ywhere. it's like a cash back oasis. what's in your wallet? ♪ ♪ >> welcome to tucker carlson tonight i'm a mark steyn. the trump administration just unveiled its plan for a full-blown space for us to be created by 2020. more on that just ahead to plus more on the alleged islamic extremist compound in the new mexicoes desert. but first, president trump has highlighted his administration's efforts against the ms-13 gang. of course the left now supports ms-13. box.com has published the video
9:01 pm
will portray the gang is a bunch of cute teenagers who ride bike bikes, listen to music and work after-school jobs. >> when you think of the street gang ms-13 what do youme see? may be something like this. or this. i told you that typical ms-13 gang member in the u.s. actually looks like one of these young men on facebook. >> they're working after-school jobs, their living with their parents, they get around long island onon bicycles. >> there is no indication that we are seeing a bigger surge of ms-13 then we have seen in the past. >> mark: ms-13 they are like high school valedictorians. he joins us, tim these guys are all over your neck of the woods. are they just like kids doing
9:02 pm
after-school jobs running around on bicycles? >> we saw 17 homicides that ms-13 committed, that's 17 homicides in just 16 months. two of those homicides were 15 and 16-year-old girls from brentwood high school. another homicide was a quadrupln homicide were four boys were chopped into little pieces in a park. this is an extremely dangerous gang. one of the most dangerous street gangs we have the united states. thanks to law enforcement's efforts, since that time period, we haven't seen a single confirmed ms-13 homicide, and that's because of the great work of the men and women of law enforcement in suffolk country. >> mark: you guys have a tough stomach for homicides, but even if you are familiar with finding dead bodies, what ms-13 do to their victims, where they actually chopped off limbs, and
9:03 pm
you find these guys dismembered and in pieces, these are some of the most vicious organized crime in the country, as you know.us >> that's exactly right. when they commit a murder, they do it is our new message. they are incredibly brutal. one example, i already noted, the four boys, plenty of other examples. the two girls were murdered in brentwood, when we first came upon the homicide scene, the injuries were so severe, we actually thought it was a hit-and-run because the head trauma was so significant. we need to take this gang extremely seriously and that is exactly what law enforcement is doing across the country and ian applaud everyone's efforts. we are working together to target violent ms-13 gang members and we are making a difference. >> mark: do you think it helps when someone like vox.com, which has a lot of influence on the left, basically said, there are some people who kill people but there are a lot of nice, cute kids, going along with it as they might with any after-school activity? >> no, it minimizes the threat that this street gang poses and
9:04 pm
it minimizes the situation that these communities find themselves in. ms-13 targets young, hispanic boys in neighborhoods that are underserved. it's incredibly important that we target these gang members with aggressive law enforcement tactics and that we also invest in gang prevention and intervention strategies so we prevent them from recruiting more members. >> mark: good luck with that. they have done some terrible things out in your part of long island, tim. thanks very much for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >> mark: america remains in the grips of an immigration crisis and other aspects, too. in one of the two major parties, increasingly promoting policies indistinguishable from global open borders. any effort to enforce theis country's border invites accusations of racism, even though mexico is actually deporting more people who come from honduras than the united states does. earlier this week, we saw the
9:05 pm
border patrol capture a man attempting to smuggle three brazilians into the country using a fake ems vehicle. enrique acevedo is an anchor at univision and he joins us now. enrique, this is interesting to me that mexico is allowed to deport hondurans without being accused of racism, while the u.s. isn't. why does one country get to enforce its borders, but another doesn't? >> you just got to look at news reports in mexico and around central america to know thatt mexico's immigration policy is highly criticized, the way they violate human rights for the central americans is also highly criticized. it has been pointed out by, i would say, hundreds of news reports and human rights reports, too.ew i don't think they are being able to get away with anything. i would just say that, despite what many people say on this network and at the white house, in terms of mexico not doing anything to help the u.s. with undocumented immigration, you
9:06 pm
just stated the fact that mexicn is importing hondurans and other central americans at a very fast pace, over 200,000 centralth american migrants have been deported. that's a lot. >> mark: mexico is notha deporting 200,000 hondurans to kiss up to president trump. it is doing it in its own national interest. so -- >> this is the thing, mark. they are doing it in the program and agreement between the u.s. and mexico to have mexico guard its south borders with u.s.en dollars. some of that comes from the u.s., so it is doing it in part to honor agreements with the u.s. in the u.s. government. >> mark: that is not why -- we all know the truth, or most people should know the truth about mexico, which is that it is ruled by a corrupt elite who are essentially european mexicans, mexicans of white european descent, who treat everybody else, whether they are mexican or not, appallingly.
9:07 pm
and isn't the reality of a legal mexican immigration that you have essentially a corrupt elite in mexico driving the people it despises into america in muchly the same way as it would be if we said 20 years ago, let's let white south africans drive all the blacks out of the country so they can have it to themselves and all the black south africans can find somewhere else to live? isn't that the reality of mexican illegal immigration? >> well, no. we started this conversation by saying that mexico is importing more hondurans to their country than the u.s., and now we are saying that mexico is actually letting them through and sending them to the u.s. mexico is not sending anyone to the u.s., actually, more mexicans are coming back toco their country than those immigration into the u.s., with or without documents. mexico is part of a route that is used by central american immigrants and more and more, it is trying to enforce this immigration policy, as we cope
9:08 pm
in a humane way, which is not always the case, to try to have, in the cases of refugees, not only their right conditions, but also to let them legally request asylum and then go through and legally request asylum in the u.s. >> mark: but why is that in america's interest? that is the bedrock question, enrique. >> what is in the american interest?? >> mark: what does unskilled mass immigration from mexico and latin america in america's interest? >> as i was saying, immigration from mexico is net zero now. it's at the lowest level it's been in decades.. there is no mass immigration from the mexico into the u.s. there is a problem central americans and refugees coming to the u.s. border. but we could have a larger debate on the benefits of immigration. i would ask you, what is so wrong about immigration?n? how is immigration hurting the u.s. or how is this different to other immigration in the u.s. history? i
9:09 pm
>> mark: it's predicted that 30% of the world's jobs are going to be outmoded by automation and robots, no developed countries needed mass immigration. as you say, we'll have that one day. thank you, enrique. thanks a lot. house minority leader nancy pelosi says that voters should back democrats in november because it will help illegal immigrants, so vote for your democrat candidate and they will let lots of people in the country to take your jobs. >> we are not going to be able to get it done under the republican leadership in congress. we believe that we all have leverage when we win in november. >> mark: leverage in november. that is intended to appeal to hispanic voters but it may not be working. polls have shown president trump's approval with hispanics to be above 30%. that is better than the vote share he got in 2016.e
9:10 pm
elvira salazar is a republican who is running for congress in florida, and she joins us today. elvira, we often think that in your state, for example, cuban-americans tend to vote republican, but we see signs that actually there is a broader appeal among the hispanic population now. >> it is indeed. but i want to answer to it nancy pelosi was saying, and once again, the democrats are trying to play political football with hispanics. in 2008, in 2009, president obama said to my colleague from univision, jorge ramos, that we were going to have an immigration reform lawid the first year of his presidency. in reality, he used his political capital to pass obamacare. so right there, the democrats, and nancy pelosi, had the wonderful and magnificent opportunity to stop this immigration reform problem that we have, or to pass an immigration reform law, and in reality, while the democrats
9:11 pm
gave us were crumbs called the daca executive order.he and i want -- i think that we should really point out, and these are facts, this is notou analysis, that in 1996, president clinton signed something called the immigration reform law, which gave the legal framework for president trump to be separating families. so let me just start with those two facts, that is why president obama and nancy pelosi are traitors to hispanics. now why are hispanics now giving approval ratings? because hispanics share many of the core values that are dear to the republicans. we are god-fearing, law-abiding, we like small government, we are self-reliant, we do not want government in our lives, we fear god and we want -- we love this country. and -- >> mark: let me just ask you a question on that, though, elvira. because the people can have
9:12 pm
different views on that. but what i find interesting about the democrats' view of hispanics, and the media's. the media assume that lawful a hispanics in the united states only care about illegalha immigration. that, in fact, they are just ethnic solidarity voters. if you have been in this country for generations and you are , your most important , your most important hispanic, your most important issue is letting in lots of other hispanics. is that true, is that the only issue you guys care about?eo >> no. it is very important for us to find a solution to those people that have lived here for more c than 15, 20 years like a tps recipient. we don't want those people to be thrown out of here like cattle, because they have put roots in this country. that is why an immigration reform law is so important.or it's important for us.
9:13 pm
but also, the economy.tr look at what is happening with the economy right now. that is benefiting more hispanic businesses.od >> mark: that is certainly true. we have to leave it there, elvira. thanks very much. good luck in your race. friction between the mueller team and president trump's legal team is heating up. professor alan dershowitz will address the president's position next on "tucker carlson tonight." ♪ ♪ coming, flo! why aren't we taking roads?! flo.

9:17 pm
>> where's the sense of justice on the part of mueller, on the a part of the justice department? people who hate trump were put into primary positions of power. that is completely tainted this investigation. the real story here is not that this case isn't going to fizzle, it's going to blow up on them. >> mark: alan dershowitz is a retired harvard law school professor and the author of "th> case against impeaching trump" and he joins us. professor, is this interview with the president going to happen and should it happen? >> it won't happen. i think what's going to happen is giuliani will make mueller an offer he can't accept, to paraphrase "the godfather," and that way trump will be able to say, look, i wanted to testify but it was mueller who turned down a reasonable request by our attorney. look, no lawyer would ever allow a client to testify under these circumstances.
9:18 pm
all they have to do is ask him one question, "did you know about the meeting in the trump tower with your son," if he answers that question truthfully, that he didn't known if that in fact is the truth, he could still be charged with perjury, lying to a government official because we have michael cohen who says he did know. you you never allow your client to see something that can be contradicted by another witness because the prosecution can choose to believe that other witness. >> mark: if you had i president trump as a client, though, he's a very gregarious guy who was quite happy to sit w down and talk and to chit-chat to anybody and thinks that as long as he is just, like, straight forward and says what he thinks, everything will be fine. often, from a lawyer's point of view, that is the worst kind of client to have, isn't it? >> yes. and i would certainly -- i'm not his lawyer, obviously -- but i would advise him to speak to the public on television, say what he wants to say, write his tweets, although i don't think
9:19 pm
he helps himself by some of his tweets. but under no circumstances put yourself in a position where you can be charged with perjury or lying to a federal official. and if he doesn't believe me, he should make two phone calls, one to martha stewart, who went to jail because of what she said after prosecutors, and the other to bill clinton, who was impeached because of what he said in an interview under oath. and so i think every responsible lawyer would say to him, youvi should not either testify or be interviewed. look, i once gave him advice on television, i said, i have four pieces of advice, don't fire, don't pardon, don't tweet, and don't testify. >> mark: i want to ask you about rudy's other point, the hyperpartisan nature of what has been happening. with reference to this bruce ohr guy in the justice department, and his 60 contacts at least with christopher steele, the mi6 agent who was basically the dirty tricks operative for the democratic party. you know as well as i do that
9:20 pm
impartiality is the essence of justice, a county court judge can't have a bunch of communications with the plaintiff and not with the defendant. that is a big no-no. how come bruce ohr at the department of justice doesn't know you can't talk to one political party continuously through the height of a campaign? >> of course, there is a difference between a judge in a prosecutor.rece prosecutors are allowed to talk to people, and so i don't believe that mueller and his team care about whether the democrats win or the republicans win. they are not partisan in that sense. i think they are zealous, some would say overzealous prosecutors. because he is special counsel, he has a target on the back of the president and others. c if this case were handled by ordinary u.s. attorneys, and
9:21 pm
they came back after a year or two years without indicting anybody, it wouldn't be a story, no one would know. but when a special counsel is given a target and he fails to indict, he has been a failure, and that is why i am so strongly opposed to a special counsel, except of the most extraordinary circumstances, which weren't met in this case. >> mark: you're absolutely right about that, professor, in terms of the special counsel's office. i hope we get rid of them. thanks a lot. as a young self identified socialist, alexandria ocasio-cortez supposedly represents the future of the p democratic party. it's a strange future to behold. >> we need to occupy every airport, we need to occupy every border, we need to occupy everyw i.c.e. office. we look at figures and say, unemployment is low, everything is fine, right? well, unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs. why aren't we incorporating the cost of the funeral expenses of those who die because they can't afford access to health care? this, like, upper-middle-class is probably more moderate but that upper-middle-class doesn't exist anymore. their heyday was in the '90s when, like, kids had furbies ana
9:22 pm
parents, soccer moms with two vans. that is not america anymore. >> mark: soccer moms with two vans and funeral expenses crippling the economy. is this the sort of thing the democrats can run on, win on, and, god help us, govern on? christy setzer is the president of new heights communications and she joins us. this is the future of the party? >> look, i like ocasio-cortez. i think she speaks clearly, i think she speaks with moral conviction, and i think a lot of people were inspired by her and that is why she won her primary. that said, she won a primary a month ago in a congressional contest that represents the bronx and queens. this is not necessarily america. that said, i will say thaton people like her because she is this young latina woman who seemingly came out of nowhere, nobody gave her a chance, she had no endorsements, nobody in the party really got behind her, "the new york times" never even
9:23 pm
wrote a piece about her until after she won, and then it was, "where did this lady come from?" the reasons she did so well, and was able to topple somebody like joe crowley, is because of the way that she talked about issues that people cared about in her district. >> mark: isn't it more basic than that? you said because she is a young latina. and the democrats now, it's all about identity politics. she is a young latina, he's an old white male. he's the past, she is the future, and the fact that she talks about the 1990s like ith talk about the 1890s, and that she seriously thinks that if 50% of the workforce are doing two jobs, you have full employment, that is irrelevant. it is all identity. young latina trumps dead white male. >> no, i don't think so.wh but i do think for women in particular, also people of color are the ones who are furious
9:24 pm
right now, they are furious at c donald trump, they are furious at the -- i'll be honest -- the old white men who are running the republican party right now and frankly, who have a pretty big grip on the democratic party, as well. so that is why you have seen so many women across the country who have said, you know what, it is my turn, i'm going to run for office now, too. and they are winning in record numbers. s so particularly so particularly in the democratic side, mark, if you see a race in which there is not an incumbent, there is a man, a woman running, women on the democratic side are winning 70% of the time. that is amazing. what that says, america wants to see more women in office, and i -- >> mark: good luck telling that to bernie and chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, because you've got your old white issues in that party, too.hu >> we sure do. it's a big tent. >> mark: nancy pelosi is happy to take a tire iron to anyone who argues with that. thank you, christy. what on earth was going on in the new mexico compound where muslim extremists were allegedly performing exorcisms and

children to commit school shootings. what on earth was happening there and couldn't have been exposed more quickly? "tucker carlson tonight" investigates. ryan mauro is director of the intelligence network at the clarion project.an a nonprofit that educates the public on radical islam. he has assisted authorities in this investigation and he joins us now. ryan, if you watch certain other networks, you'll find it very hard to pick up on the muslim angle to this. they are being rather coy about it, as is their wont. but the father of the principal guy here, for example, is a big shot imam who was an unindicted coconspirator in the original world trade center bombing a quarter century ago. so this has deep roots in the most extreme islamic circles here in america. >> right, so what is really
9:30 pm
scary about this, when someonecl from al qaeda or isis get r arrested, you know they are almost certainly a fringe player, they are not a famous imam. he is different. as soon as i started studying radical islam, he was the firsto one on my radar, because he is one of the leaders of the muslim american community, i'm sorry to say. he's very radical, the type of things he has been connected to come in terms of a coalition with other groups are the typess of things that this group, this compound in new mexico, were preparing to do, were learning how to do, that type of ideology. we haven't connected the imam to that specific operation in new mexico but you don't have to. what you're talking about is the extremist infrastructure that is the hard work, the easy work iss the violent part. >> mark: in that sense, it seems more organized than some guy from chechnya or wherever riding his car up onto the sidewalk and mowing down half a dozen people, in other words, that sort of freelance jihadism we have become used to. did this seem something slightly more institutional?
9:31 pm
>> that's right. t there's really two ways that yo create this type of problem if you are a radical. first, you say, how do i create the person that holds the weapon? it's harder. you do that by pushing the ideology, the imam for example01 in 2001 spoke at an event that was literally called "jihad caml for young muslims." that is public plates. when they are not shy about this, are they? >> they've gotten a little better since 9/11. >> mark: let me ask you something because normally with school shootings, you'll see things on twitter, the las vegas thing for example, where there will be a little -- i'm sure this will put be terrorist, his name will be ahmed, and it turns out to be the usual alienated loner. but things don't stay separate. so if school shootings are effective, at some point, jihadists will have caught onto that and want to get a piece to the action. >> look at how we all reacted to it. right? even if you can get the small number of casualties, doesn't matter because it's a school shooting, so they achieve the
9:32 pm
objective, and one of the ways that these groups operate aboved that ideological infrastructure, in terms of operations, they set up security companies and some of the information i have provided, i broke the story today, what i provided to the authorities, does link people from the compound to a security company.mp that is how you get weapons, that is how you get law enforcement-type training, that is how you do this type of thing. >> mark: that is fascinating, ryan. when you look at the compound with a piled up rubber tires, nothing to it, a lot of stuff sitting out in the desert, but it's got important connection when it comes to getting the stuff they need. thanks very much, ryan. tucker is going to come back after the break because americans are an increasingly lonely people. how did that happen and can it be fixed? that is coming up next. ♪ when my hot water heater failed,

9:38 pm
have been over time, probably overprescribing these medicines, and not looking carefully for alternatives, and for other ways to address people's depression, not looking at the causes. >> tucker: that's it right there. you would think when the suicide rate spikes, and it hashi measurably, we would have a national conversation about why. what do you think the cause is? >> i don't think there is one single cause but i think there d is one particular cause that it is contributing to depression,n, that i don't think we talk about enough, and that is social disconnection, that is loneliness, and when i began my tenure as surgeon general, if you would have told me that i would be thinking about andd talking about loneliness as much as i have, i would have told you you are absolutely wrong. but i was really educated by people all across america who i met during office, in my travels, and what i came to learn is that many of them are struggling with isolation and loneliness. they didn't always say that at the beginning of the conversation it but it became
9:39 pm
very clear that it was part of their experience in their story, that it was contributing in fact to anxiety and to depression in their lives. when i delved more deeply into the science about loneliness, or became very clear is that loneliness is not just about feelings that we may have from time to time. but when it's experienced for long periods of time, it can increase our risk for heart disease, for dementia, for anxiety and depression, and is associated with the shortening of our life span. so it turns out that people are struggling with chronic loneliness not only live shorter lives, but the mortality impact is as great as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. >> tucker: well, sure. there is no pleasure in it. it's a living hell being lonely. what would you prescribe for someone who was lonely? how do you fix that? >> the first thing, it's important to address with somebody who struggling with loneliness is getting them to talk about it, to recognize that because you are lonely does not
9:40 pm
mean that you are broken areof fundamentally flawed. >> tucker: do you see that technology is making us lonelier?d >> i think that technology is a tool that can be used to address loneliness and increase loneliness. what makes a difference is how we use technology. i think the way we are usingwh technology right now, i worry we are increasing our loneliness. one, you look at social media, and you look at the data that is increasingly coming out on social media usage and its impact on the mental health of people, you see that increased social media usage is often o associated with increased feelings of anxiety and depression. what has happened unfortunately with social media is that many people have substituted their online relationships for their off-line, in person relationships. but there's another way in which technology is playing a rolele here, which is that nearly all of us walk around with phones, with smartphones, that give us immediate access to email, text messaging, and that can be incredibly convenient. i have a smartphone and it's very, very helpful. but that phone, and our devicesi can also creep into other parts of our lives. they can come to the dinner

plans for creating a fully independent of space force in t mjust two years. professor michio kaku is a physicist.en the author of a "new york times" best seller, "the future of humanity." he joins us. professor, if you watch tv, people seem to be making jokes about this thing. s but most western nations have essentially off shored huge parts of their infrastructure to the heavens in the last couple of decades, and yet, they are essentially unguarded and totally vulnerable up there. >> i think we have to take it seriously because donald trump sees this as part of his legacy. long after he's gone, we are going to have a u.s. space force. for the first time since 1947, a new branch of the military, and i think he wants to put his stamp of approval on this, so wt have to take it seriously. >> mark: yeah, but the joke about it is, like, it's a plan nine from outer space then,,

>> in fact, this conversation is happening in outer space, this tv show is carried by satellite. the internet's telecommunications, radio, gps, the economy, national security, all of it is done in outer space. like i said, we are sitting ducks. that is why we should follow what ronald reagan did. ronald reagan said, a, we need peace through strength but b,, let's cut a deal with gorbachev, let's try to manage the unmanageable by cutting a deal. now the outer space treaty of t 1967 could address these vulnerabilities, but it is way out of date. it says nothing aboutld legion cannon, nothing. >> mark: no, the world has changed so much since then. thank you, thank you very much for that, professor. that is absolutelync extraordinary. it is a serious business andnd s you say, it may well be part of
