tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News January 25, 2018 5:00pm-6:00pm PST
5:00 pm
tomorrow night at 7:00. we hope to see you then. have a good night, everybody. tucker carlson is up next. >> tucker: well, good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we have exclusive never-before seen text messages between the fbi between sent between peter strzok and lisa page between february and september of 2016. a lot of them are interesting. they did what they hoped you wouldn't do expressing concern if hillary clinton would take revenge against the fbi for the crime of investigating her. in exchange from february of 2016, agent page told agent
5:01 pm
strzok, one more thing, she may be our next president. the last thing you need is us loaded for bear. do you think she cares it's more doj so political concerns were atop of mind as they investigated this politician, hillary clinton. we have a congressman here to join us. are we reading too deeply into the exchange we just put on the screen, do you think? >> um, i don't think so. you read that in isolation. if you read all the texts it's clear they did not want her charge. they wanted her to be the president of the united states. they really didn't want donald trump to be the president of the united states and conceded through the texts they did things differently in this investigation from any other investigation they were a part of.
5:02 pm
>> tucker: what i don't understand is even if you're watching at home and think i wanted hilary to win too and i wanted donald trump to win too, shouldn't we be concerned they were worried about the political element of the investigation? that's not supposed to happen, is it? >> you may remember, as i do, james comey they don't give a witt about politics. our friends on the left saying these are texts between two lovers. you're more likely to tell the truth when you don't think anybody else is watching. this is the unvarnished truth how they viewed her, him and the investigation and how they wanted it to turn out. keep in mind, tucker, all of this is done before she was ever interviewed. so the fix was in. unfortunately before they even interviewed the target of the investigation.
5:03 pm
>> tucker: what does it tell you they thought of hillary clinton? they believed if she became president she'd punish the chief law enforcement agency for investigating her. >> it's either that or another reasonable construction is she'd award the doj thinking it's more doj lawyers concluding she should not be charged rather than fbi. that's how i read it, she'd give more credit to the department of justice. keep in mind in the texts, it doesn't seem anyone wanted her charged before they read what she was going to take and doj would get more credit than the bureau. >> tucker: you've taken an enormous amount of abuse as the channel for daring to report the news as if asking questions about the behavior of law
5:04 pm
enforcement official unpatriotic. >> no one has more respect than law enforcement for us. i spent 18 years work with them and it's the best years of my life. these texts break my heart. by -- bias is insidious. so when i see manifest bias -- you know, think back to other important cases in our country as a history. mark furman got in trouble for racial epithets uttered earlier in his career. that's how seriously we take bias. i don't know why the left can't concede these two agents should never have been part of investigating her case. >> tucker: you would think most fbi agents are liberal.
5:05 pm
they're probably conservative. i'd be willing to bet money on that. if you allow the fbi to let agents make decisions on the basis of political beliefs maybe we all have an interest in clean and ethical government but they don't seem to have an interest in that right now, why? >> i don't know. i don't like political bias manifesting it in a political or bank robbery case. this is an incredibly, politically charged case as was and is the russia investigation. bias is even more important in a case like this. i don't know why the left is straining to minimize the manifest bias that was exhibited by these agents. i don't get it. >> tucker: i'm sorry to say, have you totally unprincipled people with you up there. congressman, thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: one of his colleagues on the house intelligence
5:06 pm
committee is democrat adam schiff of california. he accused us of being agents of vladamir putin. look into the camera and say for a fact i know the government of vladamir putin was behind the hacks of podesta. >> i know it for a fact -- >> tucker: of john podesta's e-mails. >> tucker: and europe. >> tucker: say you know they hacked john podesta's e-mail. >> you're carrying water for the kremlin. >> tucker: look, you're on the intel committee and you can't say they hacked -- >> you'll have to move your show to russian television. >> tucker: that's so beneath your office because it's so dumb and you're being due plis -- we know for a fact the government
5:07 pm
did and that you're hiding behind weasel words. >> tucker: that guy's a liar and demagogue. we have a columnist for the wall street journal asking about the trump dossier. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: so i'm annoyed by adam schiff. you have an emotional distance from this. tell us your concern about his behavior as a member of the intel committee. >> the intelligence committee is an oversight committee and they're charged with getting information, keeping tabs on the government. this man seems determined not to get information and certainly not to get it to the american people. when the republicans put together their memo outlining
5:08 pm
some of the information they found from the fisa application and so forth, he was asked on cnn shouldn't the american people see this and offered for the nathan jesup response in a few good men, you can't handle the truth. he doesn't trust the american people. the bias is towards disclosure. there are legitimate things that should not be disclosed but we make unclassified summaries of classified information all the time. remember, he fought the subpoenas of justice and of the fbi. he fought the subpoena for fusion that led to the news that the hilary campaign funded the dossier. >> tucker: it was democrats, frank church of idaho, for example, arguing the public deserves the broad outline of what the law enforcement is
5:09 pm
doing and it's our country. we have a right to know. democrats used to say that all the time. when did they stop and why? >> to me there are two big issues. i want to know whether people on the trump campaign colluded with russia and if the law enforcement agencies put their finger on the scale for political reasons. both candidates were under investigation for some reason by the fbi. it's extraordinary. it's finding out the truth and we have a lot of people -- when the memo was produced and it came out it had the #release the memo. congressman schiff was blaming it on russian box. what does it tell you when russian box is more for disclosure than a congressman on the house intel committee. >> tucker: we've invited him many time to come on and explain
5:10 pm
that and how he found himself basically practicing mcarthyism. >> he's always on the tv saying he found more than circumstantial evidence. it sounds like o.j.'s promise to find the real killer. >> tucker: he hasn't been here since december 7. we're keeping track. thank you very much for that. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: the white house has a new immigration plan and there's criticism. the leader of one left-wing group oppose the president's proposal. and a new picture that could have changed the 2008 election but no one was allowed to see it. for the first time you'll sight and -- you'll see it and meet the man holding it. that's ahead. each year sarah climbs 58,007 steps.
5:11 pm
that's the height of mount everest. because each day she chooses to take the stairs. at work, at home... even on the escalator. that can be hard on her lower body, so now she does it with dr. scholl's orthotics. clinically proven to relieve and prevent foot, knee or lower back pain, by reducing the shock and stress that travel up her body with every step she takes. so keep on climbing, sarah. you're killing it. dr. scholl's. born to move.
5:12 pm
yeah, i thought so, too, but rocket mortgage gave me control of the mortgage process. i lowered my term and found a payment that fit my budget all from my phone. can i see? what do you think? oh, do i have a little...? rocket mortgage by quicken loans. get approved in as few as 8 minutes. rocket mortgage by quicken loans. get ready for centrum micro-workouts. the bottle curl. the twist n' turn. the stretch n' grab. the gummy squish. centrum micronutrients fuel your body from the inside out. grab a centrum and join in. repeat daily.
5:14 pm
>> tucker: white house released an immigration proposal trading amnesty for 2 million people in change for new border security measures and changes to chain migration and the end to a lottery and for more it was immediately attacked by almost everyone specially the left saying it was a white supremacist ransom letter. and "the new york times" piled
5:15 pm
it on as a heartless tempt to slam immigrants. and tech overlords like mike zuckerberg are pushing for amnesty. the facebook ceo made a post on his website urging everybody to call members of congress and demand a letter on daca. saying dreamers are members of our community, zuckerberg said, there's 800,000 living in fear with no ability to plan for the future. we have president of the forward.u.s. thank you for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> the response is amazing. the government said we're willing to accept 2 million amnesties. that's more man the dreamer population. here's the response they got, the dreamer advocacy group it's
5:16 pm
a white nationalist ransom note and some called it a benefit to white supremacists. how is it a plan to let in 2 million almost exclusively non-white immigrants is racist. that's insane to me. >> we don't know everything in the plan. these are the groups that wanted amnesty for the dreamers and they call it white supremacy. >> it's a whole package of immigration reform. i think the salient point people are responding to is it's a 50% cut to legal immigration. >> tucker: hold on, i don't think that's right -- >> i'm happy to explain -- >> tucker: i hope you will. >> by cutting five of seven of the family-based immigration say 50% cut to legal immigration. >> tucker: now you don't know what you're talking about or
5:17 pm
your misleading on purpose. the proposal i just read and talked to the guy that wrote it it ends the adversity lottery but reallocates the green cards to those in the backlog of people applying to come here. >> that's why he tricked you and i'm glad it came up. it reallocates 50,000 visas a year of the cut for the family-based immigration cut it ends that. >> tucker: that's not true. there's no net loss -- we're t getting knee -- into the weeds of the plan. you're dodging my question which is the point is this say plan that gives amnesty to more people than we thought the daca representatives were asking for and they're calling it white supremacy. do you think it's a fair
5:18 pm
criticism. is this a feature of white supremacy. >> i don't want to respond to other people's words. it acknowledges which is what 80% of americans believe, dreamers should be able to earn citizenship. >> tucker: that's what it gave, isn't it? >> you talked about this, you call it chain migration. people call it the family-based immigration system. i don't understand why if we agree dreamers should be able to stay, why should dreamers only be protected from deportation if we cut legal immigration. >> tucker: so you're wrong, most persons believe you ought to let the people who just got amnesty bring their relatives. there was a harvard poll that showed overwhelmingly were against that and you know whose really against that, african american voters. >> do you have a poll? >> tucker: i have it. 85% of black voters on
5:19 pm
immigration policy believe it should be based on merit not relatives in the u.s. 85%. >> i think it's important to talk about when we say what do we mean. this bill doesn't add anything to the merit-based side. >> tucker: you're dodging my question. you're up set because it could cut chine -- chain migration and i'm showing polls that most americans are not in favor. >> if we let dreamers stay why does it have to come with a 50% cut to illegal immigration. it doesn't help me or middle-class americans. >> tucker: we can debate that. you don't have numbers to show the current immigration helps them. but a system that lets them in purely because they have a relative that is chain migration and they don't want nap
5:20 pm
the public doesn't want it. 85% of black voters don't want it and the majority of hispanic voters and 80% of all voters don't want it. >> you show an immigrant comes in -- >> tucker: i don't see the ads. >> they're mislead. we should be clear. you talk about dreamers going through the process -- >> tucker: you're not going to acknowledge the poll, are you? >> that's not what the poll says. >> tucker: you think the majority of americans support chain migration. >> you can poll terms all you want, tucker -- >> tucker: how about this one, 85% of and african american voters think it should be based on merit not relatives. that's the definition of chain migration. >> are you saying we should shift to a more skills base or cut. >> tucker: i think we should only let people in who benefit
5:21 pm
america on a case-by-case basis. >> the government should approve every immigrant one by one. >> tucker: of course. the way harvard screens applicants, where you went. >> it's conservative. >> tucker: i live here and so do my kids. i want the best people to come. >> i do too. we can agree on that. >> tucker: last week we welcomed a guest to discuss whether chicago should be a sanctuary city and we had a spirited exchange. do you think have you an obligation to represent american citizens first above people who are here illegally? >> i represent my citizens very well, thank you. >> tucker: okay -- you aren't going to say. let's try a second one. >> because they have to be
5:22 pm
blue-eyed and blond for your america. >> tucker: what a loathsome little demagogue you are to say that. so i lost my temper but he pushed me. we have another guest not in the city's efforts to protect citizens from american law. thank you for coming on tonight. so i didn't mean to get into such a bitter debate with your colleague but i was asking how it helps the american citizens in chicago to do this and he called me a bigot in response. let me ask you the same question, does it help people from chicago on the immigration policies. >> of course not, it doesn't help one bit. >> tucker: so what's the point of it? i thought the point of representing a constituency was to look out for the voters. >> that's how i feel. we represent the people who live
5:23 pm
in our community and city and people here, i believe, you have to be here legally. i certainly don't believe in sanctuary cities. >> i love chicago and everyone who visits it. there's great people, great food, beautiful city but like all cities it has actual problems, financial problems, crime problems. you can't convince me all the political energy spent on catering to people who shouldn't be here, that's got to detract from making the city better for everyone else. >> we have a serious mental health issue in the city and crime problem and wish we'd concentrate on those things opposed to illegals in our city. >> tucker: so your mayor's all in and alderman are all in. what's the motive? >> i couldn't explain the motive. it's the mayor and alderman supporting the sanctuary. there's two of us that don't
5:24 pm
support the sanctuary city. >> tucker: but they've left of the south side of your city become uninhabitable. what do the people in all the violence don't like it? >> you'll have to get one of my colleagues from the south side, tucker. i know it bothers me. i think the money could be better spent. if we stick with our sanctuary city policies we could lose $1 million of federal funds. i'm concern about that. >> tucker: you can't afford it. thanks for coming on and what you do for your great city. >> thanks, tucker. more than 1,000 private jets have landed in davos, switzerland to discuss how they can make you pay for global warming. irony alert in the background, mark stein is here to assess it. talsee if lyrica can help.
5:27 pm
i'm also on a lot of medications that dry my mouth. i just drank tons of water all the time. it was never enough. i wasn't sure i was going to be able to continue singing. i saw my dentist. he suggested biotene. it feels refreshing. my mouth felt more lubricated. i use biotene rinse twice a day and then i use the spray throughout the day. it actually saved my career in a way. biotene really did make a difference. [heartbeat]
5:28 pm
>> tucker: the world economic forum in davos, switzerland is going on as we speak. you weren't invited. 1,000 private jets have showed up spewing vast amounts of carbon. despite this, global warming is a big topic in davos why it always is when rich people gather and many are claiming we need drastic actions.
5:29 pm
and we have a friend of the show to assess. i like how it works. i fly in my private pain and you have to stop eating hamburgers and walk and it balances out. >> this is a the way these guys plan. somehow they will still get to jet around like al gore and his private plane going to world conferences, leonardo dicaprio and you'll be beating your laundry on the rocks with the village women getting your clothes dry because the washer and dryer are destroying the planet. the fact they all meet in a remote luxury swiss ski resort. you said most aren't invited because it's stakeholders and
5:30 pm
90% of the slumps don't have a stake in it but cate blanchett is a stakeholder receiving an award. they should have given an award for the awareness of refugees because there were so many it wasn't safe for the ladies to go out at night. i we don't need cate blanchett to raise awareness. >> tucker: you have at davos the leaders of the world's largest democracies and political leaders and how many do you think really believe in democracy for real? >> i don't think they do and that's what's fascinating they regard things like the trump election and brexit and the rice of the new leader in france as
5:31 pm
aberrations and proof democracy has to be moderated by all the sensible clever people getting together in a swiss ski resort kind of like the blowfeld doing the specter round table at the top of the mountain in the bond film on her majesty's secret service if you're keeping in touch with your world con sp spir -- conspirators and decide the measures to ameliorate the voice of the people because it's vulgar and keeps voting for trump and brexit. >> tucker: don't you think the people involved should be impressive and self aware and smart? >> i think so. it's become a third-rate pseudocelebrity event. they're all the people with
5:32 pm
private jets. it's a class thing so there's saudi princes and trashy celebrities and powerful business leaders. at heart it is an anti-democratic bias. you said hamburgers cause global warming. every time you eat a sausage and egg mcmuffin a polar bear loses its ice flote so the entire planet could be kaput because that causes global warming. >> tucker: next january, you and i are going. let's do a show. that would be so cool. >> and we'll go on your personal "tucker carlson tonight"
5:33 pm
official mcmuffin flying plane. >> tucker: next year in davos. >> thanks, tucker. could a secret photo of barack obama have changed the 2008 election? it's a real question. we have the photo. it just came out and for the first time we'll talk to the person who took the photo and why you've never seen it before. lease the 2018 es 350 for $339/month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. so, howell...going? we had a vacation early in our marriage that kinda put us in a hole. go someplace exotic? yeah, bermuda. a hospital in bermuda.

>> in the congressional black caucus meeting room. if you look closely you can see a sticker hc9 a caucus room in the basement of the capital where meetings are held and that's where it took place. >> tucker: why have we never seen this picture before? >> a couple things. i was honor-bound. a member from the black caucus said we have to have the picture back and a was taken aback and i said okay, i'll give the picture to minister farrakhan 's chief f staff and gave the original disk to him and in a sense swore
5:39 pm
myself to secrecy because i made a copy for my life. it's my picture, my art, my intellectual property. >> tucker: but why would they not want the picture to come out? >> not so much the nation of islam but perhaps the black caucus. this was 2005, now. he'd just been in the office a few months. the idea -- and in fact he had people from the nation of islam working on his staff and office in chicago. the members of the nation of islam helped him in his senate campaign on the south side of chicago. i think as people considered the ambitions, the thought was minister farrakhan and his reputation would hurt someone trying to win acceptance in the
5:40 pm
broad cross section. >> tucker: did he have contact with anyone from the nation of islam as senator that you know of? >> as i recall there was a member of the nation of islam in chicago worked on his staff in his constituent services office but i never knew her name. at some point she was no longer on his staff. i don't think it was an acrimonious departure. >> tucker: were louis farrakhan or members of the nation offend president obama wanted to distance himself. >> they were. some were angry and some hurt. not only did senator obama denounce minister farrakhan but rejected him.
5:41 pm
in the same interview appearing with senator clinton. when asked rejected the support of some people she considered in new york when she was in the senate and demanded he do the same. he said, okay. i'll reject him too. so people in the nation have a sensitivity about this and feel we've often been made -- minister farrakhan has been a litmus test for people whether it was fair or not, because people who want the acceptability in the crossover, you can say, can't stand the inquisition that comes with being associated with minister farrakhan. >> tucker: i wish it'd come out earlier because it makes for an interesting conversation. thank you for coming on. >> thanks for having me on. >> tucker: thanks for the

5:57 pm
>> tucker: "the new york times" is reporting president trump ordered mueller fired and the some in the white house threaten to quit. a quick programming note, as the debate over immigration has risen to the top of the news, a number of figures on the left have denounced the show as racist. it's notable not a single one of them has offered any evidence to support the slur or rebut the arguments we make every night. they just make loud noise white supremacy. the rest of the media dutifully attack that. the latest to attack the show is bill crystal. now, there's an awful lot of ways to respond to crystal, a former intellectual who is on twitter and we considered them
5:58 pm
but why? he discredited himself years ago that's why he no longer has a full-time job and thought it'd be more edifying to we believe in immigration. the point of our policies is to help americans. watching out for our citizens is the only reason we have a government in the first place. if people in other countries enjoy and benefit from what we do, that's great. that's an added bonus and we welcome that always, but it can never be the main point of what we do. americans are the main point. that's always true no matter what the issue is. when the concerns of foreigners take precedence over the needs of americans, our government is betraying us and has become illegitimate. that's what's been happening. voters understand this and they hate it. that's why they elected trump. election results were a hard slap in the face.
5:59 pm
a rebuke they could not accept and refuse to learn from. instead they decided their own country was irredeemable and its population should be ignored. that's how we wound up with immigration policy most americans don't support because the people making the policy don't care if you support it or not. immigration has upsides. many immigrants are impressive people and add greatly to this country. we know a lot of immigrants like that. we also know some who shouldn't be here. not all immigrants are the same. just like not all college applicants are the same. some are worth admitting, some are not. americans get to decide who makes the cut. it's our country and our call. maybe you believe importing poor people richer and more stable but before you do that and import them, you should explain exactly how that's going to work. you're not allowed to change america profoundly and forever without showing the rest of us
