you can catch me every weekday at 2:00 on "the intelligence report" on the fox business network. have a terrific night. ♪ ♪ >> good evening, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," i am mark steyn, tucker is off celebrating boxing day, which is american. we hope you enjoyed a christmas rest from politics, but it has not taken long for things to get back in full swing this morning, motivated by his story he saw here on fox, president trump lashed out against the fbi over the infamous salacious trump dossier, the president tweeted "wow, dossie eight bogus, clinton funded dossier, fbi cannot after all this time verified claims in the dossier

of russian-trump collusion, fbi tainted." and they use this crooked hillary pile of garbage as the basis of going after the trump campaign. regional campaign director for barack obama's presidential campaign, robin, this cooked up in a couple of weeks, and the fbi have been investigating for a year and a half and have been unable to confirm anything except for that one guy called -- did get on the plane to russia at some point, otherwise after 18 months, all on cooperated, do you think that the fbi should take another two years, three years, four years, five? >> i sure hope not, mark, the taxpayers are funding the investigation. i want to remind that, but the fbi has a responsibility to go through all of -- anything that

is presented as evidence, leave no stone unturned, that includes a god dossier. so much is untrue, the veracity that they say should be questioned just like any law enforcement official they have to follow the lead and they have done their due diligence and it is turning out not to be true. that's why hillary clinton did not use it. that's why the republican candidate who initially funded the dossier did not use it and eventually sold it to hillary clinton. >> mark: you are saying that there is a bit of oppo research led the people who paid for it did not bother using, but has somehow justified an 18 month investigation into the sitting president. if we flip this around, say the g.o.p. had found some french spy instead of an am i six guy to come up with the salacious dossier saying that to the democratic candidate is up to's

shenanigans in eastern europe, would you be happy to have the fbi investigate obvious nonsense for 18 months? >> no, i would not, but like i said, they are doing their due diligence leaving no stone unturned, but i want to remind you that what led to this, the firing of director james comey unceremoniously. and there were multiple instances where they were trying to hack into voting systems in several states. so there were lots of things that trigger this. it was not just the dossier as donald trump himself tried to allude to this morning. >> mark: the russia investigation has been going on for longer, it predates the election, so why would the russians be trying to hack into a voting machine in iowa in june of 2016? >> mark, because i have an

agenda to fulfill, disrupting our way of democracy suits their agenda. make no mistake about it, a veteran army ranger, i know that russia is our adversary, they are not looking out for our best interests. >> mark: we have a situation where the only thing that any concrete that anyone has been able to find is that putin paid for 100 grams worth of facebook ads. i never knew, speaking of someone who is not even eligible to run, i did not know that you could steal an election for 100,000 in facebook ads when your candidate, mrs. clinton spent two-thirds of a billion, you spend two-thirds of a billion, but somebody buys 100 grand a facebook ads, and samples the election away, is that interfering? >> no, like i said, i think the real problem is when we found evidence that they tried to actually affect to the voting machines in those states, that is a serious problem, and i am

glad that the fbi is looking into it. we should all do that. we should all want the fbi to make sure that our way of democracy is protected and defended. they have an oath to defend and protect our constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. we have to make sure that donald trump is not an enemy of the state by colluding with russia. >> mark: taking your line that russia is a geopolitical strategic enemy of the united states, they managed to get the election stealing rackets, whatever it is, hacking into voting machines in new hampshire or florida, whatever up and running, we have been investigating this now for 18 months, why can't the fbi wrapped up an investigation into an election campaign and less than the two year period between elections? >> mark, we are not privy to that information just like we

were not privy to all of the information into bill clinton and watergate which ended up birthing the monica lewinsky scandal, we do not have all of that information. so it is impossible and preposterous for us to speculate on why it is taking this long. they are doing their jobs. they are public servants doing their jobs. and they are becoming -- they are under attack on the daily by donald trump who i think is doing a psi op campaign because he knows that there is more information, and he wants to plant a seed of doubt in the public. that is reprehensible. >> mark: well, robin, thank you for framing it as a sial up campaign, if you are targeted by the fbi i am not sure that you need psi ops and protesting that against it. if the of judicial watch, tom, robin was rather coy about that, but this totally worthless

dossier has had an incredible life, it is like a zombie, you h this thing that they cooked up for the democrats, it is running around like a mechanical hare across town. >> according to the reporting on the testimony of andrew mccabe, the number two at the fbi, they could not confirm anything, he refers to confirm away from carter page campaign adviser to the trump campaign, they have traveled to russia. other than that, there is nothing they have been able to confirm, but we have been able to confirm that the authors of the trump dossier were clinton campaign vendors, and they were working with the obama justice department and the obama fbi and the fbi of the obama administration was the leadership there was vehemently

anti-trump as has now been evidenced, and they laundered this campaign document into the justice department and it may have been used to spy on the trump campaign. it still may be being used by robert mueller. so the dossier is still being used by mueller is a real ethical concern, because of where it came from. >> mark: no, i agree with you on that tarp, it is a little bit to like in hollywood, alfred hitchcock used to call it to the macguffin, used as their pretext to set the game afoot. in other words, it had no value, it is all pro research to hillary clinton, but it had value to the government, the outgoing government and getting them into a position where they could survey all their political opponents. that is the conspiracy theory. >> it gets even worse for

mrs. clinton, she used her law firm, her campaign's law form as a cut out to spend on the gps dossier effort who went, supposedly to talk to intelligence people and -- you had the clinton campaign sending people to russia to find out information on donald trump, and he is the one under investigation on collusion, and this is a political investigation, it was designed by never traversed, anti-trump verse, james comey obviously did not like president trump and leaked information to get the appointment of robert mueller, and gone downhill from there, we found out that the top fbi agent in terms of counterintelligencea never trump, and the number number two on his team attended the election night party and was sending friendly s

to sally yates as she swore against the justice department. >> mark: that is actually incredible, tom, thank you for that, it is the revenge of jim comey, and the former fbi official says that the director's behavior has sabotaged the credibility of the mueller investigation, that fbi official joins us next on "tucker carlson tonight." ♪

♪ >> mark: special counsel robert mueller has dominated

dozens of new cycles with his investigation into alleged russian meddling in u.s. politics, but that is not the only doj investigation going on, michael horwitz has spent a year investigating how jim comey and the fbi handled their investigation into hillary clinton's email server. michael horwitz is the one that found peter strzok's text messages to his paramore bashing donald trump. chris recker is a former assistant director at the fbi, he says jim comey's conduct last year has become a trap for mueller's own investigation. chris, i guess to use the president's words, whether or not the fbi is tainted, mueller's investigation has been tainted by the revelations about these never-trumpers in the

previous investigation. >> director mueller is living with some of the bad decisions of former director james comey who is in the position for four years, director mueller was givn special counsel. what is happening with strzok and his paramore is not helpful to the investigation wherever the investigation is going. with 38 years of experience around criminal investigations, i can tell you that a good defense attorney can make something out of this alleged bias. >> mark: that is critical if any of this stuff ever winds up before a jury. you laid the blame on james comey, his behavior since being removed from the borough, and indeed, during the last couple of years before that seems like a man temperamentally unsuited r the job that he held. is that a fair estimation? >> frankly i was surprised at

his judgment and behavior, he had a good reputation. the agents liked him, he was very personable. i've dealt with him in my capacity, but the judgment that he displayed in the rules that he broke when he made a prosecuted decision as the fbi director and then announced in great detail to the american public, instead of handing the investigation off to loretta lynch who if he thought it was conflicted could recuse herself and pass it down one notch was monumental bad judgment. i think a series of cascading events, that is what has drawn the fbi into politics. >> mark: let me ask you about that, because of the crime winds up in the county courthouse, a policeman investigates it and the county attorney decides whether to prosecute it. in this case, the policeman and the county attorney were the same person, jim comey. is that unusual in the bureau's

history? >> very unusual. if you look at the justice department procedures in the fbi procedures in the code of federal regulations, there is a separation between investigations and prosecutions. the fbi will predicate in investigation with facts, they will open it up and conduct the investigation. they will consult with the u.s. attorney, but the final prosecuted decisions are always made by the u.s. attorney or somebody in the main justice department. that's the way it works. >> mark: let me ask you this, because as i understand that there are 35,000 employees at the fbi, yet the same handful of people investigating one presidential candidate, hillary clinton, then seemed to transfer seamlessly to investigate the other presidential candidate, donald trump. do you think that that is best practice as it was? >> no, i don't, former director james comey thought that that was the a-team, so we had them

transition to the russian investigation after what i thought was a very half-hearted noninvestigation of hillary clinton's emails. so that investigation runs out supposedly and then it seems like a good percentage of that team was assigned to the russian investigation with all of the baggage that they brought with them. >> mark: you almost think of it as one reputation, where investigation, get hillary off the hook and if that does not work, get trump onto it. chris, thank you very much. interesting to hear from a former number three g-man during these recent years. the united nations college eighth avenue to lump of coal in its christmas stocking this year, courtesy of the trump administration. u.n. ambassador nikki haley has announced a $285 million cut to the u.n.'s a budget for 2018. the u.s. pays 22% of the u.n.'s overall operating costs.

dr. alan mendoza, executive director of the henry jackson society, british think tank, dr. mendoza, how are these cuts to america's u.n. playing in london and elsewhere in europe? >> not well, playing about as well as the american decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. this is not the most popular policy in europe. but i think that the americans have done the right thing here. you are looking after your own financial responsibilities and making it clear that it will not be business as usual at the u.n., things have to change. >> mark: to go back to the jerusalem quote that you just mentioned, isn't that part of te problem with the u.n.? that it is a very lavish body for striking attitudes, and that does not matter whether it is the organization for islamic corporation or the union.

are they all swarm into the general assembly and strike an attitude on israel and then stick u.s. tax taxpayers with the tab on it. >> i think that the general assembly is a waste of space. if you look at what you see coming to see that democracy is outnumbered by nondemocracies, which i think the goal of the u.n. when it was set up, and as you say, you have every hobbyhorse being flogged, and the results are that frequently democracies do not get their way in terms of what you might think would be sensible international policy, you do get crazy things passed through. fortunately, of course, it has no source of standing failure. then you have a question, as you suggest, what is the point of the organization or a body that has no influence on things and gets hijacked? >> mark: meanwhile, back in the real world, the islamic state has lost 98% of its territory, and yet, that has

barely made the papers, because nobody wants to give donald trump the credit for it. >> well, i think that this is the big story of 2017, it has been the defeat of the so-called everlasting caliphate, anti-donald trump and the american military must take a lot of responsibility and praise, it does not come across as terms of public understanding, but we will feel the impact of this going forward in the tariffs packs going forward, and other such matters, so i think that the world does owe a great debt to donald trump and those who have prosecuted the war to its ultimate end point. >> mark: what is your solution to the u.n.? because it is basically the world war ii victory parade? it is america, britain, france, plus china. if you want to reform anything, various of those parties object, is it something that should be a

left to die, every 200 million by 200 million cuts, or can it be reformed? >> well, i think that you have hit upon something there, the way to reform is not to get consensus, because it is impossible. which power failed, will give up their veto power and look at that. which group will want to sub come to less influence? i cannot work that way, but the way has been shown in the budget cut, you bring the policy to reform, we do not think that this works. you are not finding it anymore. if you do not fund it, it will not go forward in that way anymore. the powers they are, do we have the confidence to use it? >> mark: they like their money, dr. mendoza, the u.n. diplomat, california governor jerry brown, good news for the immigrants of his state. you can commit a felony, and he will still try to keep you from being deported. we will debate that story next on "tucker carlson tonight." ♪

>> mark: governor jerry brown has a message for his constituents, noncitizens do not just have rights in the u.s., they may have more rights than you do. just before christmas, brown part in two immigrants scheduled to be deported for committing felonies here in the u.s. one of the two was a gang member

convicted of a illegal weapons charge. brown's hope is that the pardons will allow both immigrants to stay in america. evidently he believes that they will greatly strengthen america. was a madonna is an and immigration advocate, he joins us, jose, this is a strategy by guys like you to use pardons to do an end run around the deportation process, correct? >> well, mark, there is a little bit of confusion, weeping be looking at two different versions of the constitution, minus the tenth amendment in it. and under the tenth amendment, governors are expected to look at their state including part in. they went through an incredibly rigorous process to be eligible for the use pardons including ten years of being crime free, obtaining a certificate of rehabilitation and paying their debt to society. >> mark: wait a minute before we get to that, because in 20 years from 1991, arnold

schwarzenegger, gray davis, and pete wilson part in a grand total of 15 criminals, 15 pardons, that is three quarters of a pardon per year, and six years governor brown has done i think it is around 1500 pardons, so clearly the nature of a presidential pardon in the tenth amendment and the power of the pardon is changing. and to go back to my question, that is because you guys have figured that the immigration lobby, the illegal lobby has figured this is a great way to do an end run around the national government's power to deport. >> it is a great way to help individuals who have been here for 30, 40, 50 years who immigrated to the united states legally as both of these individuals did who have deep legal connections in u.s. citizen families to essentially present their case in front of an immigration judge. these pardons do not guarantee their ability to stay in the

country. now, mark, you are canadian, you had a green card. if this had to happen to you, i would be fighting for your opportunity to fight and show that you are a contributing member to this country. which you are. you are doing the jobs that americans do not want to do like hosting the show for tucker. >> and i will take you up on that, because some have tried to deport my little daughter. there is no sentimentality about illegal immigration in some respects. you know as well as i do that when the citizen commits a crime, you are stuck with the citizen, when a noncitizen commits a crime, he is at the risk of deportation. so why is the immigration lobby so eager to not even deport criminals? if you want to change people's mind on deportation, 100 show a willingness to deport gang members with the kind of

conviction that one of these pardon recipients has? >> generally this administration is not prioritizing gang members and criminal aliens, most of the people that it is going after our little girls with cerebral palsy in texas, dreamers too close to the border, women seeking protective orders and court houses, when you say that we are arguing for the deportation of criminals and other individuals, that is not what the administration is doing. it is waving gang affiliation as a magic wand to try to turn america against the broader immigrant population. i'm sure that you would agree that we should not demonize all immigrants. >> mark: we can demonize gang members! there are a community communities away from the mexican border that have been hauled out by ms-13 for example, communities that were peaceful, boring, picket fence suburbs where they are now having ritual initiation murders committed by ms-13 members, why should this

gang member given a pardon? and more to the point, how does the american gang member in the cell next door when he sees governors prioritizing -- over the native born immigrant class? >> in this case governor brown pardoned a wide list of u.s. citizens. as long as you meet the criteria, you can apply. in our country has been committed to the process of rehabilitation and paying your debt to society, which both of these individuals have done, by asking to be deported, these individuals are essentially being double punished. >> mark: a world war ii veteran from the united kingdom whose wife got sick and died in hospital, and he is in america and he stayed with her to die in america to watch her die in america, he was kicked out and banned from entering the country for ten years for no crime other

than staying with his sick wife. more people are worried about is there is a bifurcation between o cosseting of the professional criminal class and the ruthlessness that you describe with cerebral palsy victims. >> they have also deported mexican veterans, i would like them to return. i would like the specific case that you mention to return. if you want to be mad about pardon, be mad about the -- for a meat-packer who transfer for undocumented immigrants including children. we are saying, we are fine with pardons for people exploiting immigrants but not for the immigrants themselves? come on. >> mark: that is not where this stops, hosea, as you know there is a strategy behind this. and that has the contribution of many governors and the immigration lobby. thank you for coming on the show. last week tucker reported on the biggest story of the year. the biggest story.

liberals have run out of racists statues to take down, so they have now moved on to racist trees. in the california desert, the city of palm springs wants to chop down a grove of the 60-year-old humorist to use delete entries that stand between a golf crop and a black residential neighborhood. if you are thinking, aren't liberals supposed to be tree huggers, well, yes unless you are planting a racist tree. the city believes that these trees were planted with racist intent. others say that it was to prevent people chipping that golf ball straight through your window. but that is always the cover for racism, isn't it? >> people don't go out and say that we are doing this for racist reasons, they say, we are going to do landscaping, we are going to landscape you right out of existence. and oh, by the way, these trees will protect you from golf balls. >> mark: just like race, golf balls flying through your kitchen window is a social

construct. i do not worry about it. that's humorist is now the robert e. lee of trees. it is robert e tree. and liberals suddenly have no desire to hug that tree than they do charlie rose or matt lauer. at the tam arrest is not just racist, it is nasty. >> the african-american, the black families who properties are adjacent to those trees, if you had done any research on the tree, you know that that is one of the nastiest trees around and also been declared an environmental disaster by the federal government. >> what? wait a minute, slow down, now hold on, because that tree is a foreign tree, you are calling it tenacity? >> mark: so to invert barbara walters, if this tree were a celebrity, what celebrity would it be? >> i am a nasty woman! >> mark: the -- is nasty and

foreign. as we just heard, in california everything is born, and illegal immigrant can get a driver's license, free health care, and an unlawful immigrant can practice law in california. the one thing you cannot do is stand on the edge of a golf course covered in foliage. on that, everyone is a nativist. >> okay, so are you a nativist now? >> when it comes to vegetation, absolutely. you can lift the trees and have a problem of them tipping over in the storm. >> mark: liberals are in favor of open borders for people, but not for trees. they are found all over the muslim world, but this is one muslim ban they are willing to support. when you come to america, you can bring your problems, your head jabs, your sharia law, but you better leave here tamarisk not in timorous stick stand. you can have your choice of female head cover, but not tree

cover. because just like some excitable young men of an extremist persuasion, it is prone to self combust. >> the trees themselves have been explosive during these fires that have been happening, so not only do we have the aspect of the traditional origin of the tradition being to separate the black and people of color around the street, after their homes were ruined by the city of palm springs under racist considerations. >> mark: just like a klansman, the tamarisk stands under law and since everything alive. as the christmas carol says, oh tamarisk, oh tamarisk, how racist are those branches. what can we replace the tamarisk with? a you go a's steps. >> we mention eucalyptus, so your guests tonight is saying no eucalyptus. >> mark: >> mark: democrats a yr

ago, more trees, less bush, more trees, less open space to keep an eye on harvey weinstein and kevin space b. you think that liberals have flown the coop, they are literally out of their tree. but what if they are right, what if this really is the root cause? what if trees are racist? here are the three most forested states in the union. and here are the widest states in the union. coincidence? americans are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to attend college, is it worth it? tucker will be back after the break to talk to a professor who says spending -- sending everyone to college is a huge mistake. years ago

>> i think of myself as a whistle-blower, i am somebody who takes it seriously, you have to be a professor, you had to be somebody who has done a lot of research with any credibility. >> we know that people that go to college have faster degrees, making more than those that don't, isn't at the end of the argument? >> not at all, so just two years we have been talking about it, but the main thing that i pushes realizing that just because an individual is making more money does not mean that it is a good investment for society, the heart of my story is something called essay gleaning model of education, and it just says, a lot of the reason why education pays is not because of job skills, you're showing off, jumping through hoops, you are impressing employers, but of course if everybody pushes through the hoops, you have to jump through more hoops than everybody else, otherwise the whole process is a waste. >> exactly, the cost of really high, not just to the individual about society and a whole generation of young people, how do those match up against the benefits? >> again, for the individual, what i say is if you are a

strong student, then college is a good deal for you. especially if you do one of the higher earning majors, on the other hand, if you are a weaker student and then somebody who gets building and struggles to get through high school, college will be a waste of money for you personally, but i always try to turn it around to not thg about the individual, but throuh society, should we be encouraging people to go if they are acquiring a lot of useful skills in school, than it is an investment in the capital, if the other hand you are jumping through hoops and showing off, it is really a socially wistful process to a large degree. that is what i say is that it is extremely wasteful for society. >> a lot of people are picking up addictions of mental illness. >> sure, you can do that other places, but in a way you might say that there is an addiction to getting more education, which is fairly rampant. >> what percentage would you, and speculative, but of any society, or ours are to be going to college? >> 5%. >> 5%, that would make you an

elitist in a bad person because you are writing off the other 995%? right? >> you would say than an elitist, you might think that you would have to be an elitist to think that you are not a good person if you do not go to college. >> good point. >> college is the kind of thing that people go through and punch a clock and get a degree in something or other, do not see that it really improves them as a human being, it is a big burden on society and also a burden on the individual that doing and to feel like i thought i do not accomplish this, my life is a waste of time, and others, i am a big fan of education, the kind site using in germany, switzerland, it is just very notable how little of an under caste they have there and the u.s. would say, i hate school, i am sick of being here, maybe i will go out and drop out and be a criminal, gord get trained to be an auto mechanic or a plumber, and you can learn independence, skills,

you get a pure group while being a skilled craftsman instead of being a peer group of criminals and dropouts. >> that seems like an obvious point, we have models in other countries that work quite well, do you think the effect of tens, hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying by higher education lobbies has obscured that truth? >> mainly, i think the problem is the american people, as you said, people love the idea of education, if you look at the survey evidence, the share of americans that love cutting education is almost minuscule. that is really the main thing that i am pushing is spending less on education, saving money on something that does not deliver the goods especially from a social point of view. thinking about that and raising spending spending. >> do you have tenure? >> overcoming a. >> that is why, you bet your bosses are not impressed. >> mark: tucker and brian kaplan, lot of sense, you cannot

believe, as a journalist i did research into this. i thought, is there actually this happening? nine out of every ten americans in the united states celebrate christmas, maybe there is not a war happening, but what is happening in the bipartisan research organization coming out with a study yesterday saying that only 46% of the people who actually celebrates christmas view it as a religious holiday, which is down from the percent in 2013, so there is a changing of the ties, i don't want to say a war on christmas, but a change of the ties that people in america society are becoming less religious. >> mark: none of that justifies this comparison of trump and adele nazis. so start, they basically secular lysed christmas, turn it into a pagan nature worship. so if anybody is comparable to
