we'll see if that holds. most-watched, most trusted, and most grateful you spent the evening with us. tomorrow night, special coverage of the state of the union address. for now, good night from washington. i'm shannon bream. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we have exclusive new information tonight about one of the most perplexing mysteries in washington. as you may have heard, andrew mccabe, the deputy director of the fbi, announced today he's leaving his job at the most obvious question is why is he doing that. was he pushed or did he decide to leave himself? you may know mccabe's name because he has been in the news repeatedly over the last several years. in 2016 it emerged that mccabe's wife had taken a large sum of money collected by one of hillary clinton's most closest friends. this is significant because

mccabe led the investigation into hillary clinton's server. the one in which she was exonerated before she was interviewed. mccabe never recused himself from that investigation. so it was andrew mccabe fired today and for the site firing the result of the information contained in the still famous but still mysterious house intelligence committee memo, the one everyone is talking about but nobody outside of congress has read? we decided to find out all we could about that memo. we made a lot of calls, we talked to quite a few people who have read it. here's what we learned. the memo, which is four pages long, primarily describes the abuses of fisa, the law that allows the u.s. government to spy on american citizens for the purpose of stopping foreign threats. only for that purpose. spying on americans is supposed to happen only in extraordinary circumstances, and of course, never for political reasons, that will be a disaster. that is why we have fisa in the first place to prevent that from happening. but that law has been abused in the memo describes how.

"it is shocking, it doesn't answer every question, it is not the final word on anything. but there is definitely enough there for criminal charges." andrew mccabe is indeed mentioned in the memo, a number of our sources confirmed that to us. is that the reason he left our job? we couldn't get a definitive answer. it seems the memo likely played some part in his leaving but in the course of our reporting, we learned something else from the source. mccabe is a subject of at least one internal doj investigation, they may be more than one. doj inspect all -- inspector general michael horowitz has been investigating, and one source told us that his rises nation is likely tied to horwitz's work. other reports say christopher wray propose demoting mccabe over the findings of the inspector general . among the subjects of fisa warrants are described in the memo is carter page, affiliated with the trump campaign is a

foreign policy advisor of some sort. the obama justice department argued before a federal judge, and the memo describes this, that page was an active agent of a hostile foreign government, a spy for vladimir putin. more than a year later, that claim looks absurd. ridiculous, actually, because it is. page has never been indicted for spying for anybody, no evidence has surfaced at all to suggest that is even close to true. by the way, if page is a russian agent, why is he nodded handcuffs? yc and msnbc all the time? the obama justice department was able to surveilled the trump campaign. not a small thing. the memo shows that with the doj wanted to extend spying on carter page they used information from the now discredited steele dossier to make their case. if you can imagine. that was the basis of their request of the federal judge to keep a spying program in place. i was one person familiar with the memo puts it, "the fbi

has been steadily politicize for years and now it is being exposed for efforts to delegitimize a political candidate." now we don't know if that is true. we haven't seen for mama or the documents that supports it. but these are serious allegations. they are more troubling to the underlying, crime and watergate, that is for sure. you don't have to be a voter to understand how these can destroy the country faster than anything else can. but democrats don't care. as of tonight, according to her house until committee staff, about 190 republicans in the hoe outside the intel committee, have read that memo. meanwhile, outside the committee, only about a dozen democratic members have read it. what's interesting, amazing if you think about it, is that though only a few democrats have bothered to read the memo, they are all coming to a person,

adamantly against releasing it. it doesn't matter what they want. the rest of us will be able to make our own judgments about what is anathema very soon. the house intelligence committee voted tonight to declassify it. according to our sources, the entire memo will likely be read into the congressional record early next week. dan bongino is a former secret service agent and an nypd officer and he joins us tonight. great to see you. >> great to be here, tucker. >> tucker: my view from day one, it's about the political use of the intel and law enforcement agencies, not about trump or obama. what we learned today is that it happened. they've been politicized. >> tucker, where the democrats are most? i thought it was the party of civil liberty. you do not have to be a trump supporter to understand that the constitutional republic as we know it cannot continue to exist of the fourth amendment is subject to the r or the d in front of your name by the liberals are hiding right now and they are scurrying when like roaches when the lights come on.

they know what happened. spying on someone in the united states is legal if you can show probable cause, or that someone is acting on behalf of a foreign agent in violation of some united states crime. number of that has been produced to that day, not a single democrat, republican, or anyone else, has produced a scintilla of evidence that anyone on the trump team, we are not talking about process crimes, colluded with the russians to justify an investigation to spy on a candidate for the for the president of the united states of the opposing party. this is devastating. where are the so-called civil libertarians? >> tucker: what could be the rationale for not reading the memo? under current house rules, and a member of the house can go in, you have to go to a secure location, but you can read it, only a dozen democrats out of more than 100 outside of the committee have done that? how could they explain that? >> pierce was going on. the way sensitive classified -- copper metallized -- this

information works, systems are not connected. there is information on certain sources that is not connected to the cloud of the internet. for someone to read that, you have to go to tucker's place. it's not a coincidence that devin nunes, who has an entire scope of what happened, went back in march to the white house facility to be very specific intel that i think is very likely will be in this moment. what am i saying? that information was likely briefed to barack obama. what does that mean? that means it was being used by hillary and all the stuff that was in the dossier and all of the spying was probably being inserted into daily briefs by barack obama. why else would nunes have to go to the white house to read it? >> tucker: of course it was the obama administration that pushed for the surveillance powers over the trump campaign. very quickly, is it possible that trump -- the obama administration officials really

believed that poor carter page, i'm sure you've seen him in his television appearances, was a russian agent? working for vladimir putin? do you think they believe that when they ask for the right to spy on them? >> when you think donald trump or satan, you can convince yourself of anything. >> tucker: that's probably exactly right. nicely put on true. thank you. robert mueller's russian investigation has found very little evidence of the russia collision that supposedly justified it. it has accidentally exposed a lot of political bias in the federal government. some of donald trump's campaign team say they are considering a lawsuit. michael tomato advised trump's presidential campaign and he joins us tonight. michael, thank you for coming on. >> thanks for having become a tucker. it's a pleasure to be here. >> tucker: let me do diligence and ask you, did you see any behavior that suggested collusion or inappropriate contact to the russian government? >> i did not. i will tell you what i told the

house intelligence committee, i saw no russian collusion. i heard no talk of russia. no one ever asked me about the years that i lived in russia, the whole time i was in trump tower, and they didn't use russian dressing. this whole thing is a bogus investigation because hillary clinton needs an excuse for forgetting to go to michigan and wisconsin, and my family gets to pay for it, all the legal fees, to testify before congress probably four times saying the same thing four times over to three different bodies because congress can talk to each other. >> tucker: how much have you had to pay personally to respond to this? >> right now i've only got one hearing under my belt. i've got sent intelligence wanting me for two hearings, and now we hear from dianne feinstein that she wants me at the senate judiciary. each one of those hearings can be $30,000. so i am 30,000 down now. in the end, i'll end up paying legal fees that equal more than

i make in a year. >> tucker: lets horrifying. >> >> it's horrifying. i've got kids to raise. i live in flyover country, tucker. i live in buffalo. we don't make washington money or new york money. this smear first ask questions later mentality of washington is destroying not just my family, but a lot of families. >> tucker: on totally ridiculous grounds, russian agents. that's absurd. what do you make of apparently what the memo says, that the obama administration used allegations of collusion with russia in order to justify surveillance of the trump campaign? >> you know, i listened to what you said as we let up to the segment, and i am just disgusted by it. i got to tell you, i completely expected it. i have been looking forward to this memo coming out ever since i heard of it. thank god for chairman nunes. he has endured so much vitriol and insults from the left trying

to stop him in the suffrage. i will tell you, here is the bottom line, tucker. barack obama weaponize to the department of justice. barack obama politicized the fbi. the fbi is our nation's premier criminal investigation organization. i know a lot of rank and file fbi members. they are all embarrassed. the doj, completely weaponize. we sat with the irs. we saw how the weaponized department of justice went after people like congressman michael graham, dinesh desousa, people like that. it has been on its way to happening for quite some time, and we are the most politicized level of our doj and fbi in my lifetime. >> tucker: it's sure seems that way. i don't know if you can respond to this question because you are the subject of a lot of attention. but carter page, he was the pretext for apparently a lot of this spying on the trump

campaign. i've only seen him during his msnbc interviews. he doesn't look to me like a very credible russian agent. did you ever see any indication that he was speaking to the russians, that he was speaking in russian on a shortwave radio and has adequate? did you think he was a mole? >> we never saw carter page in trump tower. he was like george papadopoulos, a member of a rare v meeting policy committee, volunteers he would come in for one day. he knows about russia, he was in business there. i see them on television, i see them walking away from these inquiries on the hill. i got to tell you, first i was kind of palms up about the guy but now i feel really bad about him. now when i'm hearing about this memo, i feel really angry for him. >> tucker: he said today to one of our producers at fox news that he welcomes the release of the memo. i bet he does. >> i will tell you what, if

anybody needs to get justice out of this, it is guys like carter page. >> tucker: i agree. i think he's been shafted. great to see you. thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: the meeting movement continues to expose some of its biggest advocates, . can hillary clinton's former campaign chair has confirmed in public that clinton intervened to protect a harasser against the wishes of women on her staff. you couldn't make that up if you tried. we've got details next. ♪ take care of you. this week all dell pcs are up to twenty five percent off! save even more when you purchase a dell monitor. and make sure you protect your investment. office depot® officemax. officedepot.com

there was sexual harassment involved, that the young woman, very credible, my recommendation to the senator was to fire him, and i was overruled. >> she overrode you personally? >> i was overruled, yes. >> tucker: wow. meanwhile, hillary also praised women in a video that we won't characterize but instead play and you can decide for yourself. >> hey, everyone. i just wanted to say thanks, thanks for your feminism, for yourem activism, and all i can hope as you keep up the really important, good work. and let me just say, this is directed to the activist [bleep]s supporting this. let's go! >> tucker: mark steyn is on tonight to receive thanks for his feminism and his activism. he's an author and a columnist and he joins us tonight.

hey, mark. >> hey, tucker. good to see. >> tucker: what you make of that video? >> that last one is kind of pathetic because it's like watching some weird golden girl" you've got old broad's, betty white doing a rapid granny routine. it's kind of pathetic, the kind of old broads talking dirty thing. it's particularly -- it's not justy. pathetic, but it's actuay ridiculous on the day that hillary has been exposed yet again, not as a champion of women, but as an enabler of men who prey on women. >> tucker: that is the thing, it was not the naughty word that bug me. she's got a salty mouth, i kind of like that about her, the one thing i like about her. what a bothered me is that she describedd herself as a feminist and i'm thinking, compared to you, i'm the feminist. if there was some guy on my

office, who was harassing women, i would canned him. how does she get to be the feminist? >> he would almost have the impression that if you turned a blind eye to one creditor for 40 years, it becomes very easy to turn a blind eye to all of them. in that sense, how does what she shares with those people at the grammy awards. it's a power thing. it's a class thing and it's a power thing. that is the way it is always been. the women that bill clinton hit on, whether they were interns, or whether they were low-grade staffers, she regarded them as trash. her advisors said, you drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park, there is no telling what you'll find. and that is what she and guys like harvey weinstein are all agreed on. it's a problem for the democratic party. kirsten gillibrand, who is apparently serious about running for president, was on tv, i

think it was today or yesterday, and she was doing her thing, "believe all women, zero tolerance," and then she was asked, what about hillary clinton? she still is worried that the clintons are powerful enough to take a tire iron to her in the back alley. it would be in the interest of the democratic party for them to tell hillary clinton, stop doing your catskills, let in scott, catskills shtick on tv every 10 minutes, and go to the falkland islands for the next te years and you might give us a sporting chance. >> tucker: [laughs] n catskills shtick. it took 48 years for me to hear that phrase but i'm so glad it was worth the wait. >> tucker, politicians shouldn't do comedy. if they do it, they should do it once every 30 or 40 years. hillary is doing every show. she should say, i'm not going to

do it again until the year 2057. she'd be giving us all a favor. >> tucker: mark steyn, you've done us a favor. thank you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: julie alban's digital lifestyle director at "time" and she joined us tonight. thanks for coming on. i know you're a feminist and i think you are smart. >> i hear you are feminist these days. >> tucker: compared to hillary, i am a feminist. that is the kind of striking thing. at a certain point, you think about, what does it mean to be a feminist? i thought it was equality for women, if someone attacks women, you stand up for women. if those are the qualifications, then i certainly qualify, and to think it's about abortion. the more you are a portion, the you are feminist. is that true? >> i think you are missing the point. if these allegations against burns strider are true, that is not something i can defend, that is disappointing and i would hope that she would make a

different decision today.om that is not something that i am going to defend her for. >> tucker: but why is it not appalling? you say you won't defend this, why is it not discussed in? female campaign manager, who i think is a person of good faith, unless she is lying, said, you've got to fire this guy. he's hassling this woman. hillary said if it was anybody else, wouldn't wear say that is wrong? >> it is wrong. i believe she should a fire this man.ir we are seeing people across media and hollywood and government facing repercussions are losing their jobs in the wake of this huge sexual harassment that we are learning about. i will make the point that our president has been accused by 19 women of behavior like this and he remains the president of united states. that aside -- >> tucker: true. you're right. and he said the other day, i'm not a feminist. that does not give him a pass but at least he's not a hypocrite. but hillary puts up with her

husband, who was accused of d r rape, and she puts up with the guy in the office, i don't get it. >> if you would like to call yourself a feminist, i would ask if you passed but no ceilings initiative that put $600 million -- >> i'm not a member of congress butin i treat actual, living won well and she doesn't. >> i believe this is a huge --or this is an error, a black mark on her record, it's disappointing. i'm not defending that action. >> tucker: . a guy who was accused of rape. she was never in congress except for a term and a half of a senator. here's the point. she and a number of different proven provable ways and instances, she attacks woman why to report sexual harassment by her husband, she made excuses for a guy accused of rape.

if i did that, i would expect to be attacked. she's lauded as a feminist. what can't you do if you are hillary to lose your feminism label? >> i think she has been attacked for the way she has behaved in a situation. again, i think it is upsetting and disappointed that she didn't have this personal move from a campaign. there's questions about the way she acted toward her husband's some of thathough has not been corroborated. it does not erase a lifetime of service for women when it comes to equal pay, women's health care, education. >> tucker: you like the legislation. would you sayld ted kennedy, who killed a woman, was he a feminist? >> i don't know that i could comment on ted kennedy's feminism. >> tucker: when heent died, he was lovingly written about, eulogized by the left as a champion of women and i thought, there were good o parts about td kennedy, i kind of liked him but he killed a woman, he literally killed a woman. then he lied about it. how to sync it to be a feminist?

>> i'm not calling him a feminist. i'm calling hillary clinton a feminist. >> tucker: you've got to call me one, too. >> i don't know. you have to prove it to me. >> tucker: okay. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> tucker: the trump administration is willing to provide a path to citizenship for dreamers, millions of them. so why are progressives shrieking and calling it racist? one of them joins us next. ♪ and had geico help with renters insurance- it was really easy. easy. that'd be nice. phone: for help with chairs, say "chair." phone: for help with bookcases, say "bookcase." bookcase. i thought this was the dresser? isn't that the bed? phone: i'm sorry, i didn't understand. phone: for help with chairs, say "chair." does this mean we're not going out? book-case. see how easy renters insurance can be at geico.com.

compliments. i'm serious. i want to ask you an overview question. the year i was born, 1969, the united states had 202 million country.ving in this 2015, the population had gone to 324 million, more than 60% increase. three years later, even higher. 2,065, it's expected to be at 118% increase. all of that pretty much is due to immigration. my question to you is, what is the right number? immigration shapes the number oi people who are here, it drives that. how many people should live in this country? >> that's a really interesting question. i haven't spent a lot of time thinking through it. i feel like it is certainly one worth discussing and trying to figure out what our policies should be with regard to growth. perfectly rational discussion to have. >> tucker: i said that the central question?

population defines everything in a country. byby the way, the cost of infrastructure, schools, medical care, all of that is directed canonically -- connected directly to immigration and population. why haven't you thought about that? >> what i'm interested in is a much smaller group of people, a very narrow issue, theseea dreamers, and making sure that they have a pathway to citizenship here in the u.s. that has been my focus. i haven't thought -- you clearly think in really bigg ways, and i try to be narrower. >> tucker: just because it's completely change the country that i grew up and in some ways for better, i think, and in some ways for -- he could be debated. some boys definitely for worse. crowding is worse. population is related to that. density matters. here's my question, if you are for the dreamers, then you must be pretty happy with this proposal from the white house, which gives them amnesty.

we were led to believe that all the left wanted was amnesty for these children and i get that. democrats are saying all of their relatives have to come here, too come and get public services. so how does that work? >> [laughs] i don't think anyone is arguing for all of their relatives or for public services. there is a very interesting bill out there, very bipartisan from congressman hurd, a republican, congressman aguilar, a democrat 52 cosponsors, 26 democrats, 26 republicans in the house. it does exactly what we need to do right now, which is focus on dream and making sure dreamers have a pathway to citizenship. border security. that seems like a fair trade. with the trump administration has tried to do, really driven by stephen miller, who seems to be the puppet master on this, is

to try to throw in the kitchen sink here, every -- >> tucker: tried to get control of our borders. that'sng extremist. > it should include border controls. >> tucker: let me ask you a serious question.us i hear from a lot of people that it's in america's economic interest or let these people in. they are largely from mexico, the majority of them are. so if that's true, if a lot of low wage labor makes a country rich, then why isn't mexico ric rich? >> are we talking about the dreamers? >> tucker: i'm talking specifically about the dreamers but you could apply the same question to about a million people we had met every year for the sake of giving employers lower wages, why aren't the countries from which they are coming rich, ifh low-wage way r

is the key to prosperity? >> i don't know about your family but let's look at most american families and look at how they got here through immigration, which is that people come to the united states because of what it says on the statue of liberty. they are coming for economic opportunity, they are coming because they are fleeing despotism, this is not the irish round up, the italians, the chinese -- >> tucker: i'm sorry. i'm asking a simple question about the people who live here now and a lot of them are from other countries, a lot of really decent immigrants who live here and our citizens. how are all of us going to benefit economically from continued low-wage immigration? i'm not asking whether it is morally great to lead people and, of course it is. i'm asking about the economic benefit. i never get an answer. there isn't one. >> if we look at immigration, it is pretty consistently agreed upon by virtually all economists that immigration significantly benefits the u.s. economy. >> tucker: that's a lie. you shouldn't say that.

those are authoritarian impulses. what is your response? >> my response is that after i got back from the leave, i was assailed in a series of blistering emails. i was attacked roundly for nothing. i never spoke to any of thesetl people by name or directly at all and they started to attack me, calling me racist, sexist, misogynist, satan, short pants white boy, fragile white male, while saying that i was sexist, i was basically pelted with sexistte and racist epithets. >> tucker: [laughs] it is one thing to stand up and take a position that a lot of people disagree with, but to take u a position against everye you work around, it takes a e.ecial kind of courage. i admire that. i wanted to say that to you. good luck in your effort. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> tucker: thanks. a gun-control group is using money on school shootings to

>> ♪ >> ♪ ♪ >> tucker: the press is pushing a totally and intentionally deceptive statistic about a school shootings compiled by the gun-control group every town for gun safety. the group claims that since the new year, less than a month then, there have been 11 school shootings in this country. why haven't you heard about them? naturally it's because mostma aren't school shootings at all. two of them were suicides. one was an accident. one was a bb gun being fired at a school bus window and so on. none of it good for those art

school shootings. despite the lying come with a shooting count has been repeated by "the new york times" ," cnn,, and many other outlets. they used to -- you used to takm seriously because they use to gt their facts right. dana loesch is a spokeswoman for the nra and she joins us tonight. i want to know the stats are. there have been 11 school shootings. how many have there been? dooo you know? >> thank you so much for having me. here's the crazy thing about how they define a school shooting is that they tried to say that this is how the fbi describes mass shootings.be the fbi doesn't actually use the phrase mass shooting. with a use is mass murder or mass killing and even then, they still have a numerical value assigned to that. so the fbi doesn't consider something to be a mass murderer or massde killing unless you are looking at four or more individuals having been killed and that does not include the perpetrator. that does not include the individual who was there killing other people.

so when you look at the numbers being pushed by every town, which has done this over and over again year after year after year, that is in no way accurate. as you were saying, there have been to school shootings this year and it's awful, they are rare, unlike which he repeated often in media and what you have seen in headlines. they are rare. they do not occur often but they do get a lot of media coverage because it is a scary thing. this is what this group wants to do. they want to exploit that and bank on that as a way to inspire fear and everyone so they can push a policy position and fund-raiser on that particular fearmongering. it is just -- it is simply not accurate, the stuff they have done. i want to note, as well, you mentioned all the other media outlets that have repeated this, back in 2014, every town, which a subsidiary of mayors against illegal guns, one of the bloomberg groups, they've done this before. in fact, washington.

regan, a fantastic article about the latest list they have mentioned, they compiled a list of all of these, what they say were school shootings, and tucker, you mentioned in this latest list, they were including incidents, which again, still bad, but it's not a school shooting, not a masculine, where someone fired a bb n gun and it had a bus window. the list they came out within 2014, i went through this, i included it in my first book, "hands off myn gun," they included gang activity that was not on school property. they included an argument between two grown men who were unrelated to a school, happens in a school parking lot, they were arguing over gambling, one of them shot the other. bad, but that does not qualify as a mass killing or mass shooting. >> tucker: you shouldn't lie about it. that is the point, facts matte. i appreciate that you've assembled those facts and are honest. dana, thank you. >> thank you, tucker.

>> tucker: schools aren't getting shot up as often as the left claims but there are other hazards. up next, a california teacher is pretty shocking rant about the military. one student was quick enough to catch it on camera.a. we've got it on tape. with the chase mobile app, michaela deprince could pay practically anyone, at any bank, all while performing a grand jeté between two grand pianos. she could... in a commercial. in real life she uses it to pay her sister, from her couch, for that sweater she stained. what sweater?
