soil automatically becomes a u.s. citizen. context is irrelevant. it doesn't matter if your parents were tourists or illegal aliens or foreign saboteurs, if their plane was forced down to refuel and you emerged. it doesn't matter. if you were born on our property you are a citizen. in a recent interview with axios president trump suggested this is not a great deal for america. he pledged to change it with an executive order. it seems likely that would abolish birth tourism, that'sit where people travel to the unit state solely for the purpose of having kids and winning citizenship as long as the many benefits that follow from that. nobody else in washington is waiting for details. they hate it already. the very same people who spent decades trying to got the got the bill of rights are now lecturing the rest of us thatt the idea is, brace herself, unconstitutional. paul ryan for example, the outgoing speaker of the house.

he announced his opposition to this immediately. the very idea, he said, is ridiculous, listen. >> you obviously cannot do that. you cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order. >> tucker: obviously, obviously. not the phrasing. obviously. that's what people say when they don't feel like making a rational case for their positions, usually because they can't. is it really "obvious" that the constitution requires us to give citizenship to the children of illegal aliens? paul ryan has no idea, he just t doesn't want to have a conversation about it. he wants you to be quiet. in fact, as a legal matter it is an open question. the supreme court has never ruled on but there is ampleal reason to believe the law does not apply to illegal immigrants or birth tourists. birthright citizenship arises from the 14th amendment passed just three years after the civil war and it was passed to guarantee citizenship to freed. the senator who wrote the citizenship clause in the 14th

amendment, howard of michigan explained the point of it on the senate floor at the time. "the amendment will not, of course, include persons born in the united states who are foreigners, aliens who belong to the families of ambassadors ore foreign ministers." again, the amendment was designed to ensure that newly freed would be treated as the american citizens they were. the point was to enfranchise african-americans. the point was not to enable the rest of the world to scam our system, to abuse our generosity. trump's proposal will get us closer to the purpose of the 14th amendment and for that he is being denounced, naturally, as a racist. listen to some of the dumb people on tv. >> what used to be five years ago, ten years ago, dog whistles to appeal to the fears of white voters now are just stated openly. >> the principal debate, the real fault when it gets people going is this issue of openness, how open are we to people, how

open are we to trade in the issue of national identity versus internationalism, globalism, if you will. so what donald trump is doing is he is mining that fault line. he is working it whether it's birthright citizenship, whether it's sending troops to a border that's not under siege. we are no longer arguing serious issues about how to regulate our economy. we are no longer arguing serious issues about how to fight the cold war. we are arguing questions about national identity and it's not that far to get from that to issues of racism. >> tucker: let's get this f straight, defining citizenship is not "a serious issue"? only in new york and washington were serious is where to find good broader or how to get to the hamptons in under three hours on a friday night.w these people are total buffoons. there is no more serious debate than the debate over citizenship and it's long overdue. globally birthright citizenshipz is the rare exception.

it is not the role. canada and the u.s. are the only developed countries that have birthright citizenship. not a single european country allows it. out of the 54 countries in africa, only two offer birthright citizenship. the other 52 racist? how about harry reid, is he a racist too? watch the former democratic senate majority leader explain his views on birthright citizenship. >> if making it easy to be illegal alien is enough of a a call that an award for beingze illegal immigrant. no sane country would do that, right? guess again. if you break our laws byby entering this country without permission and give birth to a child, we reward that child with u.s. citizenship and guarantee a full access to all public and social services the society provides, and that's a lot of services. is it any wonder that two-thirds of the babies born at taxpayer

expense, county run hospitals in los angeles are born to illegal alien mothers? >> tucker: as a factual matter that's tougher than anything? donald trump is ever said. keep in mind that just four years ago that man was the top democrat in the senate. try saying that today. would be called bull connor and shouted out the stage with the questions he raised are stillto fair questions. is birthright citizenship helping this country or is it hurting this country? under our current system illegal immigrants who come to the u.s. and have children are eligible to receive tax credit, food stamps and other welfare benefits. c those are huge incentives. not surprisingly, one in every 12 births in this country right now is someone here illegally. that does not even include birth tourism.no every year tens of thousands of foreign nationals come to thiss country on visas solely to give birth to children. the chinese are over strongly represented.

china offers high end birth tours and specialists.ng for 20 grand these experts navigate clients through the process of having a child in america. in return for that 20 grand, social security, medicare, countless other programs. if they come back to the u.s. for college they get in-state tuition, federally backed student loans, financially. all the benefits that are to bed going to actual americans were drowning in college debt. this is a scam. there is no other word for it. don't blame the chinese or the russians or the salvadorans or anybody else using the system, we are the ones offering it. why wouldn't they take it?t? the blame lies with us.y no other country would allow itself to be relentlessly exported like this for decades and no other leadership class would side with foreigners over its own people and yet ours does every time. and that tells you everything. michael antone is a former senior national security official in the trump administration, a lecturer at

hillsdale college and probably the first person inn this generation to raise the question of whether citizenship is indeed constitutional. thank you very much.ra you wrote this piece, i think began this current conversation this past july and people were stunned to find out that this was not a settled matter. most people believe this is etched in the bottom of the statue of liberty but it's not. >> i do want to give credit where credit is due, john eastman. a constitutional scholar and lawyer, he litigates constitutional questions. edward, really scholarly work. i learned this argument from them. they are two of my teachers. but it's true that it had kind of gone dormant for a while. >> tucker: dormant! this is flat earth society stuff. everybody believes we have a constitutional mandate to allow the illegal children of aliens. >> they base that on a misreading of the first sentence. all persons born or naturalized in the united states are citizens.

they leave out the part in thel middle, subject to the jurisdiction thereof. they either leave it out or just means you have to obey the law. if you are a tourist coming from england or canada or anywhere y you have to obey u.s. law while you're in the united states. it doesn't make your children a citizen or u.s. citizen. subject to the jurisdiction meant something specific to the people who wrote the amendment. they said it, you read the debates over the amendment. they said it means that you don't owe allegiance to any foreign power, anyone else. you are subject to the complete jurisdiction of the united states which means you are not a citizen of anotherne country. it clearly doesn't apply to people who to people whoho aren't citizens or who were born to people who aren't citizens or subject to the jurisdiction of another country. the constitution is clear on that point. there is no statute that says otherwise decades ago the executive branch agencies of the federal government decided to apply this principle as if everyone birthright citizenship. why did they do that? why do bureaucracies typically in our country anyway act

without authority? usually it's to serve the interest of liberalism. when the administrative state starts doing something it's not authorized to do and no one has ever told her to know you can bet it's not doing so for conservative reasons or reasons that benefit american citizens. it's doing so for reasons that benefit liberalism and that's what happened in this case. >> tucker: hearing the argument now from the usual course of dumb people thatha everything they don't like is racist. correct me if i'm wrong with the purpose of this amendment was to enfranchise people who have been -- african-americans who had been enslaved. so in what sense -- does that argument even make sense? i want to take it seriously. >> as you say, the racist is just a cudgel to beat up people whose arguments you don't like. so the 13 amendment freed every. been a controversy at the time were some states were saying you can free the, but we have the power to make them citizens and we are not going to do it. congress passed the civil rights act of 1866. the same congress, same year the draft of this amendment.

that was vetoed by president johnson. the veto was overridden. two-thirds of both houses saying freed black, they are citizens. it also says not subject to any foreign power. some of the southern states came back with 1857, the supreme court ruled in dred scott that no black person, even a free black person could ever be a citizen of the united states so the reconstruction congress had okay then we are going to put this in the constitution. we are not going to let you get away with this. we are going to make this undeniable that every fleet till mike freed slaves and their descendants are citizens. >> tucker: and amendment designed to enfranchise african-americans being here for hundred years, 500 years is now being used by chinese nationals and russians flying into guam or los angeles to have children here. that would be not the original intent.an >> absolutely not. one of the things i find incredible and amusing, sadly so, the russian hysteria of our time. a russia is supposed to be the biggest enemy the united states

has right now. more dangerous than in theup cold war. we are supposed to be on a war footing with russia and the president is criticized for saying maybe we should cool it and turn the heat down. however, we can't act as thehe question of russian women flying to los angeles and having babies to give birth. the suppose it of ours, it's the tool to allow them to abuse our system by giving citizenship to their children who are born here, spend a couple of days and then go back. >> tucker: hurting ourselves, required to hurt ourselves. >> and of course hurting our president. >> tucker: and america. masochism being the operating impulse of the left. michael anton, thank you very much. >> think you are having me. >> tucker: the president traveled to pittsburgh, pennsylvania, following the murder of 11 worshipers at thee. tree of life synagogue. trace gallagher has more. >> squirrel hill, the historic cup of pittsburgh's community,

james o'keefe has a video in which a staffer for kyrsten sinema out and's arizona says she is hiding her liberalism to deceive voters. >> there's a lot of very conservative people in arizona, so she can't alienate conservative or moderate conservative voters.ve she is pro-choice, she is very, she's progressive. but she doesn't, in the selection draw to too much attention to being progressive because she's trying to be more -- that's why i think she took so much democratic health, otherwise she wouldn't have won. >> tucker: because the country is not quite as crazy as the democratic party, even in 2018, so lie about it.au that's what's happening in missouri perhaps were claire mccaskill, the incumbent senator is disavowing the democratic party. watch this.

>> i would say this, i would noa call my colleagues crazy, but elizabeth warren sure went after me when i advocated tooling back some of the regulations for small banks and credit unions. i certainly disagree with bernie sanders on a bunch of stuff. >> tucker: for the record, there is literally no difference between elizabeth and warren and claire mccaskill, but whatever. lisa boothe has been on these campaigns for us for a while now and doing a great job. i sense a theme here. let's start with the mccaskill clip that we just played were some democrats in some states are pretending to be much more moderate than their voting records suggest they really are. >> claire mccaskill has said that elizabeth warren is one oft those crazy democrats, yet she>> has voted with her 60% of the time and she has voted with senator chuck schumer 80% of the time entries only voted with president trump 45% of the time but guess what, she's trying to show that she is chummy with

president trump because he won the state of missouri by 19 points. she told bret baier that she 100% supports president trump's policies on the caravan and on immigration response to that. she's trying to run to the center and josh hawley, a republican opponent, has really made this an issue by calling out claire mccaskill and saying you are not a moderate, you are too left-leaning for thi state, so that's what this is all in response to. >> tucker: i got to say as an editorial comment that i can't repress, if you won the state bt 19 points were public and should be doing a little better than they're doing in my opinion. what is that?oi is missouri. kyrsten sinema, of coursee running against martha mcsally, the congresswoman, u.s. military veteran. where is that race right now would you say? >> it still really tight and that is interesting. i will say that president trump didn't won arizona by that much in 2016 so i think it is all little bit more of a swing state

than people give itiv credit fo. but sinema didn't really start moderating her views until 2012 so now she's trying to -- ever since then she's been trying to present herself as more of ag moderate. this is someone in 2010 extended a conference where she said arizona is the meth lab of democracy. as you know, it's this progressive organization and conference. she is also called herself a product socialist in the past and has these crazy left wing ideas and policies on military in the past as well as border security being part of this group. she's clearly made a calculated move to move to the center because that's what it takes to win back the state of arizona as a democrat and for the video, they edited that. we can independently verify that it fox news, but i think what it does show is that she's clearly trying to hide some of these past positions that she's had. >> tucker: at least beto o'rourke, who i would eat glass voting for, i'm not endorsing,

kind of a far a progressive. maybe you should get points for that, maybe sinema should do the same. great to see you tonight. e >> thanks. >> tucker: a handful of black conservatives areou advocating what they are calling "blexit," that would be an exit from the democratic party, could that actually happen? we've got an update on it next. ♪ ♪ it is such a good time to kiss ♪ ♪ it is such a good time to dance ♪ ♪ it is such a good time to

but if you listen carefully there were some insightful poinn that he made in some important questions, including whether black americans ought to be monolithically loyal to the democratic party. why should they be? that's the question other people are asking as well, founder and president -- suggesting the democrats have moved left on religion and social policies, even the rule of law itself. they could continue to alienate some conservative minded black s voters. star parker joins us tonight. thank you very much for coming on. simple question, first, why should african-americans who for generations have been very loyal to the democratic party rethink that loyalty? >> they've been loyal to the democratic party because blacksk have bought this idea of activist government but something very exciting is happening now with trumping office, the trump administration is focusing on urban communities and initiatives so we have two things happening right now.rb there are very exciting. number one african-american millennials, kanye west hasth

motivated, they say wait a minute, what have democrats done for us? first of all, the millennial does not buy this racism behind every rock narrative of the democratic party because their friends are diverse. they've grown up in a society post-civil rights era, so they don't know that world at all. but secondly, there individualist. they like uniqueness. we can see them in the tattoos that they wear. so this idea of collectivism an. big government doesn't work for them as well but was also happen is you have the baby boom black. more traditional in their worldview, so now the democrat party has become so extreme to the left, so progressive that its conflicting with that babyby boom black world view values anh they are concerned about their grandchildren and what they're learning in schools, so we will see how it all plays out. our group is looking very closely at wisconsin, michigan when we are talking about the senate seats, governor seats, we should all be looking at georgia, we should look at florida and even to some degree maryland.

i'm very excited about the momentum. >> tucker: if you are an african-american voter and your family has been in this country for 400 years, a long time and a lot of cases and all of a sudden your party is telling you that the real concern is people who aren't even here illegally,se foreign nationals from other countries, do you ask yourself at some point but what about me, the american citizen? does that turn off voters at a certain point? >> it's not only turning them off that this hijacking of the civil rights movement is taking place for legal minorities, but illegal for a lesser even more frustrated because now you are looking at an environment to where you have that low-wage workers competing for jobs andor communities and against people who will not speak english, so it's not only affecting the real low-wage, it's affecting the middle-class because if you want to work in any type of public service for the fire, for the police, for the teachers, anything, you have to be bilingual and this is making a tremendous impact on african-americans, we think with these new arrivals are. >> tucker: i think it's a

totally fair question. i never even thought about the bilingual question. >> it's horrible. in california for instance you can take the driver's license test and 40 languages. >> tucker: i never hear maxine waters or any member of the cbc mentioned that.uc why? >> they are very invested in progressivism. it's their job to make surehe blacks do not get any of this information. the whole congressional black caucus -- they had to make sure that no gets any information of freedom and that's been there role for the last 50 years. what's happening now is people are getting more information. my organization, we have our own news site. a black community news.com so people are getting other sources of news. president trump said latelye about fake news is very real. there are many instruments now competing against that, the mainstream media, so we can get other information and blacks are hearing that message. >> tucker: star parker, thanks for joining us. san francisco is one of the mosm expensive cities in the world, could get more expensive very soon.

to this day fruitlessly. that's thanks almost entirely to bullying from our thoroughly discredited foreign policy establishment. they are happy to keep things the way they are. 17 years later we has a country have almost nothing to show fory what we spent there, the lives and the money. the taliban remains strong. the u.s. backed government controls nearly half of that country. described afghanistan as "largely lawless, weak and dysfunctional." we are no longer even aiming at any kind of military victory. the best we can hope for is a sort of stalemate that keeps the taliban partly in power. so what is the point of all of this? some people are getting rich from it, drive to the d.c. suburb sometimes and see for yourself. most americans derive no benefis at all. some families are paying the highest possible price. two years and, it's not too late for the president to deliver on a campaign promise he once made and end this disaster. tomorrow might be a good day to start with that.

san francisco, one of the most expensive cities to live in or do business in consumer get even more costly. this tuesday voters in the city will consider an initiative that would implement a new tax on businesses. that money they say would bee used to fight homelessness. if approved the tax is expected to cause businesses to owe about $300 million a year. former member of the san francisco police commission currently running for d.a. there. he's a frequent guest on thean shelf and joins us today. thanks for coming on. how much tax do san francisco spend already homelessness? >> the number is 300 million but is probably closer to about one and a half to $2 billion if you take into account all the resources that each of the city departments are putting into the issue. the fire department alone, one of the fire commissioners here, we recently did an audit and almost half of our calls, 40% of our calls are homeless related calls so there are a lot of

resources going into this issue and i think the mayor is right on this one. she's only been in office for about six months. she says no, which of the proposition you are speaking about i think she's right about it because there's this institution that's been built around homelessness that if we keep feeding it money and it's not showing results, it's really just a practice of lunacy. so this mayor has said she's dedicated to the number one issue of solving homelessness so for her to say no on c is really a big deal because she personally sees where this money goes so she's fixing this problem the way it should be solved. >> tucker: if i could just say i was just there last week and the city is inherently beautiful. obviously you know that but if the filthiest place i've been in north america. why not do what cities have traditionally done which is to say you are not allowed to shoot heroin on the sidewalk or defecate in front of kids on market street. wouldn't that be a good

failing on all sides, they have decided to seek refuge in audacity. he's gearing up for presidential run. politico reports he's artied assembled a team of democratic advisors, jack quinn, quite a famous democratic advisor here in washington to help them raise money, craft a message and ultimately rule the land as president. maybe the creepy porn president will do better than the creepy. porn lawyer has done. tammy bruce joins us tonight. the whole point of never using his name, which i don't evento know, to be honest, at this point, is to send obviously the signal that we are not going to take this wholly seriously. and yet there are people in washington. n jack quinn, again, the famous clinton find and sort of an eminent guy in washington, nice guy. he apparently is advising creepy porn lawyer, so why are all these democrats taking a nonserious candidacy so seriously?

>> they think there might be money. for a lot of people this is their job. 24/7, 365 is that they work for candidates and people ginning up their profile to be seriousnd people or more serious people but clearly for the democrats the bar has become very, very low. it's so low it's on the floor and you saw the comments with your montage, really remarkable. if this guy, not only with the irs, losing a lawsuit from a former partner to the tune of over $4 million, his client t stormy daniels has been told by a judge she has to pay donald trump's legal fees having lost part of the case against him. now like over $300,000 so i'll creepy porn lawyer is elevating his profile using these people, she is probably going to have to go bankrupt. julie being referred h for criminal investigation by the senate. she's going to have to get a different lawyer as well to

defend her so he's destroying these lives and using these women and it looks like maybe the democratic party is the next woman that he wants to use to get more money. >> tucker: such a good point and i made that point to him in the one and only appearance on this show. >> stormy daniels was to perform in a depressing strip club, this hero that you say your protection, you are her protector, why is she working in stevie strip clubs while you are on television wearing expensive suits? why are you not exploiting her? why is she doing that? >> because she wants to. this is america and guess what? if a woman wants to perform in a strip club, she does so i'm notf getting rich. >> tucker: how badly do you think stormy daniels wants to perform at strip clubs in richmond? >> women make their own decisions. we all find our own level and we make choices for what best suits us. the problem for mr. creepy porn

lawyer, the only thing missing is the giant gold ring and a big giant gold necklace as he's using this process to benefit himself. and you see that as the clients lose -- they don't just lose. they end up having charges against them or having to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars. they lose and they get ruined. he might be a perfect democrati candidate because that's what the democrats do to the country. they get in there, they bankrupt us, they ruin our lives and everything is worse. so this is clearly what we should expect from the democrats but in fact the base deserves better. women, regardless of their party, deserve better. the democrats think that -- it's the #metoo movement and this is the man that they want to elevate in this process. they are desperate. there clearly is no talent there clearly is maybe not even a party at this point in that exchange with you will go down in infamy as an example of what

we would expect and would want from leaders in this country and the democratic party clearly has -- i don't know if it'ss rock-bottom yet. maybe the team of creepy porn lawyer and hillary. >> tucker: he could win. thank you for your smart analysis.uc the migrant caravan which we are not supposed to talk about because it's wrong, but we are going to anyway is still on its way north making its way here. the president said he's going to meet with thousands of u.s. troops. is that a smart thing to do? will it affect the midterm election a week from today? that's next. ♪

border and planning an executive order on birthright citizenship to reign in birth tourism, the president is making it clear that the border and whether it exists at all or ought to bede defended is the central issue. a democrat, former cia officer joins usoc tonight. thanks a lot for coming on. you are a lifelong democrat froa a family of democrats from eastern oregon, moderate fdr democrats. so taking trump the man out of the equation, when they hear policies like this, troops to the border, end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants, what's their responses democrats to that? >> positive.ei i think most folks feel a sense of compassion. certainly in my own family for the people in central and south america who are struggling economically or who have done my current property. but most people understand, my family included that we have laws for a reason and you can commit an uninvited and unvented and just march across the border.en and secondarily you can't come to the country, have children and have very poor english abilities and certainly poor ability to get a job and support your own family and then expect

a country or a bunch of other people to support you. i think my family is like most in that we want to have compassion for folks thatt are struggling but we also believe people come here because of the rule of law and if you don't have the rule of law, you don't have the stability needed to create and grow and create a country that attracts people. >> tucker: exactly. you are also from a part of the country that doesn't get act lot of attention, which is to say you are not from new york, los angeles, or washington, d.c., so the zip code that you grew up in, the town that you are from, wast a lot richer than it ten years ago? probably not, right? so do people there wonder, a lot of attention is being paid to foreign nationals, but what about us? >> sure. i think you've heard that over the past 20 or 30 years. nafta certainly, the chinese entering the wto. the giganticic sucking sound whn china started grabbing a lot of those industrial manufacturing facilities, that impacted places where i come from. my hometown was impacted.

our timber mill shut down. so absolutely people get frustrated. they feel like they have been left behind and the democratic party, i think, hasas done a very poor job at rallying the people in rural communities because they focuse now on identity politics. if you are a particular color skin come if you are woman, whatever it is, that's who we want to focus on as a party. we are not interested in people and places that are more rural or people that don't fit that desired demographic by democratic party. so i have certainly heard it continued frustration by my family, my friends, and i hope that the democratic party wakes up and if they don't, then the republicans should continue to do well because they will serve the interest of the rural people better than anyone else. >> tucker: i would say the leadership on the hill of the republican party cares about world people about as much of the democratic party does, which is not at all. but there are -- i think there is a growing realization that is that's who they represent, those are their people.

why do you think the democratic r party explicitly attacks people from towns like yours? >> i think that we have become in their minds the deplorables. that wasn't just a slip of the tongue by hillary clinton. we are the people who cling to our guns and our god and that's a bad thing. famous words spoken by president obama. so for whatever reason we have become expendable and i think part of that is because we don't have the numbers that you willhi find in more urban areas that can bring votes and so our interests aren't of interest and that's frankly the bottom line. it's a political calculus that we are not as important as we once used to be, which by the way, will end up hurting us big time. >> tucker: certainly it will. a despised minority group under attack by politicians. rural america. pretty disgusting. you put it so nicely. great to see you. our show is over.. we are sad about that but we will be back again tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity,

smugness, and groupthink, all in great abundance right now. this won't last forever. good night from washington. guess who's next? three guesses. sean hannity. >> sean: who's next? me. >> tucker: live from new york city! sean.
