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 a
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
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!
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.
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
