out being there. which is probably better for everyone. that's insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. they've always been so supportive. >> go fly. ♪ >> tucker: welcome to tucker carlsson. the purpose of the u.s. government is to protect those rights and it worked. but the left no longer believes it. the bill of rights applies only to people who agree with them. their views are protected by the first amendment and yours are hate speech. you can't be trusted to have a gunner in home. and now people who disagree with them no longer have freedom of moment or association. they can't go to movies or

restaurants. if they dare leave their homes they are threatened. last friday press secretary sarah huckabee sanders were forced to leave a restaurant because the owner didn't like the restaurant. sarah and her husband went home and the rest of the family went to another restaurant. and progressives continued to harangue them as they tried to eat. this is happening to a lot of people. they have amassed outside of the home of white house aid stephen miller. they put up mock wanted posters with miller's face on them. and a employee found a burned decapitated animal carc kas on his porch. activist on the left are moving to violence and they are aware of this and some applaud it. and they explained intimidating trump supporters is just the
9:02 pm
minimum baseline. this is going to get more extreme and it should, how extreme? the article fondly recalled the domestic terror bomb in the 1970s. that is our future, the article said. we are headed there fast. over the weekend, congresswoman maxine waters urged the mob to hunt down and find members of the president's cabinet. here's part of it. >> you ain't seen nothing yet. [cheering] you have members of your cabinet that are being booted out of restaurants. you have protestors at their houses. no peace and no sleep. no sleep. let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up and if you see anybody from that
9:03 pm
cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you draw a crowd and you push back on them. and you tell them they are not welcome anymore or anywhere. >> tucker: maxine waters is not just any member of congress. she is called a folk hero and buzz feed calls her unchallenged new face of the democratic party. she is. and she is a self described civil right's leader. that marks it weird that certain people denied public accommodations. sorry we don't serve you at the lunch counter and she said it yesterday. >> i stand by my speech in saying that the protest have already started and probably going to continue. >> tucker: the message of all of this is clear, the left no longer considers the political
9:04 pm
opponents fellow citizens or human. and how long before they call for something bad for them to happen. in the case of maxine waters it will not be the first time. she cheered as racist mobs burned los angeles. she put it. riot is the voice of the unheard. when denny was dragged from his truck and beaten, waters championed the attacker and partied with them after their trial. waters has a record of endorsing mob violence. democrats don't care. to his credit schumer called waters not american. good for him. but hardly anyone ils said anything. nancy pelosi blamed donald trump for what waters said. that was the theme. stop hitting me as they threw the punch. >> i feel we are in nazi germany and the things that are occurring and the lies and totalarian behavior is shocking
9:05 pm
and horrendous. and we have to be vigilant. >> they follow the exact pattern hitler and he's evil. and he will come in and he doesn't know. he does the show man ship thing. it is it evil. >> this is about racism. this is pure and simple racism. and the people who support him are frightened to death of this country becoming the browning of america. >> tucker: something interesting has happen. as progressives are less tolerant they seem convinced they are fighting actual nazis rather than the fellow americans who in the scheme of things have small differences. it is not surprising. once you decide that the people who disagree with you are nazis, everything is allowed. why wouldn't you threaten them in restaurants or burn their
9:06 pm
houses down. it could end in tragedy. start talking like this and you don't know where it is going to go. james in a support for democrats announced those calling for calm are accomplices of the current administration. accompli accomplices? this is language of war and we are heading toward something awful and the only people who can stop it are the adults on the left. democrat members congress and entertainment and median chieftans cnn and they are silent and cowering and compliceit in all of this. and the country needs them to cool the rhetoric and no more nazi talk and no more screaming at people in restaurants. there is a point of no return and we are approaching it and we need their help to pull back. peter is joining us.
9:07 pm
peter, thank you for coming on. given everything that you have seen, what would happen if the people who are encouraging mob intimidation and extremism and they are encouraging it openly. what would happen if they took the reigns of actual pour in this country? >> there is two instances in the history of the united states where this kind of activity is replicated and i would think that reconstruction era. you had a resistance in the south resisting the results of the civil war and the reunification of the country and you had public officials exporting private citizens t deprive other private citizens of their rights to public accommodations and privilege and immunities that were sec the civil war. that is only happened once before in history where public officials are exhorting the private officials. and that was the klanwho was the
9:08 pm
military ring at the time of the southern democrats to deprive blacks of their rights under the law and deprive them of public accommodations. you might say jim crowe era. but they were not exorting private citizens to doo although it did occur. but now we have this. it is extraordinary. we are at an inflection point for a host of reasons. but the framers gave us a republican system of governorance to shield us against the mob passions of the day. that was with a informed citizenry and responsibly elected officials. as to the former, we have an extremely biassed media that doesn't really inform but
9:09 pm
harangues and acts as an organ for one particular side to get the view out. and the educational system has not taught history for 30 years now. and if you look back at the last 50 years tis difficult to imagine any of the founding fathers matted son and jefferson and line conand roosevelt and eisenhower and reagan inflaming the electorate. but aside from that not inflaming but not trying to tamp down the passions and ret rake that founders understood that was agnath ma. >> tucker: you put it in a perfect perspective. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: we have robert petio
9:10 pm
who a attorney and activist. thank you for coming on. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: if progressive activist have a right to intimidate and scream at people they disagree in restaurants outside of their homes, what are the boundaries of that? do you have a right to show up at someone's soccer game and scream at parents and at the person's church and funeral? what are the boundaries in the new activism on the left? >> one of the things that is important. you talk about first amendment rights and freedom of speech. what maxin waters said who ever exercised the freedom of speech. we are in a swamp territory in dc. individuals only listen to lobbyist and special interest. only time you speak to an official in public. by all means, don't commit violence or harm the individual. but lead them know how you feel.
9:11 pm
people have a righto exercise the first amendment rights. >> tucker: it is it stunning for me to take a lecture about the first amendment from anyone on the left who are trying to curtail the first amendment. but leaving that aside. it is not a debate about the right to speak. it is it a debate whether it is appropriate to scream at people and force them out of for example, restaurants this is not winning them over. it is an effort to intimidate it. you can't tell me they are trying to inform sarah huckabee sanders, they are punishing her. >> the administration don't talk to the american people and they don't have regular press briefings or town hall. this is the only time they speak with him. >> tucker: she -- wait hold on. >> there is a difference. >> yesterday, you said they don't give press briefings.
9:12 pm
we hear a lot from the administration and its opponents. and i welcome that uniquey on television. i lining debates and am glad you are here. we disagree. we should have a conversation. you don't have a right to scream at me in a restaurant from front of my children or scream at a my home or come to my funeral. do you see the difference in intimidatinge in the public space. >> understand the entirity started with the lack of messaging on the parts of the administration. they didn't reks plain what is happening to the children. if the president and administration want to have a conversation about this, do what other administrations did. town hall and speak to voter and let people express their feelings to the administration and understand what public opinion is. don't hide behind the walls of power. no one is going to soccer games. >> tucker: no, actually.
9:13 pm
>> they are saying it in public. >> those are public spaces and the point i am making. once you describe people you disagree with politically as nazis, as the worst category of nonhuman beings, you are almost by definition encouraging, first of all you are closing out any possibility of agreement or compromise and basically saying hurt them. what do you do? honestly i am sincere to you. if you thought nazis were taking overment country, i would consider force. i don't want to be governed by nazis. that encourages violence. >> no, tucker, in the obama administration he was accused of being a muslim sleeper and not a american citizen. this is what happened. joe wals yelled during the presidential address. somebody has to fix the issue. but right now the administration
9:14 pm
refuses to talk to the american people and difficult to get in there. >> tucker: so much for the flack for the white house. but holy smokes, he did an hour long event yesterday and tomorrow. they speak a lot. the issue is whether you have a right to take political differences and turn them into a mob retaliation against the people you disagree with. can we agree that the left should stop calling them nazis. or is it okay to liken them. >> we can agree on that. but can the right not support nazis. that. >> tucker: i never met anybody who supports them. i agree with that. it is one thing to say of someone who is espousing, nazi views, you are a zi.
9:15 pm
bu to say about somebody who disagrees with you on immigration policy. you are saying i don't debate you, you i will destroy you. that's what the left is saying. >> when we don't condemn david duke or neonazis ina charlottesville, that is. it is a difference between having a town hall speaking with people and getting their side of the conversation. that helps all people. >> tucker: yeah, okay. robert, thank you. fox senior political analyst brit hume joins us tonight. brit, i don't want to be hysterical. or read more into it. you have more perspective than i. it is a place we moved no possibility of compromise and the other side sees the other to be destroyed. >> i completely agree with this.
9:16 pm
when maxine waters will rise. she will be recognized as the gentle lady from california. maybe not many people think she is a gentle or a lady. members address them as ladies and gentlemen. and in the senate, they are discouraged from addressing each other directly on the floor but speak to the presiding officer calling him mr. president or refer to him i disagree with the distinguished senator from whatever. there is a reason for the custom and they are this. political debates can be heated and can become quickly personal and go to brutal name calling we have seen and harsh things are said about one another and that can in turn lead to violence. in 1856, as most people who studied american history know. a senator from massachusetts james charles sum sner was
9:17 pm
canned to death on the senate floor by a member from south carolina on the issues that divided us and that was slavery. we are hearing the same harsh rhetoric today we heard in that era. it is dangerous as steve scalise can tell you and tommy sumener can tell you. this is why the two institutions recognize the talk and behavior have consequence and they can be severe. >> tucker: wouldn't it be helpful the adults on the left stood up and said. we can't call people nazis anymore. and people in the other channel should say don't call them nazis. it is too far. why are they not saying that on the left? >> let me suggest this. the president deserves some responsibility. he has tossed the harsh
9:18 pm
language. and snow slight is not too small for him not to have a nuclear reaction and he said the strongest things. and the president will say or tweet something that is characteristically not precise and very often exaggerated. and the critics respond by taking the most extreme interpretation of what he has said and react accordingly and the spiral begins and pretty soon, you are hearing them accuse him. consider over the weekend. the president mused about we shouldn't have to go through a laborious and time consuming legal process to keep imlegals from comes in the country. he was immediately accused of being authorityitarian and eliminating the due process. what he describes is the way that many countries deal with illegal border crossers and some
9:19 pm
of them are dealt by the now in this country. but that was lost on the news stories. it was described as an attack on the judicial system and once start this sort of exaggerated reaction, it spirals out of control which is what you are worried about and i know i am worried about. we need in america to keep a civil tongue. >> tucker: confronting people in public is too much. >> i agree with you. >> tucker: great to seeut. the supreme court hands the white house a victory. details on that are next. its. deta ♪

9:23 pm
ï ¿>> tucker: at one of the very first acts of the current administration has been vindicated after nearly a year and a half. today the supreme court upheld the constitutionality of the president's travel ban. the left reacted and it's typically restrained way and then the republic tweeted, if it wasn't clear, it should be now. democrats should prepare to pack the supreme court. david deferi he is a lawyer and he joins us now. thanks for coming on. you had a band that didn't mention muslims and did not restrict immigration from the biggest muslim countries but did restrict it from non-muslim countries like north korea. can we just say now that was probably the dumbest talking point ever, and it was a lie. >> you know tucker i was on your 1show exactly one year ago today 1to argue about this with you. one year ago the supreme court issued its decision that overturned the halt on the ban.
9:24 pm
now the supreme court has made its final ruling on the third band. that third band is different from the second man and much different from the first band. but in the end, there are many who still believe that the purpose of the ban was to ban muslims from coming to the country. and there is some support for 1that. so what i think is, this is still really bad policy for the country. there are some good legal arguments now that supreme court took hold of and a very thin majority, 5-four, used to rule in favor of the ban and support the band. this is still bad policy because we are -- >> tucker: okay. >> lots of muslims who were not a security threat and we found some muslims who have actually engaged in terrorist acts here in the united states. >> tucker: it so how would we know, for example, if in an immigrant is from afghanistan,
9:25 pm
somalia, s? do we trust those governments to keep close track of the records that are -- of the people coming here? that's a rhetorical question, the answer is obviously not. so why would we take any risk if we ever can't know or will know who they are? >> obviously the administration thinks it knows and that's why it's taken the time to ban people from certain countries. they think they can figure it out. >> but don't we know, to a degree that if you are coming here from somalia, it doesn't have a government functional enough to keep track of who you are, and to pass on any applicable or relevant records about you? that's a different dysfunctional place. same i would argue syria under conditions of civil war right now. same with afghanistan. so who would disagree with that? do we trust the governor of somalia to tell us the truth? >> at the trump administration disagrees with you about somalia. >> tucker: while they may, but they are not here.
9:26 pm
but i'm anding you. do you trust the government of somalia to the vet for us, the people of somalia who come here? is obviously crazy. >> what we have to trust somebody, right? so when dhs, the state >> tucker: why the somalia government. department -- when they did a review they concluded actually, this administration concluded that somalia did have some procedures in place that warranted it not to be in the band. -- ban. then it was put back in the band. >> tucker: why would i trust some bureaucrat at the state department with my country, and my children? like, how would we know? let's be honest here. the state department, the administration says, don't worry about it. we trust the government of somalia. why shouldn't i laugh at them when they say something so self-evidently stupid and dishonest to me? >> a couple of reasons. first of all americans deserve to be secure.
9:27 pm
we need to put things in place to protect them. but with respect to somalia, any immigrant who seeks to pay the to come here, they go through a review process. those review processes generally work. and our people here who apply for a visa, they don't trust the simile in government. they look at the documents, they do venting. -- vetting. they do an interview. >> how many people -- this is so stupid. we don't have anybody on the ground in somalia. how many state department employees are vetting the many hundreds of thousands of somali refugees who have come to this country? how many are there in somalia? honestly, do we have thousands of them? eight? do we have thousands of them? >> the introduce don't place in somalia. >> we have to travel to djibouti, they have to go to the u.s. embassy, and do the process there. >> but we can't bet any of it -- vet any of it. because somalia is not functioning country.
9:28 pm
it's not fine. bureaucrats are lying to us. and it is not fine actually at all. and we know that now, because we have -- actually they don't show that at all. >> no american has been killed by a simile that came to the united states. >> and how much money to somali terror groups al-shabaab has flown from minneapolis the last three years? -- 15 years. we are out of time, unfortunately, but if you would tell me how we are vetting these people, i would be assured to know. great to see you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: hillary clinton's excuses to her continues to circle the globe. we will tell you the light latest triumph of blame shifting and excuse mongering, next. n a e i have to wear a giant hot dog suit. what? where's that coming from? i don't know. i started my 401k early, i diversified... i'm not a big spender.

9:31 pm
9:32 pm
>> tucker: it's not exactly the rolling stones on tour, but hillary clinton's endless excuses world tour is doing brisk business still. clinton was recently in the united kingdom where she began complaining about the american electoral system. here is a selection. >> in the u.s., it was a perfect storm. deep currents of anger and resentment flowing through our culture. a political test that told the press that told voters. world my emails for the most important story. unc precedented intervention in our election by the f.b.i.
9:33 pm
and on information warfare campaign waged from the kremlin. >> tucker: waged from the kremlin. the darkest resources of the kremlin no doubt. but the 2016 election is still atop the conversation. the president brought it up himself last night. during the rally in south carolina. here is a selection from that. >> she writes a book and she does the tour. how many reasons that she give for losing the election? every week it was a different reason. right? she blamed everyone for losing the election, except yourself. -- except for one person, herself. >> tucker: tammy bruce is a radio show host in new york and obviously a frequent and treasured guest on this show. i don't want to carry water for the kremlin, but i can't resist asking. what do you think this is about? i've asked you many times, but i'm still baffled. >> it matches what we were discussing earlier in the show about the left-wing reaction to the election. based in emotion, no facts, it has nothing to do with policy
9:34 pm
and everything to do with some up session if you will, and obsession and rage. and rage rage. she is on foreign soil, in addition, and yet now, she's not only confronting trump about policy, or about having better ideas, and this is a problem in that speech. she also compared him to turkey's tyrannical leader who just got reelected. that is in and of itself a remarkable dynamic. but she still, personally for some reason, can't resolve the fact that she failed. that this was not going to happen. and when she talks about a russian conspiracy, it really was about the simple basic decisions in the campaign like not going to wisconsin. very basic campaign decision-making that contributed to that failure. >> tucker: is a you think this is an example of a public figure living out her emotional life in public? >> tammy: yes.
9:35 pm
as a woman, and i want women in power, we are terrific leaders. the fact that this has become an almost stereotypical cartoon of what happens with a woman, misogynists argue that women are not rational. we don't look and deal with the issues properly and we can't be reasoned with. this is not helpful. it is a shame and, at the same time, you are arguing -- and when she argues against the electoral college as an example, she is arguing that the entire republican structure of the united states is at fault as well. it's a founders now who are the problem, for now to be blamed. i think that she is a representation also of what is happening here at home with the left and what's going on now with all of the harassment and violence. >> not helpful. that's exactly right. i think candidly a lot of people who support her probably fl that way as well.
9:36 pm
thank you for that. >> thank you. president trump's new executive order has not halted the crisis on the border. one u.s. senator says, american officials are ignoring those directives and actively encouraging illegal immigration into our countries. that senator joins us next. directives and actively encouraging illegal immigration before i had the shooting, burning, diabetic nerve pain, these feet... ...raised a good sport... ...and became a second-generation firefighter. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. and he prescribed lyrica. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica.

9:41 pm
the question is, can you make the agencies and bureaucrats carry it out? i think the question many of us have our, are the many bureaucrats working for this administration in sync with policy priorities and are they actually trying to curb illegal immigration in this country? do you think? >> if they are forced to follow laws in this country. we have laws that prohibit us from prosecuting the people coming to this country illegally, and keeping family units together. we don't have capacity in terms of beds, so we do have to follow the laws. it's the laws, the legal presence and loopholes i created that created this mess. that's what congress needs to fix. >> so it sounds like the laws are 100% weighted on the side of foreign citizens breaking the law against the interest of american citizens who run the government and pay for it and on whose behalf it exists, is that correct? >> pretty much, right.
9:42 pm
we have the feinstein amendment, the human trafficking law. they are the ones that said cbp can only hold a child for 72 hours and then we have to turn that child over to hhs. then hhs has no problem deporting those children. since 2012, i was kind of sparked by daca. those children, 99% of those are still in the country. and then the way be handle family units under president obama because again, you can't keep the children with adults if you are going to prosecute them and put them in an adult detention facilities. as a result, the obama admistra together which was called catch and release. if we do not detain people coming to this country illegally, they don't show up for hearings and it's impossible to deport them. many common family units and they've been coming from central
9:43 pm
america since 2012. 900,000. we have 3300 beds in certified detention facilities, and we and 40000. have 900,000 coming in here since 2012 so we simply don't have the capacity. >> tucker: i'm not a progressive so i don't assume that everyone i disagree with his evil. i think there have to be some democrats who see this for what it is, a crisis that hurts the country. are you familiar with any legislation sponsored by democrats on the hill and backed by democrats on the hill? that would address the crisis meaningfully, any? >> i am not because by and large they want open borders. but we know it works. michael chertoff, when he was secretary of homeland security, faced a similar crisis in 2005 when we had an influx of brazilians coming in. 31000 in 2005. he instituted a policy of apprehending, processing and returning them to brazil very
9:44 pm
quickly, called texas hold 'em. within a year, that was down below one year. we found out through that process that rapid deportation and returning those individuals that don't have valid asylum claims actually discourages further illegal immigration. we have done the exact opposite during the obama administration. then when president trump tries to enforce the law, he finds out that they are just legal precedent as well as the active -- lack capacity to just do it. >> when you enforce the law, people are more likely to obey the law. senator, thank you. what a concept. i appreciate it. meanwhile in great britain, a man named tommy robinson is still languishing in prison. this crime was an attempt at covering a rape trial. but no one wanted to hear it. that's coming up next. was an at covering a rate trial. covering a rate trial. but no one wanted i am all about living joyfully. ♪

it in this hour. for centuries, great britain was the forefront of human freedom. that country gave us the freedom of speech and of the press. it led efforts to abolish the slave trade and the country created the common law and due process rights that we take for granted today. but freedom in great britain is on the decline. time robinson, for example. meanwhile a judge is calling for the mass blunting of kitchen knives in the u.k. in response to a wave of knife attacks, as if that's the cause or the solution. it is a mess. anne-marie waters is going to talk about that. those in the u.k. are looking on in stunned surprise us about what is happening to tommy robinson and, more than that, the lack of response from what
9:51 pm
is being done to him in retaliation for speaking what he thinks is true. has he there been any complaints about what's going on? >> absolutely not. tommy robinson is persona non grata as far as the mainstream media is concerned. as far as various human rights groups, they ignore any persecution of people that they don't politically agree with. tommy robinson is one of many people who faces and has faced and continues to face persecution of some kind. if you say anything negative, even if you don't go along with a positive, the endless praise of islam in this country, you will find some form of persecution, whether it's by the state or in terms of arresting people for islamophobic comments or from the media, regardless of what your political views may be.

then persona non grata, so the mainstream media is not expected to speak up for him. he speaks negatively about islam that is a persecution, and as you say our freedoms are rapidly being declined in terms of political freedoms in britain. it's very worrying and very serious and the media is not talking about it at all which even makes it more serious. >> you don't have to take a position on islam itself, but that is a sad story, but i'm glad to hear it from you. thank you very much. >> thank you. the one speaking of speech, if you thought that classic children's books were safe from the left attacks on speech, the written word and the passed itself, of course not. laura ingle's wilder is the latest great american writer

♪ >> tucker: it looks like they are going to bulldoze "the little house on the prairie," classic children's books by laura ingalls wilder are the latest works to run afoul of the left-wing cultural revolution now in progress. l thation for library service to children just renamed it laura ingle wilder's award to the children's literature legacy award.d. the reason is, and you knew this, the "little house on the prairie" books somehow promote racism, sexism and many other. every ism you can imagine. and she is the author of lessons from the prairie and she playedr cassandra ingalls on "little house on the prairie" on television, so she is well situated to respond. what do you make of this charge, i don't even understand it. >> so when i was writing

"lessons from the prairie" i reread all of the books and it's astonishing how equal all the women are in these books. to their own physical detriment they are risking life and limb on the prairie just alongside the men. women are described as working outside the home and selling things. this was written by a woman and they say the book represents outdated cultural ideas. i was looking at some of the other winners on their list, "growing up in slavery." stories of young slaves being told by themselves. i bet there are some outdated notions about culture as well which is why we read these historical accounts, to educate ourselves and understand our culture, where we came from, mistakes we've made in the past, and the strength our founding. you read both of these works, and this is a strong female author. it's a lead female character, b even the show.

in hollywood they had a lead female character. the "me too" movement is, women are getting a fair shake. this is like an old woman project basically, if you look at laura ingalls wilder writingu about her family, about her h mother's life on the frontier. there are scenes where ma is building a house with pa. they dropped the log on her leg and she continues to build a house with the two of them with a broken foot. now that's equal rights. my conclusion is, these people just didn't read the books. >> tucker: the revolution isn't even sinister, it's dumb. but she made some smart insightful points. melissa francis, great to see you. >> thank s you. >> tucker: that's about it for us. tune into the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and groupthink.or dvr it, if you figure out how that works. more than anything, stay tuned
