tv   Tucker Carlson Tonight  FOX News  January 15, 2018 9:00pm-10:00pm PST

9:00 pm
he tweeted this... most-watched, most trusted, and most grateful you spent the evening with us. good night from washington. i am shannon bream. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." congress is still trying to come to an agreement on daca, president obama's program that gives for apartments to illegal immigrants who arrived here as minors. the tone of the debate over this has changed quite a bit in the last few days, things holy to president trump's now famous comment suggesting that some countries are not as appealing as other countries, and may in fact not produce equally desirable immigrants. 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 has formed, which of course the rest of us are now
9:01 pm
required to believe. get a pen. it's this: every other country is great, especially the poor and disorganized ones, and the immigrants both countries extend here are uniformly more impressive than you are, every . they fight more wars, they pay more taxes, they start more companies than your kids are very well. so shut up with your doubts or inconvenient questions, otherwise we will fire you. that is what our moral bettors on cable news are telling us vehemently. the question is, do they really believe it? do they really think that all standards are arbitrary and racist and that everyone from everywhere is exactly the same level of awesome? for an answer, ignore what they say, take instead a close look at how they live. to our elites and their own children to colleges with universal admittance policies, where everyone gets it? of course they don't play their kids go to harvard, stanford, yale, the most respected universities in the world preciy becausey they are the most elective ones.
9:02 pm
harvard's acceptance rate is just a hair above 5%. they brag about how many high school valedictorians they reject. now harvard has countless professors who support open borders and fret about white privilege, yet, how many admissions officers do they hava who will admit poorly educated haitians who can't speak english? let's see, none. not a single one. harvard is famous and admired because it is selective, and otherca words, because it discriminates on the basis of achievement and ability. if harvard chose its students the way america chooses as immigrants, our elites wouldn't send their kids there. the cachet would be gone, along with the quality. the seam of course goes for corporate america. does facebook hire hire by a diversity lottery? come on. would google apply temporary protected status to its own workforce, hiring and keeping thousands of people with no relevant skills, simplyop becaue they are from impoverished backgrounds? another dumb question. the people who run google and
9:03 pm
facebook care about their companies, and the same way the people who run harvard care about their school. the one thing none of them care about is america, which is why they are demanding standards for our country they would never apply to themselves. it is sickening and hypocritical and we've had enough of that. going forward, we will push this country's elites tote live by te standards they espouse. if america must give citizenship to 11 million undocumented immigrants come harvard off to get free tuition to 1100 undocumented students. if it's okay to sneak into youri city illegally, and use the public services, why is it wrong to live in a dorm at princeton without being enrolled? jeff bezos thinks it's immoral to send dreamers back to their own countries. okay. why shouldn't he give a few thousand of them high-paying corporate jobs at amazon? of course, he should immediatel immediately. the truth is, a ruling class supports our current immigration policy because for them, it's all upside. they are not standing in line and crowded emergency rooms, sending their kids to chaotic public schools, competing for
9:04 pm
jobs with people who will work for less than a well. for f them, open borders mean cheaper labor and bountiful household help and above all, the sense that unlike you, they are good people, they care, they are not bigots like the voters in kentucky and ohio. what our rulers need is a strong dose of reality, a sense of what their policies mean for everybody else. let's give them that. you can send your ideas to us on twitter. you could do that by sending your tweet to me, we are interested in what you think. in the meantime, we are joined by cesar vargas, both an illegal immigrant and attorney in new york. mr. vargas, thank you for coming on. >> tucker, happy new year. >> tucker: happy new year. it's a pretty simple calculation. why not treat america like you really cared about it? the policymakers treated with my behalf the t care that harvard treats its school with and say e immigrants will be the most successful -- not about race -- but it is about the massive amount of data we have on how
9:05 pm
people do once they get here and people who are more likely to succeed will get preference and those who are less likely to succeed divulge. what's wrong with that? >> took a very important points. the first is that the united states is not a company, it's 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 background, we want to make sure they don't have a violent criminal record. no one disputes that. let's get to this point, very important, the united nations ws created mainly in the declaration of independence because the king's restricted immigration, because the king of england said states, colonies, you can no longer bring people from other countries. what happened? american revolution, a beautiful idea of this nation came about. >> tucker: [laughs] the american revolution was spurred -- okay. [laughs]
9:06 pm
okay. let's back up a little bit. you said that the two standards we need to apply our people aren't terrorists and they don't have a criminal record. would you apply those standards in your own life to anything? i will hire this person, let them into my school, married this person, just as long as this person doesn't have a terror background or a criminal record. shouldn't we aim a little bit higher than that a if we really care about the country? >> of course. we want to have standards but at the same time, what made this great nation is what we have seen in the statue of liberty, give me your poor, huddled masses. your ancestors came here when they were poor. many and stressors, the founding fathers came here when they were poor. you are successful fox news host. >> tucker: you are kind of missing it. we are not in the 18th century now and if you really care about the country, he would think deeply about what's going to make it better and safer and more prosperous, happier, more cohesive. you don't adopt a faith-based approach that says there is an
9:07 pm
inscription at the bottom of the statute new york harbor and hope for the past. why wouldn't you say, for example -- i will throw a stat out here -- the science talent search s competition tries to identify kids who are good at science, a pretty good measure, it tested students in america. 14 of the top 40 had indian immigrant parents. so that was addressed, gee whiz, that and a lot of other markers suggested that indians do pretty well. why not encourage more indian immigration? why would that be bad? >> we want to make sure that we attract the best, obviously, but we want to attract people who have w a belief of what it means to be american, someone that believes will make him here, work hard, that is what makes this nation great. it doesn't mean about people, give me your scientists, engineers. if you work hard, you can be an american. >> tucker: okay. we can roll without them too. we are not going to measure success or intelligence or anything like that, just hard work.
9:08 pm
so you wouldn't be against saying if you are here is an emigrant, you take no public benefit of any kind, you can't go to an emergency room for health care, you can't use emergency medicaid for u your health care, you can't take any kind of program at all because why would we bring people here and give them free stuff? would you before that? >> i am for no taxation without representation. >> tucker: what about the hard work part? >> they should be able to get protection, health care, if they are paying for their own doctor, paying for their own security. >> tucker: old. how about this? wouldn't be fair for the people who own this country, which is its voters, citizens, to say we will do a really simple cost-benefit analysis on every immigrant. are you paying more than you are taking out and services? about that? if you are not coming up to leave. what do you think about that? >> and 2016, undocumented immigrants contributed $2 trillion -- >> tucker: don't give me generalizations. how about an age specific case we say, if you are an immigrant
9:09 pm
from ane very simple, prove that you are producing more than you consume. if you think that is the point, that is the criterion we will use, would you before applying that standard? >> i am for the american people, republican, democrat coming together -- >> tucker: you are not for that standard. >> i want to create standards at work for everyone. i want -- >> tucker: how about standardsor at work for americans? it's not for everybody because america doesn't exist out the populations of other countries, the government exists for one reason, to look at it for its own people, it's a democracy as you maymo know. why wouldn't the american peopll have the right to say that we are only admitting people who can demonstrate they make this country better? out of some general sense, though they are all valedictorians and war heroes, but in a mathematical sense, what would be wrong with that? >> this nation is a great place because we have allowed the poor, the people who were hungry, your ancestors were poor, your ancestors of your viewers -- >> tucker: you don't know anything about my ancestors. this is not about my ancestors.
9:10 pm
>> listen, for me, i want to make sure that i'm here representing veterans, i am representing military families -- >> tucker: come on. let's have a rational conversation. you are capable -- let me ask you a simple question. if more immigration always makes the country richer, why does the state with the most immigration, which is california, keep getting poorer? it has more property than any state. 100 to five californians is poor. if immigration makes is richer, why is california getting poorer? >> i would say that california has a surplus of more than $10 billion, into the statebe economy. why? many factors. it's a welcoming state. >> tucker: wait a second. hold on. california has gotten poorer. one in five californians is poor, that was not the case when i grew up in california. it has the most immigration, so if immigration always makes us more prosperous, why is the
9:11 pm
opposite happening in california? it's a very simple question. >> i think there is many factors. i don't think it has to do with immigration. i think it has to do with the fact that we need to manage budgets. i think republicans and democrats would agree on that. i think immigrants -- >> tucker: it has nothing to do with that. even if california is now poorer than mississippi, immigration, which is the main thing that separates california for mississippi, has no role in that because why? do you have data or you don't want to admit it, like everyone else? >> i don't think we have dated to blame immigrants for every problem of the world. >> tucker: we are giving them credit for every success, we are seeing this country is rich because of immigrants, here is a stage with the most immigrants, wise of the poorest state? am i being crazy? i think it is a fair question. >> california has a surplus right now, the economy is doing very well. i could also say that immigrants are doing great, there are many factors in the play. >> tucker: [laughs] >> at the end of the day -- >> one it's doing so well that it's a poorest state.
9:12 pm
>> tucker: lost up with a magical thinking and get real. things are changing very quickly and we care about our country. the point is not to make other countries happy, it is to protect our people. i hope you will give us a pass. >> let's work together. >> tucker: caesar, things for joining us. enter clave and is a contributing editor and he just wrote a piece that has been pinging around the internet, responding to president trump's immigration remarks, and he joins us tonight. andrew cuomo thanks for coming on. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: this is one of our pieces at probably 1 of 3 of our viewers got this weekend. the opening line, "nothing scandalizes the left like the truth." what does that mean? >> the left makes simple facts seem rude, and unkind. if you say men and women are a different, have different desires, different career paths, that african-americans commitdi
9:13 pm
disproportionate amount of violent crimes, if you see that muslims committed disproportionate amount of terrorism, suddenly the rear they call you a bigot, they say that you are racist, sexist, is homophobic, whatever, until the statement of simple data, something that is factually true, become f unexpressible, you are not allowed to say them. i don't think conservatives fully appreciate the power of that kind of mental slavery. conservatives are not very good with culture and we don't understand the way it wraps itself around your mind and keeps yourself from saying the things that you are thinking. >> tucker: shouldn't all american citizens, regardless of political party of philosophy, by virtue of being american, demand to live by the standard we always have lived by? truth as a defense. if it's true, i have the right to say it. shouldn't we stand by that? >> yes.o usually, it used to be that the first amendment and the fact that americans just tend to be kind of loudmouth sensei wood comes comes into their head, that used to protect us. but the left has been good at
9:14 pm
making sure -- look, we learned that twitter is a shadow planning conservatives. we have seen how google fires a guy who states something that is politically incorrect. we have seen prager university videos band on youtube. we know that there is this massive -- and when conservatives go to universities, they are met by violence resistance, even if they are very intelligent people like ben shapiro or charles murray, they are met with violent resistance. the left is very intent on silencing right-wing opinion and it's very powerful. you look at what's happening in europe, where there immigration policy, since the war, have virtually destroyed their culture. people who come out there and say, you know maybe islam doesn't fit in england, maybe it doesn't fit in the scandinavian countries, are destroyed, they are made into pariahs. as a result, we saw how in england, at a conservative estimate, 1400 little girls were raped by muslims because the
9:15 pm
police didn't want to come out and call them out and say that they were afraid of being called racist.re they allowed this atrocity to continue. one of the things that i seee when i look at donald trump, i'm a very polite guy, and i'm a guy who doesn't like to offend people, just like most of us, one of the things i see that works for donald trump is his rudeness, his bullishness, actually have shattered this prison of political correctnesse managed to construct. i think that is the reason that that comes out of his mouth and every tweet that he sends out is such a scandal. if you turn on cnn over theer weekend after his remarks about haiti in african countries, every one of their anchorman was crying. their trembling lips in the misty eyes because 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 i is a network for anderson cooperrd called ordinary right-wing americans, he called them tea beggars, and now when haiti is insulted, suddenly
9:16 pm
anderson, his lip is trembling in his eyes are misty. it's ae form of bullying. it is simply a form of social bullying. i am grateful for donald trump for shattering that, even when he does it in ways that i find appalling. >> tucker: i agree completely. societies that hate themselves this much tend to collapse. i'm glad you are fighting. andrew cuomo thanks a lot for that was a great piece. >> g my pleasure. >> tucker: driverless cars could be dominating roadways in your city sooner than you think. word of the implications, not just for driving, but for american workers? the people who immigrate here adding those jobs, there is ach connection between technology and immigration and we'll get to it next. stay tuned. ♪ (burke) at farmers, we've seen almost everything so we know how to cover almost anything. even a swing set standoff.

9:21 pm
are born in the u.s. it's a real question. austan goolsbee is professor of economics at the university of chicago's booth school of business and he joins us tonight. i think it is a fair question and a real one but it's not just limited to driverless cars. i'm sure you saw the mckinsey report recently that said by 2030, 73 million american jobs could disappear because of automation. let's say hysterical by double. let's say it's half that.s it raises questions about our immigration policy. why are we importing people for jobs that are disappearing? >> first, i think you should be thinking about the big issues and anybody who is going to criticize you for that, i think is wrong. we should be thinking about tha that. >> tucker: no one seems to be. >> in my opinion, you are mixing up the timing a little bit.
9:22 pm
so the immigrants already came to the country and now they are failing for jobs that are there. nobody is saying, let's develop driverless cars and let's import foreignve drivers to drive cars- >> tucker: know, but we import over --io we are continuing to import without any abatement at all because of the democratic party is demanding it, more than a million low skill workers every year.. one of the going to do when these drop go? is a simple question. >> simple question, for the last hundred years, as jobs have been replaced, we have created jobs in new sectors. so as automated assembly lines got more and more robotic sized, people moved into services. now some 75, 80% of the economy are service jobs. why do we have seen and immigration historically, if we are in. it's with growth, not many immigrants want to come to this country.
9:23 pm
>> tucker:ea austan, which are leaving outcome as an economist, i think you would know this, in earlier periods, there's only been one, the social safety net was a fraction of what it is today. you couldn't realistically come to this country in 1913 and expect that your basic needs to be taken care of by the state. it's very different now. >> tucker: that's not true there has only ever been one automation or replacement of technology. that's been an ongoing problem for 140 years. >> tucker: hold on. this is actually happening. even if people are coming here and not finding work, they will still live better than they did and burkina faso. why wouldn't they continue to come? it very obvious and i don't understand why that is part of the calculation. >> we are not fighting about illegal immigration. >> tucker: we are talking about legal immigration. >> i'm talking about legal immigration. and if we look at the immigration that comes tou this country, if we do not allow
9:24 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 medicaid. >> tucker: oh, we won't. unfortunately, we don't have time to unpack this. i don't accept that stipulation. let me ask you this. knowing what we know about the evolution of the american economy becoming more tech focused, why are we importing people who have a higher likelihood of succeeding in that sector? we are not doing that. our immigration policy is based on lettuce picking. why would l we do that than a high-tech world. >> it's not only lettuce picking. it's as fair point to say we should have more skilled immigrants. the danger of that, of course, you would block say doris salt who came to this country with no education, she had a child who cared polio. >> tucker: spare me.
9:25 pm
i am for immigration, lots of immigrants starts company -- stt companies, as you know. here's a list. number one country, india.in canada, united kingdom, germany, france, armenia, none of these countries are in the top five for immigrants to the united states. no one is from haiti, el salvador, honduras, mexico. there is a massive difference between who where you are importing and who is succeeding. >> yes or no. you are singling out just mexico, central america, the know, singledyou 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 had explicitly tried to reduce thef amount -- >> tucker: wait a second. if that's true, then, why is google the most powerful company
9:26 pm
in the world by its own numbers, only employing and its tech side, 1% black employees? 1%. i don't understand. either google is racist -- >> black employees are native born.. what are you saying? >> tucker: you are saying that a lot of the immigrants are going into high tech, then why isn't that reflected -- >> just look at the statistics -- >> tucker: then why are google's ex-employees, the most important tech employee in the world, why are they 1% black? with the answer? >> one, what are their share of immigrants, what are they doing. you are saying, what share of cool came from africa? that is what you are asking? we have very little immigration from africa. >> tucker: that's not true, actually. we have an awful lot of immigrants from africa. you maybe haven't been keeping current on this. i'm not against african immigrants. i'm just saying, why can't we bf

>> tucker: heather mcdonald is a fellow at the manhattan institute and another "me too" skeptic entry joins us tonight. ready think it iss going at this point? >> it's going toward the disappearing of men. we will see a wave of new gender quotas throughout the economy on the assumption that if we don't have proportional representation of men and women across workplaces and signs in computing and entertainment, it is because of gender patriarchy and harassment, which is simply not the case. with what we are saying, tucker, a sexual liberation having a nervous breakdown. 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.s. their libidos are different. and we had a set of norms that
9:33 pm
restrained the male libido, norms of dental manliness and courtesy and chivalry, and we had a default for premarital for females that was know, and that gave females the power to say yes but they didn't have to negotiate with the male libido at every instance of some drunken coupling. sexual liberation through that all out and said men and women should go mono e mono on the sexual battlefield, they are equal in their desires, equal in their responses to casual sex and it turns out, when you set the default ideas for premarital sex, a lot of women have a hard time negotiating a "no" ." instead of recognizing that we have screwed up the default setting, and are working against biology, women are blaming the patriarchy when the opposite is the case. >> tucker: whatever its effect has not made women happier the last 50 years. there has been a longitudinal study on this and american women
9:34 pm
have not become happier. i wonder if you destroy men, complete the destruction of men, they are pretty close to being destroyed i would say, how does that help women? what would be the effect on women? >> i think you'll see a lot of regret. why aren't men accordingly? basically, civilization has been created by people with very powerful egos. it is of no relevance to me whether they were male or female's. i want that meritocracy, i want people with drive to succeed, and if you have a rule that says powerful man should be out of the picture, i think we are going to reach a novelization all stasis. >> tucker: yeah, i mean, this has profound consequences. i can smell it. it's a big deal. heather, thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: there is all-out war in silicon valley. conservatives are accusing google and twitter of censorship because they are committing it, while facebook has been accused

9:40 pm
speech for the sake of increasing their profit margin. is there any moral authority left in silicon valley? >> i don't think so. 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. and if you look at had, in particular, the internet has, in the last ten years, i love the internet, i preferred to the internet ten, 15 years ago -- in the last decade, it is dwindled to a duopoly, basically facebook and google, who, between them, take 84% of the digital revenue on the entire planet excluding china. and that actually means that google andbo facebook account fr over a 30% all revenue on the planet. basically, beyond market pressures, and they have a highly ideological, politicized staff who, as we saw in these
9:41 pm
leaks from twitter, basically are glorying, reveling in the power they have to do down there ideological foes. t >> tucker: i don't understand. aa simple question, since they live in washington, you have to grow companies, at least two, that are operating what is a textbook monopoly to the detriment of consumers in this country. they are really a threat to the u.s. government, and they are more powerful than the u.s. government and the u.s. congress, which is charged with overseeing this in preventing this from happening, throws up his hands and says, i don't see violation. i don't see how they can sit impotently in the face this threat. >> no, i thought senator lee was rather unimpressive on your show a couple of days ago. very disappointing. in a sense, we are not very potentially dangerous situations here because as you say, this is a de facto google-facebook monopoly. around the planet.
9:42 pm
if you look at, for example, the european union, angela merkel actually wants facebook, she's caught on tape with mark zuckerberg, in effect asking him to control and enforce the restriction of sort of right-wing populist movements in germany. theresa may in britain looks on facebook and twitter for for ie same way, that she wants them te her enforcers. and i think the danger here is that in america and the european union and elsewhere, in essence, the natural political inclinations of facebook and google are incentivized by craven politicians. it's a kind of -- if you want to steer clear, they are beyond commercial pressure now. only antitrust pressure in washington or in brussels could restrain this entity.

9:49 pm
concert, the fact it waser las vegas, i don't think this was random. may in fact when it all comes out in the wash, be ait factor. one other quick thing, second point. was he alone? it's pretty obvious he was the gunman in this case, based on the evidence we have.bu but that is not what i'm asking. was he alone or did he have some kind of support structure in place? lot ofi think when a this gets fleshed out and reseat the report start to become public, i have a really hard time believing that he will be the only person involved. there has to be some level of logistical support or operational support are similar in this. >> tucker: one indication of thosee are the email accounts that paddock maintained that we learned about a couple of days ago, from which he sent emails. vermont to the other, basically addressed to another person. that person is not named, but he is clearly writing to someone else. not just notes to himself. when you make about? >> this is very bizarre, tucker,
9:50 pm
and spend bizarre since day one. my understanding was that he was emailing himself, which kind of adds to the whole mystery. of course, the new development of his girlfriend admitting to investigators that her prints were on the ammo. this is an instant replay to the pulse nightclub tragedy where the significant other on that case will be going to trial in orlando march 1st, very interesting to see what will happen with marilou danley, the girlfriend of mr. paddock. as we went to the two questions that dan asked him a key questions, i would add a third. did federal or state authorities have any knowledge at all of paddock? had they had contact with him in anyway? where 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 there was a lot of ammo and the residents of the shooter, which, to me, is not very
9:51 pm
revealing and shocking news to anybody. >> tucker: especially not in this case. dan, do we have any -- i don't want you to speculate or get over your skis at all because it's too important and we don't want to muddywe it with things e 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 indications indication as to why it is being conducted and is haphazard, sloppy way? >> i do. i always appreciate you wanting to stickde with what we know. despite the government has been unnecessarily chris burnett, which has sponsored conspiracy theories. tucker, think about this, there is a very serious economic and financial incentive for a lot of potential secrets in this case to be kept quiet for a while, and to keep this off the front pages and tell news blows over. it's very obvious. it doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to figure out, one of

>> sean: the state of hawaii
9:57 pm
suffered a brief, terrifying panic over the weekend with the islands emergency distress system mistakenly warn people that a ballistic missile, presumably from asia, was invalid, despite causing a major panic, officials have labeled the whole affair and unfortunate accident, some one pushed the wrong button. they tried to move on. should they move on? in national affairs columnist for "the "national review"? says someone should lose their job over this. i think it's a very fair point. has it always been the custom in the united states, that when you commit some massive scroll but work, everythings is fine? window that start? >> i think 2001 was the watershed after 9/11, 18 intelligence agenciesin failed o detect the terrorist attack. as far as i know, no one got fired, no 9 one got demoted, and no one resigned. >> tucker: what are the long-term consequences of this? no one is-t ever held accountabe for anything? >> your earlier show segments. a slow decline in civilization, if people want a personal
9:58 pm
responsibility, if we don't want people to standards of behavioro down to hell. >> tucker: so if your job is to maintain or or operate an emergency alert system, and you tell people that they are going to die in a missile launch, what should happen to you? should you keep your job? >> right now the guy has been temporarily reassigned. i think more disciplinary action is necessary. the guys above have failed. the people who were in charge, they had a system in which there was no way too countermand the alarm. there was no way to send out a false alarm. that is why it took 38 minutes in which a million and a half people m were terrified in order to correct the mistake. that is unacceptable. we should have disciplined at the top and discipline at the bottom. >> sean: by the way, for the record, since we are on the subject, a lot of speculation as to what happen. we are buying the press the wrong button exclamation? >> apparently, the fellow
9:59 pm
clicked the wrong button and then he was asked, do you really, really want to do this, and he said yes. that is apparently what happened, and he didn't know what he had done until the mobile phones of his fellow employees started going berserk. unacceptable behavior by him, even more unacceptable lack of safeguards of a point of his bosses. >> tucker: maybe this is why you are more likely to die in your job as a federal employee then to be fired. [laughs] i don'tur know i am laughing. it's not funny. >> in hawaii, that's true. >> tucker: good to see you. sadly, our show is over. an hour slipped through our fingers like sand through an hourglass. tune in every night at 8:00 to their show that is a sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink.ro don't forget to dvr it if you can figure out how that works. if you can, good luck. again, we said at the beginning of the show, we are going to try to make the people who run this
