Old fashion. They are medieval or ancient depending who is reading the talking point at the time. Some of the arguments are semireal. Others are transparently fake. Still others flatly contradict one another. Rhetorically the democratic case against walls has been a mask from the beginning. At one point House Speaker nancy pelosi tried to bring order to the chaos flatly declaring that walls are immoral. She said that repeatedly with the force of religious edict in effect it was. But in the end the theology of it all was too complex and it seemed to confuse people. How can walls be immoral if a lot of those who oppose walls have walls around their own homes . That was a tough case to make. Even for a persistent faithleader like nancy pelosi. Finally pelosi just gave up. Yesterday she accepted the inevitably of a border wall. But here is the catch. The hidden trap door in these space time continuum that pelosi is famous for in washington. Yes, democrats now support a border wall. But no, its not the kind of wall you had in mind. The kind of wall you can touch. Or the wall that might keep unwanted people out of your country. Its instead a digital wall. A massive, invisible edifice constructed of virtual 1s and 0s that reside in some amazon server farm somewhere in suburban virginia. Its the wall of the future, in other words. A wall that google might build and probably will. Pelosi calls it a technological wall. House Speaker Pelosi what we are proposing is to build the infrastructure of the ports of entry. Strengthen that. The ports of entry. Spend the money. Hundreds of millions of dollars but have the scanning technology to scan cars coming through for drugs, contraband of any kind. Weapons even. Repair the roads, facilitate immigration and trade in those regions. The positive, shall we say, almost technological wall that can be built is what we should be doing. Tucker of course a technological wall. Why didnt we think of that . But wait, you say. Arent all walls technological walls . The only difference, of course; is in the kind of technology they employ . Well, yes. But before you get hung up on a semantic point be grateful that pelosi is using the w word at all. There was a time not long ago telling us a friete of lawnmowers would be enough to secure the border. House Speaker Pelosi lets talk about where a experience structure will do, or mowing the grass so people cant be smuggled through the grass. Tucker at a certain point you begin to wonder if democrats are as serious as they say they are about wanting to secure the border. Maybe you asked yourself that question. Well, wonder no more. They are not interested. Officially. Democrats support our immigration crisis. Which they will be quick to remind you isnt actually a crisis at all but part of the poem of the basis of the statue of liberty. The main interest is continuing the status quo. They want to do that and make sure certain no effective barrier is ever built along the southern border. To achieve that, democrats and the faithful lackies in the press will say anything, literally anything. Yesterday, to name one among million examples democrat katie hill of congress, accused trump of terrorism for disagree with her. Its frustrating every day to see how irrationm he irrational he is. We cant accept it anymore. Its political terrorism. Tucker terrorism . Maybe thats next week talking point. Check the sunday shows to see if it makes an appearance there. This week the phrase was vanity project. The wall, they are telling you, is somehow the president s vanity project like remodeled basement rec room or the clinton president ial library. Some consultant thought up the line and emailed it to pelosi and schumer who made sure every democrat in washington included it in every publicly uttered stense for a period of at least sentence for period of 24 hours which they were happy to do being robots. Watch. Construction brigade for the president s vanity project. It doesnt necessarily require our building of vanity project, concrete wall. For one thing this is a vanity wall. The president is holding it up as his vanity project. The president of the yates has a vanity project that he doesnt want to give up. This is not on the president s vanity project. This issue is about a vanity project for this president. Tucker vanity well, that is a new concern in washington. As it turns out vanity is the main reason the left loves Mass Immigration in the first place. They let millions of poor people in to your country at your expense. But they get to feel like heroes for doing it. Its really the equivalent of forcing a stranger to dump his water in the collection plate at gunpoint and taking the Tax Deduction for it. Its a great deal if youre holding the gun. You might call it the ultimate vanity project. Our guest is a former agent. What do you make of this. The technological wall, the vanity project. You have spent your life policing our borders. Do we need physical wall, an actual wall . Well, tucker, i have to say this is personal. I have worked in mexico. I have worked on the border. Born and raised there. I was attacked and agent cepata lost his life while we were in assignment in mexico. I know that this is real and the crisis is real. The border wall is very much needed. This is a physical barrier that will help our Border Agents down there. Help them just like the other technology would help them. The drones, the sensors. All the other technology that comes along the border, the border wall is just another tool that will help them do that. Its much needed so they can focus on the areas where that traffic is going to be infiltrated to. Tucker so in the shooting you referred to, you were hit three times. You were shot three times by a member of a mexican drug cartel. Yes. Tucker how do you, as someone who went through that, what is your response when you hear member of congress, congressional leaders saying there is no crisis at all and were imagining it and in fact its racist to say there is a crisis at the border. How do you respond . The crisis is real. I lived it and worked it. Especially the racist comment is unreal. Mexico now is looking to start to control their own southern border by sending their own federal troops down to the guatemala and belize border because theyre feeling the impact of the immigrants coming through their country. So are they going to be racist as well . So its absurd to think that it makes it a racist statement because, or it makes you a racist because you want a wall. Let me tell you what is immoral. What is immoral is the exploitation of the asylum laws. Congress needs to shut down and redo the asylum laws and legislation. Give you an example. If an adult person comes in to the country with a minor child and presents themselves to the Border Patrol, and turns themselves in seeking asylum, if that adult person has a criminal history and is known to have a criminal history, Border Patrol will have to still admit that person in with the child. Even though that person is now inadmissible to come in the country, we have to allow them to come in with the child to seek, to wait for the asylum hearing two or three years from now and well never hear from that person. Maybe that adult person is or not the parent of the child. Well never know what happens to the child as well. So there is a real crisis at the border happening right now. Tucker have you spoken to the speaker of the house nancy pelosi or the Democratic Leaders as they formulated their position in the debate over the border wall . Has anyone talked to you . No but i would love to. There is a major disconnect between washington and congress and what is going down in real life and the border. It would be so effective to have them just at least go down there and not just for the photo op or for a tenminute walk where there is an actual wall that actually works thanks to jim acosta. But to actually learn what the real crisis is down there. Not today, tucker. This has been going on for decades. This is just now the influx. I talked to the Border Patrol agents and they tell me they want this response to go forward with the wall. They are so afraid if this doesnt go through they cant imagine the influx of Illegal Immigrants going through because theyll send the wrong message. Tucker yeah. I cant imagine how you feel. If i was shot three times by a drug cartel and watched my partner murder and someone called me a racist because i wanted a wall, i dont know how you remain so calm but im impressed that you do. Thank you for joining us, victor avila and for what you had to say. Thank you for having me. Tucker thanks. As you deduce by now democrats using every rhetorical weapon they can to stop the border wall. Washington democrat premia suggested that the president s ultimate goal in all of this ethnic cleansing. Watch. There is a cluster of people in the Republican Party who catapulted trump to his win in the primaries who hate and or fear immigrants. Not only that, these are people who define their political life by stemming and stopping the invasion of the people who do not look like them. What they want is not policy. What they want is an ethically pure america. You just said it so beautifully, chris. This has never been about a wall. His ultimate goal is as you said to make america pure in the sense of not having immigrants not having folks of color here and shutting down every form of legal immigration. Tucker chris hahn radio host and former staffer for chuck schumer. Thank you for coming on. Anytime. I dont know if you saw the interview preceding this one, with the i. C. E. Former agent victor avila. He is in favor of a physical wall. He is being dismiss and others like him are being dismissed as racist because they disagree with the democratic orthodoxy on this. Isnt it time to pull back and assess this as a policy question and stop accusing anyone who disagrees of bigotry . Look, i dont think that he is a racist. I dont tucker thats generous. I dont think people who want increased Border Security are necessarily racist. Some people may be in some cases but not all. I think we need to have a real conversation about what real Border Security is. We talked about it. I believe we should use technology at the border. In some places the physical barrier is needed. But in most places, the thousand miles the president is saying seems irrational. Tucker how can we have rationm conversation about anything when we have member of congress saying wanting the barrier is equivalent to ethnic cleansing . It shuts down any ability i get so mad walking that clip i can barely talk. Its so unfair. Shouldnt we ask people like that to be responsible and some talking like to so we can solve the problem . I think there is a Certain School of thought that the talk of the wall is stoke part of the base, keep part of the base with the president who believes in this xenophobic idea of keeping people invading the country. That language doesnt help but if they want to have a rational conversation about the Border Security the president should reopen the government with a deal he made in december, before he pulled it back and bring everybody to the table and we can talk all about the options. Tucker we are going to call you hitler and accuse anyone who believes this thing of being racist, the one thing you are not allowed to be in america until you cede our demands. If you believe we need to decelerate the rhetoric, why not just start . Why not say we are not going to acause people with no evidence of White Supremacy or whatever the crime is, we are going to talk about what will secure the border . Lets start there. Cant we . Look. I dont hear leader schumer or Speaker Pelosi calling the president and his supporters racist. I hear them saying tucker nancy pelosi and then well talk. Tucker really . Nancy pelosi described the wall as immoral. That is what she is saying. That is insane. Now she is for a wall. You are hung up on that. We had this conversation last week. Tucker i never heard anybody talk about that way in american politics. You you disagree with me and god is mad at you now . Even Jerry Falwell didnt talk that way. Its insane. Again, i dont think she meant it as immoral in the religious sense. She doesnt have command over her faculties, which im beginning to suspect. I think she has excellent mend of her faculties and a better leader than we have seen. Either she knows what she is saying or she doesnt. I give her the benefit of the doubt but if she knows what she is saying she should be ashamed because you shouldnt inject that language in political discussion. Let me ask about the technological wall. Ive been calling for it. Tucker it would include drone surveillance. Ive been calling for it. Tucker maybe you dont know, we have a species of that. Over the giant der rivables over the mexican border. It doesnt work. What would it look like exactly. Drone hovering over illegal aliens trying to sneak in the country, sees them coming in and what happens that is better than the wall . You deploy the Border Patrol. If you dont waste 25 billion on a wall you can hire more agents like the guy on before who are brave and doing their job. Instead he wants to waste money on a wall and we wont have the manpower to staff it. By the way, tucker, if you call tucker what you are saying doesnt make sense. You are saying we wont have the manpower it makes perfect sense. Tucker you just said by the way, the agent, the brave one you complimented is calling for a wall. But i guess his opinion doesnt matter. He is not a policy maker. Tucker yet another spanishspeaking racist. You are just saying, because im a literal person, you are saying that it would require more manpower to, staff a wall than it would yeah. Tucker to protect the border with no wall . Walk me through the math on that, if you would. As i said to you before, you probably would need to have a guard every 150 feet on a wall to make sure it wasnt impenetrable. So when they use example of the peoples home and other places with walls, prison, they are out of their mind. We are talking about thousands of miles of wall. It did not work for the chinese. It will not work for us. The great wall of trump is not needed and its a colossal waste of money. Tucker last question. Would you be willing to predict that the technological wall that the speaker is promising us instead of an actual wall would prevent a substantial number of illegal aliens from entering the country . We dont know how many but say 400,000 made it across last year. That seems to be a number people throw around. What would the number be if the drones were deployed, do you think . Or do you care . I think that a technological wall would be as effective as physical border. Tucker what is the number . Be specific if you would . I dont know. 75 of the number. Tucker ill get a calculator. I think a wall, eventually remember, tucker, most people come here illegally come through the ports of entry. Most drugs come through ports of entry. We need to work on securing those things. Im sure well work real hard. Work real hard. This is a charade. You know it is. Were out of time. Good to see you. Chris hahn. Thanks. Nice to see you. Tucker cnn told us yesterday that walls dont work. Whatever that guys name is down there. To prove it, they tried to get a reporter but when he wouldnt, they didnt want him. This is an amazing story. We have details on what cnn did after the break. If you have psoriasis, Little Things can be a big deal. Thats why theres otezla. Otezla is not a cream. Its a pill that treats moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis differently. With otezla,75 clearer skin is achievable. Dont use if youre allergic to otezla.

Otezla. Show more of you. Tucker well, local news station san diego accusing cnn, the cable news network, of rejecting a report by them because it didnt reach a preapproved conclusion about the effectiveness of a border wall. Trace gallagher is following the story and joins us tonight. Hey, trace. The news director steve cohen says he was notified in yesterdays morning meeting that cnn wanted to use one of their reporters for a live hit about the border wall in the don lemon show. Cohen said fine and offered them reporter dan plant. Im from san diego and i have seen dan many times. He is very solid. But steve cohen told his executive producer to make sure cnn realizes they wont deliver their narrative, that the wall is controversial in san diego because its not. In fact, kusi owner Mike Mccannon wellknown supporter of conservative causes later noted were continually told that the border helps prevent illegal drugs, entries from the u. S. And numbers prove it. Cnn decided not to use a kusi reporter. But then the news director saw cnn correspondent jim acosta at the border saying there is no need for a wall. Steve cohen decided to have his anchors present the kusi perspective. Watch. Cnn declined to have us on their programs which often present the wall as nonrequired in other places like the stretch of the texas border the president visited earlier today. They didnt like what they heard from us. Cnn calls this a nonstory saying, we called several local stations to book someone for a show. We didnt end up booking any of them. That happens many times every single day. Kusi says its possible cnn didnt need a reporter but given the scenario, it believes the Cable Network is being disingenuous. Tucker trace, great to see you. Thank you. We saw the story and we thought who better to talk to than chris plant, syndicated radio host with west wood one. Widely acknowledged genius and the brother of the san diego journalist you just heard about and a longtime veteran of cnn. So he joins us tonight and were happy to have him. Hey, chris. How are you . All of those things. Sounds impressive. Tucker you really are the perfect person. What are the lessons of the story . What does it tell us . That cnn lies a lot. That is the bottom line. They were looking for a local reporter who was going to tow the line and say what cnn wanted to hear. Some person at cnn, probably a young person, called kusi and asked for a reporter. Then they heart, well, you know, they are going to say that the Border Patrol people tell them the wall has a positive effect, the barriers and the fences, whatever you like to call it. Then they said thank you. If this were a dating situation, speed date, everybody would recognize that cnn dropped them because they werent going to offer what cnn wanted to hear. We know what cnn wants to hear because we hear it every minute of every hour of every show. Its very consistent. This would if someone came unsapped what we are hearing in san diego and my brother has been covering the border and san diego for years and years. There are many Great Stories on al gores amazing internet that you can see. They wanted a different perspective than what my brother as a News Reporter just a straight News Reporter. My brother is not an idealogue. He is a news guy. But he wasnt going to spout the Democrat Party line. And cnn took a pass. No thanks. I say there is no elfed, there is no evidence now the Associated Press is in it, and cnn saying there is no evidence that cnn spiked the story for that reason. There was no evidence that Brett Kavanaugh put quaaludes in the punch bowl and gang raped girl in high school but cnn reported that several hundred thousand times if i remember correctly. Tucker i noticed. I thought of you yesterday. Cnn undercut its own story line unintentionally by sending their most brilliant correspondent down to mcallen, texas, who did this now famous standup explaining that the wall doesnt work because it creates too peaceful a scene. Back at headquarters in new york, what did the editors think when they saw this . Who told jim acosta hurt his own propaganda . They were probably thinking it was great. They put it on the air. It wasnt live. He sent it in. And they aired it because they thought it would prove the point for them. Really, this speaks to the bubble that they live in and the fact that they are just once twitter exploded and mocked him, then i think in new york and they were saying wait a minute. Maybe we should have looked at this with a slightly different angle. Then they sent him to another place along the rio grande there is no fence. He said people are playing shuffleboard, as if this were photograph of his original point. Its sad really. Tragic. Its horrible. Cnn, you used to work at cnn before for a time. Tucker i did. I still have friends there. But they wont admit that you are friends and you shouldnt name them here. Tucker im not going to. It would be fatal to their careers. We know this. If you say my good friend, you know, steve, at cnn if i said that on my radio show, i know i would be jeopardizing steves future at cnn. I know this. Its that bad. It was a News Organization. It is simply not anymore. Its just Cable Television station that parrots the Democratic Party line. Its sand tragic. I feel badly for the few good people that still work there. Tucker really quick. I agree with your analysis. In one sentence what happened, what changed . To cnn . Tucker yes. Boy, john klein who is the president there. But it started before him. Cnn was a pretty good News Organization and they started to bring in abc people. Rick caplan. You remember when he came in. You have to change the subject every 15 seconds. Short Attention Span theater. We cant focus on anything for too long. Tucker i remember i remember. They are corporatey. Tucker i will never forget. The anticorporate argument when it comes to cnn and time warner that the left make is true. It actually applies at cnn that they have become too greedy and too corporatey and too bottom line. Its about the revenues and not journalism. Its just because tv station. Cable station. Tucker depressing. Chris plante, great to see you tonight. Thank you for that. Thanks. Tucker new wave of democratic lawmakers taking office this month. They have ambitious plans to do a lot of things including take your guns away. They are not hiding it this time. Dan bongino joins us to weigh in on that next. Tucker bringing back with a fox news alert. The Broward County sheriff scott israel has been suspended from his post for incompetence by the new governor of florida ron desantis. Other than the School Shooter nikolas cruz himself, israel may deserve most of the blame for the death of the 17 people at Stoneman Douglas high school last year. The report by the state found israels deputies were poorly trained, had malfunctioning radios and took cover rather than trying to confront cruz and save lives. Israel vowed to fight his suspension in the court and demanding a trial before the Florida State senate. Well continue to monitor the story as it unfolds. Well, the parkland shooting last year was seized by the left, which would like to seek even stricter gun laws. Now theyre doing that. In oregon, proposed bill would ban owners buying more than 20 rounds. With no grandfather clause so anyone who fails to turn in a high capacity magazine, meaning six rounds or above, would be a criminal under the new law. Dan bongino, the former nypd officer and author of spy gate and he joins us tonight. This law is a departure because the first effect is to turn lawabiding citizens who have committed no violence and turn them to criminals by definition. What is the point of that . Yes, you are right. The ireasonny of it all is irony is criminals does care about the gun laws. That is what makes them criminals. Another i spent two decades in Law Enforcement. We watch the prisoner and take them to precinct and hold them before they go to booking. I talked to people who were arrest and there were people arrested for the gun crimes. This is a true story. Carrying guns is illegal in new york without a license, criminal possession of a weapon. I remember theyd look at me and they are like are you crazy . Do you think we care about the gun laws . They look at you like what planet are you from . Criminals dont care. One more thing. You know what they they love gun laws because they stop lawabiding people from getting guns so the criminals can prey upon you like the sheep you become when the government disarms you. Tucker so this law particularly is so provocative and such an open act of aggression and hostility toward the lawabiding americans what is the effect of this going to be . There are many, many thousands of people who own firearms. Any gun with a magazine almost certainly has more than a fiveround capacity. So all of them are now felons . What is the effect of passing a law like that . Seriously. Keep in mind this criminal standard capacity magazines. Tucker exactly right. The democrats love their talking points. They say oh, high capacity magazines. These are not high capacity magazines they are criminalizing. These are standard run of the mill magazines that have been in circulation in the United States for decades upon decades. This effectively criminalizes laulabiding, parents looking to secure their homes and in some cases we saw with ridiculous proposal in new york, excuse me in new jersey, even potentially offduty Police Officers who accidentally have their duty magazines with them offduty before they had to look into this debacle. This is a disaster. This will do nothing. Criminals, this will create lucrative black market for criminals to traffic in ammunition. A new law you cant buy more than a certain amount of rounds in a few days. Do you think the criminals care about this . You enrich street criminals that create black market out of it. They dont care about your gun laws. Full stop. They dont care. They are just going to criminalize the lawabiding. Tucker this is a reckless thing even to propose i would say. Dan bongino, thank you very much for the perspective. Yes, sir. Tucker well, the u. S. Senate as an institution, the body itself has been denounced by the atlantic magazine and piece is written by the liberal so you know what conclusion was. The senate is racist. Why . Smaller states have proportionally more white people in them and it argues that the senate signature feature, equal representation for all states, that is why the senate exists should be abolished. Even though the u. S. Constitution forbids this, the piece argues it can in fact be done without a constitutional amendment. Lindsey marshall is radio show host and joins us tonight. Thank you for coming on. How exactly is the u. S. Senate just by its structure racist . Well, if you look at the composite of the United States and you could say sexist as well if you want to go on the theory of the article, the senate doesnt properly represent the United States because as you had mentioned of the small states having two senators as every state does of the 50. And the small states actually have if you break it down statistically larger representation. What you have then is you have white men representing less white nation as we go forward. We dont see hispanic or the africanamerican or the female population represented in the diversity we see most recently elected in the house and the midterms as an example. We dont have that in the senate. Tucker okay. But the senate, we made it 250 years with the senate organized this way. I was organized this way by design. I dont think the framers imagined a country where the small states had white majority and the other states wouldnt. Its not a racial question is it . Why make it one . The racial component is fair to look at and to ask but it goes beyond that. We need to look at did the framers, did the framers know or have any idea, certainly not, not only how large we would become. What the numbers would be as a nation. But what the diversity would be. That goes hand in hand. We have made changes to the constitution in the past. You can actually abide by the constitution, tucker, keeping two senators per state and then adding to that based on population. Which you know the framers at one time considered as well, before they wrote the final piece. Tucker you know as well as i do this is a power grab by the left. I dont think it will ever happen. But i wonder if it will take the principles seriously. What do you make of gavin newsom . The argument is people cant be represented unless they look like them and have the same d. N. A. , the same race. Nonwhite state, nonwhite majority elected a white guy governor. Why should he be allowed to be governor of a state not majority white . Im serious. Im serious as well. I dont accept the argument you are putting forth. I dont believe that only a woman can represent me as a woman. Tucker i thought thats what you were saying. I agree with you, of course i dont agree with that either. I would never argue that. No. No. No. What im saying is to properly represent all americans, so if you look at the constitution, it gives us political equality. Individuals, citizens, not states political equality, the individual and citizen. We dont feel the vote counts. Why . Each and every individual in this nation, because not each and every individual in this nation feels they are represented, whether its tucker hold on. You are dodging you are making the same argument you did the first time. I got it right, i think. Diversity, whatever that means, is like critical factor in the political fairness. You guys in california just elected gavin newsom. Who does not by any standard represent the state. Its not majority white. Its not majority male. You elected a white male. So why should he be allowed to be governor . Why is that not a racist act electing gavin newsom . Im serious. Because he is a liberal . That is what i said. Well, it doesnt to do with just your skin color. It also has to do with what legislation do you want to put forth that will be in the best interest of the people in the state of california . He obviously mirrors and echoes the sentiments of the ideology of the majority of the people that voted for the governor and tucker why has no one complained about this. I just notice we are all very, we need to look like the people we represent but like bill de blasio represents the city that looks nothing like him. Were okay with that because he is liberal . Why does no one accuse why shouldnt bill de blasio step down today in the name of diversity and let his wife run the city . Im not joking. If you look at bill de blasios family, his family is the new american diversity. His wife is africanamerican. His children are biracial. So i think actually that was a good example to put forth. Tucker but the patriarchy is still in charge. His wife is not the mayor of new york city. But you are making tucker the white guy is the mayor of new york city youre messing mixing up color and number. Tucker no, i dont mix up color. I wish we had more time. I talked myself to being concerned about this. Maybe you will come back and explain why its okay for him to be mayor. The reason the left brings it up is because of the numbers which you and i talked about before. Tucker they bring it up as a political issue to beat the other side. Its great to see you. You too. Tucker the left has a brand few solution for fighting crime. Just change the laws and make it legal. We support the new trend of accepting socalled survival crimes. Thats probably a phrase you havent heard. Well introduce you to it after the break. Buckle your seat belts. One hour pickup order . Got it. Ran out of ink and i have a big meeting today and 2 boxes of twizzlers. Yeah, uh. For the team. The team . Gooo team. Order online pickup in an hour and, now buy one hp ink get one 30 off at Office Depot Officemax tucker this is a fox news alert. The New York Times reporting in 2017, the f. B. I. Opened an investigation in to whether President Trump was secretly a russian agent. Trace gallagher is following the report for us tonight. Trace . Yeah, just came out, the times is reporting in the days President Trump fired james comey, the days after as the f. B. I. Director, Law Enforcement officials became so concerned about the president s behavior they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of russia. In other words whether the president s actions constituted a threat to National Security. And whether trump unwittingly had fallen under moscows influence. Now, the reasons given, the first was a letter mr. Trump wanted to send mr. Comey about his firing but never did. In which he mentioned the russia investigation. In the letter. The second reason being that troubled investigators was an mnbc news interview two days after comeys firing where mr. Trump appeared to have said he dismissed comey because of the russian inquiry. The investigation also reportedly looked in the public allegations of whether firing comey amounted to obstruction of justice. We all know that. The report says the f. B. I. Agents had grown suspicious of trumps ties to russia during that 2016 campaign. But held off opening an investigation because of the sensitivity of the situation. Of course, days later, special Counsel Robert Mueller took over the inquiry. And now its apparently part of muellers broader assessment. Of course, no evidence has come out publicly that mr. Trump was secretly in contact or took direction from the russian government in any way and there is no word of sourcing on the story. We should note that Rudy Giulianis a issued a statement saying, the fact that it goes back a year and a half and nothing came of it, that showed a breach of National Security means they found nothing. And giuliani sid said that a short time ago regarding the story. Well get breaking news as it comes in. More on this from the New York Times. Tucker . Tucker trace gallagher, thank you for that. So if you are keeping track at home and get a pen and paper because this is worth remembering. This is why you should never criticize the f. B. I. You think its your birthright as an american. You can do it. I wouldnt try it, though. They might open an investigation into you without your knowledge into something appalling. Maybe its beating your wife or dealing fentanyl to kids or betraying your country with vladimir putin. You dont have to have done it. But two years later they can leak they were investigating you for a crime they didnt commit or they found no evidence you committed and they never charged you for it. The way the system is supposed to work. It doesnt matter because youre instantly discredited. Dont criticize the f. B. I. Very unwise. If you live in a major American City like San Francisco or washington you may have noticed things arent as nice as they used to be. There is more trash in the streets. There may be tents on the street corners. Those are homeless camps. Some of them are permanent. Petty crime is much more of a threat. This is a big change. Its not an accident. Its by design. There is a new concept on the academic left called, survival crimes. They are supposedly committed by the poor and their struggle to survive in the country. In response to the existence of the survival crimes the left is now not calling them crimes. They are decriminalizing some of the behaviors entirely. Chris derusso is the director of the documentary foundation and joins us tonight. Thank you for coming on. I never heard the phrase before. Survival crimes. Have i characterized it correctly and what are the implications for the rest of us . You have. Survival crime theory is the idea that vulnerable population such as the homeless should be exempt from laws against public camping, public drug consumption and theft because in Effect Society has forced them to commit the crimes to ensure their basic survival. This idea is percolating in obscure academic journals since the late 1980s. But now its become Public Policy in major american cities. In seattle some of the member of the socialist ash vist class have now basically created a policy regime in accordance with survival crime theory. The results are catastrophic. But now in king county have more than 6,000 people sleeping on the streets. And my contacts in Law Enforcement tell me there is the explicit and the implicit directive to basically let this happen. And at this point the city of seattle, property crime rate is 250 higher than los angeles. And eyepopping 400 higher than new york city. Tucker so what this really is a guilt transfer, isnt it . It used to be when someone made your life worse, made your neighborhood ugly or stole from you, it was that persons fault. But this new definition transfers the responsibility to you, the lawabiding homeowner. All of a sudden its your fault, its societys fault so you cant do anything about it, correct . This is i think what the biggest danger for this social justice policing is that slowly in cities like seattle we are creating parallel Justice Systems. There is one traditional Justice System for taxpaying, middle class citizens and totally separate system for politically favored identity groups. I think this has potential to undermine the core principle of equal protection under the law. Tucker i mean, at a certain point are people going to start to say i dont want to live around people who victimize ordinary americans, the homeless encampment and i dont want to live around the politicians that make the homeless encampment possible . Arent nar mall people going to leave normal people going to leave . I wouldnt live around that on a dare. Seattle is a great city but everywhere you go there are homeless encampment. Even in my neighborhood within a block of a Public Elementary School. There has been a homeless encampment with up to 50 people doing drugs, committing crimes and causing chaos. A block away from a Public Elementary School since last summer. There has been no response from the City Government despite hundreds of complaints over months and months and months. I think we are reaching a point where normal everyday taxpaying citizens are fed up. This government by ideology that is totally blind to the impact that its having on real citizens is hopefully going to start to face some consequences as we move forward with the municipal elections later this year. Tucker this isnt even blind. Act of aggression. When they treat you this way, they are saying we hate you. I dont know the other message. Christopher, thank you. That is so interesting and sad at the same time. Good to know. I appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Happy friday. Tucker happy friday. Well, robots pose a threat to tens of millions of american jobs. Washington doesnt care. What can you do to protect your own wellbeing . Thats next. Tucker last night on the show, we discussed Artificial Intelligence to american jobs, it is profound paired the leaders are ignoring that threa. Washington is not going to help you, that is for sure, they are making it worse. You are on your own on this one, so what can individuals do to survive an economy that is devaluing labor, and in a lot of cases making it obsolete . The founder and ceo of praxis, and he joins us tonight, one of our favorite gas. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me. Tucker youve seen the forecast from a lot of different places, a pretty scary one. A huge percentage of american jobs are going away. 22 entering the job market, what is your defense against this . The first thing is what you lead with, to bring it back to what you have control over. Rather than letting yourself get consumed by fear of what will or will not happen in a macro economy, what can i do, personally, what do i have control over . The first thing is, robots, machines, what are they good at . Following rules. Anything that involves a lot of rule following, i wouldnt be investing resources, energy, time, in learning and building those kind of skills. I would be focusing more on rule breaking, innovation, entrepreneurship. That is one of the challenges most of us, the school system, the innovation, the entrepreneurship, it almost gets schooled out of us, because it is all about rule following, learning to do exactly what is on the test. Entrepreneurship in the School Context is called a cheating, creating problemsolving. I think breaking out of that mindset, not looking at it like i need to go and study and get certified and do what i am told, and then i will be able to have a career, but rather, if i want to do something, be the next tucker carlson, go start a podcast, go start a youtube channel, get your hands dirty, experiment, tinker, that is the thing. Tucker that is such a wise point. Im all for following rules, but there is also a downside, and our schools seem to be getting more rigid, less open to creativity. Less open to unorthodox thinkin thinking. That is a bad a trend, then. It is. It is the nature and the structure, a massive system trying to push everybody through, same age group cohorts, you have to think beyond that kind of traditional rule following idea, and youve got to look at the opportunities out there, practice, we work with young people all the time, focus on trying to help them develop skills that are ultimately transferable and in demand no matter watch. The jobs around today, nobody knew these were going to be here 20 years ago, and a same thing is true of the future. We dont know the opportunities there, so it skills that are transferable and adaptable, creative, imaginative, communication skills, the ability to work in teams, to cast a vision, to recruit people behind that vision, the sound like fluffy, soft skills, but honestly, those are the things that are the most uniquely human, and the things that are hardest for machines to replace. I think where you get the most return on your investment. Tucker interesting. You sound a little less worried. Im optimistic by nature. I see the opportunity they are, and i see the young people we work with, they are able to see this. I like investor mike maples said once, i dont want a future where everybody is worried about robots taking their job, i want a future where everybody has their own personal iron man suit. That is the vision i can get behind. Tucker i hope you create one, i could probably use one. It is great to see you. Thank you for that, that was a nice way to end the week. Thanks for having me. Tucker they are being replaced, but the american wealthy are getting richer by the year. We want to put that in context. You might have heard that amazon ceo and overlord of the washington post, jeff bezos, is getting divorced. We will not get any personal drama, obviously, but we will tell you this. The bezos family or chin is 137 billion, the gdp of the country is that means one american divorce overseeing of the countrys entire gdp in the balance. One divorce almost a full percentage point of it gdp, unbelievable. That tells you a lot. We will be back monday, 8 00 p. M. , these show that is the sworn memory of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. Most important. Have a great weekend. Everybody has earned it after a week like this, next week is going to be unbelievable. See you then. Sean welcome to hannity. Nancy pelosi, she refuses to negotiate.
