tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News January 15, 2018 5:00pm-6:00pm PST
5:00 pm
everything took enormous courage. he said this. "courage is the power of the mind to overcome fear." that's a story for tonight. tucker carlson is up next. >> tucker: good evening. welcome to tucker carlson tonight. congress is trying to come to an agreement on daca, that is president obama's program that gave minors a free ticket to the united states. america's elites have recoiled in shock and horror and rage. how dare he say something like that? so from hollywood to silicon valley to msnbc, a new consensus
5:01 pm
has formed which the rest of us are required to believe. get a pen. it's this. every other country is great especially the poor and disorganized ones and the immigrants they send here are uniformly more impressive than you are, every one of them. they fight more wars, pay more taxes and start more companies than your kids ever will. so shut up with your doubts or inconvenient questions. otherwise, we'll fire you. so that's what our moral betters on cable news are telling us. the question is, do they really believe that? do they really think that all standards are arbitrary and racist and everyone from everywhere is the same level of awesome? for an answer, ignore what they say. take instead a close look at how they live. to our elites send their own children to colleges with universal admittance policies where everybody gets in? of course they don't. their kids go to harvard and stanford and yale. those are the most respected universities in the world precisely because they're the most selective ones.
5:02 pm
harvard's acceptance rate is above 5%. they brag about how many high school valedictorians they reject. how many admissions officers does harvard have that will admit poorly educated haitians that can't speak english? none. harvard is famous and admired because its selective. in other words, it discriminates on achievement and ability. if harvard chose its students the way america chose its immigrants, our elites wouldn't send their kids there. the cache would be gone along with the quality. the same goes for corporate america. does facebook hire by a diversity lottery? would google apply temporary protected status to its own work force? hiring and keeping thousands of people at no skills because they're from impoverished background? another dumb question. the people that run google and facebook care about their
5:03 pm
companies. the same way that people that run harvard care about their school. the one thing none of them care about is america which is why they're demanding standards for our country they would never apply to themselves. it is sickening and hypocritical and we've had enough of it. going forward, we're going to push this country's elites to live by the standards they espouse. if america must give citizenship to 11 million undocumented immigrants, harvard should given free tuition to undocumented students. if it's okay to use the public services in your city, why is it wrong to live in a dorm at princeton would being enrolled? jeff bezos says it's not right nor the immigrants. the truth is, a ruling class supports our current immigration policy because for them it's upside. they're not standing in line in crowded emergency rooms or sending their kids to chaotic
5:04 pm
public schools or competing for jobs for people that work less than they will. for them, open borders mean cheaper labor and bountiful household help. unlike you're, they say they're good people. they care. they're not bigots like the voters in kentucky and ohio. what a ruler's need is a strong dose of reality. a sense of what their policies mean for everybody else. so let's give them that. you can send your ideas to us on twitter. you can send your tweet to at tucker carlson. we're joint tonight by caesar vargas. he's an illegal immigrant and an attorney in new york. thanks for coming on. >> happy new year. >> tucker: happy new year. why not treat america like you really cared about it? policy makers tweet it with half the care that harvard treats its schools with and figure out which immigrants will be the most successful? it's not about race but the
5:05 pm
massive amount of data that we have when people get her and people that are more likely to succeed get preference and those that won't won't. what is wrong with that? >> the first point is that the united states is not a company. the united states is not a school. it's a nation. second point, we want to make sure that we scrutinize every person coming here into the country. we want to make sure that they don't have any terrorist backing or a violent record. but the united nations was created in the declaration of independence because the king restricted immigration. because the king of england said states, colonies, you can no longer bring people from other countries -- >> tucker: who told you -- >> this is not about -- >> tucker: this is not about king george. okay. that's a whole other show. let's just back up a little bit.
5:06 pm
you said the two standards we need to apply are people are not terrorists and they don't have a criminal record. would you apply those standards in your own life to anything? i'm going to hire this person, let them into my school, i'll marry this person. just as long as this person doesn't have a terror background or a criminal background. shouldn't we aim higher than that if we cared about the country? >> of course. we want standards. at the same time, what made this great nation is what we see in the statue of liberty. give me your poor, your huddled masses. your ancestors came when they were poor. many ancestors or the founding fathers came when they were poor. look at you now -- >> you're missing it. this is not -- we're not in the 18th century now. if you really care about the country, you think deeply about what is going to make it better and safer and more prosperous, happy, cozisive.
5:07 pm
you don't adopt a faith-based description and roll with that. you don't that. you say for example -- i'll throw a stat out. you tell me if it's relevant. the science talent search competition tries to identify kids that are good at science, which is a good measure. testing students in america. 14 of the top 40 have indian immigrant parents. so that would suggest, gee whiz, that and a lot of markers suggest the indians do well. what do encourage more indian immigration. why would that be bad? >> we want to make sure we attract the best, obviously but we want people that have a belief of what it means to be american. someone that believes that they come here work hard. that is what makes this nation great. it doesn't mean about people give me your scientists, give me your engineers. if you work hard, you can be an american. >> tucker: so how about we -- we can roll with that, too. we're not going to measure success or intelligence or anything like that. just hard work. so you wouldn't be against
5:08 pm
saying if you're here as an immigrant, you take no public benefit of any kind. you can't go to an emergency room for healthcare. you can't use emergency medicaid for your healthcare. you can't take any program at all, right? why would we bring people here and give them free stuff. would you be for that? >> i am for no taxation without representation. >> tucker: you're not for that. oh, okay. how about the hard work part? >> they should get protect, they should get health care if they pay for their own doctor or security -- >> tucker: would it be fair for the people who own this country, which is the voters, the citizens to say we're going to do a really simple cost benefit analysis on every immigrant. are you paying in more than you're taking out. if you're not, you have to leave. >> in 2016, undocumented immigrants -- >> tucker: don't give me genizatiogenera
5:09 pm
generalizatio generalizations. in each specific case, if you're an immigrant, prove that you're producing more than you're consume. would you be for a flying that standard? >> i'm for the american people, i'm for republicans, democrats coming together -- >> tucker: you're not for that standard. so -- >> we're working together for a solution. i want standards that work for everyone. >> tucker: how about standards that work for americans? it's no for everybody. america doesn't exist to help the populations of other countries. the government looks out for its own people. it's a democracy, as you know. why wouldn't the american people have a right to say we're only admitting people that can demonstrate that they make this country better? not in a general sense. but like a specific mathematical sense. what would be wrong with that? >> this nation is a great place because we have allowed the poor, the people that are hungry back -- your ancestors were peer. your -- >> tucker: you don't know anything about my ancestors. my point --
5:10 pm
>> we want the future -- for me, i want to make sure i'm here as an attorney representing veterans and military families. >> tucker: let's have a rationale conversation. you're capable of -- let me ask you a simple question. if more immigration makes the country richer, why does the state with the most immigration, which is california, keep getting poorer? it has more poverty than any state. one out of every five califor a californians is poor. what is the answer to that? >> i would say that california has a surplus of more than $10 billion into their state economy. why? because many factors. it's a welcoming state. california -- >> tucker: wait a second. wait. california has gotten -- hold on. california is poorer -- one in californians is poor. that wasn't the case when i grew up there. they have the most immigration. why is the opposite happening in
5:11 pm
california? it's a simple question. >> well, i think there's many factors. i don't think it has to do with immigration. it has to do with the fact that we have to manage budgets right. >> tucker: oh, they have nothing to do with the -- california is now poorer than mississippi. immigration, which is the main thing that separates california and mississippi. you have data on that or you don't want to admit it? >> we don't have data to blame immigrants -- >> tucker: we're giving them credit for success. here's the state with the most immigrants. why is it the poor estate? >> california has a surplus. the economy is doing well. why? because of tim grants. because i would say the immigrants -- california is doing great because of immigrants. many factors into play. at the end of the day -- >> tucker: it's doing so well it's the poor estate.
5:12 pm
how about this? why don't we get real? things are changing fast in this country and we care about our country. we want it to be the best. the point is to protect our people. i hope you'll give us a pass on trying to think that through in a rationale way. >> let's work together on this. >> tucker: thanks, caesar. >> thanks. >> tucker: andrew claven is from city journal. he wrote a piece in response to the president's immigration remarks. thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: i want to read the first line of this. nothing scandalizes a leftist like the truth. what does that mean? >> the left has been successful of making the statement of simple facts seem rude and evil and unkind. if you say men and women are different and have different desires and different career paths, if you say that african americans commit
5:13 pm
disproportionate about of violent crimes, if you say that muslims commit a disproportionate about of terrorism, they rear back and call you a bigot. they say you're racist or sexist or whatever until things that are factually true are unexpressable. you're not allowed to say this. i don't think conservatives fully appreciate the power of that mental slavery. we don't understand the way it wraps around your mind and keeps you of saying the things you're thinking. >> tucker: shouldn't all american citizens regardless of political party or philosophy demand to live by the standard that we live by, which is truth as a defense? shouldn't we stand by that? >> yes. usually you know, used to be the first amendment and the fact that americans just tend to be loud mouths and say whatever comes to their head, that used to protect us. the left has been exceptionally good at making sure -- we
5:14 pm
learned last week that twitter is shadow banning conservatives. we've seen how google fires a guy that states something politically incorrect. we've seen videos baned on you tube. and speakers at universities are met with violent resistance. the left is intent on silencing right-wing opinion. it's very powerful. you look over what is happening in europe where their immigration policy since the war has virtually destroyed their culture. people that come out there and say, well, maybe islam doesn't fit. they're destroyed. we saw in england at a conservative -- 1,400 girls were raped by pakistani muslims
5:15 pm
because the police didn't want to call them out because they were afraid of being called racist. one of the things i see when i look at donald trump -- i'm a polite guy and a guy that doesn't like to offend people. one of the things that i see that works for donald trump is his rudeness and his borishness have shattered this prism of political correctness that the lift has managed to construct. i think that is the reason that every word that comes out of his mouth and every tweet that he sends out is such a scandal. if you turn on cnn over the weekend after his remarks about haiti and african countries, every one of their anchor men were crying. it was so intolerable to them that donald trump was not restrained by their definition of what is cruel and their definition of what is impolite. this is a network where anderson cooper called ordinary right-wing americans, he called them tea baggers. now when haiti is insulted, his
5:16 pm
lip is trembling and his eyes are misty. it's a form of bullying. it's a form of social bullying. i'm grateful for donald trump when he shatters that. >> tucker: societies that hate themselves clams. i'm glad you're fighting against it. thanks a lot. a really great piece. >> a pleasure. >> tucker: and travelerless cars could be dominating the roads. what are the implications for american workers? the people that immigrate here and need those jobs. there's a connection between technology and immigration and we'll get to it next.

5:20 pm
>> tucker: the driverless car revolution could be here sooner than we think. a lot of revolutions could be here sooner than we think. general motors has requested permission to test drive its cruze av cars next year. that car has no steering wheels and pedals. it would be self driving. if that passes, it would send a shock wave throughout the country. more than five minute americans earn a living by driving trucks and taxis and delivery vehicles. a lot of the jobs are the last remaining ones without a college degree. instead of preparing for this coming wave of unemployment, the american elite want to import more drivers even as they make cars driverless. 4% of new york city cab drivers were porn in the country. 47 were immigrants.
5:21 pm
is it wise for this country to import workers for jobs that may go away very soon? it's a real question. austin ghouls by is here and joins us tonight. austin, i think it's -- that's a fair question and a real one. it's not just limited to driverless cars. so i'm sure you saw the mackenzie report that say by 2030, 73 million american jobs could disappear because of automation. so let's say that is -- hysterical by double. let's just say it's half that. it still raises questions about our immigration policy. we are we importing people for jobs that are disappear something. >> let me applaud you, tucker. you should be thinking about these big think issues and anybody that will criticize you for that is wrong. we should be thinking about that. >> tucker: no one seems to be but -- >> in my opinion, you're mixing up the timing a little bit. so the immigrants already came
5:22 pm
to the country and now they're filling the jobs that are there. nobody is saying let's develop driverless cars and let's import foreign drivers to drive cars that are not -- >> tucker: we import over a million -- we continue to import without any abatesment at all because the democratic party is demanding it, more than a million low wage workers every year. so what are they going to do when these jobs go away? it's a simple question. >> okay. the simple question for the last 100 years as jobs have been replaced, we've created jobs in new sectors. so as automated assembly lines got more and more roboticized, people moved into the service jobs. what we've seen in immigration historically is if we are in periods with low employment growth, not that many immigrants want to come here. >> tucker: but hold on. what you're leaving out as an
5:23 pm
economist, you would know this, earlier periods, the social safety net is a fraction of what it is today. you couldn't come here in 1913 and expect that your basic needs will be taken care of by the state. it's very different now. so -- >> absolutely not true. there is only ever been one automation or replacement of technology. that's been an ongoing process for 140 years. >> tucker: hold on. this is happening. even if people are coming here and not finding work, they will still live better than they did before. so why wouldn't they continue to come? it's very obvious -- i don't understand why that is not part of the calculation. >> tucker: we're not fighting about illegal immigration. i'm talking about -- >> tucker: i'm talking about legal immigration. >> i'm talking about legal immigration. and if you look at the immigration that comes to this country, if we do not allow
5:24 pm
immigration, the native-born population in the united states demographics look just like japan and china and western europe and we will not have money for social security or medicare. >> tucker: we won't. okay. so -- >> so we -- >> tucker: unfortunately we don't have time to impact this. i don't accepted that stipulation. let me ask you, this knowing what we do about the evolution of the american economy becoming more tech focused, we aren't we just importing people that have a higher likelihood of succeeding in that sector? we're not doing that. we're -- our immigration policy is based on lettuce picking. why would we do that in a high tech world? >> it's not only based -- >> tucker: it is, actually. >> it's a fair point to say should we have more skilled immigrants. the danger is you would block, say, doris salk that came here with no education. she had jonas salk that cure polio oh. >> tucker: spare me. let's get fact based here. i'm for immigration.
5:25 pm
lots of immigrants start companies as you know. here's a list of the immigrants that founded billion dollar startups. number 1 country, india. then canada. then the united kingdom. israel, germany, china, france, armenia. none of these countries are in the top five for immigrants in the united states. no one from haiti, el salvador. what is it? >> well, yes and no. you're singling out just mexico, central america. the president, as you know, singled out africa. it's completely not true. there are a large number of entrepreneurs coming here from africa, educated people. if you look at china and india, the republican party has explicitly tried to reduce the amount of immigration -- >> tucker: if that's true, why is google the most powerful
5:26 pm
company in the world by its own numbers, only employing 1% black employees? 1%. i don't understand. like either google is racist or -- >> black employees are native born. what are you saying? >> tucker: i don't -- you're saying that a lot of the immigrants from africa are going into high tech. then why isn't that reflected -- >> they've done well. >> tucker: then why are google's tech employees the most powerful tech company in the world, why are they 1% black? what is the answer? >> one is what are the share of immigrants, what are they doing. you're saying what share of google came from africa? that's what you're asking? we have very little immigration from africa. >> tucker: that's not true, actually. that's not true. we have an awful lot of immigration from africa. you maybe haven't been keeping current on this. i'm not against african immigrants. i'm saying why can't we be
5:27 pm
thoughtful in how we admit people -- >> as i started, i have no problem -- >> tucker: it's not happening because your party only cares about votes. >> tucker, i have no problem. let's have a rationale discussion about that. >> tucker: good. >> what the president has proposed as you know is limiting immigration of all forms. dramatically reducing the number of high-skilled visas -- >> tucker: you know who supports immigration? the republicans. thanks, austin. i appreciate it. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> as the me too movement claims more victims, more women are warning it's going too far. one of those women joins us next with her view. stay tuned. ♪

and we covered it, july first, twenty-fifteen. talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ >> tucker: the me too movement continues. it continues to bring down more and more people. as it does so, some are beginning to wonder and raise voices of dissent warning the innocent may be having their lives ruined. last week liam neeson warned that post weinstein backlash is morphing into a witch hunt. >> yes, there is a bit of a witch hunt happening. >> in what sense? >> there's some people, famous people, being suddenly accused of touching some girls knee or something and suddenly they've been dropped from their program
5:32 pm
or something. >> tucker: heather mcdonald is a fellow at the manhattan institute and another me too skeptic. thanks for coming on. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: where do you think this is going at this point? >> it's going to the disappearing of men. we'll see a wave of new genders on the assumption that if we do have proportional represent taken in science, computing, it's because of gender patriarchies and harassment, which is not the case. what we're seeing really, tucker, is sexual liberation having a nervous breakdown. in the before sexual liberation hit in the 1950s, you had a set of traditional norms that recognized this basic truth. men and women are different. it's not social construction. men and women have different biological drives. their lobidos are different.
5:33 pm
there's courtesy and chivalry. females had the power to say yes to sex but didn't have to negotiate with the male lobido at every instance of some drunken coupling. sexual revolution threw that out. now they're equal in desires, equal in responses to casual sex. it turns out that when you set the default at yes for premarital sex a lot of women have a hard time negotiating a no. instead of recognizing that we screwed up the default settings and our working against biology, women are blaming the patriarchy when the opposite is the case. >> tucker: whatever its effects have not made women happier. there's been a study on this.
5:34 pm
i wonder if you destroy men or complete the destruction of men, they're pretty close to being destroyed, how does it help women? what is the effect on women? >> i think you'll see a lot of regrets. why aren't men courting me. basically civilization has been created by people with very powerful egos. it's of no relevance whether they were male or females. i want people with drive to succeed. and if you have a rule that says that powerful men should be out of the picture, i think we are going to reach a civilizational stasis. >> tucker: this has profound consequences. i don't understand all of them but i can smell it. thanks for shedding light on that. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: an all-out war in silicon valley. facebook has been accused of
5:39 pm
>> tucker: the long simmer conflict between conservatives and silicon valley is leaching into an all-out war. last week, a plan was sued for being fired by google on diversity that was unremarkable by normal people standards. now chuck johnson has sued twitter after they banned his account. others threatening to do the same thing. new videos from project veratas says they videos were banned. mark steyn joins us to assess the wreckage of silicon valley. we learned that a lot of these companies suck up to the repressive authoritarian
5:40 pm
government of china and squelch speech for the same of money. >> china is the last big market to conquer. it doesn't really make a lot of difference in money terms. but down the road they see it as that. if you look at it in particular, the internet has in the last ten years, i love the internet and i prefer the internet ten, 15 years ago. the last decade, it's dwindled down to facebook and google who between them take 84% of the digital revenue on the enter planet excluding china. and that means that google and facebook account for over 30% of all revenue on the planet. so they're basically beyond market pressures and they have a highly idealogical politicized staff who as we saw in these
5:41 pm
leaks from twitter, basically are -- are glorying, revelling in the power they have to do down their idealogical foes. >> tucker: so i don't understand. simple question since i live in washington. you have two companies that are operating what is textbook monopoly to the detriment of consumers in this country. they're a threat to the u.s. government and more powerful than the u.s. government and u.s. congress which is charged overseeing this and prevents this from happening throws up their hands and says i don't see a violation here. i don't understand how they can sit impotently in the face of this threat. >> i thought senator lee was unimpressive on your show on this. very disappointing. in a sense we're in a potentially dangerous situation here. as you say, this is a de facto google facebook monopoly around
5:42 pm
the planet. if you look at, for example, the european union, angela merkel wants facebook be -- she's caught on tape with zuckerberg in effect asking zuckerberg to control and enforce the restriction of sort of right wing populous movements in germany. theresa may in britain looks on facebook and twitter in the same way. that she wants them to be her enforcers. and so i think the danger here is that in america and the european union and elsewhere, in a sense the natural political inclinations of facebook and google are incentivized by craven politicians. they're beyond commercial pressure now. only antitrust pressure in washington or in brussels could restrain this entity.
5:43 pm
but in a sense they have found a political sweet spot that incentivizes the left wing thought control they're engaging in. >> tucker: and yet republicans control almost all levels of power and doing nothing. maybe later in the week you can tell me what the point of voting for them in the first place was. i'd be interested to know. >> that may be a very long and depressing program. >> tucker: might be. thanks, mark. >> and a ratings bombs to boot. thanks, tucker. >> tucker: thank you. we've got new developments in the mystery of the mandalay bay shooting in las vegas. stranger than you would imagine. we have them. we'll be right back. get ready for centrum micro-workouts. the bottle curl. the twist n' turn. the stretch n' grab. the gummy squish. centrum micronutrients fuel your body from the inside out. grab a centrum and join in.

>> tucker: this is a fox news alert. a ton of new information coming out in the las vegas shooting investigation. a month long one. charlie mann joins us. we'll start with former secret service agent, dan bongino. dan, what have you learned? >> there's two big outstanding questions right now. the first is motive. why does a guy like this engage in the -- one of the largest mass murders in american history? although the motive is unclear, and i can't confirm anything, i think there's a high probability that looks like some form of radicalization. what that is always associated with islamic terror. that may not be it. could be a political motivation as well. one more point here. i don't think the target selection was random.
5:49 pm
the fact that it was a country music concert, the fact that it was las vegas. i don't think it was random. when this comes out in the wash, it may be a factor. the second point. was he alone? it's pretty obvious he was the lone gunman in this case based on the evidence that we have. but that's not what i'm asking. was he alone or did he have some kind of support structure in place? again, i think when a lot of this gets fleshed out and we see the reports start to become public, i have a really hard time believing that it's going to indicate that he was the only person involved in this. there has to have been some level of logistical support or operational support in this. >> tucker: one indication of that are the e-mail accounts that he -- that paddock maintained that we learned about a couple days ago from which he sent e-mails from one to the other. basically addressed to another person. that person is not named. but he was clearly writing to someone else. they weren't just notes to himself. what do you make of that? >> this is very bizarre, tucker
5:50 pm
and bizarre since day one. my understanding after deep research is that he was e-mailing himself, which adds to the whole mystery. the new developments is mary lou danley admitted to investigators that her parents will be on the ammo. she's in big trouble right now. this is in instant replay to the pulse nightclub tragedy where the significant other will be going to trial in orlando march 1. very interesting to see what happens with mary lou danley, the girlfriend of mr. paddock. >> tucker: so the questions, did federal or state authorities have any knowledge at all of paddock? had they had contact with him? were they aware of him before the shooting? do we know anything about that? >> not to my knowledge. no. the fbi has said that they now know that there was a lot of ammo in the residence of the shooter, which to me is not very revealing and not shocking news
5:51 pm
to anybody. >> tucker: no. especially not in this case. so do we have any -- i don't want you to speculate or get over your skis at all. we don't want to muddy it with things we don't know for certain. but do you have any understanding of why it's taking so long to get basic information out of this investigation and any indication as to why it seems to be conducted in this haphazard sloppy way? >> you know, i do. i always appreciate you wanting to stick to what we know. i think that helps. despite the fact that the government has been unnecessarily cryptic about this, which is fostered a bunch of conspiracy theories. tucker, think about it. just from plain speak, there's a serious economic and financial incentive for the potential secrets in this case to be kept quiet for a while and to keep it off the front pages until the news blows over. >> it's not obvious. it doesn't take a conspiracy
