kentucky. it's not stopping everyone from enjoying the snow day. be safe. most-watched, most trusted, most grateful you spend the evening with us. good night from washington. i am shannon bream. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." democrat phil murphy replaced chris christie new jersey. one of the very first things he did was create a new high profile state agency. can you guess what it's gonna do? it won't be stamping out rampant opioid abuse in new jersey, unfortunately. it won't be working to boost that state's lagging economy, either. it won't fix the budget, which is perpetually in deficit or fill some of those ubiquitous potholes that test your shock absorbers when you pull off for coffee and it certainly won't be fighting crime.

in fact, doing just the opposite. governor phil murphy's new state task force will exist specifically to subvert and undermine america's existing laws. the office is called the office of immigrant defense it will offer legal assistance to illegal immigrants so they can evade deportation or at least delay it long enough to receive the drivers licenses and taxpayer-funded college aid that governor murphy also wants to give them. so the message of all of this could not be clearer. governor murphy's top priority is not the citizens of new jersey but, instead, people who shouldn't be there in the first place. if you don't believe that, take a look at new jersey's cities. nearly all of which are hurting badly and have been for generations. camden, across the river from philadelphia, is one of the toughest places on this con continent. unemployment rate is more than double the national average. 30% of its residents live below the poverty line. parts are so dangerous you wouldn't walk down the street. newark and patterson are not much better than that. but governor murphy has not announced a new state agency

to fix those places. no other liberal governor in america is doing that either because, let's be honest, democrats have given up on blighted american neighborhoods. the schools are terrible, they are not getting better. the people there shoot each other, who knows why. unemployment, broken families, drug addiction, it is a tragedy in slow motion and everybody knows it. but where's the energy to make any of it better, to help our fellow americans? well, it's been siphoned off to serve a new and more fashionable cause, one not incidentally with long-term electoral prospects. illegal immigrants. that's the new cause. as for the american poor, people whose families have been here for 300 years and are still suffering and dying young, as long as democrats take their votes for granted, they will continue to get lip service and that's it. john is a member of the new jersey assembly and he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me on, tucker. >> tucker: i checked the

numbers in newark, new jersey, about 12% of high schoolers are adequate in math. in camden, among kids in grades 3 through 8, it's 7% have reached the math standard. why wouldn't the incoming governor make that his priority and not legal aid to illegal aliens? >> i think you are unfair in the premise of what you said. first and foremost as it relates to new jersey, there is 500,000 undocumenteds in our state, that's 6% of our population. so they're not the criminals that you purport them to be. they are our neighbors. >> tucker: i'm not calling them criminals. what i'm calling them is non-americans, which they are. and i'm not against them, actually. i think they are probably mostly nice people. i think the government has a duty first and foremost to protect its own people. in new jersey -- i used to live in the state so i knew, too. its cities crumbling and dangerous and the schools are terrible. where is the emphasis on

that? >> i don't know where you say the schools is terrible. governor murphy is going to make schools funding priority. can you pick score cities and try to make -- >> tucker: is newark the biggest city in new jersey? >> jersey city, give or take. >> tucker: 12% of high schoolers adequate in math. do you think that's a success? >> of course it isn't. then we can always do better. that's one of the governor's priority. i thought we came to talk about the department that is going to look after those who are refugees, those who are dreamers. those who are green card holders. we have to make sure they have access to adequate information. no different than adequate legal services. >> tucker: so i think we will both agree that a government's first job is to take care of its own citizens, the ones who put it in power in the first place, whose votes give it legitimacy. so how does giving financial aid for college tuition to illegals help american citizens in new jersey? >> you are skipping ahead.

when it comes to it, what we need to do, when you look at what's happened in the last year and a half or year of president trump, we have seen statistics go down from a crime reporting perspective among the latino population as it relates to the domestic violence, as it relates to sexual assault, down by as much as 20%. why is that? it's because they are afraid to report it. is that in our best interest to keep us safe? do you think that criminals after undocumenteds? >> tucker: we may be having parallel conversations. the governor said the plan is to use taxpayer money to help the children here illegally go to college. i know why it's great for them and why they are happy about it. why should a new jersey resident who is an american citizen think this helps him? >> overall you are taking peeves the component what we are going to be talking about. we are going to be talking about drivers licenses. guess what, undocumenteds drive anyway. isn't it better to make sure they take a safety test? better prepared to do so and drivers get insurance? >> tucker: i don't know.

probably best if they left. since they are here i get it since you are not going to answer my question about college tuition. millions of african-americans, americans, citizens who don't have drivers licenses. why isn't new jersey starting a program to get them drivers licenses, instead giving them to illegal aliens with a new program? i'm missing it. >> i didn't know the show, your vent was to force people they can otherwise do. you wouldn't suggest we should force licenses on people, right? that's not your philosophy. >> tucker: i'm not suggesting that. democrats are saying we can't have voter i.d. laws because african-americans don't have i.d. here your state is saying we are going to help people here illegally get ids. why not help your own people first? that's the theme i'm asking for. not getting an answer. >> don't even get into the voter i.d. piece. it's about voter suppression. picking on groupings of people who happen to vote democratic that you are trying to keep. >> tucker: i'm not picking on anybody. i'm asking why you are not helping them and instead helping illegal aliens. let's get to my question about college aid.

every parent in america worries about the cost. now taxpayers are subsidizing the cost for illegal aliens. why does it help them? why does it help citizens of new jersey? >> didn't you say you said you should throw them all out? could you really be suggesting we are going to take half a million people in our state and deport them? could you be suggesting -- >> tucker: you are not going to answer my question because you don't have an answer. you don't have an answer. let's start with -- >> that's a different thing. >> tucker: maybe you should start with explaining to our viewers why it's in their interests as american citizens to see their tax dollars goes to educate people here illegally. how does that help them? it's a fair question. >> it's a fair question and eventually when there is sanity in washington, where when there is a path to citizenship for the 11 million people here undocumented, because they will never be all removed, you know that, then allowing these individuals to become educated will make them more productive citizens and an important part of our country. that's why it's to our

advantage. >> tucker: why is it to our advantage? >> why isn't it ever our advantage? it's to make them more productive and better citizens in our country. >> tucker: there are lots of americans, a lot of americans, most americans who worry about the cost of tuition for their kids. it's their country. why not take that money and give it to them to help their kids? i don't understand. >> whole different topic. you know, governor murphy in one of his priorities is relating to having junior colleges tuition-free for new jersey citizens that are good students. they they are much by way of programs that you are focusing on the one having to do with supporting those who are undocumented and particularly the dreamers, the refugees, as well as green card holders to have a clearing house. legal aid so they can understand what their options are and not be afraid. that's a fair thing to do. >> tucker: and fight federal law. yeah. i get it. thanks a lot, assemblyman, i appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: lawrence jones is a reporter as well as a radio and tuition host over at the blaze. he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: i don't think i'm being unfair when i ask why

in a state that has a limited pot of money, the priority seems to be people who are here illegally over people who are born here and are hurting. >> tucker, i have been trying to sit quietly as this debate continued between you and your last guest. i sat through 8 years of the obama administration that put other citizens, other country's citizens, before its own and quite frankly, i think the american people sent a message and said that was over. now we have another democrat that has taken office and essentially said, look, you don't matter. other citizens of other countries matter more than you. look, the fact of the matter is there are a lot of young black men and women that have dreams as well. their education is failing in new jersey. the unemployment is terrible. you've got poverty that a lot of that money could be going to benefit them. democrats would rather, despite black folks giving them 90-plus% of their vote put other people first before them.

>> tucker: do you think it's despite giving 96% of the vote or perhaps because of it? if you think a vote is guaranteed, then why would you be concerned about the worries of those voters? you've already won them over. you don't have to counter that garden. >> that's exactly right. that's why i'm talking to the young people, the people that are in my community. enough is enough. have you seen the benefits of the trump administration. black unemployment is the lowest it's ever been. you have to make a choice if you're going to continue to vote for policies that only produce poverty and not wealth. you know, tucker, the democrats want to talk about emotions. i have emotional argument for them that's also logical. when black people came here on slave ships unwillingly, they still have to have a constitutional amendment to get citizenship and get the rights of all other americans. so why would we allow people here, give them government

funding give them free education, you know, social programs that benefit when we have people that came here unwillingly and they still have to go through a legal process. >> tucker: i agree with that. you ought to side with your fellow country men first always. lawrence, thank you. i appreciate that. the department of justice announced plans to sue allowing continuation of daca program. a single unelected federal judge suddenly in charge of the country's entire immigration policy somehow. doj is fighting that. meanwhile, new and fascinating stats tonight on immigration legal and illegal and how it intersected with crime in america as it often does. according to federal numbers released today, america's terror threat is clearly, among other things, an immigration issue. of the 549 people convicted of terror offenses between 9/11 and the end of 2016, fully 73% were immigrants. many of them entered this country through chain migration and the diversity lottery, both of which allow

immigrants here without regard for their skills or how well they would integrate into american society and clearly many are not integrating. the doj estimates more than 20 people in this country are murdered every year in honor killings, mostly family members who see them as "too westernized." 1500 are put into forced marriages in this country annually. between 2003 and 2009 immigrants to the united states committed about 70,000 sex crimes. none of these facts require we shut down immigration. no one is arguing that. they do demand honest discussion. not dismissive accusations of bigotry every time someone raises the subject. you have heard the response dozens of times, shut up dumb america, illegal americans are way more law abiding than you are. not so fast. a new report by the crime research center take as close look how illegal immigration affected crime in one state, arizona. the numbers are stark. in the state of arizona, illegal immigrants are more than two and a half times more likely to commit murder

as u.s. citizens are. they are almost three times as likely to commit manslaughter and sex crime against children as well as armed robbery. convicted illegal immigrants 45% more likely to be gang members. overall young illegal immigrants break the law and not just immigration law, the rest of the laws, at twice the rate of american citizens. so for at least one state, we know that illegal immigration is directly linked to higher crime rates. these numbers deserve honest discussion in the halls of power. not shrieks of bigotry and angry declarations that all immigrants are future medal of honor recipients. the fact elites don't want to have that conversation says everything about the priorities. you are not on the list of priorities. attorney general jeff sessions oversaw the release and he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. >> good to be with you. >> tucker: giving these numbers, it does give new urgency to the immigration negotiations going on in washington. you were involved in a number of efforts in i think

2006, 2007, 2013 to scuttle attempt at amnesty. during that time i remember you saying the washington establishment supports any kind of border enforcement as long as it doesn't work. what did you mean by that? >> that's exactly correct. any time a proposal like a wall or to fix this idea that you claim you are afraid to go home and get to stay in the united states or you have problems where we provide subsidies to people who come illegally, the more you subsidize it the more you get of something. these kind of failed policies are never going to work. and the american people don't believe in it. and we have been trying to reform it and every time you come up with a reform that works, gets blocked. and so president trump has said we need -- we have immigration. we want immigration. but we want to vet these people. we want to know who they are and make sure they are going to be productive people. people who will flourish in america, who are going to not be terrorists, not be criminals. and that's exactly correct

for america. it's just unbelievable to me that we have the resistance we are having today to the reforms that are on the verge. we are close to having reforms that will actually work today. >> tucker: and that voters voted for. >> big issue in this election. trump took it directly to the american people. it was a huge factor in his victory. yet, the same crowd that fought for the amnesty before is still trying to scuttle good reforms today. >> tucker: apparently here are features of the proposal we are now looking at. it would fund about 10% of the proposed border wall about 70 miles out of 2,000. no enforcement basically, can't deport anybody. it would expand chain migration. dreamers could bring their relatives. it makes diversity lottery more unskilled. it did doesn't seem like it's moving in the right direction. >> totally unjustifiable. that cannot be. that is not a proposal that has any prospect of success. they need to look at the

proposal that house judiciary city congressman goodlatte has proposed, that will work. it will end the illegality. make the system work better. that's what the american people want. and the objectors, the sanctuary cities, the new jersey policy you just talked, about those are policies that favor illegality. they subsidize illegality. they encourage illegality. american people are sick of that, it's time to end it. the choice is clear and it's going to be even clearer this year. we're going to have some votes in congress. people need to be held to account, are you are going to fix this system, create a system that protects america? we know as you said 73% of the people who have been arrested for terrorism came here were born abroad. so if they had been properly screened and rejected, we wouldn't have had these attacks in our country. >> tucker: someone i spoke to with direct knowledge said in his meeting on

immigration, lindsey graham summed up his argument by citing a poem from the statue of liberty. not really a case you would expect for republicans to be making. why aren't there more articulate republican members of the congress making the case that you just made? >> i wish there were. actually. people need to get focused on this. we are not against immigration. the president is not against immigration. what the american people want, have a right to, and what's good for america, is a lawful system of immigration. and when we admit people to our country, we should be like canada. we should evaluate them and make sure they are going to be lawful. they are not threats to us. they have the education and skill level to prosper in america. that's good for them and good for america. what good does it do to bring in somebody who is illiterate in their own country, has no skills, and is going to struggle in our country and not be

successful? that is not what a good nation should do. and we need to get away from it. a good debate needs to be happening this year. the president is right on the lottery. that's ridiculous. how absurd is that for a policy for a great nation? we need to tighten up on our admission of people from dangerous areas of the globe where we can't vet. where we have high numbers of terrorists that live in those areas. we should certainly be more careful and limit that kind of immigration. >> tucker: when you left the senate it lost maybe its best voice on this. >> i appreciate it. >> tucker: the "me too" movement finally meeting some backlash.

♪ >> tucker: the "me too" movement could finally have gone too far, even for many of its supporters. this site babe.com, which by the way, no one had heard of until last week, as published sexual misconduct allegations against a comedian called aziz ansari. it's hard to ride the wave of post-harvey weinstein outrage except most people believe that ansari didn't do anything wrong. ashley banfield denounced the anonymous accuser, saying she was trying to ruin a man's career over a bad date. >> you had a bad date.

after protesting his moves, you continue to engage in a sexual encounter. what do you have done in my opinion is appalling. you went to the press with the story of a bad date. and you have potentially destroyed this man's career over it. >> tucker: ansari is a big liberal, which may account for some of the defense you are hearing but still. the ladies of "the view" were mad. they worried the story could cripple the "me too" movement long term. here it is. >> so if you are on a date and he is not as good as you thought, and you go -- does that mean stop, get out, go away? whatever happened to "stop"? >> nonverbal, it's very tricky. you are asking a lot. nonverbal is just too vague. you have to be verbal. one snow is established, is established. >> i'm concerned about what it does to the "me too" movement.

i'm freaked out about talking about this on television because i think there'll be a huge backlash. >> tucker: again, aziz ansari is a liberal, which may account for a lot of this, of course it does, but it raises interesting points. the founding publisher of catalina magazine joins us. she likes the piece. she joins us. thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: what struck me about this is that the woman making these accusations against this man concedes in the body of the piece that she both had sexual contact with him, pretty extensive, and never expressed discomfort, displeasure, ask them to stock up and never said anything about it. it's hard to see how that would be assault or anything even in the neighborhood of assaults. how is it? >> she was trying to let him know, i guess nonverbally, that she wasn't into the moment that she didn't realize, like me '70s, women would slap a guy on the face and leave and perhaps a new sexual revolution is needed in the world.

she didn't know that she could actually do that. so women need to be educated in the "me too" movement is great because we need to know you can get up and leave. >> tucker: wait a second. i thought that ansari came off as creepy and self-centered ced boorish. you are saying and he '70s, women would have slapped them but now they want. you are saying that despite almost 50 years of nonstop feminist indoctrination of every living american, women have become more passive and less willing to speak up for themselves? how does that work? >> we haven't had sexual revolutions happening every few years. we had would happen in the '70s and then it was assumed that women knew that women had strength and power. until the "me too" movement, that hasn't been the case. >> tucker: who are these women? i know a lot of women. i don't know any women who would feel uncomfortable saying knock it off if something was going on that they didn't like. who are these passive, meek

women? whose fault is that? >> the women who published the piece, that is why it is getting so much recognition. >> tucker: if you don't read my mind, you are a criminal? i get to destroy your reputation? >> if you're a guy who is acting creepy and the woman is uncomfortable but you keep going and you are having a great time while the person you are but this obviously miserable but you are not picking up on it, it's a okay? can this speech when he would movement is letting women know, -- >> tucker: why doesn't the woman just say she's miserable? is that too much to ask of another human being? >> she said it. she said it too late. >> tucker: no, she didn't. she wrote the piece anonymously and babe.com was too cowardly to i identify her so he gets smeared but -- >> he didn't say it was a lie. why is that smearing? >> tucker: hold on. she's attacking him anonymously

in a piece about his life. >> she gave the facts and what happened that night and it's up to the reader to say, was he right, was she right, was it awkward? i don't think it was an attack. i think it was saying, this is what the guy did. >> tucker: it was an attack. what i'm struck by is that you are professional feminist, i am not. but i seem to have a higher opinion of women then you do. you seem to think that they are so weak and helpless that it's understandable they are afraid to say something as simple as "i don't like that." >> i think they are trying to say it, they just aren't saying it in the right way. >> tucker: she didn't say it at all. i think women are adults. you don't, apparently. >> i do think women are adults. i think they need to be feel more empowered because they are powerful and they need to feel more empowered and i think they -- for these type of stories, women will know, i won't let that happen to me, i will speak up. thank goodness the story was written.

>> tucker: [laughs] this is insane. i should probably stop talking. kathy, thank you, as always, you are our trooper sherpa into thd regions of the american left. a college advisor has resigned after publicly hoping that a conservative commentator would suffer sexual harassment or assault. acr tv host and blocks of the conservative millennial, recently jeff bernstein, an advisor, or was, tweeted this. "wishing you a "me too" movement. maybe you won't be so insensitive." bernstein, who sounds horrible, resigned yesterday after threatening allie stuckey, who joins us right now. thank you for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: people have suspected for a couple of months that the left is using the "me too" hashtag and the movement has a weapon against its political opponents but this guy didn't even try and hide it. >> exactly. i think that is one of the many

problems with the "me too" moment or movement. i take sexual harassment and sexual assault very seriously and its victims very seriously, as everyone does. one of the fatal flaws of this movement is the weaponization of "me too," not just against almost all men but also against conservatives to shame us for our political views. unfortunately when i dug deeper on mr. bernstein, i saw that this is a pattern that he had of targeting not just young women, but young conservative women online, making very suggestive under an appropriate and harassing remarks, like he madeo me. unfortunately, he is reaping the repercussions of that kind of tribalism. >> tucker: he sounds like a total creep. wishing sexual harassment or assault on you? i am not miss it interpreting his sentiment, and my? >> no. that is the how i took it. quite honestly, i was surprised and confused when i first read it because the tweet that he was replying to that i said was very noncontroversial. i simply made the comment that i

think that "me too" is a symptom of a broken world and that our world is in need of redemption, far more serious than any fix of taking down the so-called patriarchy or any kind of legal reforms. i thought that my tweet meant that i take "me too" very seriously. he took it upon himself to wish i guess that i was sexually harassed or assaulted so i would believe the things that he believed. it's sad to me that that is where we are in society that we think that wishing someone harm is an acceptable form of communication and dissent. it's not. >> tucker: so he loves women so much that he's wishing physical harm on an actual woman. sounds -- really, there are a lot of problems with the american right, but they are not like that. to be that perverse, you really have to be on the left. i mean that. thank you. great to see you. >> thank you very much. >> tucker: steve bannon testified before congress today about russia. he didn't have a lot to say.

bannon refused to answer the committee's questions about his time at the white house. that prompted community members to subpoena him on the spot. congressman trey gowdy is here and he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >> tucker: did bannon admit being a russian agent? >> we learned about a new privilege that before today did not exist. an executive privilege that covers transition communication communications, communications while you're working at the white house, and communications after you separated from service the white house. so that is why the subpoena was issued is because his is the most tortured analysis of executive privilege i have ever heard of. so when you make a very provocative claim, like treason and unpatriotic, and there is a 0% chance that these russian lawyers aren't going to see canceled her trunk,g that you will be asked about it and asked a lot about it, and that is what we did. >> tucker: does anyone believe

those claims are true? i am losing track of the point of this whole exercise. is anyone on capitol hill think the trump campaign colluded with the russian government to subvert our democracy? >>s i can't speak for my friends on the other side of the aisle. adam schiff said he had evidence of collusion before we started. i have seen no evidence of collusion between the russians and president trump, between the russians on the trump campaign. but it was steve bannon who used the word "treasonous" and he used the word "unpatriotic." two serious accusations to level, particularly at the president's son. you'll be asked about it and he also needed to be asked about things that happened with respect to comey. the reason we had a hiccup this morning was because executive privilege now covers things before you become the chief executive, which is just mind-numbing, and there is no legal support for it. but we can't make a witness answer a question. >> tucker: you have been in the middle of this investigation

for a long time. what is your conclusion? do you think your democratic colleagues are acting in good faith? >> i'm not good at judging people's motives. i can tell you having been around congress for seven years, there is an advantage for the democrats dragging this out as long as they possibly can. they were really, really reticent to start. once you are reticent to start, that tells me that you don't have an end date. they want this to drag. gibby 2018 elections. they want to retake the house. it is our responsibility to conduct a thorough investigation but also doo it in the most expedited way, it would be really helpful if the democrats wanted to get started sooner. like march or april of this year, but they didn't pray that as a politics. quite frankly, tucker, i don't think your viewers are holding your breath waiting on what a congressional investigation uncovers.n i think they are waiting on bob mueller because his investigation carries more prudence than ours does. >> tucker: the whole thing seems so stupid to me.

i'm willing to believe wrongdoing on a lot of levels by a lot of people, but russian collusion seems unproven. i wonder, just hypothetically, if roles were reversed, and democrats held all the levers of power, do you think republicans would be able to do what democratsfr have done, drive ths investigation from the beginning? >> no. i can tell you firsthand we would not be able to do that because when president obama was in office, we had an impossible time getting access to documents and witnesses when i was leading another investigation. the biggest headwind of all wasn't president obama. it was thehe media. the mainstream media could not care about what happened in benghazi,t they are not interested in what happened in russiate and part because they don't know anybody who voted for donald trump. they are still trying to figure out how this election occurred and how his election occurred so the mainstream media is the biggest difference to me between investigation i did a couple of years ago and the one we are doing now.s

year. the disaster has been fueled in part by medicaid, the federal program that provides medicalle care for poor and disabled americans. medicaid recipients typically pay a small co-payment for medical expenses and medicines. that includes opioid painkillers. according to a new report released exclusively to e this show by the homeland security, they can pay as little as $1 to receive 240 opioid painkillers. those pills can be resold on the street for $4,000. of course that creates a huge incentive for black-market sales, which unfortunately are common. already more than 1,000 people have been charged or convicted of medicaid fraud, specifically related to opioids. such as medicaid, either. medicare and the v.a. have seen extensive opioid fraud, as well, and people have died as a result. it turns out the federal government is literally paying to flood american communities with addictive pills. senator ron johnson is holding a hearing on this part of the
