government s relationship with these companies? tucker, thanks for having me on. i certainly hope. so i mean, it s time that congress got serious about protecting the privacy, the data, the p personal confidential information of hundreds of millions of americans. and to see this report today that facebook has allowed these big tech companies, amazon, microsoft, spotify, netflix to have access to the personal information of users, after facebook said that it would not allow, it would not give away users personal data is really extraordinary and, look, it s time congress did something about it, it s time the ftc did something about it.s tucker: you often hear people say congress can t actually act to regulate these companies because its members are too old and they can t understand technology.hn i will freely admit i don t understand technology at all. i try not to participate in it at any level, and yet the abuses are so obvious to me. it doesn t really sound like a very good excus
but not everybody is so limited. we learn that today when one cable host used a slur to describe a member of the trump administration. why doesn t mike pompeo care right now? are the pathetic deflections d that we just heard when he appeared on fox & friends, is that a patriot speaking? or one of theri dictators butt boy? i m dead serious, i m asking. are these the words of a patriot? tucker: so the anchor apologized for that remark. but the question is will she be punished? of course we don t think she should be punished. she was saying what she thinks or she misspoke, it happens to everybody.y. she shouldn t be sanctioned for that, but neither should kevin hart.y. the left now has a long history is the only faction enjoying impunity for what it says. you talk like a sign language for a lot that got hit in the head.
story and i hope that a lot of people watch the segment. thank you for telling us what happened in your experience there. remarkable. you re welcome, good to be with you. tucker: thanks. thank you. professor of african-american studies at the university of maryland and a frequent guest on the show, professor, thank you very much for coming on. you just are the kind of amazing story. i didn t know that.n tel aviv, 55,000 illegal immigrants working there, working class residents of the towns said crime is going up. governor of israel builds a wall to keep the aliens out and no one in this country says anything. is that immoral? i think there are lots of big differences between israel and the united states. first of all, we know that crime has gone down in the united states steadily since 1991. immigrants commit both legal and undocumented, commit fewer crimes than americans like you and i. tucker: i don t think that number is true.
ever come up with, that isgl of course building a wall along our southern border with mexico. watch. the president went to the m heart of what i call his brown menace theory. these migrants, they are dirty people. c they bring disease. this border wall thing is about controlling the browning of america. donald trump is fixated on the southern border as he was the day he announced his campaign. it is not about securing the border, it is about xenophobic, racist, bigoted leafs. tucker: that couldn t be clearer. border walls are racist. we know that. unlike border fences. border fences are not racist. they are much easier to climb over and that s why democrats have repeatedly voted to fund them. if you could have lots of border fences and still wind up with 22 million illegal aliens living in the country. we have proved that conclusively over the years. fences are the perfect solution if you re trying to pretend that you care about border security
problem. the more we can do to innovate the more we can help try to solve this problem. but ridiculing people is not going to work. tucker: by the way, if you really believed that climate change is all that matters and you re flying on a private plane, you need to really look in the mirror and think deeply. do you think that a carbon tax will become a component of the debate in the next election? i not only think that a carbon tax will be a component. i think it will become a litmus test for democratic candidates trying to seek the 2020 democratic nomination for president and they ve got to be careful about that. the departed charles krauthammer, very conservative. understood these things very well. the thing is that economists love a carbon tax. it s very transparent, it s very direct. politicians hate a carbon tax for that very same reason. there might be some good reasons to actually do a carbon tax if you work to reduce taxes in another way.ax that was charles krauthammer s
