acknowledge those urgent legitimate rights too quits mark >> absolutely. i think everyone would benefit from this being dealt with in an orderly way.
12:36 am
>> tucker: okay. in other words importing wholesale people from dysfunctional countries into functional countries and paying for it and hoping that will provide an incentive for millions more to come, you and i both know that it will come a right? >> what's the incentive? it's what people pushes people away is not what encourages them to come. if your house is burning you, you're going to run away. >> tucker: thanks a lot for joining us. last week for the first time ever an american doctor was charged with illegal performing female genital mutilation which is a genuinely harmful thing. a growing muslim presence makes more arrests in evitable. venezuela's failing government has a desperate plan to hold onto power ended provides an ominous warning to america, will tell you what that warning is, stay

>> tucker: told you recently about this horrifying case
12:41 am
out of detroit, e.r. physician was arrested last weekend performing female genital mutilation on young girls across the country it's so disturbing that were not going to describe it in detail in more disturbing you have to have an expert on this topic. she was subjected to this as a young age, she has since come to the west to be vocal critic of fundamentalist beliefs in general, to be six joins us tonight, thanks so much for coming on. as far as i understand, this practice has been banned for 20 years, does that mean it doesn't happen? >> what happens that it happens a lot. i started the foundation back in 2007 and girls have been coming for us, we know that it happens. i have to say i commend the fbi
12:42 am
in this particular case, it was a whistleblower in 2013 who said that this is going on, the fbi did a good job of prosecuting this particular doctor, i think it's going to send the necessary message, unfortunately, there are 26 states in the united states that have no laws. it makes it easy for people who want to have little girls chaperone, the this particular woman mutilated, they were brought in from minnesota where it is banned to michigan where there is no proper bam. there's a lot of work to do still. >> tucker: this practice is so cruel and horrifying that i'm not even going and i don't want to per describe what it is on television but it's truly awful. i think any western or hearing
12:43 am
about would agree with that. why has nobody been prosecuted? you sound like you've known and it may be common knowledge by those who look to find the answer, i as law enforcement knocking on this? >> i think it's because people don't really like talking about the genitals of little girls. in my foundation we believe we really do have to describe what happens. their are sewn shut, this is done to kill the libido, the sexual libido of girls when they become teenagers and women and it's to ensure their virginity, that's what we need to know about this. some people have religious reasons for doing it, they say it's because of islam that they do it, others say it's because of culture or a mixture of that. that can never be an excuse to harm girls that way. >> tucker: its absolute horrifying, i don't know why
12:44 am
this isn't on the list of every representative of every human rights group, women's rights group in america. this is so upsetting that i'm still baffled as to why we've ignored us. >> my organization has encouraged legislators to take up -- we've passed successfully legislation in several states. we are still lobbying. what we've come across is crazy identity of the politics in the united states of america now. girls who are at the risk of horrible and horrifying practices, what we see is that people are willing to sacrifice these little girls at the altar of identity politics. it's very difficult for people to talk about the culture and the religion and the harmful practices that are done to minorities and this is happening to little girl spreads when i hate to think you're right but i suspect you are.
12:45 am
to think the price these children are paying, what is the penalty for caught doing this, one person has been charged with the spirit of >> we are really happy with this prosecution, let's watch what happens. at what we do is inform the american people. we try and educate teachers, law enforcement all service providers, this is a practice that is increasing. and there are 500,000 little girls today in the united states who have either under gone or at risk of of this. my foundation could do way more but we don't have the resources. we need help, we need money to employ the right people and to get a lot of people to lose their inhibitions and stand up for these little victims, they are as young as five years old, six years old.
12:46 am
they've taken away in the summer vacation to either the country of origin or two states that have no penalties, that needs to stop. it's on our conscience for it's god bless, the federal penalty for this is five years. if there's any crime deserves a serious penalty commits this one is hard to talk about it as it is, thanks for joining us. cap next our panel will debate what are the days of s
