and prayers and we will all stay on those as they go into the recovery process and we hope he is back soon. most watched, most trusted, most grateful you spent your evening with us. good night from washington. i'm shannon bream. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." alexandra ocasio-cortez lecturing us about the weather today. flashol floods in d.c. on monda. she said, an act of god? no, it's the fault of republicans not passing her green new deal and not giving her full power over the american economy.ew one problem with that, scientists disagree with her read on that. we'll talk to one ahead. first, here's a quiz. how many foreign nationals are living in the united states right now? just kidding, it's a trick question. nobody knows the answer.t could be 10 million, could be 50 million, we would just be guessing. pretty embarrassing for an advanced country not to know who

lives within its borders, but honestly we have no idea. the last two years, the trump administration has been tryingti to fix that by including a simple citizenship question on the 2020 census. democrats hate the idea, of course. if voters actually knew how many noncitizens lived in united states, they might be less enthusiastic about giving free health care to illegal aliens. last month, liberals on the supreme court threw up roadblocks to adding the citizenship question to the census. the attorney general is confident it's going to happen. >> we've been considering all the options and i've been in constant discussions with the president since the supreme court decision came down. over the next day or two, you'll see the next approach we are taking. i think it provides a pathway on getting the question on the census. >> tucker: a large majority of americans agree with that. so does the united nations. there is nothing inherently weird or controversial about

asking who was a citizen of the country, every nation has a right to know that. ten previous censuses have asked about citizenship, by the way, including the long form census in 2000 back when bill clinton was president, that was less than 20 years ago. nobody claimed that it was unconstitutional because it was not unconstitutional and still the constitution has not changed but what has changed is the democratic party. suddenly they are telling us that it's illegal for the government to ask if you are ae citizen or not. why? you know why. the same reason they gave for objecting to everything. it's racist! >> the citizenship question is motivated by racial and partisan reasons.he it has no business and something that is supposed to be neutral. >> this is political motivation. this is very racialized. you do not want communities like mine being represented in this chamber equally. >> this is not whether or not i want to know who is a citizen in the united states or not. i want to know about the racism

and the very disturbing history that we are seeing here. that's what i wanted to know. >> this is about keeping -- you know, his hat? make america white again. y >> tucker: they are such liars. at some point, words like thesee lose their power and their meaning. their misuse is absurd. but it's also entirely fake, like most of the temper tantrums. do what i want or i will call you a racist! it's always their threat. how long will people fall for it? how long will republicans in congress be intimidated by it? there is nothing racial about a citizenship question, obviously. a question would apply to everyone, whether they are honduran, norwegian, congolese or korean. it doesn't matter. it's literally color-blind. not the democrats care. the democrat party is not interested in stopping racism. what they want is power. shut up and obey. don't ask questions, what's

happening to your country, you aren't allowed to know. congressman jim jordan is the republican from the state of ohio. thank you for coming on. is there a substantive argument against ---- >> no. >> tucker: okay. so where is this idea coming>> from that it's a racial attack coming from? what does it have to do with race? >> it comes from only democrats in congress. judge alito said it best, it's important to know how many are inhabitants in your nation our citizens. thee easiest way to ask is on te senses. go to any small town from any big city in this country, walk up to a citizen, person on the street, do you think on the census we should ask a citizenship question and their response will be yes. it would quickly be followed up by, aren't we doing that already?il of course, you'd have to respond and say, yeah, we've been doing it for 200 years, as you pointed out in your monologue. this is so common sense, every one gets it except for democrats in united states congress.

>> tucker: the census is used to proportion congressional districts every ten years. >> yes. >> tucker: what happens if you don't know how many noncitizens you have living in your country? doesn't that distort the congressional districts? >> of course. the portion of the persons, portion of the people. in your opening statement, we would like to know how many people of the 330 million, how many are citizens, how many aren't. it would be helpful information, useful information. as you said, the u.n. says this is something that countries should do. most countries do it, but the letter states of america, the democrats in power have their way, won't ask a simple question that everyone assumes is already being asked and when they make the assumption, they are accurate. in one form or another, it's been asked for 200 years going all the way back to 1820. >> tucker: it's asked inin canada. nobody is denounced in canada as racist.

you work in politics. you are a sitting memberng of congress. what are the actual politics behind this decision by democrats that charge it's racist! >> well, that's the line they use all the time when they want to accuse us of things they disagree with and they want a different policy. this is, as i said before, so common sense, i think they are nervous about what the number may be. you actually may find out how many people -- maybe it's not 11 million, the number we hear all the time. maybe it's a higher number of people who are here who aren't citizens or here in some illegal fashion. i think they are afraid of that number. i would ask them, why don't you want to know? i would ask them the question, i asked it in committee, they never seem to want to respond to that question when we bring it up in committee hearings. >> tucker: the party of science is arguing against gathering data. they have no real explanation for that. is what you are saying. >> we know what it is. it's pure politics, when in fact this is useful information thatt we need for how certain services

are administered, how certain federal dollars, how they flow through the respective states, critical information that we need. everybody knows it's common sense. the american people want us to ask this question. unfortunately, like i said, the democrats in congress don't want to do what everybody knows just makes good common sense. >> tucker: congressman jim jordan of ohio, thanks very much for joining us tonight. >> you bet, tucker. thank you. >> tucker: for more than a decade, virtually everyone on the left has repeated the same number, america has 11 million illegal aliens within their borders. countless guests on this show have repeated that number. >> the 250 million undocumented people in the world today, the united states has 11 million. >> those are a lot of the 11 million people we are talking about. >> so many people living in this country, we have about 11-12 million people living in this country. >> deporting 11 million people, is that what we wanted to do? >> this is america. we aren't going to go round up 11 million people.

>> the undocumented population has remained stable at about 11 million for the last half decade.ca >> negatively impacting not just 11 million people. >> we have 11 million people who are undocumented.. >> when we say comprehensive immigration reform, that means legalizing 11 million people in this country. >> is an undocumented immigration in this country, one of the 11 million who are viewed as criminals. >> we now have 11 million people paying more taxes, paying into social security, paying into medicare. >> we have 11 million people. let's figure out how to get them into the country. >> tucker: okay. so here is a useful rule of thumb going forward. whenever everyone on television, particularly on the left, is repeating the same factoid, it's almost by definition totally untrue. and this is no exception. b how do you know it's 11 million? they have no idea it's 11 million. nobody has counted the actual number of illegal immigrants in this country and democrats want to make it illegal to try.

11 million. you'll be hearing that when your grandkids are old. victorgr davis hanson is a senir fellow at the hoover institution and he joins us tonight. professor, thank you very much for coming on. first, just the larger question, democrats are claiming this is racist, everything is racist, but the rhetoric on this citizenship question is particularly acidic and biting. nancy pelosi, make america white again. what happens to the social fabric of our country when trusted leaders make grotesque and untrue race-based claims like that?? how badly does it hurt this country? >> we are destroying the classical definition of thecl melting pot in which your superficial appearance was supposed to be incidental, not essential to who you are. when she says make america white -- i live in a community with 90% hispanics and i can guarantee you that i don't know if you were to tell me some were italian or some were southern european, i wouldn't know the difference.

so white is just a construct. many people crossing the border are whiter than i am. this artificial binary is masking the problem, that is the democratic party wants to change the demography of the, united states because they feel their message doesn't resonate with the existing population. so one of the strange things, t tucker, not just that the analytics show that there is more than 11 million people. we know that from a recent mit and yale study, the suggestion is the high number might be as high as 22 million and up. that can be up to 7%-9% of the population. 2 but the democrats know that, because in 2006-2008, if you ano i collated what barack obama said, with john kerry said, with hillary clinton said, we would see that they were pretty much on record that they wanted legau only immigration. what changed from then until now? what changed is that they understand the numbers are so huge now that they see a

potential constituency, actually an actual constituency. we shouldn't listen to what they say but how they act, and they i pander to the illegal alien community because they know the numbers in truth are huge. >> tucker: that suggests overwhelmingly, they believe at some point the illegal aliens living here will be able to vote in elections. that has to be the plan or they wouldn't be pandering, correct? >> it is.ns i think it's even a western globalized phenomenon that citizenship doesn't mean much anymore, that residency is all you need, that we've blurred the distinction. we have local elections in which illegal aliens vote, but if you come into the airport or one of our viewers do without a passport, tucker, he's in real trouble., or if i used a fake identity or a fake social security number, i'm done at the hoover institution. that's a felony. if i am in a community and i say

federal law does not apply to me on matters of gun registration, epa -- that's impossible. but with sanctuary cities and open borders, we've actually given the legal exemption to residents over citizens. there's why there's a push back and as your guests said, they are terrified that the actual number they know to be true, iff that gets out people will say wow, we got a huge fraction of people, 27% of california of current residents are not native born. that's over one in four californians and people say that we know what happened in california, that's what's behind this. flipping red states into blue states. it's pretty cynical when you look all around at the mexican government that wants the 60 billion along with these central american governments,nt the employers want cheap labor, the ethnic industry wants a

constituency to fuel their agenda, the democratic party wants a new blue state electoral college. it's pretty cynical. the only person who has no constituency is your average american middle-class voter. >> tucker: who's obeying thean law and using his real name to pay his real taxes. we are suckers. >> absolutely. >> tucker: professor, thank you. >> he is. tragic is that it is. p thank you. >> tucker: thank you. russian interference in the 2016 election is supposed to be an accepted fact.ru one journalist, though, on the left, by the way, says the very text of the mueller report undermines that assumption. what do we really know about the degree to which russians interfered and hacked our democracy? much less than they say we know? we will tell you after the break. ♪

>> tucker: ross perot died this morning at the age of 89. some people might remember him as the answer to a trivia question. that guy ran for president in the '90s. he's not just a novelty, business men in politics, in many ways he was prophetic. don't believe it? here's what ross perot had to say about american foreign policy 27 years ago. all the way back in 1992. watch. >> i suggest that our number one preoccupation is red ink in this country and we've got to put our people back to work so that we can afford to do these things in russia. we cannot be the policeman of the world any longer. we spent 300 billion a year

defending the world.we if i can get you to defend me and i can spend all my money spending industry? that's a home run for me. >> tucker: america ignored ross perot. some of us, including me, attacked him at the time. but he was right about that. since he spoke those words, ofrica has spent hundreds billions of dollars defending europe while the europeans do little to defend themselves, they could but they don't.th we've also spent more than in wars in iraq, syria, afghanistan, and somalia while continuing to provide free defense for europe. $5 trillion we are not safer or richer for all of that money. here's another prediction, by the way, about nafta, in 1992. watch. >> for all of you who are business people, pretty simple. if you are paying 12, $13 an an hour for factory workers, and you can move your factory south of the border, pay a dollar an hour for labor, hire a young --

let's assume you've been in business for a long time, you've got a mature workforce. pay a dollar an hour for your labor, have no health care, most expensive single element making the cost, have no environmental controls, no pollution controls, and no retirement, and you don't care about anythingen but making money, they will be a giant sucking sound going south. >> tucker: if you were around when perot said that, you remember how mercilessly he was mocked and yet again he was right. since 1994, the united states has lost about 4 million manufacturing jobs, tens of thousands of factories have closed since then. in 1992, our country had a $5 billion trade surplus with mexico. o today, its $80 billion. once again, perot was right. when nafta was being debated, supporters argued it would fix illegal immigration over the u.s.-mexico border. he called that a myth. he predicted that illegal immigration would rise, maybe dramatically. once again, he was absolutely right. washington was absolutely wrong

but more likely, they were just lying. in so many ways, america is a weaker, poorer, more divided country then it was when he first ran for president in 1982. we can't say that perot would've been a great president. who knows. but if we listened to him more and not dismissed him, we'd be a stronger country today. ross perot, rest in peace.ry former special counsel robert mueller will be testifying before congress on his final report on the russian investigation. but if mueller's testimony tried to sway democrats towards impeachment, he will have to overcome the words h of his teas own 400 page report. aaron mate just wrote a piece saying that the substance undercuts its own claims about russian interference in the 2016 election. thanks for coming on. you are arguing in this piece that the claims that the mueller report makes about russianie interference are not

substantiated by the report itself. can you elaborate on that? >> they are not. agreed with >> they are not. in fact, a d.c. judge just agreed with that assessment, rebuking mueller for asserting that this russian troll farm, the ira, was a part of what mueller calls a systematic and sweeping russian interference campaign while mueller never shows that that factory was part of the russian government.t. he never shows that that clickbait factory was a part of the russian government. mueller was rebuked by this judge for suggesting otherwise. right there, you have what mueller called a centralg allegation of his indictment, this russian interference campaign. the second aspect of that being this troll farm being showed to have nothing to do withng the russian government and there are many more disingenuous examples and glaring holes like that. there's also the fact that robert mueller never interviewed julian assange, which is very strange.

he's a central figure in this whole thing. assange released the stolen emails at the heart of russia gate. yet mueller had no entry speaking with him. that is a very curious decision. >> tucker: what's interesting is the core claim that russia had a meaningful effect on the election outcome, that it was the russian government running this operation in order to aid donald trump, that claim has been bought completely, i would say, by both parties. republicans are mad about the russia hoax and all that, but they still repeat that line again and again, we know that this happened, and you are saying that we don't know really that this happened. >> mueller doesn't really know core details. there is vague language in hisis report when he talks about how the emails were stolen from the dnc. he uses the qualifier that russian officers appear to have stolen emails, not that they stole the emails, which i think is suspicious. he also doesn't know how the emails made their way to wikileaks. so despite having such an invasive window into the operations of russia, mueller

can't tell us how thos emails got to wikileaks. >> tucker: wait a second. if he can't show how he they got to wikileaks, then how does he know -- i mean, that's essential fact. if you can't know that, then yot can't know anything, can you? >> no. i think it shows a real core flaw on his part and he should be questioned on it when he appears before congress next week.ea there is -- he suggests that the emails were given to wikileaks via these russian cutouts, alleged russian cutouts, guccifer 2.0, d.c leaks, but the timeline makes no sense. according to mueller's account, assange he got those emails from guccifer 2.0 and before he transferred by guccifer 2.0 which mueller cannot assert.

there is a lot of holes in this entire account. >> tucker: he should be asked about it. you are the only person asking these questions, hopefully members of congress are watching tonight and will follow your lead on this. aaron mate, thank you very much for coming on. >> thank you. >> tucker: beto o'rourke's presidential bid looks doomed. now he's trying to save his campaign by attacking the country. will it work? you know the answer. but it's still fun to watch. we will be right back. k ♪ bold choice, charlie! just tear, eat... mmmmm. and go! try all of my chicken creations! chicken!

(sfx:birds singing, distant dog barking) hi hi ♪(whistling tune: "don't worry, be happy")♪ >> tucker: not to brag, but wee predicted a few months ago that beto o'rourke's presidential campaign would be doomed, and in fact we were right.'r he bombed in the debates two weeks ago. pete buttigieg stole his youthful energy. in the democratic party of 2019, beto's skin color and sexual orientation work against him. skateboard tricks and nirvana references are not enough to ck

make up for it. his campaign is over, even if h doesn't know it yet. but o'rourke has one card to play before he leaves the race. he met with immigrants in nashville and proceeded to trash his own country. watch this. >> this country was founded on white supremacy and every single institution and structure that we have still reflects the a legacy of slavery and segregation and jim crow and suppression, even in our democracy. >> tucker: imagine saying that to people who just got here. immigrants who chose to move to america. more than a million people come to this country every year from around the world seeking a better life because they know that what o'rourke said is untrue. if it's a racist country, why are they streaming in from africa? they know that this is a tremendous opportunity with s limitless opportunity regardless of your background. it's not racist! it's not a white supremacist country!y!

it's absurd to say that. beto o'rourke will not be a potential candidate for longer but he's managed to disgrace him so before leaving. good job, beto. well, a school board in san francisco voted to spend $600,000 to destroy historic murals of george washington in 6 local high school. at a recent school board meeting, residents said destroying art is a matter of human rights. >> it is a racist mural. my history shouldn't be racist, but it is. >> please help it stop. >> it's a matter of human right. the right to learn without a hostile environment. >> i had to walk into those entrance and look at those murals. it did not speak to me. it was wrong. it was dehumanizing. >> i don't want another student who doesn't have to see those murals to have to see them. >> tucker: the images are so painful they must be destroyed. ethan, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> tucker: when did liberals decide it's okay to destroy art

if politicians don't like it? >> well, i don't know that's exactly is decided here. i actually wish it would be preserved in a museum or a gallery, but it wasn't. it's actually painted right on the wall itself.as therefore the only solution that was decided in this case rightfully because as you just saw the upset in the face and the emotions of the students, there is a lot of science there behind that type of implication of being in their face every day. look, it's important to know, tucker -- >> tucker: there is no t science -- the science of self-esteem is actually bogus. hold on, you are saying people don't like it so it must be destroyed. if i don't like a piece of art, can i petition my representative to destroy it as well? i mean -- >> no. >> tucker: what's the rule? >> come on, tucker. here we have a picture that's

historically accurate that showed president george washington with his slaves, with dead native americans. we have students at the school who are black americans, who are native americans, mesoamerican, to see that every day when you walk into school, to be in their face, this is who you are: you are a slave, you are to be murdered because you are standing up against, well, the americans taking over your territory -- >> tucker: mesoamerican? mesoamericans have no role in the mural at all. that's a separate category, do not know what that has to do with any of this actually. that's not what the mural says. it was not celebrating the murder of anyone, actually. it was painted by, as you know, a communist back in the soviet union who was trying to highlight the downside, the other side of washington's legacy. it's trying to be historically accurate, which no one would dispute that it is. but the broader question is, it's art, it's being destroyed because the left doesn't likebu

the message. why is this different from book burning? >> it is quite different from book burning and here's why: because we study about george washington in our history books. it's important. there is a really important piece here that research has shown that black students before taking an exam when having toki identify their ethnicity score lower on tests. this is doing that to them every single day when they walk into school. do we not want to help the black communities do better on tests? yes, we do. >> tucker: this is insane! >> it's not insane. there science reasoning behind this! >> tucker: ethan, this is one set of murals in one school in one city in america. this is not responsible for the test gap. okay? it's not changing the fact you are endorsing the destruction of art because you don't like it. so this is very different from o book burning, very different t

from the taliban destroying buddha statues because why? i don't see anyan difference at all. i'm a little surprised, do you think your liberal self would've been in favor of destroying art? >> i don't like destroying art at all. to my point, which is, one, we have photographs of this -- i don't! but this has a different place. this is a piece we have pictures of. i wish it could have been moved. we learn about george washington in our history books. we aren't deleting george washington. we are removing one specific mural in one school where people were having a very strong reaction to it. again, there is evidence -- >> tucker: who cares about their reaction! >> that imagery can suppress test scores. >> tucker: but that's completely bogus. >> it's not absurd, tucker. >> tucker: there is not one person who believes this. >> i will provide you the information. >> tucker: nobody believes that. >> absolutely! have you talked to any black majority schools? >> tucker: you've got to be kidding.

>> i'm not, tucker. i'm not. >> tucker: do you think, given the standard, do you think any art is safe? what would prevent anyone from walking into any museum and saying, that image is so offensive to me, it's a physical injury upon me, it must be destroyed. by the etahn bearman standards. >> that's absolutely not what i said.ar in the museum, that is a place where we maintain art and we maintain historical artifacts even if they are offensive. for example, i want to maintain our knowledge of what the nazis did, for example. i that doesn't mean when i walk into the schools i want it in my face to find out what happens to the jews. but i want to maintain that information, i want to maintain the pictures. i think the auschwitz museum, the holocaust museum are very important. those are different circumstances. >> tucker: ethan bearman, thanks for joining us tonight. we'll have to end it there. >> thanks, tucker.r.yre >> tucker: while the left's push to ban plastic straws are

suffered a traumatic brain injury after falling while carrying a mason jar glass with a screw top lid and metal straw inserted into it but when she fell, the straw pierced her eye and went into her brain. the coroner in the case said the straw was a danger because it was fixed in place and being metal, had no flexibility. he told the sun newspaper, "it seems the main problem here is if the lid hadn't been in placep the straw would have moved away." falling onto things is of course not uncommon cause of death or injury.h a cursory search by us tonight turned up instances of people being severely injured or killed by falling onto guns, falling onto knives, falling onto tent pegs, even in one case, falling onto a set of deer antlers.al tucker? >> tucker: those are dangerous too. jonathan hunt, thank you for that. alexandria ocasio-cortez has

"first a tornado and a flash flood? the congresswoman does not miss the opportunity this is not climate."

chief meteorologist at wetherell.com and author of "the climate chronicles," he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. does the congresswoman have a grip on the science? >> that's almost impossible to answer given the things that she does. she has weaponized the weather. you just mentioned my book, the longest chapter in the book is on the weaponization of the weather. sometimes, tucker, i think they took that and after they burned the book, they decided let'sha just double down and weaponize it. every single event is being used like this and it's going to be continue to be used. i will tell you why. t people don't know what happened before in the weather. if you don't know what happened before, people say you've got to stand up for something, you'll fall for anything? you'll fall for this stuff. people will say, this is the worst thing i've ever seen.. she is talking about that particular situation in

washington, d.c., she's probably not aware of july 4th 1959 in northeast ohio, july 1977 with the johnstown flood in pennsylvania.ns this is going on across the board and it's going to continue, going into hurricane season, right? that is one of their favorite things but wait and watch what happens in the gulf over the next few days. i guarantee over the weekend, there it is, climate change. >> tucker: but that is not a valid -- i mean, that's not a scientifically valid way to understand the weather, is it? >> of course it's not. do you think these folks know what -- what's the perfect temperature of the planet? does anyone know? what's the perfect level of co2 since plants grow better when there is more co2. maybe that's part of the design here, there is more food, prosperity is going up, life expectancy is going up, climate deaths are going down. i just don't understand.

don't believe me. go look for yourself. i don't know what's happened to curiosity today. there are a lot of honest people on the other side of the issue that i know. i see what they look at.on i believe they over attribute it to co2, but there is a whole bunch of people here simply using this as an agenda-driven idea and it has very little ton do with climate or weather. it has things to do with political ideas. >> tucker: it does seem that way. thank you for joining us tonight. >> it is. thank you for having me. >> tucker: tammy bruce, the president of independent women's voice and the host of "get tammy bruce," you should watch, she joins us tonight. there's a study out recently that shows if you wanted to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, the first thing you do is to plant trees, a lot of trees. >> sure. >> tucker: a plausible conclusion, i thought.

you hear nothing about this from democratic politicians, i noticed.d. could it be because that's because planting trees would not increase their political power, so they are not interested in it? >> it's one of those things. also solutions, they are against solutions to things.t' if you solve problems -- if you really solve the problems, what are they going to run on?ol what are they going to say to people? if you are going to run on the economy, you've got to run conservative values and they can't do that.ru they want to set up things that they are going to make sure that the general problems that are existential threats and the economic and wage divide, those things have to remain, tucker. it's because of the politics, if you people the u.s. says it is expendable, and, you know, they want their power, their fun, votes, they think we are dumb, and they found in 2016 that we are not. we are the new woke, the ones who are tired of being lied to. >> tucker: very tired. i want to ask you in a piece

that just ran in "the atlantic," at one point was a venerable magazine and now obviously a joke. but the piece declared war on air conditioning, "the new york times" published a big story on the history of ac. on twitter, a writer responded by saying air-conditioning is a sexist tool to the patriarchy. she tweeted this, "air conditioning is unhealthy, bad, miserable, and sexist. people disagreed, she called them sexist. let me just say i hate air-conditioning. i'm kind of with her on that. but sexist? how is it sexist? >> you know, the patriarchy is so strong they've all colluded and made it sure that every building in america is going to be too cold for women. when you've got that kind of power, i'm wondering why they are allowing women in the offices at all. right? here's the other issue. if they are that powerful -- tucker, they are making it too cold for women in the summer but they are not doing it in the t winter. wouldn't that be the best time

to freeze women out of the office place? i'm very confused because i'm a simple woman and it's embarrassing, of course. we heard this, first, you will recall that cynthia nixon running to be the governor of new york and she didn't win. but she brought it up that s its the most sexist thing in the world and women do dress differently than men, but therex is a solution to this. first of all, it's not a plot. m it's not some weird conspiracy plot that they keep accusing republicans of andir conservatives. it would require putting on a cardigan. i'm thinking that maybe they did not get cold in the winter because they are wearing heavier clothes. the sexist thing here is this argument like this young woman made from "the atlantic" that it's because she gets sick and it just highlights how the left and especially if you're a immersed in identity politics, t

you don't think of anybody but yourself.d because air-conditioning makes life worth living. charles cooke over at "national review" reminded us in 2003, the summer of 2003, almost 15,000 french people died because of the heat and it affects, of course, the elderly. c the infirm. and here in america, the poor, of course, the southern poor relying on air-conditioning in order to actually live. but that young woman, because -- i guess she didn't want to tell anybody to replace the filters in the air conditioning, maybe she wouldn't get sickk and god forbid should we have to on occasion wear a blazer so we do not get nailed by the air conditioning. it's worth thinking beyond ourselves when you are in a large office, not everyone is going to be happy. you are going to have to adapt and compromise sometimes, god forbid. but i think we can, the sexist argument though and behavior is in this presumption that you are a child and everybody has got to

listen to you and you've got to have everything exactly perfect for you. that's the sexist behavior and maybe some of these young women will realize that, that being independent and taking care of your environment and adapting gives you more power or more control over your environment in the long run. just a thought. >> tucker: malignant narcissism, you introduced me to and i think of it every day. a >> that's exactly what this is. >> tucker: tammy, great to see you tonight. >> thank you, sir. >> tucker: no person in this country has benefited more from american generosity than ilhan omar. instead of being grateful,en though, she is bitter. she hates this country. it says a lot about our current immigration system and we'll explain how after the break. by the way, if you love me talking about on the show, you can come see what it's all about live. there are tickets to special audience events at maryland and pennsylvania. you can find tickets to the website, tuckercarlson.com. we will be right back.

♪ >> tucker: the democratic candidates for president on the road this week telling voters that the united states is anor awful country. america's institutions are built on white supremacy, squeaked beto o'rourke at an event yesterday. of all the lies these people to tell, and there are many, this is the most absurd. in fact, the united states is the kindest, most open-minded place on the planet. the u.s. has done more for other people and received less in return than any nation in history by far.in americans like to help. it makes us feel good. some of our deepest satisfactiou as a country comes from watching penniless immigrants arriving on our shores, buy into our values, and thrive. we call it the american dream and nothing makes us prouder. it was in that spirit that in 1992, the united states welcomed 10-year-old ilhan omar and her family. omar was born in somalia, one oa the world's poorest countries,

then ruled by a marxist military dictatorship. when she was six, she and her parents and siblings fled a civil war and wound up at a refugee camp in kenya. they spent four years until america offered the family asylum here and let them settle in minneapolis. omar's father drove a taxi then got a job at the post office working for the government. omar, meanwhile, grew up free in the world's richest country with all the bounty that implies. she became a citizen, and went to work for the state university. a few years later she became a member of congress, elected by voters who were proud to see an immigrant succeed. omar is now at the age of only s 36 one of the most powerful women in america. it's an amazing story, really. only in this country could it have happened. ilhan omar has an awful lot to be grateful for. but she isn't grateful, not at all. after everything america has done for omar and for her family, she hates this country more than ever. in a recent piece in "the washington post," the reporter put it this way, "in

omar's version, america isn't the bighearted country that saved her from a brutal war and a bleak refugee camp. it wasn't a meritocracy that helped her attend college or vaulted her into congress. instead, it was the country that had failed to live up to its founding ideals, a place that has disappointed her and so many immigrants, refugees, and minorities like her." if anything, that is an understatement. omar isn't disappointed in america. a she's enraged by it. virtually every public statement she makes accuses americans of bigotry and racism. this is an immoral country, she says. she has undisguised contempt for the united states and for its people. that should worry you, not just because omar is a sitting member of congress. ilhan omar is living proof thate the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to thises country.ro a system designed to strengthen america is instead undermining it. some of the very people we try hardest to help have come to hate us passionately. maybe that is our fault for

asking too little of our immigrants. we aren't self-confident enough to make them assimilate so they never feel fully american. or maybe the problem is deeper than that. maybe we are importing people from places whose values are simply antithetical to ours. who knows what the problem is but there is a problem and whatever that because this cannot continue.e. it's not sustainable. no country can import large numbers of people who hate it and expect to survive. the romans were the last to try that with predictable results. so be grateful for ilhan omar, annoying as she is. she's a living fire alarm, a warning to the rest of us. we better change our immigration system immediately or else. we want to end tonight with some good news. last night we toldt you about ed henry and his decision to save his sister's life by donating some of his liver. we are happy to report, thrilled to report, that the surgery has taken place. it was a success. they are both now recovering. godspeed to both of them. ed and his sister will be grateful when he is back here at
