tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News June 6, 2018 5:00pm-6:01pm PDT
5:00 pm
>> sandra: tonight's quote of the night, general george patton who said, wars may be fought with weapons but they are won by men. see you on americans newsroom tomorrow morning bright and early, 9:00 a.m. here's tucker. >> good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. if you've been paying attention to the news lately, you'll are probably confused about a bunch of things. but you know one fact for sure, james comey is a better person than you are. he is a virtuous man, honest, decent, chivalrous. integrity might be his middle name although he would never admit it because he's also incredibly humble. he doesn't make the kind of grubby moral compromises for your sad mediocre life. his ideals are high and he lives them. he has said that repeatedly and
5:01 pm
cable news interviews so obviously it's true. how good of a person? he left the fbi and he's not giving lectures on law enforcement matters, how to unravel international monitoring laundering frames or stop drug trafficking, that would be too obvious and too temporal. instead, he's teaching us about leadership, how to be better people. his is a moral mission. >> i could be useful by offering people a vision of what ethical leadership looks like. >> tucker: it's hilarious actually. but it's not that surprising. keep in mind hypocrisy is a signature fact of this moment. whatever public figures are scolding you for doing, they are almost certainly doing themselves, and avidly, if in secret. the ones who lecture you about feminism turn out to be predators. every gun activist seems to have a farm to gunning it armed
5:02 pm
bodyguard. the doj long awaited inspector general report accuses comey of pursuing his own agenda. that's not a small charge in a law enforcement agency but again, not surprising in this case. mr. polson, thank you for coming on. >> thank you, i enjoyed your monologue. >> tucker: it was heartfelt. i still am a little shocked by what we know. or what we think we know, there are leaks about this ig report, and we will see, it's coming out, 500 pages or so, soon. but what we think we know, comey is being accused of insubordination which is not a small thing in the fbi, is that correct? >> it's grounds for dismissal, absolutely. you have to follow orders and they have to be lawful orders. you are obliged to follow and if you don't, they get rid of you
5:03 pm
and rightly so. >> tucker: so assess what we think the ig report says about how he handled the hillary clinton email investigations, in light of your own experience working on your own investigations. what do you think of the job he did? >> i think we would have to do a term paper on that, tucker. you could do a master's thesis on all the things that went wrong in that case. from the very first day he did his press conference, where he exonerated hillary clinton, and then reopen the case on the anthony weiner matter, we all knew that was wrong. we know that something you don't do, you don't have to have the ig tell you that, if you ever come in on a major investigation in the field of vision, you know that you do nothing that will affect the outcome of and election. and he ignored that. i was flabbergasted when i saw him do it. we could go on and on about how he didn't let the fbi to hit their job, and he acquiesced to
5:04 pm
not having a grand jury. i was only there 31 years and i never saw that, but maybe i'm missed that. then he called it a matter, acquiesced to the loretta lynch issue. being a leader doesn't mean you lead and calm waters, you fight the headwinds and he just never did that. he never put on his fbi hat, always wear his department of justice hat and made decisions he had no business making. i have a big problem with his representation of what happened. >> tucker: you said you were there for 31 years and saw a lot of investigations take place. and you never seen a situation like this were a grand jury wasn't called. is that what you said? >> absolutely that's what i said. from the most in your investigation to the most major investigation, you cannot do your job as an agent or commander, or prosecutor, without a grand jury. the fact that this is a major investigation of national
5:05 pm
importance and he asked acquiesced to not being allowed to have a grand jury, he could have gone to congress. he should have done a lot of things. you have to buck that had water sometimes and he didn't do that. and i think it frankly showed a lack of courage. >> why do you think they didn't want a grand jury? >> they didn't want to find out what happened. it's very simple. if you bring people in for the grand jury, you can get grand jury subpoenas, you can compel testimony, you can compel immunity, you can subpoena documents and information. without that tool you are just begging for cooperation. the fbi never looked at the democratic party -- i'm sorry, the server that the democrats had that was supposedly hacked. they never got that, they said no. well, without a grand jury, you are not going to get it. this is not the boy scouts trying to sell you some candy or something. when the fbi comes to the grand
5:06 pm
jury, that's what you have to do. >> this talks about how the fbi functionally operates. and i enjoyed that. congressman eric swalwell represents the house of representatives from california. thanks for coming out. >> so you were born in san francisco, and i represent that area. can we both agree that we are both rooting for the golden state warriors tonight in the finals? >> want to know. i had given up on california. i wish i hadn't. i'm sure you are is offended on some levels as a hillary voter as i am, from what we are learning about this report. and at that comey went against orders going out on the final days of the campaign and saying they are reopening this investigation into hillary clinton. that probably hurt her. i'm not for hillary, but i think it did, i think it's clear.
5:07 pm
why would you want to -- why is he a hero on the left? >> it's shocking to hear this outrage now from republicans that we were doing this to hillary clinton, how dare they. >> what you heard it from me, i said it. >> well, i thought it was totally bizarre when he did had. >> i will say this. jim comey is an imperfect man, all of us are. but imperfect people are capable of telling the truth and being consistent. in terms of russia company is going to congress numerous times, raised his right hand, put himself under oath and been consistent. so right now we have uncontroverted uncontroverted evidence and that's the only evidence that exists. >> tucker: i wouldn't say he's consistent but if you could explain to me, this is a debate we've had 20 times but it's still unsettled in my mind. why is it okay for an administration to hire an informant to spy on a rival
5:08 pm
political campaign without telling them? why is that okay? are you comfortable with that? >> we have learned today that every person that has been briefed on this except chairman nunez said it's not true. >> tucker: i know there isn't a lot of lying about it but, here's what i read in "the new york times" and what i think has never been contested. the obama administration paid an informant to spy on the trump campaign, and then pass that information back to the obama administration and it never told the trump campaign. is that incorrect? >> i'm not going into classified information. speak out that's not classified. nobody has said that it is untrue. are you saying it's untrue? >> i'm saying informants are commonly used in a lot of cases to help us catch bad guys. if it had been used here that would have been appropriate. but i have seen from the fifa
5:09 pm
applications i have reviewed it, and everything i've seen, but yes, through informants. >> so that is somehow incorrect. i guess what really bothers me is the orwellian lying going around along this. they conceded facts and yet that's not spying? >> spying is what you do against an enemy. >> tucker: i mean, no. you can spy on people you love. you can spy on your own children. it doesn't need to be an enemy. if i am watching you without your knowledge and gathering information on you without your knowledge and i don't tell you about it, i am spying on you. >> but if a candidate for the highest office in the land is drawing himself, his family and his businesses to a foreign adversary, wouldn't we want our government to do everything they can to know what they are doing and stop them?
5:10 pm
>> now. everyone but devin nunes said it's not. >> i think that what mcconnell and gaudi and ryan has said is ludicrous. and i've invited all of them on the show to pose the same questions i'm giving to you. and of course they won't come on because they are too afraid of. they are always welcome to come on. i think an administration should have a really good reason before putting a spy in a rival presidential campaign and i think all of us should be completely freaked out about it and we what should want to know why that happened. >> i absolutely agree with you. you should have a good reason if you are going to use those things. but at the evidence i've seen gave plenty of reasons. >> just make me feel better and to tell me why is spying on the trump campaign was not spying. slowly, so i can understand. >> it was not spying. they were conducting a criminal investigation and in criminal investigations when you have probable cause signed off by a judge you can conduct -- >> i'm
5:11 pm
not asking whether it was justified or not, i just want to start with the definition. everyone is telling me including paul ryan and trey gowdy, people i'm supposed to respect i guess. they are lying to me and i find it frustrating. let's just be honest about what it was and then we can move to if it was okay. >> what it was was working with the russians and doing everything we could to learn more. >> you are allowed to work with anyone you want. you are allowed to say i want closer ties with this or that country. in a free country you are allowed to have different foreign policy views. >> i hope that changes. i'm telling you this for us. i'm introducing legislation tomorrow called the duty to report act. if you are a federal campaign, family member of a federal campaign and you are approached by a foreign power who has given you unsolicited information in a
5:12 pm
campaign, you have to tell somebody. >> tucker: an agent of foreign power. let me just -- i would say a third of the city are agents of foreign powers. >> and we don't want them helping us. >> tucker: i think all of them should leave. but i'm just telling you, you already know, this city is filled with people acting on behalf of foreign government. >> and when they start to meddle in elections, you have to tell somebody. >> tucker: they go up to your building every single day and try to win over your colleagues and nobody said anything about it. >> that should be illegal. and we just learned today that, ivanka was trying to make connections. >> consider her name, it doesn't sound american, we should deport her. but i just want you to be honest, speaker ryan to be honest, everyone to be honest that this was spying. and then to lie to us and say it was something else entirely.
5:13 pm
>> but speaker ryan, mitch mcconnell, myself, adam schiff, we all agree. you and devin nunes don't. >> tucker: i just want you to explain how it's lying. really quick, we are hearing democrats and some republicans honestly say that it is immoral to separate families because of immigration law. that when you detain someone who has broken immigration law and you separate him from his family, it's immoral. when you detain an american citizen from his family, no one complains. why is that? >> if an american committed a violent crime -- any crime. if i get caught shot shoplifting i'm arrested. >> you are not held for months. i met with a woman yesterday, ms. guzman from hayward, california, she told me the story about being separated from her son and 15-year-old daughter
5:14 pm
for months. >> tucker: what about americans who break the law? i don't think you seem upset at all about them being separated from their kids? >> i don't want anyone who is a nonviolent, nonsexual criminal to go and -- >> tucker: wasn't to separate a mother from their child. >> a mother from a nonadult, adult child. nonsexual, nonviolent. >> saw a woman who commits a crime with nonadult kids -- >> it should be a really good reason. >> my wife will be happy to hear that. [laughs] >> the world is changing so fast. we will have a reaction to the immigration story that we just
5:15 pm
discussed and also a pole that shows people in america are more upset about immigration thann they let on. that's next. copd tries to say, "go this way." i say, "i'll go my own way, with anoro." ♪ go your own way once-daily anoro contains two medicines called bronchodilators that work together to significantly improve lung function all day and all night. anoro is not for asthma. it contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. the risk is unknown in copd. anoro won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, glaucoma, prostate, bladder, or urinary problems. these may worsen with anoro. call your doctor if you have worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain while taking anoro.
5:16 pm
ask your doctor about anoro. ♪ go your own way get your first prescription free at anoro.com. when this guy got a flat tire prescription free in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.
5:18 pm
>> tucker: and judging by election results across country, this could be a very tough fall for it republicans. this year it could be worse than usual for a bunch of different reasons, but one of those reasons may be at the republicans are running on entirely the wrong issues. your average republican officeholders seems to believe that most americans love mass
5:19 pm
immigration. they say that all the time. it turns out, it's not true. big republican donors love nest immigration, and so to congressional democrats, it increases the size of their party. consider the new cvs u god of pole. far more immigration thinks it's making immigration worse and not better. 45% of african-american say immigration is hurting them and only 17% say he is helping. how about hispanics, where are they on this? republican consultants tell you and they tell their candidates never to say a negative word about immigration for fear of alienating hispanic voters. turns out that's idiotic and patronizing and actually 44% of hispanic voters say immigration is hurting their communities. just 28% say he is improving things. the numbers could not be more clear. immigration is a powerful issue
5:20 pm
for americans of all kinds, and it's an issue that republicans can win on if only they were brave enough to listen to voters. but, they are not. after a year and a half of total control of congress, no wall is being built, cities are being well funded, chain migration is alive and well. nothing is happening. now that the media is telling you it's immoral to separate immigrant parents with their children, lots of republicans believe that. but wait americans who get arrested are separated from their children. american citizen should be treated more harshly than illegal aliens? how is that? here's the attorney general on the subject. watch this. >> we believe every person who enters the country illegally like that should be prosecuted and you can't give the neighborhood to people who are bringing children with them. if people don't want to be
5:21 pm
separated from their children, they should not bring them with them. >> tucker: when you hear jeff sessions criticize a lot for a bunch of different things but when it comes right down to it on this issue, he is the only person in washington were still arguing that borders and laws matter. to be the rest of this party will wake up and realize they do. lou dobbs joins us tonight. you thought about this issue more deeply than almost anybody i know. does that surprise you that no one has pause to ask, wait a second, if it's wrong for illegal aliens to be separated from the kids when they commit a crime, why is it not wrong for american citizens to be separated from their kids? >> there are predictive groups in the united states but when it comes to illegal immigrants, they are a preferred group. it is so because the establishment, the business roundtable, chamber of commerce, u.s. multinationals, they want cheaper labor, they want open borders and they want to quote unquote harmonize those borders. you don't hear much about the
5:22 pm
north american union anymore, but under george bush and through most of the obama administration, the north american union, that is, bringing canada and mexico together with the united states, was their ultimate goal. they just had to back off because of the numbers that you just showed in that poll. the reality is, americans understand what is happening. whatever the race, whatever the, whatever the socioeconomic dicing you want to do with the numbers, americans know when they are being lied to and they can feel the reality. the reality is that we don't have borders because we in the last month just returned to the highest levels of illegal immigration across our southern borders. >> tucker: it so interesting when you look at these numbers, democrats will tell you, the media tells you and a lot of republicans tell you that people don't like immigration because they are racist, they are bigots. less than 20% of african-american say immigration has made their communities
5:23 pm
better. they are not forwarded. hispanic americans, same thing. so, it's not really about bigotry, actually. because this cuts across races. >> absolutely. and of course the entire left wing and establishment argument collapses if people look at the reality. the reality is, and all of those ethnocentric interest groups and activist groups are basically spewing propaganda. they have -- it's all been picked up by the national left-wing media supported by the establishment and corporate america. obviously, to the detriment of working men and women, particularly at the lowest paying levels in the lowest skill levels, lowest education levels in this country. because of people crossing that border as the president is made clear throughout and it's not coming across on the basis of marriage. they are coming across on the basis of mexican government policy which insist that they be
5:24 pm
transferred to the united states to be the least advantaged among society. >> i remember vividly when we worked at another network and people laughed at you and it turned out, you are completely right. that must frustrate you. >> while they still laugh a little bit i hope because we should have a sense of humor about the reality that is american politics. we just elected a president in 2016 that was talking about each of these issues and the idiot establishments are telling the republic and party they should run on tax cuts instead of on tray to come on jobs, on markets that are improving, and, the issue of illegal immigration. and forces of security. >> tucker: lou dobbs, thank you for that. great to see you. california was once. ask, the greatest of the 50 states and now it's fallen into
5:25 pm
ruin. republican john cox of california joins us after the break then i realized something was missing... me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira.
5:26 pm
5:28 pm
5:29 pm
and at the state doesn't speak english at home. it can california be saved or is it too late? john cox doesn't think it's too late, he will be facing gavin newsom in november and he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. >> thanks for having me. you grew up in california, you live the california dream. now the california dream is to figure out ways to get to texas. we have to change that. gavin newsom would run this state even further into the ground. >> tucker: so what would you -- and it's sad to even report on it but it is the biggest state. there are so many problems in california, we could go on for the rest of the week. but if you were too narrow it down to one thing you can change about the state to give the middle class from fleeing, to keep the state from going bankrupt, what would it be? >> i would have to say it's the tax burden primarily. the gas tax will be really a
5:30 pm
problem here. a state senator josh newman was just recalled yesterday by 60%. they spent $8 million of special interest money to try to keep this guy and office and the voters turned it out. that's a good sign that the voters here are getting it. this election will provide a stark contrast. gavin newsom talked about it, and he wants to have a cradle to college nanny state government, as if this government isn't big enough. or taxing us enough. he wants to expand that. he wants to double the income tax, he wants to increase property taxes and he wants to make sure that we do not repeal this gas tax. i say the people of this state have been taxed enough. they are going to rebel and we will leave that revolt. >> tucker: i don't think they could ever repay that money,
5:31 pm
it's too much. and now they are proposing to give free medicaid to illegal immigrants. so how will the state ever afford that, or any of this? what is the plan going forward? >> i'd like to think that we could grow our way out of it but i don't even think that's available to us. we will have to have some really stark, clear conversations with a lot of these employee unions. as usual, it's the employees who are good, they take the pipe on this. i have to tell you, tucker, they haven't even begun to put any money away from retiree health care, and there are all kinds of state workers that are retiring at 53 or 54 years old. they've been promised health care until they qualify for medicare, and as they know, medicare is going broke at the federal level. the big problem obviously is that california can't print money, and its credit rating is hanging by a thread.
5:32 pm
i am a cpa, that was my first degree. and i have to tell you, i have to level with the people of this state about the problems with the unfunded debt. >> tucker: i can't imagine what it would be like to be a certified public accountant in california, to be a math guy and not live in a state that acknowledges the importance of math. good luck and godspeed. >> i appreciate the opportunity. >> tucker: for the past couple of nights we have shown you the shoddy hiring practices of the faa. not just shoddy but shocking. air traffic controllers demonstrably unqualified at the job, sought out on purpose by the government, and it's still happening. can congress fix it? we will talk to one member, nex next. s new cedar plank seafood bake. tender maine lobster and shrimp, cedar roasted to perfection. or new caribbean lobster and shrimp.

5:37 pm
mind, tommy robinson in the ua is spending 13 months in jail. his crime, trying to cover the trial of a grooming during a period in great britain, trying to highlight rate and assault by migrants is now considered a crime. this man was just caught with 15,000 pornographic images of children, this is his picture on the screen right there. some of the victims in the images were as young as 18 months old. we could go on, but it's disgusting. he goes to prison for nine months. it's a good thing he didn't question diversely because then he'd be in real trouble. we have told you on the show a couple of times about declining standards at the faa, plight of part of the wider war on standards. in the name of diversity, the faa has added an irrelevant biographical section to its hiring process for air-traffic
5:38 pm
controllers. congress could intervene and dictate that hiring be solely based on qualifications. we hope that happens and so does chairman frank kolbe ando. so as you already know, the faa intentionally seeks out unqualified air traffic controllers which is whole horrifying. what we haven't been able to figure out is who is responsible for this? >> first, thank you for raising this again. it was your network who first raised it a couple of years ago and gave us the ability to get some traction, but unfortunately unfortunately it got shot in the door. we were blindsided. under the obama administration and the faa administrator at the time, michael wirt, normally they come to congress and say, we are going to change the procedures. in this particular case, air-traffic controller qualifying.
5:39 pm
what are we going to do? nothing, just did it and blindsided us. we started asking questions, why did you do it? did you check this biographical app to make sure it was going to work? nothing, silence. we've been fighting this for a couple of years, without getting any answers and any explanation as to why come up with a total blindside. we had the department of transportation inspector general involved. we have the government accounting office involved, and it you had a very able guest on, michael pearson, who has done a great job. but because of the lawsuit, both of these agencies shut down. so what was the most egregious part of this? we have already attempted and addressed, and that is the cti students. that's how it first came to me. >> tucker: they intentionally go to school to be air-traffic controllers. >> they have the aptitude and pay tens of thousands to do
5:40 pm
this. it's amazing, and they have the rug pulled out from under them. they were totally qualified and told her, sorry. >> so is there anyone else that should that defends it? >> i doubt it. >> tucker: so why shouldn't congress passed in its authorization for funding for the faa a rule that says you cannot use irrelevant criteria for hiring air-traffic controllers? it's too important. could we do that? >> if i were writing a bill and were able to do it without the consent of our senate and able to do it through our committee, i would do it. >> tucker: need to hire unemployed people who are bad at science. >> they won't put it that way, but you know the way it works. it has to go to conference and the senate gets involved and it gets mocked up. >> tucker: do you think they
5:41 pm
understand -- these are air-traffic controllers. >> people aren't paying attention to it. but what we were able to point out is that the cti students, and may be most egregiously, military, a former military, especially military air traffic controllers are now into the mix again. >> tucker: it's good to come up but if there is a single person who is unqualified and hired for this job again, this is not to become a gym teacher. these are air-traffic controllers. >> and this is also important to know. if one of these people who maybe doesn't belong there gets through the initial process, they have to go through the academy, and they are washed out because the academy puts up with no nonsense. >> tucker: there are more things that are important for bureaucracy. and you are graded on irrelevant criteria, and so, it's wrong.
5:42 pm
>> congressman, thank you. >> it's hard to believe it's real. >> we will keep on it. >> tucker: democrats are finally starting to attack bill clinton but why did they on wait until he was irrelevant? because all they care about is power. that's coming up next. no, no. no, honey, we meant that progressive would be protecting us 24/7. we just bundled home and auto and saved money. that's nothing to be afraid of. -but -- -good night, kyle.

protesters, there was a trans woman in the back, it turns out she is a gender studies professor at the university. so you literally have university professors from gender studies, whatever that is, and we literally have them showing up to silent speakers on college campuses, and that's actually okay these days. >> tucker: they are obviously unhappy people, but did you get to the core complaint? >> they want you to bow forever. that's it, they are not there to listen. they want you to bow and listen to them. they are not there to have the exchange and free speech. i made it so clear. your audience is welcome to watch the whole video, it's about two hours. we put it up, only because i saw people selectively editing it and going, -- they made it seem like i was shutting them down. >> tucker: they want you to bow. on the road with jordan

them. what do you imagine that reason was? >> well, i share your mystification. the stuff that is dribbling out, it is information that tends to connect the cia to the sass s - assassination in one way or other. in november they let a watch out. that showed that charles cabell the mayor of dallas when my uncle was assassinated was a cia operative and had been that since 1956. there was information about the automobile that showed the window had been replaced. 50 years later people should
