have an excuse for not giving it, they say it s because the special counselor mueller. n if special counsel mueller is actually doing was entirely because the fbi misused a dossier, all the more reason for house investigators to be looking at how this started. tucker: it s unbelievable. i will try that on my taxes next year. i just don t feel like paying, sorry.l i m going to pass this year. thank you for that, that was really interesting. we re talking about the tax bill. turns out america hands out billions in tax breaks and illegal immigrants in the companies will employ themt for years. how does that happen and can it be stopped? details on that s next. we ve got auto insurance, homeowners insurance. had an accident with a vehicle, i actually called usaa before we called the police. usaa was there hands-on
tucker: edward is a land owner in a state of louisiana. like most people, it s his land, he would like to use it the way he wants to.o. the federal government hasld stopped him from doing that, and all for the sake of an invisible frog.hi in 2011, he was informed that is 1500 acres have been designated a potential habitat for something, we are not making this up, called the dusky gopher frog. it is not actually live in louisiana, assuming it exists at all. edward joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. thank you for having me. i appreciate it. tucker: did i mistake that, have you ever seen a dusky gopher frog on your property? i ve never seen one, because it s not there and it has not been seen in the whole state of louisiana according to the fish and wildlife service since 1967.
what i said was you are not going to take my land unless you pay me for it, and they won t pay me for it. they have certified through their own economists that the loss of value to us is $34 million, and they refuse to pay for it because it is not a taking legally. tucker: but they want to cut your trees down and burn your land in the name of protecting an extinct frog? a frog that does not live there, and has not been there for many, many, many years,, probably even before 67. what their official literature says is that the frog has not been seen in the entire state of louisiana since 1967, not to mention my land. tucker: just for our viewers at home who might fear they have a dusky gopher frog or two on their property, what is the recourse here? what you do when this happens?
the recourse is you have to go through the motions of going through a show trial, which they call a public hearing, where they gave me 5 minutes to speak, along with a lot of very strange people who got up and talked about the frog might cure cancer one day, and silly things like that. you then have to suffer through a long period of comments. they issued the rule as they said they would, and then you have to sue them in federal court to reverse it, and then if you get an adverse ruling, you take it to the court of appeals. we ve done both of that, and we are now going to the u.s. supreme court in the hopes that they will see common sense and logic, and the fact that this s law does not actually allow that, and hopefully reverse the lower court decisions. tucker: unbelievable, environmentalist want to cut your trees down and burn your land. thank you, and godspeed, we are rooting for you. thanks a lot. thank you very much, tucker.,
to house investigators, but all of this should be the thing i think some people don t understand is that when you were dealing with the foreign intelligence surveillance court, it s not like you put in a request and they say no. it s a back-and-forth discussion. somewhere in the fbi is a big file that explains exactly what the fbi was putting forward to the court as justification to go ahead with the tapping of carter page or paul manafort. tucker: the house oversees the fbi. i don t understand how the fbi can just ignore it. if i get subpoenaed by house investigators, do i just give them the finger and go to barbados? how are they allowed to ignore that? it s a separate problem thatt we have, the house is having trouble more and more with its enforcement authority, and that is in essence what the justice department did. they said we are just not complying with your subpoena for a while. they now appear to be putting some things out, but from what i understand, not everything tha
