if not for the heroism and the bravery of the men and women on this stage. >> martha: an amazing moment today. that's the "the story," we'll see you back here tomorrow night at 7:00. tucker is up next. ♪ >> tucker: good meeting evenin. donna brazile exposed a secret. we heard from her last night on this show, but tonight, a campaign finance expert will tell us that that arrangement between the dnc and the hillary campaign may have violated federal law. details ahead. but first, this, in 1994, executives from the seven largest tobacco companies in america were summoned to congress to ask lane themselves. in their testimony, executives said that smoking cigarettes or is not addictive. they were lying. they've known all along about nicotine addiction, yet they continue to sell cigarettes.

it was too lucrative the stop. millions died as a result and eventually, a wave of lawsuit forced tobacco companies to admit they knew this and shell out hundreds of billions of dollars to victims and their lawyers. suppressing smoking became a national priority. america understood that hurting people in order to get rich was wrong. doing it on purpose is criminal. all of which raises serious questions tonight about silicon valley about what their products are doing to this country, particularly to children and how much tech executives know what potential harm is caused by what they're selling. already, psychiatric research has produced some ominous findings on this. social media use is connected to anxiety, depression, and social maladjustment particularly among adolescents. the more time kids spend online, the unhappier they are. data from the cdc shows that suicide rates for teen girls in america are at a 40 year high on their way up 14 boys as well. does technology play a role in

those deaths and for that matter, and a number of other serious pathologies that appear to be rising in america. sean parker seems to think so. parker is not a research scientist, he's even more of an authoritative on this subject, he was facebook's first president and he helped design that resonate. parker recently gave and interview and said he knew they were crating something harmful and addictive. speak out we need to give you a little dopamine hit every once in a while because someone liked or commented on a photo or a post or whatever. it's a social validation feedback loop. it is the kind of thing that a hacker, like myself, would come up with because your exploiting vulnerability in human psychology. i think the inventors, creators, it's me, it's mark, kevin sister

men on, all these people understood this consciously and we did it anyway. >> tucker: this is a bombshell. imagine if the makers of the painkiller oxycontin admitted they knew their product was likely to addict millions of americans to opiates, but "did it anyway." that's pretty much exec they would happen with oxycontin by the way, but so far the family has been wise enough not to say so in public. sean parker isn't quite so guarded. and his conversation with axial's, he describes facebook as a drug which it functionally is. when they design the product, they said they kept one question in mind, "how can we consume as much as overtime and conscious attention as possible?" parker acknowledges facebook has become an epidemic that is devastating this country.

"it literally changes her relationship with society and each other" he said god only knows what it's doing to our children's brains. let that sink in. imagine how you would feel if you knew you had entered the brains of millions of children. sean parker does not seem especially concerned by the spirit and fact in his interview with ex-seals, he brags about how rich it has made him. "because of a billionaire, i'm going to have better access to health care, parker said, i'm going to be like 160 and i'll be a part of this class of immortal overlords. you know the expression about compound interest, give us an extra hundred billion years and you'll know what what disparity looks like. plus sean parker and mark zuckeg have not been hauled before congress to account for themselves and what they've done. why is that exactly?

do you think it's because silicon valley used all of our money for politicians? who knows question rick may be there's a connection. we'll start asking members of congress about it. that's not the only newsworthy behavior from facebook this week, the company is also considering a bizarre plan to have users send them pictures of themselves. we are going to let trace gallagher handle the details on that. trace? >> studies show that 4% of internet users have become victim of revenge pron the reason so many angry partners post is because it hits close to home eating the pictures are accessible to family and friends. facebook is launching a pilot program beginning in australia to help victims fight back. here's the deal. if you've ever shared or sexual images with a partner and you're afraid someday they'll end up on the web, you could send those

same images to yourself on messenger and then facebook will go in and make a digital fingerprint of each picture and automatically block an attempt to upload that same image. but there's a catch and it's a big one. before facebook can block your pictures, they have to look at your pictures. turns out a crew of specially trained facebook employees view all the picks, decide if they qualify as revenge porn and then they at a digital fingerprint. they'll keep them on file for an under close amount of time before deleting them. facebook secured he says "we are aware that it carries risks, but it is a risk we are trying to balance against a series of real-world harms that occur every day when people, mostly women, can't stop nonconsensual intimate imagery from being posted." analysts point out that companies are just as vulnerable to being hacked as anybody else, which is why experts say the only safe nude photos are the

ones that are not taken. tucker? >> tucker: trace gallagher, thanks so much. send naked pictures of yourself to facebook, don't do that, by the way. >> think you, nice to be with you. >> tucker: there is mounting evidence, science has produced mounting evidence that some of the products and silicon valley produces hurt people, particularly children and there appears to be a direct connection between the time people spend using these products and the condition of their mental health. i'm wondering what silicon valley is doing about that. i'm confused. >> i think those are certainly valid concerns that some have raised in aspects of the community, but there's a whole other side of facebook and i think that's just one. you can make many of these same arguments with respect to

television, you can make them certainly with respect to music. we've heard this argument before in history. there's no question. the truth is, even a show like yours as captivating, interesting, it's designed to hold, it's designed to capture people and make them stick and it does and it does it well. >> tucker: my show on cable news has not totally reordered our society. >> liberals don't think so. >> tucker: it's not a liberal/conservative thing. here's the truth. when this technology came out 20 years ago and change the we live completely. it just seems irresponsible to me or perhaps i'm missing something. >> it's capitalism and i think the goal is in any kind of media and this is a media entity if you will, it's all about holding

people, it's all about capturing people, whether it's television, its movies, it's music, and i think they have figured it out, but in the brain -- >> tucker: i love how liberals are now defending unrestrained market capitalism because they're profiting, but how is that different than selling crack cocaine or heroin? the whole point is get people engaged. why do you care with the effect is on them? there's not really an answer, is it? >> i think it's certainly an adjusting debate. where do you draw the line because you can make the argument that almost anything that holds people and captures people that may have any effect that way could be negative. no one's advocating for drugs, there's no question about that. >> tucker: they are saying we knew this was addictive, we knew it hurt people, but we did it anyway. we created this class of child billionaires who apparently knew they were hurting the population when they greeted the product. i don't understand why there is

not a congressional hearing about this. if this was a drug, there would be. >> i understand, but what about movies, what about violent video games, where do you draw the line, tucker? i guess my point in all of this is when you have a platform like facebook or television or music, et cetera, you have to also balance it against the social good. when you consider facebook, that's allow democracy to thriv thrive. it took down regimes that were against america. >> tucker: i'm not saying it has no redeeming social value, i'm not arguing that. i'm just saying under the ad copy that you're repeating and propaganda, there's another side. it appears to have an effect on the mental health of kids and i don't see the people profiting from this, taking that seriously at all. if i own a casino, there's an upside to casinos, but i also want to put money aside to fund help for people who are hurt by my products, same with smokers.

why is silicon valley exempt just because they give money to politicians? >> i don't think silicon valley is exempt and i don't think anyone is suggesting that they are. there is no question that no one wants to hurt children, certainly myself, anyone. >> tucker: how much is mark zuckerberg spending to determine the effect of his product on children and to help the children whose product is hurting? >> the same argument is true of television and radio. >> tucker: i've been pretty good handle on what television does and i wouldn't offend any of it. the internet is a different experience and we don't actually know what the effects are. the point is, these guys don't care because they're greedy. you just had one of them saying, we are hurting people, but i'm a billionaire, i'm going to live to 160!

what? why is that okay? that's horrifying behavior, don't you think? >> i don't know what you're referencing in terms of a general sense. i don't think anyone would say it's okay. what we're trying to do is balance the totality of everything. for instance, with conservatives for instance, it's possible that without facebook, donald trump would have been elected president. the digital director of trump's campaign has much said the case. and conservatives also are using facebook to shore the mainstream media. >> tucker: facebook is probably great in burma, there's lots that i like, i think there's an upside to facebook. i'm just saying there appears to be a massive downside to the company itself that there ignoring. cigarettes kill you after a while. it's not that there's nothing good about it. there's clearly something really bad about it. >> i don't think there's an upside to cigarettes in my

opinion. i do see your point, absolutely. i also see the other side, i see the fact that there's been so much positive and we have to balance it. that's not to say that facebook should not be spending more to protect kids, to keep bullying away and frankly, i think they have done a nice job in that regard. >> tucker: bullying displaces the responsibility from themselves onto their consumers. there saying people are misusing our product, maybe the product itself hurts people. maybe they should sit in the hot seat and have congress ask them some real questions. >> imagine without a facebook. >> tucker: i grew up without facebook. i was pretty happy before facebook, i have to say. as far as i remember. >> you, yourself benefit from it. you use it every day. >> tucker: let's stop lying and get to the heart of it. thank you, dominic.

dumb academic tom, what do we know about the effect of social media and screen time on kids? >> i've got a litany of information on my book and anecdotally as a therapist, this is basically a light deal with nowadays. i would say i have probably twice as many schoolkids with anxiety disorders this year alone than in 17 years combined. i can type two social media, electronics and so forth. >> tucker: i'm 48, not that old, but i grew up in a time when none of us existed and it's very obvious to me that a lot of times changed. how do you draw the connection? why are you so certain its

digital media that's doing it? >> look at it like this, take the kids today, they have a front row tickets to every second of their peers lives. we didn't have that. you give a kid who is a preadolescent or adolescent and by nature, trying to figure out who he or she is, where they exist in the social pecking order and then you get this weapon of mass destruction of a smartphone and now they're getting feedback constantly, fueling their self-esteem, but it's actually not helping their self-esteem because last time i checked, the word self-esteem starts with self, not others. it's destroying our kids and their spending nine hours a day using this stuff. nine hours a day of anything, i don't care if it's exercise, it's not going to be good for you. >> tucker: that's a wise entry point. what do you think when you see one of the people who created this product, facebook, breaking both that he knew it hurt people, he knew it was addictive, but he doesn't care because now he's a billionaire and you're not?

but the leader of any other industry get away with that? >> i don't think so. it's funny because when i give these lectures, i liken it to the tobacco industry back in the day. what we are going to start seeing in the next three have been five years, major shifts going and our society as this stuff continues to reveal itsel. i've been lecturing about this since 2009, so sometimes i feel like i'm the only person out there talking to parents and giving them the information they need so they can save our kids. this is a stripping up from our relationships with our children as well because we have our heads down and anytime you catch the moment on our phone, we're missing the moment or the milestone. >> tucker: let me ask you a meta-question, every person watching knows what you're talking about because we are all living it. how is it that 320 million people can be having the exact same experience that's clearly bad and nobody says anything about it? why is this not the constant topic of conversation question work >> its social conformity. if you know what that is, we

tend to go like a flock of birds. if we see somebody has something, we think we need to do it but in the back of the mind, we know it's dangerous. that's why i wrote this book. >> tucker: tom, thank you very much. donna brazile exposed genuinely shady behavior at the democratic national committee, she also may have inadvertently exposed terminal behavior. we'll talk to a campaign finance expert who is investigating it. also, president trump is on a plane right now preparing to leave china for vietnam. we follow his trip across the continent of asia, stay tuned. with most airline credit cards, you only earn double miles when you buy stuff from that airline. is this where you typically shop? is this where anyone typically shops? it's time to switch to the capital one venture card.

>> i wanted democratic activists, those of the people i listen to, those of the people i respond to. i wanted them to know how hard we worked to elect hillary clinton and other democrats up and down the ticket. >> tucker: that was former dnc chair donna brazile. on this show last night, brazile's book exposed a lot on what seemingly is collusion between the democratic national committee and the hillary clinton for president campaign. while brazile condemns that arrangement, she also insists it was legal, all of it, and she is not so sure. she's an attorney and a campaign finance law expert. campaign finance law is notoriously complex and confusing, even to people who do this for a living.

you know this area well, tell us why this may violate the law. >> let's start with the fact that people on the democratic side mama they want all these restrictions and limits on what party's consent, what people can give, et cetera, et cetera. political parties are subject to strict limits on what they can give to their candidates essentially what the hillary clinton campaign did in august in 2015 was entered into a memorandum of understanding with the democratic national committee in which the hillary for president campaign essentially retained control for resources and limits at the dnc and those are supposed to be accounted for a dollar for

dollar to any candidate, but none of that happened. they did that as a contract saying that hillary clinton's campaign was entitled to all of the research, they could control all the hiring. they even moved to the account of the dnc from washington, where he had been for decades. i went back and looked and actually was the same bank account where donna brazile was the chair back in 2000. they moved the bank account to the same bank in new york where hillary clinton's bank account was in the treasurer of the joint fund-raising committee that was set up between the dnc and the hillary campaign was someone who was an employee of the hillary clinton campaign. it was controlled by the dnc and

the hillary campaign. >> tucker: have you ever seen anything like that before? be honest, is that unusual in the middle of a presidential campaign? >> it's not unusual for a presidential campaign to have a lot of say in what the national party committees do after the nominee is chosen. that's not unusual in that is customary. what's unusual about this is that in happened a year before hillary clinton was the nominee and i think poor old bernie sanders -- here is hillary clinton literally controlling every single operational aspect of the dnc starting in 2015. he really didn't have a chance because they controlled the hiring of the key communications director, they controlled everything. i have never seen that before. i've never seen anything like that before. >> tucker: staff that we know

now sought to undermine the burning campaign. back to the finance question, are using that because of this contractual relationship between the campaign in the dnc, the campaign was allowed to -- was able to exceed the caps on spending? >> they exceeded the caps on spending, the coordinated expenditures. i don't believe in these limits, let's be clear. >> tucker: i got it. >> it's the law and in 2002, the prohibitions were strengthened between candidates and their parties. there are limits and restrictions, none of those costs were assessed against the hillary clinton campaign and she controlled all of the expenditures, literally. >> tucker: what does that mean? if what you're saying is right, and i know for a fact you know what you're talking about, what are the consequences for this? >> let me just say this.

any expenditure, any campaign finance violation involving $25,000 or more if the activity was knowing and willful, and this was a chuck schumer amendment to campaign finance laws, that is a criminal violation and the department of justice has jurisdiction to investigate. i think the fcc should investigate in the department of justice should investigate. one of the things i think is important to note here is that all of these people who called for all these restrictions, they apparently had no intention of abiding by them. >> tucker: it we are out of time, cleta mitchell, thank you, that was very interesting. a group of illegal immigrants stormed on capitol hill today to demand illegal immigrant amnest amnesty. why does america seem intent on letting illegal immigrants go against the law?

that is a great question and will try to answer it next. when you have a cold stuff happens. shut down cold symptoms fast with maximum strength alka seltzer plus liquid gels.

our recent online sales success seems a little... strange?nk na. ever since we switched to fedex ground business has been great. they're affordable and fast... maybe "too affordable and fast." what if... "people" aren't buying these books online, but "they" are buying them to protect their secrets?!?! hi bill. if that is your real name. it's william actually. hmph! affordable, fast fedex ground.

>> tucker: a literal horde of illegal immigrants stormed capitol hill today. hundreds of legal immigrants and their supporters assembled in the hart senate office building chanting slogans in an effort to pressure congress to disallow the deportation of people here illegally. protesting inside the hart building is against the law and many were students cutting school and of course, an illegal immigrant participating in a

legal protest inside the u.s. is illegal on about eight different levels. only about 15 arrests were made and it does not seem like anyone will be deported over this or ever for any reason because we don't deport people in america. how a car is a radio host and he joins us tonight. how we, for people to show up and scream at elected american representatives and the nobody does anything about it, the law is toothless, no? >> i couldn't agree with you more. i thought george bush told us they were only building jobs that americans won't do. they seem to get the day off work. i was down in washington last week and they were having a demonstration across the street from the white house. again, during business hours on a weekday. they're always having demonstrations appear in boston and at the statehouse all the time.

jeb bush told us they're all valedictorians. they seem to be cutting a lot of classes and john mccain and lindsey graham are saying there in the shadows. they don't look to me like there in the shadows. >> tucker: it's interesting, you had 60,000 americans die last year of drug ods. this all started when a company pumped a bunch of poison into the country. none of the families of most people ever show up in congress to protest or say anything. there are a lot of people in america with legitimate grievances, why are we paying so much attention to people who aren't even allowed to be here in the first place? i'm totally confused. >> i don't get it either, tucker. you're right about these laws being enforced. there was a song and the apostrophes 60s, "i fought the law and the la won." i think bobby fuller was an american because the illegal aliens always seem to win. we had a case here in

massachusetts, the court system basically were going to make an illegal alien into a poster boy for defying the federal authorities, so they found this guy, he was a cambodian, he got cut loose on another technicality, but they said this young man, this illegal from cambodia can't be held for deportation by federal authorities, so they cut him loose. guess what? about a month after they cut him loose, this nice young man, illegal alien career criminal from cambodia, he is arrested again. he's charged with hitting an old lady with a wheelchair over the head and stealing $2,000 cash from her and when the cops grabbed him, he said i'm a junkie, i'm detoxing, i needed the money. this was six months after casey may have heard of before, they had a violent bank robber in

africa and he did to bank robberies in downtown boston. his public defender said if you throw the book at this guy, he's going to be deported so they gave him a wrist slap and he committed to bank robberies in nine months. he does the time, he ends up doing seven months, he gets out and he almost immediately splits the throats, murders to anesthesiologists in south boston. they happen to be legal immigrants themselves. >> tucker: what confuses me is i'm not arguing that only immigrants commit crimes, americans commit crime too. but when immigrants commit crime, we fall all over ourselves and make excuses. why is that? where does that come from? >> i think it's guilt, tucker. this goes back, this arose all the way back to the immigration of 1965 with ted kennedy and

somehow we had to -- i don't know, expunge our guilt. i don't feel any guilt. people are coming over here and they had more rights than american citizens. >> tucker: i don't understand, it's such a great country. what are the people who live here hate it so much? how we, thank you so much for coming on. >> thank you, tucker. sundry publicans released their own plan today. what's in it, is a good for you, is it good for the country? all that with a sitting senator next.

and the wolf huffed and puffed... like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. it can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard to get air in. so i talked to my doctor. she said... symbicort could help you breathe better, starting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement

>> tucker: that was g.o.p.'s tax reform plan cleared committee today, but then the senate g.o.p. released its own tax plan also today, that plan totally eliminates state and local tax deductions and

features more overall tax brackets. it is the plan better or worse than the house plan? does it change their priorities? will he become law questioning senator tom cotton is from arkansas. thanks for coming on. i think a lot of people are confused on what to believe it's a good thing, but are confused as to what the core point is. if you could name one, is it to increase number of jobs, is it to increase corporate products, what's the main point? >> main tax legislation is about putting more money in the pockets of american working families and our businesses. ultimately that creates more economic growth, more jobs, and especially higher wages for working class americans. the house and senate have different perspectives, we'll pass the bill hopefully and then resolve our differences. i think the bill will be better with whatever turns out on the particulars if we do one thing and that's repeal the individual mandate of obamacare.

that is the most hated part of obamacare and it would save $338 billion during the life of this tax bill, they could pay for a lot more tax cuts for our families and businesses in a physically responsible action. >> tucker: the corporate tax rate is really high relative to other countries, that's true, but the number of openings percentage that pay the full rate seems pretty small and fact, some companies get subsidies. how would that change? with the average corporation under your plan pay more or les less? >> what i would like to say c, e of our goals is to reduce the corporate tax rate from the highest in the industrialized world down to 20% which is also below the average of the industrialized world, but also illuminate a lot of the special interest reductions and loopholes they use to get down below the 35% rate today. i think most companies of all sizes will like that as well.

simply with them focus on the goods and services they provide to their customers as opposed to trying to gain the tax system. >> tucker: that suggests that you would see corporate tax revenues arise. >> you would see that because he was he more economic growth. this is the story of major tax legislation over the course of time. we know taxes impact our behavior, the decision to buy a home for instance or to invest in a green energy car under the obamacare stimulus, so we all know that behavior changes when you pass tax laws, so what we want to do is pass a tax while that's going to make more decisions, keep more of their own money. >> tucker: with their corporations affect taxes at all? >> i hope not. our goal is to simplify the corporate tax code in a way that allows businesses to focus on business, not on taxes. >> tucker: so you're going to get this line over the next

couple of weeks a lot, why are you raising my taxes, not for myself, why are you raising my taxes, but giving apple a rate cut? >> our goal is to look across the whole spectrum of american families and businesses and try to make sure that anywhere on that spectrum, they're getting tax relief, whether you're a big business, small business, whether you're a look young and single, or older and already have a family. there are a lot of particulars about this bill, but one easy way to do that and make sure that people in the working class are not paying higher taxes to repeal their obamacare mandate because it saves so much money and it is a self attack that by definition are working and working poor. >> tucker: will people be able to continue to deduct their medical expenses? >> the senate bill has a lot of -- >> tucker: if you're a republican, you don't want to penalize people for taking responsibility for themselves,

do you? >> there's a lot of traditions of the bill that i support that may be will be on the house bill by the time it crosses the house floor, for example, the medical deduction bill. that's why this is the first step. >> tucker: that's going to stay in, right? >> up my understanding is the house put that back in their bill today, maybe i'm wrong about that. i think in the final legislation, you'll see things like the adoption tax credit or at the medical deduction which are not big revenue raisers for the government, but are really vital to the family. >> tucker: senator, thank you. up next, "final exam" ," we corl a couple of fox news personalities to see how much they know about the news. we'll see you in a minute. ♪ (hard exhalation) honey? can we do this tomorrow?
