my expectation for you is quite simple, always be ready to fight and to win. >> martha: that's why they call him mad dog mattis. see you back here tomorrow night at 7:00. tucker in d.c. is up next. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. it turns out they were all lying to you. the greasy cable show most host. the self-righteous obama administration hacks the corrupt fbi leadership there was no spying on the trump campaign. that's what they told us again and again for over a year. that's what they are still telling us. even as they simultaneously admit that's what happened, that's what they did. that's how dumb they think you are, by the way. that's how much contempt they have for you. they don't even bother to make rationale arguments. they bark louder and assume you will believe it. today disgraced bureaucrat jim comey claimed the fbi didn't really spy on the trump campaign.

they used confidential human sources which is by the way fbi calls spies. comey puts it facts matter. hilarious. but then comey turned serious as serious as a boo football can, spying on the trump campaign, he said was tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country. comey went on to point out that asking any questions about any of this will, quote do lasting damage to america. hey, sirs, shut up and obey. we could go on and on. you have been watching television lately. ohnyou know what lies they have been telling you. joe digenova joins us now. the irony in this jim comey begin ago tweet with facts matter are self-evident. to the specifics, this spying, this use of confidential human sources is tightly regulated. did a judge sign off on this? >> no. a judge did not sign off on this. and the judge usually doesn't sign off on it but what happened was this was not the traditional use of a

source. this was a spying on the campaign of the opposing party of the incumbent president who, at the time, was barack obama. what you are hearing from clapper and comey is gas lighting. this is charles boy yea talking to ingrid bergman trying to make her think all the things that she sees in front of her are not real. they are lying in the most unbelievably brazen and insidious way. if they were -- if they were not spying on the trump campaign, why didn't they just tell the trump people the russians are coming after you, be careful? because that's not what they were doing. they were spying on the trump campaign, trying to frame people, set them up. that's what use of mr. halper, mr. stephan halper was to plant evidence so it would blow back so they could use it in fisa warrants. comey and clapper and brennan are a group of psychotics who now they can't stop lying. >> tucker: i'm interested in

the response from the left the self-appointed civil libertarians who have been telling us for generations about protecting the rights of the jihadi against the state. i asked a member of this house intel committee eric swalwell of california the other night who signed off on this? and he suggested that a judge knew about and approved this spying on the campaign. you are saying that's not true? >> no. well, the fisa surveillance. >> of course. >> signed off by a judge but not this intrusion into the campaign. this was done without judicial approval. >> tucker: why wouldn't we want to know more about how this happened, why it happened. there is no precedent that we know of. why isn't this a big deal in the eyes of liberals. >> liberals are no longer liberals they are progressives. they are now into the woodrow wilson format where everybody is an enemy who isn't on your side. they hate trump so much that they were willing to besmirch the constitution to achieve a goal which was his ultimate defeat at the ballot box and if that didn't work, to have him removed from office.

>> tucker: i feel like i'm going crazy here because i'm reading these stories day after day that are denying what they are reporting. >> right. >> tucker: here is one just pulled out of a hat. some guy called justin miller at daily beast just put this piece up. he refers to it and i'm quoting the false claim that the fbi spied on the trump campaign. >> an informant is a spy. a confidential informant who weevilweasels into any organization for good or ill is a spy. that's the classic definition of a spy. james clapper has actually conceded that it was spying. but, in his word, it was good spying. >> tucker: how could the president of the united states, who oversaw the fbi at the time, barack obama, not have known about it. >> he did know about it, you remember that memorandum that susan rice wrote on inauguration day. memorializing the meeting on january 5th. biden, yeatsd, they were discussing exactly what we're finding out now and they were trying to figure

out a way to explain it because they knew since hillary didn't win now it was going to come out and they needed a a story. obama knew all about this and the notion he didn't is ludicrous. >> it's shocking to me that nobody sees this as a terrifying precedent going forward. one administration suspicious of its political opponents would use our most powerful law enforcement agency to gather information on them dewant this to be precedent. >> they have destroyed the fbi it will take a generation for the fbi to return to the respect of the american people that he steerchesd. james comey who says he loved the fbi has actually slit his throat. >> it seems that way. facts matter. >> they do. >> tucker: thank you good so see you. former trump campaign advisor has been sucked into all of this.

sat down with mueller investigators and he joins us tonight. michael, you said recently in another view you became aware when you were working on the campaign during 2016 of another potential spy working on behalf of intel or law enforcement agencies controlled by obama. tell us what you know about that. >> i have discussed publicly the last couple of days early may approach to me by a former government contractor in the national security arena who through an intermediary tried to get to me and tell me that the nsa had hillary clinton's emails and that we could get ahold of them if we wanted them. and this conversation continued for a couple of weeks. and i eventually told them i had no interest because i thought they would be classified material as a former army veteran who held a top secret clearance i knew that was fraught with peril.

>> tucker: you believe that was a trap to lure you in to compromising the trump campaign in some way. >> i will tell you what, tucker, for two years i didn't know what it as. i gave it to the senate intelligence committee and the mueller investigators when i sat with them two weeks ago or three weeks ago. and they didn't seem the least bit interested. i didn't know what to think of it. two years i scratched my head. the intermediary old friend of mine. we talked about it over dinner dozens of times. we couldn't figure out what it was. then the news came out about the spy latching on to members members of the trump campaign policy committee. a light bulb came on in my head. if this wasn't a dangle of some sort from whatever fbi, whatever this was strake enough where you needed to bring it to the public. i knew the investigators weren'teweren't interested in i. they at this point in time take notes when i told them about it. >> tucker: may i stop you there really quick?

i'm confused by that. that's pretty close to the heart of the topic that mueller is purportedly investigating. >> right. >> tucker: consuming all this money and attention investigating. why would they not be interested in hearing more about that? >> right. if the u.s. government had hillary's emails in early may when this government contractor was tell us we could get them why aren't they interested. i have got to tell you that's what set off a red flag for me. they didn't seem the least bit interested at all. they didn't even take notes. i offered them the time line i was reading from in my view and they didn't take it. >> tucker: that's absolutely remarkable. we have been following your personal story for a number of months now. and you got sucked into this, i think, and it's turned your life upside down. do you expect to have more contact with mueller's investigators? >> i brought this to the public just in the last couple of days. there is another approach to me that was con in late may

or the last half of may byson whbysomebody i believe was organized by the investigators. i can't talk about it on television because the mueller team wanted to talk about it so much so much that they sounded like the authors of it. i wanted to talk about that with the doj office of inspector general. now that that i know they are responding to the president positively and looking into these dangles in front of the trump campaign, i want toe talk about boti want to talkabout bo. one i talked about in public the former national security government contractor who came to me through intermediary in the first week of may and this other approach that happened in the last half of may. my attorney is writing a letter to the office of the inspector general asking to be invited to testify on this. >> tucker: i hope you will be. because, unlike mueller's investigators, i am interested. michael, thank you. great to see you. >> i will tell you, tucker, you see these fbi agents

that want to go in as well. they are asking for subpoenas so they can go and talk to the ig about what they saw sitting in the office at the fbi. there are a lot of great men and women who are lying agents at the fbi who want to talk. i want them to know if they are watching they don't have to wait for a subpoena, i know those legal fees are really expensive. our legal fund at caputo legal fee.com will pay their legal fees. go to the inspector general and say what happened. we will pay their legal fees. >> tucker: their work has been besmirched. many fbi agents. >> most of them. >> tucker: thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: mexico's top politicians agree on one thing country should continual to funnel migrants into the u.s. is it time to treat mexico as the hostile power i it is. univision anchor has no interest in being tough on that country joins us next.

>> democrats are sticking up for ms-13. you heard nancy pelosi the other day like trying to find all sorts of reasons why they should be able to stay. these are stone-cold killers. vicious killers. and when you hear families like that and see families. these incredible families where they lost their daughters in this case, you had some other people in the room that lost sons. this should never happen. >> tucker: that was the president today in long island talking to brian kilmeade who spoke about the menace of that machete

wielding. that airs on "fox & friends" in the morning early nancy pelosi and others have rallied to the defense of ms-13. sadly other people have learned the truth about it rod mickens' daughter was murdered by ms-13. thanks for coming on tonight. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> tucker: what's your reaction to the controversy around the president's description of ms-13 as animals? >> he was actually being very polite about it. you know, he can't really sea what's on his mind because people like to take things out of context. but what they did is a is aadvantage act and he nailed it on the head by calling them animals. >> tucker: why do you think people would defend them? >> because there is always going to be somebody who is going to take something that the president says and take it out of context. then be on the opposite side of what the president is trying to do. which is basically just trying to help us, not my

family but help us, the united states. the citizens of the united states. with this problem with the ms-13 how it's ruining families. >> tucker: it sure is. we are probably roughly the same age. i mean, ms-13 didn't exist when you were a kid. >> no, they didn't. i think they have been around for maybe 20 years in the united states. >> tucker: yeah. tell us what happened to your daughter. >> my daughter mickens was attacked the eve of her 16th birthday. walking with her best friend back to kayla's house and these vicious animals approached them and decided to kill both of them over a dispute that happened in high school between kayla and one of the members of ms-13. >> tucker: had nothing to do with your daughter? >> my daughter was just at the wrong place at the wrong

time she reali was. >> tucker: i'm sorry about that. >> thank you. >> tucker: what did the president say to you today? >> he said we are working hard. we are going to continue fighting to eradicate this gang and america has given us nothing but support about what happened to us and to the other families that also suffered the same way through the crimes of the ms-13. he is sticking behind us 100 percent and so am i. >> tucker: i'm sorry. it's really a shocking and sad story, rob, thank you for coming on and telling us that. >> you're welcome. >> tucker: mexico's presidential candidates disagree on things. they are all united on one point, they want to ship as many people as they can to this country illegally. recent debate tijuana city. all four presidential candidates elected. central american migrants traveling to mexico. enrique is a news anchor for

univision a frequent guest on this show. thanks for coming on. >> great to be here, tucker. >> tucker: this is an act of hostility aimed directly at our national interests by all four of the potential future presidents of mexico. why should we not consider mexico an enemy in light of this? >> candidates say a lot of things when they are campaigning. president trump, for example, said he was going to build a wall on the border and mexico was going to pay for it 17 months into his presidency we know that's never going to happen. i thought the candidates in mexico showed their willingness to cooperate on issues like immigration and border security. >> tucker: you make an interesting point. let me just suggest a the difference between the two pledges. the president pledged to build a wall on american soil with american tax dollars. he did not propose forcing mexico to pay at gunpoint. he said i will convince them to pay.

i don't think he will. but he did not suggest breaking mexican law. he did not suggest subverting mexican national security. he did not, in effect, declare war on mexico. all four mexican presidential candidates just did that why should we not consider mexico a hostile foreign power. >> like i was saying i thought the candidates showed their willingness to cooperate with the u.s. on immigration and border security. both countries are already doing that the problem is when you have cabinet members traveling to mexico like secretary nielsen or secretary mattis to gloat about the cooperation to sign disagreements left and right and two hours later president trump tweets mexico ♪ doing anything for us. that's a lot of frustration. >> tucker: i understand it's a rocky relationship and both sides are at fault for that and i understand. this is something very different from what we have seen before. all four men running for the presidency of mexico are

pledging to break federal immigration law and help flood our country with people we don't want here to our detriment. that's never happened before. no one has ever said that out loud before. all four of them just said that why shouldn't we pause our relationship with mexico on the basis of that? >> it should make us pause about how president trump is unfairly criticizing mexico. this is why. the candidates we're referring to the fact that right now since trump became president, mexico has arrested and deported over 200,000 immigrants. 200,000 immigrants. still president trump insists that mexico is not doing anything to help the u.s. >> tucker: i'm not sure, for the fifth time they just yesterday said they were -- >> -- we might as well not do anything and let those 200,000 immigrants go through mexico. >> tucker: real have any so what would happen if the united states, which it could do in one day with an order from the president to the department of treasurely stopped all remittances from mexico citizens working here and floating the damaged,

corrupt mexican economy with american dollars? what would happen to mexico? oh, it would collapse, actually. so the truth is, without illegal immigration in the united states. >> that wouldn't happen. >> tucker: mexican leaders, who are mostly rich, get to ignore the social problems of mexico and transfer them to the backs of american taxpayers. so, actually, we are doing mexico a massive favor here and to give us a finger like, this why should we put up with that. >> like you said they are not referring to mexican immigrants, central american immigrants coming through mexico. mexico through cooperation and agreements like the one that secretary nielsen and secretary mattis gloat about and the ones that president trump on their minds through that cooperation mexico is stopping hundreds of thousands of immigrants. so what mexico is saying why should we keep cooperating with the u.s. if we are going to be unfairly criticized. >> tucker: how would mexico -- how would you feel as a journalist if, in its next round of presidential lidgeszs in the united states all the candidates

said we are going to take our poor people and send them to mexico. we will help them get into mexico and get on welfare there. would you see that as a provocative threat or would you blame mexico for that as you are blaming the united states? >> that's an excellent question, tucker. >> tucker: yes, it is. thank you. >> we heard president trump refer to mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals. we heard president trump talk about a wall. >> tucker: no. >> we hear repeated criticism about mexico while we're neighbors and strategic partners. >> tucker: i like strategic partners. are you kidding? we float the mexico through our benevolence and you are testing it. so like this is not a peer relationship at all. mexico is a corrupt country run by a tiny oligarchy of blonde people for their own benefit. >> politicians like the u.s. does to mexico has corrupt politicians it's not a corrupt country. it's a great country. >> tucker: why are people fleeing it by the millions. >> making mexico great again

accomplish that i think some people are heartened, okay, the players that take the field will be called upon to stand and respect the national anthem and the flag. but i think he has opened an opportunity for a conversation about the players that don't come out on the field and that will drive a discussion about the nfl that might be a bit uncomfortable and not what the league wants. i really think, tucker, they should have done one of two things. theyed could have said to the players, look, we are just going to remove the national anthem from your involvement. everybody stay in the locker room. we'll just do it with our fans. that would have been option one. option two, and it might have been the one i would have preferred, i wish he would have just said look, if you come out and you disrespect the national anthem, you won't play. you will still get paid, but you won't play. and so, that will force nfl owners and coaches to be a

bit more vigilant about who is on their team and whether these players want to hurt their team by honoring their protest during the game makes them real consequences for that protest u and. >> tucker: very smart. >> there should be consequences for it. >> tucker: that's a -- kind of a brilliant solution. why didn't he do that? >> i think the goal was to please everybody. players, the left wing media that hates football. and then also trying to please the sports fans and the actual consumers of football who just want the players to respect the flag, respect the anthem and put on an entertaining game. people go to sporting events to be distracted from our politics and debates about race. sports and football stadiums have been where people of all kinds of different background, economically, race, politics, all come together and root for a common team.

it hasn't been a place to go to discuss sports. i mean, to discuss politics. >> tucker: that's right. and i think it's great to have a respite from all this insanity. jason whitlock host of speak for yourself on fox sports 1 one of our favorite guests great to see you. >> thank you. >> tucker: thanks. one of the most affluent cities in california has decided that stormy daniels is a national hero win. they have given her the keys to the city. they are naming a day after her. not making this up, of course. details ahead. the digital divide is splitting this country. we have parents who are trying to get their kids off of too much social media and computers, and then we have parents who would only hope their children have access. middle school is a really key transition point, right. the stakes start changing. students begin to really start thinking about their futures. what i like about verizon's approach is that

related. but she has been very brave. how many people want to take on a sitting president, somebody who has been in an industry that is not typically celebrated in this country. >> tucker: should would he be celebrating her industry? is it empowering industry for women, do you think? >> i think that there is a very select few women who do view it that way. and there are some feminist, camille does say that where if you choose to enter that industry. >> tucker: it's not -- it's not empowering for women. empowering obviously it's degrading. let me ask you this sincerely. i'm not sure what the sin is. the allegation is that there was an act of sexual congress between adults who weren't married to each other. is that considered over the line in west hollywood? do they frown on that even evangelical community there? what are they mad about exactly with stormy daniels and trump. >> goes back to the lbgt. west hollywood is very lbgt

friendly part of town. and so they are concerned about the attacks that have happened on their community. >> tucker: wait, hold on. a straight woman who said she had a voluntary sexual encounter with a straight man is somehow a symbol of lbgt resistance? speak fully so i can understand. >> yeah, in this case so the lbgt community in west hollywood, which is concerned about a number of communities that are typically not well-represented in our halls of power in washington, west hollywood has seen stormy daniels being brave standing up, supporter her attorney michael avenatti in his efforts to bring president trump some of these dark parts of president trump and what his people have done around him. >> tucker: dark parts. i'm confused. i'm very familiar with west hollywood. i used to live in l.a. i don't remember it being a particularly puritan callical. are they upset trump has had

this relationship outside of the bonds of marriage? protesting from their point of view. >> i would suggest there is hypocrisy here. if you are going to be taking anti-lbgt distances. >> tucker: no one in this is gay. this is actually insane. really quick. so hold on. i don't know what that has to do with stormy daniels. are there any other porn stars that they are going to honor? >> well, she is the one who is leading the fight. she sex pose ago lot of what is happening in washington. look at what happened with michael cohen today. the taxi king flipped. we got new information out of the bbc about alleged payments from ukraine. there are a lot of dark things. >> tucker: i'm not attacking stormy daniels, would the city of west hollywood because i think it is an incorporated city. would it would it dare have a thomas jefferson day or george washington day? of course not. so what extent are they degrading themselves with this silliness.

honestly, remember proud of this? this is your standard bear? >> i think for as much as you like to pick on michael avenatti and stormy daniels. >> tucker: i don't know who that is. >> michael avenatti. >> tucker: creepy porn lawyer. yeah, yeah. >> sea zealous advocate for his client. >> tucker: is he a zealot, for sure. >> is he driving home for his client. >> tucker: you are obviously not one of his creditors. so that's good. ethan, it's great to see you. great attempt. i appreciate it? >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: elites both party told us empowering china would make us richer and happier it can d. make them richer and happier. how is the rest of the country doing? part three on china is next. insurance that won't replace

>> tucker: one of the biggest economic events in this country is really a seismic event since world war ii was something that most americans barely noticed when it happened. china's admission into the world trade organization. that was the moment when china fully emerged onto the global stage as an economic power. it only happened because america allowed it to happen. leaders in both parties told us that letting china in to the wto would be great for everybody, especially us. here was bill clinton's pitch back in 2000. >> for the first time our companies will be able to sell and district companies in china made by workers here at home without transferring technology and manufacturing. never happened before. for the first time, china will agree to play by the same open trading rules we do. never happened before. meanwhile, we'll get two two

safeguards against surges um imports which would threaten to throw a lot of americans out of work short time under unfair trade practices. >> tucker: george w. bush became president the following year but the policy remained the same. china was allow new to the wto. four years later president bush declared that deal a major success. quote: china's membership world trade organization has been good thing for america. but has it been a good thing for america? or did our leaders lie to us? consider these numbers. in 2001, our annual trade deficit with china was $83 billion. today, it's $375 billion. since 2001, the american manufacturing economy has all but collapsed. our aperil aapparel, textile and wood industry half the size they were. policy institute found america's trade deficit with china cost us about 3.4 million jobs. between 2001 and 2015. over the same period, this

country lost 60,000 factories. wages in markets that are competing directly with china are lower by more than $200 per adult per year. when it joined the wto, china was supposed to follow international fair play rules. that was mostly the point of it but they don't and they never have. china relentlessly steals america's intellectual property. annual cost to us hundreds of billions of dollars per year china restricts the export of natural resource box site. even though it restricts of the w it o. foreign companies operating in china see their technology stolen. often forced to partner with local partners who add no value. this is a shadow tariff on their companies. china's biggest cheat though is on currency. from 2000 to 2014, china suppressed its national currency against the dollar. this gave it a huge

advantage in its exports. that definitely violated wto rules. but the u.s. never took serious action to stop the chinese government from doing this, even as thousands and then millions factory jobs across the united states were annihilated as a result. the people that got us into this deal are still around and they are doing great. they are prosperous, bill and hillary clinton, bushes, congress, business leaders are in fine shape. they are not worried about their jobs. their incomes have higher than they have ever been. the center of the country though, if you have driven through it know has been hollowed out. lou dobbs joined us on the fox business network. thank you for joining us tonight. >> great to be with you. >> tucker: china's entry into the w it o in 2001 began hurting america almost immediately and 17 years later it's clear the damage it's done. there remains bipartisan support for it, why? >> because both parties are supported by the same

groups. wall street, the business round table, the chamber of commerce and the koch brothers driving the u.s. multinational interests through the. we have seen it going back to really president clinton and which he talked about the china entering the world of nations and playing by the same rules as did george bush, as did president obama. and it's been nothing more than a pipe dream and the reality has been trillions of dollars lost and economic growth for this country. millions of middle class jobs lost as you know. >> tucker: what does that mean? you see china cheating under the terms of its membership and you decide to do nothing about it, have you convinced yourself you are somehow helping america by allowing china to cheat? >> i think, again, they were convincing themselves with a considerable amount of grease and assistance from, again, k street, the lobbyists, the vested

establishment interest who are multinationals and focus and who benefit immense will he from that focus. so, the reality becomes that this is all about who and both parties have been owned by the establishment for all this time. what happens with president trump, the fact is he is the only candidate with the guts, the courage, the principle and the understanding of both business and economics as well as national security to have attacked the establishment and the consequences of their horrible policies that they followed in both trade and national security over the past three decades. >> tucker: so the bipartisan response to trump's mentioning how we're getting hurt by china trade agreements was to say, even among liberals, you can't tamper with the precepts of free trade. you are going to start a trade war. people who never supported free trade were out there

carrying the banner for free trade. what did you make of that as a long time conservative? >> absurdity of it they don't understand or they weren't be liberals. second liberatioly, the idea ths president is trying to reverse the consequences of all of those misbegotten concepts, values and ideas o'er the course of three decades. he is really the only one who has had the guts to stand up over the course of those three decades. imagine, this tucker, and say we are not going to take it anymore. we're going to focus on the middle class. we're going to focus on traditional american values and assert u.s. leadership once again at least over the free world, if not our own future. and this president is going a long ways asserting that control over our future. is he the only one talking about the future. >> really quick, i don't want to oversimplify. even as the middle class has withered and died no longer

the majority in this country. top echelon more rich than history. do you think that is tied to china trade. >> i think it is certainly implicated. we have lost millions of jobs. estimates range anywhere from 3 million to 4 million jobs to outsourcing alone. then you have those jobs ripped out of this economy because of labor, cheaper labor producing goods in china are going to have a competitive advantage over middle class wages and workers. the result is onerous. it's why we have seen our middle class shrink rather than prosper. >> tucker: the finance community has prospered. that was a great description of a sad situation. >> great to be with you, tucker. >> tucker: 30-year-old man-child has been forced to move out of his parent's basement court order making him. cathy areu, our liberal sherpa supports his right to stay. she'll explain why. stay tuned. t. ♪

should he be forced to leave? >> why? a third of 35-year-olds live with their parents in this country. he wants to be with his mom. he's not ready to move on. you would think his parents would welcome him there. his mom would want t him to live there. >> if at the age of 30 you are not ready to leave your mom's basement, why are you able to drink or drive a car or serve in the military? >> we don't know he does those things. he said he has a bedroom. he didn't say he lived in the basement. what's wrong with living with your parents? in the future, maybe he will

it's her responsibility. it's her child no matter how old the child is. >> so you can't age out of this arrangement. once you are born, you have a moral and legal right to sponge off your parents forever? >> i don't think it's sponging off. he loves his mother. michael loves his mommy. he wants to be with her until he's ready. >> are you confused about the explosion of man children in our society. >> women and men 18 to 25 are living at home with their parents. that's what's happening right now. make america great again, right? we are making it great. >> it's a sad new world. we disagree. great to see you as always. >> thank you. >> amazing the country this is
