6:00 pm
dishes, a lot of people when in rome, i'm a bill o'reilly, pleae remove the spin stops here because we are definitely looking out for you. >> tucker: what a twist, house intelligence committee chairman devin nunes says there is some truth to the president trump claim that it personal communications were monitored by the previous administration but will bring you the latest on that but first. this is a fox news alert, terror hits the heart of western civilization today after an attacker ran over and a stab at dozens of people just outside the houses of parliament in london. at least five have died so far including a police officer and the attacker. several eyewitnesses describe the terrifying scene. >> it was horrendous, absolutely
6:01 pm
horrendous. >> there was a body next to me not moving. >> need to get somewhere safe. >> we just saw three people in the road. >> it was on the bridge. >> down at 10 feet away. [silence] >> tucker: perhaps we shouldn't be surprised at all, just six months ago london's new mayor said it terror attacks are part and parcel of living in a big city. it's just part of the deal, you can't have opera, soulcycle, and the sunday brunch without the omnipresent risk of being crushed, redheaded beheaded, op in the name of a la it's just part of urban life. if you're over 35 come you can remember when terrorism wasn't inevitable, we made it this way.
6:02 pm
the people in charge did, how did they do that? through reckless immigration policies that none of us were asked to endorse much less vote on, we didn't know what was happening. western cities got dangerous when they imported radical religious ideologies from other countries, no buddy and government wants to admit that but it's true. despite the official ban on saying it's true, and heavily islamic areas, terrors, and, elsewhere it's vanishingly rare, you can look it up. over time, it is a numbers game. a poll last year found that 23% of british muslims supported sharia, 40% openly sympathized with suicide bombers. that's the reason terror is inevitable, not the evil nature of cities. let's stop lying about it. for an update on the situation, we go to ox news correspondent benjamin hall who is there, benjamin? >> as you've been saying, really brutal attack, at the heart of
6:03 pm
the u.k. government. the spring was coming out and things were moving forward. it began at about 2:35 p.m. this afternoon. a car veered off the road to cross the famous westminster bridge. he sent one lady flying into the river, many others into the wheels of oncoming cars. he then proceeded down the road toward the house of parliament where he crashed into a gate before jumping out, taking out a long knife and killing a policeman. soon after that he was shot dead by two others. the streets around were cut off, helicopters overhead, the river thames itself was cut down, no access to that. but as parliament was defiant and teresa mae who was herself was in parliament has spoken out today. >> that is why were a target for those who reject those values, let me make it clear today as i have had cause to do before, any
6:04 pm
attempt to defeat those values through violence and terror is doomed to failure. >> that sentiment has been echoed around the world, not least in brussels where it's a year onto the day you were 32 people were killed in an isis inspired attack there. use of a vehicle has been widely used before. not only in berlin but also in nice and indeed here in london. many people pointing the finger at isis now and the police say they know who was responsible it was tied to islamic terrorism but they're not releasing his name. five people dead including a police officer including the attacker himself in a 30-year-old lady. big questions asked today, are the streets safe and has terror managed to effect the heart of this country? thank you. >> tucker: nigel faraj once let the u.k. independence party, he has spent years wanting the attacks like today's are in
6:05 pm
byproduct are a byproduct of immigration. if it seems clear from this vantage, this is part of something much larger and it's pretty clear what it is, i wonder if that's as clear to the leaders of the political parties in great britain. >> i remember about five years ago, i said that we had a fifth column living inside our own nation and it was the first time in our history that we had people living amongst us that wanted to destroy our values and actually wanted to kill us. i remember the wave of condemnation that i came in for. what i've seen today is a lot of people to come of the great and good of this country, the people that did irresponsibly open the doors, the people that refuse to accept within some parts of islam there was a growing problem, there are all saying how awful and appalling it is. i do think the moment has come for us to actually point the blame. what these politicians have done in the space of just 15 years may well affect the way we live in this country for the next
6:06 pm
hundred years. >> tucker: i don't think there's any question, great britain is not alone in that, is there still a sanction against those who say what you just said in public. if you say that out loud, somehow you're the bad guy, is that still the case? >> the other week i was doing a radio show here and i talked about sweden, and i'm currently under investigation by off, who are the regulator here for all broadcast media. i don't anticipate receiving a heavy fine but it just shows to go, we do not quite enjoy free speech in this country the way we should. spoon the country that invented it no longer has it. >> just ask you to play psychiatrist for one second, why would the leaders of a country whose job it is to protect the citizens who voted for them, be so angry at anybody wise that a
6:07 pm
threat threat to them. >> when tony blair got elected back in 1997 his aim was to create a genuinely multicultural society, he said he wanted to rub their noses in the right and diversity. peter mendelssohn, one of the architects of new labor said we sent out the search parties all over the world to find as many immigrants as we possibly could and i'm not against immigration, i want us to have sensible, managed, balanced immigration. for goodness sake, you have to vent people. that was 20 years ago, today when donald trump, surely this is the big take out when donald trump tries to make america safer, when he tries to make sure that these scenes that we've had in paris, brussels, berlin, and no london aren't repeated in america, we get people on fifth avenue and behind me on westminster out on the streets protesting. it seems to me our political
6:08 pm
leaders really ought to start saying sorry. >> tucker: i'm not certain any society has behaved the western society is now. what lessons are you taking in the wake of this? >> there are two, the first is to be desperately careful about who you let into your country, i know the vast majority 80% plus of muslims in britain according to our surveys want to be integrated and respect our way of life, the last thing we need to do is alienate them. you can't have open-door immigration and not to bring terrorism. that's exactly what the president is trying to do. the second problem are that some of those communities that exist within our countries and i'm closing britain as an example through our state run schools our prisons being radicalized. hard to believe, isn't it? in british prisons it's not one of the major sources of islamic terrorist recruitment, frankly
6:09 pm
we've simply got to get tough and we've got to get our security services all the weapons they need to counter this threat to british good luck and god bless you tonight, thank you. for more analysis on the atrocities we go to our terrorism panel, dr. luigi ferris advised both mitt romney and donald trump during the campaigns. they both join us here in washington. first to you, this is something we've seen before in effect but it's more shocking because it took place where it did right in the center of central london. is this part of an offensive, can we consider this an isolated case? how should we consider this? >> ideologically it is part of an offensive, this is a cosmos, we don't know if it's jihadist but terrorist. what stuns me about this observation is one i observed a
6:10 pm
knife in a car, no machine guns, no b sevens, that it defeats a lot of the systems that we have. how can we detect, how can we vent the weapon because the weapon is a mind, who was recruiting, who was radicalizing, are we good at venting? that question is asked in europe and now it's asked here. >> tucker: yeah, it does seem like a fence like this ad residence to the idea of who should be let in, anyone who wants has a moral and legal right to come up here, it rubs up against us in some ways, doesn't it? >> i would tack on to what dr. phares was just saying, this attack was right out of the playbook. normally in attack like this you have to go out hunting for clues about the perpetrator. in this case it's right in our faces. isis is literally instructed its worst weapon eyes vehicles, to carry out attacks and very
6:11 pm
public places for maximum sort of p.r. effect and things of that kind of nature. they have also instructed people to carry out attacks in the very heart to take the fight to the west, get it out of the middle east and bring it to the heart of western europe if you can. to me when you get to the point in which you can no longer even a state the obvious, it becomes a problem. that's the point we were getting too a few months ago. now the tables have turned and i would say to mr. nigel farage, this is the first major terrorist attack in the western world under the new world order with president trump here at home, teresa may in the u.k. this is very telling, the next 48 hours. >> tucker: i think that's exactly right, i thought wisely when attacks are committed with vehicles and knives, it suggested in someone's to hurt american citizens is nothing you can do about it. >> the other question that had
6:12 pm
races, we had that meeting of anti-isis with all these ministers presidents at the same time, you have the question. if we defeat isis in muzzle, if we defeat isis in speed 25, it'g geography it's about ideology, >> tucker: defeat them in bag didn't say don't have to fight them in boston certain concerns are to be nonsensical, i thought it was nonsensical than imperative president trump was marked by all the cool kids when he claimed his personal communications had been monitored by the obama administration. today the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee revealed that there probably is some truth in the president's claim, will look into that. big broadcast networks ignore this story completely, will have an update on the appalling rape of a girl by an illegal

6:16 pm
>> tucker: for weeks trump was ridiculed for the way obama administration, some evidence to support the president's claim, watch this. >> what i've read it seems to me to be some level of some level of surveillance activity, perhaps legal, but i don't know that it's right and i don't know that the american people would be comfortable with what i've
6:17 pm
read, but let us get all the reports. >> reporter: was the present correction will be tweeted? >> it is possible. a >> tucker: president trump reacted this way. >> reporter: do you feel vindicated by chairman's be 25? >> president trump: i somewhat do, i appreciated the fact that they found what they found. i somewhat do. >> tucker: this is a genuinely interesting development, we call more than 30 members of congress from both parties who had mocked the president's claim that he was surveilled, none of them agreed to come on, were joined by someone brave, the democratic strategist and senior director at bussell.com. >> that's the best intro ever. >> tucker: i was frustrated by the president's tweet, i thought it was imprecise i still think that. i think underlying that is an issue that we are ignoring leaving the press because the press hates trump and that is the u.s. government may have in effect misused the power of its intelligence agencies for political purposes, were not
6:18 pm
sure of that. it's a little bit weird that one administration would be surveilling a candidate or his staff during a presidential race on the other side. doesn't that give you pause? >> that's not what i understood happened today and watched congressman's be 25 saying. he said there may have been legal surveillance of foreign actors that incidentally picked up activity within trump tower. i think the real issue here is why were we surveilling people to make people within trump tower over speaking to and the fact that the president's claim is still as far as we know completely inaccurate and without foundation, that's what i took away from today. >> tucker: those are two separate things. let's go to the first one first. i think there is evidence that these investigations were initiated by the obama administration because they believe they were on tour ties between the trump administration and foreign actors. we know from the chairman's remarks from today that those names in the documents and the readouts from wiretapped in effect were not redacted which
6:19 pm
contravenes policy. you not supposed to leave the names opened and not supposed to be floating around the government systems. if they did leave the names unmasked it's a major violation. >> i had this conversation before i do think it's important to address that issue that those names were protected when they are supposed to be. i do know why republicans want to focus on that are not the donald trump made this claim without anything to back it up. we even have a breaking news report this evening that the fbi does have evidence that there was collusion between trump campaign members and russian operatives in order to damage hillary clinton and we'll see where that continues to go. >> tucker: i don't know that we have that, i think what we have is one of the democrats on the committee suggesting that there's evidence. i'm open-minded about that. here's the point. the idea that one administration might be using the massive intelligence gathering of the united states government for political purposes is a terrifying prospect and we've seen it before. we saw it with governor eliot
6:20 pm
spitzer of new york and i'm sorry to defend eliot spitzer because i know everyone doesn't like him and he's a liberal but i'm not, he was put under surveillance by the feds for the crime of adding money to his own bank account, he got caught up in the scandal nobody seems to care. we saw general david pretorius life destroyed they broke into his gmail account because why? this power has been misused again and again, it people are not popular in the press, they don't say anything about it but we should care. >> we absolutely should care, i'd like them to be separate conversations, but one doesn't equate to the other necessarily. >> tucker: it's the misuse of the information, we've seen this before. it does happen and you're not some sort of kooky flat earth or for believing someone can hurt citizens with these spying powers. >> i understand that and i'm happy to have that conversation but it doesn't make it all right that donald trump made this accusation is a former president of the united states of america was wiretapping him when we see
6:21 pm
no evidence of it. >> tucker: didn't we see some today? the chairman's of the house intelligence community. it >> what did he show you? he said maybe he had something that he thinks was legal when why did he not go to his committee members for us? why go to the white house first? and the press. >> tucker: that's a fair question but it ignores root of it all. it did happen. whether or not it's legal it's forgone, everything it's legal, the government could do whatever it wants the spying powers can be unlimited, and ordered by the president united states, the question is should you be doing it. he confirmed that intel agencies controlled by the obama administration were spying may be unintentionally maybe not on trump staffers like recently. if that's trump said in effect. >> not in effect, we've gone through so many iterations of what donald trump said. he put things in quotation marks, we've heard about microwave spying.
6:22 pm
we have to go back to the original tweet which is not what happened that we've heard from director call me, the head of the nsa, we've heard from nunes himself, adam schiff, richard barrera. everyone has had the original claim he made was unfounded. >> tucker: doesn't want to be 25 said today? how does that not back it up? he said maybe it wasn't trump himself credit >> that's what donald trump said. >> tucker: i have criticized the president to his face for being imprecise. there's something important here spying powers of the u.s. government seem like they may have been misused by the obama people, liberals should be really worried about that because of it can be done to trump and people you don't like it could be done people you do like. >> we know about spying, we know about what happened during the campaign, what wikileaks has done an exposed the emails and john podesta's cooking and all of that stuff. >> tucker: the u.s. government doing it to its own citizens,
6:23 pm
that's a third world, no? >> that's things going on in places like russia in places like china. that's disturbing, i'm just saying there are many conversations going on there and republicans only want to have that conversation with her support and other one about claims the president the in the united states of america had about the former president of the united states of america seemingly unfounded. he's tweeting gateway pundit and bill mitchell saying donald trump is always right. >> tucker: you don't need to retweet websites, you can just repeat with the terminus of the house intelligence community said, maybe he's lying. >> white and he show his own committee of the information it's a little freaky. >> tucker: if this is true, this is a bigger scandal than anything else about russia, is it not? >> if we find out that the future trump administration colluded with russia to influence the election that is massive. if we find out the obama
6:24 pm
administration was wiretapping donald trump through his phone or his microwave that is also massive. >> tucker: i will invite you back when we find out. up next will have more on the bloodbath today in london, one columnist has spent years warning her country there that multiculturalism is inviting violence, instead of listening they have heaped hatred upon her, a lot of it. join us after the break inflammatory substances that cause nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes. for relief beyond the nose. flonase.
6:28 pm
>> the car plowed into a lady, i think it was a lady, i'm not 100% sure. underneath the wheel, i could hear screams and then i heard the gunshots again and then on the bridge because we were crawling along the bridge, there were bodies literally. >> ten, 12 bodies, lying in different places along the bridge. >> tucker: at least five people are dead tonight in london and dozens more hurt after a terrorist ran over people with his car and went on a stabbing spree. kitty hopkins is a global columnist at dailymail.com, she is widely despised by fashionable british liberals by saying the countries altered cultural policies are making attacks like today's inevitable, she joins us tonight life. thanks for joining us, is it too much to say you were reviled by fashionable british liberals and why they so mad at you? >> the liberals are cross at me,
6:29 pm
they are london, london is a liberal city. we've seen a lot of this tonight after the attacks, everything that's gone here today, coming from the rest of the u.k., this foreign country compared to london. if people are said, i feel smaller as a result of the attacks today. i feel we have been taken from, we are in a country that spends so much time tiptoeing around of the cultures that choose to join us and not enough time defending the culture they've chosen to join, because i say those things, i am widely hated to for those views and what i'm tired of hearing on the media everywhere at the moment here is we will not be cowed by terror. we stand united great the big news is that's the message in london, that is not the message here in the u.k. people are cowed by one particular religion which is promoted by the muslim mayor,
6:30 pm
son of the bus driver, that's his only credential. people are a coward. below are afraid, people are not united. great britain is more disunited, absolutely divided. we are in fact a nation of ghettos. i think it liberals here actually think multiculturalism means we all die together and that's not a view i support. >> tucker: you have an idea of multiculturalism itself, you attack the idea of a multicultural society as inherently unworkable, am i mischaracterizing that? >> i was writing about it today at dailymail.com. i really believe all we are is a nation of ghettos. i can go to the west of london and i can find afghan is, they don't speak to the somalis who don't speak to the syrians come all that conflict, all that war
6:31 pm
come all that attention, that didn't get left behind they just brought it here, they are enclaves of individuals here in the cities and if we imagine we are united that we stand a strong, that's a lie. all of these hashtags, the visuals, the candles, making hearts one year on from brussels, that means nothing. to put that stuff away, don't turn the lights off on the eiffel tower, that isn't a solution. we did the solution we need to protect this country. for many outside this liberal city, we are losing the country we love to >> tucker: what was the point of the exercise that got us to this place, is it to make a small number of rich people feel virtuous and good about themselves? was there another reason to create a society like this? >> it seems to be this idea that it's a good idea to be multicultural. that's the accepted right answe answer. these days opinions are no
6:32 pm
longer -- you can't just have an opinion. opinions are either right or wrong, i would say there aren't any right or wrong opinions. life is not an exam, know what made you the individual later, somehow multiculturalism is the right at her answer. if people talk about attacks on joe cox by the far right like some kind of game of snapper one-upsmanship. we hear people say we are worried about making sure we offer support to the muslims communities. i'm sorry, that is not what the rest of the u.k. is thinking. the rest of the u.k. wants someone who was going to stand up for patriotic brits. somehow brexiteers like myself gets the hate when we want to defend the country. >> tucker: thanks a lot for joining us.
6:33 pm
up next will talk to the former muslims is president trump's travel ban is the right idea even if it is implemented badly. house speaker paul ryan's obamacare plan, will it go at the boat it needs on the hill tomorrow. the secretary of health and human services tom price will be with us to stay with the future of health care holds whether the bill passes or not. stay tuned for that longer liveh the uncertainties of hep c. wondering, what if? i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've
6:34 pm
ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. ready to let go of hep c? ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.
6:36 pm
6:37 pm
two words: it heals.e different? how? with heat. unlike creams and rubs that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation and accelerate healing. let's review: heat, plus relief, plus healing, equals thermacare. the proof that it heals is you. >> tucker: today's attack in london has provided another reminder is if we needed one of the danger posed by radical islam. extensive and expense with the dark side of that religion, she was raised in somalia and kenya as a devout muslim, later risked her life by coming on apostate and helping to create in a documentary criticizing islam, she said the religion must undergo the reformation, but travel ban has the right idea even if it is implemented badly. why is it that so many on the
6:38 pm
left internationally and in great britain and all through europe, why do so many have trouble coming to terms with the religious component of the violence? >> it's masochistic, it's stupid if you look at the islamists, they don't go to the liberals and say thank you so much for letting us take over, will stop terrorizing you. they don't do it. if >> tucker: which you are saying, the islamists don't want sensitivity above all that's not their goal. >> the islamists want one thing a sharia society and eventually the world. it sounds crazy to you and me and everyone else but that's their objective. they want to get there through an infrastructure of indoctrinating people into accepting it and other ways of intimidating and forcing them to do it and violence. whoever is in there how nice the liberals are, how accommodating and obliging there, that's the
6:39 pm
objective of the islamists. if you don't understand that i don't think you should be in the business of making legislation or in the business of the leadership of enforcing. you're incapable of understanding that problem. >> tucker: that would disqualify virtually everyone in charge of making policy in the country except for about four people. >> not everyone. >> tucker: about most. if there is this feeling that we don't have the moral standing in the west to criticize islamism. >> and they remind us that we don't have that moral standing because the islamist sees non-muslims and non-muslim ideas, as illegitimate as against the idea of god. and i think we empower them because every time we have appease and appease, they seek god's hand. their perceptions of god, they seek god's hand making it easy
6:40 pm
for them to advance their agenda. they don't hear it's a decent, civilized society that it's time to understand and give them tim time. and try to persuade them to put their weapons down, that's not how they see it. >> tucker: fascinating. you had qualified as support for president trump's travel event, why? >> i listened to his speech in youngstown, ohio, when he was a candidate and he named the problem, we have a problem with radical islamic ideology. he put in the same context as fascism, national socialism, and communism. it's the ideology of the day. he went with a travel bag it was clumsy. he should have had lawyers and legislators, he should have done it differently. it doesn't take away from the fact that there are sometimes failed or weak states. it's incredibly difficult to have people that are coming from
6:41 pm
there. he has intelligence and information that we don't have. if he says these are the seven countries that i'm going to impose a temporary travel ban on until we have sorted out a venting system, that is inventing for ideology, then i don't see any problem with that. i would look for all sort of hidden things behind that. >> tucker: it seems like getting people from foreign countries, not just islamic countries but especially islamic countries to buy into the values of the west is really important. do you think we do enough? >> i don't think we do enough. i think to go back to that, when he was a candidate to go back to that speech he did mention and assimilation. he said that we have to have muslims, foreigners, aliens to come assimilating? they must want to come here they must want to love our society. i think we don't do enough in the west, i have been here for
6:42 pm
20 years, i forget, that long. what i see as an apology, unapologetic attitude to western civilization. that is wrong. you are seen as weak and you're inviting aggression if you do that. >> tucker: our leaders hate themselves and the countries they run and so they inculcate that into new arrivals. it is wonderful to have you that was really wise, thank you. up next, obamacare is crumbling everyone agrees with that, the republican party's replacement may not be so great either. whatever happens, hhs secretary tom price will be in charge of cleaning up the mess and he'll be with us next for an exclusive interview to explain how he plans to do that, stay tuned. fe. get a cash rebate of up to $3,000 on selected models. fe. or get the outlander l, starting at $5,499. visit your local dealer for details. can-am. the ride says it all. you need one of these.
