we'll see you back here tomorrow night. e straight ahead as tucker gets musical ♪ >> tucker: welcome to tucker carlson tonight, the president arrived in texas today, the state is still grappling with a devastating flooding caused by hurricane harvey, more than a dozen people have been confirmed dead. the rain is still coming down tonight. fox's trace gallagher is in kingwood texas where he joins us. >> you've got to see this, they've just rex mosquito deere people just won't leave. these boats are good to be ending for jeanette, if he abode come by, you need to get on it because or may not be another one. earlier today, president trump

was in corpus christi, he was taken to an underground command center and he got the lay of the land inside there. they gave him logistics on how much damage had happened in houston and they also gave him an outline of what needs to be done in this very long recovery. listen to the president. >> this has been a total cooperative effort again, we will see you soon. if i will tell you, this isc historic, it's epic, what happened. you know what's quick to markets happened in texas and texas can handle anything. thank you all. >> texas can handle anything and the president got a chance to fly over and look at the damage for himself on his way from corpus christi to austin, and when he got to austin, texas, he had a very good understanding that the government is going to be in this for the long haul, listen again. >> the sad thing is that this is

long-term, nobody has ever seen in figs this long period of the wind was pretty horrific but the water has never been seen like this to this extent. it's maybe someday going to disappear, we keep waiting. >> i want to show you this very quickly. this is was the president saw 30,000 feet. these are hundreds of houses and a very upscale neighborhood here in lake houston and the damage is just unfathomable. 400 people taken out on rescue boats were among the last of them tonight. >> tucker: not just people but dear, good for them. thanks lots. with so much going on in houston in the world you would think maybe the press would have more to worry about than what the first lady wears but no after melania trump was spotted ordering air force one in high heels, many outlets and pundits the side of those heels were

proof that the first lady is a modern-day marie l antoinette. "the daily beast" said melania trump heads to houston and sky-high stilettos. writer maria del russo dubbed her a flood watch barbie and added this outfit literally screams i am touch elitist and what is a hurricane? "the new york times" asked when is a shoe not just issue. the headlines caused it, she changed her sneakers and she was not seen eating cake. if i'm reading these, i'm not much of a huge a feminist but i bet you maria dello russo is. here she is judging a woman on her footwear. that sounds like the war on women, what do i know is a man? take it away. >> clearly a lot of sexism going on there. what it's based in, they are harpies. they are jealous and they are envious. melania trump is a woman who ws stressed always appropriately

based on thestsh circumstance. she exited the white house and a pair of heels she felt was appropriate. a pair of slacks and a jacket, clearly going to an airplane which already had her change of clothes prepared for her to change into. so that she would beea ready to what she would be wearing going into the disaster zone. they trump haters, the people who prefer to think badly of other people are going to do this. the first lady is very well liked, she said a tremendous impact of where she goes. she makes a big difference, the president clearly also has helped a lot of people based on his enthusiasm and his encouragement which is part of his job. i think they want to drag other people down. the american people say that for what it is. i think obviously most of us are very proud of the first lady. >> tucker: here's the weird thing, i don't personally have strong feelings aboutut her one way or the other, i don't know her. i do remember very well the rule that all of us learned during the last campaign. hillary clinton taught it to us and thatt is when you criticize

one woman, you are criticizing all women. an attack on one is an attack on all. she seems like she's getting an exemption from that, how does this work? >> i think of course they are being hypocritical and they are saying that when it works for them. at the same time, you've got melania trump who really does exemplify the nature of somebody who was doing what she wants to do, she is in charge of her environment. as proud of her appearance. knows what it is like and it chooses to approach being first lady in a way that can make all of us proud. mostly what it is, i come back to the issue of what you have like in the mean girls at school. you have somebody who comes in, people are jealous and they attack her because it'st unfamiliar or they see what they want to see because they can't admit that thiss couple is good for the country, that melania trump is good also when it comes to the issues she is working on, she's a great mother, a great reputation in new york for how

she is taking care of baron and her household. when you're dealing with a group like a vanity and "people" magazine who really make a living on either telling people how to live or highlighting the rich and famous, i think it's a little hypocritical. >> tucker: its situational feminism britt i would love to get a list of the woman protected from criticism and those who aren't. cnn, i've got to admit i feel guilt is showing this video because i've had some uncomfortable videos myself. probably nothing like this. the network try to talk to a flood survivor in houston and got this response, watch. >> you're trying to interview people during their worst times, that's not the smartest thing to do. people are really breaking down you're sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask what is wrong. if we're shivering cold. my kids wet and you still putting a microphone in my face. >> it's on so you've got a very

upset family there. >> tucker: they do sound like a very upset>> family. upset specifically at cnn. can you think of anything more unsettling having survived dealing with ad natural disaste? >> we've seen this, this is something most americans have wanted to say to reporters who try to catch people at their most vulnerable. either in an evacuation situation, an emergency, a funeral. it's almost like disaster or grief, i would have to say with all that new media, with evert being exposed to so much media, i think people might be feeling a t lot more comfortable to say what's on their minds these day days. >> tucker: it's always great to see you, thank you. a professor at the university of tampa is out of the job tonight after he suggested hurricane harvey was comic graduation on the state of texas for daring to

vote as it did in last fall's presidential election. ed henry is on the story, he joins us in studio. >> it puts a new meeting into the term trump derangement syndrome. a professor of all things in sociology at the university ofhi tampa, some delicate sunday teaching the generation, tweeted texans deserved it's because they helped elect donald trump. tweeting i don't believe an instant, but this kind of feels like it for texas. if hopefully this will help them realize the g.o.p. doesn't care about them. you can imagine there was a justifiable freak out on social media. when people started pressing him on it, he doubled down. the he tweeted the good people there need to do more to stop the evil of the state pushes. i'm only blaming those who support the g.o.p. there. how charitable to only blame the republicans are not the democrats in theto storm.

he wasf suggesting trump supporters in tampa and the rest of the sunshine state also should suffer from a nasty storm.ai he said those who voted for him here deserve it as well. the professor on monday tried to change his story tweeting his regrets. he wants everyone affected by harvey to recover and he never meant to wish any ill will. not enough for the university of tampa, today they fired him, we condemned the comments in the sentiment behind them, and understand the pain this irresponsible act has caused. as floridians, we are well aware of the destruction and suffering associated with tropicalma weather. indeed they do, making this all the more horrifying from a professor of sociology which teaches the functioning of human society. >> tucker: what percentage of sociology professors, what percentage effectively of facus

are deranged? i want to proceed to answer it, i think we all know it's a very high percentage. >> how could he do this quote to mark >> tucker: i got the college i tweeted to set let them all die. >> a "twitterstorm," they said no. the press is increasingly aware that anti-for are actually violent, will talk to a journalist who has encountered that violencele firsthand.. bringing the latest from houston, texas, the raid remarkably still falling on that flooded city, stay tuned. accid. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight- four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it.

♪ >> tucker: you are looking at live pictures of the president coming back from >> tucker: you're looking at live pictures of the president coming back from his trip to texas, he returned after viewing the catastrophic damage there. back to andrews air force base, right across the river from washington, d.c. meanwhile, back home people are waking up to that routine violence of left-wing activists att protests, we've seen it a lt the past couple of weeks in the name of stopping fascism, agitators are showing up at rallies and quickly getting violent. this past weekend, even "the washington post" was forced against its will to admit that violence in berkeley, california, was the work of masked left-wingers. journalist tim a poll recentlyge attended one of these rallies and quickly became a target off threats.

get out of here, seriously get out of here. did you hear what they say their? you really believe them?>> i'm not a tough guy, i'm a journalist. i'm not making a joke out of it. >> tucker: the men being barked out in the video joins us as does former berkeley radical donna carol thanks for joining us, i watched that whole video yesterday. it's really menacing. it raises the question i have witches who are these people? the masked people, anti-for, however your pronouncing it. this is a full-time gig? what do they believe?

>> it seems to be a mix of people, predominately i found communists.e there is a lot of socialists involved in some anarchists. when you see the violent scum of the people who are willing to be more violence tend to be more communist, that's structure ideology, the anarchists are loose and don't believe in authority. that video isn't the worst british this guy didn't even touch me. i've been physically attacked by people, associated in the far left in the past. that confrontedd me for seemingy no reason, this guy doesn't know me, he doesn't know what i'm'm doing. i was just walking by in boston with a camera and immediately i got bombarded by a group of people with masks on it yelling at me. >> tucker: if you're looking for the pace of pay debts that righter there. there are a bunch of mug shots of these guys and without the face coverings, mostly young middle-class white kids. not a very diverse group.

you were a campus radical sometime ago, part of an earlier generation. correct me if i'm wrong but the generation who belongs to head a strong political views, once i disagreed with but at its core there was a belief in free speech. wasn't there? >> absolutely. that's berkeley, that's free speech. >> tucker: that's gone. not only is it gone, i don't hear anybody morning it's passing, presumably a lot of mainstream liberals believe in freeil speech, it was one of the pillars of their movement, what they believe. i don't hear them standing up to demand the right of others they disagree with to have their say, why? >> i should've said that wasn't berkeley. it's ironic that it wasn't berkeley and now it's where grand central is for a limiting free speech. everyd. protest is being crushe, it doesn't matter who it is or

what it is. >> tucker: it's really noticeable. what are they want? what does this group want? >> unfortunately it's not one group of people, it tends to be a fractured for people who share enough of their ideologies that they're willing to get violence to do it. i find that many of them believe they are fighting over liberation app revolution against the empire of the united statess. as soon as they decide to get violence to push those ideas, they discredit themselves bird i don't think there is unified cause behind them. many of the people associated today for antifa, they would chant, it's hard to pin down exactly what as a single group or a single ideology what they are trying to do is. it tends to change with the trend. >> tucker: we were forever

trying to book some of these people because i'm sincerely interested in what they are after. if you look back at the protest movement, all of all of them had a goal. i don't think i understand what their goal is other than burning every thing down, do you? >> that's the goal, they have no driving philosophy, they are all about anarchy. if there's a couple of anarchists it makes the whole group anarchists, that's where they fight against free speech in boston or antiracism in berkeley. it doesn't matter what, if people are out there expressing themselves, they're going to shut them down. >> tucker: it's obviously a fight against civilization itself and we should all join in fighting back because that's threatening. thank you. micro has kept himself away from partisan politics but one man online baited him and try to

mike rowe is a champion of working americans, he doesn't talk about politics very much because why would he? recently an online critic try to claim that he was trying to promote white nationalism simpla by being apolitical. here's how he responded. allow me to say how much i dislike your post. everything about it annoys me, your smoke and a snarky tone, your appalling grammar. your complete lack of evidence atsupport your claims and the overarching logical fallacy that informs your entire position. meantime, mike rowe joins us tonight. good to see you. >> tucker: that's probably my favorite response i've read a longe time. >> he got me in a weak moment. >> tucker: you said that i

don't address politics and he has this line and here i underlined it because i liked it so much. i can't think of a single celebrity whose political opinion i value and i'm not going to assume the country feels any differently about min mine. i love that. >> i occupy some weird real estate because i run a nonpartisan foundation and i use facebooky extensively both to raise money and to get the word out about closing the skills gap and our scholarshipp program. when you run a foundation like that, you come face-to-face with all kinds of educational topics. you come face-to-face with all sorts of work-related things and today as you certainly know, everything is politicized. those topics in particular, they break down. i don't respond online to people who call me names, i don't care. i kind of like it. this guy conflated racism with

politics with my foundation and in a tautological, rhetorical way wound up insulting 5 million of my friends andie supporters. 200 years ago it would've been pistols at dawn. today, if this is what we're going to do, please come back with some organized thoughts to make a persuasive case. otherwise don't. >> tucker: you one thatan engagement, i'm not sure i could do this justice. you're trying to explain why his logic doesn't hold up. you use the same set of reasoning, the same method of reasoning to explain why he himself is a bigot based on his spelling, canau you explain to r audience how you did that? >> i think it's the very first line, what he basically did was he worked off an assumption in the assumption was white nationalists and white supremacists areem all academic,

the opposite of academic elitists. they think everybody who went to college is an elitist. he then argued that republicans are reporting anti-intellectualism as a trope by not offering any proof, he pivoted and said republicans love you, conservatives love you, ergo white nationalists love you and because you have remained silent in i the face of recent events, then you in fact are tacitly endorsing their love of bad things. vis-a-vis their affection for your foundation. it was said nuanced kind of argument but is not unusual. it's kind of like saying that because all of the terrorists on 9/11 were muslim and from saudi arabia, then everybody who is muslim from saudi arabia is a terrorist. it's a very basic but it's

become kind of insidious. everywhere you turn emma if you look for logical fallacies nowadays, you'll find them. you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. >> tucker: it's a negative challenge, prove you're p not. you're studiously nonpolitical. you've chosen not to be politicalti in public and that itself is taken as a political statement in this moment, what does that say about where prolific right now? >> edmonds of the country is sa sad. part of the reason why we feel that collective is because everyone we look, veins are bulging and spittle is flying and people are making all kinds of bad arguments. i'm not even talking about a reasonable disagreement, i'm talking about the flawed logic that allows all kinds of crazy things to be said on both sides

of the aisle. that's what strikes me. i typically don't wait into it but when you argue that people who go to college wind up doing x, y, and z and people who don't goho to college wind up waving e wrong flag at the wrong rally and becoming a de facto white supremacist, you're not only generalizing, you're using our educational system as the proximate cause not of intelligence or knowledge but of racism. that's crazy. it's happening all of the time. the not for what you say, you're guilty because you didn't rush to condemn a flood after it rained. why would you do that? >> tucker: i love the fact that you're not political, you

gotta show overnight, will link to it in our facebook page. what is it about? >> i'm not even sure it's a show. it's called returning the favor and it's the first thing facebook is doing in terms of content. we had a candid conversation not unlike were having right now months ago. they were like what you want to do? i said what i would love to do is to show that proves not everybody in the country is h a schmuck. let's find people who do nice things and hang out with them and surprise them by doing something outrageously nice for them. if people seem to dig a tad more than anything else, -- dirty jobs was a love letter to hardworking people. this is the same thing, it's not focused on work so much, it's a focused on what we are about to see in houston, you watch, you're going to see people come

from all over the country to help. if we're going to feel better when we watch that spirit my operating premise is if you watch enough knuckleheads protesting over here about this and if you watch enough racist over there about that, pretty soon that's what you're going to -- you're going to assume the whole country is full of that. >> tucker: that's why yourr show is going to bebe the bigget thing on facebook i predict that. thank you, great to see you. >> i'm not going bet against yo you. thank you. >> tucker: you've heard it before, trump's mussolini, vladimir putin, literallyy hitler.ng the black lives matter cofounder is going all the way, saying trump is a plan to exterminate people, will show you what she says coming up. we'll give you every update good and bad, human and deer related from the city of houston, will be right back ♪ it's me and my

costs. this president tried to kill our community. >> tucker: don jones is a democratic strategist and she joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. were not in the realm of political debate here. that's when extremism looks like. by definition, if you think someone is hitler, you wouldn't debate his policies, you would do it dietrich bonhoeffer tried to do you would try to take them out based force. do you think she really means that? >> she absolutely means it and i completely agree with her. his policies have been ratcheting uphe over at the time of him running his campaign until now just recently with him pardoning the arizona sheriff. it is becoming very concerning it people like black lives matter and other folks who are watching and to have known that he would be a problem have the right to teach and to get people prepared to resist c him at all costs.

we are still a democracy so were not going to try to remove him from office by force. we are certainly not going to allow him to enact his plan. it >> tucker: what does that mean at all costs? it doesn't mean at all costs. you're engaging it over statement i assume. >> it may be over statement but let be very honest about what all costs means. we have tot make sure it we have people at our local and state level that are going to combat some of these trumpp policies. even though he is encouraging the police to hurt individuals who have not even been adjudicated guilty, that we teach people in our community that that will not be accepted. that is at allll costs. we will notur allow him to take over our media by trying to escape go to them and all the other minorities in the community, we are going to fight back. that is at all costs. >> tucker: the media is the minority group now? >> let me be clear, he will scapegoat the media and he will scapegoat minority groups separately.

both of those things are characteristics that hitler used in order to have his rain during his regime. he tried to make it as though all the areas the reason that te germans could not succeed, just like a trump tries to say all minorities and immigrants are the reason why americans can have jobs. if >> tucker: he says you disagree with, did hitler have a lot of media against him in germany after he took power? to the people like you going on tv and calling him names courts mark was there any opposition allowed in public? >> what hitler did his first he change everybody's ideology. after he did that, he only limited to certain edm outlets thatll he himself allowed people to learn from. that's exactly what we see trump try to do. to make it so people don't trust the media, what they don't trust the media, he's makingat it his own trump television so he can put out all of his rhetoric and the people

who are following him are going to believe him. those of the kind of people that hitler used to take over. >> tucker: i assume is an article of faith with you and with manyrs others in black livs matter that trump is atr bigot. if you found out that trump or any of his supporters had a meeting or a party and excluded people who were not white from that event, what would you say about that? >> i would say for trump it's probably part of the course i would not be surprised if he already had several meetings in which he excludes people who are not of color.ab you can look at pictures of his roundtable. he pretty much has already done that. w >> tucker: there's no evidence said, we know for a m fact that black lives matter across the country in a bunch of different cities is not speculation, it's effective talked about it hasy excluded people who aren't black, why is

between black lives matter, they're not the present the n united states. >> tucker: i'm not saying they have as much power as trump or anything like that. i'm saying in new york city, there was a black only memorial day party. at same in philadelphia, the leadership on your social media was asked is it black only courts mark yes, it is. they said yes it's black only. that seems like that textbook dictionary definition of racism. how can you be involved in a group that does that, that's my question to you? >> i can't speak to the memorial day event that you're discussing. >> tucker: is not just one event. there are specific events from which people have been excluded based on their race. isn't that what racism is? and i guess that i thought you were to, why would you be part of a group that did that? >> i wanted that they have because i wasn't there. the events that i have participated in that i have

>> tucker: two years ago spoon two years ago, seattle introduced a gun tax on all guns and ammunition sold in the city. the justification was that would raise money and it would reduce gun violence. it has been successful in that if this driven most gun sales into the suburbs but it's raised far less revenue than expected and into the though nothing to lower crime. shootings are in fact up substantially for this year. the only proper response to a failed policy is to double down. it's called faith-based policymaking. city councilman john graham says the city ought to double the tax to raise more money.

senior advisor to guns down, he joins us tonight.wh i know that as someone who believes in science, we were just talking about science and the commercial break, you want to go by theo data. if i sell a policy on the basis of a promised outcome and that outcome not only fails to materialize but the opposite happens, than i probably ought to pause and rethink my assumptions. that doesn't seem to be the case here. >> the reason the city council decided to impose this gun tax was to raise money for gun violence research. >> tucker: that's not what is you know. y >> the purpose of this was revenue, all governments want more money. the idea was if you tax something, it will reduce its use. the opposite happened. i'm not going to demagogue at this, i'm not blaming the stupid law for the increase of violence in seattle. i'm merely saying it had no effect. we know that for sure. >> the city council actually

said, the idea was t not to the sale of guns in the way we do with other kinds of syntaxes. they say it's just about revenue. in fairness, if you want to raise more money and you want to discourage gun purchases by raising taxes, they should do it statewide. otherwise what happens is your driving gun sales out of seattle into the suburbs. >> tucker: there's no reason the city of seattle which can't keep that side was clean as you know should be doing scientific research into gun violence. it's not the proper role of the city. it would be totally politicized. do you think it's interesting that the violence went up, what does that tell you about gun control? >> i think it's correlation not causation.. >> can you think of a state, any state in america where there is a directn connection between gun laws, gun control laws and more violence, i see the opposite, i see the most liberal gun states have one of the lowest murder

rates. >> i still work for mike bloomberg, the safest big city of its size and any part of the country, part of the reason is it's very o hard to carry a gun there, they don't hand out too many permits for that. >> not true, actually new york cityy have had the same gun laws, average people are totally shafted for generations. it was one of the most dangerous cities in the country 20 yearsrs ago. we have no idea why it became secret, we know. that the gumbos have remained the same. if easy access to guns makes for a dangerous place, why is wyoming so safe? >> there are plenty of guns in wyoming, they don't usually happen as a result of crime. a good counterexample is california. they have some of the toughest gun laws in the country. a huge state as you know and they have comparatively lower gunow violence. i think there is causation there. tougher gun laws and lower crime rates.

>> tucker: what about chicago courts mark >> at chicago is a tough example. part of f a reason why it makes sense to have a federal gun laws, while they have a tough gun laws, people who want to get guns on the credible locket just up to leave there. >> tucker: i've heard there, that's not really the problem. you know as well as i come on gun control is not really about making a city or state safe, it's about controlling the population. in disarming them. >> you don't believe that believe that. >> tucker: i emphatically do believe it, i think obvious like gun control people after watching this lot fail is pushing to double down. it tells you everything, it's not about making the city safer, it's getting more dangerous. >> all i can tell you is i been doing this work for ten years. nobody who does this stuff is concerned about controlling the populace. they don't want 90 people to be killed with guns in this country every day.

that's something that doesn't happen with countriese that look and feel like a spirit >> tucker: it's more complicated than you're suggesting. if guns are so bad, i've never gotten a real answer. why does mike burke have armed bodyguards? if i run a bodega in the bronx, i don't get to carry a gun, he runs around with a billionaire with all discuss with automatic weapons, why is it fair for him courts mark >> guess what he's protecting himself against. bad guys with guns. >> tucker: his life is more valuable i don't think it's more valuable courts i think he's a total hypocrite, if guns are so bad why does he surround himself with them. the bullet will risk, delivery men can't have them courts mark >> people who were in the public eye are in a higher risk, i don't begrudge them having bodyguards, the best solution to that so that mike bloomberg and

you don't need bodyguards is to make bad guys not not get gunsn the first place. > tucker: up next, the latest in the deadly flooding in houston, texas, this is a financial transaction secure from hacks and threats others can't see. this is a skyscraper whose elevators use iot data and ai to help thousands get to work safely and efficiently. this is not the cloud you know. this is the ibm cloud. the ibm cloud is the cloud for enterprise. yours. the ibm cloud is the cloud for enterprise. it's ok that everybody ignoit's fine.n i drive. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. and i don't share it with mom! right, mom?! righhht. safe driving bonus checks. only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it.

rescue crews have capsized because underneath this a brown murky water art submerged fire hydrants, cars underwater, street signs, that the boats are crashing into. the sheriff'sty deputy told me s boat had a light post and the current almost ripped himrr awa. all these boats need fuel to rescue these people and one texas rancher has been sustaining this entire rescue operation. he brought 600 gallons of fuel with him and he's literally have been keeping this rescue operation afloat. they've been clearing vacant houses, marking them with spray paint. a lot of people still don't want to leave. most of them once a night comes probably won't be able to come up tucker. >> tucker: that is the most self-sufficient state out of 50, it is remarkable. thanks a lot for the update. it's going to be a long night in kingwood. that's it for us tonight unfortunately tune in every night to the show that's his sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink.
