korean state media is saying that kim jong un inteed was in beijing for a meeting with president xi. that is our story for tonight. see you back here tomorrow night at 7:00. go to d.c. and check in with tucker carlson coming up next. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the commerce department today announced changes to the census. ordinarily that would not be a very big deal. starting in two years respond dents will be asked if they are u.s. citizens. that question has been asked on census forms in years past and obvious questions for asking it. constitution requires it is to apportion congressional districts so americans with can vote for representatives. only u.s. citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections so it might be nice to know how many live in this country. sound reasonable to you? even boring? are you still awake. if not you are not a professional outrage merchant. the left came close to losing consciousness today

over this idea. the attorney general of california javier becerra says he will choose the trump administration over this change. becerra says asking people whether or not they are citizens is somehow unconstitutional. watch. >> given the way that this administration had attacked immigrants, you can understand why immigrant families would be afraid to fill out the census questionnaire. in our lawsuit we argue this decision by the trump administration violates the constitution and federal law. >> tucker: well ari burman of javier magazine. he got so worked up about the census question he described the change as, quote: a huge crisis for democracy. oh, come on. nobody actually believes that nobody believes the lines like that even the red-faced people who scream them. the left doesn't care about what is or what is not constitutional. did you watch the gun march this weekend? obviously they don't care.

a crisis for democracy? if you really cared about democracy, representative of democracy, you would be vigilant about preventing voter fraud the left abets it in state after state including in california so illegals get drivers license so they can register to vote. democracy, please. they hate the fact you took some of their power by voting for donald trump. they want it back by any means necessary. that's what this is about obviously. caesar vargas an attorney and illegal immigrant. he joins us. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: counting citizens asking whether they are continues how could that be constitutional when the constitution requires you count your citizens? >> we are talking about the constitution. and republicans and conservatives are all about the original intent, the founding meaning of the constitution. well, the constitution explicitly states that we need an actual enumeration. in other words, an actual count of the whole persons in each state. never said anything about

immigration status. never said anything. the purpose is to count everyone in the united states regardless of immigration status. so that's perfect. as a person of who approves of original intent, you would understand that that we would need to count everything and abide by the constitution. >> tucker: hold on. >> constitution at this moment. >> tucker: i know you are lecturing me on the constitution. but does this change, say, that you are not allowed to count people who are noncitizens? no. it says take a count. it's one of the many questions. the constitution by the way since i know you are familiar with it doesn't say anything about counting people by race. the census does that. should we not ask what people's race. >> under this administration we have been very clear about it's about targeting immigrants. >> tucker: hold on, slow down. wait, hold on. i'm not going to let you read your bumper sticker. stop, stop you, stop. i want you to answer my question because i think it's a fair question. you don't think that the census form ought to be able to ask people whether they are here illegally or citizens or not. okay. you do think it ought to be allowed to ask them what

their genetic makeup is? what their race is? why? >> we should have a very simple document that says hey, how many people live in your home. how many people have an opportunity to live in the fate? i think that's simple. i'm not putting aside the politics about. >> tucker: hold on. i'm not going to let you dodge it a third time. hold on. what about their race? the census asks what your race is i think it's creepy as hell to be honest because your race has nothing to do with any choice that you made. something you are born with you about the census asks it and it asks it because the left demands it asks it. do you think the census ought to be able to ask race. >> i think we should have simple count. no. maybe we shouldn't have. how many people live in your house? that's it. what's what the constitution requires. it's all about allocation and representation. >> tucker: what about male or female. is that unconstitutional, too. >> i think if a person wants to designate i'm a male or female, let them answer that

question. >> tucker: hold on. that wasn't the question. the census asks are amman or aru a man or woman. non-hispanic white. african-american, are you indian. now it's going to ask are you a citizen. only one of those questions bothers you not because of the constitutionality of it but because you think it might dilute the political power of illegal aliens. let's stop pretending it's about the constitution eye agree it should be counting people not on. voting power. the census. >> tucker: do you know what? let's take the race questions off. >> the constitution says hey we need to count people. if you are a male tore female, great. when you talk about representation. >> tucker: what do you mean great? slow down. why is it a difference? it's a different story because you think it might dilute the political power of illegal aliens who i could add, i'm not a lawyer like you, shouldn't be here in the first place. but you are not bothered by sex or race.

so let's just stop pretending. let's drop the that sad and stop playing the stupid game where we pretend it's about your concerns about the constitution of a country that you are not even allowed to be in because i think you are here illegally, too. it's about pure political power. it's about one side trying to take back power from the other. and like let's be adults about it. can we do that or keep it -- >> that shows it's a concern of you that you are afraid if you count undocumented immigrants that's going to dilute your power. it's not about power. it's about simple representation. the fundamental principle. it's about equal representation. >> tucker: no. that -- >> we all have a voice. you know the constitution is not just about citizenship. >> tucker: okay. citizenship is the basis upon which we determine political power. citizens have political power, noncitizens don't. that's the difference. if you want to distill citizenship to a citizen there have you it. so, yes, i do want to dilute the political power of the

citizens of other countries. i don't think that russian citizens or nigerian citizens or citizens from the sea shells ought to be able to vote in my elections. that's constitutional, that's the definition of constitutional. >> that's not what america stands for. what america stands for is that you can be 100 percent american but you can be 100 percent mexican, african. >> tucker: no, actually, citizens. are you really a lawyer? and by the way -- >> -- american citizenship and mexican citizenship and french citizenship. that's the crazy thing about how beautiful this country is about. >> tucker: you are not allowed to not have citizenship and vote. been a question we have been asking as we have been abetting your legal stay in this country. do you plan to vote in the next lebsz election? you live in california. they will let you vote. you are illegal. do you plan to vote. >> we are talking about counting. >> tucker: are you going to vote? a simple question. >> now you are talking about -- i do believe we should have universal voting for everyone to ensure that

everyone has. >> tucker: for citizens of other country? who should be able to vote here. >> no taxation without representation. >> tucker: so everybody in the world who comes to the united states and buying a deck of marlboros and pays the sales tax is entitled to vote. >> if that person comes here to contribute to the country, let him have a say in his government. simple as that. >> tucker: let foreigners vote. i hope the democrat party runs on this. caesar, thank you for being honest. >> thank you,. >> tucker: secretary of state of state of kansas he has been following these issues closely because he cares. mr. secretary, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> tucker: explain to us why it's important to know whether or not people counted by the census are american citizens? >> there are a million reasons why. the first and foremost is that any sovereign nation needs to know how many citizens it has. the second is that all kinds of statistics require us like unemployment is a tis particulars, knowing how many of the people in the

united states are citizens and how many are noncitizens, meaning aliens both legal and illegal. then we have to know apportionment. if congress decides as it should to stop counting illegal aliens, we need to know how many are in each category. it's absurd that states like california have an inflated number of representatives in congress because they have so many illegal aliens. so, there are so many reasons. let me quickly respond to your previous guest. i couldn't stop laughing. his notion that it's unconstitutional to count citizens, ask people if they are citizens or not. look we started doing this? the 1820 clean success. the founding fathers were still alive in 1820. if it was unconstitutional to ask are you a citizen they would say don't ask the citizenship question that's unconstitutional. the second thing is the supreme court ruled in 1964 from west bury vs. sanders that diluting the voting of u.s. citizens which is what happens when you count the illegal aliens in a district, that is unconstitutional. so. >> tucker: i wonder if

conservatives make a mistake in having constitutional arguments of people who think the constitution is fundamentally illegitimate because it was written by slave owners in the first place. this has nothing to too with the constitution. i doubt javier becerra knows what's in the constitution. he doesn't care. it's demagoguery to take power from people they don't think should have it, voters, don't you think? >> yeah. i think. so and you hit the nail on the head when you said look it's all about power. why the left apoplectic notion we would be counting citizens again like we have done through our country's history. they see this potentially could threaten the inflated number of congressional seats. again, the trump administration can't do it unilaterally it would take an act of congress next to say apportionment should not count illegal aliens. we should have done that decades ago by the way. >> tucker: that's for sure that and a lot of other things. mr. kobach, thanks for joining me. great to see you. >> my pleasure. likewise. >> tucker: this is a fox news alert.

the orange county board, in orange county, california has voted to join the trump administration's lawsuit against california and its sanctuary state law. sandra hutchins is sheriff of orange county and has fought that law by publicly posting the release times of illegal immigrant immates. california a.g. javier becerra said he may have sheriff hutchins arrested for that, watch. >> state law is state law. and it's my job to enforce state law. i will do so. and we want to make sure that every jurisdiction, including orange county, understanding what state law requires of the people and the subdivisions of the state of california. >> does that mean the lawsuit against the sheriff or arrest of the sheriff? >> i think i just answered that okay. thanks very much. >> tucker: sheriff hutchins joins us tonight. sheriff a lot of people opt east coast are just waking up to what's going on in california. it seems like we are moving towards a crisis here. is that the way it seems to you? >> no.

it's not a crisis as a sheriff of orange county i feel responsible for the public safety of the citizens of our county. >> tucker: yes. >> sb-54 does not allow for that so i have started yesterday posting the names and dates of release of all of inmates publicly accessible to all of the community and that is well within the law provided by sb-54. >> tucker: right. what i meant by crisis is you are chief law enforcement officer of the county, chief law enforcement officer of the state. the attorney general is threatening to arrest you. i have never heard of anything like that happening in any state, at least in my lifetime. >> yeah, and i haven't, either. and i find it interesting. maybe he better read sb-54 again because i don't think he understands what the law says and what i'm doing is entirely within the confines of the law and i'm doing what i think is important

for my constituents. it's a public safety issue to me. it's not about immigration at all. it's about individuals who have committed violent crimes. let me just give you some examples of some individuals we have had to release. how about sex with a minor. child cruelty. domestic violence, i mean, i don't think i could sleep at night knowing that i had let somebody go and they go out and commit another crime with those kinds of charges. so, i am doing something well within the law that helps me to nofe notify ice alog with the community on when individuals are being released. gives ice an opportunity to pick up those individuals who are in custody for serious crimes. we are not talking about misdemeanor crimes. >> tucker: i understand. >> we are talking about serious, violent crimes. >> tucker: you are acting out of obviously a moral imperative nonpolitical. it's your job description. how would the attorney general arrest you and what will happen if he tries?

>> well, i wouldn't advise it. if he is going to arrest me, then, he better have some good charges because i'm going to get an attorney and i will fight it but i would be very surprised if mr. becerra decides to make a move like that and arrest a sitting sheriff for following the law just because he doesn't like what i'm doing, that is not enough. i'm following the law and i'm trying to take care of my constituents here in orange county. >> tucker: so i wonder why other law enforcement officials in other parts of the state aren't doing what you are doing if what you are doing is consistent with california law? >> i'm not sure. i think some are doing other things but, you know, i'm not going to speak to that i think there are other jurisdictions that are doing what they can to legally under the confines of the law as it sits today, doing what they can to protect their communities. the sheriffs in the state of

california fought this senate bill from the very beginning. it states that we cannot use any resources to communicate with our federal law enforcement partners which is just ludicrous. >> tucker: well, it's dangerous as you pointed out. sheriff, thanks for joining us, i appreciate it. >> absolutely. thanks for having me. >> tucker: well, in the wake of the antigun walkouts, the california teacher was suspended from her job for daring to ask a simple question. could anti-abortion protesters do the same thing? she got bounced for that the teacher joins us next. feel the clarity of non-drowsy claritin 24 hour relief when allergies occur. day after day, after day. because life should have more wishes and less worries. feel the clarity and live claritin clear. a farmer's market.ve what's in this kiester. a fire truck. even a marching band. and if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester,

thank you for coming on. >> i appreciate the invite. >> tucker: it's an amazing story. i wonder if i misstated it in any way. you said hypothetically would you support a pro-life walkout and they punished you for that? >> pretty much, tucker. a real discontextually i wanted to make sure my students were informed i had a pressroom miss they were not. most of them had no idea about the protest. i gave them an oversue. asked them to look at it on their own and most importantly you just mentioned parents. i said go talk to your parents. i'm a parent. i would want to know if my students decided to get up and walk out of class for any protest. and i received no backlash from my students. these are highly intelligent kids. it's a great school actually. and they understood it. but, somehow it got to administration that did i not fall in line and follow the herd and they took it upon themselves to put me on administrative leave wednesday morning of the protest. >> tucker: did they explain

why? are you -- you are not allowed to question the orthodoxy? did they say that out loud? is there another pretext to this. >> there was a pretext. to answer your question, they did not tell me why. they just called me at 8:30 in the morning. i arrived on campus at 9:00. they said do not come in today. they gave me no reason why. i didn't find out until about 3:00 that afternoon when a local news reporter knocked on my door and she had the media report from my school district. so she actually informed me as to why. and essentially as it has unraveled, that apparently students and parents complained about me asking this question if there would be a possible double standard. and that was their reasoning or justification for putting me on leave. >> tucker: so, i mean, just to kind of follow your analogy to its conclusion, if there was a pro-life march nearby in california, so maybe there won't be, but let's say there was, would the school be okay with like 80% of kids going to that

events? >> well, that's precisely the question i asked my very insightful students. i just flipped it and said what do you guys think? is it appropriate to protest during schooltime? usually protests take place before school, after school, on a saturday, on your own time. and i said if this administration or any administration throughout the country is going to basically allow and facilitate this kind of a protest, would they do the same thing for a pro-life protest? and i have a very, very brave student who has actually taken that upon himself to challenge. >> tucker: interesting. schools don't believe in fairness anymore. the left doesn't. that's the experience. you are a brave for coming on this show thank you. >> absolutely, tucker. thanks. >> tucker: cnn is totally obsessed with the story that doesn't really matter to anybody at home or abroad exsetting to them. they are into it. brit hume's thoughts on that and on rumors in washington

that but why does he think it just happened? i mean, what struck me about this stormy daniels story in its current incarnation is that it didn't seem to tell us anything about donald trump that we didn't already know or should have known. >> tucker: exactly. >> this particular charge was raised back before the election. it was denied. my sense about it was one who followed trump was it was probably true and his denial was probably not true. but my feeling about this is that an awful lot of people around the country thought, you know, trump was a philanderer. after all he bragged about it publicly back in his nonpolitical days and it was to the widely known and, you know, the fact that somebody might have gotten paid to keep it quiet didn't strike me as something that was beneath trump. even so, he is not even accused so far of being the one that made the payment. so my sense about this was that it was kind of baked in the cake. people knew what kind of a rascal it was when it came to this sort of stuff. certified philanderer and

lover of flashy women and didn't tell them anything they already know. >> tucker: they voted for him anyway. >> exactly. >> tucker: people would ask themselves why did voters do that? pro-porn star? maybe the leadership of the people in charge was so bad that people felt they had to vote for trump. speaking of leadership, all these rumors about paul ryan resigning in a matter weeks, certainly before the mid terms. he says these rumors are not true. what do you think? >> well, look, i think this. that i think there is a chance he will retire at the end of his term. he has been in public life a long time. he has never really made any money. i think he looks ahead. what has paul ryan been about as a politician principally? he has been about growth economics. that is a preoccupation of his. is he a disciple you will recall of jack kempf. they have now passed what is basically a supply side tax bill. although it effects corporate america more than

individual citizens. we all know that but he worked a long time to get something like that through. he has finally done it as he looks ahead, i can't imagine that he thinks that the near term prospects for adding on to that in any meaningful way are very good. and he is likely to have a smaller majority in the house. he has had a very hard time corralling his somewhat bulky caucus to follow the leaders on a number of things. so, he may well have had enough. i wouldn't blame him if he had. he is a good man. it would be a loss, in my opinion. but, i think it's distinctly possible. >> tucker: do you think that he would be replaced by someone who is more sympathetic to trump's ideological agenda to the extent he has ideological agenda but on immigration, for example, would the party change? >> i don't know. i mean, you know, i really -- i haven't taken a census of the views of the likely potential likely successors. i'm someone from the freedom caucus will run and will run

they like to depict muslims as being incompatible with the left and hating guys. left loved it put lbgt. the reality is that he had never been to pulse. he had gone to multiple other locations in the days leading up to the attack and on that day that had nothing to do with the gay community, disney, other people he had judged were too fortified by security. he picked pulse randomly by entering google and asked what is orlando downtown nightclub. evidence overwhelming motivated not anything to do with guys but what he said during the entire attack which it was being done in retaliation for what he perceived as 15 years of u.s. killing of muslims, women being and children innocent in muslim countries. >> tucker: interesting. now we learn that his father was an fbi informant. this fits a pattern with these massacres and, you

know, i don't think we know enough to really understand what it means but tell us what we do know about this. >> so, the fbi has been caught lying repeatedly throughout this case. the days after the pulse attack. they detained his wife for 17 hours. he had a small small infant. she has a very low iq. they got her to sign a statement that was filled with false claims, including the fact that she had gone to pulse with her husband to case it. they investigated it and they determined the fbi did that she had never been to pulse. they got her to sign a false statement by threatening to say they would take away her child. ply playing on her vulnerabilities. hid from court many of the key statements, the incriminating ones they got her to sign were false. what they also hid not just from the court but from her lawyers was this critical fact namely that omar mateen's far that they planned to call as a witness was working as informant very closely with the fbi

for 11 years from 2005 to 2016. the fbi had twice investigated omar mateen after he was boasting about having connections to terrorism. and they decided they wouldn't investigate them further. they weren't going to arrest him. they weren't going to do anything. jim comey said we are going to provide explanation about why we made that choice to. date never done. so when we called them for comment they refused. as it turns out, they were talking to their informant during the time they were investigating omar mateen. it's pretty clear that they decided not to arrest him because they were working so closely with his father, a fact as you said that they concealed from everybody until just a couple days ago. >> tucker: that is just unbelievable. i mean, you or i lie to the fbi charged with a felony. they lie to us, no big deal. you are wearing remembrance on lapel for rio de janeiro remember shot after advocating there. that's a really interesting

controversial. spokesman he denied that slander. of course he doesn't believe on hiring on merit on the basis who is more qualified and who has the most experience or bigoted skill based criteria. at the department of interior they hire on the basis of genetic what people look like. ryan zinke believes in diversity like everybody else. of course no one believed him. in op-ed for cnn today andre perry of the brookings institution said zincky's preference for qualified people could, quote: threaten the security of the country. senator bob then mendez of new jersey recently returned from his federal corruption trial, congratulations, bob. went further trying to create a lily white department. obviously no worse crime than that. white departments being prima facie immoral something a mad scientist thought up and of course menendez would know himself being single whitest members serving in the u.s. senate. he gets a pass. whatever else you might say about bob men the menendez he

would never consider hiring someone on the basis of relevant qualifications. recently we told you on this program about the wave of item crawsk change demographic change. it was less than 2% hispanic. today thanks to mass immigration, hazleton is majority hispanic. more than half of the residents there speak a language other than english at home. we got those numbers from a recent piece in national geographic which quoted lifelong hazleton residents saying they no locker recognize their own hometown. they didn't hate immigrants. most americans like immigrants. but this was too much change and fewer than 20 years the culture their parents and grandparents had built evaporated. they never asked for any of that it was just imposed on them. they were bewildered, under standably. not everyone understands or even caress. this morning cnn ran a hit piece on that segment, writer ron brownstein

described it as extraordinary screed against diversity what about that means. he suggested we were bigots for talking about the subject at all. this, of course, is how you bully people into being quiet while you permanently change their country and usually it works. because nobody wants the headache of that. but, in this case, it's an important enough topic that we're going to go a little deeper on it what happened when hazleton is happening around the country. neighborhoods transformed forever with no public debate. what's interesting is where this is not happening. in the neighborhoods where the people who make these decisions live. here's some numbers. in storm-lake iowa only a tiny percentage of the population foreign born just 25 years ago. now more than half of all residents storm lake don't speak english at home. amtrak, michigan had two bangladeshi residents in 1990, today that city is majority muslim. fewer than 40% of the people who speak there speak english at home. cnn piece ron brownstein suggest this whole conversation is about white

fear. liberals often say that almost always they say that because to hide the truth of it which is that the starkest effects of mass immigration don't take place in white neighborhoods. they take place where native born african-americans live. for example, not so long ago compton, california, the famous compton was the largest black community west of the mississippi. today only a third of compton's population is african-american. the rest is hispanic. that's huge change. that's massive dislocation. nobody talks about it. people like ron brownstein shout them into silence but it's real and for a lot of people who used to live there, it's traumatic. now let's consider how the other half lives. the people who are making these decisions about immigration and demographic change. are their neighborhoods changing like hazleton and storm lake and compton? come on. you know the answer to that l.a. county is now overwhelmingly hispanic. but not you were income malibu where the famous liberals live where everybody supports these changes. malibu is still 80% white.

87% white, actually. new york city diverse place, of course. but not in michael bloomberg's neighborhood. his zip code is 82% white. it's less than 5% hispanic. it's still 1985 where michael bloomberg list. it probably always will be. that's the point. same with barack obama's neighborhood here in washington. that zip code is less than 8% hispanic. meanwhile just across the river in the suburbs in virginia, more spanish speaking every year. obama loves that he just doesn't want to live near it. diversity for thee, but not for me. you see how it works. no matter what ron brownstein tells you. the mayor of hazelton, pennsylvania partially attacked for trying to fight changes to his city. today he represents pennsylvania in congress. he joins us tonight. congressman, thanks for coming on. >> good to be here, tucker. >> tucker: i want to restate. i don't think you can say it enough. i think most people like immigrants because most immigrants are great including ones in your

hometown. it's really a question of who gets to decide what the changes are and how big they are. and i always wondered for a town like hazleton do the people who live there have any say in it at all? >> no. they didn't have any say in it, tucker. i was at the forefront of that issue in hazleton where we saw a very sudden migration of newcomers coming into the city with no real explanation as to why it was happening and why hazleton. and it is startling for a community to see a change like that. to give you a good example in the year 2,000, english as a second language in the hazleton area school district the budget was $500. five years later it was $1.5 million. that just gives you a glimpse of how fast it happened. >> tucker: so we're always told that when you bring in huge amounts of poor people from the third world with low levels of education that you get much richer when you do that. that's the key to

prosperity. no one who makes these decisions does it in their own neighborhood. make you richer. has hazleton become richer. >> no, quite the opposite. it becomes much more difficult. when your income tax goes down. our population grew by 50% but our tax revenue stayed the same. that's when we realized we not only had -- we had illegal immigration problem on top of it all but no, when people are coming in and are of lower income or lower end of the economic ladder, that's less tax money that you are getting and it becomes more difficult to provide services. >> tucker: why do all the experts like ron brownstein at cnn say you are a bigot if you have concerns and they -- i mean, they're telling you are richer and happier. why won't you admit it. >> sure. i had this discussion. i was on the panel with mayor bloomberg at one time when he said, you know, new york city's economy would crash if it didn't have illegal immigrants. who would wash our dishes and bus our tables and clean

our hotel rooms. small town like hazleton transparent it's an entire different story. >> tucker: yeah, it is. i noticed that michael bloomberg's census track in new york is 5% hispanic. he is a hypocrite. you are not though. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: i want to bring you some news that's just broken. china has confirmed that north korean dictator kim jong un did make a visit to china by train apparently to meet chinese president xi ping. first trip abroad we know about since taking over the hermit kingdom in 2011. comes as preparations continue for a meeting between kim and our own policy. of course, we will be covering that meeting needless to stay and we'll stay on this story more broadly. free speech is the greatest right we have. increasingly it's embattled by the sources of tolerance one high school graduate learned that lesson the hard way. he had a tape recorder with him thank heaven. we got it for you next. termites, feasting on homes 24/7.

who is born black should not feel shame for being black, someone who is born white should not feel shame for being white. i don't think that's -- i don't think that's an upsetting statement to make. i don't think that's being unreasonable. >> okay. thank you. um, i disagree. >> tucker: i disagree. she didn't explain why she disagrees or why he was wrong. she just fired him. tompkins was dismissed from city year. we contacted johnson who claimed that quote political beliefs have no bearing on volunteers. when she shared the recording and told her we had it on tape she refused further comment and we'll leave it to you to decide why. that's about it for us tonight. tune in every night at 8:00 p.m., eastern time to the show that is the sworn enemy of lying pomposity, smugness and especially group think in whose clutches this
