he said they used "confidential human sources," which is what the fbi calls spies. as he put it, "facts matter." hilarious. then comey turned serious, or series as a buffoon can pray in spying on the trump campaign he said was "tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country." he went on to point out that asking the questions about any visible "do lasting damage to america." shut up and obey. we could go on and on but you been watching television lately, you knows what lies they are telling you. jody jennifer is a former district attorney and he joins us now. the ironies in this, jim comey beginning a tweet with "facts matter" are self-evident. to the specifics to mothers spying, use of confidential human sources is tightly regulated. did i judge to sign off on this? >> no. the judge usually doesn't sign off on it. what happened was, this was not

the. traditional use of a sourc. this wasn't spying on a campaign of the opposing party of the incumbent president, who at the time wasma barack obama. what you are hearing from clapper and comey is gas c lighting. this is charles poirier 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 not spying on the trump campaign, why didn't they justan tell the trump people, te russians are coming after you, be careful? because that iss not what they were doing. they were spying on the truck campaign, trying to frame people, set them up, the use of mr. halper, stefanas halper, planting evidence so they could blow it back and use it in fisa warrants. comey, clapper, and brennan, they are psychotics who can't stop lying. >> tucker: what i'm interested

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 theyey needed a story. obama knew all about this. the notion that he didn't is ludicrous. >> tucker: it's shocking to me that nobody sees this as a terrifying precedent going forward, that one administratio administration, suspicious of its political opponents, would use our most powerful law enforcement agency to gather information on them. do we want that to be the president? >> we do not. what's tragic, and the course of doing that, they destroyed the fbi. it will take a f generation for the fbi to return to the respect of the american people that it deserves. james comey, who says he loves the fbi, has actually slit its throat. >> tucker: it sure seems that way. joe,fa facts matter, says james comey. >> lawyer. >> tucker: thank you. aou former trump campaign advis, who has been a sect of the

middle of all of this after interviewsws with mueller's investigators not a moment ago. michael, you said recently in another interview that you became aware of working on the campaign during 2,016 of another potential spy working onn behalf of intel or law enforcement agencies controlled by obama. tell us what you know about that.. >> i discussed publicly the last couple of days, in early may approached me by a former government contractor and the national security arena, through an intermediary, tried to get to me and tell me that the nsa had hillary clinton's emails and that we could get a hold of them if we wanted them. this conversation continued for aa couple of weeks. i eventually toldd them, i have 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 probably peril. >> tucker: and you believe that was in effect a trap

designed to lure you in to compromising the trump campaign in some way? >> ie will tell you what, tucke, for two years i didn't know what it was. i gave the information to the house intelligence committee, the senate intelligence committee, and the mueller investigators when i sat with them two weeks ago or three weeks ago. they didn't seemt interested. i didn't know what to think of it, i scratched my head. the intermediary, an old friend of i mine, we talked about it or dinner dozens of times. we can figure out what it was. then the news came out aboutth best buy -- the spy latching one trump campaign, and the light bulb turned on, and i realized, if this wasn't a tangle of some sword from the fbi or whatever, this was a strange enough where i needed to bring into the investigators weren't interested. they didn't even take notes when i told hi about it. ie thought i should bring it to the public.

>> tucker: can i stop with a really quick? i'm confused. that is pretty close to the b heart of the topic that mueller is purportedly 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 telling us, we could get them, then why aren't they interested? i got to tell you, that is what really set off a red flag for me because they just didn't seem the least bit interested at all. they didn't even take notes. i offered them a timeline i was reading from and my interview and they didn't even take it. >> tucker: that is just absolutely remarkable. we've been following your personal story for a number ofng 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 last couple of days and there is another approach to me

that was done in late may -- the last half of may, by somebody who i believe was organized by the investigators. i can't talk about it on television because i think the mueller team wanted to talk about it a lot, so much that i think they sounded like the authorsed of it. "i want to talk about it with te doj office of inspector general, now that i know that they are responding too the president positively and they are looking into these dangles in front of the trump campaign, i want to talk about both of them, the one i talked about in public, the former national security government contractor who came to me through an intermediary in the first week of may, and this other approach that happened in the last half of may. my attorney is writing a lettere to the office of the inspector general, asking to be invited to testify on this. >> tucker: i hope you will be becausee unlike mueller's investigators, i am interested.

michael, thank you. >> tucker, you see these fbi agents that want to go in as well. they are asking for subpoenas so they conduct the ig about what they saw sitting in the office of the fbi. there are a lot of great men and women who are line agents of the fbi who want to talk and i want them to know, if they are watching, they don't have to wait for a subpoena. and all those legal fees are really expensive. our legal fund at captuo legal fund.com, we'll pay their legall fees. if they go to the inspector general, reveal what happened, we'll pay their legal fees. >> tucker: their work has been besmirched. there is a lot of decent fbi agents and they must be -- >> most of them. >> tucker: michael, thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: mexico's top politicians, all four of them, agree on one thing, their country should continue to funnel migrants into the u.s. is it time to treat mexico as a hostile power it is? a univision anchor with no interest in being tough on that country joins us next. ♪

he said, i will convince them to pay. i don't think he will. he did not suggest breaking mexican law. he did not suggest subverting mexican national security. he did not declare war on mexico.en all four mexican presidential candidates just did that. why should we not consider mexico a hostile foreign power? >> like i was think i might have the candidates showed their willingness to cooperate with the u.s. on issues like border security. the problem is when you have cabinet members traveling to mexico, like secretary nielsen or secretary mattis, to gloat about the cooperation, sign agreements left and right, and then two hours later, president trump tweets that mexico is not doing anything for us. >> tucker: i don't know if you heard my point. i understand, it's a rocky relationship and both sides are at fault and i understand. this is something different from what we've seen. all four men running for thecy presidency of mexico are pledging to intentionally break

i'm not sure if you can accomplish that. i think some people are heartened, okay, the players can take the field, be called upon to stand or respect the national anthem and the play, but i think he is opening 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 1 of 2 things. they could have said, look, we're just going to remove the national anthem from your involvement, everybody stay in the locker room, we'll do it with our fans.s. that would have been option one. option two, it might have been the one i would've preferred, i wish he would have just said, look, if you come out and you disrespect the national anthem, youl want to play. you'll 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's on their team and whether these players want to hurt their team by honoring their protest during the game, make some real consequenceson for that protest. >> tucker: very smart. why didn't he do that? that is 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 t trying to please the actual sports fans and the 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 backgrounds, economically, race, politics, all come together and root for a

meanwhile, two tough new safeguards against searches of imports which would threaten to throw a lot of americans out of work in a short time under. unfair trade practices. >> tucker: george w. bush became president the following year by the policy remained the same. china was allowed into the wto. four years later, president bush declared that deal a major success, "china's membership in the wto has been a good thing for america." but t has it been a good thing r america? that our leaders lie to us? consider these numbers. in 2001, our annual trade deficit with china was $83 billion. today, it is $375 billion. since 2001, the american manufacturing economy has all but collapsed. our apparel, text tile, and wood furniture industries are now half the size they were. a2017 study from the economic policy f institute found that america's trade deficit with china cost us about 3.4 million jobs between 2001 and 2015.

over the same. max, this country lost 60,000 factories. wagesmp and markets that are competing directly with china are lower by more than $200 per adult per year. when theych joined the wto, chia was supposed to follow international fair play, that was the point of it. but they don't and they never have. china relentlessly steals americanan intellectual propert, the annual cost to us, hundreds of millions of dollars per year. china restricts the export of natural resources, like magnesium, silicon carbide, if no such restrictions violate the rules of theen wto. foreign companies operating in china see their technologies stolen, often, forced to partner with local partners who add no value. this a is effectively a shadow tariff on their companies. china's biggest g8, though, is on currency. from 200,022,014, china suppressed as national currency

against the dollar, giving it a huge advantage in the 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 millions of factory jobs across the united states were annihilated as a result. the people who got us into this deal are still around or they are doing great, they are prosperous, bill and hillary clinton, the bushes, members of congress, business leaders, they are in fine shape, not worried about their jobs, their incomes are higher than they've ever been. the center of the country, though, if you've driven through it recently, you know, has been hollowed out. earlier we talked to lou dobbs, host of "lou dobbs tonight" on the fox business network. >> tucker: thanks for joining us tonight. >> great to be with you. >> tucker: china's entry into the wtos in 2001 began hurting america almost immediately and of course 17 years later, it is clear the damage it has done anr yet they remained bipartisan support for it. why? >> because of both are supported

by the same groups. wall street, the business round table, the chamber of congress, and the koch brothers. driving u.s. multinational interests throughout, we've seen it going back to president clinton, in which he talked about china entering the world of nations and playing by the same rules as did p george bush, as did m president obama, and it's been nothing more than a pipe dream and the reality has been trillions of dollars lost in economic growth for this country, millions of middle-class jobs lost, as you know. >> tucker: what does that mean? you see china cheating on the mic under the terms of its mentorship and you decide to do nothing about it, have you conve yourself you are helping america by allowing china cheat? >> they were convincing themselves with a considerable amount of grace and the systems from, a gun, k, lobbyists, the

vessel establishment, who are multinationals and focused, so s all about who is owned, and both 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, courage, the principal, 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 threeti decades. >> tucker: so the bipartisan response to trump's mentioning how we are getting hurt by china by these trade agreements was to say, even among liberals, you can't tamper with the precepts of free trade, you'll startad trade war, people who never free trade before were

out there carrying the banner for free trade. what did you make of that, as a long-time conservative? >> the absurdity is, liberals don't understand economics to begin with or they wouldn't be liberals. secondly, the idea that this president is trying to reverse the consequences of all of those misbegotten concepts, values, and ideas over the course of three decades, he is really the only one who has the guts to stand up over the course of these three decades. i imagine this, and say, we are not going to take it anymore, we are going to focus in the middle class, focus on traditional american values, and search u.s. leadership once again, at least over ther free world, if not our own future. this president is going a long waysng toward asserting that control of our future. he's the only one talking aboutl the future. >> tucker: i don't want to oversimplify, evenn if the midde class has withered and died, no

longer their majorityy in this country, theaj top echelons have gotten richer than any group is ever been in human history. do you think that phenomenon is tied directly to china trade? >> i think it is certainly implicatedwe. we've lost millions of jobs, estimates range anywhere from three to 4 million jobs, outsourcing alone. then you have those jobs ripped out of this economy because of labor arbitrage that is cheaper labor producing goods and china, going to have a competitive advantage over u.s. middle-class wages and workers. thee result is onerous, why we have seen the middle class shrink rather than prosper. >> tucker: meanwhile the finance economy hasas bloomed. lou dobbs, thank you. that was a great description of a sad phenomenon. i appreciate it. >> great to be with you, tucker. >> tucker: while, a 30-year-old manchild has finally been forced to move out of hisea parents basement, court order is making him. cathy areu, the liberal sherbrooke, supports his right to stay.st

>> why? a third of 18 to 35 euros in this country live with their parents. he's actually normal. michael loves his mom. he wants too be with his mom. what is a wrong without? ... parents. he is normal and he wants to be with his parents at a time when he's not ready to move on. you would think his parents would welcome him there. his mom would want to be a good mom and have her son lived there. >> sean: they don't sell my grateful parents. at the age of 30, you're not ready to leave your mom's basements, why are you ready to vote or drive a car or drink alcohol or serve in uniform? >> we don't know if he does any of those things. but we do know that he's not ready tor leave,n he has a bedroom, he does not live in the basement. >> tucker: sorry. i didn't mean to impugn his character. what is wrong with loving your mother. in the future, maybe she will want to live in his bedroom in his house when he is more interested and feels better and has prepared for the world.

maybe michael will have a nice house, maybe a mansion. thankful for their support that they wouldn't spend that money on the lawyers but on him and his future, on their son. >> tucker: i'm trying to discern meaning here. if you love something, you get for free, which i understand. if i love a rolex watch, do i get it for free, if i really love it? >> this is apparent in a child. if you are a parent, you're always apparent. she's always a mom. if it is on, he's always a sign. they should always love each other. they shouldn't hire lawyers" against each other in court. >> tucker: but one of love the watch and i need to know what time it is becauseha otherwise, you need to know what time it is. i love that watch. as a sincere love. why were they call the cops on me? >> it's about responsibility. she gave birth to that child, you do not give birth to that watch. that's different. his mother should understand, it's your responsibility.

it's good for society, for her to take care of this child, her child, no matter how all this child is, and make sure her child is ready to face the world. >> tucker: you can't a jet of this arrangement. once you are born, you have a moral and legal right to sponge off your parents forever? >> i think he loves his mother. michael loves his mommy. he wants to be with her. >> tucker: michael is 30. we've only got 20 seconds. are you concerned about the explosion of man children in our society? is that good for women? >> women and men, 18 to 35, are living at home with their parents. a third of millennials are living with her parents. this is what is happening right now and we seem fine as a society. make america great again, right? >> tucker: nothing like living with mom when you're 30. it is that the brave new world that we shouldew resist. we disagree. cathy areu, great to see you as always.
