be watching. thank you, congressman. >> thank you, it will be a lot of fun. appreciate the interest, and god bless america. >> martha: thank you, sir. that is of the story on a baseball and debate night. we will be back tomorrow at 7:00. tucker is next. ♪ >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," we are coming to you live from kyoto, japan, sitting in front of the hosey river, one of the prettiest places in the world. this was the imperial capital of japan before move to tokyo. we are here because the g20 summit will be coming thereby, i will be interviewing the president, you will see it right here, but first night, the democratic debate less than an hour from now. a dozen candidates or so, ten candidates will take the stage, some of them potentially could become president. many others, bill de blasio,

cory booker are making fools of themselves and for reasons that aren't exactly clear. but it's interesting to see them gather together because you get a sense of what the democratic party cares about, what its priorities are bearded this season, the candidates will be trying hard to become the most extreme on the question of immigration. which one can attack the idea of borders most aggressively. keep in mind, it was only a few months ago that as a group they were telling you there was no crisis at all on the border. in fact, they were saying it was manufactured by the trump administration. remember? watch of the spirit speak of the president has manufactured one heck of a political crisis for himself. >> donald trump has manufactured a crisis. he will hear him say that this is a manufactured crisis, not a national crisis. nancy pelosi, anyone else who will give him a dime for this project. >> it's manufactured it's manufactured. >> it's a manufactured crisis for the president to get a

political land. >> our president will go on tv tonight and lie, lie, lie some more. this is a manufactured crisis. >> tucker: liars and dumb people, joe lockard coming out of retirement to lie to you, it's a manufactured crisis. it wasn't true then, definitely not true now. 100,000 people estimated to be streaming into this country illegally every month, many from as far away as africa. the crisis is not manufactured, it is demonstrably real. even democrats recognize that now but now they are saying it is not their fault, of course. they are blaming the president. this week, a man and his daughter drowned trying to cross the rio grande river across our border. beto o'rourke tweeted this, "the president is responsible for these deaths." this is the man we should have no border barrier whatsoever. the press instantly adopted his view as their own. watch him repeat his sentiment. >> the cruelty and incompetence continues day by day to

exacerbate a humanitarian crisis at the border. >> resulting in the suffering of children and infants as of the president and his administration concocted a toxic brew of political opportunism and operational incompetence. >> children who live there today and tonight should not have to shoulder the political dysfunction and the administration's policies that have created this situation. >> tucker: what you just saw isn't shading the truth, it's not bending the truth, it's lying right here face and daring you to disagree. it's the definition of propaganda. thousands of people across our border everything will die illegally. why? because were it has gotten out that our immigration laws will not be enforced. it's not the president who decided not to enforce them. he was elected to enforce them. no, it's the democratic party, which has staked its entire political future on the dysfunction you are watching right now. importing a new class of voters to replace the american middle

class, which it no longer serves or cares about. it's the democrats who halted deportation, it democrats who are telling you even today we have to shut down i.c.e. not every thing about the democratic party is bad. not everything they say is alive. but when they tell you that it is trump's fault that the border is out of control, that is alive. it is 100% their fault. they created the status quo that is creating deaths of migrants. but don't take it from us, five years ago president obama admitted the dysfunctional orders lead to suffering. watch this. >> our message absolutely is don't send your children unaccompanied on trains or through a bunch of smugglers. we don't even know how many of these kids don't make it and may have been made late into sex trafficking or killed because they fell off a train. we have no way of tracking that. that is our direct message to the families in central america. do not send your children to the borders. if they do make it, they will

get sent back. more importantly, they may not make it. >> tucker: that is a barack obama telling illegal aliens not to come. not to put their children in harm's way trying to sneak in. can you imagine? he is a democrat, in case you don't remember, he held office three years ago. try saying that today. anyone who even has those thoughts will be considered a thought criminal. obama would be to far right wing to stand on tonight's debate stage, he actually would be scorned by his fellow republicans, if he was a republican. things have changed a lot. ed henry is in miami for tonight's debate and he joins us tonight for some perspective on this question. hey. >> tucker, good to see you. it's fascinating, you're right, because among the ten democrats on stage, none of them are saying what barack obama said, which is that at least parents have some responsibility for what is happening at the border of the kids who are coming across. back in 2014, it was about unaccompanied minors.

what you are talking about that it's captured the left's attention and it should capture everyone's attention that it is a tragedy that a father and daughter die but no one on the stage tonight are talking about the father's responsibility, parents in general, and i will take it a step further. two democrats on the stage tonight, beto o'rourke and cory booker, they both served in congress, o'rourke, a former congressman, booker, senator. they are blaming the president for this death of this father and daughter when they happen and were in congress and did virtually nothing about the border crisis. i will say cory booker at least, a few months ago, we checked the record, he did say it's a crisis and his party should not deny it's a crisis. but in fact, when you look at it, nancy pelosi called it a fake crisis. chuck schumer said it is a crisis that does not exist. look at people in the media, don lemon on cnn a few months ago said this was an imaginary latin american conspiracy put together by the president. at last night, don lemon was

holding up this photo you showea moment ago on cnn and saying anyone who wants to deny it's a crisis, i'll show you this phot photo. anyone like, don lemon? nancy pelosi? chuck schumer? they have all denied previously that it was a crisis. >> tucker: so, they are betting, i guess, that nobody else in america can remember what the world was like three months ago, or what they said three months ago? speak out right. part of it is you now have this debate in congress and house republicans bear some responsibility. remember, they ran the house the first two years of donald trump's administration. they didn't follow through on the wall, they didn't follow through on a lot of pieces. they did some of it, but there is a lot they didn't follow up on. so you have that issue on the table. now, byron york was pointing this out today. you have democrats and republicans in congress fighting about few billion dollars to the with the border crisis. everyone should admit it is a

crisis as the president first declared it. if they are fighting over a few billion dollars for the crisis and yet we have thousands of people crossing illegally every day, and while they fight, there is nothing they are doing. by the way, cory booker on stage tonight is going even further. he wants to decriminalize the idea of crossing the border illegally. how exactly will that work? if you come here illegally, he is going to say, i'm decriminalizing that. you cannot break our laws, it's okay. >> tucker: and hears universal health care which you can now participate in. yeah, that is the end of the country right there, ed henry, thank you for answering that question. it really amazing. good to see you. mark morgan is the current acting director of i.c.e. and he joins us tonight. mr. morgan, thank you for coming on. it does seem like the democratic party democratic party has woken up to the fact that it's a crisis but now it is the president's fault. what is your response your response? >> again, tucker, this is just

outrageous. how long have we been talking about -- the experts, the people who do this everything the day that risked their lives -- we've been out there pleading congress that they need to step up. the only dysfunctional thing is congress! their inability to do what we've been begging them to do, to fix the floor settlement agreement so we don't release families into the united states. td pra, which allows us -- we are forced kids from the northern triangle countries, we have to let them into the united states. we have told them, that is the incentive, that is the pull factor. if they pass meaningful legislation to fix those two things, that would and catch and release, i am promising americas would skyrocket down, and congress refuses to do their jo job. >> tucker: that's very, very obvious. this is an ominous sign, or it seems like one. nick robin, police say they have

deported four suspected members of isis, reportedly came to costa rica earlier this month and were caught after several of them came into nicaragua. what is this about? do you have any sense? >> i do and i'm glad you brought this up because here is another narrative, we went from, it's a manufactured crisis do now, it is a crisis but only a humanitarian crisis, that is why the president declared a national emergency because it is humanitarian and a national security threat crisis as well, and this is a great example. this is where homeland security investigations, hsi, the investigative element of i.c.e., this is where they are pushing the borders out, they are working with other countries, and they have come up with these great systems where if we get an alert on somebody, these countries who are helping them do biometrics on these people, and we are identifying who they are well before they get anywhere near our borders to do damage. in this case, that is exactly what they did. now, it came out, there wasn't

any derogatory information about these individuals, so right now we don't have any connection to terrorist groups or terrorist activity, but that is not the point. the american people should realize that bad things, bad people could potentially come through that southwest border and this is a great example of that. >> tucker: yeah, as soon as they get here they get drivers licenses. [laughs] i mean, i don't know why i'm laughing. it's so completely absurd. mark morgan, thanks so much for your perspective on that on that. >> you bet. >> tucker: a young pioneer alexandria acadia cortez is a member of congress but would make a fantastic -- if she decides to change careers. it's not enough if she decides to oppose the president's immigration policy, she also wants to destroy anyone who is remotely connected to securing the border. wayfarer is providing beds for a new immigrant holding facility in texas. today, some employees walked out in protest. ocasio-cortez endorsed their

efforts, tweeting "this is what solidarity looks like." they be next she will boycott the snack foods that i.c.e. stocks in vending machines. elizabeth warren is entering tonight's debate with a fresh po completely decriminalize a legal border crossings, which is of course completely insane. sneaking into america illegally would no longer be illegal. what would happen to the country if we did that? melissa francis, cohost of "outnumbered" and "after the bell." thank you for coming on. first, alexandria ocasio-cortez, what do you make of this? she is saying that anybody who does business with a i.c.e. in effect should be punished. >> i mean, it's idiotic. the ceo of wayfarer, a public company first of all. they are losing money. their ceo doesn't get to make decisions like that, he has a legal responsibility to do best with the shareholder's money, it is not his money, he can't make

decisions based on his own politics or his own definition of morality. he has to try to make money for his shareholders. it's against the law for him to do what she wants him to do, to turn down business, especially given the fact that the company is losing money. let's talk about elizabeth warren and this other proposal we are going to hear more about tonight at those debates, if you do an, where they are saying if you cross the border, it shouldn't be illegal. guess what. it simply is coming here to seek asylum, it's because the rule oe country has broken down to the r feel safe. they come to this country because the rule of law works and keeps them safe. so how is breaking the law helping those people who are coming here for laws and security quest market these are both really stupid ideas. how does taking away furniture help children? how does taking away laws help children? it doesn't.

our lawmakers have massively failed us. this is a huge problem that is enormous. because it has festered for so long. there is no easy way to solve it. it's going to take a whole bunch of solutions. here's the thing, tucker, what if every time we interviewed a lawmaker, what if you went i took this pledge and everybody else, shep, sean, rachel, anderson, what if we all said that every time you interview a lawmaker you say, name one thing you have proposed before that you are willing to give input on the table as a gesture to get the ball rolling? you can't name what you want in return. because, you know what, everyone is going to have to work together to come to a solution. that picture of the dead child is really heartbreaking. but everybody looks at it and they see someone different to blame. we can all look at it and see that it is a total failure on the part of americans. look at that picture and asked lawmakers, what is it that you are willing to put on the table,

with nothing in return -- you won't look weak, you will look strong. what you think? don't you think that would work? >> tucker: it might. personally, i think that the people in charge of the country first need to care about a country. i am in a country now, japan, whatever their flaws, the leaders care about the country of japan. there is no immigration to japan because they don't think it is good for the country. there is also no litter and no crime. every priority on both sides of the divide politically, the basic priorities are the same, which is take care of the country. i don't see anyone in congress putting literally america's interest first at all. >> i agree with you but i think this would expose them because both sides have led this problem fester and it has become a great political thing to them, way to hit the other side. i mean when you have somebody proposing that anybody who comes into this country illegally is suddenly illegal, that doesn't make any sense, so they are

obviously not trying to do anything real, they are trying to make a political point. it lets challenge them to actually fix the problem, or shut up and get out of the way. >> tucker: amen. melissa francis, thanks very much for that. just a reminder tonight going forward we will monitor the democratic debates and have all of the low points on tomorrow's show so you don't have to suffer through it. we recommend you don't. robert mueller wants to go to retirement, he said to him in public. democrats won't let him. the russia probe must continue! he's being forced to testify. we will tell you when and where. yesterday we were broadcasting live from tokyo and now we are in a remarkable city in japan, take you to the journey of how we got here, our first stop, japan's famous bullet train station in tokyo. watch. >> tucker: we are in the central tokyo train station, heading to kyoto on the bullet drain, the largest metro area in

the world in the first thing you notice is what this train station doesn't have, which is filth, graffiti, no trash, no one is begging money, no one's shooting drugs, nobody is yelling or picking imaginary insects out of the air. this is as nice as any public space i have ever been in my life. shocking. it would be nice to live in a place like this.

years. this is where the japanese emperor's lips. but that entire millennium , the city may be have never seen anything as absurd as what is happening in our own capital, washington, d.c., right now, the mueller report has been out for two months, you've read it, you know that there is no evidence inside of it, this is the result of two years of investigation, that russia helped the trump campaign with the knowledge of the trump campaign. in other words, that there was collusion between the two beard and no collusion. but it doesn't matter, democrats cannot allow the story to die, they have to talk about it until november 2020. now they are bringing robert mueller back to testify about the report. congressman jerry nadler, it was really a contemptible member of congress, insists it won't be a waste of everyone's time. watch this. >> i think it will have a profound impact. i think it is very important that the american people hear from mr. mueller as to what he

did find, what the result of that two year investigation were and not have to rely on the misinformation spread by the attorney general. i'll be reading the report, which most people don't do. >> tucker: a former cia officer and a frequent guest on the show, he joins us tonight. john, thank you for coming on. you heard mr. nadler say that mr. mueller needs an opportunity to explain what he found, but i thought he got to write the report that had no time limit and no length limit. what can he possibly tell us that wouldn't have been in the report? >> he is not going to tell us anything at all. he's already told us anything at all that is not already been published in the report. what jerry nadler is hoping is that 99% of americans have not read the report. they have relied on media to tell them what they should think, and that they are not going to go read the report now.

now can you imagine somebody like robert mueller, who has made it as far as he has made it in life by being a professional, just throwing all of that out of the window and sitting in the witness chair and coming up with some sort of new revelation that nobody's known about? that he hadn't written about, that his investigators hadn't uncovered until just now? it's never going to happen. this is only political theater, and nothing more. >> tucker: so, mueller told us when he made his one and only public appearance after the release of his report that if called to testify, he would not say a single thing that wasn't contained in the report. you think it's possible he will change that position? >> i can't imagine that he will change that position because then he is going to open himself up to all kinds of new criticis criticism. why do that? what robert mueller wants is for this whole thing to just end so

that he can take that seven-figure salary and the big corner office in some law firm somewhere and live happily ever after. he said, and i saw this on all of the news networks in the last day or so, that he only agreed to testify because he didn't want to spend the money on an attorney fighting a subpoena. so what he is going to do -- and i would bet a paycheck on this -- what he is going to do is he's going to sit in the witness chair and he's going to repeat everything that he concluded in that report. we are not going to see anything new coming out of this testimon testimony. >> tucker: your point about legal fees, someone yourself who has been hounded for a long time by the federal government knows very well, that is one of the ways they get you. you give up because it is too expensive. thank you for making that point. >> great to see you. >> my pleasure, great to see you. thank you. >> tucker: lawlessness continues to gain traction in the united states. now in queens, new york,

apparently a new d.a. has been elected who is committed to protecting criminals and tearing down the law. we are not overstating that. we will tell you the details after the break. but first, more of our journey from tokyo to our current location kyoto to prepare for the president's arrival here in japan. >> tucker: we are at the central tokyo train station, about to board a bullet train. they call them a bullet train because they are really fast. a trend like this could get between new york and washington, for example, in an hour. it currently takes our fastest train three hours. this train is going to hiroshima right behind me. it's about to take off, they have electric engines, that apparently, the lift off, the g-force is intense when it starts. ♪ woman: my reputation was trashed online.

>> tucker: welcome back. we are here in kyoto, japan, along the banks of the i.c.e. back in the united states, democrats are just moments away from taking the debate stage in miami where they are not demanding we open our borders to the world and give health care to millions of foreigners. they are telling us that global warming will and the world and giving the green new deal total control of the economy is the only way to save this. for months, democrats have been working themselves into a frenzy, leather of hysteria. they say things like this. >> the biggest threat to our prosperity in this in this 21st century is a climate change. to speak of the crisis that could come at its worst, lead to extinction. >> that climate change is real, is an existential threat to our country, and the entire planet. >> we are running out of runway to be able to fix this problem! [applause]

we need all hands on deck. >> when the planet has been imperil in the past, who came forward to save earth? from the scourge of totalitarian regimes? we came forward. >> if you don't take climate change seriously, you don't care about the world, the country. you don't care about people. >> tucker: human extinction! these people are buffoons. they wouldn't know science if god in the shower with them, no human atrocity is too ludicrous to draw a comparison with. it is hysterical, it is hilarious actually. every candidate was willing to fly to miami on a gas guzzling airplane for the debate, emitting carbon along the way. that's weird. of the world is ending but it's not important enough to curtail their ambitions? a research fellow at the heartland institute, he joins us. just then, this confuse you? if this is an existential

threat -- i love that threat, not that i know what it means, to humanity, if it is worse than the nazis, why would you ever fly on an airplane if you believe that? >> i have a better question, why would you ever support a bunch of socialist policies, why would you even want to spend one single penny on anything other than stopping this suppose it existential threat that is going to wipe out humanity in 80 years? if we are all headed for a mad max post-apocalyptic hell escape universe in 80 years, shouldn't we be focusing all our money and energy on stopping the problem? yet they want free college tuition for everyone, canceling student loan debt, universal health care, federal jobs guaranteed, any program they can think of, that is what they are calling for. it's obvious why they are doing this, because this is all about socialism. this is not about climate change, this is not about saving the planet. this is about socialism, and any

democratic party, presidential candidate who wants to debate is on the climate science, we are more than willing to do that. we have a conference coming up, the heartland institute, july 25th in washington, d.c., any presidential candidate who wants to come and debate us on climate science, we will gladly host you. i don't think anyone is going to come. >> tucker: i don't think anyone will take you up on that. you follow this for a living, china is the greatest emitter of carbon in the world, biggest polluter, too, in conventional terms. if you ever hear them a credit candidate denounced china? >> no, never. the amazing thing about that is even if we reduced our co2 emissions down to zero, it wouldn't do anything because china and india and countries like that are emitting way more fossil fuels and emissions and then we are here in the united states. it's not going to make any difference over the next ten years. the reality is that co2 emissions are going to increase no matter what we do here in

america. democrats who tell you otherwise are lying to you. they are lying to you because again, it's not about climate change, it's not about saving the planet, it's about socialism, plain and simple. >> tucker: el, increasing their power over you. justin, good to see you tonight, thank you. >> thanks. >> voters in queens last night elected tiffany kaman endorsed y alexandria ocasio-cortez and george soros, she won the democratic primary so in effect, she is the officeholder, because that is the same as winning a november election. once she is officially in office she is clear about what she wants to do, she will decriminalize, she will and cash bail for all criminal offenses and close down new york's famous rikers island prison without building a replacement for it. what would that mean for new york? harvey carr is a radio host and he joins us tonight.

what would happen if you did what she says she is going to do? >> it is chaos, obviously, queens is a very big place, it's got more population, archie bunker don't live there anymore. she was elected with a tiny vote, it was only an 11% turnout of a special election. the regular queens democrat machine split the vote two or three different ways and she split in by 1,000 votes. but this is total chaos what is going on here. she wants to decriminalize turnstile jumping on the subways and the buses. yet, across the river in manhattan, governor cuomo who backed the losing candidate, he just talked about adding 500 cops to the subways at buses in manhattan to stop the crime and the fair jumping that has been

created by the same policy in the borough of manhattan. you know, soros has taken over low-profile the very powerful prosecutorial jobs here. he knocked off two moderate democrats in your neck of the woods in virginia, they elected these people in st. louis, jesse smallish, that disaster is pretty much do to this new district states attorney in cook county chicago, she is another one of these woke prosecutors, and it is just crazy, this woman has a platform of -- we've got to end of mass incarceration. there is no mass incarceration. the jail population in new york is down 50% in the last 20 years. the prison population in the state is down 51%. what are they talking about? you know, people don't know what

a crime is anymore. in boston, it's the same thing. >> tucker: whatever happened to campaign finance reform? you have a one guy, some naturalized american, george soros, who hates the united states and wants to destroy it, and he gets to choose who enforces the law in all these different cities because he is rich and the rest of us aren't as rich? whatever, the left used to be upset about things like that but now they are for it? they think george soros should be allowed to control the country the way he does. what changed? >> i don't know, i tell you, i don't know what used to be called the mainstream democrats are paying much attention here. governor cuomo, was complaining about the miserable turnout and the normal democrats splitting the vote. it happened in boston, too, last year, rachel rollins was elected in these candidates keep going further and further left, the

d.a. in boston just won a court case to keep i.c.e. agents out of the courtrooms. now caban is talking about arresting i.c.e. agents in courthouses. there is all this confusion. >> tucker: we know exactly where this is going. >> last month, a guy just got out of jail and he went down to a grocery store and started shoplifting because if the cops picked him up, this was in the suburbs come he said you can't arrest me, shoplifting is no longer illegal in boston. at the cops and said, that is true in boston but you are not in boston, you are in a different county, so there's all this confusion for the criminal community. they want to help. >> tucker: the criminal community.

♪ >> tucker: welcome back from kyoto, one of the reasons journalists are so hysterical recently is that journalism itself is dying in this country. in the past 30 years, 28 years more precisely, newspapers have got more jobs in this country in

america than coal, steel, or commercial fishing. it's being hollowed out. the only people left are the dumb ones. visual journalism was supposed to be the future, it was supposed to rescue the whole operation, but earlier this year, there were mass layoffs that digital journalists, huff po, buzzfeed, other media giants. we recently talked to the open market institute about why this is happening. he said that facebook and google are the cause, they are the enemies of a healthy democratic layers. here is part of our conversation. >> tucker: status clearly, we hear journalism is dying and how online journalism is dying as well, but rarely do people say exactly why. why? >> it's because google and facebook have monopolized the advertising market. it not so much technology as it is the business models of these two communication network networks. >> tucker: so, that means once they have this duopoly they

control virtually all online advertising, they take all the money and starve the site that are driving the traffic? is that what you're saying? >> just to kind of explain, google and facebook are both essentially communication networks that you have to use. they are monopolies. google does search out a of other products. facebook's social networking. effectively, every business or publisher and person on the internet has to use them. what they do with their power is they surveilled you. they learn all your secrets, then they run a large advertising businesses and manipulate users, you, other businesses, and the flow of information across the web to serve themselves. this it diverts advertising money that used to go to publishers into the pockets of google and facebook. so, you know, if you want to know why all the journalists are being laid off, it is because that money that used to go -- by the way, this is a post-2009

phenomenon, so it is in the internet, it is a specific business model that has emerged on the internet after 2009. >> tucker: i was thinking we should have a law against that but it turns out we already do have a number, we've had them for over 100 years and a ban monopolies for the very reasons you are describing, but no one in congress or anywhere else seems willing to invoke these laws. why is that? >> since the 1970s, we have kind of been enthralled to this philosophy that says the only way to determine if something is a monopoly is if consumer pricing is if you can see changes in consumer pricing but because google and facebook appear to be free, you don't pay any cash for using their services, enforcers and antitrust regulators tend to say no, there is no market power problem there. it's an absurd philosophy. it's crazy. it's not really in the law, it's in a bunch of made up court decisions, that is how we do enforcement now and it's time to start rethinking these choices

so we can have a free press. >> tucker: right. so the alternative, what we have now, is a system where our biggest newspaper in the capital city is the private broadsheet of the richest man in the world, jeff bezos, who is responsible, in part, for the destruction of the media. the media can exist independently now that jeff bezos has the biggest megaphone in the city of washington, that doesn't seem like a dystopian outcome? >> of course it is, the free press should not be the plaything of a rich monopolies, but it is. that is a devastating situation that we are in right now. the solution is pretty simple. if you are a communication network, that people have to use, so if you are a monopoly that people have to use to get information from them to their friends or family or other businesses, you should not be able to run an advertising business. break them up. it's very simple. we've done it we've done it

about karl marx." and how they are relevant to our current come political climate. "teen vogue" didn't mention the downsides to many millions, tens of millions murdered by marx's ideas, russia, venezuela, cuba, so many other countries. instead, they call marxism a bulwark against oppression. "teen vogue" used to target young people, now they target 35 years old. one of japan's closest neighbors as russia, that is where this incredible survival story comes from. a russian man in siberia was mauled by a brown bear then dragged back to its den to become my cap for later like a plate of left overs. he suffered from a broken spine, but managed to stay alive for a month, apparently without food or water, until he was found by a group of hunters who rescued him, and now is in the hospital recovering. how did this happen? is it a real story? could you do it if you are god by a bear? dr. marc siegel is fox's medical correspondent and joins us tonight. >> hi, tucker.

>> tucker: this is a story that you want to believe is true. is it possible, could this be true? >> you know, it's possible under the following circumstances: first of all, brown bears do not usually drag humans anywhere. humans are not their prey. but if he attacked the cubs are for the cubs at risk, the bear might get angry, and brown bears do sometimes a store food, and they wait for a while until the food decomposes, and then they eat it. so it is possible he would be in this cave for a month. he can survive without food, tucker. you can survive weeks and weeks without food. mahatma gandhi survived on a fast for 21 days without food. you need water, though, and you are not going to survive by drinking urine the way he did. that is the part i do not believe because urine is salty and will make you more dehydrated. you can survive with broken bones, and you might look like that because areas of your skin are going to fall off from insufficient blood flow pair the body will protect its vital

organs, blood, glucose, oxygen goes to the vital organs. but here is how you could survive, if you were drinking from rock icicles in the cave, if the water that was dripping down in the cave -- it has minerals in it, and if you're drinking bad, you could survive, and it is cold there. it's near mongolia, about 27, 2. of the colder it is, the more likely you might survive because your organs stay alive longer, including your brain. i think it's possible. i think it's plausible, but not the urine part. you have to get water somehow. if you got water, he could survive. >> tucker: that's heartening to hear. at dr. siegel, great to see you. >> the courage is amazing, too, if it happened. thank you, tucker. >> tucker: it is amazing, nothing like a siberian hunter. tough group. health care costs across the world, but particularly in this country, are crushing. ours are some of the highest in the world, here in america, and they are rising all the time.

where's the money going? one place is a massive paychecks for the heads of supposedly charitable hospitals. openthebooks.com released a point on report on charity hospitals, and 74 of them, the top paid executives make at least a million dollars a year. check this out, at six of these hospitals, charity hospitals, the head guy, the administrator, makes more than $10 million a year. it's hard to believe. at a jeske is the founder of open the books and joins us tonight. adam, more than $10 million a year for running a charity hospital? how does that work? >> it's outrageous. the top guy last year at banner health in phoenix, arizona, made $21.6 million, the second highest paid executive made $12.4 million. that means two executives at banner last year cleaned off $34 million. >> tucker: you have any idea what percentage of the billing to that hospital comes from

federal or state government? probably the majority. speak with a lot of money. out of the 82 charitable hospitals, research grants flowed from federal agencies, and we estimate that the 82 charitable hospitals did $83 billion last year in medicaid and medicare billings, so it is a substantial amount of money, probably about one-third of the revenue comes for directly from government. >> tucker: and they are rewarding themselves over $10 million a year. am i missing something, or is that -- >> no, you got it. and we found charities operating in hospitals all over the country participating in this period in chicago, northwestern memorial, their ceo made $11 million. ascension health care in st. louis, missouri, last year, their chief made $13 million. we looked at the last four years of his compensation, and we were able to quantify that he pulled out $60 million of cash

compensation. >> tucker: i want to put his picture -- i wishing we had his picture for the screen, because that's a charity hospital. >> in houston, texas, -- >> tucker: keep going. >> they justified an $18 million payout because the ceo was in his last year, and it was a golden parachute retirement payment. look, this is patient money. the average family in america is paying nearly $20,000 in health care costs. congress needs to crack down and there is a lot that steve mnuchin, the treasury secretary, can do to start enforcing rules on these charities. >> tucker: yeah, these are all hillary donors, anyway, trust me. adam, infuriating, fascinating segment pay thank you for that. >> thanks for your interest in our work, tucker. >> tucker: i'm amazed by it. that is it appeared from japan, don't forget, we will monitor the democratic debate so you don't have to! have a great night. doing something wholesome. we will see you tomorrow,
