story. the kitchen was removed on injured, found a new home with one of the auto mechanics. love that story. most-watched, most trusted. good night from washington. i'm shannon bream. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." last week we broke the story that john brennan as well as other obama officials somehow retain their security clearances long after leaving their government jobs. this will allow them access to highly classified information including leaks from former colleagues who are still working in the intel agencies. today the white house announced it is seeking to revoke those clearances and we will have that in just a moment. but finally we have a copy of the fisa warrant application that allowed the obama administration to spy on the trump campaign in 2016. the document is heavily redacted but certain facts are clear.

the obama administration argued with a straight face thatt carter page was a secret agent working for the russians. this is absurd and yet it was widely believed in washington. watch this. >> there is a very clear belief that carter page was conspiring with russia in ways that were nefarious. >> there was overwhelming evidence to have probable cause to do surveillance. >> it would have been a dereliction of duty. as you see, it makes a compelling case that there is probable cause to believe that he was acting as a foreign power. >> a compelling case, really. if it so compelling why are we not hearing that in court at carter page's treason trial? it's total nonsense. it's a bad joke.

the fisa application doesn't even begin to prove that carter page began to betray his country in any way that the application does other things. we now know that the dossier was central to the obama administration's request to the spy on the campaign.n. he perhaps assumed the actual request would never be released. comey claims that dossier was a not a significant part of the request which turned out to be a lie. it appears the fbi did essentially nothing to verify the claims of the dossier, despite the fact that he knew that it was a partisan document paid for by political operatives. the hillary clinton campaign and at the dnc.iv it was too good to check apparently.e instead of sending its own agents to run down the facts which it could have done, the fbi instead sent a yahoo news article to prove the dossier was reliable. the only problem with that was the yahoo piece was itself based

on leaked information from steele. it have to be utterly incompetent to do something like that or, totally dishonest. meanwhile the man identified, and he is carter page. this application repeatedly describes you as an agent of the russian government. and are you aware of any describes you as an agent of the russian government. and are you aware of any criminal charges pending against you, do you expect to be charged for working for the russian government? >> not only am i not aware of it, also the fact that there is no question i have ever been asked, and none of those don't make any sense whatsoever. there is not even a premise by

which i could conceivably be charged. it's absolutely ridiculous. >> there are specifics. they accuse you of two russian officials, both named igor. did you meet with either one of those men? >> i never met with them in my life. ever. >> tucker: do you believe that that allegation comes from the steele dossier? >> absolutely. in july of 2016, two months before the yahoo! news article came out, i started getting these calls from various news reporters. from "the new york times," "washington post," all asking me about the same two names that i had never even heard of -- if i

had heard of one but i've w never heard of the other. and it was obvious, some people told me from the media that they heard about it from the clinton campaign, et cetera.ha so finally they found someone to put it out and, 45 days before the election. >> tucker: 's of the learned about s it from christopher steele, whom they were paying together this dossier. and it's my understanding also from the testimony in recent months that steele never visited russia or bother to go to russia as he assembled the dossier. is that correct? >> that's my understanding. there are a number of lawsuits going on, so hopefully these civil cases can get to the bottom of this. >> tucker: but at the same time, now we have learned that in october of 2016, christopher steele on the payroll of the clinton campaign briefs officials at the

state department, and that briefing apparently was used as one of the pretexts for spying on you. am i connecting those dots correctly? >> that's my understanding. based on these 400 plus pages of documents, there is a lot in there about media. sort of quoting a lot of media sources. i've talked with a couple of former assistant u.s. attorney's et cetera and no one has ever heard of anything like this in terms of this type of a court filing. it's absolutely preposterous in terms of their sources. >> tucker: one of the reasons i find this story so fascinating is because you are an actual person, an american, naval academy graduate and you are willing to talk in public. it's amazing to me that you have been the target of the surveillance. you are not being charged, but what has it done to your life?

how do you feel knowing that, the government was spying on you for a year? >> it's absolutely outrageous. and finally the fbi answered my for your request. this weekend we started having a little bit of transparency andns obviously there is a hundred plus pages of blacked out information and, i think, you know, it's just starting the process of getting to the real truth of these crimes that were committed against american democracy with the abuse of process in the fisa court.se >> tucker: but really, committed against you. your government on the basis of no actual evidence has accuse you of treason and spied on youe as a result. how does that, as someone who served your country in the military as a naval officer, how does that make you feel? >> the big concern is there's

obviously big problems in the u.s. department of justice. there are false court pleadings, that the u.s. attorney has put in and in terms of my civilly concern. the complete failure of the u.s. intelligence community and this is what they are using -- >> tucker: it seems like they succeeded actually. they had a very specific goal in mind and they achieved it. they have hamstrung the working of government. you are a lot more forgiving than i would be. and alan dershowitz is of course a professor emeritus at harvard law school. from what you have seen, i think

congress ought to ask the people who drafted the fisa response why they deliberately left out the fact that the clinton campaign and the democratic national committee paid for the steele dossier. and why if they did, why did they leave out the fact that the dossier had this salacious obligation about and beds, the kind of thing that would make any judge looked suspiciously on the source of the material. instead they said this is a guy that had given information and now it looks like they had been giving him a very partisan and unreliable information. i think we need to get answers to those questions before we can get any firm conclusion. >> tucker: i am struck by the information carter page has seen in the press.

he has been accused of treason and spied on, get the reservoir of sympathy for him seems very shallow. no one seems to care. why is that? >> in my partisan world to come up with a presumption of innocence applies only to your side and on the other side. and it's an indictment proven as guilt. for example an indictment of the 12 russians who will never be brought to trial has been taken as containing the truth. they are just allegations. that may very well be that they are guilty and we know there was intrusion or an attempt to intrude on the election but we have to remember the presumption of innocence. it doesn't only apply to your side of the political spectrum. >> tucker: that is exactly right. you really are the last liberal in america and i'm glad you are here. the guy representing stormy daniels that he knows about the content between donald trump and michael cohen.ep

if he knows what's inside it and he's able to obtain sealed information and that's bad. this is how you described it. >> i do know there are tapes of president trump.nd there is multiple tapes number one. >> how do you know that there are multiple tapes? are you privy to what was seized from the office? that is a very important question. >> i'm not going to answer your >> and if we are right then you have access to information that is supposed to be sealed and supposed to be secret. how do you have that information? >> well do you think he has the information? >> well, either that, or he is making it up. he also accused me, to deflect from a very hard question, he accused me of making false predictions whereas all of his predictions are correct. his major prediction in may is that president trump would resign and we are waiting to hear and see that happen.

i predicted accurately who president trump would nominate to the supreme court. all of my predictions have come true and almost none of of a knotty's predictions have come true. also, the american bar association had an article about the ethical concerns that lawyers like the professor have about his conduct, so i think basically his conduct speaks for itself. and my prediction is, i wrote a book. in my book the predictions are all in there, anybody can read them and anyone can see that i have been straight on and accurate. the reason i'm accurate is because i don't have a partisan dog in this fight. i just call them as i see them and sometimes my predictions help one side and not the other. but i'm not going to make s self-fulfilling prophecies the way avenatti and others on thebu extreme side of this are making self-fulfilling prophecies.

let's see if president trump resigns and if not, confront him with that prediction.es he said i guarantee you, i guarantee you that president trump will resign after hearing what rudy giuliani said. it's total nonsense. >> tucker: we have invited him many times and so far this is the only show he won't do. >> well, have him on with me. >> tucker: any time, i would like that. thank you very much. in the wake of our reporting last week the white house announced it is pursuing a revocation of security clearances for john brennan and other former intelligence officials. >> not only is the president looking to take away brennan's security clearance, and he's also looking into the clearances of clapper, hayden, rice, comey and mccabe.s he is exploring and monetizing

those security clearances security clearances. >> tucker: just minutes later jim klapper who is a liar claimed that this was all deeply unfair. because he has a right to a security clearance. you can take it away. >> this is kind of a petty way of retribution, i suppose, for speaking out against the president which i think is born out of concerns about president trump. >> tucker: this is a representative of the great state of idaho. congressman, why do they feel entitled to have them? r >> there are two issues that we have to address first. why do they have the security clearance at this time?y the reason they have it is in the past we have always extended it to people who were in these kinds of positions because they were of benefit to the government.

not because they were of benefit to themselves but because the government could use their assistance during that transition or anything like that. clearly they are not benefiting the government right now or the administration but the second question especially when you talk about klapper or some of these other individuals, they have been found to be lying to congress.ti w why did they have this extended security clearance. when they have already lighted to the american people and led to the institutions that represent the american people. >> tucker: i don't understand why you all don't hold him in contempt or prosecute him. what he did seems to me to be illegal. leaving that aside, these guysse work for cable news network's. much like i am they are paid to talk on television. wouldn't that disqualify him right there or, do we get a security clearance, too? what are the rules here exactly?

>> that's a terrific question. like we said earlier they haveve the security clearance to benefit the government. the minute that they start receiving get money for the information that they have, the moment that they start monetizing the information that they have received from the government, they should no longer have that security clearance. it's something in this new age where we have cable news and people moving from government to tv, it's something that we need to think about extending the security clearances. i don't think that should be done automatically like we have done in the past with these high officers. >> i don't know why we would do it at all. brennan is clearly unhinged,t he's a political extremist.s isn't the point of the intel agencies to inform the executive so he can make foreign policy decisions? is there another reason that we have these agencies? >> in the past we have extended security clearances to people who had high office, and the security clearances.

they were helping the new administration and they were may be instructing and they had decided to become unhinged in many instances to accuse the presidents of the united states of actual treason, that is something and we need to start thinking about why this individual has the high security clearance. >> tucker: i don't know if the deep state thing is real, but it is bad just for that i think.ta thank you very much. last week on this program we reported based on the accounts of two separate sources, the well, today a list of witnesses granted immunity. he has been granted immunity, and he has nothing to do with for fraud violations. it was a release it was not on

that because he has nothing to do with that case. he has been offered immunity to testify in paul manafort's file in d.c. and that is a trial on criminal violations in the lobby and both of them dead on the behalf of ukraine. we will continue to pursue that story as it unfolds. the state of new york is sokr determined to keep immigrants in this country even ones here illegally, they are pardoning convicted criminals in order to halt their deportation. are they doing that for you? probably not. that's next.ha ou? some cash back cards send you on a journey to get to your bonus cash back. first they make you sign up for bonus cash back and it's only on a few categories. and when those categories change, you gotta sign up again. when does it end?! with the capital one quicksilver® card, you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere.

>> tucker: the left strives to let anyone in them into america, and as of today that's fighting to keep criminals in the united states. today the governor of new york andrew cuomo pardoned seven immigrants convicted of drug dealing, assault, larceny and other crimes solely to protect them from being deported. do you think andrew cuomo would pardon you for those crimes? wouldn't even consider it because you are here legally. meanwhile senator kirsten gillibrand is laying out the stakes because i democratic party will immediately move to abolish border enforcement. >> so when we flip the house and flipped the senate i think the first thing we should do is deal with the children who are being separated from their families of the border. i think we should get rid of ice. >> he is a candidate for lieutenant governor of the state

of new york and he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. last time i was here i had a civil conversation with tammyn. and i'm expecting the same now. >> tucker: yeah, you may or may not get it, depending.on [laughs] i have a very simple question. can you imagine a scenario where i get caught dealing cocaine or committing theft or committing assault, and the governor of new york wants me so much to stay in new york that he pardons me as a citizen? there are pardons given out all the time. i think the president of the united states has given out a few as well. what i think is happening is thankfully the democratic party in new york state is finally showing some leadership and my hope is that the democratic party does the same. >> tucker: so you can commit any crime and you can stay.

we want people who commit crime crimes. is that what you are saying? >> by that i need protecting human beings that are being targeted for no other reason then normally what they look like.n >> so tamar shamuda from jamaica was pardoned for larceny and assault. who did he commit assault against? >> normally speaking with talk about the crime someone has committed and we look at their lives, -- >> tucker: i getet that, but he was convicted -- you don't care enough to find out is what you are saying? i'm against all of this, i don't think you should pardon people no, i am against all of this.

i don't think that we should pardon people. you do because you are sayingal that we care about people. do you care about the person that he assaulted? the answer is that you don't. >> i don't want to dehumanize him. i know k that you have a tendeny to dehumanize. >> tucker: no, i am trying to humanize the person. tamar shamuda is the illegal who got pardoned, but who is the guy who is assaulted? you don't even know his name because you don't care enough to find out. why is that? >> that is because what we are trying to do and thankfully what we are doing, and i'm not sure we have a lieutenant governor who will have things for the opposite. >> tucker: i am sorry to interrupt. t i want to humanize the victim of the assaults. so will you at least acknowledge that that is a human beings too. >> absolutely, 100%.

>> tucker: then why don't you know his name? why don't you know anything about the assault? why don't you care? >> the person is being deported, he is part of a group of people whom you love to dehumanize. >> tucker: i am not dehumanizing. he is someone who i don't want to living here. >> the reason i am going to be on trial next week for civil disobedience, stopping illegal deportation that occurred. similar to the reason why i am here, to stop the immoral deportations that are occurring because of i.c.e. and what we have done, it is decided that there are -- >> tucker: but hold on come before you give me another moral lecture -- you guys are all moral preachers now. for people who all believe in god, you are very religious.

>> tucker: you are hostile to traditional christianity. there is a lot of moral outrage. let me ask, can you understand why certain new yorkers, some of them are dying, you can see why the american citizens, looking down to new york city and say why are y they spending all this time pardoning illegal aliens? what about me? >> communities that have immigrants, the crime rate is actually lower. and if we want to look at why people don't i have jobs, it is not because of undocumented immigrants, it is because of policies that you generally tend to support on fox news. 1% are making more than 45 times the amount of the bottom 99%. so that's where you focus your energy. >> instead we are pardoning people who committed assault because they are illegal aliens.

>> no, we are trying to protect a group of people who are having their babies ripped from them. >> tucker: what about americans? you don't even know their names, i noticed. >> you don't know any of their names either. >> tucker: you don't know who he is. >> did you even care what their names were? do you have any idea? >> tucker: you got me, i don't know. but i appreciate you coming on. much like your creepy lawyer, hillary clinton requires publicity to survive. she has received quite a bit of publicity that she may notot be happy about it. she is complaining. we will tell you what it is about next. s. i love the custom ink design lab

>> tucker: much like death and taxes, it's pretty much impossible to escape hillary clinton. she is everywhere and reemerge this week to denounce the president's immigration policies. watch. >> absorbing immigrants, creating opportunity to take advantage of our diversity, opening the doors. all of that has been to our advantage, and for those who want to turn the clock back on that and say somehow that has hurt america, they are just not walking around with their eyes open. >> tucker: just like most people in brooklyn, you just can't get enough, it's your lucky day.

she might run again for the presidency of a third time but u new obstacle has appeared. a brand-new obstacle, new pictures. they show hillary clinton enjoying a dinner with disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein in december of 2016 after she lost the election. you have to wonder what did hillary clinton know and what is her response to the picture? tammy bruce is a new york radio host and she joins us tonight. >> new death and taxes, right? what's interesting is, i believe it was on december 13th. this is clearly after the shock, and about -- within a month of the shock of the election loss, that's when you bring the people closest to you, to you. that's when you are having dinner with the most important people.in they have known weinstein for decades, not like they met him a few weeks before the election.

he contributed money to bill clinton's defense fund during the monica lewinsky dynamic. so he has been in their lives in a very important way for a very long time. and yes, we know that with weinstein, literally everybody knew. she is in trouble one way or the other. she's the only person on earth who did not know maybe she should be president, or she o didn't know but she was misrepresenting what she knew anyway. but she can't win in this regard. she can't take responsibly for the nature of the choices she's made. >> tucker: he's awful. o you want to meet a single person who doesn't say the same thing. he is repulsive. from his table manners to his attitude, why would she voluntarily hang around with someone like that? >> exactly.sh

you have friendships and relationships that are transactional. nobody does something for you, or it's an important kind ofew collection within your group, but he was important enough to have dinner with just a few weeks after that election loss. and i said to you and i will say it again, this is what i want people to realize. if hillary clinton had won, the "me too" movement would have never started and people like harvey weinstein would have been elevated into more positions of power and eric schneiderman in new york would have more power. none of the things that we see as important revelations in o society that make people's lives better would not have occurred and the people like that would have been elevated. and there she is complaining about donald trump for deporting criminal illegal aliens to also make people's lives better, to improve our day-to-day living quality, especially amongst legal immigrants, people of color and people in the inner-city.

generally, people who did not vote for him, but his immediate actions have been improving the quality of life for all ofov us. and there she is a room lamenting and caught with the worst among us. i think every day we are reminded of the value of the choices we made in 2016. >> tucker: people low wage and low skilled immigration. that's who does their laundry. the people who get shafted are working class.e poor people get completely bulldozed by it. why does nobody say that? >> there is such a bubble and lack of connection with those regular people with the normals, if you will, with that swath of middle america that has been atlas for 200 years holding up the world on their shoulders, delivering their sons and daughters in the bones for the military, feeding the world, ana they have been taken for granted. and you know, it's maybe not as dramatic, not as exciting to

talk about them as it is to talk about the drama of illegal immigration and of the elites. but we know who's really understanding the impact of what donald trump is doing and how their lives, when their lives improve in the middle section of america, that is what improves the lives of everyone on the planet. >> tucker: thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. good to see you. >> tucker: the press spent a week calling the helsinki summit the treason summit. in fact the president's approval numbers went up a little bit. another fascinating poll by -- we will have the next. that water could do. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you?

>> tucker: if you were trapped in an airport and forced to watch cnn or stuck in a log cabin with only them for a

company, obviously we feel sad for you, but you may have come to the conclusion that the united states has been taken over by russia because for a full week, they have claimed that the president somehow committed treason during the summit in helsinki. right there on stage, treason. that it would merit a military coup. what do voters think? they didn't seem to care at all. literally adult. a new nbc poll found that the president's approval rating increased. why are they so unfazed? this is a fascinating one. they found that the number of voters, the percentage of voters concerned about russia is less than 1%. just a hash mark. enter the number one concern for voters on both sides of the aisle is immigration. richard goodstein is joining us tonight and, the question is if

you signed sounded the alarm for more than a year at the president is part of a sleeperni cell working for vladimir putin to overthrow our democracy from within. i think you believe that, you are very sincere about it and very intent. you haven't commenced anybody. it is a time to do some soul-searching and ask why have i failed? >> here's the fake data. that poll that you cited, half of it was taken before that fabulous press conference that trump had with putin and half afterwards. w they have them at 42 this week. the aggregate of poles of real clear politics has them at 43, and it's up and down. >> tucker: but the issue numbers are really interesting, don't you think? nobody cares about russia, why? >> the fact of the matter is,

obama, clinton, reagan and clinton got clobbered in the midterm elections. >> tucker: but hold on, i'm not making that case. i'm not here to say republicans are in the midterm. i'm interested in the ideas, the issues and what actually is moving the country in one direction or the other and russia is what we spent a year and a half talking about because it's the most important thing because trump is a secret agent for putin. and in the gallup poll, i think it's a pretty good poll but less than 1% believe you. your mouth is moving but they don't understand the words.it it's of such little interest. instead, they are worried about immigration viewed what you think of that? >> trump is underwater on immigration in that very "wall street journal," and secondly, as regard to russia in the past year, more people believed that he believed a year ago that mueller is on the right track, and more people, eight or 10% more believe russia affected

the outcome of the election. i agree, it's not in the top ten. >> tucker: it's not only in the not top ten but it doesn't even rate, it's a hash mark. it's unmeasurable that the number is so small. t i'm not arguing whether muller is doing a good job or whether republicans are going to win or lose the midterms. as an issue, this is insane. it's a democracy and that's what they are supposed to do. the democrats are talking for a year and a half about something that they literally couldn't be less interested in and meanwhile there are other issues that affect their day-to-day lives. you guys are either ignoring them or they are on the wrong side. let's pardon people committing assault and larceny so they cans stay in the country. because we need more criminal illegals. let's abolish i.c.e., that's not what the public wants, right? or they want that. >> what the public wants is economic justice and social justice. that's what i think the democrats are going to run on in

2018 and 2020 and that's what the public doesn't think they are getting. i'm not part of that whole i.c.e. -- i don't go there. >> tucker: but hold on, that's -- i'm sure the viewers don't, because they know you are from tv but you are sort of the sane person in your life, i don't think you are crazy. that's kind of the cutting edge of your party, abolishing the i.c.e. right now. >> i understand there are people who want to dramatize the relatively few candidates, and that is not the majority. >> tucker: good luck. good luck. richard, thank you. we are out of time. thank you. the media howled about russia,u. many officials are going to work on the work on the behalf of another country. the country that is overtaking our economy and actually pulling a lot of the strings. it's not russia.

the natural resources defense council come of helping china by filing environmental lawsuits against the united states military with a long-term intent of undermining military readiness. kevin joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. give us a sense of the scale of the lobbying in washington on behalf of the communist government of china. >> you mentioned the lawsuits, we had very well-funded environmental groups and thehe national resources defense council really stands out in it that it has continuously filed lawsuits. the end result is that prevents them from doing testing on sonars that are used to detect submarines. so number one we need to get a handle on some of our environmental laws and make it possible to title this abusive n litigation --

>> tucker: let me stop you there. and that is a fair point, but how does china intersect with the nrdc? >> if there is a supreme court, the navy actually won that case. the representative of the nrdc constantly means with the chinese government. this was outlined in the letter. and other environmental groups, and it describes how these lawsuits put the united states in a severe geopolitical disadvantage while making it possible for the chinese to advance their technology while we are put back on her heels. >> tucker: interesting.. so the suggestion is that the national defense counselnt is working in tandem with the chinese government? i just want to put a fine point on this. >> that is the accusation in the letter that was sent to the national resources defense

council. it simply says if you are lobbying or politicking for a foreign government that you need to disclose that fact. there is legislation moving in the house and senate that would actually close off some loopholes in that and unfortunately it has not been strictly enforced in the pastt few decades and hopefully that will change sometime soon. if natural resources defense council does not have tode register as a foreign agent, it seems that nobody would have to register as a foreign agent. >> tucker: well, except paul manafort is looking at present for that. thank you very much, interesting topic. this show we are proud to say took the lead and warning the public about zombie raccoons. we were criticized for that but we are not embarrassed. the crisis has grown and we will update you on that, next. welcome! hi there. so, what do you look for in a vehicle?

when it comes to strong bones, are you on the right path? we have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture,

so with our doctors we chose prolia® to help make our bones stronger. only prolia® helps strengthen bones by stopping cells that damage them with 1 shot every 6 months. do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant, are allergic to it, or take xgeva®. serious allergic reactions, like low blood pressure; trouble breathing; throat tightness; face, lip or tongue swelling, rash, itching or hives have happened. tell your doctor about dental problems, as severe jaw bone problems may happen or new or unusual pain in your hip, groin, or thigh, as unusual thigh bone fractures have occurred. speak to your doctor before stopping prolia®, as spine and other bone fractures have occurred. prolia® can cause serious side effects, like low blood calcium; serious infections, which could need hospitalization; skin problems; and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain. if your bones aren't getting stronger isn't it time for a new direction? why wait? ask your doctor about prolia.

>> tucker: this is a public service program among other >> tucker: this is a public service program among other things and three months ago we warned you about the threat of zombie raccoons, but at the time were ravaging the city of y youngstown, ohio. sadly the government didn't listen. now the threat is greater than ever. the authorities in new york city have now found more than two dozen dead raccoons right inth central park. they all appear to have been affected by a virus that causes spasms, nasal discharges and spurts of violent or aggressive. they have been over overrun by raccoon dogs, and, and here is the key fact to remember. you know where they came from? we will tell you, russia. they snuck in from russia.a. raccoon dogs in the middle of the night, into finland. now they are everywhere. couldn't happen here?
