suicide lifeline. god bless james woods. happy thanksgiving to him. >> martha: thank you for sharing that story with those tonight. good advice in good ways to get help. that is our story tonight. have a good thanksgiving, everyone. tucker is up next. ♪ ♪ >> good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." i am mark steyn in fourth tucker this evening but he will be here for a special appearance later in the show. first, a continuing crisis in america's southern border and a new legal ruling that could have quite an impact. jonathan has more. >> good evening, mark. thousands of central american migrants are at the u.s.-mexico border awaiting their chance to apply for asylum. some are trying to circumvent what can be a lengthy process by crossing the border illegally, where there isn't a checkpoint, then claiming asylum while

already on u.s. soil. it is those what-be illegal immigrants that president trump targeted in a november 9th proclamation saying anyone who crosses the border between official points of entry would not be eligible for asylum. but the courts have again ruled against the president with u.s. district judge who was appointed by president obama writing, "whatever the scope of the president's authority, he may not rewrite the immigration laws to oppose a condition that congress has expressly forbidden." the trump administration can appeal, and the case will likely be heard by the ninth circuit court of appeals, which has already ruled against the president on a number of immigration issues, a fact clearly not lost on president trump, who berated the ninth circuit as he left the white house for his thanksgiving break today. to speak out you go to the ninth circuit and it's a disgrace. i am going to put in a major complaint because you cannot win if you are us, a case in the

ninth circuit. >> around 3,000 migrants from the caravan that originated in central america have gathered in tijuana on the mexico side of the u.s. border. the department of homeland security says there are around 500 "criminals" among them, although it has not said specifically what each of their alleged crimes is appeared on the u.s. side, 5,800 troops are now stationed to support customs and border agents and an estimated cost of $72 million, according to the pentagon today, and i made a certain degree of confusion as to how long those troops will stay and exactly what their mission is. mark? >> mark: thanks, jonathan. juan hernandez is a former advisor to the mexican president and he joins us now. in what sense are these people in the caravan asylum-seekers?

>> i met with many of them. i met with the 7200 caravan in the state that i now work with under the governor, specificallh immigrants. mostly mexican immigrants living in the united states. but also, it was my duty to make sure that we treat it in a humanitarian way, these 7,200. i tell you, you sit down with them for a minute and you are in tears. these are children, these are women. let me finish -- these are people looking for a better way of life like your family and my family did many years ago coming to the united states. >> mark: i didn't come as an asylum's acre, but if i was and asylum-seekers , this caravan has marched across two national frontiers. it marched into guatemala illegally and then it marched into mexico illegally. if you are an asylum-seeker, i

am supposed to seek asylum in the first safe country i come to? >> my friend, we all know the united states is today the most powerful nation in the world. it is their dream of many, many people who are just trying to get out of dire poverty, violence, to be able to reach the united states and to be a blessing, as they are the immigrants to this nation. that's the dream. they are coming to the united states, and they are seeking asylum. they are not innovating. it's such a small number. >> mark: wait a minute -- you are now saying that a dream is a basis for asylum. i might have a dream -- >> definitely. >> mark: i might have a dream to live in barbra streisand house, doesn't mean i have a right to move into her guest bedroom. >> if you are a block away from her home and you are being attacked and being and your children, the only chance they g

and you can't even feed them, you would be knocking on that movie stars, saying, is there some way that i can be here in your home and work for you? >> mark: she still wouldn't let me end. you know that. >> she would. she would. >> mark: here's the thing, you talk about all the children, there are women being raped, these are overwhelmingly young men. what kind of asylum-seekers leave the old and the sick, and the kids, and the women folk back in guatemala, or wherever, and it's just the young men who come across the frontier? it's overwhelmingly young men. >> yes, probably about 75% to 80% are young men, you are right. they are the ones who want to do better for their families and they are leaving desperately. they see no way that they can be able to survive in some of the

places where they come from. >> mark: no, no, no. everyone with a dream, there are 7 billion people on the planet and as you say, america is the most powerful, wealthiest, all the rest of it. the fact that that gives 6.5 billion people the right to move to the united states? >> it's not that it is a right -- although many would claim that it is a human right that if you are in a dire situation, you are going to try, even if you have to break some administrative rules. they have not committed crimes. they are just seeking asylum. >> mark: you are now start of the state government in mexico. >> yes, sir. probably. >> mark: what is wrong with your estate if they just want a better life? why can't they move to your state? your estate is better than honduras, wherever they come from. >> yes, it is. the dream for them is the united states. there is a wonderful article by a priest from honduras and he

called at the boil over. i suggest many of your viewers read it. i think it came out in "the new york times," the translation. he said these are people, they are not organized, they weren't paid by everyone. dozens were going to desperately leave the country and it just boiled over. it literally thousands said we can take it no longer, we must seek a better life. it is happening all over the world. today there are two and a half million people going from one country to another trying to find a better life. we have to deal with it. we must be a country of laws -- mexico and the united states -- and people are being tested. other nations have not passed the test. we need to pass this test of being humanitarian and decency to these people. >> mark: why is it in the interest of these other countries for all of their most talented people to move to the united states or western europe?

why is it in the interest of guatemala or anywhere else to be denuded of its most talented people? >> well, sure, it's mostly economic. in the united states -- and i'm sure you do -- read the statistics, the united states is growing at less than 1%. the united states needs about 350,000 new people every year. these 10,000 are good people. i met them -- >> mark: they may be good people -- >> they are doing great, financially, but there dream is to come to the united states. >> mark: there are plenty of good people. if you go to these airports, you get your mail order on a machine. nobody needs people anymore, it's all automation. >> that's not true. >> mark: no, it is true. 30% of the world will be unemployed in a few years. what is the real situation -- thank you. what's the real situation at the border, and what our agents

actually having to deal with her as caravan approaches? tom homan is the former acting director of i.c.e., and he joins us. we have seen dramatic themes going on at the southern border, tom, as this caravan prepares, essentially, to cross with impunity its third national frontier. what is going to happen? >> real quick, let me respond to his comments. we are the most welcoming country in the world. so, enough. you can't want to be part of the greatest country on earth and not follow our laws. it does not qualify for asylum, so they are committing fraud. that is a stone cold facts. what's going on at the border, this president has gotten our nation ready, he's got additional officers out there, building extra infrastructure, they are building facilities to detain people, which is a secret. what this president needs to do which had to happen in the past,

if they get to the united states, they need to be detained until they can see a judge. the central american population is right around 81% to 91 present will lose their case because they don't qualify for asylum. they have to be in custody when they lose their case or they will be removed, which sends a strong message to the rest of the world that we are a nation of laws. we will give you do process but you have to live by the judge's decision, also. >> mark: you say we are a nation of laws, we are getting governed by judges. judges have ruled that illegal immigrants being convicted have a right to say goodbye. that is in the constitution. a judge has ruled to stop the deportation of 1400 iraqi nationals who have committed a crime. another judge struck down downe trump's travel ban because foreign nationals apparently have an affirmative right to visit their relatives in the united states. in other words, now the courts

are actually making a mockery of any prospective immigration or asylum enforcement. >> they absolutely are. in the case you just mentioned, one case, he had an ordered the partition. he had due process, and he was ordered to be removed. when they finally went to arrest him, he wanted more time to say goodbye to his family when he knew for years he had to lead. >> mark: the constitutional right to a long goodbye. the judge managed to detect a that. >> we are in a state right now, the aclu just sued the trump administration for the right for people to enter this country illegally and be able to seek asylum. the ninth circuit has lost their mind. this is not about the rule of law but an attack on the trump administration. when he gives an asylum proclamation, it's the same general principle as the travel ban. we won that in the supreme court, we will win the spirit of the problem is, until he gets to the supreme court,

thousands and thousands and thousands will come because of this world. >> mark: thanks a lot. you are right on that. as we mentioned, judges are not just out of control on immigration or inventing rights for central american migrants. today, federal judge mark goldsmith ordered the release of more than 100 criminal immigrants. some of these guys committed crimes as severe as assault and even murder. a rack doesn't them back. that's too bad because as judge goldsmith has ruled, the government can't even hold them. they have to let them go back into the community. increasingly, the judges seem to be blocking any deportations at all, even for convicted murderers. and speaking of the battle between the trump administration and the legal system, president trump has submitted his written answers to questions posed by the mueller investigation. the president's attorneys said the questions trump answered related to russia, and rudy

giuliani has said that president's cooperation with the investigation is unprecedented. he has called for a quick end to the investigation. we will have more on that in just a moment. also, democrats, stacy adams lost the gubernatorial fair and square but she won't concede. is this the new normal from the democrats? we will talk about that also. and have no fear, tucker is here. he will be making a special appearance tonight right here on "tucker carlson tonight." all that coming up. today... back pain can't win. now introducing aleve back and muscle pain. only aleve targets tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve back & muscle. all day strong. all day long.

♪ >> mark: one final battle still to be fought in the midterms, and the u.s. senate. at this time in mississippi. a republican, cindy hyde-smith is running against democrat, mike sp. normally this should be a slam-dunk for republicans, but to investigate why not, our election experts, lisa has been keeping -- >> i like that, election experts. >> mark: you have been to all the elections. it is three weeks after election day, but the votes are still on peer >> that is my background working in politics. look, it is competitive because there was a jungle primary. cindy hyde-smith, who is the republican incumbent running for reelection, nobody reached over the 55% threshold so now we are in this runoff, november 27th,

there you see on the screen, mike sp, the democrat and sidi highsmith, who is the incumbent will face. democrats are really drawing attention to some of the recent comments that cindy hyde-smith has made and that is what they are kind of honing in and focusing on, however i don't know if this race will end up being as competitive as people are trying to make it out to be. there were two republicans who ate up a lot of the vote. you had cindy hyde-smith, who was the leader, not reaching the 55% threshold, but also daniel not reaching 60% of the vote. without him in the picture, you can see how her chances are a lot better off on november 27th. >> mark: you don't think there is anything to this theory that a lot of formerly red states are starting to purple a little? that's the democrats' theory on how texas, georgia, and maybe even mississippi, in the medium-term election cycle down

the road, things favor that i'm here >> we will find out in 2020. it is really hard to tell. this is just a bad election cycle for republicans. i remember in 2009, "time" magazine did a cover and said "endangered species for republicans," and republicans won the house, 63 seats in 2010. then in 2012, republicans did an autopsy report, so much for the white house. they went back to win the senate in 2014 and 2016. we just don't know. maybe 2020 is a terrible year for republicans. we don't know that. i don't think we can really draw the conclusion that somehow republicans are in trouble in the south. we will find out on november 27th what happens in history. maybe that proves we can be wrong, but i do think chris mcdaniel no longer being on the battle there and just a republican versus democrat race, republicans will comb home versus cindy hyde-smith. >> mark: all right, you will be back to tell us about that later. november 27th. thank you, lisa. it only took ten days, but stacy

abrams has finally admitted she has lost georgia's gubernatorial race. despite that, she has not actually conceded, and instead is claiming the election was illegitimate because it happened to produce the wrong winner. >> it was not a free and fair election. it was not fair to the thousands who were forced to wait in long lines. it was not fair to the thousands that were put on hold with their registration. >> is the legitimate governor of georgia? >> he is the person who won the adequate number of votes. >> you not using the word legitimate. is he the legitimate governor of georgia? >> he is the legal governor of georgia. >> mark: fox political analyst joins us, britt, the democrats seem to be taking the views of this guy as colonel qaddafi, or barbaric. he didn't really win the thing.

>> this is how this works. if you are a democrat and you complain, no matter how unfounded your complaint may be about the results of an election why you are a patriot. i've seen her styled in some places as a class act. when you complain about the result of an election and that it was rigged, or whatever. if you are a republican in florida, however, and you complain about the documented court-confirmed irregularities in two counties down there, you are undermining democracy. if that sounds to you like a double standard, i would suggest that is exactly what it is and the hypocrisy is remarkable. don't forget this: donald trump wins the election in 2016, and we have heard no end of complaints that that was rigged and set up for him in a collaborating -- a lot of collaboration with the russians. there are still people who claim that conspiracy theory to this day. it's okay if you are a democrat

to complain but if you are a republican, no. >> mark: democrats don't actually seem to accept the legitimacy of any republican in history. in the end, what they are doing is actually undermining the entire face of the legitimacy of u.s. elections, aren't they? >> that is certainly the complaint that they always large when republicans complain, but heaven forbid we suggest that is what they are doing. i think in the case of the georgia election in particular, their complaints were especially unfounded. if you look at the complaint point by point, the things that were done that took certain people off the voter role were mandated by law. if you do the identification, the signature check, that is likewise a matter of law. there is nothing irregular about the way that election was handled that has been in any documented serious way. yet here she is complaining with

support from her side of the aisle. my view is her complaint is so lame it won't do any damage to people's faith in democracy, but it is out there anyway. >> mark: speaking of faith and democracy, we mention, here we are two years are, we are still investigating officially the 2016 election. today, the president finished his answers for robert mueller. does that mean mr. mueller's investigation is drawing to a close? >> one would think this represents a final say. i think the mueller team has been waiting to see what kind of answers it would get president trump to answer for quite some time, and this appears to be it. i suppose it is theoretically possible that they could look at these answers and say, wait a minute, this opens up a whole new lineup inquiry. these independent councils or special prosecutors, when that was still the case, do tend to go on for as long as they want with whatever budget they need.

and of course, the clambering washington now is the fear that they's new acting attorney general will rein that investigation in. my hunch is the investigation is probably very near a conclusion. you know, mark, this investigation has been widely mischaracterized on all sides. you often hear it said that the purpose of the investigation was to determine if there was collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. actually, that is a subset of what the investigation is supposed to be about. it originated under james comey as a counterintelligence investigation to determine what exactly the russians did to try to influence the election. that was its principal purpose with the collusion allegations being a piece of that, but not the main event. i think what we are likely to hear from mueller is a report that will go into quite some detail about exactly what the russians did, which could be very useful to know. >> mark: yell, as long as they managed to finish it before the russians steal the 2020 elections. >> before the 2020 election is

over. >> mark: or 2024, yeah. thank you. the women's march was supposed to destroy president trump. instead, it is destroying itself. that's next. plus, tucker himself making a special appearance. all that just ahead on "tucker carlson tonight." he'd be proud of us. protect your family, your business and everyone who counts on you. see how lincoln can help. your business and everyone who counts on you. ♪ ♪ (volunteer) hey.

and if there is a genuine women's march, she should be leading edge, in my view. tammy, what is going on here? >> is more than just anti-semitism or hatred. there is also apparently a lot of anti-gay speech that has originated. that is not unusual. we got the left who traditionally does this, they co-opt important issues to a society they are invading. they co-opted and then they ride it to death. right now, the women's march clearly is not about women's issues at all. they are complaining about white nationalism, white men. it's about race, and it is really just a carcass now of what was a women's movement. this is what the left does. it's a warning. this is not an isolated incident. it's beginning to try to move into the democratic party, and that should be a warning to everyone that identity politics -- this is inevitably where it goes because in order

to be proud of your identity, your personal identity, you've got to be better or different from someone else. it invites the need for bigotry and for isolating the other individual who is unlike you. >> mark: you said they are not just anti-semitic, they are also anti-gay. louis farrakhan, one of his many fascinating statements was the jew is responsible for the feminizing of the black man. not that there is anything wrong with that, i don't think. but if there is, you don't want the jews to have a monopoly. i won't pretend to understand what he is getting at. the supporter, she refuses to back down. she is a great believer in sharia, so there is no reason she should have any particular issue in women's rights or gay rights, or anyone else's rights. >> this is a classic hijacking.

i saw this emerging when i was on the left 20, 25 years ago. i have a lot of respect for her, she is a retired lawyer, lives in hawaii. the power of the internet, started with a facebook page, which is fabulous. i disagree with her own all of her issues that she spouts on facebook, but i have a lot of respect for her to say this. she wants him to step down for saying this in the movement, but this will always happen if you are ready to push back. this is a virus that occurs in the american left, not only come about around the world. they want to divide, they want to disrupt, and that is how they are doing this with those. there is a lot of work that needs to be done. at least four normal liberals, this is the kind of thing that you must stand up against because otherwise, it is going to consume everything that matters to you. >> mark: using normal liberals. isn't it the case, tammy, at

some point there is a reckoning that the identity politics coalition is basically incoherent? you know that in parts of amsterdam and london, and those places have islamized, the gay bars close and move out. but at the end, you have to choose your identity politics. that shows where the energy is in the democratic party. >> identity politics is not a liberal position. liberalism is about allowing people to live the lives that best suits them. you can't do that identifying just based on an identity. it's got to be on ideas, inspiration, and values for a larger society and culture. that's the classic liberal framework. >> mark: that's like 50 years out of date for the democrats. >> it is, but it exists as the basis of liberals. i'm convinced of that, and you can still take your party back.

i want a loyal opposition to republicans, because it makes the country better and stronger, and as a result, conservatism will prevail because democrats won't be afraid of it, because they also want people to be free, and it takes money, and success, and the free market to be free. >> mark: fabulous. that is tammy's thanksgiving greetings to the u.s. democratic party. a speaker in my cranberry sauce. >> mark: tucker will be here after the break. he will talk to an arizona sheriff about mexico's role in the devastating heroin academic across america. that is next on "tucker carlson tonight." ordinary eggs? not in this house.

arizona sheriff about the threat of mexican heroin. his coverage. >> tucker: opioids are killing tens of thousands of americans every year. it's an epidemic. it's being driven in part by prescription drugs, but not only by prescription drugs. also heroin. more of it is being struggled into this country than ever before and almost all of that heroin is coming from mexico across our poorest southern border. matt thomas is the deputy chief of police in arizona, and he joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. this is something really discussed in washington, but the scale of opioid smuggling across the united states. >> we have seen a significant increase since 2014. it used to be that arizona, our southern borders, marijuana was the cash crop for the cartel, specifically, that is kind of the main cartel for our state. there was a significant shift

starting in 2014 where the marijuana smuggling started to decline and we started to see a significant increase in the smuggling of heroin, fennel, and methamphetamine. >> tucker: give us a sense, large amounts? it would drive the epidemic that is killing so many americans? >> especially, the drug that is the danger for anyone who is using it but our officers, as well. we have had several exposures in our state where officers have been exposed and they have gotten to have the narc into reverse the effects of they don't die of exposure. citizens, the same thing. they overdosed on and so it is much stronger than heroin.

we have the heroin problem but now we have the fentanyl problem because it is so dangerous, and we are seeing it. it is coming in the format of essentially fake pills. what the cartels are sending up our what are being sold as oxy, but it's fake. it's fentanyl, and it's more potent and more dangerous. >> tucker: we have seen video of drug tunnels coming into the united states. how common are those in your county? >> in our county, not common. we are off the board about 70 miles and the county is unique being that we are off the border 70 miles but it is open . that is what kind of makes us more like a border county, but for the border counties in the state, pima county, yuma county, very common because the cartel

is essentially the masterminds behind the tunnels and arizona being primarily run by the cartel, buried, deceit tunnels throughout our state. >> tucker: do you think washington, which is trying to respond to the opioid crisis that is killing so many people, do you think in washington lawmakers have a sense of where these drugs are coming from? >> i think they have a sense of where they are coming from. they would have to have their heads buried pretty deep in the sand to not have a sense of the after all these years. we kind of know where the source is, but i don't think they have a sense of the magnitude of what's coming across the border, how easy it is to get across the border, and how adversely it's affecting all of our communities, from the smallest rural community all the way to your metropolitan areas. it's having a very negative

effect, and it's kind of our fault on the american side. we are the consumers, we have kind of created this problem. it's a demand-driven thing. >> tucker: yeah, it would be nice to stop it. thank you very much for telling us that. appreciate it. >> >> absolutely. >> mark: mexican heroin, the caravan that never stops. our university is ordering students to avoid dangerous things like capital letters. the liberal sure but will explain next. ♪ the greatest wish of all... is one that brings us together. the lincoln wish list event is here. sign and drive off in a new lincoln with $0 down, $0 due at signing, and a complimentary first month's payment. only at your lincoln dealer.

>> no. i think what we do in the west now in the administrative state and the democracy of the university is we go after the misdemeanor that gives us a psychological sense we can do something, because we can't address the felony. in this case, we have students who are not prepared, they don't do well, so they say, perhaps we can solve the problem with capital or not capital letters. the pressing moment, it's kind of iconic. this generation in britain, their great-grandfathers were going over the trenches to save western civilization from the second reich, their grandfathers were falling out of split fires from the blitz to save us again from the third reich. at their fathers were helping to keep 300 soviet divisions out of europe and a 7,000 nuclear weapons that were pointed at european cities, and this generation at the same time and age in their lives are worried , and i guess worried about

unfriended on facebook. i spent my entire life in academia and we used to think british intellectual was the hallmark of the western world and whatever mistakes we make, we could look towards britain. this wasn't t.s. eliot and cs lewis, and the professors at oxford, and to think that they have fallen into the same sad political correctness that we have is really depressing, and may be too many people are going to college. you think that we are losing this generation in the west that is worried about capital letters, they are not having children, they are not getting married, they are not buying home, they are prolonging their adolescence. maybe they shouldn't be in university and they can be much better in noble professions like lemming and electricity that we really need, trade school. something has gone wrong in the university, and is not just pernicious to the student but it is starting to affect the entire society at large. >> mark: to take it seriously for a moment, if you are

seriously discombobulated by capital letters or applause, are you likely to do any of the things you just mentioned there, like a scramble over a trench, or get out of a jam and weighed the beaches of normandy. in other words, is this where the last generation of functioning civilization ends up? >> that's what i'm worried about. demographically, as you read about, we are not reproducing ourselves. we are not becoming adults in our 20s. those of the best years of our lives. we are not buying homes, starting businesses. we have the lives of pajama boy 20-somethings who try to take offense at everything and play professional victims. history hasn't stopped and there's a lot of people who don't like western civilization and we are existential enemies, and we need people to protect us. we have a few, in america we have these great soldiers who do it, but we are not getting guidance, we are not getting

courage, we are not getting independence and economy from the universities. it's really sad. we used to have that in both england and the united states. >> mark: you're right. then i suddenly changed. victor davis hansen, thank you. two turkeys. president trump has issued his turkey pardon. if you want to see how that one, that is coming up next. things . that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats moderate to severe plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla,75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be.
