it's beautiful. tweet me. have a great evening. tucker carlson is up next! >> tucker: good evening. welcome to tucker carlson. the story keeps getting bigger. the ongoing backlash against sexual misconduct by the powerful. tonight is consuming a sitting u.s. senator. model and radio show host leeann tweeden in an uso tour abroad, she was kissed and groped by comedian al franken who is now a fairly well known democratic senator representing the state of minnesota. trace gallagher has been on the story all day. he has the latest. >> the allegations comes from the radio and television personality that says the growing me2 movement is what gave her the couragement to

fight back. tweeden is accusing al franken in two separate incidents in the uso tour when franken was a cast member of "saturday night live," including one that happened in a rehearsal for a skit that tweed would consider sexual assault. here she is. >> he put his hand on the back of my head. he mashed his face against me. it happened so fast. he mashed his lips against my face. he stuck his tongue in my mouth so fast. i pushed him off with my hands and i said, if you ever do that to megan, i will not be so nice about it the second time. >> the second incident is this picture taken on a plane ride home from the tour where she claims al franken groped her while she slept. franken apologized saying that i respect women, i don't respect men that don't and that fact that my own actions have given

people a good reason to doubt that makes me feel ashamed. as for the photograph, franken says "i don't know what was in my head when i took that picture and it doesn't matter. there's no excuse. i look at it now and i feel disgusted with myself." democratic leaders saying sexual harassment is no tolerated. i hope this matter will be investigated. there's talk among democrats because of the picture is so damaging, that al franken might be forced to resign. tucker? >> tucker: trace gallagher from l.a. and so chadwick, i know al

franken a long time. i never thought of him as a sexual harasser. i have thought of him as not a nice person that -- this is an open secret in washington, that mistreats his staff, a screamer, takes credit for other people's work. he's horrible to those beneath him. all of that has been excused for many years because his politics are mainstream politics. he's a liberal. if you're the right politics, you get excused by the left. are you making that up? >> that is how it is. look at hollywood. look at everything happening now. al the allegations coming down. even just aside from basic hypocrisy. we have everyone on the left coming off roy moore, been coming after roy moore, you know, it's their own team, they don't know what to do. this is not merely hypocrisy. there's something more sinister on the left when they built a party platform, that tells

people like women, like gays, like blacks that you're victims and we're here to protect you. the other side hates you. what happens when people come out especially in the allegations now? sometimes the women are attacked by the left. joy behar called bill clinton's accusers tramps. so it becomes more sinister when you realize that they don't care about these people, about these groups that they purport to be standing up for. they only care about one thing. that one thing is power. >> tucker: yeah, accumulating power. i've noticed particularly in the case of al franken, he's the first one to stand up in a hearing and lecture people how he's better than they are. do you see a connection between outward expressions of self-righteousness and people's secret personal behavior?

am i imagining that, too? >> i agree with you. i heard someone say the other day as soon as you hear a man call himself a feminist, you can start the clock on the rape charges. it's true. the more -- you see it with race, right? i've noticed this my entire life. you see it with the sort of white liberal race people that are all day long talking about black lives matter but they're the first person to cross the street if a black man is walking towards them late at night. the first person to be rude to their brown skin nanny or what have you. it's so obvious. there's a sort of cover going here. when you see someone trying so hard to say they care for people, these groups of people. maybe you should look at that. >> tucker: it's true. i once asked al sharpton if he was a bigot. he said to me in a moment of candor. he said the only group i don't like, white liberals. they patronize me. i thought there's something to

this. i don't fully understand the syndrome here. but it's related. people that have thoughts they're ashamed of tend to attack other people of having those thoughts. >> i agree with you. that spans the gamut. >> tucker: yeah. i'd say senator franken is in that category. thanks. >> thank you. >> tucker: the accusations against senator franken overshadow what could be a bigger story. congress has known about sexual misconduct for years and has dolled out your money, taxpayer cash, to keep it quiet. a group called the office of compliance has handed out more than $15 million to settle 260 alleged cases of sexual harassment and other wrong doing by members of congress. jason chaffetz was head of this

committee and joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me on. a disgusting topic but i'm glad you're covering it. >> tucker: it is. i don't want to fall into assuming people are guilty or self-righteousness, which is a natural by product of discussing things like this. one thing we can all agree on is that congress shouldn't be using taxpayer money to settle cases like this and then kind of keep it from public view. why is this the arrangement up there? >> no, no, we need to maximize the transparency so people can see what is happening. if you're breaking the law but engaging in sexual harassment, why should the people of kansas or utah or florida have to reach in their pockets to pay off a settlement for something that you did? the member should be responsible or the that. >> tucker: that's exactly it. not everybody accused is guilty. we should always remember that.

>> right. >> tucker: on the other hand, if you're accused by a staff of mistreatment, it's between you and your staff member. the congress is not a company. shareholders are not on the hook. why don't the members pay the settlements? >> and look, you also have -- in large part, washington d.c., the congressional offices are run by a bunch of 20-year-olds. we have so many interns, people fresh out of college. would you want to send your son or daughter into an office where they had to settle a case for sexual harassment? these offices are pretty small in the house of representatives. you have six or seven people working in there. it's not a very big place in the individual office. so i think they need to maximize that transparency, which they can do if they choose to do. i believe in the principle of restitution. they should have to pay for it themselves if they broke it or committed something against the law. then they should give ex-pleasure to new employees coming in so they're not stepping into a bad situation.

>> tucker: so how has this been able to persist so long? we've had sexual assault scandals on the hill. they had to shut the page school down because members were being molested. so why is this -- why have members been able to dip into taxpayer money to settle these? >> i have no good excuse for it. i have to tell you, i haven't had a lot of visibility on it. we've had things happen -- the 8 1/2 years i was there, we had one member on the republican side shooting selfies with his shirt off. but the moment john boehner heard about that, he called him in. the guy resigned in a couple hours. we had another person, a democratic side of the aisle. remember they had tickle fights. tickle fights with their staff members. it went on for a couple weeks -- >> tucker: policy related or nonpolicy related tickle fights? >> it's disgusting. i can't explain it, tucker. i can't. >> tucker: congressman, thanks for that perspective.

i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> tucker: well, the feds just rounded up close to 200 ms-13 gang members in the united states illegally. so why are mayors of a bunch of cities still fighting against the immigration laws? we'll talk to them next. when you have a cold... stuff happens. shut down cold symptoms fast with maximum strength alka seltzer plus liquid gels. only have a sore throat? get long-lasting relief for up to 6 hours with new alka seltzer plus sore throat relief. the freestanding, cord-free vacuum that can live anywhere because it has two rechargeable batteries.

>> tucker: the administration announced another advance in its war against the gang ms13 inan operation called raging bill.

216 members were rounded up in the u.s. and el salvador. in this country, 198 members were foreigners. 193 were here illegally. 64 of the illegals arrived as unaccompanied minors which the law blocks the expedited removal of even when they're caught at the border that ought to be proof enough that illegal immigration is a problem in this country. but the federal government is still having a hard time getting local law enforcement to help them fight it. the department of justice sent letters warning them that they need to do more to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement or lose access to grants. kathy sheen is the mayor of albany, new york. one of 29 jurisdictionson, mayo. >> thank you. >> tucker: so if almost every single ms-13 member caught in this country is here illegally

and this is -- everyone would agree one of the most dangerous gangs in the country, the biggest threat to immigrant communities, isn't this all the proof that we need that our immigration policy has a direct effect on crime? >> it's great when you have federal law enforcement step in and assist localities and ensuring that federal immigration laws are enforced. so when you look at that as an example, you know, that's an example of where there was cooperation and public safety is paramount to every mayor across this city. that's what we're looking for in our municipalities. >> tucker: but a sanctuary city by definition offers sanctuary to people here illegally. you'll have more people there that are not allowed to be here and why doesn't that help groups like ms-13? >> yeah, it's because that term

"sanctuary city" means so many things to different people. i tell people all the time, this doesn't mean that we're hiding undocumented immigrants in the basements of city hall. it's interesting that when john kelly was heading homeland security and was asked by a police chief in san diego what the definitions of sanctuary city was, his response is who the hell knows. but what it means in the city of albany, we're going to do our job and we're going to expect the federal government to do their job. >> tucker: do you have the same policy for bank robbery and kidnapping? >> you know, this is -- we are not called upon to enforce federal immigration law. i'll give you an example. >> tucker: but hold on. do you have the same policy for other federal crimes? you would have no problem, i assume, assisting the feds in apprehending a bank robber. why is this different? >> simply being in this country

without documentation is not a crime. the u.s. supreme court has said that. so what we have to look at and -- >> tucker: it's not a crime? then why -- >> how do we keep our cities safe. i have a police chief who i believe is doing an outstanding job in policing in this city. one of the challenges that we have is that there is an underreporting of crime by immigrants that are here. documented or undocumented. we have a large -- >> tucker: can you back up a second? you said being here illegally is not illegal? how is that -- i'm not aware of that supreme court decision. how is that true? >> in arizona versus the united states, the supreme court said simply being here undocumented is not a crime. there's civil violations and criminal violations. >> tucker: it's not a crime. so why -- in other words, the u.s. government has no right to

deport people or to put them -- >> they absolutely -- >> if it's not a crime -- >> tucker: why are they not doing it? >> they have a civil liability, this is about keeping a city safe, upholding the contusion -- >> tucker: look, i'm trying to be respectful. you know you're not telling the truth. if someone is here illegally and working, he's using forged federal documents and that is a crime. okay? because the congress passed a series of laws after 9/11 because all 19 hijackers had fact documents that made a serious crime. so your city is 40% foreign born. probably a ton there illegally and used forged documents and you're not doing anything about it. you don't think that that is a threat to the safety of people in the other parts of the country? >> that's not local municipalities or law enforceme

enforcement. we have the tenth amendment. what is in the constitution that is the power of the federal government is the power of the federal government and everything else -- >> tucker: why not apply -- this is political. that's why it's hard to take a lecture from you about the contusion when you know this is political pressure that is making you ignore federal law on this subject but not on others, right? let's be honest. >> by this is why the provision in the brady handgun law that required local municipalities to do background checks was found to be unconstitutional. because the federal government cannot force municipalities, states or local governments to do things that they're not within their power. we're not uber ice here. we're here -- >> tucker: let me ask you a specific question. if the feds say look, we're trying to find someone that is a criminal alien and you have them in custody, will you hold them

another day until we get there? i believe under your policy, the answer would be no. >> well, we have always cooperated. our policy is to cooperate. we follow section 1373, that there's been a lot of talk about. we work with federal and state officials in law enforcement actions all the time. and so what we are talking about when we talk about sanctuary is that it's not our police officers' job to ask a person what their legal status is. >> tucker: but if the feds ask you to hold someone, would you? >> we're not going ask them to tell us whether or not or show us their papers. that's what this -- that's what our -- >> tucker: no, no. that's not what they're asking. they're saying if we believe a federal task force believes this is part of ms-13 can you hold them for us, you'd say no. >> we have to have a legitimate

reason. >> tucker: that's not a legitimate reason? breaking federal immigration law passed by congress? come on. >> the fourth amendment says you have to have probable cause. if the federal government provides probable cause, absolutely -- >> tucker: the probable cause is we know he's here in the country violating federal law and we hold them on the grounds and he's ms-13 would you do that. >> if a warrant is issued, we can hold people. we have to follow the constitution. that's all we're doing. the file thing, too, is this -- >> tucker: real quick. we're almost out of time. >> okay. we're a city that has a growing immigrant population. it's good for our economy. it is -- when we look at northeastern cities and an aging population, if we want to continue to have a vibrant economy, we have to be welcoming to everybody. >> tucker: as an economic -- there's no evidence to support that actually, this is -- >> actually --

>> tucker: i don't know as much as you and i don't think there's evidence that that is all economic upside. but we're going to have to agree to disagree, i guess. that's enough. mayor sheehan, thank you. the president made a president to -- made a promise to help the middle class. will the tax plan do that? more next.

>> tucker: in the past several months, you probably heard

politicians and business executives that congress needs to cut the corporate tax rate in order to make american companies globally competitive. it's not a crazy idea. our tax rates are among the highest in the world, even if relatively few companies pay full freight. so what is the truth about american competitiveness? during m.l.'s team at the head of g.e., the stock plunged 30%. lost $150 billion of its value. g.e.'s stock was the single worst performer on the dow during that period. here's the remarkable thing. when he retired, he received a severance package that could be worth $210 million. almost a quarter of a billion dollars. that's in addition to the salaries and bonuses that he received.

a he announced his retirement, jack brennan, the former ceo of vanguard, said that jeff immelt had positioned the company well for the future. if that sounds bizarre to you, you clearly haven't been paying attention to the way big american companies are run these days. consider the case of marissa mayor. a long-time google executive. she spent five years running yahoo. she became one of the most famous in america and one of the richest. how did yahoo do? their big model collapsed completely. the company shed half of its employees. they neglected their most basic duties to customers allowing privacy breaches that exposed personal data to hackers. in the face of this, mayor said for an endless series of media profiles, including a spread in "vogue." as her company was failing, she

through a wizard of oz themed photo shoot with executives that cost $70,000. all would agree her tenure was a disaster. yahoo was sold to verizon for less than $5 billion. a $95 billion discount from what it was once worth. somehow in return for presiding over yahoo's destruction, mayer collected did 239 million from the company. at an earlier age, this would be called looting. the media would have attacked marissa mayer as incompetent and greed. employees would have picketed her house. liberals celebrated marissa mayer as a feminist hero. she serves on the board of wal-mart. all is well for her.

remember this when somebody says that corporations need a bigger tax cut than you do. there's many reasons that american companies are not competitive. tax rates are one of them. mike kelly is a republican. he represents pennsylvania. thanks for coming on. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: i was talking to somebody in any neighborhood. a dentist. voted for trump. conservative. he said under this tax plan, i would get a tax increase as a dentist. and all these left-wing companies like apple and yahoo would get tax decreases. why would i support this? i thought it was a fair question. >> it is a fair question. i don't know the details on that with the dentist but i know this. everybody in america will get a tax advantage. they'll have actually pay lower taxes. i would like to talk to the dentist and see how he figured that. >> tucker: standard deductions. he's above the threshold. he's not a rich guy but he's a

bush the threshold where the taxes would increase. >> i don't understand that. all the data i looked at, that would not happen, again, i'm always interested to talk to people. what we did today, we had a giant first step when it comes to tax cuts and job creation. we go with the senate. the senate's language he be coming out soon. we'll go to conference and then the white house what is left to be done is left to be done. this bill only gets better. >> tucker: here's what i don't understand. if i'm a private equity guy, i can still pay half of the tax rate of someone who is working for a wage. the dentist, i talked to. that carried interest loop hole. why would we be rewarding finance in this? >> i don't see it quite that way in all the data that i've looked at. it doesn't match up with some of the things i'm hearing from what people are saying. having said that, people are going to continue to question. people are saying this is not matching up and it's not what i

thought it would be. we're saying the bill gets better as each day goes on. >> tucker: i'm for that. i'm for getting better. but here's the thing that made me nervous. reading -- maybe it's not true. the corporate rate cuts are permanent, but the rate cuts for individuals sunset after ten years. they're not permanent that suggests to me a weird priority. corporations are doing great. >> i don't think it sets the word priority. we'll see the final version. but we have noticed the erosion of corporate jobs and moving overseas. they're not moving overseas because they don't like america. they're moving because they're overtaxand overregulated. we're bringing the jobs back home and preventing jobs from leaving. you and i both know the key to success is a dynamic and robust economy. a economy that grows. a lot of what we look at today, we're denying the growth opportunity that will take place as we go forward. we have to look at that. >> tucker: why not say look, we'll give you a rate cut,

apple. but you have to invest the money here. there's no mechanism for making them do that. >> the mechanism is ifdown have a better environment to work, in you'll do it here. people didn't leave here because they don't like it. they left because it was an unfavorable taxing situation. guy back to this. if you're going to have an environment of growth, let's really have an environment of growth. i think some of the things being ignored is the growth that this tax policy will bring about. it's just following a path of success. that is the way we're having to go we're going to continue and i said this before, we're going to continue to make this bill better day after day. we're going to get the language from the senate. we're going to conference with the senate to come up with the final package. it will go to the president and hopefully by christmas we'll have that. again a dynamic and robust economy that lefts all boats. everybody's wages will rise and we'll hear the conversations -- >> tucker: i look at the stock market. the middle of the country is dying. i'm not convinced -- i want to

believe, but there doesn't seem to be a direct line between corporate profits -- >> a lot of folks i represent in pennsylvania. they'll get automatically a $2,000 less taxes, right? $2,300 more in wages. you put that together, that's dynamic. that will give people more take-home pay. with corporations, when we get corporations to stay here in the united states of america and stay because they want to be here as opposed to being forced offshore, we win. >> tucker: i'm for that i hope that works. >> it is going to happen. it will happen. >> tucker: thanks very much. activists have identify a new super weapon that requires more regulation. there's a twist. it's been around for 300 years. we'll tell you about the deadly device next. in the modern world, it pays to switch things up.

>> tucker: after sandy hook, the threat was ar 15s. after las vegas, it was gun stocks. and now there's a new danger to you and your family. yes, muzzleloaders.

just like the one at the battle of bunker hit. gabby giffords gun groups say this could be the next gun stop because they're largely unregulated. liberals conceded that muzz muzzleloaders were protected by the second amendment. >> liberals like to pretend that what matter is the authors had in mind. they think of themselves as mind readers of the founding fathers. this is what they had in mind when they wrote the second amendment. a single shot firearm that takes a bit of work to reload. >> tucker: so ronnie williams is from new york. possibly the next mayor. he joins us today. thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me.

>> tucker: so what is so amazing, typically when you have a lobby in washington on a subject, lobbying for agriculture, for example, they know a lot about farming. it's always the anti-gun lobby that literally know nothing about the product they're trying to ban. what could be the justification for banning muzzleloaders? >> unfortunately, if you had me on every time there was a mass shooting, might be every night. i'm glad to be here. what you left out is there's a company that is trying to jump through a loop hole like people do and create a muzzle that can be shot with a silencer that shoots 50 caliber bullets. they can do a lot of damage. let's say the d.c. sniper wanted to do that. what we're doing is trying to have a conversation before. every time we bring it up after a shooting, you say now is not

the time. >> tucker: so how many crimes do you think in the last 100 years have been committed with muzzleloaders? >> well, once this new muzzle is created, we don't know. you do a great job, it works for you. i'm not saying it should stop. you do a great job focusing on the single things? >> tucker: like the facts? >> avoidance of a conversation about guns. you do it well. >> tucker: to hear you have gabby gifford's group to say they want to regulate a gun that they know nothing about and you put it in the powder and the wadding and the round and the whole thing takes like a minute. so you know, it's not probably going to be responsible for a lot of mass shootings. >> a silencer and a 50 caliber bullet means that one person can die. we talk about preventative. you don't want to talk about

reaction ordinary. the biggest issue -- >> tucker: can i ask you a question? i know you're a gun expert. why would a silencer -- what does that have to do with it? >> if you were the d.c. sniper perhaps you want to shoot a gun so nobody can hear so you can get away. >> tucker: silencers or u.s. pressers don't make a gunshot inaudible. >> they do help -- >> tucker: no, they don't. i've shot them. a 50 caliber -- >> it's fine. let's say that i grant you that. the biggest -- >> tucker: no, no. >> i will. the biggest conversation is there's an avoidance of a conversation of how the overabundance of guns in the country is correlated to gun violence. >> tucker: i'm trying to have the conversation in specific terms rather than bumper sticker terms. so i'd like to bring it back to the tangible. here's a firearm that a gun control group is trying to

regulate. my question is why. they're the least threatening firearm you could pick out of the full range of firearms. that suggests to me the people making this recommendation literally know nothing and exposed themselves -- >> what they do know is that the united states makes up 4% of the population. almost half of the guns in the entire world. there's a correlation with countries that have access to guns and gun violence. what they know, you're no more likely to be robbed in america than in london but more likely to be killed because of the access to guns. >> tucker: no, it's a fairly complex question as to why that is. but let's get back to -- >> recent studies show when you adjust the population, the number one thing that tells you if a country has mass shootings is guns. >> tucker: i don't concede that point because it's silly. >> you don't have to.

it's true. >> tucker: no, it's speculative. >> it's not. >> tucker: what is speculative is that a gun control group that is responsible for no mass crimes or shootings and takes a full minute to take one shot. that says the goal is not safety. it's disarming the population. >> i'm trying to save lives. >> tucker: how many lives have been taken by muzzleloaders. we're trying to prevent that. you don't want to do that. >> tucker: i don't think there's any evidence that it's ever happened on ever will happen. >> so we shouldn't talk after it after or before someone jumps there a loop hole. when should we? >> tucker: describe what a mass shooting by a muzzleloader will looked like. >> and shoot -- >> tucker: by the way, if it -- >> the biggest thing, which is not speculative, you won't even acknowledge that a company that has 4% of the population and over half of the guns --

>> tucker: when you bring muskets into it -- to be fair, the council men we're talking to did not think up this crack pot idea. it was gabby giffords. councilman, thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> tucker: get ready for final exam. two contestants against the other. which one has paid attention to the news. you're about to find out.

>> tucker: time for final exam where you put two of the smartest people we know against one another to see who knows more than this week's news. we're joined tonight by two fox news guests. people you know well. a.b. stoddard from real clear politics. mark steyn is a columnist and sits in to host this show.

great to see you. neither one has been on the show. we have no prediction from who will win. not at all. may a fair fight commence. you know the rules. put your hands on the buzzers. the first to buzz in gets to answer the question. you have to wait until i finish asking the question in order to buds in. each correct answer is worth a point. best of five wins. the winner gets the coveted mouth breather mug. >> i want that so badly. >> tucker: america does. >> even though i'm already palm down, marc is trying to be at the ready. >> tucker: shannon breams got a full dinner -- >> tucker: she's two weeks in a row. >> she's got the creamer and sugar bowl. >> tucker: question 1. which billionaire bought a $80

million plot of land to build what he is calling a high tech smart city? tech billionaire, $80 million piece of property in arizona to build a tech city. >> i'm so excited that we're both pausing. >> tucker: mark steyn. >> jeff bezos. >> tucker: good guess. is that the correct answer? >> gates snapping up 25,000 acres. thousands of acres in arizona. huge. price tag, $80 million. 80,000 homes and plenty of room forestry, high speed data, centers and self-driving cars. ready for this, bill? >> tucker: bill gates a planned community. would you want to live there? >> i wouldn't want to list in my community planned by bill gates. it's like living in windows 97 the rest of your life. >> tucker: i agree.
