tradition of freedom, sovereignty and the true rule of law where our shared gift to the world. >> martha: that is our story for tonight from london. see you back on monday. good night, everybody. good evening. i hope you had a sensational day and week. this is "tucker carlson tonight." i'm brian kilmeade. i'm filling in for tucker unless something goes terribly wrong. we have two big stories. president trump's visit to the u.k. trump meeting with the british prime minister and the king. he had big protest at home in the u.k. at home this was taking place. surprisingly. 12 russian intel officers were indicted part of the mueller probe and are accused of hacking democrats in the 2016 election but there is no evidence of collusion. this is deputy a.g. rod rosenstein today. >> they corresponded with several americans in the

course of the conspiracy through the internet. there is no allegation in this indictment that the americans knew they were corresponding with russian intelligence officers. there is no allegation in this indictment that any american citizen committed a crime. there is no allegation that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result. >> so charles for the "new york times" is on the radio with me today and fox news contributor. we didn't know this was happening. charles. >> yeah. >> we get this command now. i have never seen a probe gradually let out information. before we get into what is in it, have you seen an approach like this? >> this is very strange. this does a lot to undermine people's confidence in both the f.b.i. and the d.o.j. as well and on the other side it has a lot of people accusing the republicans of trying to play politics with this stuff. you can almost never be too cynical when it comes to washington but i would like to see that this is exactly what

it is. it's an indictment of 12 russians for -- which is a good development. it means they are making progress on the real russia investigation. it has nothing to do with collusion. nothing politicized about it. finding people who did try to interfere with our election. and hopefully go after them. >> president is about to meet with vladimir putin. we also know the mueller probe getting more and more unpopular. you know washington. does it have anything to do with the fact we got this press conference today? >> i don't know. that is where charles krauthammer used to say you can almost never be too cynical when it comes to things happening in washington. but i hope no because like i said, these are important -- this is important stuff. the indictment, what rod rosenstein laid out today reveals that they did very good work. the f.b.i./d.o.j. did very good work in terms of

uncovering what these people did, where they did it. how they did it. and it reveals i think the degree to which the previous administration was asleep when this was going on. then also, the d.n.c., you know, their response to this when it happened, of course, was to cover their tails more than it was to hand over everything to the f.b.i. this investigation should have begun long before it did. >> abc is reporting they are looking at the seven people surrounding president trump's friend roger stone. and they are heavily investigating into that area. does your reporting reveal the same thing? >> well, you know, that is the other part of the russia investigation. which i think is highly tainted with politics. and is highly problematic. i think also it does a lot to undermine the legitimate part of the investigation which is what they were talking about today. >> devin nunes tweeting something out else. chairman of oversight on the investigative committee in the

house. he says we have this already. it's on page four. he tweeted out why didn't people read our report? we had this. >> well, you know, a lot of it has to do with the incredible stonewalling that we have seen from the department of justice. and the f.b.i. again, they are trying to cover their own tails there as well. all of that kind of, you know, unwilling to sort of work together. lay it all out. americans are grown-ups. they can handle the truth. >> joey started out a tie without a radio and then did "outnumbered" and ended without a tie. are you prepared to start your weekend? >> definitely. >> charlie, thank you so much. let's move ahead. everybody charged is a russian so far. no votes were changed. although some were perpetrated. so where is the supposed russian collusion of yet? dan bongino is all over this. his investigative skills without peer. he is a former secret service

agent himself and the n.r.a. tv contributor and we love having him on. dan, what did you learn from today? >> i read through the indictment. there are key take-aways. number one, charlie said and he is correct. it's clear as day there are two parallel tracks. the sad part is the tracks are starting with the cross contamination going on. track number one bipartisan agreement. we all agree the russians are not our friends. they tried to tamper with the election. the indictment is very detailed. it's very substantive. it details a spear fishing operation by russian g.r.u. members to try to steal data from some democrats and infiltrate potential republicans, lobbyists and members of the press. we are all in agreement. the russians are not our friends. but the problem is there is no collusion, brian. we have been sold for what? almost two years now that somehow trump colluded with the russians or his team members to alter results of the election. there is still absolutely zero

evidence of that whatsoever. it is bogging down the political process. >> so there is a big call among some of the leadership on the democratic side for the president in light of this information to not meet with vladimir putin. would that be a good move, dan? >> no. why should he not meet with him? i can't figure out democrats for the life of me. you know, they debate themselves all the time on issues. they had absolutely no problem -- this is not what aboutism. this is about principles. when barack obama met with cuban representatives down in cuba, they had no issue with that. now we know that donald trump has information, that he can done front putin with, about the documented russian military members. we -- i almost said soviet military members. freudian slip. this is a perfect opportunity to confront them about it.

>> do you believe they will try this again in the mid-term? >> yes. this is a nuclear powered nation that figured out a long time ago to sow domestic chaos they can rip the united states apart from within. that is the problem, brian, i have with the parallel tracks. there is one credible investigation and this garbage trump russia collusion investigation, which is a house of sand. there is nothing there. the democrats need to just let this thing go and focus on the real enemy, the russian part of the infiltration. >> you are not the real enemy. you are a friend of the show and the network. thank you so much. >> thanks, pal. >> let esmove ahead. chris is -- let's move ahead. chris is a radio host and former aide to schumer and good guy. did you learn anything new today? >> look. this is very serious stuff announced today in the indictments. i think it's something that the president if he is going to go forward with the meeting with vladimir putin better as john mccain suggested today bring this up and walk out of the room if he doesn't get real answers on it.

in fact, i don't think the president should be alone with vladimir putin at this point. the president is probably not prepared to have this conversation. he should bring a senior diplomat with him and have a real note-taker there to understand what was said and what was done. i think that these are serious things. this is serious business. there were serious, serious attempts to infiltrate the election system. not just the d.n.c. and the democratic operatives but it appears from the indictment that it's very clear that the russians got into some voting systems around the country. they didn't change any votes but they did get into the access file of board of elections around the country. that is something we should be taking serious here. >> chris, i think part of the problem is -- tell me if you buy this analogy. if after 9/11 instead of focusing on bin laden they focused on bush saying he knew about the attack ahead of time, you wouldn't blame president bush getting defensive and saying 3,000 people died and i wanted that to happen? with donald trump the way he profiles, if you are taking

away the credibility of the victory and say the russians helped him and he worked with the russians, that is going to strike at his core. the minute the mueller probe can be complete and if it's clinically detailed and remove the personalities and the parties out of it, i think we could see real progress. we have to get the probe done and get past finger-pointing. don't you agree with that? >> well, look, i want to get the probe done but i want it done right. this probe compared to other probes of presidencies in the past is in the infancy. the clinton white water probe lasted seven years. this is going on for just over a year now and it has produced dozens of indictments at this point. it's moving along rather swiftly. look, i don't think anyone in the country wants to think that the president of the united states was engaged engagh the conspiracy with the russians. that is way down the rabbit hole and that leads to too many questions and problems that are damage to the republic. we want to know what is going on here. do i think there may have been americans working with the russians on this?

probably. i don't know how they could have sents out e-mails without real knowledge of the system. that doesn't mean the president did it. but it's a coincidence on the day the president asked the russians to find the e-mails that was the day they attacked hillary clinton's e-mail. look, i hope to god the president had nothing to do with it. but i think the investigation needs to be given the latitude and the time and the patience to get it done right. >> but, chris, that just breaks to the president's credibility because nobody who was conspiring would ever go public in a press conference and saying wikileaks, give me more things if they thought they were in control of it. we know after trump won, they also were fomenting the anti-trump riots that michael moore even went to. they were actually run by russian bots. i also lost 5,000 followers yesterday on twitter. i don't think 5,000 people broke up with me. they were fake. as the barack obama lost 1 million and so did trump. chris, it's very interesting moving forward. hopefully we get past this and the democrats and the republicans can stop hating

each other full-time and start to work together at some point. >> i don't hate anybody. i don't think anybody should hate anybody because they disagree with them. that's why i come on the network to have a real debate about real issues. but i want to know the truth about what happened this this election and we should all want to know the truth about that. >> he is chris hahn. thank you, chris. >> thank you. >> that wasn't the only thing going on today in america. former f.b.i. lawyer lisa page appeared on capitol hill today to deliver testimony behind closed doors to the judiciary committees and the oversight committee. the same people that front and center with peter strozk. the testimony came one day after peter strozk's marathon, contentious ten-hour hearing. earlier in week page failed to appear in defiance of a subpoena that triggered republican threats to holder in in contempt. so they worked out a deal and she showed up today. multiple republicans told us about page and her testimony. saying she was this -- more forthcoming than strozk. a lawyer was in the room and

they tell us page brought new information to the committee. topics included her text and new information about the russian probe. she also made it clear kind of a democrat. didn't really like republicans. it's not a crime. the lawmaker says that page talked about the conversations with strozk not in the text. she is viewed by many, almost everyone in room as credible. she gave new information that the committee did not have. and they will probably reconvene in the afternoon on monday. that is probably is it. meanwhile with the music coming up. there is only one thing i can do. tease out. president trump met the queen today. more on that and the rest of the highlights with the great john roberts if he is still up. keep your fingers crossed. her salon was booked for weeks, until her laptop crashed this morning. having it problems? ask a business advisor how to get on demand tech support for as little as $15 a month. right now, save $300 on our hp 2-in-1 laptop bundle at office depot officemax

>> brian: all right. tonight president trump in scotland right now at his golf club. after a busy day in england. he met with the prime minister. there was an army of protesters out there in london. then he ended the day with the queen. who didn't end the day like that? john roberts wasn't invited in for tea but he watched all of it. how do you recap a day like this for the president? >> john: well, the one thing i can say to you, brian, i started the day with my tie on with you on "fox & friends" and i'm finishing it with you tonight with the tie still on. the press conference that the president had with the british prime minister theresa may and the working meetings they had at the luncheon in checkers her country home, given to my british prime minister. it doesn't necessarily belong to her but a reset from what happened last night. just as the president arrived here in the u.k., "the sun"

tabloid came out with an interview they did with him on wednesday. this was timed and was looked at as the president pulling the political rug out from underneath theresa may's feet. this thing really blew up because the president with her, what is called a soft brexit plan, plan for the u.k. leaving the european union it's likely that the united states wasn't going to be able to cut a trade deal with her. it sounded like the president was critical of her policies regarding brexit. but he insisted today standing beside theresa may he was not being critical of her and the two of them actually are probably going to be able to work something out on trade after the brexit. listen here. >> president trump: the only thing i ask of theresa may is make sure we can trade, that we don't have restrictions. we want to trade with the u.k. and the u.k. wants to trade with us. we are by far their biggest trading partner. we have a tremendous

opportunity to double, triple, quadruple that. >> john: for her part, theresa may insisted repeatedly when she takes britain out of the european union in march of 2019, she will do so in a way to allow britain to cut trade deals with the united states. another big issue on the plate in their working meeting today the upcoming summit with vladimir putin. president trump we are told was notified of the pending indictments against the 12 russians so clearly he would have been coming to the issue today with the knowledge that was about to pop. in the press conference the president saying he will bring up the issue of meddling in the election with putin monday in helsinki. listen here. >> president trump: we will be talking about meddling. and i will absolutely bring that up. i don't think you will have any, "gee, i did it, i did it, you got me." there won't be a perry mason here, i don't think. you never know what happens. but i'll absolutely firmly ask the question. hopefully we'll have a very good relationship with russia.

>> john: back in washington, democrats were saying that the president shouldn't meet with putin at all. he should cancel the meeting because of the indictments. the senate majority leader chuck schumer in a statement saying president trump should cancel the meeting with vladimir putin until russia takes demonstrable and transparents steps to prove they won't interfere in future elections. glad handing on the heel of the indictment would be insult to our democracy." on the way back from checkers and the press conference outside the president was shouted a question. "will you tell vladimir putin to stop meddling in u.s. elections?" the answer coming back from the president, brian, "yes." >> brian: we know how chuck schumer, believe it or not, is against the president doing something. that's very odd. how does rest of the world feel for the most part you can tell, especially coming off the they know summit in brussels, how do they feel about the president meeting with vladimir putin?

>> john: this is an interesting dichotomy in brussels yesterday with the president. all of his critics back home saying don't meet with putin. you are coddling russia and cozying up to them. in the meantime the nato allies are saying we have to talk to russia. germany is buying natural gas from them for god knows how long and there was a lot of support from justin trudeau. the prime minister of canada. and theresa may, the prime minister of britain and she reiterated it again that she looks forward to the president sitting down with vladimir putin. they think talking is better than not talking and the president could make headway that is a good thing. i asked the president is it possible to improve relations between the united states and russia with putin still in crimea? he said he thought it would be. i asked him what the plan was to get russia out of crimea. he said, "i'm not going to tell you." i don't know if that means he

has a plan and he is not telling me or if he hasn't yet formulated a plan. >> brian: thank you, john. doing a great job. there was no shortage of protesters against the president as he made his visit for example >> no joke. go back to usa. >> what do we want? trump out. >> when do we want it? >> now. >> brian: you got the idea that is what a protest looks like. robert powell with "the economist" that rated donald trump as one of the ten greatest risks alongside jihadi terrorism in your column. but you were just a kid then, robert. you didn't know he would get the nomination and you didn't know he would win. he won. we are almost at year two now.

not in the midst of a series of terror attacks and we didn't reinvig rate the cold war -- reinvigorate the cold war. were you wrong? >> the gift that keeps giving. it was whether he was bad for global economy. >> brian: but you did write about terrorism? >> yeah. he had a whole host of issues with the inflaming the muslim opinion. a lot of that is coming with the protest in the u.k. backlash globally with the immigration policies and the like here. >> brian: a couple of things. you do point out that president bush in 2003 had the same size protest when he went to visit tony blair. >> exactly. this isn't new. the thing about being the u.s. it's like being tom cruise. everybody knows you and everybody has an opinion about you. a few more people coming out than you would the portuguese prime minister mopped -- popped by. he has taken measures and

retweeted the neo tweet. and they are quite green so there is a body of opinion against him but it's not highly unusual. >> brian: if you look at his relationship with theresa may which didn't start out great they seemed to have bonded. they almost had their back at the presser. and in brussels. am i overstating that? >> he undermine the brexit plan but at the end of the day they are holding hands. so i don't know what happened in between. >> brian: theresa may is a gray area. is she brexit or kind of in the european union? after meeting with president trump she goes i'm leaving in march. i want a bilateral. i'm not in european union and i want a biliteral with the united states of america. case closed. she didn't say it last week. >> given her some vinegar, hasn't he? she is trying to take the middle ground. that is a problem because no one is happy with that in the middle. everybody wants extreme. she is in a spot of bother.

>> brian: do you say -- don't let me put words in your mouth but is he doing better than you thought in 2016 when you projected a trump presidency? >> cracker question. the economy is going great. >> brian: what kind of a question? >> cracking question. the economy is great guns so so far, so good and we hope for best. >> brian: are you happy to be here? >> i love being on. >> brian: you are nonstop smiling. >> it's increased the face value. >> brian: hopefully it's good for the ratings. have a great weekend. the left has been calling to abolish i.c.e. now the republicans in congress are calling the democrats' bluff. good idea. we'll vote on that. why didn't they? why will they? should they? back in a moment with all three of those questions.

42% are opposed. among those familiar with what i.c.e. does the gap is even bigger. 27% want i.c.e. abolished and 57% want to keep it around. so no surprise democrats are backing off. republicans are calling the bluff saying we will vote on this. mark mccann of wisconsin, you have a bill. let's vote on it. it will be great. but if you put the bill forward they say it's a trap. we will vote no. can you imagine writing legislation and voting against it because someone gives you an opportunity to have votes for it? caesar vargas is an immigration attorney and joins us now. what is going on? are these games played in washington? what should we be talking about instead of abolishing i.c.e.? >> democrats are playing a political game. republicans are also playing a political game. the republican poll notes many republicans who are vulnerable whether it's miami or california are also in a stuff spot. both parties are playing this game. what we should be talking

about is why immigration enforcement exists and why does i.c.e. exist? there are two operations. enforcement force and then investigators. even agents say we want to abolish i.c.e. because it takes away from investigating the transnational gangs. who wants to deport a college student or a day laborer that is working in your house or your viewers' house? that is the conversation to talk about. the real is about the immigration reform to secure the border and provide path to citizenship for immigrants. >> brian: but what isikoff is doing is enforcing -- what i.c.e. is doing is enforcing the laws on the book. so if you are here and skip out on a hearing or going through the legal process, and i.c.e. comes across you, should they walk away? >> just as a state trooper driving 70 miles per hour on 50 miles per hour lets him go and pursues those speeding 100 miles per hour. there is discretion. the state troopers cannot

overstay the visa? >> it's civil offense like a parking ticket. >> brian: should you be allowed to come here while other people that now know pay for green card go through the process and wait in line and do paperwork? >> it's not fair for anyone. this is why we are here. we are having a conversation why both parties have not enacted immigration reform. >> brian: we agree with that. after this election they have to start to work it out. >> absolutely. >> brian: good to see you. >> thank you. >> brian: seattle in the grips of a homeless crisis and it's becoming so desperate taxpayers funds used to get this, fly the homeless elsewhere. fly them out of the state. will it work? we'll discuss it. -i've seen lots of homes helping new customers

>> brian: seattle is one of the many progressive cities grappling with a major homeless crisis. earlier this year the city infuriated businesses briefly passing -- they repealed it -- tax on employers to fight

rabid homelessness in the city. now it's trying a different tactic. get this. using taxpayers funds to send the homeless to their families who might be out of town. just to get them out of there. leslie marshall is a radio host. is this the right way to handle this? seattle has the fifth largest homeless population. can this work? >> i live in los angeles that has the first and the highest homeless population. so if it does it's something we need to look at in los angeles. homelessness is multifaceted. there are reasons that people are homeless and i don't think this is a cure-all but i think this is a decent idea. tell you something that happened ten years ago in spain. not homeless. but they came to spain and were unemployed and spain could not afford to keep them so they offered them tickets to leave spain. although over 20,000 rather than 80,000 they wanted took the money, that is what is happening in seattle. these are people that are not partaking of the shelters or the homeless services.

some of the people in the future they are afraid could commit a crime. some were robbed or lost a job and they want to get back to their family in florida or in midwest and it offers opportunity for reunification with their families and helps them on that front. >> brian: you must have seen this in los angeles is the violence. a lot of the men are getting violent. one arizona family were attacked with a roam. they grabbed the dad and put a rope around his neck and started to choke him and they cleaned out the area around the seattle needle. i was fascinated by this. seattle with third largest homeless population. there is 121 home for 10,000 people. this is what they estimate. a third of the homeless serious substance abusers. that goes to fentanyl and everything else we are dealing with. third are mane thely ill -- a third are mentally ill and a third can't handle the housing costs cropping up in the

cities at your end and in seattle and san francisco. >> that is a huge issue here. this has been coming for the better part of a decade. we see this in cities like san francisco where there are people from silicon valley buying up the real estate and pushing up the people in the past could afford places. this is in the pacific northwest. there is mental illness and drug abuse and look of the affordability. there are $13 million that ends up in seattle coming up to 500 beds for over 11,000 people. it just doesn't cut it. so it may sound crazy but it could be more cost effective and it could solve the problem that some of the financing legislation and certainly not enough beds for all the people are going to help with. >> brian: they are messing with this.

they have a city encampment where the residents are allowed to use heroin around needles until they pass out. how is that going to work? i also talked to people in los angeles who say there is a lot of people, young people that could get jobs, mentally fit. but are choosing not to participate in society. have you seen that? i have to say and i'm. >> i have to say and i'm going to stay judgmental. when the kids are in the car and someone looks destitute we pick and choose who we give money to. especially if it's a family with children. that tugs at my heart strings and my kids. but there are times i see someone with a smart phone and a nice sneakers and a suped up skateboard and they look healthy. forgive my judgment i think you look healthy enough you could get a job. so do i think there are people gaming the system and taking advantage? absolutely. >> brian: if i could paraphrase michael jordan he said if you can come up and ask me for a dollar you can say "hello, welcome to

that the latest stunt is far from former. sarah palin says that he duped her in to an interview for the upcoming showtime series called "who is america" by dressing up as a disabled military veteran. after traveling across the country for the interview, she quickly realized something was up. >> part of this propaganda, that data he was showing me had something to do with sex changes and transgenderism. then he brought up chelsea clinton and said that she was a recipient of the government-funded sex change. you know, it just got worse and worse and worse as the minutes went on. i said enough was enough and i took off my mic and i walked out. >> he appears to have responded to palin in a statement written under the name of a reported character saying, "i did not say i was a war vet. i was in the service, not military. but united parcel." palin is not his only victim. former vice president dick

cheney, conservative radio host jim walsh, joe arpaio and roy moore were all targeted as well. some are calling for a boycott of the show and are even saying he may have violated the stolen valor act of 2013. showtime did not respond to our request for comment. big-time controversy here. >> sean: in the letter he continues to rip sarah palin for being so-called offended. why wouldn't you be? if someone says i'm in the service and come in a wheelchair, you don't say what branch of service? you don't have follow-up. and her son served. >> she has strong ties to the military and the reaction has been bad on the left and the right. especially if he did -- we don't know what he did. he says he was in the u.s. postal service. i think he was joking there. if he did really dress up as a disabled veteran for profit, that is not good. that really crosses the line. a lot of people agree. >> i'm surprised showtime
