9:01 pm
family when he turned it down. if not the strangest thing that happened in washington right now. tonight we have more on the ongoing saga of the trump dossier. senators chuck grassley and lindsey graham launched a probe into national security advisor susan rice. in the very final minutes of the obama administration just afternoon on inauguration day on 2017 come out rice sent herself an email on the white house computer system. in it she described a meeting she attended two weeks before. atic that meeting were president obama, vice president joe biden, fbi director jim comey, deputy ag sally yates and susan rice herself. according to rice in this email, obama instructed the officials in the room to consider withholding national intelligence from the incoming trump administration in case they were compromised by russia. in other words, almost two months after the presidential
9:02 pm
election, barack obama viewed trump not as is democratically elected successor but as a traitor and a russianan spy. obama viewed himself as someone who had the right to withhold government documents from an elected president. it's not the behavior of someone who believes in democracy. that meeting set the tone for that year and all subsequent arguments since. democrats have treated trump and his election as illegitimate everth since then and at the het of their case against trump and this administration is the steel dossier. it's the only publicly available document that details alleged collusion with russia. we talked a lot about the dossier on this program but relatively little about what is in it. what does it claim? is in the event true? after more than a year of probing by politicians and intelligence agencies and a journalist, here is the sum total of what we actually know about the document that started all of this. we know it was compiled by
9:03 pm
christopher steele acting as a contractor of fusion gps with funds supplied by the hillary clinton campaign and the dnc. it was a form of opposition research designed to be used against trump in the presidential campaign. it was not an intelligence document,, it was op po. it claims that russian intelligence cultivated donald trump as a kind of asset, a one-man sleeper cell for more than five years. you could say there's no evidence of that. the dossier also claims the kremlincl fed the trump team inl reports on hillary clinton for years, there's no proof of that either. if it says he was favored by lucrative russian real estate deals as part of his cultivation, that sleeper cell, no proof therehe either. according to the dossier, they were exchanging intelligence
9:04 pm
with each other for at least eight years. the dossier goes on to describe a clandestine meeting in prague between trump's lawyer michael: supposedly that took place in august of 2016. this is one of very few claims in the dossier that has been conclusively checked and it's false.e he wasn't even outside of the u.s. at the time the meeting took place. in sum, the steele dossier is absurd. the closer you read it, the more absurd itur is. as you read it, ask yourself who would believe something like this? is so transparently partisan and unlikely and a stupid and flimsy and reads like a parody of a badly writtene spy novel, at the same time he was firing people on the apprentice, he was working with vladimir putin to subvert t america? it's hard to say it with a straight face, it's that stupid. keep in mind this is a document to the fbi used to justify spying on american citizens.
9:05 pm
these are the claims thates democrats in congress repeatedly cited as the reason t to stop te normal functioning of government in order to investigate the administration. this is the famous dossier that even today progressives in the media are spending millions in an attempt to corroborate and it's all a stupid joke. amazingly a lot of people in power fell for it. congressman ron desantis is a republican rep resetting the state of florida, thanks for coming on. the meeting that susan rice describes in her email between the president and the vice president is really .evealing trump was accused of considering obama foreign but obama turned out did consider trump foreign a foreign agent. can a sitting president deny government documents, intelligence to an incoming president? >> i don't see how you can do that. think about what gates was onto at the time, that was one of the reasons why she sent the fbi
9:06 pm
agents to phlegm, creating some type of bogeyman out of acting like an incoming national security advisor. >> tucker: a president's authority and legitimacy comes from voters -- how can one president tsai i don't think the next guy should have this, i don't think he is worthy of this information. doi think it's improper to that, this january 5th meeting -- what did he do it the very next day. he wentim to trump tower, he showed them the dossier, that got leaked to cnn. also during this whole transition time, you had an unprecedented campaign of leaking classified information designed to put a cloud over the incoming presidency. i think susan rice has a lot of questions she is going to have to answer. why would you would you all of a sudden right as you're leaving
9:07 pm
the white house to that email saying obama said do it by the a book. it's an odd thing to do, she was trying to create a record. why did she feel the need to do that? it was clear, by the time trump got inaugurated, you had the permanent bureaucracy and the holdovers, they were feeding information on a daily basis. the first two or three months of his administration was constant bombshell reports all based on anonymousny sources. all based on former or current u.s. officials. e that started from the day he got elected all the way to theel appointment of robert mueller as special counsel. >> tucker: the dossier itself which was the center of all of this claims that trump was cultivated by russia intelligence for five years prior to becoming president. is there evidence that'sde true? >> think about what they used for carter page. the idea that russian oil
9:08 pm
companies with were going to give him a 10% stake or 20% stake in a company that is so have beenwould $10 billion that they were going to give to carter page and the fbi used that to get t surveillance. the only thing that has definitely been corroborated is carter page did travel to russia during the campaign. none of the other key facts have been corroborated at all. >> sean: am i overstating it when i say as a normal person reading the dossier seems absurd. you would have to be a moron to take it at face value it, is your reaction? >> i think it's spectacular, i think it's something that comey is right about. salacious but unverified. >> tucker: and richard goodstein aned attorney, he has advised both of hillary clinton's campaigns, joins usat tonight.
9:09 pm
this dossier is at the center of everything, it comes from both speed, they now have apparently hired a former fbi official and others to travel the globe and try to corroborate it so without success. those fetus at the center of this -- o they use this document to justify spying on an american citizen. i'm wondering, where there are other documents? 31 slightly weird things all girls do in the bathroom but don't talk about, was that in anyta way part of this investigation? >> anything else you want to talk about that's relevant? this will assist twisted, the fbi shielded donald trump because they briefed the v president of vice president about in the susan rice memo about the fact that russians had interfered and they went outside their rules to go after hillary clinton. can we at least have that is a
9:10 pm
premise? > the premises this. allegations were made against the trump campaign, very atspecific ones that they collud with the russian government to win the election. and moreover the president had been a long time russian agent. those are very serious allegations, he considered withholding intelligence from the incomingpr president. if you make allegations like that you have any obligation to prove them? >> let's put aside this whole five year business. what we know is michael flynn was a foreign agent. >> tucker: of russia? >> of turkey, we know that. he didn't disclose what he was being paid by russia or turkey, we know that. we know because of the wiretaps that he asked kinsley act go easy, were going to not proceed with the sanctions. we just saw that in the past two
9:11 pm
weeks. >> tucker: am i misremembering this, did he campaign on that, i think he campaigned on that in public, is that a policy position you could be against sanctions against russia sim and not be a russian agent? >> i think any official would be derelict if they knew the national security advisor come again could be compromised, he had lied about the fact that he was not a foreign agent and guess what, just like rob porter wasn't subject to blackmail, so was michael flynn. you're putting this as trump, what the president was saying in the susan rice memo is we have a guy who is going to be sitting steps from the oval office who is a foreign agent. we know he has got these ties to russia. we can't trust that he won't approach that is more secretive than sanctions. >> tucker: are you allowed to have a different view on
9:12 pm
sanctions and the one barack obama had or is it criminal? doou you realize you were going insane on tv right now? you are saying things that not only legal but totally legitimate. you're acting as if they are moral. >> what's insane is that it is normal you would have as a national security issue a foreign agent, that's what we had. >> tucker: actually we didn't at that point, as i've said 100 times on this show it was wrong of mike flynn to take money from the government of turkey. when he showed up to work at the white house he was not a foreign agent atat that point. a lot of people in washington, he took money from a foreign government to change american policy, i think it's wrong. it happens every day. our policies are driven from that fact. >> in the white house, he used his authority to push policies that are going to benefit turke turkey. he told susan rice don't go into
9:13 pm
rocca, it's adverse to turkish interests. you talk about traders, that's a traitor. >> tucker: traitor is in, we are coining a new word. let me ask you this, none of that gets to the point -- you're saying he had taken money from the turkish money, that's wrong, i agree with you on that. none of this hasas anything to o with the core claim which is wrecked our government for over a year. at a certain point you feel like you are responsible for this insanity which is in destroying the concept of due process making it possible for anyone to think clearly. >> let me make four points and ten seconds. the russians said to the trump people, we can help you. donald trump jr., love it, bring it on. if the russians did it with wikipedia and a trump use at 100 times in the campaign trail encouraging the russians to steal from hillary clinton. that is a problem. >> tucker: does it bother you
9:14 pm
that the hillary clinton campaign paid through a foreign intelligence agent russian sources to gather russian government information to use against their opponents donald trump, i'm not sure what it's so different. >> the russians stole and what hillary clinton did was get information that was a matter of public record. >> tucker: it's a matter of public record that truck was working for the russian government? >> we will see what's fact and what's not. we can laugh. >> tucker: i may have to leave the country, if all this is true, that nothing i believed in the nothing that seem real is. piers morgan made a stunning claim that theor former white house aide on semi professional television figure omarosa offered him and return for helping her win
9:15 pm
"celebrity apprentice," that's not the only crazy thing she is up to. she will join us next to confirm or deny. >> tucker carlson's brush to my pacific life, protecting generations of families for 150 years, that's the power of pacific. you can't always predict them, but you can game plan for them. for 150 years, generations of families have chosen pacific life for retirement and life insurance solutions to help them reach their goals. being ready for wherever life leads. that's the power of pacific. ask a financial advisor about pacific life.

you would be worried about pence. we would be begging for trump back if pence became president. he is extreme, i'm christian, i love jesus. but he thinks jesus tells him to say things. it's scary. >> tucker: meanwhile over on "the view," the hosts characterize the vice president's faith as mental illness. >> i'm catholic, i'm a faithful person, i don't know all if i want my vice presidents speaking in tongues. >> it's one thing to talk to jesus,s it's another thing when jesus talks to you. that's mental illness if i'm not correct. >> editor at large at
9:20 pm
dailymail.com he joins us. what do you make of this? both of the latest incarnation as a political pundit and of the dismissal of religion is mental illness. >> i find it absolutely ridiculous that we are at havio discuss omarosa and a political context, shen was allowed to hae an office in the west wing of the white house for nearly a year. i don't know why donald trump would have ever let her in there, she's already behaving exactly how she i would've pred she would c behave, she was goig to. she's omarosa, she's a reality television star who was a poisonous viper who is spreading innuendo and terrorizing everyone in her wake. first question, what was she doing there? >> tucker: it for all the time
9:21 pm
spent on the russia's story, omarosa worked in the white house, really? democrats didn't notice, she seems normal to them. > we have all this stuff about rob porter which is a very serious matter and it's quite clear that he shouldn't have been there either given what we now know about him. there are questions to the administration about who knew what, where and when. if we are going to apply that logic and judgment to him, where was that logic and judgment about omarosa. who was the president surrounding himself with? i met donald trump when i took part in "celebrity apprentice" with omarosa, he's got to have better people around him in the white house the types of people we see with rob porter. >> tucker: i think she probably is in her own category,
9:22 pm
i've been over there a few times it's not chock-full of omarosas but she did work there. she became famous for being horrible. you worked with her on the apprentice, what's she like? >> she is absolutely appalling, one of the worst human beings i have ever encountered in mync l life. i have encountered a lot of bad people. she has no saving grace, she was vicious, conniving, scheming, plotting, treacherous. her first gambit to make him day one, first challenge. she sidles up to me, we should have a show manse. i said what's a showmance? everyone has sex together, we could sell it and make lots of money. weeds go away. she said what's the matter with you, are you? just because i don't want to
9:23 pm
have sex with you on this show doesn't make me gay. i'm a victim of omarosa. she gave me four or five weeks unrelenting 5 barrels of abuse, tirades, vicious nasty stuff. i couldn't believe it. she gotten beaten in the show, i ended up winning it. if that stuck in her mind as well, cut forward to the campaign in the middle of 2016. i suddenly read she's going to be working for donald trump the candidate, how can that make any sense. then i hear one he wins, she's going to be in the white house.i i have a lot of respect for donald trump, i'm afraid with her it makes no sense at the time, now she has left, she is apparently achieved absolutely nothing in herse time in the white house other than disrupting everybody. you can bet your life she was there listening, plotting,
9:24 pm
scheming, we're not going to have celebrity big brother and all the stuff on that. then the lifetime movie at which point you went i are going to have to leave the country because it is so ridiculously absurd. is one of thet most vivid descriptions of anyone i've ever heard. i suppose you are not texting each other. >> we have not stayed in touch. i did bump into her at a wwe wrestling event. the nausea i felt on the exact moment she made that proposition to me all came flooding back. i literally had to run to the restroom and regurgitate exactly what i had done all those years befored. she is beyond any reproach. she is a professional edge tour of epicas proportions, the least trustworthy human being ever conceived on god's earth. for her to be laying in on mike penceel about religion when

9:30 pm
it's so striking for someone as old as i am to see a democrat to make case.ca there are millions of americans who can't get by, have the country can't get $400 in a days notice, they don't have any money.wh what they need are higher-paying jobs. here you have a democratic senator saying no, the point is making sure that employers can pay as little as possible, we need to import aa lot of people from third world countries who work for less. how does that help americans? and why is it the emphasis on raising their wages? >> i think what i would suggest senator durbin was leaving out, twice as many citizens start businesses, they come over, they try to bring their families to start a family. join families of faith and many are working in our fields and our agricultural industry would
9:31 pm
not survive if it were not for three quarters of immigrants working in that industry just like in many cities. >> tucker:ti i don't know if your facts have caught up to current reality which is agriculture is increasingly mechanized. it takes far fewer people. overwhelmingly mechanized. what's the single most common job for daca recipients, working in restaurants. you're talking about low-wage i'm a low skilled jobs and you're talking about people who are less educated than average native born americans, only 5% of daca recipients have college degrees. that's exactly the group of jobs that are going away because of automation.. it has been a lot of study on this, it's weird to me that he would import millions of people to do jobs that are disappearing, why would you do that? >> the more immigrants that come here, the more jobs are created. the rhetoric is good, i am here in kentucky, we are a poor stat
9:32 pm
state. i worked on a farm when i was growingen up. i know what kind of backbreaking labor that is. the truth of the matter is, what we are talking about here is been the backbone of our entire country since the beginning. it's always been family-based migration. >> tucker: i realize that you are a minister and you are making a kind of moral argument, i'm making an economic argument. do you know what supply and demand is? it's the never changing rule that if you have an overabundance of something its value falls. if you bring in a million new laborers every year what happens to wages at the low end? they go down. >> all of the data is suggesting on the hole, wages go up on that economic argument. >> tucker: is an economic
9:33 pm
matter, how did we suspend the law of supply and demand when it comes tomi immigration it applis to everything else in life. send us cheap because there's a lot of it but that's not true forau immigrant labor because of why? >> the more human beings are in a place, the more they can buy your products, the more human beings grading business, the more business and entrepreneurship you have, that's been theas trick for allf american history, that has made our economy so vibrant. >> tucker: i don't think you have the facts on your side but as a theoretical matter but if low wage labor makes you rich, why isn't mexico richer than the united states? >> first of all i can you can go to define american.com/facts matter and you can see -- >> tucker: if importing poor people makeses you rich why hast it worked for the rest of the
9:34 pm
world? >> why is the america that was good enough for my great grandfather who didn't have the marriage that you're talking about, why is that no longer the america that's good enough for -- >> tucker: i would say you know nothing about my great grandfather, and i would say because the economy hason chang, it's 2018. we are in a postindustrial part of the economy. it's a lot easier b to get here whatever it wasn't mckenzie just estimated by 2030 we are going to lose 73 million jobs, you see not concerned by that. i bet you if i looked at your donors they would be big businesses who want cheap labor. you are knowing facts that are relevant to modern america. >> i'm supporting those facts. we ought to be concerned with the mechanization of labor. immigrants are not creating that.lo you look at all the businesses that have been created by immigrants in silicon valley that would not be here literally if the current plan on the table of the senate is looking at in the trump administration is
9:35 pm
proposing were to be passed. >> tucker: i'm not here to defend the congress or trump, i want to defend the country and say why wouldn't we lament all future immigration to immigrants with the same profile of the people who started those businesses in silicon valley. >> that's not what the current plan suggests. >> tucker: if you have degree in engineering you can come here. if youou have a high school education, you can't, would that work?id >> do you have an engineering degree at a graduate level. >> tucker: i was born here, i don't have to justify --ho we gt to decide whether they come or not. why wouldn't we get people who are more impressive? why would we bring people who got fifth grade educations? >> in our most prominent harbor, it reads give us your tired, poor, huddled masses. >> tucker: you don't have an

>> >> tucker: like most people i hate that word and i don't want to hear it. i would think of princeton students want to be rational enough, we are having that discussion of speech and of violence and this is a horrible thing to say, but here it is that they would be able to track with that. they don't seem like they were. >> i think one of the problems here is america is a passionate country and we want to be sensitive for other people's feelings. if you're a victim in any of these areas, it's kind of a good deal. you get a lot of consideration, you get a lot of sympathy. it seems to me it we have reached a stage in america wereo half people going around and applying victim status. we can yell f-bombs at college professors.

i sense it is utterly regrettable if you see the sensitivity going on all the time. this is what we mean when we talk about snowflakes. our colleague guy benson ran into resistance up at brown university. where people said it was offensive and wrong for him to be able to speak there. this is all part of the same phenomenon, it is very widespread, very disturbing. it has been widely reported on and i think most people in america disapprove of this. the responsibility falls upon the university administrators and the faculty which put up with this and have it for long time. >> tucker: to guide benson, in a 20 seconds we said, would you be worried about sending that child to college? >> i have an 18-year-old granddaughter who was at college, i am pleased to say there hasn't been many reports

of this kind of stuff going on. i am concerned about it and i have another granddaughter coming along in a couple of years who will be headed off to college and i hope she will choose a college. was not i hope by that time that attitudes about this will change and college administrators will begin to grow some backbone. >> tucker: thank you very much much. cnn it is ubiquitous in airports, why is america's least impressive cable channel dominating the least pleasant locations. i looked into that question, we have findings for you next. your sleep number setting. does your bed do that? right now, save 50% on the ultimate limited edition bed. ends soon. visit sleepnumber.com fora store near you.

years ago. these days the channel has strayed so far to the left and wacky left conspiracy superiors and strange advice from chris cuomo, have you got to wonder what's going on. airports are like an lesser version of hell food and propaganda posing as food on cnn. why is this network, this channel in every airport in america? we decided to find out. and surprising large number of cases the reason is that cnn is literally paying to have you watch them. cnn has a special package called cnn airport it combines news, sports, and travel in at least 60 airports cnn has signed agreements t >> in at least 60 airports, in miami, for example, cnn airport pays the airport authority a minimum of 150 grande year. in minneapolis, the airport authorities there told us c nchl n pays for the cost of the infrastructure, ask pays for the opportunity to be in our facility. which raises the question, how much would you have to be paid
