-- was not addictive. they were lying. they've known all along about nicotine addiction, yet they continue to sell cigarettes. it was too lucrative the stop. millions died as a result and eventually, a wave of lawsuit forced tobacco companies to admit they knew this and shell out hundreds of billions of dollars to victims and their lawyers. suppressing smoking became a national priority. america understood that hurting people in order to get rich was wrong. doing it on purpose is criminal. all of which raises serious questions tonight about silicon valley. about what their products are doing to this country, particularly to children and how much tech executives know what potential harm is caused by what they're selling. already, psychiatric research has produced some ominous findings on this. social media use is connected to anxiety, depression, and social maladjustment particularly among adolescents. the more time kids spend online, the unhappier they are. data from the cdc shows that suicide rates for teen girls in america are at a 40 year high and way up 14 boys as well. does technology play a role in those deaths and for that matter, and a number of other serious pathologies that appear to be rising in america. sean parker seems to think so. parker is not a research scientist, he's even more of an authoritative on this subject, he was facebook's first president and he helped design that website. parker recently gave and interview and said he knew they -- from the very beginning they were creating something harmful and addictive. >> we need to give you a dopamine hate every once in a while, because somebody liked or commented on a photo or a post, whatever. it's a social validation feedback loop. it is the kind of thing that a hacker, like myself, would come up with because you are exploiting vulnerability in human psychology. i think the inventors, creators, it's me, it's mark, kevin systrom of instagram, all these people understood this consciously and we did it anyway. >> tucker: this is a bombshell. imagine if the makers of the painkiller oxycontin admitted they knew their product was likely to addict millions of americans to opiates, but "did it anyway." that's pretty much exactly what happened with oxycontin by the way, but so far the family has been wise enough not to say so in public. sean parker isn't quite so guarded. in his conversation with axios, he describes facebook as a drug which it functionally is. when they designed the product, they said they kept one question in mind, "how can we consume as much as overtime and conscious attention as possible?" the answer they found was without dopamine hits to your brain and forms of comments, likes, new posts. parker acknowledges facebook has become an epidemic that is devastating this country. "it literally changes your relationship with society and each other" he said. "god only knows what it's doing to our children's brains." let that sink in. imagine how you would feel if you knew you had injured the brains of millions of children. sean parker does not seem especially concerned by the and fact in his interview with axios, he brags about how rich it has made him. "because of a billionaire, i'm going to have better access to health care," parker said, "i'm going to be like 160 and i'll be a part of this class of immortal overlords. you know the expression about compound interest, give us an extra hundred years and you'll know what what disparity looks like." the tobacco industry looking decent by comparison. unlike the heads of r.j. reynolds, sean parker and mark zuckerberg have not been hauled before congress to account for themselves and what they've done. why is that exactly? do you think it's because silicon valley used all of our money for politicians? who knows? maybe there's a connection. we'll start asking members of congress about it. that's not the only newsworthy behavior from facebook this week. the company is also considering a bizarre plan to have users send them nude pictures of themselves. we are going to let trace gallagher handle the details on that. trace? >> studies show that 4% of internet users have become victim of revenge porn. for women under 38 is 10%. the reason so many angry partners post is because it hits close to home. the pictures are accessible to family and friends. facebook is launching a pilot program beginning in australia to help victims fight back. here's the deal. if you've ever shared nude or sexual images with a partner and you're afraid someday they'll end up on the web, you could send those same images to yourself on messenger and then facebook will go in and make a digital fingerprint of each picture and automatically block any attempt to upload that same image. but there's a catch and it's a big one. before facebook can block your nude pictures, they have to look at your pictures. turns out a crew of specially trained facebook employees view all the pics, decide if they qualify as revenge porn and then they at a digital fingerprint. they'll keep them on file for an undisclosed amount of time before deleting them. facebook secured he says "we are aware that it carries risks, but it is a risk we are trying to balance against a series of real-world harms that occur every day when people, mostly women, can't stop nonconsensual intimate imagery from being posted." analysts point out that social media companies are just as vulnerable to being hacked as anybody else, which is why experts say the only safe nude photos are the ones that are not taken. tucker? >> tucker: trace gallagher, thanks so much. send naked pictures of yourself to facebook, don't do that, by the way. eric scheffer is a social media expert, he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. >> thank you, nice to be with you. >> tucker: there is mounting evidence, science has produced mounting evidence that some of the products and silicon valley produces hurt people, particularly children and there appears to be a direct connection between the time people spend using these products and the condition of their mental health. i'm wondering what silicon valley is doing about that. i don't see them doing anything about it. i am confused. >> i think those are certainly valid concerns that some have raised in aspects of the community, but there's a whole other side of facebook and i think that's just one. you can make many of these same arguments with respect to television. you can make them certainly with respect to music. we've heard this argument before in history. there's no question. the truth is, even a show like yours that's captivating, interesting, it's designed to hold, it's designed to capture people and make them stick and it does and it does it well. >> tucker: my show on cable news has not totally reordered our society. you heard sean parker say it. it changes the way -- >> liberals don't think so. >> tucker: it's not a liberal/conservative thing. here's the truth. when this technology came out 20 years ago, it changed the we live completely. and today do not know whether products have on people, and that seems irresponsible to me. perhaps i'm missing something. >> it is capitalism. i think the goal is in any kind of media and this is a media entity if you will, it's all about holding people, it's all about capturing people, whether it's television, its movies, it's music, and i think they have figured it out, but in the brain -- >> tucker: i love how liberals are now defending unrestrained market capitalism because they're profiting, but how is that different than selling crack cocaine or heroin? that's just capitalism. the whole point is get people engaged. why do you care with the effect is on them? that's not really an answer, is it? >> i think it's certainly an interesting debate. where do you draw the line because you can make the argument that almost anything that holds people and captures people that may have any effect that way could be negative. no one's advocating for drugs, there's no question about that. >> tucker: they are saying "we knew this was addictive, we knew it hurt people, but we did it anyway." we created this class of child billionaires who apparently knew they were hurting the population when they greeted the product. -- created the product. i don't understand why there is not a congressional hearing about this. if this was a drug, there would be. >> i understand, but what about movies, what about violent video games, where do you draw the line, tucker? i guess my point in all of this is when you have a platform like facebook or television or music, et cetera, you have to also balance it against the social good. when you consider facebook, that's allowed democracy to thrive. it took down regimes that were against america. >> tucker: i'm not saying it has no redeeming social value, i'm not arguing that. i'm just saying under the ad copy that you're repeating and propaganda, there's another side. it appears to have an effect on the mental health of kids and i don't see the people profiting from this taking that seriously at all. if i own a casino, there's an upside to casinos, but i also have to put money aside to fund help for people who are hurt by my products, same with smokers. why is silicon valley exempt just because they give money to politicians? >> i don't think silicon valley is exempt and i don't think anyone is suggesting that they are. there is no question that no one wants to hurt children, certainly myself, anyone. >> tucker: how much are they spending on research? how much is mark zuckerberg spending to determine the effect of his product on children and to help the children whose product is hurting? >> the same argument is true of television and radio. spelling television has been around for 70 years, we have a good handle on what television does. wouldn't offend any of it. the internet is a different experience and we don't actually know what the effects are. the point is, these guys don't care because they're greedy. you just had one of them saying, "we are hurting people, but i'm a billionaire, i'm going to live to 160!" what? why is that okay? that's horrifying behavior, don't you think? >> i don't think what you are referencing in terms of a general sense -- anyone would say was okay. what we're trying to do is balance the totality of everything. for instance, with conservatives it's possible that without facebook, donald trump would have been elected president. the digital director of trump's campaign has much said the case. and conservatives also are using facebook to shore the mainstream media. >> tucker: facebook is probably great in burma, there's lots that i like, i think there's an upside to facebook. i'm just saying there appears to be a massive downside to the company itself that there ignoring. there's an upside to cigarettes, they are fun to smoke. cigarettes kill you after a while. it's not that there's nothing good about it. there's clearly something really bad about it. >> i don't think there's an upside to cigarettes in my opinion. i do see your point, absolutely. i also see the other side, i see the fact that there's been so much positive and we have to balance it. that's not to say that facebook should not be spending more to protect kids, to keep bullying away and frankly, i think they have done a nice job in that regard. >> tucker: bullying displaces the responsibility from themselves onto their consumers. they're saying "people are misusing our product," maybe the product itself hurts people. maybe we should do some research on this. maybe they should sit in the hot seat and have congress ask them some real questions. >> imagine without a facebook. >> tucker: i grew up without facebook. it was actually a pretty happy world. i was pretty happy before facebook, i have to say. as far as i remember. >> you, yourself benefit from it. you use it every day. >> tucker: let's stop lying and get to the heart of it. thank you. tom hurst during his a cycle analysis, and we digitally distracted kids, there is a title that every parent can react to. tom, what do we know about the effect of social media and screen time on kids? >> i've got a litany of information on my book and anecdotally as a therapist, this is basically what i deal with nowadays. i would say i have probably twice as many schoolkids with anxiety disorders this year alone than in 17 years combined. i can tie it to social media, electronics and so forth. >> tucker: i'm 48, not that old, but i grew up in a time when none of us existed and it's very obvious to me that a lot of times changed. it is not related to the political system or economy. a something fundamental has changed. how do you draw the connection? why are you so certain its digital media that's doing it? >> look at it like this, take the kids today, they have a front row ticket to every second of their peers lives. we didn't have that. you give a kid who is a preadolescent or adolescent and by nature, trying to figure out who he or she is, where they exist in the social pecking order and then you get this weapon of mass destruction of a smartphone and now they're getting feedback constantly, fueling their self-esteem, but it's actually not helping their self-esteem because last time i checked, the word self-esteem starts with self, not others. they are getting all of this feedback. it's destroying our kids and their spending nine hours a day using this stuff. nine hours a day of anything, i don't care if it's exercise, even nine hours of exercise is not going to be good for you. >> tucker: that's a wise entry point. what do you think when you see one of the people who created this product, facebook, bragging both that he knew it hurt people, he knew it was addictive, but he doesn't care because now he's a billionaire and you're not? but the leader of any other industry get away with that? >> i don't think so. it's funny because when i give these lectures, i liken it to the tobacco industry back in the day. what we are going to start seeing in the next 3-5 years, major shifts going and our society as this stuff continues to reveal itself. i've been lecturing about this since 2009, so sometimes i feel like i'm the only person out there talking to parents and giving them the information they need so they can save our kids. this is a stripping up from our relationships with our children as well because we have our heads down and anytime you catch the moment on our phone, we're missing the moment or the milestone. >> tucker: let me ask you a meta-question, every person watching knows what you're talking about because we are all living it. how is it that 320 million people can be having the exact same experience that's clearly bad and nobody says anything about it? why is this not the constant topic of conversation? >> its social conformity. if you know what that is, we tend to go like a flock of birds. if we see somebody has something, every other fourth-grader has a smartphone, i will get one for my child. we think we need to do it but in the back of the mind, we know it's dangerous. that's why i wrote this book. >> tucker: tom, thank you very much. donna brazile exposed genuinely shady behavior at the democratic national committee, she also may have inadvertently exposed terminal behavior. -- criminal behavior. we'll talk to a campaign finance expert who is investigating it. also, president trump is on a plane right now preparing to leave china for vietnam. we follow his trip across the continent of asia, stay tuned. ♪ with most airline credit cards, you only earn double miles when you buy stuff from that airline. is this where you typically shop?

be honest, is that unusual in the middle of a presidential campaign?ve >> it's not unusual for a presidential campaign to have a lot of say in what the national party committees do after the nominee is chosen. that's not unusual in that is customary. what's unusual about this is that it happened a year before hillary clinton was the nominee and i think poor old bernie is hillaryhere clinton literally controlling every single operational aspect of the dnc starting in 2015. in august, september of 2015. he really didn't have a chance because they controlled the hiring of the key communications director, they controlled everything. i have never seen that before. c i've never seen anything like that before. >> tucker: staff that we know now sought to undermine the burning campaign. -- bernie campaign. back to the finance question, are using that because of this contractual relationship between the campaign in the dnc, the campaign was allowed to -- was able to exceed the caps on spending? that is a violation? >> they exceeded the caps on spending, the coordinated expenditures. the parties are limited. i don't believe in these limits, let's be clear. >> tucker: i got it. >> it's the law and in 2002, the prohibitions were strengthened between candidates and their parties. there are limits and restrictions, none of those costs were assessed against thee hillary clinton campaign and she controlled all of the expenditures, literally. >> tucker: what does that mean? if what you're saying is right, and i know for a fact you know what you're talking about, what are the consequences for this? >> let me just say this. any expenditure, any campaign finance violation involving $25,000 or more if the activity was knowing and willful, and this was a chuck schumer amendment to campaign finance laws, that is a criminal violation and the department of justice has jurisdiction to investigate. i think the fcc should investigate and the department of justice should investigate. one of the things i think is important to note here is that all of these people who called for all these restrictions, they apparently had no intention of abiding by them. >> tucker: no, and they are pretty open about eight. we are out of time, cleta mitchell, thank you, that was veryth interesting. a group of illegal immigrants stormed on capitol hill today to demand illegal immigrant amnesty. why does america seem intent on letting illegal immigrants go against the law?

i'm totally confused. >> i don't get it either, tucker. you're right about these laws being enforced. there was a song in the '60s, "i fought the law and the law won" and it was sung by bobby fullere i think bobby fuller was an american because the illegal aliens always seem to win. we had a case here in massachusetts, the court system basically shopped for a illegal alien into a poster boy for defying the federal authorities, so they found this guy, he was a cambodian, he got cut loose on another technicality, but they said this young man, this illegal from cambodia can't be t held for deportation by federal authorities, so they cut him loose.de guess what?

where does that come from? >> i think it's guilt, tucker. this goes back, all the way back to the immigration of 1965 with ted kennedy and somehow we had to -- i don't know, expunge our guilt. i don't feel any guilt. people are coming over here and they have more rights than american citizens. >> tucker: i don't understand, it's such a great country. cr: what are the people who live here hate it so much?

>> main tax legislation is about putting more money in the pockets of american working families and our businesses. ultimately that creates more economic growth, more jobs, and especially higher wages for working class americans. the house and senate have different perspectives, we'll pass the bill hopefully and then resolve our differences. t i think the bill will be better with whatever turns out on the particulars if we do one thing and that's repeal the individual mandate of obamacare. that is the most hated part of obamacare and it would save $33i billion during the life of this tax bill, they could pay for a lot more tax cuts for our families and businesses in a fiscally responsible action. >> tucker: you keep hearing that america's corporate tax rate is really high relative to other countries, and that is true. but the number of openings percentage that pay the full rate seems pretty small and fact, some companies get subsidies. how would that change? would the average corporation under your plan pay more or less? >> what i would like to say, one of our goals is to reduce the corporate tax rate from the highest in the industrialized world down to 20% which is also below the average of the industrialized world, but also eliminate a lot of the special interest reductions and loopholes that they use to get down below the 35% rate of today. i think most companies of all sizes will like that as well. simply with them focus on the goods and services they provide to their customers as opposed to trying to gain the tax system. >> tucker: t if people stopped gaining the tax system, that would suggest to me that he would see corporate tax revenues rise. >> you would see that because he was he more economic growth. this is the story of major tax legislation over the course of time. we know taxes impact our behavior, the decision to buy at home for instance or to investvi in a green energy car under the obamacare stimulus, so we all know that behavior changes whenu you pass tax laws, so what we want to do is pass a tax while -- law that's going to make more decisions, keep more of their own m money. >> tucker: would their still be corporations affect taxes at all?
