the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. don't miss our special coverage from there. we will see you back here in new york monday night. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." just in case you were wondering whether the president was serious about the border crisis. last night he delivered a decisive answer. a surprise move the white house announced that unless mexico halts the flow of illegal immigrants into the united states, the u.s. will, starting on june 10th, impose a 5% tariff on all imports from that country. if the situation doesn't improve going forward, the tariff will rise by 5% a month every month. by october there will be 25% tariff on all goods coming from mexico from after avocadoso automobiles. let's be honest about what that would mean. the u.s. imports

$372 billion worth of good from mexico every year. the prices on all of those goods would likely go up, consumers would feel that so would businesses. critics claim that the tariffs would slow the u.s. economy and they are likely right. over time they probably would. but we ought to impose them anyway. not every government policy is a pure economic calculation. the united states is attacked by as who till foreign power. it must strike back and make no mistake mexico is a hostile foreign power. for decades the mexican government has sent its poor north to our country. this has allow that country's criminal oligarchy to maintain power and get even richer but at great expense to us. in the united states damaged our communities, ruined our schools, burdened our heck system and fractured our national unity. it has suppressed wages for our most vulnerable. it has been a slow motion attack on this country and its effects have been deficit stating. there is not a lot of

redebate you will admit it. but our leaders are not honest. in the hours after the president's announcement, they instinctively sided with mexico. >> well, tariff man is back. the president is threatening a new country with new tariffs this time mexico. >> it sounds very strong but whom will it squeeze? us? or mexico? >> no mistake about it. the u.s. consumers will bear the brunt of these tariffs. >> whether it's a negotiating tactic or an attempt to distract, it still surprised everyone. >> nothing short of a political stunt. >> so, you know, i don't know, maybe it was changing the subject from mueller. i can't figure it out. >> john kasich can't figure it out. it's too complicated for him. the line of the week, the award for the most disingenuous response from a world leader has to go to the mexican president lopez eobrador: social problems

are not resolved with taxes or co-erive measures -- coercive solution. he went on to lecture u.s. president because of america's national values because the president of mexico is just that arrogant and presumptuous to do that goat the statue of liberty is not an empty symbol. well, mexico's corrupt ruling class believes it is america's duty to absorb their country's problems forever. the american left agrees. they are as contemptuous of america as the presiden. thank you for coming on. >> good evening, tucker. >> what specifically do you anticipate the mexican government will do in response? what would you like them to do in response to this threat? >> give you a little background and answer that quickly. you are right, many, many years of abuse mexican

government undocumented alien. we have a situation now where at any one time there is about 100,000 illegal aliens moving along a can vary belt from the southern border of mexico to our border. this conveyor belt is supported by a transnational criminal organization that provides the buses, the trucks, the trains, at the choke point, excuse me, the checkpoints where these things are supposed to be interdicted, the trucks and things. we have corruption. wednesday was a red line. on wednesday we had over 1,000 illegal aliens as a beginning gel single group

from juarez to el paso families and unaccompanied children. this is a crisis. the authority being used is the -- called the international emergency powers act. two things. there has to be a national emergency. check that box. has to be a threat to our national security, foreign policy, or economy, check all three of those boxes. here's what we want, tucker. here is the answer to your question. we want mexico to do three things. the southern border where the illegal aliens are crossing is in guatemala. it's only 150 miles across. 2,000-mile burden. it's characterized by numerous choke points that are easily to choke off. we want the mexican government choke those choke points. number two, they have to put an end to this conveyor belt in the transnational criminal organizations that are making billions of dollars off the american public and off the poor people that are being

exploited by them. and, thirdly, they have to -- the mexican government has to cooperate on this whole issue of asylum. the mexican government should take those folks and hold them there on mexican soil. that would put an end to what is essentially a strategic gaming of the asylum system. we know most of these illegal aliens coming are only using that as an excuse to evade what little laws we have. >> tucker: do you anticipate the mexican government will do this immediately by june 10th i think is the deadline according to the president's statement last night. will they do this? >> i'm sure they will immediately engage with our side. we're not trying to punish mexico in any sense. we want them to solve the problem. the metric as chief of staff mulvaney said last night the numbers coming in go down dramatically. that is what we are looking for. and, to the point as to who pays for the tariffs, the tariffs weren't going to

hurt mexico. they would have no inclination to come to the bargaining table. just that the tariffs didn't hurt china, they wouldn't be negotiating with us. >> tucker: of course. >> the fact of the matter is mexico is going to pay those tariffs mexican corporations send us products. we will see lower prices, lower profits. and less investment. weave will see more investment come here to the u.s. to locate on the domestic soil. yes, i think the mexicans will respond to this because it's going to cost them dearly. remember, this crisis is costing us dearly now. all we are seek something fairness, tucker. >> tucker: peter navarro from the white house tonight. thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> tucker: austan goolsbee chaired economics council under president obama. he is also a professor at the university of chicago. he joining us now. mr. goolsbee, thank you very much for coming on. >> hey, tucker, good to see you again. >> tucker: thank you. good to see you again. easy to see how this could end up slowing the u.s.

economy. they are a huge trading partner with the united states and tariffs tend to do it. that's not really the question. the question is it worth it? is this a crisis sufficient that we need to act in our own defense? and so i would ask you, do you think illegal immigration is a crisis in this country? >> well, the first part of your question does not make logical sense to me and maybe you could explain it to me better. which is if you take an action which hurts yourself, how is that getting something done on your behalf? >> tucker: it's very simple if the united states is attacked as it has been occasionally over time on 9/11 for example or pearl harbor. >> shooting oneself is not -- >> tucker: no, the response costs money. of course there is a great economic cost to war, right, to actual hot wars. there is always an economic cost to the response. your sovereignty and long-term interest sometimes demand it. >> yeah, okay. >> tucker: is the crisis profound enough to justify

it? is it a crisis? >> number one is about what -- how large do i view the crisis of immigration is? i view the issue of illegal immigration in the united states to be a serious problem. not a crisis. i view that the action taken by the trump administration pretty clearly violates the law and you saw peter navarro there trying to rationalize something that has never been done. we have never used the emergencies act to go around the clear statement in article 1 of the constitution that says tariff policy in the united states is determined by congress not the president. and i think that's a bad precedent to set. and, on top of that the major losers in this action are u.s. manufacturers who are buying their parts at distress from their own plants in mexico. >> tucker: sure. >> and the u.s. consumer. >> tucker: i conceded in the

outset both in my script and in this conversation i'm not a liar. so i will say that. >> i know you are not a limplet. >> tucker: hold on you said. >> that was my third points. >> tucker: sir, hold on. how many illegal aliens are there in the united states? >> the estimates are about 6.6 million down over the last four years. >> tucker: there is no estimate that says 6.6 million illegals in the united states. the most recent estimate is 20 million. >> actually there is from pugh research. >> tucker: no. i don't believe -- with respect, i think i don't know where you got that number. i think you are wrong on that. i don't believe that's true. but i appreciate you coming on tonight, professor, thank you. >> good to see you tonight. >> tucker: elizabeth warren's presidential campaign took another blow as a radio show host compared her to race fakeer rachel after the break.

we're the slowskys.

we like drip coffee, layovers- -and waiting on hold. what we don't like is relying on fancy technology for help. snail mail! we were invited to a y2k party... uh, didn't that happen, like, 20 years ago?

oh, look, karolyn, we've got a mathematician on our hands! check it out! now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not. >> tucker: elizabeth warren hopes that releasing a d.n.a. test would silence her critics and save her presidential campaign. instead it appeared to backfired. warren's phony heritage is a mill stone holding her career down in a radio appearance today on the breakfast club how is warren really any different from phony black woman rachel dolezal? >> was there any benefit to that? >> no. "boston globe" did a full investigation. it never affected, nothing about my family ever affected any job i ever got. >> you didn't get a discount on college? >> kind of like the original

rachel dolezal a white woman pretending to be black? >> this is what i learned from my family. >> yeah? >> yeah. >> ouch. lahr elder radio host. really good question. somehow this different from rachel dolezal? >> well, i don't think the comparison is well-taken if you assume as i do that elizabeth warren believes sincerely believed, tucker that she was native american. think about it. what brain dead person is going to demand to take a d.n.a. test when she knows full well she has been lying and the parallel is when a guilty person for example demands to take a polygraph knowing full well he did it. he thinks he can beat the test which why is the polygraph are not admissible. how do you beat a d.n.a. test. i believe she didn't believe she was american and embarrassed she needed to talk to her parents about having mislead her. >> that's such a great point. actually. the part that i can't get past though. >> that's why i'm here, tucker. >> the falseness of

pretending it didn't help her. she was listed in the harvard law school director as a native american. >> that's right. >> they bragged about her as the first law professor of color, i guess. even though she is paler than i am. for her to say "boston globe" ridiculous fake newspaper they somehow proved i didn't benefit from this it's a lie. >> i agree. harvard bragged about the fact i believe first native american faculty member for her to be hired. she clearly benefited. who knows how many speeches she got as a result of the assumption she is native american. no question she benefit you had. again, i believe she sincerely thought she was in fact native american. >> tucker: wouldn't she have a better answer since it is the most famous fact about her at this point when she is asked by a radio host she didn't have a lot to say. >> she probably should have said what i just now said. that is to say that my parents told me i was native personal who going to call their parents a liar. ened a think she wanted to believe it.

she sympathized with the plight of native americans and cause celeb being associated with native americans. all of that probably went on. she should have said i was wrong, i was dead wrong otherwise i wouldn't have taken a d.n.a. test. >> tucker: it's funny. she'll didn't grow up on a reservation and speak any indigenous language she grew up like what she is conventional white american woman and in what sense would she identify -- in other words, like a d.n.a. test doesn't really speak to your actual experience. kind of irrelevant, isn't it. >> it is irrelevant. she also apologized to the cherokee nation for suggesting that the d.n.a. test would confirm that she was in fact native personal. again, but i don't believe that's the number one reason she is doing so badly in the polls. perceived to be somebody not very exciting. have you heard her speeches? they put to you sleep. as far as her view she's is as radical from the next

one. how does she distinguish herself from the next one. >> tucker: she is nasy too. she shouldn't be but she is nasty. it's true. thank you. >> you too. >> tucker: last couple years have you seen a campaign to tear down many of this country's greatest heros. latest victim could be martin luther king. prize winning big of king. describes newly released fbi documents which summarize secret recordings the fbi once made of king. the recordings allegedly reveal extensive extramarital affairs dozens and dozens of them one episode where king looked on and laughed while one of his companions raped a woman. should we reassess our view of martin luther king? jason is from the university of maryland he joins us tonight. professor, thanks for coming on. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: i will take a different position maybe tonight from what you might expect. we have seen a whole bunch of different heroes in american dethroned and in

some cases literally statues knocked over thomas jefferson great example. does this, i'm assuming all of this is true because we knew some of it before. should it really change how we view martin luther king in his role in american history? should we knock his statues down because of this? i don't think we should. >> again, tucker. i think you would be making a mistake to make the assumption this is true. david garo, as a matter of fact, all of his articles, you know, we tried to write this for many publications, including the guard on, the atlantic, "the washington post," they all rejected it because the evidence wasn't solid. mainly because of the fact that he hadn't heard the fbi tapes. he didn't have access to them. he was going off fbi memos and these are memos from probe who we know was not trust worry and wanted to destroy dr. king. >> tucker: by the way i'm happy to hear that i respect dr. king and i don't want to there these things are true.

we often learn that people we revere for their role in history are deeply flawed. and there is actual evidence that king was deeply flawed and was a philanderer. i think we can say that. >> i think having extramarital affairs is very different than watching someone be raped. >> tucker: i agree with that completely. i'm just saying should we define -- i just think the principle is worth standing up for. should we define a man's life by his worst moments or should we take three stepping back and assess his place in the sweep of history and i'm making the case on behalf of thomas jefferson as well as martin luther king? county standard apply to both of them? >> yeah, well, so with dr. king, i will say this. i believe that we should not tear down all of his statues. >> tucker: all of his statues, okay. >> but, i think one of the things about dr. king, as great as he was and he is one of my personal heroes one of the things about him is a lot of times his image

obscured some other people in the civil rights movement and i would say actually the most important person to the civil rights movement was not dr. king it was ella baker. i think if anything if you want to change some things, if some people in a particular community are not comfortable with dr. king's image, then they should put up other civil rights heroes, particularly local civil rights heroes. >> tucker: okay. >> we have a martin luther king boulevard in every city in america and why not have, you know, an ella baker. >> tucker: i think that's totally fair. i just want to end on this. so, when your kids get to high school, they will learn the most important thing about thomas jefferson is he may have fathered a child with sally helpings. they say he did. don't actually know that. >> pretty sure. >> tucker: maybe. hard to know hundreds of years later. okay. they will say that but they will kind of leave out the fact that he crated the united states. should your kids also learn

that the most important thing about martin luther king is that he had a weird personal life? i don't think they should. >> no. >> tucker: that's vandalism, isn't it? >> i 100 percent agree that we need to learn everything about even if we are talking about thomas jefferson some of the good things that he did in creating our republic and some of the bad things. the thing is we can't leave out the things that he did wrong and i think, you know, one of the things that we need to understand is who our founders were. and some of the ideals. and that way we can create a more perfect union. i certainly believe that we should learn about the good things and also not leave out the bad things. political figures have started their lives. >> tucker: professor, great to see you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: meryl streep is not the person you would imagine would be picking a fight with feminist but she just did. she questions a central tenet of person who

feminism. what did she say? we will tell you after the break. i've been diagnosed with

even in the presidential election. where 2020 candidates like eric swalwell who has been on your show, i believe, or cory booker my senator from new jersey have said i will have a female on my ticket. it doesn't matter if that person has the same world view. doesn't matter if that persocomplements me i will havea woman on my ticket well, because, that's how men are now these days. they have to placate to certain things and not be men and, look, i talked to a woman in this business, highly successful, right from your green room before i went on what do you think of toxic masculinity and she is an entrepreneur. i love manly man. i want a man to be man. i would like a man to protect me. if there is a spider i want him killing the spider i don't want him cowering in the corner. they have built in tests to at reason that doesn't mean violence that means fantasy football. god created men and women to behave differently for a reason. that comes from somebody who we both know.

a young boy at home to be told that one day you could be a sexual harasser or a date rapist or you will oppress women based on your gender i feel sorry for my son and people growing up in this environment being told that you are going to be this kind of person. it's horrible. >> tucker: attacking people for who they are inherently are is wrong. >> it is wrong. you are in new york. you should be coming to the city more often. if you go clubbing toingts which i have a feeling you will. you want to go to hunk a bunka. you will never forget. >> tucker: open mic. >> altively. >> you will be banned if you don't v. views facebook and twitter don't like. twitter actually makes people dumber and twitter isn't the only threat to your intelligence or well-being. the who world health organization secreted to voted to classify video

fact routine and the government is now being systematic in investigating the question of ufos. a new history channel documentary called unidentified will explore the military's many recent encounters with unidentified aircraft. >> object the navy pilot is tracking suddenly seems to get bigger. the object then appears to accelerate rapidly, disappearing off screen. >> that's a significant rate of acceleration in a horizontal plane off to the left. that's very fast. >> the object appears to perform a similar maneuver to what the pilots witnessed. instantaneous acceleration at this rate would produce a force of gravity or g force so extreme it would crush a human being. >> tucker: the former military intelligence official and special agent in charge he joins us tonight. louise, thanks very much for coming on. >> thank you, tucker for having me.

>> tucker: the military has decided to stop lying about this. the first question is why did they lie for some years about what they knew? >> that's a fair question, tucker. there could be put mel answers. i thin -- multiple answer. we didn't have the technology we do now. we didn't have the technology on some of the most sophisticate you had weapon systems that give us the fidelity that we need to better ascertain what these things are. another answer could possibly be frankly stigma and taboo and that this is a topic that is fraught with these land mines potential, you know, if you will proverbial land mines. >> yeah, i mean we sent a man to the moon 50 years ago. we have had technology for a while and in fact it's been more than 60 years that -- since right after the second world war that the u.s. military has been down playing these reports. so, over the course of that time, some of the smartest, most dedicated people in our country watching these unexplained aerial phenomenon they must have gathered quite a bit of information about ufos.

what have they learned do you think in all of these decades? >> tucker, can i only answer from the time i was with atif for 18 years when i was part of that program. we learned a lookout. probably the most significant part of the program were five observables. have you already mentioned a few of them on your show. that's instantaneous acceleration. hypersonic velocities. a bit of an oxymoron low observability. travel and positive lift vernacular antigravity. >> tucker: there have been enough sightings over a long enough period the idea this is a computer glitch that these are generate you had somehow by radar systems, that can't be right, correct? >> tucker, we are well beyond right now establishing whether or not these things exist it. is an absolute fact. they are there. now, what they are, where they are from, who is behind the wheel, we simply don't

know. is it possible these things are a foreign adversarial technology that somehow was developed in secret and we are just now trying to figure these things out? it's possible. but, there is also other possibilities as well of what these things could be. >> tucker: right. i mean, that would be the terrestrial explanation. assign a likelihood of that being the case? >> boy, tucker, you don't want me to give my opinion. the one thing i learned in intelligence, you can be absolutely sure of something and be absolutely wrong. >> tucker: of course. it's happened to me many times. it sounds, i guess, just as sort to put a bow on it. >> a low probability. >> tucker: that's it? >> very low probability. look, we have the most sophisticated weapon systems right now on the face of the planet. we can identify not only a 737 or a meg 25 or f-22 we can tell you even what airline it is. and the difference between the models of aircraft within that type of aircraft. so, i think it's highly unlikely that a foreign

adversary was successful in developing something like this. >> tucker: let me ask you one last question. do you believe, based on your decade of serving in the u.s. government on this question that the u.s. government has in its possession any material from one of these aircrafts? >> i do. yes. >> tucker: do you think the u.s. government has debris from a ufo in its possession right now? >> unfortunately, tucker, i really have to be careful of my nda. i can't go into more detail than that. >> tucker: okay. >> but simply put, yes. >> tucker: all right. well, we have a lot more to find out. and i'm glad very much -- very glad you came on our show tonight. i hope you come back. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: thank you. >> yes, sir. >> tucker: full-time for dan bongino news explosion he will be ranking top three stories of the week in a moment. there is a new fake scandal involving the internet's greatest insight barstool sports. the founder joins us in just

we stay to what we do. we continue to get bigger. we continue to get stronger and all these people the faces change but they have freelance jobs because you don't win by just complaining about everything. if i complained as much as they did, i would drown in my own tears. i just move on. and then they -- another thing they will do they will say people are saying mean things to us on twitter. you called me a nazi and people who like me are like that's mean you shouldn't do that guess what? i get the meanest things ever said about me i'm sure do you, too. >> tucker: i have, yeah. >> if i sat and worried and complained and said oh me, me, me. you are complaining about me i would get nothing done. these people what do they do with their lives. one lady, one reporter who wrote a horrible article about us. she said oh i'm getting attacked by the barstool people see this is what they do. do you know how many tweets she had five? we have millions and millions and followers. five people said you wrote a bad article you? are going to cry about that? what do you expect? >> tucker: she attacks you but she is the victim. >> correct.

that's what they all do. there is no way around it. we are a big popular organization. we have loyal rabid fans which have been following us for 15 years. know our true culture. know what we stand about. if you say i'm a scum bag they take that as a personal offense. it's bananas. they tweet it in public. it's a public forum that they say they hate me and then if someone says guess what you? are the scum bag they cry oh poor me, poor me. just shut up. worry about yourself. you don't have to worry about us. if you don't like the towel, don't pick it up. don't pick it up. it's that simple. this is a sales deal. the bruins have been sponsored by banks, huge organizations. do you think that there is not bad stuff? this story i will tell quick. one guy who wrote and this is a true story, tucker a guy from st. louis wrote a story how the bruins should be ashamed he was arrested for robbing a bank. is he a bank robber. [laughter] >> this guy is a legitimate bank robber. >> tucker: no fun community, pc community and bank robber. we like you a lot. dave, barstool sports and

sexist towel. good to see you. [laughter] you may have heard jeopardy host alex trebek is battling cancer. in a interview with people magazine fight is going well maybe even in remission soon credit it to a couple million people good thoughts and energy directed toward me and their prayers. you wouldn't know that if you watched msnbc. edited out twice trebek's references to prayer that's scary. instead they implied he was getting better from good thoughts. prayers are terrifying and nbc is protecting from you hearing about them. >> tucker: it's friday that means it's time for dan bongino's news explosion. our favorite former new york city cop and secret service agent joins us to rank his top stories of the week. dan bongino himself joins us now. hey, dan. >> tucker, always good to see you. i have a bonus story for you. we have four stories this week. so, yes.

yes. and in the interest of time let me get right to it. first story. the "new york times" is clamping down on their reporters going on msnbc and cnn. how bad of a conspiracy theorist network do you have to be to have the "new york times" tell their reporters you may not want to go over there anymore? kind of an issue. >> tucker: if you are not credible enough for the "new york times," you have lost it. >> i read that. it's kind of hard i had to read it twice to make sure it wasn't a story at the onion. all right. story number 3. this one is a classic. i hope i can get through it with a straight face. hillary clinton, with absolutely no sense of irony whatsoever,. [laughter] is going to headline a cyber security conference. >> tucker: not really. >> yes, really. now, is this like an anti

ted talks? when they learn how it do something? this is anti-ted talk. where she tells you everything not to do in the interest of cyber security. >> tucker: so smart. unbelievable. >> i can't believe that's going to happen. >> tucker: keep your server in a closet. perfect. >> exactly. digest that one over the weekend, folks. that's a great one. all right, folks. story number two. president trump, he has had enough of the illegal immigration problem at the southern border. very serious. become an obvious national security issue at this point. he decided to launch tariffs against mexico. listener. they can stop this tomorrow, tucker, if the rinos up there on the hill and democrats get together and actually build a wall and do something about the immigration problem, i'm sure the president would be willing to negotiate but they don't want to do anything, so, he is forced to do that. so, that's going to be big news. >> tucker: is that little weird though do you think can i pause on that one and ask you if you are a democratic member of congress, do you feel strange taking the side of the criminal oligarchy that runs mexico over your own

country? >> no, because this is a pure power play by the democrats. you know, what they are losing and working class votes, tucker. they think they can make up by open borders policy. it's always been a power play. has nothing to do with immigration. i know you know that and amongst the business class either. it's a pure financial play. it has nothing to do with the rule of law or anything like that. i wish it did. but you and i are on the right side of the argument there story number one, the biggest story of the week, bob mueller for some bizarre reason comes tout give a press conference to say, listen, i don't really have anything to say. my report speaks for itself. so let me go on and say what i don't have to say. it kind of reminds me of that scene in gi jane where the commanders of the base says people who don't want to make statements don't make staples about not making statements. what was that? not only that, one last thing and i will wrap. this he invested a new legal standard, tucker. not not guilty is apparently the new legal standard in the united states.

let's impugn everybody's character with a not not guilty standard when we decide not to charge. >> tucker: not just impugn their character if you are not not guilty that means you should be punished by the congress. >> there is no question he insinuated that. and i just don't get it how even liberals don't speak out and say hey, listen, this was just wrong. they had a big beef with it when it happened to hillary clinton and jim comey after the press conference. when it happens to donald trump all of the sudden the left is hands off and they celebrate it. unbelievable. >> tucker: a lot there. dan bongino great to see you. have the best weekend. >> hey, you too, buddy. good to talk to you. >> tucker: that's it for us for tonight and the week. we will be back monday 8:00 p.m. the show is that true sworn enemy of lying pomposity, anything smz and group think. have a happy weekend with the ones you love. good night from new york city. sean hannity is next. ♪
