the coach and what is an understatement says these are amazing young men. we agree.cheded most ateful you spent the evening with us. good night from washington. i'm shannon bream. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." if you've been paying attention to the news lately, you're probably confused about a bunch of things. but you know one fact for sure, james comey is a better person than you s are. he is a virtuous man, honest, decent, chivalrous. integrity bedle name, though he would never admit it, because he's also incredibly humble. comey doesn't make the kind ofgm that characterizeour sad, mediocre s life. like lincoln or the buddha, his ideals are high and he lives at repeatedly d cable newsviobviously it's true.

how would a person is james comey?he consider what he did after he left the fbi. 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, 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: [laughs] it's hilarious actually. but it's not that surprising. keep in mind hypocrisy is the signature fact of this moment. whatever public figures are scolding you for doing, they are almost certainly doing themselves, and avidly, if inre secret. the ones who lecture you about feminism turn out to be tors. every anti-gun activist seems to haven med body the doj long awaited inspector general report accuses

comey of ignorin the dirsof hisg own agenda. that's not a small charge in a law enforcement agency but again, not surprising inhis case. foer deputy assistant director of the fbi comes join. 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. i 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 b lawful orders. you are obliged to follow and if you don't, they get rid of you 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 big investigio 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'sll the th wrong in that case. from the very first day he did his press conference, where he c exonerated hillary clinton, and then reopened the case on the anthony weiner matter, we all knew that was wrong. that's something you don't do. you don't have to have the i.d. tell youou that. if you ever command a major investigation in the field division, you do nothing that will affect the outcome of a political 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 do his job, and he acquiesced to not having a grand jury. i was only there 31 years and i never saw that, but maybe i'm

edhing. then he calledt a matter, acquiesced to the loretta lynch demand that it be called an issue. being a leader doesn't mean you sail in calm waters, you fight the headanve never put on his fbi hat, always wear his department of justice hat and made decisions he had no business making. tationappened.roblem with his >> tucker: i want to go something you just said. you said you were there for 31 years and saw atigations take p. 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 minor investigation to the most major investigation, you cannot do your job as an agent or commander, or pros,thout a and . the fact that this is a major investigation of national importance and he acquiesced to not d to have a grand jury, he couldn have gone to congress.

hod've demanded an independent counsel. he should have done a lot of things.f you have to buck thean headwater sometimes and he didn't do that. and i think it frankly showed a lack of courage.dd >> tucker: 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 grant 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, youl are not going to get it. this is not the boy scoutsy, trying to sell you some candy or something. when the fbi comes to the grand jury, that's what you have to do. if you don't have a grand jury, you won't find out, and clearly

they didn't. >> tucker: this story needs is perspective. functional information about how the fbi operates. congssman er swalwell represents the house of representatives from california. he's been the center of a lot of the russia investigation joins us. thyofor coming on. >> 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? >> tucker: no!o [laughs] i've given up california, sadly. 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 ig report. apparently. we don't have the report. that comey w against orders by going out of the final days of the campion 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. why would you wanonso do that?

why is he here on the left? because he hates trump? >> it is really shocking to hear outrage from republicans that we were doing this to hillary clinton, how dare they. i didn't hear this -- >> tucker: you heard thator me. james comey.erior leading >> tucker: i thought it was totally bizarre. >> jim comey is an imperfect ma man. imperfect people are still capable of telling the truth and being ct on t of russia, he is going tong congres a number oftimes, raisedis put himself under oath and has been consistent. that is something with the president is notd, willing to do with bob mueller. right now, we have uncontroverted evidence from james comey, that is not lionize again. that is the only evidence that exists. >> tucker: i would say he was te i would just say, can you explain, it's a debate we've had 20 times but it still unsettled in my mind. why is it okay for an administrationin to hire an informant to s on arrival political campaign without telling them? why is that okay?

are you comfortable with that? >> that's not what happened. >> tucker: how is that not what happened? >> every person that has been briefed on thixct chairman nunes, says that the president's account of this is not true. >> tucker: i know there's a a lot of lying here's what i read of new york times" and what i think has never been contested, the obama administration paid an informto spy on the trump campaign, and pass that information back to the obama administration and never told te trump campaign. is that incorrect? what am i missing? >> i want going to classified rmation >> tucker: that is not classified. no one has said that's untrue. is that untrue? >> i am saying that informants are commonly used in a lot of cases to help us catch bad guys. if it was used here, from the evidence i have, it's not an from the evidence i have seen, from the fisa applications are reviewed, and the witnesses we've interviewed, we would want to know everything about how

close -- through informants. yes. i'm okay with that. >> tucker: so that's somow is the orwelan lying going on around us. i just statedrw what i think our facts, you can see. they are facts, and yetha is not buying. how is that not spying? >> buying is what an enemy. >> tucker: first of all -- spying, you can spy on peoe love. you spy oyo own children. it doesn't need to be the enemy. you are expanding the definition. why is that not spying? if i'm watching you without your knowledge, gathering information on you, don't tell you about it, i am spying on you. >> if ate for the highest office in the land is drying himself, family, businesses to a foreign adversary, wouldn't we want our government to do everything they can to know what they are doing and hopefully try and -- >> tucker: one thing at a time. will you concede concede that is spying? >> no. >> tucker: it's not spying?

>> mitch mcconnell, trey gowdy, paul ryan, they all say that it's ning. >> tucker: i think what they have said is ludicrous. i've invited them on the show to am posing toame questions that i you are spying on someone, how is that not spying? >> think the nt -- >> tucker: i think the administration should have a really good reason before putting a spy internet rival presidential campaign. all of us should be freaked out about it and we should want to know why this happened. >> i absolutely agree with you. you shoulave a good reason if you will use an informant, used wiretaps, fisa application on the presidential campaign. evidence i havere seen, though, geson. russians. too close >> tucker: make things better m and tell me why spying on the trump campaign was not spying. to speak slowly so i can understand. >> it was not spying. they were conducting a criminal investigation end. in criminal investigations, would you have probable cause sign-up by a judge, you can conduct -- >> tucker: it's noti'not askiers justified.

i wantnt to start with the definition. everyone is telling me, including paul ryan and trey gowdy, people i'm supposed to respect, i guess, "it wasn't spying." why is it not spying? they are lying to me and i find it very frustrating. let's just be honest about her brother was and we can move too whether it was okay. >> but it a predential campaign willing and eager to work with thesians and they are doing everything they could to learn more. i want our government you ve the russians, chinese, iranians -- >> tucker:yt know, that is not -- you are allowed to work with anyone you want. you are allowed to say, i want closer ties with this or that country. >> really? >> tucker: in every country you are love to have different foreign policy. >> i hope that changes tomorrow. >> tucker: you're not allowed to h different foreign policy views? [laughs] ok. >> i'm telling you this first. part of introducing legislation tomorrow, the duty to report act. if you are a federal campaign, family member campaign, approached by an agent of a

foreign power who is given you unsolicited information, we to tell somebody. ivanka, donald trump jr. -- >> tucker: an agent of a foreign powe i've said this before, i would take a third, . of the city are agents of foreign powers. >> we don't want them helping us -- a of them ould leave. i'm just telling you, this city is filled with people acting on behalf of foreign governments. >> when they start meddling in elections, that's cool? >> tucker: they go up to yourme building, every single day, and to try and win over your colleagues and nobody says anything about it. >> if you are trying to get your china camn, we just learned today, ivanka was trying to make connections -- >> tucker: ivanka is definitely a foreign agent. consider her name, it doesn't sound american. we should deport her. i just want you to be honest, iw want speaker ro honest, i want everyone to be honest that thin'yi. i guess that is cool with you. but it wasn't spying. to lie to us and say it was something else entirely --

>> speaker ryan, mitch mcconnell, myself, trey gowdy, adam schiff, if we all agree and you and devin nunes don't agree, don't you think there's something odd? >> i just want you to explain it,ctually. really quick, we are hearing democrats and some republicans, honestly, saying that it's immoral to separate families because of immigration law. when you detain somebody who has broken our immigration line to separate him from from their f, it's immoral. when you detain an american citizen from , you separate them their family. why should illegal aliens- if i get caught shoplifting, i am -- >> you are not being held in the are detaine all the>> tucker: . time. >> a woman from hayward, california, you tell me the story of being separated from her son for months, her 15-year-old daughter as well. it is heartbreaking. she was just trying to seek

asylum -- >> tucker: what about americani don't think you seem t about them being separated from their kids. >> i don't want anyone who is nonviolent, nonsexual criminals -- >> tucker: to go to jail? people go to jail for many years for nonviolent crimes all the time. bernie made off kid. he was separated from his faly. did y cry about that? serious. - it was a nonviolent crime. >> separating a mother from their child. >> tucker: i don't know. a mother went to pso >> a mother from a nonadult child, tucker. >> tucker: oh, nonadult child. any woman who commits a crime was not nonadult kids should not be a -- >> thereulbe a really good reason. immigration law is n good reason. >> tucker: it's different based on gender and parenthood. [laughs]ul congressman, great to see you play the world is changingo fast. i just need someone to explain edge. lou dobbs will be here to react to the immigration story we just discsed. also responding to the poll that shows basically everyone in america is more upset about immigration than they are happy

♪ >> tucker: judging by election results across the country, this could be a very tough well for republicans. the incumbent party typically gets hurt in the midterm, almosl worse than usu a bunch of different reasons. one of those reasons may be that republicans are running on entirely the wrongs. the average republican officeholders seem to believe that most americans of mass immigration. they say that all the time.

turns out it's not true. big republican donors love mass immigration, so do professional democrats, increases the size of their party. normal people are veryical of it, actually. consider new cbs poll. it's amazing. for more americans think immigration is making the community's, not better. it's not just the dreaded right people democrats are seeing tha. only 17% say it's up to helping. how about hispanics? republican consultant until their candidates never ty a negative word about immigrationc for fear of alienating hispanic voters, turns out, that is an idiotid patronizing. actually 44% of hispanic voters say immigration is hurting their communities. just 28% say it's is improving things. the numbers could not be more clear. immigration is a powerful issue for americans of all kinds, and

it's an issue that republicans can win on if 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, citieare being well funded, chain migration is alive and well. nothing is happening. now that media is telling you it's immoral to separate immigrant parents with their children, lots of republicans agree with this. but wait, americans who get arrested are separated from their children. american citizens should be treated more harshly than illegalat aliens? how is that? here's the attorney general on the subject. c watch this. t >> we believe every person who enters the cou like that should be prosecuted and you can't give the immunity to people who are bringing children with them. if people don't want to be separated from their children, they should not bring them with them. >> tucker: so you hear

jeff sessions criticize the law for a bunch of different things but when it comes down to this type of things, he's the only person in washington arguing that borders and laws matter. maybe the rest of his party will wake up and realize they do. lou dobbs hosts "lou dobbs tonight" fox business and he joins us. it's great to see you. you thought about this issue more deeply than anyone i know. does it surprise you thatt no oe positive to ask, and say, is it wrong for illegal aliens to be separated from their kids when they commit a crime, why isn't it wrong for american citizens? >> because there are protected groups in the united states. when it comes to illegal immigrants, they are a preferred group. it is so because the establishment, the business round table, chamber oft, commerce, u.s. multinationals, want to cheaper labor, open borders, they want to "harmonize" those borders. you don't hear much about the north american union anymore. but under george bush and

through most of the obama administration, the north american union, canada and mexico together with the united states, it was their ultimate goal. ey had to back off because of the numbers you showed in that bolt to poll. the reason is, americans understand what is happening. whatever the race, whatever their gender, socioeconomic dien and you want to do with the numbers, americas and to know when they are being lied to them they can the reality. reality is we don't have borders because in the last month just returned to the highest levels of illegal immigration across ourr southern border. >> tucker: it is so interesting when you look at these numbers, democrats and the media tell you, and a lot of republicans tell you that a lot of people don't like immigration because they are racists. less than 20% of african-americans say immigration is made the communities better. the not for it. hispanic americans, same thing.

it's not about bigotry, actually. this got to cuts across races. >>. the entire left-wing and establishment argument collapses of people look at the reality. the reality is that all of those ethnocentric interest groups and activist groupsre basic know mike basically spewing propaganda. it's been picked up by the national left-wing media supported byor establishment in corporate america. obviously, the detriment of working men and women, particularly at the lowest payingt levels, lowest skilled levels, lowest education levels in this country. th crossing the border, as the president has made clear throughout, are not across on the basis of merit. they are coming across on the basis of mexican government policy, which insists that they be transferred to the united states, the poor, the

least advantaged among their society. >> tucker: you been saying this years and i remember vividly when we worked at another network and you said things like that afterd it turne right. it must frustrate you. >> they stillat laugh a little t i hope because we should have a sense of humor about the reality that is american politics. we just elected a president in was talking about each of these issues and the idiot establishment are telling the rhinos in the republican party they should run on tax cut instead of on trade, jobs, maets that are improving, and the issue of illegal immigration and border security. >> tucker: lou dobbs. thank you for that. great to see you. >> great to be with you, thanks, thanks. >> tucker: california was was a paradise cup the greatest of e 50 states. now it has fallen into ruin. after years after yesterday's primary, is there any hope for at? gubernatorial candidate john cox

give free medicaid to illegal immigrants. how will the state ever reported afford that? what is the plan going forward to keep state solvent? > i tnk could grow our out of it, but i think we will have some stark, clear conversations with a lot of these employee unions, and as usual, it's the employees who are going to take the pipe on th they are the ones that are going to get hurt. i got to tell you, tucker, they haven't even begun to put any money away for retiree health care. and there's all kinds of state workers that are retiring at 53, 54 years old, and they have been promised health care until they qualify for medicare. as we know, medicare is going broke at the federal level. the big problem obviously is that california can't print money. its credit rating is hanging by a thread.

did you check this biographical to make sure it would work? nothing, silence. so we've been fighting this now for a couple of years without getting any, any planation as to why, with a total blindsided. we had the department of transportation inspector general involved. we had the government accounting office involved. and you had a very able guest on, michael pearson, who is doing a very good job. but because of the lawsuit, both of those agencies sort of shut down. so what was the megregious part of this, we've already attempted and addressed, and that is that the cti students, that is how this first came tom- >> tucr: cti students are kids who have gone to school directly, intentionally to become air traffic controllers. >> they have the aptitude and they've paid tens of thousand dollars to do this. it's amazing. and they had the rug pulled out from under them. totally qualified, ready to go

enough attention. but we were able to correct, which i think is important, the cti studentsaybe most egregiously, military, former military, especially military air tr controllers, are now mix again >> tucker: is good but if there is a single person who is unqualified and hired for this job, again, this is not to become a gym teacher. >> no, it's not. >> tucker: these are air traffic controllers. >> this is what is important to know. if one of these people who really maybe doesn't belong there gets through the initial process, they have to go through the academy and are washed out because the academy will put up the no-nonsense. >> tucker: i don't believe that for a second. the directive iings that a moret than ability. everyone in a bureaucracy knows, you are graded on a relevant criteria, like your commitment to diversity. you will have bad people get through, of course. >> it's wrong. >> tucker: it's totally wrong. congressman, thank you.
