place? do other msnbc contributors have security clearances? what national interest is served by that? how does someone he so obviously limited get to be cia director in the first place. those are all valid questions, no one on the left bothered to try to explain any of those things. they yelled about how his rights were being violated. >> he knows the russia collusion angle and that's what trump is trying to silence. >> nixonian type practices of trying to silence anyone who is criticizing the president. >> the larger implication is our first amendment rights and by extension others.s. >> tucker: here that? the first amendment. you don't have freedom of speech unless you also have a top-secret government security clearance. he agreed with that, to try to silence anyone who would dare challengee them. where was his essay about being

silenced published? in "the new york times," a new paper with 3 million subscribers and that is what it looks like to be muzzled. senator richard blumenthal who not only is a fake war hero but also a graduate of yale law school argued that he somehow has a constitutional right to a security clearance. he keeps a straight face as he says this, watch. >> is not only an abuse of power, it is illegal. whenen the founders of our great nation decided on the first amendment, it was because the king of england would retaliate against his critics. he had the authority to do a lot of things but not in a way that violates the law. >> tucker: thanks for the lesson on the law. here's the take away, john brennan has a constitutional right to a federal security clearance though he doesn't work for the federal government. you do not have that right, neither do i or anyone you know,

only john brennan has that right because he resides in a special class of elites that you are obligated to obey. if you disagree with any of that, you are a monster, you are on the side of bloods. bloodthirsty dictators like stalin and pol pot. watch is more dumb people talk. >> this is a dictatorial exercise of power that should frighten. >> it's a clear abuse of power and that's the mark of an authoritarian dictator. >> this is a strike a move toward authoritarianism. they shut down the press, they shut down dissent, they jailed the opponents. >> tucker: he's a dictator, let that settle in for a minute. if trump is a dictator, he may be the single most incompetent dictator in world history. he lets all of these go on cable television and accus him of crimes but doesn't do anything about it. they keep talking.

somebody better alert to the secret police. but wait, they are busy right now. they are watching msnbc and nodding along an agreement, it's that kind of dictatorship. a looser, more mediterranean version where nobody gets oppressed. if you're looking for more germanic, we have that too but it's not in the white house. it's in silicon valley which is preventing you from expressing your views in public if they disagree with them. if that's everywhere. amazingly somehow, the champions of speech you just watched first from an absolutist like senator blumenthal who learned the value of the constitution while pretending to serve in vietnam haven't noticed. maybe mark steyn can explain. he joins us now. i wonder as these august legal scholars lecture us about how the constitution requires john brennan to have a security clearance and if he doesn't our first amendment rights are being violated, do they notice that

people's freedom of expression ist being violated every day in real ways across the country by the tech titans? does that compute or are they taking too much money from google to care? >> you're right, there's a contradiction and the left's position seems to be which is amazing when you think back 15 years when they were all going bananas because of george w. bush was trying to find out what library books you were reading, they are apparently now cool with spooks having super first amendment privileges. i'm with senator blumenthal, i we might as well have a constitutional right to a security clearance because three or four years ago just under 5 million people in this country had security clearances. it's more than the population of new zealand and norway. that's one of the reasons for the dysfunction in the intelligence community.

i think it's now down to about four and a half million but at that level, everyone might as well have security clearances. i'm with senator blumenthal, in an effort to have bipartisan compromise i think unaccompanied minors are coming across the rio grande but i should hand them their security clearances. senator blumenthal, go for it. >> tucker: i like that idea. the irony, there are so many layers of it. these are the exact same people telling us we don't have a right to know what our government is doing, we don't have a right to know the pretext under which carter page was spied upon by the obama administration and we are quislings if we ask too many questions. somehow john t brennan has a rit to the classified information. how could you make that argument without turning redth with sham?

>> if you read his column in "the new york times" ," it's faintly creepy. at one point, he actually says i thisto make sure i get right that a variety of politicians, political parties, media outlets, think tanks and influencers -- that means you, your an influencer you are readily manipulated by russian intelligence. you don't even know you are being manipulated by russian intelligence but the fact that you are ejecting to john brennan telling you you are being manipulated by russian intelligence is the clearest proof that you are being manipulated by russian intelligence. this is all this guy has got. this is why, if he wants to be this idiotic in public, if he wants to be just another obscure msnbc pundit, he should do it without a security clearance.

one other thing, when they say this is the action of dictatorships, you can say a lot of things about dictatorships but one of the things you can sayng with certainty is when the dictator removes you as head of the intelligence security apparatus, actually you lose your security clearance. in dictatorships and almost all other countries, the idea of these security clearances is bad enough. one of the ridiculous things about this country is you have viscount's and duke's somebody who's the senator from 1972-1978 gets called senator from the day heti dies. now were saying aside from that he should also have a security clearance until he dies. ex officio security clearances are a stupid idea and they should be abolished across the board. >> tucker: in real dictatorships former intel heads

windup like that. it's stupid. great to see you. ethan, i didn't go to yale law school, i couldn't get in. where in the constitution does it say former spies are required to keep their security clearances? >> the issue here is if the government wants to impede on your ability to express yourself which we have two separate issues here, we have the attacks of the free press,ac the enemy f the people and a separately if i revoke your security clearance because i don't like what you are saying which is what's going on right now, that is an attempt to silence you and your criticism of me. >> tucker: let's go to first principles here. what nationals interest is served by giving msnbc contributors top-secret security clearance?

>> the last six administrations, maybe it's five have retained those security clearances after they have left office because the current sitting cia director may want to refer to the previous cia director for information about an operation, it's an inside scoop aboutut why they were doing something or what they were doing. instead of having to go through security clearance every single time they wanted to have conversations you kept the security clearance. >> tucker: i understand about how the system has worked but were not talking about the system were talking about john brennan. how does america benefit by john brennan having security clearance, i'm completely confused. >> if the sitting cia director wants to convert to him about for example what led you to investigate the russians that were visiting the rnc or going to trump tower, what was behind her thinking on that, what was the information that led you to him that over? >> tucker: you don't need john

brennan to have a security clearance in order to answer straightforward questions from someone in government. people are subpoenaed all the time, people speak voluntarily all the time to government without security clearances. he can answer any question he chooses to answer. he doesn't need a clearance. the truth is this is insane. there's no scenario you can create where we need to give john brennan the security clearance. that's a privilege he has, it may or may not be justifiable, he is that's not his right. we don't deserve security clearances, do we? >> we don't deserve it. there are two separate issues that are coming together here. one of the daily attacks on the press.he we are the enemy of the people

except for you and some others here. o most of the press is considered the enemy of the people and now that john brennan is on one of the less favored networks, he's anan enemy of the people and therefore one of the ways to silence him is to very publicly -- >> tucker: how does it silence him? it's a measure of the depth of the corruption that he would have a security clearance in the first place. there is no scenario where the rest of us benefit from that. it's another stupid washington tradition i can tell you having lived there all my life there are many of them. this is one and it came to life because this show brought to light and it's totally indefensible. richard blumenthal says you have a constitutional right, it's illegal to take away his security clearance? how is that true? >> there is an argument for tha that. an administrative law to take away somebody's livelihood so maybe his security clearance you could argue to it's the of his

livelihood. why is he at msnbc? >> tucker: i get it. so you're conceding that he is using -- what you're saying is john brennan is a viewing top-secret and using that in his role as an msnbc contributor. what else are you saying? if that's essential to his livelihood. john brennan shouldn't be using top-secret information to which he has special access in his role as a cable news pundit, no? >> i'm not suggesting he is using, i'm saying as a credential, it's a credential that gives him a job. >> tucker: it's meaningless unless you exercise it. >> that's not even why you retain that privilege. the cia director has information that is new, since your operation when you are the cia director to have the conversation about thebo

continuance. >> tucker: you can ask john brennan whatever you want, he doesn't need a clearance for that. this is a window into how totally corrupt our system is. the people benefiting from it have no self-awareness at all. you're violating my constitutional rights. it's spinning me up. i appreciate it, good to see yo you. wewe want to bring you a fox nes alert. if the pentagon has announced a delay to president trump's plans for a military parade, it was originally scheduled to take place the day before veterans day, it has been pushed back to sometime in 2019. the overall cost which was inspired by a similar parade in france is expected toth bemi $80 million. we'll continue to follow the story as it develops. up next to a mexican restaurant owner is being targeted because he dared serve dinner to the attorney general. he is hispanic and univision says he should not be allowed to

sure he gets back into the herd. >> i'm not sure if you're referring to a specific news reporter something you saw from one of our newscasts. >> tucker: our mutual friend jorge ramos is calling in effect for this restaurant owner to be punished because hispanics are not allowed to eat with jeff sessions. i was just wondering, i thought and 2018 regardless of your race you could eat with anyone you wanted. >> that's not what he said. i'm not surprised this is happening. this is what divided america. it's the trickle-down incivility that starts with the president calling women dogs and immigrants animals. and journalists enemies of the people and then every word from the kind of incendiary rhetoric that we hear from you or sean hannity or laura ingraham. >> tucker: you're saying donald trump is controlling his brain, does jorge know that? >> of course he doesn't control

anyone's brain, sometimes i i don't even controls his own brain. to be honest, i think this is what we get when we start with the hate and the division, with the lack of context, the resistance to facts that we see in our politics and that's also spreading to a larger contingent of the media. >> tucker: you guys are joining in. did you think part of your job would be to attack disobedient hispanics? would that be in the contract or is it something you discovered when we started working there. >> it's not something we do it univision. >> tucker: it's something you're doing right now. that's's exactly what he's doin, he's saying this man is hispanic therefore he has no rights to say anything nice about the attorney general of the united states. if this guy was african-american, asian, white it would be a big deal but he's

hispanicno therefore he's not allowed to because univision decides what hispanics are allowed to do. that's a weird position for a news network, don't you think? >> there's something to be said about the moral contradictions of a man -- he humanized and criminalized immigrants, suddenly he shows up, that's like cuban officials going to donald trump after a speech -- >> tucker: was the owner and immigrant? i thought he was an american. >> i don't think it makes a difference. there are a lot of immigrants who are american citizens. >> tucker: if you're saying you have an hispanic last name you must be an immigrant? that's not an assumption i make, there's lots of americans with hispanics last names.

he's an american, i'm assuming he is. i hope everyone here is an american. he is having a meal with the attorney general of w his county but he's not allowed to, speak slowly so i can understand this. >>e i didn't understand he's not allowed. i'm one of those people who doesn't believe in public shaming or this type of behavior when we see the public official, or the administration that he works for. i think we should be for civility and this is what a divided america looks like. >> tucker: right. this is a confusing time, 2018. i'm totally opposed to illegal immigration. i think our legal immigration levels should be lower because the country is getting too

volatile. i also like mexican food i grew up onfo the mexican border. should i be allowed to eat mexican food? >> i think this is what people are pointing out, the contradiction of attacking someone and celebrating their food -- >> tucker: it's american food. you think you own tacos now? this is so crazy. it sounds like you feel like you own tacos. i feel like they're an american food and i'm going to keep eating them even though i agree with jeff sessions. >> we should all celebrate in each other's cultures. we feed off each other. >> tucker: is an american food food. you're not going to appropriate appropriate -- i'm from san diego, those are my tacos. great to see you.

immigration fraud involving marriage to her own brother. scott johnson is a lawyer in minnesota, founder of the blog power line and a keen observer of politics in the state he joins us tonight. first to the ellison story, just to be clear -- this is not a conventional me to think, this is an allegation of violence, correct? >> correct. the charges were just made public on saturday evening and they are still reverberating as of this afternoon. the democrats were asking keith ellison to answer questions which he has so far refused to do. >> tucker: not all allegations are true of course and i think it's always important to remember that. how credible is are these allegations? >> i think they are quite credible.ui they were originally made by the ladies son on a facebook post and they caused people to take a look back at her tweets over the

period of time that she was dating allison and she alludes to being the subject of abuse in a #metoo kind of fashion without naming the perpetrator. in fact she was dating allison at the time, there are photographs of the two of them togetherut i think the allegatis it's fair to say he should not be presumed guilty but they are serious. >> tucker: al franken was forced out of the senate for something far less. it will be interesting to see. the woman who was just nominated tous replace him marrying her brother, cannot be right? >> i'm asking that question, i got a tip two years ago that in fact ilhan omar was married to two guys and her brother was husband number two and so far as i was able to check it out at the time, it seemed to check ou out. i asked her campaign to comment on what i had found and they

sent me back an email from a criminal defense attorney refusing to respond to the allegations and calling me a bigot. after i wrote about it on power line, a local reporter for a small publication, small online publication followed up on what i had written and she found all kinds of social media evidence supporting the evidence that husband number two was in fact her brother and as ilhan omar explained at the time she had never legally married as husband number one who he is comic she has always held out and explained that she married husband number two for a short period of time but has refused to answer any questions about him. in the two years since we've been writing about it. >> tucker: you think of minnesota is such a straightlaced estate.

women doing dumb thingss like bringing a new life into the world, doing the vital business of faithfully serving global capitalism. earning, consuming, just like amazon wants. motherhood does not turn a profit so get back to your drone work, private equity is counting on you. that's the america chelsea clinton likes to say. she must be grateful to the speaker of the house, despite promising to stop taxpayer funding of planned parenthood, paul ryan hasn't done that. they have performed another 600,000 abortions. he added more than $35 billion to the economy, congratulations paul ryan! shareholders are thrilled by that, amazon thanks you. america is in the grip of the worst drug crisis in its history. each year overdoses kill more americans than died during the entire vietnam war. the numbers are up this year, they just came out with over

70,000. you would think everybody manipulating the levers of power in washington would be concerned or panicked about this, but instead they have a very different agenda one that works at cross purposes. gettingg softer on drug dealers. a bipartisan bill would drastically cut minimum sentences for cocaine and heroin smugglers. why? tom cotton may have an answer, he joins us tonight. senator, this seems an odd time and to reduce the sentences for drug dealers, you've got 70,000 americans dying of drug ods, what is going on? >> is a very odd time, as you say 72,000 americans were killed from drug overdoses, it beat the record from the previous year. if anything, should be cracking down on drug dealers. fentanyl is a very dangerous

synthetic opioid, it's also returning a supreme court decision from a year ago that left many felons back onto the streets. armed career criminals. instead, moving forward with legislationis to drastically cut mandatory minimums and give liberal judges more discretion to deviate further, it's very disappointing. we shouldn't be focused on reducing sentences, we should be focusing on prisonso reform. everyone in prison is therefore a reason, there's a good chance they are going to commit future crimes if they don't get a skill or education or drug treatment, that's fine. prison reform is very different from sentencing reductions. >> tucker: if you are going to reduce sentences for criminals, youor would think he would focus on marijuana users or low-level drug users, why would you reduce the sentences for large-volume drug traffickers -- was pushing

this? >> for the reason why you have to focus on large-scale drug traffickers in the federal prison system because that's all that's in the federal prison system. virtually no one goes to federal prison as a low-level nonviolent offender, just a few hundred people at most. in those cases they usually pleaded down from a more seriout offense. i can't speak to what every state does but even at the state level it's pretty rare. at the federal level, if you are a in federal prison you are a repeat offender or a series offender. if you're in congress that's the only system that you control, if you're ideologically committed that means lower sentences at the federal level for serious traffickers. >> tucker: are you worried crime rate is going to goo up? >> i am worried that is going up. mandatory minimum sentences into three strikes laws and taking discretion away from liberal judges over the last 30 years

has led to a remarkable decline in crime in this country. we started to see some increases in crime in the last two years of the obama administration and it stands to reason and most prisoners when released from prison commit future crimes that if we let more prisoners out or shorten their sentences, you're going to see an increase in crime in this country. >> tucker: it's not complicated. apparently your colleagues need convincing. thank you for your work on that. next, it's a final exam. katie pavlich is back going for her eighth win in a row. richard goodstein is the man she faces off against. what will happen? minutes from now you'll find ou out. how do you win at business?
