9:00 pm
♪ ♪ >> good evening, welcome to tucker carlson tonight, i'm mark steyn, in for tucker, thanksgiving eve. he will be making a specialst appearance later in the show. but first, that's the migrant caravan looming on the u.s.-mexico border, 3,000 people are encamped in tijuana and the federal government says they could grow to a mass of 10,000 or more. a representative of the group angels without borders say the migrants are considering something truly unbelievable, a human stampede across the southern border of the united states. meanwhile, a new gallop poll shows that the percentage of
9:01 pm
americans who view immigration as the country's top issue is surging rapidly. 21% of americans say immigration is the top issue. compared to 13% just a month ago. chris kovak is secretary of state for kansas, joins us now. what exactly is the difference between what they're planning, a human stampede, and what we used to call in the old days an invasion? [chuckling] >> not a heck of a lot of difference. it is a massive influx of a people. one of the things we need to consider is something that congress wisely put in federal law in 1996, it's not too often you use the word wisely talking about congress. but they actually planned ahead. they said in federal state out, if there is a mass influx of aliens at our border the president has the authority, the secretary of homeland security has the authority to call up
9:02 pm
state and local police to help repel this invasion, or this influx. and right now, that's necessary. i.c.e. agents and border patrol agents i have spoken to say they're overwhelmed, they don't have the manpower and they need it and need it quick. >> you make the point that doesn't mean they can deputize local police departments in southern california, whose political bosses may not be keen on them enforcing federalfo immigration law. >> right. >> in theory, he can, the president actually has the authority to deputize sheriff deputees from maine and new hampshire to act on the southern border. a >> exactly right. and this ties in with the point in the introduction, mark, it is an issue of very high concern. the top issue for so many americans. i guarantee, if president trump made a national appeal to sheriffs departments across the country, can you come help us,
9:03 pm
we need the manpower, we'll reimburse your deputies for their time, can you help to us repel in mass influx of peopleou planning to rush our border, i guarantee there would be hundreds of sheriffs departments saying we'll help. the time is now to use this power that has been given to the executive branch. >> now, this is thanksgiving, chris. and we live in a weird time. we're told the country is on orange alert. takes you hours if you're just flying home to see your grandmother to get through the airport. transport security administration has rules on the density of your pumpkin pie. if it's too moist it counts as a liquid, it has to be part of your checked baggage. that's what lawful americans who are residing in this countryed entirely legally to have put up with. but at the same time, as they're on orange alert, people can j
9:04 pm
apparently just walk across the border with impunity. at some point, the public will get sick of the obvious contradiction in that, won't they?ub >> you know, mark, i think they're sick of the contradiction. you put it well. this group offing my grants at the southern border, in the tijuana area, they are by all accounts just a general mix of illegal aliens. they are not a mass of people who are fleeing oppression and they are particular candidates for asylum. they'll find out that these -- waiting for the asylum adjudication is going to be a wait in vain. the vast majority, maybe 90%, will be denied. at some point word will get out, you know what, we're not going to get asylum, maybe we'll dode what we were planning on anyway, sneaking across the border oras rushing the border. where we need more manpower. they are undermanned on our side of the border.wh >> the other point you make, everyone uses these cliches, we need comprehensive immigration reform, there are more immigration laws than any
9:05 pm
functioning society would need. there's actually more immigration law than immigration officers and border posts can understand.. they know very little have it themselves. because it's too much of it. it's the fact that there's not the political will to enforce the immigration laws, is the issue. >> yes, that's it.he we hear this copout, the immigration laws are broken.'s no, they're not broken. if you read them, congress over the many decades that we have had the laws has inserted a lot of really good provisions if we have the will to actually use them, we could reinforce our rule of law. >> that's a good point, chris, happy thanksgiving to you, thank you very much. >> you, too. >> president trump is in a spat with the chief justice of the supreme court today. yesterday, the president blasted the perceived political motivations of a federal judge who blocked new rules on asylumb seekers from being implemented.
9:06 pm
>> this was an obama judge. >>: i'll tell you, it's not going to happen like this any more. t' well, the 79's remarks provoked a surprise rebuke from chief justice john roberts, whoo said in a statement, quote, we do not have obama judges or trump judges, bush judges or clinton judges. what we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal rights to those appearing before them. that independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for. the president hit back on twitter, saying, quote, sorryre chief justice john roberts you have obama judges and they have a much different point of view than those charged with theju safety of our country. it would be great if the ninth circuit was an independent judiciary. but if it is why are so many opposing views on border and safety cases filed there. and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. please study the numbers,
9:07 pm
they're shocking. we need protection and security, these rulings are making our country unsafe, very dangerous, and unwise. jonathan turley is professor at george washington university law school, he joins us. professor, to take the chief justice's point at face value, if you want to make a points, the judges are above politics, why would the nation's chief judge essentially intervene in a provocative political manner the way that john roberts whose? >> mark, this is a very uncommon thing, unheard of in modern times. he has basically held his tongue for two years.s. but he is the senior, you know, member of the judiciary. and i felt that great sympathy toward him when he reacted today the way he did.
9:08 pm
he feels that his mandate is to stand up for the judiciary. i don't think that the president was fair about his criticism. the decision that he was referencing what i've come up the same way, in my view, for both republican and democratic nominees. john roberts himself voted to reserve the individual mandate t of obamacare. i disagreed with his decision there. i thought the reasoning was wrong. but i understood he was following when he thought was the dictates of the law, not the person who nominated him. where i probably would criticize the chief justice, i wish that he was more active in policing the court itself. justice ginsburg, the late justice scalia, both were criticized for political or unwise statements made in commentary chief justice has not beene proactive. >> isn't the president making more of a basic point here, which is that you have democrats
9:09 pm
and republicans and they slog it out out at election time, one or other party wins. we're increasingly at a time where instead, who ever wins, we have government by judges, in which judges essentially are microlegislating aspects of particular policies. in a way that would have been unrecognizable to judges and politicians of the late 18th century. >> mark, i have criticized the ninth circuit for some of the decisions that they have handed down against the administration. but i've never questioned the motivations of those judges. now, in fairness to president trump there is a difference in philosophy between a trump appointee and probably obama appointee. they will at some point disagree on a philosophical basis, how to view the constitution. the vast majority of cases there isn't that much disagreement. most cases are unanimous,t despite who people were
9:10 pm
appointed. i think what chief justice roberts was trying to say is that it's unfair to this judiciary and we're -- we are blessed with a wonderful judiciary. because people really do try to get things right. these are decent people, trying to come to the right decision. people like me disagree with them on the side lines. but i don't think that it's because of ideology. it is because of philosophical view of how to interpret the constitution. >> we'll take that up about the blessings of the judiciary at another time. thank you, professor, happyll thanksgiving. they say ivanka private e-mail use is no different than hillary clinton, does that hold up that's coming up next. plus, tucker will be here to discuss a new book ridiculing the big tech oligarchs of silicon valley and an american traveler is dead after encountering the hostile natives of a mysteriousac island.

9:15 pm
hillary clinton and her private server. the president says there's no comparison. >> president trump: ivanka can handle herself. these are all in the historical records, there was no deletion whatsoever, unlike hillary clinton who deleted 33,000 e-mails. unlike hillary clinton who had a server in the basement, ivanka didn't.. this is just early on, when she came in.n. these calls were not classified, unlike hillary clinton's calls, which were classified. and it's all fake news. >> mark: the president before his thanksgiving break. brian dean wright is a democrat and former cia officer.an brian, we have caught houses legislating and legislators holding trial. is this the best use for congress? >> oh, we have two years of t this, brother. i hope we're all ready. the short answer is no, there's a small degree of oversight that is critical, to the senate and the house.
9:16 pm
whether it's looking into the hillary clinton foundation, bill and hillary clinton foundation, the shenanigans, let the department of justice wrap it up. make sure she didn't send anything classified. but how many people really care> about ivanka's e-mails absent classified information? i'll say none. i'm in northern indiana, the people in fort wayne, places like huntington, aren't concerned with ivanka's e-mails. it's not the right way to govern, because they're not interested in all of that silliness. what do they want, they want congress to focus on the stuff they're supposed to focus on. jobs, health care. those are the things that america cares about. >> mark: you aren't going to geu anywhere on that, are you, the energy in the new democrat congress is for, well for a start there is a lot of people who want to impeach the president. and if they can't impeach the president, they at least would
9:17 pm
like to ensnare those around him such as members of his family, and tedious investigations, for a couple of years. >> sure, we've seen this, the 20-plus years, what has america experienced? one side trying to mess over the other with the hope they can gain greater power in the nextin election. and i think what you have seen certainly in 2016, the degree in the last few weeks, people walking in to the voting booth, and using their middle finger to vote and saying enough. let's get back to the business of governing. and i think most people are so us from freighted about the back and forth of not solving problems. huntington, give you a great example, the carrier company shut down and laid off a bunch of folks r they caring about ivanka's e-mails? no, they're not. they want to solve this as global trade issue, where things get shipped off to mexico or china. that's the stuff that people care about. good healthcare.
9:18 pm
so if people don't get the results they want, either from the last election with democrats winning or president trump and his promises of 2016, parties are going to pay for it, somebody has to pay for it. you watch, they will. >> mark: is there a serious structural problem here, the democrats particularly, but you could make points about both sides on this. in effect, the criminalizationon of politics. you have a particular approach to immigration, or healthcare, or whatever it is, it's not just that you have a public policy difference. it's that in some sense are you a criminal and you have to be investigated.. >> right. well, when you see the other side as evil, that's when you start getting this investigative junk. and so we have to change that with our own hearts. definitely when we go to the voting booth, we have to forward prospect of folks in the political system who are more interested in solving problems
9:19 pm
and not seeing the other side as evil. that's what it comes down to.ot >> mark: okay, brian, we'll see if they take you at your word, have a good thanksgiving. the press says the election fraud never happened, but the facts keep contradicting them. prosecutors in los angeles have charged nine people with a scheme where they allegedly bribed homeless people with cash and cigarettes in return for forging signatures on voter registration forms and ballot measure petitions. we have a board member of the national lawyers association, she joins us. harmy, this is the fraud the democrats assure us doesn't exist. and yet here it comes, again. >> right, mark. this is the tip of the iceberg, in fact, these people arrested are part of a ring of peoplein doing this over the last two election cycles. and it's particularly cynical ploy. the signature gatherers, the people here, they can get up to $12 a signature for a signature on petitions, what was happening
9:20 pm
here. and yet they're paying these poor bums on skid row a buck or cigarette, in order to get them to forge signatures. if you see this arrest happening in l.a. county, liberal county, know it's happening all over the state of california. it is one of many examples i could give you of voter fraud happening in california. >> mark: well there are amazing examples, 75 people reg stored vote at a nonexistent address in malibu. 31 people registered at a check cashing store in south side l.a. 10 people registered to vote at a miniature -- mini golf course. i'm in favor of the mini golf course.a every bit, folks you have to be living at a miniature golf course in san diego. >> maybe miniature people, i don't know. >> mark: right, miniature voters in miniature polling booths with miniature dangling chads, dimpled chads and the rest of it. what is the big picture?
9:21 pm
we have a bad -- you know, we're getting a reputation for jimmy carter and the u.n. observers having to come in and supervise these elections. what is the systemic corruption, where is that coming from? >> let me give you one more figure in addition to theti ones you mention. inthe year 2016 to 2017, california, almost half a million people called for jury duty said they were not united states dash jury duty say they were not united states citizens. those rolls come from voter registrations. this is massive fraud, democratic secretaries of state who have no interest in purging the roles contribute. in some states like georgia, secretary of state purging the roles, you have better outcomes despite what the gubernatorial candidate said. what republicans need to do in the next election cycle is be vigilant. all americans should be vigilant because in any state people
9:22 pm
voting who don't have a right to, people signing papers they don't have a right to, dilute the vote of every citizen, a very fundamental right. i'm an immigrant myself, mark and to me what this is one of those most precious rights of our democracy. we need to safeguard it. >> mark: you use the word vigilance, when people try tod exercise vigilance at polling stations and in elections, the democrats say they're race racist and they're trying to suppress the vote. right.re absolutely >> mark: this is racism according to them. >> when we have tried on do voter integrity efforts in the republican party we have been sued by the democrats and put on the sides lines the rnc. a significant issue. we have a department of justice and we do control the executive branch, the department of justice has an election division. they should actually be taking a look at this issue and bringing some federal indictments. skid row, this is one incident, if you scratch the surface you will find a lot more, it's huge. >> mark: selling the votes to the homeless for $12 a pop and

group described online as the most dangerous tribe in the world. t he escaped the first time, swam back to the fishermen. but he apparently returned the next day and the fishermen saw the tribesmen dragging his bodyh along the beach.g officials from india check on the locals from time to time, usually with a military helicopter.al that happened, you see here, after the indian ocean tsunami in '04. even then, members of the tribe reportedly fired arrows at the helicopter when they thought it got too close to them. tonight the state department has not officially confirmed the death of john. he's been reported as being either 26 or 27. they're simply saying they're aware of the reports and working with local authorities to get to the bottom of it.o interesting, these local people are protected under indian law. and basically, any contact with them is considered illegal because of the risk of disease. getting justice for this american's death could get complicated from a diplomatic standpoint..ma >> mark: basically the least

9:30 pm
saudi arabia. >> the president continued down that path tweeting, quote, oil prices getting lower, great. like a big tax cut for america and the world. enjoy, $54 was just $82. thank you to saudi arabia but let's go lower. nigel is a former leader of the u.k. independent evens party and the driving force behind brexit, joining us from london. the saudis, even though the highest level of leadership in the country was implicated in the murder, appear to have gotten away with it as far as the world is concerned. >> yeah, that's right. i do understand, for those in the usa and the uk, saudi arabia is a very important market to us. hundreds of thousands of jobs linked. with selling airplanes, munitions. i also get the strategic alliance with saudi arabia against iran, you know, who have been trying to spread a very extreme form of islamism right
9:31 pm
across the region. i understand the reasons for it. but imagine if any other countra behaved like this. if russia had behaved like this, there would be a much bigger international outcry. my real problem, mark, is that in the wake of the syrian crisis, saudi arabia did notma take a single refugee or displaced person. but were happy to fund the building 2600 mosques in germany. what we have seen. what we have seen, is it's being spread using saudi money. fine, let's go on doing trade, let goes on having strategic alliances, but don't be frightened to be critical of the things they do. >> mark: saudi arabia's principal export isn't oil, it is ideology. the oil enables them to spread that ideology around the world.
