Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Tucker Carlson Tonight 20170224

Governor of connecticut has told police they dont have to comply saying that his state has no obligation to cooperate with federal immigration laws, governor malloy joined us now. We promote the segment earlier today i got a time of email from your constituents so i know, some i dont know saying the same thing which is the state is a physical wreck, its massively in debt. The capital city is on the verge of bankruptcy, were laying off teachers, why is the governor focus on this, how does this improve on this . The governor focuses on everything, which created 85,000 jobs in last few years. As i was telling you off the tv, i inherited a mess that my predecessors set up by giving away benefits and not funding longterm obligations. You dig yourself out of these things slowly. Connecticut complies with the law, there are federal laws that the federal authorities should enforce in their state laws that the state authorities should enforce. We want the bad guys off the street, we want bad guys sent home. Thats not the disagreement. The disagreement is the president cant order us to do federal work. Quite frankly, the federal government should do its own job and get it done. We are not standing in the way of that happening. Tucker the federalism part of this, back to the original question i dont think you are responsible for all of connecticut ails, i dont think anybodys think that, but they have gotten worse since you were governor. One way to crystallize as it is g. E. Left after many years, went to massachusetts, not considered a hospitable place for business but they did. Let me stop you for a minute, g. E. Moved 200 jobs from connecticut for 160 million. Tucker not a big deal . Its a big deal. Tucker they would pay one half 60 million for 200 jobs the big deal. If i had paid 160 million for 200 jobs the same people who sent you notes tucker are you saying it was unfair because . They made a business decision that they wanted to have these 200 people move from our state. We have thousands of employees, g. E. Employees, we have more g. E. Employees in connecticut right now than the day i got elected. Tucker youre saying that g. E. Moving and the head of g. E. Saying were going to a place are aspirations of messages is not a big deal as i would use in . We would certainly prefer that they stay, how would you compete with states its going to pay 150 million to move the equivalent of 200 jobs . More clinical back to what i said maybe you didnt hear me. The reality is we have more g. E. Jobs in connecticut today than we did the day i was elected. Tucker thats kind of the point, how do you compete, connecticut isnt competing. Thats the concern of some of your constituents, not all the publicans are right wingers its a pretty democratic state, people saying holy smokes, 1. 7 billion budget deficit. Im not saying its all your fault but its set to rise, laying off teachers. How does your action today, make the lives of taxpaying residents better, its the question. We have not laid off teachers. Dont know where youre getting that. Tucker hartford is about to lay off teachers. The city is going in silence. I was a mayor for 14 years, one of the lowest crime rates in america investing in schools and housing. We know how to do those things, im not the mayor of hartford, there is a new mayor of hartford. Tucker but its your capital city, is not insignificant. Its certainly not insignificant. Thats why the progress thats being made now with lower crime, now with more housing opportunities are important, we need to continue to make those. Let me go back to the point. What youre arguing is we should do something that were not requiring to do, we should expend state resources doing a federal job, at the same time youre saying why are you saying you dont want to do that . You should be having that fight, you should be doing other things. Tucker what im saying is in a world of endless possibilities, you could be spending a finite amount of time every day working, people in the state are worried because clearly its in trouble. A 1. 7 billion deficit i think its fair for them to ask how will making it easier for people there legally to stay in our state, how to set up of our lives . Its a simple question. I was handed a state that had a 6. 7 billion deficit. Deficits are based on projection of expenses. Im growing the state at less than half of my three predecessors per year. Let me just finish. The money that were spending in addition is to pay the debts that werent paid by my predecessors. When they were giving away dollar copays or allowing people to retire as very young people, they were at the same time, not putting the money in the account to pay for that on a longterm basis. What we have needed to do and what we are doing for instance im the 80th governor in the state of connecticut, on the first governor to fully fund the longterm obligations actuarially and with cut those longterm obligations by 21. 5 billion. Tucker thats great, but if things are Getting Better with your deficit, the projections that i just read suggest its about to get bigger from 1. 7 to 1. 9, without getting into the weeds too much is that not true . Its not true. Tucker im not blaming you for everything thats wrong with your state, its clear not your fault. Im asking for the fourth time, give up after this. Does make it easier for illegal aliens to stay in connecticut improve the lives of the citizens and experts connecticut were trying to pay off 1. 7 billion of deficit . Im going to challenge you, were not doing anything to make it easier to stay in our state. The federal government has its obligations but we should not be spending local dollars, state dollars to do the federals job. Tucker what does this cost you to issue this order today . Actually much of what is in that order that went out yesterday, its advisory, was actually done three years ago by our legislature, a unanimous vote, republicans and democrats passing a law that says thats how were going to treat this case. Tucker what i find a little confusing. So youre asking what im saying to you is connecticut has decided how to handle this issue in the state of connecticut by a unanimous vote, republicans or democrats, in both houses all voted for a law that says we will cooperate with ice under certain circumstances and we will not cooperate with them to do their job when they should be doing their job. Tucker its a little strange that almost exactly the moment youre making this argument that its a federal responsibility, youre invoking federalism. The states have something you believe in . Tucker im losing track of who believes in what, at the same time, you issue a statement attacking the white house about transgender bathrooms it seems like situational federalism. Speak on sunday made a federalism. On sunday made a mistake. Theyre making the exactly the same case that youre making about these immigration laws but youre saying its wrong with a make that place. We have laws, those laws are intended to protect people. I think theyve committed a mistake. Tucker anybody whos uncomfortable with the federal government imposing National Guidelines for trenches or bathrooms as a bigot . No, im saying its a mistake. Tucker you just said bigotry is not a local, state, federal issue. You think its discrimination . You think the white house should decide its an act of determination. What did they say . Tucker exactly. My reading of it, youre the one who issued the response is where throwing it back to the states for them to the side, you just use the term bigotry indiscriminate should to describe that. Im wondering how executive thats right. Because why should someone be required to use a facility that theyre no longer equipped to use because it was on their birth certificate . Why should someone who identifies as having changed their sex be required to make you happy because tucker i just want to clarify, letting the states to make these decisions as you believe in in the case of immigration policy is an act of discrimination is that what youre saying . What im saying is the treatment of transgender individuals and singling them out and saying we will no longer support their rights or respect their differences is a mistake. Tucker thanks for joining us. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security john kelly were in mexico today as the governments tried to shore up relations south of the border despite its immigration policies that are not popular there. For more on this we go to fox news correspondent Trace Gallagher in l. A. Hey, trace. The two secretaries are hoping to discuss a range of issues with their mexican counterparts, but again it was immigration this dominated the day with Homeland Security secretary john kelly reemphasizing there will be no mass deportations of Illegal Immigrants. Kelly also said there would be no use of military force in immigration operations and even scolded the media for continuing to suggest there would to be. The reason the media keeps saying its a military operation is because President Trump said its a military operation. The white house later said the president was using the description as an adjective, meaning precise and flawless. Mexicos former minister acknowledged that this is a complex time in usmexico relations, further agitated by the u. S. Saying it would deport Illegal Immigrants to mexico regardless of their nationality. Despite rising tensions, secretary of state Rex Tillerson called todays meeting with mexican authorities productive. Tillerson has yet to do an interview or hold a press conference offered these comments. We acknowledge and relationship filled with vibrant colors, too strong a sovereign country from time to time will have differences. In reference to those differences President Trump said he would be going on a tough trip but we are we are going to have a Good Relationship with mexico, i hope. And if we dont, we dont. In short time makes can president Enrique Pena Nieto improved the relationship builder constructed for the jet. Tucker you dont hear steve bannon speak a lot in public, but he did today at cpac. Hold us accountable, hold us accountable to what we promised, hold us accountable for delivering on what we promised. Tucker weve got more, Charles Krauthammer up ahead too tell us what we means. President trump just yanked back president obamas guidelines on transgender bathrooms, well talk to a democrat was seething about that move. [coughing] credit karma, huh . Yeah, its free. Credit karma. Give yourself some credit. Hey team, i know were tight on time, but i really need a. Sick day tomorrow. Moms dont take sick days. Moms take nyquil severe the. Nighttime sniffling,sneezing, coughing, aching, fever best. Sleep with a cold, medicine. Tucker chief strategist steve bannon and Reince Priebus made a joint appearance at cpac to use the moment to rebut the claims that they hate each other, and that President Trump wont back off any of his agenda, is part of what they said. We share an office suite together, were basically together from 6 30 in the morning until about 11 00 at night. I have a little thing about the war room, he is a fireplace, no space off a. Where coalition a lot of people have strong beliefs about different things, we understand you can come together to when we understood that from august 15th. We never had a doubt that donald trump never had a doubt that he was gone to win. I think if you look at the Opposition Party, and how they portrayed the campaign, how they portrayed the transition, and how they are portraying the administration, they are always wrong. Hes going to continue to press his agenda. As Economic Conditions get better, as more jobs get better, theyre going to continue to fight. If you think theyre going to give you your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken. Every day, it is going to be a fight. That is what im proudest about donald trump. All the opportunities he had to waver off this, all the waver off this, all the people erate comecome to hit has every day in the oval office he tells us, i committed this to the American People i promise this when i ran and im good to deliver on this. Tucker what is the real message here . Were joined now by author and Fox News Contributor Charles Krauthammer, thanks a lot for coming on. The first point they both made was they like each other, if its true, does it matter if its true. Why are they telling us this . Theyre going to have these stories that there is a terrible conflict going on all the time. I think they felt that there is the first order of business, i think its somewhat trivial because it was a very substantive exchange and from bannon who weve not heard of since the swearing in, it was extremely revealing. This is the brains of the operation. He is a guy who think strategically, and large categories, and he laid them out. I thought that was the most interesting part, and unfortunately, it got the least amount of coverage. Tucker of course, what were they . He described their aims thematically. His representation of trump is that you can never go out of reince or out of trump. He basically said there are three overarching ideas. One is international arena, we are going to break that down. You got this in the inaugural address. The world and our allies have been parasitic on us for 70 years with alliances and trade and multilateral trade, where done with that. America first. Thats number one. The second is what he calls economic nationalism, meaning trade and immigration. We are looking at America First in terms of economy. The third is the destruction of the administration administrat. On the third one, i think you can get a consensus among all conservatives and were all rooting that on. And i think the first salvo in that war happened yesterday when the Trump Administration reversed the bathroom bill that had been issued by the obama in administration. Whatever your ideas about transgender sexuality, it is not the province of the federal government, nothing to do with the overblown leviathan state. Its a way to say were going to smash all this and were going to eliminate this excess. Thats reaganism, thats hardcore reaganism, the regulatory rollback. On the other two, this is going against the tradition of the last 30 years. He will run into trouble, especially on the second having to do with trade in congress. Tucker this was rolled out at cpac, it was the centerpiece of todays conference, traditionally a place where conservative grassroots define what it is to be conservative. This looks like the new conservative or a version of it. Is this the largest constituency within the conservative tent . I think its a good indicator, the straw poll of conservative thinking in the same way they take a poll of their president ial preferences, its not terrible accurate. Trump came in third and last time. Its a good reflection of where conservatives are. I think the enthusiasm with which all of this was received as well as the other people in the high command of the Trump Administration tells you that theres nothing like winning. Having one, having seized all the engines of power in washington as a result of the trump candidacy, theyre going to go with it. I didnt see any dissent. The dissent will come from congress down the road when, for example, they have to deal with tariffs and trade in that kind of thing. From the grassroots, people who are expressing their ideology and their conservatism, they are very willing to allow the winner, the ones the head of the party in the country and the free world to define conservatism, the same way it since happened with reagan. He came into a mildly centerright party and he changed it. It became reaganites. Now bannon is thinking through how to make a new ideology and he expressed it rather well. Tucker thank you very much for that. My pleasure. Tucker Stephen Bannon and Reince Priebus with the only members at cpac today. Vice president mike pence spoke just a minute ago. Here is what he said. President trump is leading the fight to repeal and replace obamacare. Let me assure you that americas obamacare nightmare is about to end. Tucker we will keep you posted on the status of that nightmare, of course, every night. Up next, President Trump has retracted it on obama era rules that requires all Public Schools in america to let transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice. Well talk a democratic strategist who says the move makes trump a monster, it will right back baa baa black sheep, have you any wool .
