FOXNEWSW Tucker Carlson Tonight April 19, 2017

But, first, ms13 wasnt the president s only eu78 congratulation concern. Early yearlinearlier today the t signed order ordering reforms to the h 1 v. Bring in Foreign Workers to fill jobs that allegedly americans are not capable of doing. Billionaire mark cuban is a vocal supporter of h 1 vs. He says importing labor makes american stronger. Mark cuban, thanks for joining us tonight. The president s h 1 b executive order will slow down that visa process from abroad. Youve said in past statements you think thats bad for america. How so . Right. Well, there is two parts to the h 1 b story. First, there is the hoarding of visas, which i think is a problem. You get a lot of outsourcing companies that apply to the lottery in huge numbers and they just win a lot of visas and they use them for lower paying jobs. Thats wrong. Hopefully this addresses it. On the flip side, there is the other side of getting the most qualified applicant for a company. And going out there and searching the world for the best applicant, i think is a good thing for american business. It allows to us compete globally in ways we might may not have otherwise been able to. Tucker thats the talking point and it makes sense i have to say on its face. But the reality as you know is that 80 of the foreigners admitted under h 1 b make less in the it you not because they are unskilled but because they save labor costs. Thats the idea. Correct. Remember i said there were two elements here. Tucker 80 is why. But, but it still makes a difference, right . The nuances, the details matter, tucker. The companies that are hoarding visas, they are the ones that are causing the problem you are mentioning where people are coming in and they are forcing down wages. Thats bad. Thats wrong. Thats not at the core of the value of h 1 b visas. So when you look at the actual numbers you are exactly right and hopefully this will address it when it comes to competing for the best talent around the world i believe in american exceptionism. I believe we can compete. When someone from one of our universities a native born, imgrant, natural lived however you want to define someone working here in the United States when they cant get the job, we get smarter. We know someone doesnt get a job from me, you know, i tell them work harder, get smarter, you will get it the next time around. You will get the next job. I think thats good for everybody. Tucker in a lot of those cases we dont get smarter we go on disability. Go on to disability . Tucker people actually stay out of the labor force for huge long periods of time they are not even counted in the official numbers. Tucker thats so far out of left field to assign a disability issue. Tucker im talking about Disability Insurance one of the ways that people make due when they dont have a fulltime job as you know. Of course. No question. People going on disability when they shouldnt is an issue. Dont attach it to the h 1 b visa issue. Tucker im not attacking anyone for being disabled. Youre missing the point. What im merely Say Something we have a huge unemployment problem in america. That also extends to people who graduate from college, 41 who say they are under employed. We have a massive labor pool educated in our system and, yet, they are being turned away in favor of people being educated abroad. That does not help america in any way. Well, again, part of whats going to change is the visa hoarding. I cant emphasize that enough. That is where americans get undercut in the pricing for jobs. Problem we agree there. Where there is better talent external and its global we have to go get them. Otherwise, those people are going to go to other companies around the world. This are going to come in and compete with our companies and not only will the job be lost that was given to the better talent but the companies that needed them, all those other people that worked for those Companies May lose their jobs as well. Bigger picture, look, tucker, either you believe in capitalism, either you believe in the market economies or you dont. There is no in between part of capitalism is how people compete for jobs, right . Tucker i love that when did the left become addicted to market fundamentalism. There are many in betweens. Im not the left, tucker. Im not the left by a long shot. Tucker would you apply Market Forces to your marriage, to your family . There are limits to how far. [laughter] tucker im serious. Capitalism is not religion. Effective way of generating wealth. In the way it hurts americans shouldnt we respond . Thats a big, big question. Tucker you are the one that said are you against capitalism, i like capitalism. When it hurts americans, im willing to make adjustments. Wouldnt you be . Isnt that the nature of capitalism . Isnt that the nature of a market economy that . The shortterm there is dislocation, there is disruption . But hopefully because of american exceptionism, because we are who we are, that we believe in entrepreneurship, we believe in the American Dream that entrepreneurs can go out and use that use their knowledge to create new companies . So, yeah, i hate the displacement that occurs when there is change. But the reality is in a capitalist Market Driven system with adjustments and, yeah, there is things where we give some on a true market system. Thats a good thing. Im not for fair libertarianism. If companies cant go out and hire the best talent. Those companies are still going to have to compete with the smarter people in a global economy. Tucker thats a great point. Wouldnt you concede there is something compulsive watching guys like Mark Zuckerberg invoke in order to get cheaper labor from india. You want to hire people cheaply. Stop lecturing me about rosa parks, right . You know, first of all, i dont go out. I have never used h1 b visa to go and bring somebody n my 150 plus companies. I want to get that on the table. As far as microsoft and facebook and some others, i dont think they are using outsourced labor, which, again, is what is driving down the pricing and what is causing jobs and where you are seeing the examples of people having to train their replacements. I think for the most part they pay premiums. And the studies i have seen facebook and google, et cetera, when they hire they pay a premium. They are not coming in to cut down the price of labor. Tucker do you think it would be fair tort u. S. Government to require employers when they bring over people on h1 b visa to pay the market price and not undercut American Labor when they bring people in. On the surface that makes perfect sense. I think thats happening. Again, tucker, i cant repeat it enough. If you get rid of the visa hoarding, the problem that you have and i agree with you here. We are on the same page here. If you get rid of visa hoarding that problem disappears. If you change the lottery so that its based on the job. Its based on a meritocracy that problem disappears. I really agree that there is a necessity for changes in h 1 b but getting rid of the hoarding will solve that problem. Tucker why has nobody done this . I dont want to get too political with you. I know you are not a political guy. Geewhiz we just had 8 years of the messiah who cared about ordinary americans. This is a problem. You are conceding its a problem. Why didnt the last administration address this . Maybe because they were in bed with the Tech Community . Well, maybe. But, at the same time, you have to prioritize. And, you know, i dont have an answer for you. Im not a liberal. Im not a conservative. I think for myself. Im an independent. Theres always a way to finance specific problems. And you know government doesnt always deliver those. So im not going to speak to why it didnt get solved before. Tucker fair point. Mark coul cuban thanks for joining us. I appreciate it. Always fun, thank you. Tucker this is a fox news alert. Fresno, california residents were terrorized by a mass shooter today. According to early reports the alleged shooter may have been motivated by islamic radicalism and hatred of white people. For more on the story we go to Jonathan Hunt who is there jonathan . Jonathan. Reporter tucker, its important to point the top here the fbi tells us it is not at this point treating this as a terrorism incident. Its equally important to point out that according to the Fresno Police chief, after firing 16 rounds and killing three random people, 39yearold corely alli mohammed shouted allah akbar arabic for god is great after being taken into custody by police officer. He sometimes called himself the black jesus and on his Facebook Page made antigovernment statements and said he did not like white people. All three of the victims in todays shooting were white men. Police had been shooting for Corey Mohammed since last thursday when he allegedly shot and killed a Security Guard who was also white at a local motel 6. They say he has a criminal history involving guns, drugs, false imprisonment and terrorist threats. He also had a history of Mental Illness according to Court Documents suffering from psychosis and a substantial degree of paranoia. Press conference going on right now again with the police chief, tucker. We will bring you up to date if there is any new information. Tucker . Tucker Jonathan Hunt, thanks a lot. By the way the press is doing its best to down play the likely motive for this attack. The a. P. Reporter shouted god is great. Did he not shout that he shouted allah akbar. It matters and the Associated Press knows it matters. Maybe it will turn out he was radicalized methodist or extreme presbyterian or lutheran with a grudge. We will keep you posted. The Trump Administration is vowing to defeat the massive criminal enterprise known as ms13. Jeff sessions blamed a nearly open southern border for the gangs rise. Defeating them will be a top for the department. Allowed bad ms13 gangs to form in cities across the u. S. We are removing them fast. What is the plan to beat ms13 which is estimated to have 10,000 members in the United States. The attorney general of the United States joins us now. Thanks a lot for coming on. Thank you, tucker. Good to be here. Tucker to what extent are the immigration policies of the last couple president ial terms tied to the rise of ms13. Its no doubt had it an impact because so many of these people are illegally here. They came without proper authority. And with a good, lawful border, many of them would not be here. They have sent some of the most violent people who would never have cleared a proper visa process and crimes they have committed in el salvador. Yes, i dont think there is any doubt that the open border, the lawlessness that we have had is a factor in the rise of this ms13. Tucker so some of them we know came here as unaccompanied minors illegally and allowed to stay. Under the former policy do you know if an unaccompanied minor was found to have ties to ms13 would he have been deported or allow today stay . I think the undocumented people who came were sent here by their leaders back in el salvador. Many of them operating from jail where they are serving murder convictions and those kind of things. So he this were directed out of inner. If they came and claimed them sizzles as a minor. And Obama Administration let them come into the country and took them to destination city and took them over to some relative to claimed to be a relative. They had a mechanism to enter the country. They have been here a number of them have for a number of years. In the late 80s and mid 90s really 2,000. About 2009, we had some Real Progress against them numbers dropped. The violence was on the defensive but they have come back aggressively in the recent years. Tucker so there are case us documented of ms13 members bragging about permissive immigration laws how we change the policies to keep them out . Well, first, we are going to secure the border. We are going to build a wall. We are going to add more agents on the border. The numbers have already dropped dramatically. We had march was the lowest intrants of Illegal Immigrants in 17 years in this country. Thats Donald Trumps leadership. He is determined to do that and end this lawlessness. We are backing him up. The Home Land Security Department is really working hard and we are going to continue on that. So the numbers are down. So when fewer enter our Border Patrol have a much better chance of catching those who do. Identifying those who are violent and deporting them. Tucker heres what i dont understand. That seems like a pretty obvious solution that any country acting in its own interest would do. Why hasnt that been done . Why, if we knew these people were coming from he will value is a door and joining a criminal enterprise like this and killing people, why would we have allowed that. We simply have been in denial about this proprocess. We are having a lot of people come to the country who are not dangerous illegally. Tucker yeah. But a lot of them are. These groups are there has been such a political defense of the entire process, defense and attack of anybody who wants to end the lawlessness, what we want to say to the world is please come lawfully. Tucker yes. Wait your turn, make your application and it will be evaluated. You will be accepted come. Dont come illegally. Thats what the American People have a right to expect their government to do. And in the process we can protect them from some of the violent criminals and terrorists that are coming in. So the government of he will is asalvador has designated ms13 a terrorist organization. Would it be helpful for our government to do the same. I believe it could qualify for that there are rules against the state department does to establish that. But, we know theyre violent. We know that if we focus our prosecutorial and investigative resources and we had a meeting today with all the top federal Law Enforcement officers and the agencies in our government, to focus on this group. And as we have cases and we work them hard, we are pursue convictions and then we deport people who are here unlawfully, we can devastate this gang. Were going after them. We are not going to allow them to take over a block, a corner of our communities. And terrorize people with this violence. They use machetes. They kill children. They put children in prostitution at age 12. This is one of the most violent gangs in the history of our country, no doubt about it. Tucker really quickly i want to put up a map of the spread of ms13. Think are not just in the border towns as you would they are throughout the country. How hard would it to be root this group out in all the different cities. Tucker, this is going to be hard but not impossible. They are not geniuses. Not the top criminals. Many of them are poor criminals, actually. They are involved in the kind of activities that can be identified and they can be prosecuted. Its 40 states have ms13 members in them. Some of the we have got 10,000 now in the country. But i believe if we stay at it, we can devastate this organization and thats going to be our goal. Tucker i wonder when all this happened. Mr. Attorney general thank you for joining us. Thank you. Good to be with you. Tucker up next, an election tonight in georgia is being treated as a referendum on the president s leadership. We will give you update on what happened there. Plus, there has been no further action in syria since the strike two weeks ago. Dolls the president have a plan for what to do next .

Democrat jon ossoff is hoping he flip the seat and deliver a strong we buick to the president in a district that narrowly voted for him. Is he 30 years old. For more we go to Jonathan Serrie who is in sandy spring, georgia tonight. Hey, jonathan. Hi, tucker. You know, when this evening began, this celebration that jon ossoffs party here, people were expressing cautious optimism. Now it has turned into down right enthusiasm. Although only a fraction of the precincts are reporting. The news they are getting so far is good for democrats. It shows ossoff with a commanding lead. Now, its anyones guess whether is he going to win this election outright. This is what people are referring to as a jungle primary where all 18 candidates, democrats, republicans, and independents were on the same ballot. But if one of those candidates can get more than 50 of the vote, they win the election outright. If not, it goes into a runoff in june. Democrats obviously would like to win tonight. Some republican strategists say they would prefer a runoff. Republicans have 11 candidates who have been taking votes from each other but if it goes down to one candidate, then they can get voters to rally around them and it becomes a more competitive contest. Tucker . Tucker jonathan, thanks a lot for that we will be bringing updates throughout the night on that race in georgia. Its been two weeks since the u. S. Hit syrian air base. After the attack many of the lawmakers especially more hawkish ones called for trump to adopt a more aggressive policy on syria. Lock in a particular strategy in that country .
