WATCH Tucker Carlson : Mayor Reconsiders Sanctuary Policy After ‘Tucker’ Appearance

One week after debating Tucker Carlson on the merits of his city's sanctuary policy, Mayor Virgil Bernero (D-Lansing) returned to break some news on that front. Bernero said that after "democracy in action," he and his city council are reconsidering their decision to become a sanctuary for illegal immigrants. The council was meeting on the issue as Bernero spoke on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." However, he said that his initial policy was not an example of the liberal sanctuary city policies created by some other municipalities. He said there is no evidence that Michigan's capital is "opening the floodgates" to illegal immigrants as some have characterized. Bernero said he agreed with President Trump's campaign promise to rid the country of "bad hombres" from elsewhere i...

Tucker Carlson debated a Democratic congressman over the merits of President Trump's missile strike against a Syrian airfield.

However, he said Congress should still investigate whether Trump is working in some level of coordination with the Russians. Moulton acknowledged that by striking back against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Trump was effectively working against the Russians. But he noted the U.S. military got the Kremlin's forces out of the base before the strike. He said that some people could see such a move as an "elaborate ruse" to relieve pressure from Democrats over his alleged Russian ties. "Wher...

Featured, Politics, Videos

Sanctuary City ... Mayor Virgil Bernero (D) of Lansing, Michigan debated Tucker Carlson on the legitimacy of Attorney General Jeff Sessions' plan to withhold federal funds from cities that won't enforce federal immigration law.

Featured, Politics, Videos

trump ... In light of Fox News' report that former National Security Adviser Susan Rice ordered the 'unmasking' of Trump associates mentioned in surveillance activity, Tucker Carlson pressed another former Obama aide for further explanation. Carlson asked former Obama campaign adviser David Tafuri why Rice would "lie" about her role in the unmasking of people in Trump's orbit. Tafuri said he didn't know why Rice said that and wasn't sure that she was lying at the time. He said it is legal for citizens to be caught in surveillance of foreign entities or for their names to be 'unmasked' if there is a specific procedural reason for it. Carlson said that the report showed the surveillance material had little to do with the investigation into whether the Trump campaign collud...
