just counting russia and other post-soviet states, at least 440 clients of high representation here in washington are lobbyists. of course that figure does not include entities that fail to register, as some of the most powerful ones don t and never have registered. nor do these numbers includes the de facto lobbying that takes place by informal networks. that might be the most common, certainly the most insidious kind of lobbying there is. t for example, between 1999-2014, the clinton foundation received more than $10 million from ukrainian sources. is there anyone who was going to claim with a straight face there was no political intent behind that money? the ukrainians are suddenly committed to fighting cholera on childhood obesity?y? spare us. there s a lot more to the story, more than we realize, but here s the bottom line, hostile nations are in fact attacking our democracy. they re doing it with help from congress. it s time for members of congress to come clean and tell us exac
tucker: doesn t accurately reflect how they feel, indeed so many of the people in their position maneuvering the levers of power in our country feel? that s real. that s actually their view, isn t it? i think that s true. you saw that at the press conference today. the nypd is saying you better s not get annoyed with any muslims because we will crackdown on that. you sought in governor cuomo s initial remarks assuring us that this is a lone wolf, nothing to see here. i actually think it s getting worse. i used to joke that allahu akbar was arabic for nothing to see here. i think it s actually involved now. allahu akbar is arabic for nothing can be done. the governor of new york state, the mayor of london, the prime minister of france all basically tell these people, tell their citizens you ve got to get used to being blown up, run over. if you go to a pop concert, you
died last year because we can just import new people willing to work for less, grateful to be her. immigrants have removed anyy incentive for the american ruling class to care about its own people, don t you see that? no, i would say quite the opposite. i would say maybe perhaps it raises the bar when you look at when you go into a classroom at mit for example and say how come we are importing so many students? how come other like china and india have math scores that are just off the charts compared to our own children here in the united o states? it s not just private schools as well. it s not just about tuition. tucker, it s about a culture. tucker: i don t think you ve thought this through. schools are eager to get foreign students because they pay full tuition. the truth is everyone of those spots could be occupied by an american student. these are schools that take billions in federal funds every year. but if not, it s occupied by a foreigner.
tucker: our whole immigratio: system is not so different. we don t with some visa exceptions. we don t screen for skills in the way that most countries do already.y. the large majority of immigrants, something like two-thirds are only brought in because of their family connections. and frankly half of the rest come in because they are related to people who are skilled or something like that. skills really play a very small role and in this visa lottery, literally it s almost anybody in the world. you would mention you have too have a high school diploma, but really what does it take to get a high school diploma and uzbekistan? i m not criticizing the schools, i m talking that you can go around the corner and buy a high school diploma. tucker: you can buy one here. in these many years, in the 27 years this has them all, has nobody said wait a second, this is the greatest country on earth, everyone wants to come here. why are we handing out green cards on the basis of a lottery?
attack last night committed by someone who was admitted under this program. it s very relevant actually in the country is suffering a result of it. it still very much hurting america, but i just wonder why we shouldn t, with every immigrant under any immigration program ask first and foremost how are you going to add to the sum total of this country? why would we let you in? prove that we should let you in. i don t understand that we don t ask that. every other country asks that. i don t agree with that. that is not the case with every single country and it s not the case with every single reason in my opinion that we should have people coming to this nation. quite frankly, then we would have people here saying still f immigrants are taking all of our jobs. we want the best and the brightest, but why are we not looking to make our students and our kids here in america the best and the brightest? tucker: i have the answer to that question. we don t need to.gh we don t need to spend
