already. that's "the story" tonight. we look forward to it. our friend tucker carlson is coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening, and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. it is now clear that for many of our elected leaders it's not even worth having a country if that country comes with real borders. the federal government, you may have heard, is on the brink of shutting down tomorrow if congress can't come to an agreement on funding it the main stumbling block remains daca that's of course president obama's program that gives worker permits to illegal immigrants who came here as minors. almost all democrats and many republicans pushing for amnesty for daca recipients. there is a striking fanaticism to their position. illegal immigrants must be kept in this country at all costs no matter what. for democrats, it's

understandable because the calculus is simple. having abandoned the concerns of the middle class here they need millions of new voters and they need them fast, otherwise their party risks becoming a permanent minority. replacing ungrateful citizens with owed bead yent immigrants is their only hope. any democrat that's thought it through for even a minnows this well. they can't say it in public though because obviously it's horrible. so, instead, they are trying a new talking point. illegal immigrants are terrific people, every single one of them, far more noble and law abiding than you are. how dare you complain about their presence. you must be a bigot. the one problem with this line of argument is that it's vulnerable to facts. but until recently, there really were few reliable numbers on crimes committed by illegal immigrants and this allowed democrats to pretend that every person who sneaks across our border goes on to become a heart surgeon or a member of seal team 6. we have the data now and it turns out surprise surprise they have been lying to you. in the border state of arizona, for example,

illegal immigrants commit two and a half times as many murders as american citizens do. they are almost 50% more likely to be in gangs. they commit more armed robbery and more sex crimes against children. overall they are about twice as likely to be convicted of crimes of all kinds, non-immigration related. that's just in one state. in california, inann illegal alien murdered two police officers. he had been deported from this country multiple times. in each case he came back, thanks to politicians who have zero interest in keeping people like him out. in court this tuesday, he bragged about his plans to escape from prison and murder more. >> tucker: so illegal immigration divides the country. lower lowers wages for those who can least afford and it in some cases cost americans their lives. why are we doing this? because it's our moral duty

that's what our leaders are telling us. we have. that's who we are. just days ago the senate's most celebrated moral philosopher lindsey graham of south carolina spoke for the country's entire ruling class when he explained the rationale for his views on immigration. diversity is our strength. now, you've heard that phrase before obviously. you hear it every day. in effect it's our new national motto soon to replace the outdated and in fact polar opposite sentiment e plur business iewe plurbisunum.nobody bothersn what it means. is it true the less we have in common the stronger we are? is a marriage stronger when spouses have radically different beliefs? are you closer to your kids when you share no common points of reference? do you speak the same language as your best friend? could you be best friends if you didn't? these are important questions given that our leaders are radically and

permanently changing our country wholly on the basis of their faith that diversity is, in fact, our strength maybe we should have talked this through ahead of time. somehow we didn't. house majority leader kevin mccarthy tried to start that conversation today. here is part of what he said. >> we did not survive, grow and become the most powerful civilization in human history because we are focused on our diversity. it is not our differences that makes us stronger. it is our unity despite our diversity. unity and paths of principles and of the purpose that brought us out of many into one. >> tucker: in other words, diversity isn't our strength. unity is our strength. don't let the left lie to you. that doesn't mean we have to lookalike. it doesn't mean we have to come from the same places. it does mean we have to share common beliefs. otherwise we will hate each other and the whole enterprise will fall apart. it's true in families, it's

true in friendships and it's true in countries, too. you already knew that because it's obvious. our leaders spend most of their time denying it they are lying to us. >> tucker: a phoenix city council member running for mayor in that city and she supports the continuation of daca. she joins us tonight. thanks for joining us. i appreciate it? >> thank you so much for having me. >> tucker: so trying to think through how legalizing people who are here illegally helps american citizens and in arizona we have some data on this because it -- the state passed as you know one of the toughest anti-immigration laws in the country in 2010. and the effects of that have been studied. here is what they showed there was a short-term labor shortage obviously people here to work, they can't work. there was a labor shortage. over time automation made up for it and wages went up for american workers, costs meanwhile went down. prison costs went down, education costs went down. dramatically by hundreds of millions of dollars. so given that we know that why does it help the economy to legalize people here

illegally? >> right now the city of phoenix is the fastest growing city in the entire country. we have added more people in 2016 than any other city and we are constrained by our workforce right now. we just had some folks from the home building industry come into the city of phoenix and say we could do so much more if we had a larger construction workforce. we'll could be creating jobs. we could be building new affordable homes for people to live in. but we don't have the workforce we need. and they said that the point that they really feel like it's changed was not having enough people through immigration. >> tucker: yeah. well, a lot of -- i bet they feel that way. no, a lot of employers make that case and they mean it they want obviously cheaper labor. i think all employers do. why wouldn't they? but, if that's true, if morism legal immigrants make a place richer, then how many specifically do you think arizona or phoenix needs? how many illegals do you need in your city to make it richer? would more be better?

how about 10 million? would it make it even richer? >> right now we are desperately concerned about our daca recipients who are in our city. arizona has 28,000 daca recipients who have been great members of our community who went to our high schools, were educated here. we have been investing in them for years. now they are ready to give back and we are worried about their future right now. our republican governor has stepped up and said they're an important part of our economy. we want them to stay. >> tucker: right. no but you just said, i just want to get to the number of it though because i think it's a big deal. would you legalize people. they vote, they bring their relatives. it changes the place, maybe for the better, maybe to the worse. we should be clear about the effects i think you would agree. if bringing in more people illegally and making them citizens makes you more prosperous then why wouldn't you bring in 10 million and become really really rich. would that work? >> immigrants have been amazing contributors to our community. >> tucker: right?

>> if you look at some of the data from forward dot u.s. mark zuckerberg's organization. >> tucker: i bet. >> so many of the entrepreneurs who built our tech economy came here through immigration. and we in phoenix are desperate for more people in engineering and computer science. >> tucker: how many big tech companies were started by people from central and south america? latin america? >> so, right now i'm sitting in phoenix, arizona, very close to a company called for tis who was started by a gentleman from panama. it's one of our top engineering companies in this community and think actually are one of our largest employers of at risk veterans. a wonderful success story. >> tucker: i bet he is a great guy and the company is great how many big tech companies were started by the immigrants that you are talking about since you brought it up? how many? >> if you look we have so many success stories in this community and some of them have gotten national attention. >> tucker: okay.

so i just want to be -- with respect, i'm not attacking immigrants. i like immigrants. i'm sure a lot of these people are great people. but people who live here, who are born here who are citizens have the right to know the effects of this. so how many is the optimum number? if bringing in people illegally and makes you more prosperous what's the ideal number we should give citizenship to? >> our country and our community was built by immigration. >> tucker: okay you are not. >> we have some stories in this community. >> tucker: stories. i am asking for facts. i think it's fair to ask for facts. researcher got ahold of the conviction numbers which the government of the state of arizona has hidden from the population because it's lying to the population about the effects of immigration as you know. and he found that illegal immigrants in the state of arizona were more than twice as likely to commit murder and overall far more likely to commit crimes of all kinds. not immigration crimes but violent and property crimes. so given that those are facts, how can you reassure

the residents, legal residents of arizona of all background that this is good for them. i don't understand. >> we in cities throughout our community have seen great success stories when people feel like they can work with the police department and there is trust. so we have had folks who did not have legal immigration status but were willing to work with our police department and have been very important in helping us particular whether i drug-related crimes. >> tucker: but do you acknowledge -- do you acknowledge the reality of what i just said so this study which got ahold of arizona's state numbers, which i think are legitimate, says that people illegally in arizona are far more likely to commit serious crime. do you not believe that? or are you just ignoring it or what's your response to that? >> so i just received the arrest and crime data from the last calendar year 2017 for the city of phoenix. and that wasn't what we found in the city of phoenix. unfortunately, violent crime was led by people who live here and who were born here. >> tucker: that's not the

question. people who were there illegally more likely or less likely to commit serious crimes in the city of phoenix. are you saying they were less likely? i don't think that's what the numbers show. >> our 2017 numbers tell a very different story than the story that that researcher is telling you. >> tucker: so you roux saying just to be clear are you saying have you seen numbers in the city of phoenix people here illegally were less likely to commit serious crimes than citizens? is that what you are saying? i want to get you on the record. >> we need comprehensive immigration reform. >> tucker: oh, you are slipping out of the question. i am asking a very simple question and you are not giving me a real answer and i think that tells the whole story. thanks for joining us. i appreciate it? >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: democrats apparently realized cutting off paychecks for military servicemen on behalf of millions of people here illegally might be a hard sell to voters. for months we have been hearing that the government could shut down if republicans refuse to continue daca without any concessions. in november, for example,

congressman luis gutierrez bluntly said we want a clean dream act in return for funding the government. in other words, just give them amnesty. just a week ago "the washington post" was totally unambiguous on this question. quote: the thorniest issue they said holding up funding agreement is democrats demand daca recipients be protected. everyone knew that no one denied it. and yet oddly with the shut down imnegligent, democrats are abruptly changing their story. the issue they say now is healthcare, somehow. today democratic leader nancy pelosi said the real issue is that the republicans won't permanently extend the chip program, that's the federal health insurance quote: this isn't about dreamers, she said during a press conference at the capitol. this is about what isn't there to help meet the health needs of the american people. does anyone believe that? no, no one believes that because it's not true. america isn't the only country with the major political split over the question who comes in and under what circumstance. it's not the only country

where their leaders boldly lie to its own people about the effects of that immigration. yesterday, for example, in sweden, a police station was hit by a grenade attack. that's more common than it has been, explosive attacks have, well, exploded in the past few years as sweden has welcomed a massive number of immigrants into its once famously placid society this has caused a lot of effects, some of them political we recently spoke to a an iranian immigrant to sweden who may be unlikely as it is has become a leader, a celebrated one in the push for tougher immigration laws there. watch. >> what is the problem with sweden's immigration system now? >> so, there are many problems that's very hard to define one. but the biggest problem is the amount of immigrants that are coming in. in the last couple of years, we have taken in about 250,000 asylum seekers. and for comparison that would be like america taking

in about 8 or 9 million asylum seekers. this is people that sweden provides housing, healthcare, schooling, and all these big allot of these expensive services that the sveda official welfare system gives to people. this has created, of course, a large of huge costs in the short run for the swedish system but also, when we look at long term, what we're seeing now with crime and poverty is the effects of having a very lack migration system for 10, 15 years ago. and what we're seeing now with basically ghettos and street gangs, which is a phenomenon that hasn't never been even heard of in sweden and also jihaddists traveling abroad, et cetera, these are problems that are new to sweden. and sweden's system is not

capable of, you know, it's not capable and is not designed to handle these problems. for example, in unemployment, i mean, in 2006, about 20% of the people unemployedy immigrants and foreign born. today that number is up to 60%. so. >> tucker: you are an immigrant from a muslim family and, yet, have you taken a hard line against muslim immigration, mass immigration from muslim countries. >> tucker: what's the response been to you. >> if we want to help people, you cannot put so much pressure to the system that the system collapse under its own weight. the response i have been having because i'm, you know, merely putting the statement out that is saying, look, there is a limit to how many people you can take in, have been to call me basically uncle tom, house [bleep] i have been

compared to dr.. this is not from random people on the street. these are people who are prominent posts and parties and left in newspapers this is of course because i don't tell them the wishful thinking that they want to hear we are very familiar with that in this country. you are a brave man. thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >> tucker: that man could be the next prime minister of sweden. nancy pelosi says the republican party want to foisst something on the american people. might support a government shut down. mark steyn is here to clear the air. ♪ each year sarah climbs 58,007 steps.

>> tucker: congressman is on the brink of a shut down literally tomorrow. nancy pelosi won't admit that because that would be admitting the democrats are shutting the government down because republicans refuse to legalize people here illegally. she is claiming democrats want to shut the government down because the republican party is trying to do something repulsive. this is like giving you bowl of doggy doo and put a cherry on top and call it chocolate sundae, this is nothing. >> meanwhile over on cnn chris cuomo says the republican party is guilty of the horrifyin horrifying sinf

vilifying people and demanding rights and money. here he. >> you guys have a pretty intentional effort to make illegal immigrants as you call them monsters fictionalizes the risk of terror that is represented by people who come into this country illegally. we understand that that's against the law. we understand it has to stop. but why make them all in to villains? >> tucker: mark steyn is an author and columnist and actual thinker and he joins us tonight. so, marc, when people like the guy we just showed put air quotes around the phrase illegal immigrant. what does that mean? are you not allowed to admit they are imgrating illegally? >> yeah. i think he doesn't recognize that category. what's interesting is that both he and nancy pelosi and others are on that side of the aisle are getting ever

more explicit in their preference forrism legal immigrants so-called as he would say over american citizens. he said, chris cuomo went on to say that the real problem is white supremacists in america. they are the real monsters. not these nice hard working illegal immigrants. that may be well and true. i mean, for the purposes of argument let's say he is right, it's irrelevant. the white supremacists are american citizens. the illegal immigrants are people who shouldn't be here. and every -- the organizing principle of nation states is that they organize on behalf of their citizens whether they are citizens are here to cleared or white supremacists or whatever. you're stuck with them. and this preference that nancy pelosi and chris cuomo and increasing people have for actually importing a class of citizen that they prefer to the ones they are

stuck with is actually very revealing. >> tucker: how can you lead a country whose population you despise? i mean, would you be a good parent if you hated your kid? would you be an effective officer if you didn't care about the safety of your men? doesn't that kind of prima facie show that you are not ready to lead if you don't love the people you are leading? >> no. i mean, you said what about parents and kids? every family, i think it was malcolm who said that friends are god's apology for relatives. in other words, you pick your friends. you're stuck with your relatives. the democrats are getting very close to saying that foreigners are god's apology for americans. nancy pelosi has explicitly said that we should thank the parents of these so-called daca people for bringing them here illegally. to go back to what your swedish guest was saying,

you know, whatever the economic benefits, which are minimal and not evenly distributed, the cultural transformation, which is what is happening in sweden, other parts of europe, in other words what is happening in arizona, too, that's forever. in arizona a majority of the grade school children now are hispanic. that means arizona's future is as an hispanic society that means in effect the border has moved north. and the cultural transformation outweighs any economic benefits that lady was talking about. >> tucker: at the very least bewildering for people who grew up here and that's real. i don't think have you to be animated by hate. maybe i should have some say in how my country evolves. mark, thank you very much. >> thanks a lot, tucker. >> tucker: more evidence that the las vegas shooter steven paddock may not have acted alone. not a conspiracy theory. there is evidence of that. tonight, one person fresh off walking the crime scene has news on that

many mysteries and some new developments in that case. just two days ago a lawyer for the las vegas police indicated new charges could be forthcoming. odd. since the only suspect is dead. detectives though saying very little. catherine lombardo was an

attorney representing the victims of las vegas she joins us with scott perry of pennsylvania who says he has got concerns about how this is going. first to you, catherine. what do you know? >> >> yes, we had court two days ago it was the hearing for the press where they asked the court to release the search warrants and affidavits and returns which means all of the evidence, right? so what we heard was quite shocking and quite surprising. now, you have to remember that sheriff lombardo with the las vegas metro police has told us at his briefings that steven paddock was the lone shooter. he was the only shooter. however, at the hearing we heard two things. one, that there will be no indictments coming for any murder or shooting; however, they are investigating other charges and crimes. they wouldn't say who. they wouldn't say what. the entire courtroom took a gasp and looked up and went silent for a second. even the judge rawcketted

and the judge said something like okay, without telling me who or what, are you saying to me that there will be other charges forthcoming and the lawyer for the police said yes there are other charges being investigated. the judge pressed him on that and he said within 60 days. what the judge did was asked him for further supplemental briefing to explain to her what that contains, who it is, what's it's about. you see, we're asking and the press is asking for the documents, the evidence to be released since there is no ongoing criminal investigation. >> tucker: that would be nice. answer a basic question such as how is i object tierier door locked inside the hotel suite. you are the only member of congress i'm aware of taken a public position asking questions about this. what are your questions? >> well, i smell a rat like a lot of americans do. nothing is adding up. it's been four months. the man is dead.

they said is he a lone shooter yet we can't get the autopsy results. even more troubling than that, recently i have been made aware of what i believe to be credible evidence, credible information regarding potential terrorist infiltration through the southern border regarding this incident. >> tucker: terrorists? >> yes, sir. >> tucker: connections. what's the outline of that? >> well, they could be isis twice before the attack. isis warned the united states that they would attack las vegas in june and august after the attack claim responsibility four times. meanwhile the local law enforcement investigative services are telling us there is no terrorist connection lone gunman, again, something is not adding up. >> tucker: that's part of my confusion, catherine, can you just confirm this investigation is still being overseen by state and local authorities rather than federal? >> that's right. the fbi and the las vegas metro police department have been conducting the investigation.

we have seen no evidence of a terrorist attack. i will ask with all due respect, congressman, unless have you specific evidence to back that up, it seems a bit irresponsible to make that allegation so, if you do, or make that assertion, if do you have any evidence of that, i'm asking you right now to share it with us and tell us what that is. my client. >> i'm not able. >> my client, victims, all 22,000 people have been waiting and waiting and waiting for evidence. >> tucker: let's let the congressman respond to that. >> we have all been waiting. i'm waiting, too. like i said nothing adds up. i'm telling you i have received what i feel to be and believe to be credible evidence of a possible terrorist nexus. >> what is it. >> we have to wait until that situation develops. >> tucker: slow down for one second. i'm not taking a position on this either way. i want to dig down a little bit here. if that is your belief, does congress have a role to play in this. >> i don't know that congress has a role. i think who does have a role is the national counter terrorism center. and if isis claims -- if

isis warns about an attack and an attack occurs and claims responsibility after the fact. >> tucker: right. >> it seems to me that at a minimum they should have some portion of the investigation to clearly debunk that claim and, yet, it hasn't happened. >> tucker: so tomorrow we are unfortunately out of time but we will be taking a press conference tomorrow out of las vegas by the investigators. hopefully we will learn more and hope we speak to both of you on this. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> tucker: powerful lobbying group wants to roll back. we invited them on. they refused. of course we will discuss it anyway. that's next. ♪ copd makes it hard to breathe.

authoritarian regimes around the world. regimes that cnn presumably has business deals with. consider cnn's relationship with turkey. though nominally turkey is an american ally. it's a member of nato. yet, the turkish president erdogan routinely attacks the united states in far harsher terms than, say, the government of russia ever does. just three days ago presidentered within a accused this country of forming a 30,000 strong terrorist army to attack turkey huh? very clear the u.s. supports isis and says he has video evidence to prove that now, that's lunatic rhetoric and also dangerous. yet, no matter what he does, or says, presidentered within a can rely on totally sympathetic coverage from cnn tucker. that'cnn turk. it broadcast everiered within a speech in entirety even as it denies platform

skates it's not the same. >> i think we should do a half point. could that be a new rule? >> tucker: we have a room full of accountants. and they have said unfortunately we can't count that. >> all right. >> tucker: nice try though. >> thank you. >> tucker: question two. you are about to see the image of a car dangling off the second floor of a dental office. crazy dash cam footage of that incident went viral on the internet this week. the question is how did the car get there? carley? >> okay a little bit of a back story. the guy was arrested. he received a dui. he flew over the median and because of the trajectory ended up in the second story of that dental office. >> tucker: well, that's quite an answer. >> and walked away unscathed. >> tucker: let's see if the tape reflects that. >> santa ana the car hit that median and went airborne and landed right newt second floor of a dental office. the car, there you see it, dangling right off that.

>> right word median. >> tucker: and he walked away? >> nobody in the dental office, i believe and he was, of course, arrested. >> tucker: so you are back to even, status quo, par, zero to zero. question three. >> good to know. >> tucker: a medical briefing a televised one revealed this week that the president is indeed healthy. that didn't stop reporters from fat shaming him, nbc producer asked approve his weight with a very strange request what was it? carley? >> step on a scale. >> tucker: i don't believe that. >> let's see. >> tucker: to the tape. >> a member of msnbc's investigative unit tweeted out this gem. seeing a lot of skepticism over the idea that real donald trump weighs only 239 pounds. we step on a scale in public to prove it?

i did mine on my own and this is what i came up with. so sad you sore lonely and needy you will let google use your face. >> i actually did it this week and the portrait i received that resembles me the most i got 60% match was that of a bald man. >> tucker: let's see i think we did it, too. let's see what we came up with. >> is that me? i don't know how i feel about that. >> tucker: we also did leland. this is the poet robert burns. >> they do you, tucker. >> actually i'm not aware yet. >> he does have very nice hair. just took our fox i.d. badge. >> from the 90's. >> tucker: last question. it's multiple choice. actress and comedian betty white had a birthday yesterday. she credits her longevity to her love of hot dogs and vodka naturally.

a complete -- it was crazy town. it was nuts. and she told me that if it was real, that she probably would die and i said i would never marry again. i might live with a model, but i wouldn't marry. >> tucker: isn't your wife already a model. >> no, no. she is a designer. i said i would visit her wherever she was laid to rest provided it was near the surf and decent restaurant. >> tucker: those would be your last words to her. >> i'm joking but i have got to tell you she was so lucky i wasn't there. because she is pretty calm. i'm the kind of person in a disaster movie that the hero slaps. you know, get yourself together. i'm the guy that eats all the rations on the first day. i'm not even that hungry. but alayna was very calm. and it was not a fun experience. she watched mothers, you know, weeping over the phone about -- because they are not going to see their kids again. and she saw families dragging their children crying.

it was salute chaos. >> tucker: this is a sincere question though. that's a profound experience. most people don't face imminent death in their lifetime people who do are changed by it. that's real. was she changed by it? do you think the stakes are going to be different? i'm not joking at all. >> do you think the state is different or she is different? >> tucker: the people that went through this. >> here is a big problem i said this on the five. we don't care about enough about these events because nothing happened. a close call is almost no different than it actually happening. but huge being we don't see it that way. so it's almost a distant memory. in the same way that we don't talk about vegas anymore. vegas didn't have a part 2. so we parted ways with that story. and this story has no part 2. we don't know what's going on right now. so we have moved on and plus there is a lot of news going on. i think this is really really important story. the hawaii emergency management, i mean, they put -- you don't put a missile notification menu flex to your don ho play

list. this is serious business. you don't just reassign somebody. you got to look at the whole system. and as long as we -- if we don't put pressure on this, it will go away and nothing will change. and they have to take this seriously. and i talk to people a lot of people who were there afterwards and they were -- they had -- they had changed. because when you live an event like that you never forget that you thought your family was going to die. you never forgot that. >> tucker: there is upside of that actually. it puts things in perspective. i'm not making light of this. it's horrifying. i'm glad i didn't go through it there is a blessing in. >> there i'm glad i wasn't there i would have embarrassed myself beyond belief. >> tucker: i don't know about that. >> i panic when i have gas. my wife would have left me if we had lived. >> tucker: alayna was pretty great already. are you going gutfelgreg gutfel.
