firefighters battling the fire in california. she said she would be back with some spaghetti dinner, she's our hero tonight. good night from washington, i'm shannon bream. >> tucker: a good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." as you can see the president is speaking at a rally in tampa, florida. we will continue to listen until he is done. >> president trump: this is great news for the incredible patriots at macdill air force base, the proud home of the sixth air mobility wing, u.s. central command and a special command. come on, let's hear it. [cheers and applause] we are adding nearly 70,000 new soldiers, airmen and marines and we have secured the largest pay raise for our great warriors in a decade.

[cheers and applause] i have also directed the pentagon to begin the process of creating the sixth branch of our military, the space force. the space force. and we are doing well on north korea, although i happen to think that we are doing so well with china that china is may be getting in our way that we will figure that one out before you can even think about it. but we are doing well in north korea and as you know we have our hostages back. there has been no nuclear testing. there has been no missiles or rockets flying beautifully over japan. i think our relationship is very good with chairman kim, and we

will see how it all works out but there's nothing like talking and we will see how it is. do you remember when we first took office? it really looked like big trouble. and the administration thought that was by far their biggest problem. no tests and no rockets flying but we will see what happens. and our vice president mike pence is going to hawaii to bring back the remains, and to greet the families of our great heroes who gave their lives in korea.ai our fallen warriors are finally coming home to lay at rest in american soil. [cheers and applause]

[chanting: usa! usa!] [chanting: usa! usa!] >> president trump: i also withdrew the united states from the horrible one-sided $150 billion was spent, 1.8 billion in cash. the iran nuclear deal, it's a horror show. i hope it works well, they are having a lot of difficulty but i hope they can talk to us soon. but maybe not and that's okay too. in december i recognized israel's true capital,ec jerusalem.

and in about five months we opened already the american embassy in jerusalem. and people have that scheduled for anywhere from 5-10 years and you all know the story. we took an existing building, we played around with it and we renovated, we fixed it up and we used jerusalem's stone, one of the finest stones actually in the world. jerusalem stone. so instead of spending 1 billion and of the papers were right in front of me, sir, would you please prove this? this is for the embassy and israel. america sir. i said how much? $1 billion, sir. 1 billion. i immediately called david friedman, great successful lawyer, before he decided to do what he's doing.

i said david, they want us to pay a billion dollars for theef embassy, i don't want to pay a billion dollars. i said do we have any buildingsm that we own? we already own so much, we don't even know what we own. find some building and a great location and call me back. he called me back two days later and said, mr. president, sir, we are on the best side of jerusalem. it's big, it's beautiful and it's got a building on it. i can take that building and renovate it and i can do it for $140,000. [cheers and applause] i said david, how good is the site? they could neverer buy a better site. they were willing to spend tens of millions for a site and they wanted a site so bad, and i said

david, don't make it 140,000, that sounds too cheap. make it like 400,000, that's okay too, david. so we saved almost a billion dollars. i could tell you these stories all day long. airplane purchases, i could tell you all day. [cheers and applause] and we started working and, for $400,000 we will actually have a very beautiful american embassy in jerusalem. now that is one i guarantee no other president has done. can you imagine cricket hillary doing that? can you honestly? [boos]

in all fairness, in all fairness to her, can you imagine anybody else doing that? nobody else. nobody else is going to do that. and i could tell you stories about what we have saved with purchases for military, ored general mattis would be glad to tell you, and he can't believe it. some of the generals have said they have never seen anything like it in the world. because i want that $700 billioe properly spent. if we can buy twice the number, or have a lot of money left over, that's what we want. instead of apologizing for america, we are standing up for america. we are standing up for the heroes who protect america, and

yes we are proudly standing up for our great national anthem. [cheers and applause] with every promise we keep, every record we break, every factory we own, we are restoring strength and american pride.ri

this may be, and in fact it probably is, the greatest t movement in the history of our country. and even they will say that. to keep it going we need to elect more republicans and we need more votes. we need to elect ron desantis as your governor. gotta do it. and i'm telling you right now i know him well, he's a great guy and will be an incredible governor. i have no doubt. i don't do these endorsements easily. the other day we endorsed a great gentleman from georgia. he was probably five points down and he won the election by 40 points.

he got 70% of the vote, 2:30, great guy. and many others. we could go over one after another, actually starting to give us credit for this. i don't think there's ever been anything like it. that's why i had to be here to formally -- we've been endorsing ron but i wanted to be here to formally endorse ron. you have to get out and vote. [cheers and applause] thank you, mrs. desantis thank you. get your friends, get your colleagues, get your neighbors and get out and vote in november. you have to do it. because remember, we will win

this primary. but don't take any chances. nice lead, don't take any chances. and then give yourself ten or 15 minutes of happiness, then go back to work for november. they are putting up, i know some of the candidates. these are people that don't care about stopping crime, these are people that don't care about people pouring into our country when they shouldn't be there. and they don't care about stopping drugs from poisoning our youth and pouring over the border. they don't care. your future governor cares. and your current governor cares. rick scott. loyal citizens like you, and credible people from great state of florida help build this country. and together we are taking back

our country and we areng returng power to where it belongs, the american people. [cheers and applause] this state was settled by pioneers and visionaries who explored the marshes and raised up cities right on the sea. the state was built by red-blooded american patriots who opened the first naval air station at pensacola andot launched the first brave americans soaring into the heavens. we stand on the shoulders of generations of proud americans who knew how to work, knew how to fight and knew how to win. [cheers and applause]

and you know, when you elect ron desantis as your governor, some people are getting a little tired of learning, right? by then it will be another year or two years or three years andr you will be insisting, governor desantis, please be our president. we can't stand it. the people of florida, wee can't stand it. because under previous administrations we never won. we got used to never winning. and he's going to come to meet in washington in the beautiful oval office and say, mr. president, the people ofov florida are just downright tired of winning. they can't stand it. it's just too much, mr. president. the economy is too good, the jobs are too strong. we are doing too well. is there anything -- ron, i don't care what you say, we will

keep on winning. we are going to keep on winning. we are going to win so much that the people of florida actually love it, don't they. they love it. remember what i said right at the beginning, we are respected again and that man is respected and always has been. we will never give up, we will never give in, we will never, ever back down and we will never, ever surrender. because we are americans and our hearts bleed red,re white and blue. we are one people. we are one family.

and we are one glorious nation under god. and together we will make w america wealthy again. we will make america strong again. we will make america safe again. we will make america great again. thank you, florida, thank you! [cheers and applause] ♪ >> tucker: the president speaking to a rally in tampa, florida, . for over an hour during the rally the president weighed in on a couple different topics from the united states military to the government of florida. he weighed in on the republican primary, backing ron desantis

pretty assertively. and he had this to say about the u.s.-mexico border. >> president trump: and we are going to have tremendous border security that will include the wall. a lot of people don't know it, but we have already started the wall. we have $1.6 billion and we have started large portions of the wall, but we are going to need, even the way we negotiate, we will need more and we will get more and we may have to do some pretty drastic things, but we are going to get it. >> tucker: the border wall of course the centerpiece of the president's 2016 campaign and yet republicans in congress for the past year and a half have not been eager to provide funding for that wall, or the border enforcement with the president has repeatedly promised. they are content to produce ag master tax cut and not a lot else. byron york has been watching carefully and he joins us tonight.

byron, it seems to be a huge disconnect between the president says he wants and what the congress is willing to provide. why is that? disconnect between the president says he wants and what the congress is willing to provide. why is that? >> i think the speaker of the house who's leaving congress at the end of this year simply doesn't want to do it. in the majority leader of the house -- excuse me, a majority leader of the senate, doesn't seem to care all that much one way or the other. the other problem of course is of course the president who did make this the showcase of his 2016 campaign has not pushed as he could have two get this or congress. >> tucker: why do you think that is? >> we heard someone say we can get the wall next year, we will get it next year.

well now next year is here and it's almost august. we heard the president at his speech tonight saying he got $1.6 billion and that's not going to do it. and the president simply is not not focused on this. members of congress need to be led, they need to be pushed and need to be cajoled, in some cases bribed, or a president to get what he wants. it's going to take a while for the president to master that art. >> tucker: interesting. so what does the republicans think will happen if they plan to ride the president's popularity to victory to the extent they can in the midterms? but if they are not making good on the promises i got the president elected, how do they believe that will work for them? >> go back to 2006. there was a bill passed called the secure fence act of 2006 and it mandated a triple layer fence

along about 700 miles of the u.s. border. if it had been built, it would have really helped stop illegal crossings of the u.s. border. it was passed with big bipartisan majorities, and among those in there are senator schumer, senator biden, there was a bipartisan consensus to go for it and there was a bipartisanll consensus not to build the fence. it wasn't built in the bush administration, it wasn't built in the obama administration. and you've seen the need to placate voters by promising to do something about this but the determination to never actually do it. >> tucker: at some point voters will rebel against that.

theyoi figure out that the footballs being pulled out from under them. byron york, great to see you. for more than a month now supporters of illegal immigration in the state of oregon have decided to halt enforcement of immigration law by harassing the people who are tasked with enforcing it. activists engaged in an occupied i.c.e. protest at one of the agency's facility in oregon. they finally left but they leftg a gigantic gigantic pile of garbage to never them by. >> reporter: where protesters once stood, trashed elders a property near the i.c.e. building. protesters left this behind it. work trucks packed to the brim with everything from food, furniture, cardboard signs and wooden pallets. a tri- net official said workers even found needles on the ground. >> tucker: cameron whitten attended and spent overnight at the occupy i.c.e. protest in oregon. thanks for coming on. >> tucker, nice to see you again.

>> tucker: nice to see you. so is this a foretaste of what will happen if the revolution actually happens? you guys take over in leave piles of garbage, why would this reassure anybody watching at home that activists likeba yourself should have any power over anything.bo >> first what i want to do is celebrate the successful display of the grassroots people powered change. what happened here was occupy i.c.e. both here in portland and across the country to send a powerful message about the economic crisis. regardless of four former first ladies' -- >> tucker: yes i know -- >> hopefully the u.s. president will change part of a draconian immigration policy. and more can be done to demand change. >> tucker: i know you are excited about this, hold on. why couldn't you use that peoplo power were telling me about to pick up the garbage when you left.

you mobilized, got a massha movement, and have engaged people that want to make america better. but you leave beer bottles and hypodermic needles behind. is that really the kind of change that most people want? >> it i call that deflection. can we talk now about the interests of the american people? >> tucker: you leftat a trash heap. >> you are avoiding thee conversation? >> tucker: no show addresses this topic more directly than this one does. but i was born here, i don't want to live in a place that looks like tegucigalpa. i don't think anyone does including immigrants. i'm just saying, if you are setting a model for the rest of us. and we will move on with that. >> we are living in a time of crisis in the united states and

i'm so thankful that there are people who are demanding change. and you know what, what we are w dealing with now is a crisis. we cannot sit here and cast blame for certain individual actions. you cannot take certain individual actions and then dismiss why we are here. stop distracting from the message. the message we are focusing on right now is a question on a whether -- >> tucker: you don't even want to read. okay. >> let me talk to you -- this is central to the point. >> let me talk to you on your terms. >> so say you have an annual family barbecue and your brother-in-law showing up drunk. so there was a protest where people weren't just camping outside. >> we are talking about this message. and holding immigrations and

customs enforcement. >> where do you guys learn this? >> everybody -- i'm sure you don't agree with the actions and what they say. >> you cannot ignore the fact -- >> all right, he won't give up. i can't handle it. thanks cameron. i don't think you did yourself or your cause any help at all, or maybe you did. there's that cameraon guy, the guy that left all the beer bottles and hypodermic needles, i like him. maybe there is someone like that, call me if you exist. the basic principle of anglo-american civilization is that everybody is treated equally before the law, no matter who you are and what your political views are. the left is willing to jettison that ancient principal to protect people who should bel here in the first place.

the mayor of portland ted wheeler said he supported the s protesters and refused to have the police intervene against them. here's what he said. >> i stand with those who are opposed to forced separation of children from their parents. i have consistently stated that i do not want the portland police bureau it engaged in securing federal property that houses a federal agency with its own federal police force. >> so here is the detail that makes you worried that maybe we are moving toward some kind of civil conflict. maybe things really are coming apart. the police in portland, oregon, which is a big modern city refused to even answer the 911 calls from the occupied building. that means the local police refused to protect american citizens. because they didn't agree with their politics. the i.c.e. national council has sent a cease and desist letter to ensure that there right to

protection is preserved. brandon, i guess i just want to make sure i have the facts in this right because it seems like one of those seminal moments where all of a sudden you realize everything is really different. are you claiming, is your agency saying that the city of portland refused to protect you despite your request for protection because they didn't agree with your politics? >> they did. unfortunately for the citizens of portland, but they have to understand is now if they disagree with the mayor's position, is a good chance that this mayor is not going to allow their police officers to support them if they feel like they are in danger from a tax or the physical person is in danger, and that is the wrong message to send. but tucker, let's be clear.'s that's actually going to play in the favor of the conservatives because this is the kind of crazy talked at bally the

conservatives to the cause that says, we have got to stop this.. in the vast majority of americans -- >> tucker: wait a minute, hold on. where is the civil rights division of the justice department? they are denying equal protection under the law and that's a constitutional violation if there ever was one. why are they gettingre arrested? where is the civil rights division on that? >> it's my understanding that this is currently -- and their failure to respond to the 9/11 clause, but the mayor said thate there was a federal law enforcement agency. is the mayor concluding thator e federal law enforcement agency has the right to enforce all of the laws including the laws of the city? there is supposed to be a separation between law enforcement agencies, and in this case it was the portlande police department that has the responsibility to enforce those

laws that were beingas infringed upon. it wasn't the responsibility of i.c.e. to enforce those laws, it was the mayor's responsibility and he failed to. >> tucker: the bottom line is, when an american citizen calls the law enforcement agency for help, they have a responsibility. that's today's politics and that's what we have to get beyond. it makes me happy when things like this happen because the vast majority of americans disagree with these types of policies and then we get people who care elected. >> thank you very much for that. thank you, tucker. paul manafort didn't kill anybody, he didn't deal drugs and he was not even accused of colluding with russia.

he is facing 300 years in prison, why is that? we will tell you, next. with expedia's add-on advantage, booking a flight unlocks discounts on select hotels until the day you leave for your trip. add-on advantage. only when you book with expedia. when the guy in frontd down the highway slams on his brakes out of nowhere. you do, too, but not in time. hey, no big deal. you've got a good record and liberty mutual won't hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. you hear that, karen? liberty mutual doesn't hold grudges... how mature of them.

his wife in the shower and terrifying his family.fb they could have made a simple call to his lawyer but they didn't. he then had his bail revoked and he is being held in solitaryy confinement about pretty much ever since. for crimes he was accused of in the state of virginia, paul manafort now faces 305 years ina prison and that is several life sentences. so what exactly is paul manafort accused of doing? if you guessed murder, guess again. the average violent felon in this country received just six and a half years behind bars. paul manafort is accused of something far worse than murder, tax evasion and violating banking regulations. the government isn't even suggesting that manna fort stole money from a bank, for guessing he was dishonest on loan applications.

if you are confused, maybe this will clear up the story for you. the prosecutor leading the case against paul manafort is named andrew weissmann. he's an enthusiastic democratic partisan and now he's trying to send the campaign manager to prison for life on a tax chargeu the average sentence for tax fraud in this country is a year and three months. that could be much longer though if you have their own politics apparently. alan dershowitz is a retired harvard law professor and he joins us tonight. professor, i make the obvious disclaimer that i don't know paul manafort and i certainly can't vouch for his ethics. but looking at this pretty carefully, this is a case about tax evasion and bank fraud. he is getting a sentence or threatened with a sentence that is so disproportionate compared to the average that it makes you wonder, what's going on here? >> it's very simple. his crime is being associated with donald trump. don't listen to me on this,

listen to judge ellis. the judge ruled and said, they are not interested in paul manafort. they are just trying to get him convicted so they can squeeze him. if you squeeze a witness not only does the witness sayingd bt sometimes according to the judge the witness composes. that is, he becomes creative. he makes up information and elaborates. because they know the better the story, the better the deal. this trial is not about manafort. if he hadn't been associated with the trump campaign he would be out in new york or whatever doing his business. it's an attempt to convict him of doing whatever they could possibly find against him, know how matter how unrelated is to the mueller probe, to see if they can get him to sing or compose. >> that's not justice as i thought it was practiced in this country at all. >> unfortunately it is the way

that justice has been practiced against the mafia and against terrorists and we civil libertarians have long been opposed to this way ofains dealg with problems. but the civil libertarians are quiet today, because the object is donald trump. do you hear the aclu complainedc about this? do you hear the national association of of criminal defense lawyers complaining? we have always complained about this tactic when it's used against other people. now you have some zealots standing in front of the courthouse saying, lock him up. lock him up. i was objecting when they had signs saying, lock her up, related to clinton. and civil libertarian all over the country ought to be concerned about this. if this hurts trump, it's good.

if it helps trump it's no good. >> especially when an actual human being, a 68-year-oldld man is facing life in prison for not filling up the bank forms correctly. a that's pretty unbelievable. thank you for your perspective on that. heroin is killing americans by the tens of thousands and yet at the very moment when our drug crisis flaming completely out of control, congress has decided to reduce the penalties for heroin smuggling. why are they doing that?s our special series continues after the break. - my family and i did a fundraiser walk in honor of my dad, willy davis, who has alzheimer's. i decided to make shirts for the walk with custom ink. the shirts were so easy to design on the site. the custom ink team was super helpful and they just came out perfect. seeing my family wearing my shirts was such an amazing reminder of all the love and support

>> tucker: america is in the grip of the single worst drug crisis of its history by far. every year overdoses kill more americans died during the entire 11 years of the vietnam war. opioids particularly fentanyl

and heroin are the culprit. so a bipartisan is trying to reduce criminal sentencing for drug smugglers. that would cut the mandatory minimum for example, for, for smuggling a kilogram across the border from ten years, to five. whitney, thank you for coming on. i think most people three years ago when they first heard about sentencing reform had in mind a low-level drug users, marijuana dealers, and we thought, why are we sending these people away for life? and i think some people believe that we should have some

sentencing reform. sentence for a massive heroin trafficker? a kilo of heroin contains over 30,000 equivalent lethal doses of heroin. >> the reason we reduce the penalty is not because we are reducing the penalty for every single drug smuggler. what we are talking about here is due process. constitutional rights of defendants to be sentenced in a way that is not a one-size-fits-all. at the bottom line is these judges that are serving on the united states sentencing commission and advising the senate could committee the judiciary, there is no nexus between these to crony and mandatory sentencing because one-size-fits-all and every single drug trafficking defendant. not every drug traffickingng defendant is someone smuggling across the border. intent to distribute and -- >> i understand that. but the threshold with thisut reform and this bill is a kilo, 2.2 pounds of heroin. once again, that's over 30,000 lethal doses of heroin.

that's a huge amount. >> that's right, but it makes it discretionary for federal judges. we already have safety valves. the tech giant twitter has been caught hiding the opinions ofav users whose opinion it doesn't agree with. there used to be a lot of civil libertarians on the left and ten years they might have made noise about this but now very few have said anything. some of you have even raced to defendant twitter. but few have agreement remembered with the movement was prior to and has been blasting twitter for its attack on open discourse. so thanks a lot for coming on. this seems like a pretty clear example of squelching political speech that you don't agree

with, am i misreading?

>> tucker: that's not true -- you were being inaccurate. if you are in possession of a kilo of heroin by definition, you are going to be charged with trafficking. you can't use 30,000 doses of heroin, you're selling it. >> somebody who is carrying 10 kilograms over a period of five years, -- >> tucker: so a lethal dose of heroin is 30 micrograms. >> the reason they do it as you know and as jeff sessions knows is because they are trolling. you go after the little fish where the little fish are. if you're interested in fixing the problem this is how you do it. you don't get federal judges the availability to make

discretionary decisions regarding sentencing. >> tucker: why do you think we have mandatory minimums in the first place? >> if you come await to federal court, i promise were not giving away the farm, it's not happening. >> tucker: it's a frustrating conversation. >> it's frustrating for all of us. >> tucker: twitter working to silence unwanted opinions and most of the civil libertarians are being silent. ♪ ♪

or -- they are not very comfortable with the pro-trump plane on the right either. we generally don't trust governments to make decisions on what things are false and what things are true. why would we possibly trust silicon valleyey executives who have even less accountability and transparency, no democratic accountability too make those decisions on those platforms that have for better or for worse become our p public squar? if we think it's only going to in ways that we like look at the history of censorship, that's number how it works. especially when some of these companies specifically have been in effect granted an exception from antimonopoly laws. they have a monopoly in a bunch of different areas and the government is okay with with that because they're taking a bunch of money from lobbyists. that gives the rest of us a right to weigh in on it.

don't we have a right to believe that it's not being censored? >> for conservatives in general there is dogma that the government has no business telling private companies what they can and can't do what ideas they have to associate themselves with. the only exception to that i think by consensus is when a company becomes more than just a company, they have monopolisticm power. in the case like companies like google and facebook, mark zuckerberg said we are basically like a government we make our own laws that cover our community. 2 billion people use facebook and when you look at what these companies control it's not c jut widgets, it's data about us and the flow of news and information and debate, it's essentially

limitless with limitless control to do whatever they want to do it in secret, it's a serious menace to ourl democracy. nobody should like companies like this having monopolistic power greater than the governments of nation-states which is what theypo have. >> tucker: especially if you have nonconventional opinions. anybody who thinks for himself to be threatened. will be right back.
