8:00 pm
movie but i'm proud of the project. kevin and sam and others were phenomenal. as we get closer to october 27, i will let you know more. thank you for being with us. we are not the establishment media, always fair and balanced. see you tomorrow night. >> tucker: well, good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the united states may be losing a star from its flag for the first time ever. that is what activists in the state of california want. ever since the election of president trump, the campaignme for calexit, the succession ofof for calexit, the succession of california to become an independent country, has been gaining steam while the rest of us have been talking about russia. well, now supporters for that plan believe that they are closm to breaking way. they are pushing for a 2018 ballot referendum that would declare california no longer an inseparable part of the united states. and would order the governor to negotiate for greater autonomy up to and including national independence as a country. if campaigners can get 585,000
8:01 pm
signatures by january 22nd of next year, the question will go on the ballot. shankar singam is a californian. he's campaigning for his state to become a separate nation. and he joins us tonight. shankar, thanks for coming on. >> hello. >> tucker: this is one of those stories where we have putn into the amusing category, kind of a joke. i was in california this morning, it dawned on me this is real. this could happen thanks to the ballot initiative system in the state. o this would mean breaking up the united states of america. do you fully comprehend thete applications of this? >> certainly. i don't think it's -- you are making it sound as if california is moving 100,000 miles away. we are not. we are still here. we are still trading with each other, communicating with each other. families are still going to see each other.re it's not as if we are moving millions and miles away. >> tucker: you don't know that. haiti and the dominican republic are next to each other.mi they are on the same island.wa
8:02 pm
and they are totally separate countries that are hostile to each other. just because they are contiguous does not mean that they are part of the same union anymore. you are breaking up the united states. that is your goal. >> they are hostile to each other. we are a nonviolent movement. california is nonviolent. you know our gun policy. i mean, it does not have to be hostile, tucker. we are all still here. >> tucker: why would the rest the states, why would the rest of us, americans, let california go without a war? >> well, i mean, it is really not up to the rest of the states, really, but do the rest of the states really love california? from what i have been hearing, from the rest of the states, we are snowflakes and hippies and we do not -- we are in a huge debt crisis, the hospitals are overcrowded, all the rumors -- >> tucker: those are not rumors.
8:03 pm
i do not think of californians as hippies or snowflakes, i think of them as poor people because there is more poverty in your state than any other. that is just a fact.ak the point is, it is not actually up to california, it is up to the rest of the states whether california can leave the union. and this could easily turn into conflict. it did in the 1860s when south carolina tried it. have you thought this through? >> yes, so, back to the poverty level, yes, we have 40 million people here, so yes, of course, we have a high poverty level. and as far as up to the rest of the states, you know, if you can think of a reason why you want, us to stay, please let me hear it, because what we have been hearing is that we are nothing but a burden to the united states. and the exact opposite is true. not only economically, butte culturally, we are just a dominant state. we are a global powerhouse.
8:04 pm
>> tucker: i'm not against it. keep telling yourself that. i'm from california. my family is from there.e i was there this morning, but it just seems like a big move, so let's get specific. if california becomes its own country, do you plan to give citizenship to the illegals within your borders? do you intend to have a border policy as a country? >> yes, of course we would haveb a border policy. if you are a nation, you need your borders. citizenship to illegals, a definitely a pathway to citizenship that is much quicker than what the united states has right now. c we are already working. we want them working without that stress. they are a key part and integraw part to california. we really need them to, they are the backbone of our economy, the fifth largest economy, and they are really a big part of it. we want them to be comfortable here. have a good path of citizenship. >> tucker: what about all thet federal land in california, the military bases in california? those don't belong to the
8:05 pm
state. do you pay market value for those? >> the military bases we would lease out like germany does and south korea does. pay a yearly fee to california, and as far as the federal land -- >> tucker: so you would have foreign troops on your soil. camp pendeleton, you would have thousand of marinesuc from another country in your country, why would you do that? >> the united states does that to every other country on the planet. i >> tucker: when we are invited in or beat them in the second world war, yes, we do that. t but why would california do that?t? >> in japan and in korea, you are here already. the united states military bases are here, keep them here. if they want a slow withdrawal,, they can slowly take their troops back, the bases back. problemve no with united states being here. >> tucker: you are using the words "they" and "you."er you already don't think that you are part of the united states.
8:06 pm
>> this is california, tucker. we are not the united states. our values are different. we are fundamentally different in the way that we act, we speak, and how we think about the world globally. d whether it has to do with war, the climate, environment. we are just a different state. and i know that you can understand, you being from california, and i'm not sure how long you have not been here, but we are going to do things that are going to be beneficial for our state, and we disregard with the united states thinks or even their laws. for example, marijuana, sanctuary cities, if it is good for the state, we are going to do it regardless of what the federal law is. >> tucker: i'm not sure what to say. you are right in a lot of ways, california is its own country already because of the immigration policy. it is deeply depressing to me an someone who is from there. i think you are telling the truth, in a way. i appreciate that. my one final question, you are
8:07 pm
so mismanaged your little country, state, whatever we are calling it economically.ne there has been a massive exodus of middle-class californians to neighboring states. the numbers are there. you have lost hundreds of thousands of people making between $100,000 and $200,000 in the last ten years. and they have enriched idaho, montana, even wyoming and washington state. if it is such a well-run place, why is the middle-class leaving? >> so, tucker, you have to look at the bigger picture. the fifth largest economy in the world. if you have to repeat that, say it again. we are the fifth largest economy in the world. >> tucker: that's the third time. i got it. it is the economy of mexico. you have a small number of rich people, tech people, and then you have a ton of poor people and the middle class is leaving. that is a recipe for instability. you are aware of that, right? >> in regards to the middle-class leaving, that is actually a good thing. we need these spots opened up for the new wave of immigrants to come up. it's what we do. we are exporting our middle
8:08 pm
class to the united states. you should be thanking us for that. when the middle-class moves out to texas, colorado, they are taking our values out to the united states. so if you look at texas, in fact, all of the major cities that californians are going to, they are turning blue. soon enough, texas will be a blue state. >> tucker: dude, i don't know if this is, like -- i have never met you. i've never heard of you. i don't know if this is a parody segment, you're punking me. or you are really high, ands you're just telling the truth, because high people do. you just said you're happy to be exporting the middle class of your state. i happen to think that your policymakers are happy that they are leaving. but the fact that you are admitting this on live tv. bottom line, are you serious? >> i am only admitting the truth, there is a middle class of people that are leaving california, going to oregon, colorado and texas.tr yes, there is. >> tucker: you are happy about that? >> well, if they want to move, there is nothing for me to stopa them.
8:09 pm
i'm sure that they will find out how boring it is and come back. >> tucker: i don't think so.o. i don't think so. okay. what an amazing interview. thank you. and sincerely, thank you for telling the truth.. i appreciate it. victor davis hanson is a senior fellow at the hoover institution of stanford, a professor at fresno, he has been in california all his life. his family has been there for over 100 years, he has watched the state change. he joins us now. did you hear that interview? >> what's that? yes, i heard that. >> tucker: he said two things that really struck me. one, he does not think that california has much in common with the rest of the country. and two, yes, the middle-class was leaving.nt and that is a good thing. what do you make of that? >> well, it is unhinged from about 75% of the geography of california is red.
8:10 pm
and we have the two californias from san diego toto la jolla where about 30 million people living, but if you were to exceed the oil, the agriculture is farmed, worked, mined by conservatives. and when they go, they are not to leaving to spread california values. they are leaving because they have 13% income tax, the second highest sales tax. and their schools are rated 46re in the country. and i think forbes rated the freeways 49th in the country. so, we have 1 out of every 4 people in california who was not born in the united states. 22% below the poverty level, 1 out of 3 on welfare, so it is mississippi and massachusetts in one state. people are leaving to get away from that. >> tucker: exactly, i was always pro-immigration, always. and what has happened in california makes me pause. this guy admitted that he is happy to replace the middle-class population of california with poor immigrants, because he did not say why, but that is a good thing? >> i am sitting here in
8:11 pm
palo alto, i can tell you that poor immigrants are living 7 to 8 families to a house in redwood city, and they clean the tables of the techies and the masters of the universe. you mention to them, let's build affordable housing on 280. open spaces, we have mass transit, beautiful freeway, they go ballistic. they do like the apartheid society, so it is kind of pathetic that people would admit that you pointed out that they are really medieval in the way that they envision california. >> tucker: you are totally right about their attitudes. move somali refugees to nantucket, the answer as far as i'm concerned. but president trump says you can take the smartphone from his cold dead fingers. he tweeted this today.m "only the fake news media and trump enemies want me to stop using social media 110 million people. only way for me to get the truth out!" meanwhile the press are finally growing tired of comparing the
8:12 pm
president to hitler and moving on to the second --g >> purging people just like kim jong-un, knocking off all of his relatives when he gets scared, when you get scared, you start killing people around you.f we do not do that in this country. we fire them. trump seems to know how to fire. >> you cannot compartmentalize things, because it is more together as donald trump unfit for command. >> i work with families that say it's 10:00 at night come upstairs at the white house. no general kelly around,ps the romanovs are at dinner.. they are sitting around having dinner. you have jared there. the favorite son-in-law. you have the favorite daughter, you have don, jr., stopping by., they are all sitting around talking about what kind of job general kelly is doing. >> the key to donald trump is the blind fierce loyalty, and that's what franco expected in spain. that's what mussolini wanted in italy. >> tucker: every time i feel depressed because i think trump is screwing up, i look at these people and i think, man, there is something
8:13 pm
worse.e. i >> yes, they are historically illiterate if not obscene, because mussolini was responsible for killing about 1.6 million people in north africa. kim jong-un has killed 2 to 4 million. there is no comparison to be made. as far as the tweets go and twitter, it is not an either or, people understand that he has redefined social media in a way that the electronic fireside chat, we go down the cul-de-sacs, and if you haveat 30,000 of them divided by how many days since he has been inaugurated, you get maybe 30 on 40, and such a number, you're going to make a mistake or you are going to be indiscreet. what is the point of that? it distracts from reaching 10 million barrels of oil, a record where we are redefining the strategic importance of the gulf states, eastern europe, because they now are energy independent, we have 2.6
8:14 pm
economic growth. we have record jobs, record corporate profits, record wall street, and all that stuff is getting lost in some of these ten, 5% of the daily tweets. so we do not want to, it is like a fine watch. you know it is not quite working right, but you don't want to take it apart and ruin it. you want to find a way to calibrate it that is effective. i think that john kelly is a man to do that. >> tucker: you assume it is always 5 minutes slow. that's what i do. thank you for joining us tonight. you are a smart man. >> thank you for having me, tucker.o. >> tucker: ethics group says it is an investigation over the long-term employment of a major security risk.ys the guy who tried to flee the country recently.te member of that group will be here next. in part two of the week long ms-13 investigation, one of the gang secrets from the longtime assassins. really an interesting interview. stay tuned.

8:18 pm
♪ >> tucker: times square is famous for its weird characters, many miles will bomb a cigarette off of you. but the weirdest of all of the naked women in body paint who posed for teachers with passersby in exchange for tips. recently cops have received complaints of painted ladies out of control. naked women covered in paint screaming at tourists, grabbing people, demanding cash, that's not allowed obviously. except in bill de blasio's new york. it is now allowed, why is that? according to "the new york post," it's
8:19 pm
allowed because a lot of the naked women are illegal aliens, they have special rights in the city. the city is not willing to arrest or restrain or punish them anyway. it even plans to have them register as panhandlers in a t city database, have been killed because they are illegal aliens, sorry undocumented workers. being anything less than hyper polite to them is of course racism.in being illegal doesn't just mean having the same rights as everybody else. it means having more rights than everybody else including the invented rights to hassle tourists without consequence. in new york city, americano citizens are second-class citizens. how did thatci happen? an ethics group is filing a complaint against florida congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz over an extended employment of a pakistani i.t. worker, the one arrested aftersh trying to flee the country back to pakistan after bank fraud.k
8:20 pm
the foundation says congress should launch an ethics investigation of wasserman schultz who kept awan on her payroll even after he was banned fromas the house computer system because he was deemed ar securiy risk. kendra, thanks for coming on, it's a little bit shocking there isn't already a congressional investigation into this, why is that? >> i agree, this is a bizarre set of facts. there's two tracks to it, there's a criminal side that has to do with technology issues and computer security and then there's the ethics side of it which has to do with abuse of taxpayer funds.he our group is focusing on the use of taxpayer funds. most people don't realize that our house members are paid with
8:21 pm
-- they employ people. they don't pay them their own money, they pay them with theirhe own money. they pay them with taxpayer funds. there is just a natural human inclination to maybe get lax when you're spending other people's money but the ethics rules are there to make sure they are accountable to the citizens. some of those ethics rules came up, members have to pay their employees for public work. they have to pay them for work they are actually doing. and they also have to pay them att a rate that is equal to ther duties they are doing and all three of those were issues in this case. >> tucker: there's a lot of money that went to this pakistani family, you're involved more closely at this tonight. that seems really unusual. i've never heard of an i.t. consultant getting that much money, is it weird? >> the first thing is that it is
8:22 pm
over a large amount of time, it's my understanding for representative debbie wassermanv schultz's i.t. person that several members pooled together to pay him. it is unclear how much work it is doing, and whether he is paid appropriately and whether that rose to a level that is much too high for the amount of work being done. >> tucker: why couldn't you get -- these are simple questions. why did he keep him on the t payroll after he was barred from house computers, which wouldke make him useless as an i.t. consultant? why is it so hard to get an answer to that question? >> that's one of the most intuitive things, if you can't use the computer system, it's very doubtful that you would be a very effective i.t. consultant. i think those are valid questions for the citizens to get the answers to.. we haven't heard anything from representative wasserman schultz on this that explains what is
8:23 pm
going on here. it is concerning, even back in march, a couple other house members did fire him after he was barred from the system a month later. she continued on. that's what's concerning here, she was aware of the issues but she continued to pay him for those months. it really wasn't until he was arrested and everyone was fullyc aware and it was public, being f reported on widely that she went ahead and fired him. we think the citizens deserve at answer to this. and that she should be forthcoming with us. >> tucker: this guy had access to classified information, if you're bored with foreign tampering with politics and government, this seems like a good place to start.d thank you for explaining that to us.ta >> thank you. >> tucker: up next, retired colonel's praising resident trump's foreign policy, he'll explain what he means when he joins us next. foreign policy, l

explain what he means when he joins us next. i take pictures of sunrises, but with my back pain i couldn't sleep and get up in time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am.

8:28 pm
he is ready to discard the bankrupt ideology of the last 25 years, the idea that defended the american people is not enough, that wherever possible u.s. armed forces ought to be deployed in open ended missions around the world to punish evildoers. thanks for coming on.o the u.s. military when possible should be deployed around the world to punish evildoers, i think a lot of people assumeh that assumption that it's a basic function of the u.s. military, why is it not? >> it's not in the constitution it has does nothing to do with national defense. i think that's what president trump has discovered. another president said when you're in a hole, stop digging. we've dug ourselves into some very deep holes, huge blood and treasure pits that had nothing to do ultimately with the needs of our national defense. >> tucker: there was a fascinating study that came out today about the election and it showed in states with a high percentage of active duty servicemen in iraq and
8:29 pm
afghanistan, trump did better than he did in states with feweu casualties. his attacks on our foreign policy resonated with voters. why don't they resonate here? >> washington is full of people who are very good at definingt -- defying reality. they look at the world through a very different lens. they see things through elections, campaign contributions, constituent interest that are very narrow. they don't have the connection to the reality that soldier, sailors, airmen and marines in places like iraq, syria and afghanistan have. you can look around at any of these places, the average soldier looks around and says i don't see anything here that is worth my life. i see nothing happening here that we can cultivate. there is nothing we can grow,e why are we bothering with this? that's not the first time. as soon as you reach that point,
8:30 pm
it's no longer an effective force. >> tucker: the decision by the white house to stop harming rebel groups in syria, some of them are allied with some real crazies. why is that a big deal? >> he's looked at this and he's said irrationally what are we getting out of it?s when he ran for office and he would say how do we profit? how does this help us? what is this doing for the united states? d 50 different groups, many are fighting with each other on the ground. large quantities of weapons and equipment are falling into hands of sunni islamic extremists. and al qaeda. we know this. we can't control what's happening, we have 400,000 people who have died in the civil war and we are backing a small faction where there is no unity of effort. he's a businessman he says it's time to cut our losses and get out. he wants to focus more narrowly on isis. we have an interest in the destruction of isis.
8:31 pm
we don't have an interest in participating in the syrian civil war.ru that's a different kettle of fish. >> tucker: do we have an interest in ramping up conflict with russia? a lot of people in washington. we just passed the sanctions, nobody even made the case why that's good for america. there is a headlong rush toward a more bellicose posture with russia, do we benefit from that? >> no, we don't. russia has been a menace or 300 years to the western world. sometimes it's been an existential menace and sometimes it's been an irritant. we are unlikely to ever be friends with russia but that doesn't mean where there are nob areas where we can reach compromise. we can find common interests, reach agreements. i think there are a lot of people who want the conflict to continue for other reasons, perhaps profit politically, financially i don't know. we don't benefit from that. >> tucker: thank you
8:32 pm
for saying that clearly, i hope you're right. thanks a lot for coming on. after the break, we'll bring you the next chapter in a weeklong investigation of ms-13, how does it recruit members? how do they make it to america, we talked to a longtime assassin, stay tuned. tuned. ♪ if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's, and your symptoms have left you with the same view, it may be time for a different perspective. if other treatments haven't worked well enough, ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works by focusing right in the gi-tract

8:39 pm
>> tucker: you killed because you were loyal. >> that's right. >> tucker: did you ever go to the united states? >> no. >> tucker: do you know ms-13 members who did go to the united states? >> quite a few of them. >> tucker: you have tattoos s across your forehead, what doo those mean? >> this is for my mom, and this is for the ranking i had within the gang. i was a trigger man. >> tucker: does your mother know you were in ms-13? >> she died. >> tucker: how do you feel now about killing so many people? >> now that i've reached this age, i feel bad.

8:42 pm
being a gang member is thehe saddest thing you can find. >> tucker: the saddest thing you can find, not an answer any of us expected. our series "hunting ms-13" continues tomorrow, at an el salvador detention center where the gang flourishes and finds many of its young recruits. shocking scene. we'll be doing the series every night this week, we hope you'll tune in.k, a man on california's apologizing after he called for "the filth of the jews to be expelled from a mosque in jerusalem," we will talk to a muslim convert who says sharia is a tolerant system of law.

but one in five say it's okay to kill in the name of furthering a religious cause? that seems like a troubling number. >> i would be. i don't believe it. from my experience, i've been a muslim for 37 years. the people that i talk to, the number is nowhere near that. in this area, if you went to the adams center, you wouldn't find a single person who says that. >> tucker: i believe that but my guess is that there are a lot of well-educated, affluent muslims in this area in washington, d.c. i've seen a bunch of polls like this that show that the attitudes of faithful muslimsc. are not western at all. they include a tolerance of violence.. but you don't find among, say, presbyterians or jews. that's not good. >> i have not seen that specific poll myself, i can't say for
8:49 pm
sure. all i can speak as for my personal experience and that would be absolutely impossible to believe based on what i've seen. >> tucker: a lot of americans are concerned about sharia law, they are concerned about polls that show a large number>> of muslims would like to see it supplant civil law in the countries in which they live.. great britain for instance, a huge number would like to see it become the law. in the united states, a pretty large number would say the same. in england it's 4 out of 10, in france it's 29% of french muslims would like to see it replace french law. why shouldn't that make americans nervous as more muslims move here? >> if those figures are accurate there, they are certainly not accurate here. i have not met any one person ever who would ever say they want to supplant u.s. law. the majority of people who came here did so because they want to live in america, they want to live under the u.s. constitution. they want freedom of religion,
8:50 pm
freedom of politics. they want freedoms that every american wants. sharia law for them is simply religious practice. if you want to say that muslims could not practice their religion here, if they say everyone has to pray on sunday, church services had to be on sundays only, people would object to that. muslims want to be able to practice their religion the way it's taught. >> tucker: but in countries with high percentages of muslims, i think every country with a high percentage of muslims, there's not religious pluralismw i don't know of a single gulf country where it's legal to proselytize on behalf of another religion.os i think in every muslim majority country in the world, muslims -- non-muslims have fewer rights. why wouldn't that give americans pause as many muslims are moving here? >> not true. there are many countries, malaysia, indonesia, many countries that are muslim majority enshrine the rights of
8:51 pm
other nonmuslim faiths. in malaysia, there are people you will find people who say no, you have to follow certain things that are more appropriate to islam. the majority of people there are not like that. you are always going to find some crazy people -- >> tucker: wait a second, every arab country, every single one, has separate rights for muslims and non-muslims and every single christian majority country, religious pluralism is the law. there's a massive difference in outlook, a lot of muslims seems to see islam not just as a religion but as a political system. >> cultural attitudes,
8:52 pm
if you read the koran, it says that you must tolerate, there is no compulsion in religion, the second chapter specifically says that and specifically enshrines the rights of other people for their religious practice, especially people of the book. >> tucker: you often hear people say sharia is intolerant, women are treated badly, gays are treated badly and then you say no, it's an early form of feminism and women are empowered.d. but if you look at it, in the quran, women have rights than men do. that seems incompatible with attitudes in the west right now. >> what were the attitudes in the west west wing that caranos first revealed? women didn't have any rights. in islam, women had specific rights, they have the right to own h property, to inherit property, the right to testifyty in courts. those rights didn't come into the west until the 20th century. >> tucker: but we are in the 21st century and things are different. in countries governed by sharia see things like female testimony
8:53 pm
being less valuable than male testimony. men and women are not treated equally under sharia right now.p why is that not a problem if we are trying to assimilate a lot of muslims into this country? >> are you saying it's a problem in those countries are a problem in the united states? i >> tucker: there's a massive effort on the left to import a lot of muslims but i think that is really important for people to assimilate to the values of the country which they are moving. i i'm worried that they won't because it's so different, their attitudes are so different from ours. >> no, not really. most of the people who have come here are different people, they are a very well educated group. manyup people came here for advanced studies. they came here to practice in various professions. under sharia law, the concept of inheritance, you can follow what the quran says about inheritance or you can follow what the constitution says. it's really a choice between tht individuals.
