impacted by harvey you're in our thoughts and prayers and rooting hard for a quick recovery for you and your loved ones. goodnight, everybody. >> this is a fox news alert. i'm kimberly in tonight for sean. rescuers go door to door searching for victims in texas as officials understanding the devastation caused by the devastation. so far nearly 100,000 homes have been damaged or completely destroyed. vice president mike pence was on the ground earlier today to survey the destruction firsthand and offer support. take a look. >> as the president said in his visit here earlier this week and said again yesterday, i say today, on behalf of the american people with the leadership of president trump to the people of texas, we're with you today, we

will be with you tomorrow and we will be with you every day until this great state and these great communities recover and rebuild to be even better and stronger than ever before. >> president trump has also pledged to donate $1 million of his own money to victims of the natural disaster. tonight growing concerns over the potential for a new storm system to develop in the gulf. a full report on that in just a minute. first, trace gallagher is on the ground in woodland, texas tonight. >> reporter: it shows beaumont texas the water is rising and in houston the water is receding. it's true people are going back in their homes in some neighborhoods able to assess the damage. that only tells half the story because there are a lot of neighborhoods around the houston area where the water is just now coming in, where the flooding is coming in and the rescue effort

is back in high gear. watch. six days after the storm and the sun is shining and the water is rising. imagine, if you will, five days after the storm someone comes to your house and says you have to evacuate. that's what's happening in several neighborhoods around the area. these are all vulnerable to the reservoirs. the water keeps flowing over. if you don't let enough water out you have the possibility of the dam bursting and then everybody gets flooding so they let enough out that only certain neighborhoods get flooded and the rescue effort ramps back up. how many rescues have you had here in the last couple days. >> we pulled more than 50, 60 people out. >> 60 people out of this neighborhood and it goes on in several other areas around this houston area. the thing is as some people decide to stay for a multitude of reasons, because their lives

are not in danger the rescue teams are not pushing them to ma mandatorily leave. these are people who just two days ago thought they dodged a big bullet and it did not turn out that way. kimberly. >> trace, thank you so much. let's go to steve harrigan in texas tonight. steve. >> reporter: kimberly, the waters are rising east of houston in this area where i am it is still an active rescue operation. throughout the day today we saw a number of water rescues and people going out in flat bottom boats and helicopters and a mix of people going door to door to save who they could. a number of people on boats are volunteers. some have come from far away like this man we spoke to.

>> they needed help. we had the time. we were fortunate to help them in the time of need and that's what it's all about. >> reporter: he came from arkansas on his own dime. he's been rescuing people here the past two days. even people who survived the flood who evacuated early and got out in time are suffering now and many got clothes for a day or two not thinking the water would stay this high, this long and we've seen them come to the edge of the water and point down this street to their neighborhoods. some of those neighborhoods and sond of the houses completely invisible underwater. back to you. >> thank you, steve. in orange, texas tonight is rick lev levanthal with the latest. >> reporter: we're in one of the communities under water in southwest texas though there wasn't a donarop of rain.

there's a lot of water. the national guard has been senti senting -- sending boats out all day and they had to pull it out of the water because the water is starting to recede and the boat is now too big so they're sending out flat bottom boats to continue with the efforts and will continue in earnest tomorrow morning. flooding is a major issue in the region including beaumont with another major issue is the lack of running water. the main pump station and the secondary pump station both inundated overnight and they lost water for 120,000 residents of the city of beaumont. it forced a hospital to evacuate 200 patients at baptist beaumont. the first 16 taken out were elderly patients from a nursing

home and spent the night in the hospital and this morning had to be get on helicopters to another hospital with running water. not just people being rescued and evacuated but animals as well. we were on the north end of beaumont earlier today where beaumont firefighters were rescuing a couple horse escaped their stables and wound up on the front porch of a house engulfed in deep water. the horses were scared and trapped. these firefighters worked tirelessly to encourage the horses, in one case pulling one with a rope and guiding it out of the flooded neighborhood so the two horses could be brought to dry land. that neighborhood flooded today though it wasn't raining. in some parts of texas the water was rising today and that's an ongoing concern and the rescues will continue around the clock. >> thank you so much, rick. as we see a developing situation. as texas continues to recover from hurricane harvey, a new

storm system may be developing in the gulf. adam klotz is in the storm center with more. >> the peak of the season isn't until september 12 so there's plenty of activity to track. hurricane harvey is now in the northern portions of louisiana and we'll see nashville and lexington get hit from the low pressure system arriving saturday. as it moves that direction, not the 30, 40 inches but still pretty significant rainfall as you look at places outside of nashville and scattering to the east. you're looking at widespread rain because of what once was hurricane harvey. there's a couple other systems we're paying attention to. real quick, this one only a 10% chance of become storm in the next five days but right there in the gulf of mexico. it's not a place where we want to see a rain maker form.

it could run up to the houston area along the gulf coast. let's hope that one doesn't come to fruition. one that's always been created, a monster across the atlantic, already a category 3 going up category 4 and some models show a cat-5. you'll be running up to tuesday and it still hasn't made louisville. -- landfall. one model has it to the east coast. the other to southern portions of the caribbean. this is one we'll be watching for the next week or so, kimberly. >> adam klotz, thank you so much in the fox news extreme weather center. for more on the recovery efforts is texas lieutenant governor dan patrick. lieutenant governor, thank you so much for being with us tonight for this very important story. >> hi, kimberly. >> tell our viewers where you think things stand in terms of

the rescue and recovery efforts. >> it has moved across the state about 300 miles. now you have the most current and most important rescue going on in beaumont as you just reported. that's where the water's the heaviest but the rescue continues in houston. it was a wind-damaged storm in the west and became a flooding storm. we have 300,000 people in shelters. that means 300,000 to 400,000 people have been displaced and some are in hotels. then we have 14,000 guard troops deployed. we have security and rescue efforts going on. and we have about 500 roads still closed. but i want to thank president trump who was on this before the storm hit. we've gotten tremendous cooperation. this is the worst of times for

many but the best of times by seeing the quality of the american volunteer coming from other states and the quality of the volunteerism of texans. you saw first responders swimming next to a horse. we had our own dunkirk to come in and we've had many brave first responders. >> what else do you think in terms of viewers watching at home. what's the best way to direct their efforts to provide assistance or help for those in need? >> first give to either red cross or samaritans purse and charities. we need a lot of money. many of these people didn't have flood insurance. they've lost everything. the only thing they have is the backpack on their backs and they lost their homes, clothes and furniture but they have their lives. the biggest disaster probably in

the history of america, natural disaster and every life is precious but right now we think a dozen people have lost their lives. that's a miracle. we need prayers and financial help. remember this, kimberly, right now when much of america was divided they're all focussed and helping texas and in texas there's no republicans or democrats or no white, black or brown or moderates or conservatives. we're one texas helping each other. texas tough will provide and prevail and will lead to show others how to take on those types of disasters as we learn from this and we learned from disasters in the past. >> certainly texas a shining example to the rest of the country on what we can do when we come together and president trump echoing those same comments and sentiments you're sharing with our viewers in terms of coming together. those criticize and question the

president's action saying he doesn't show empathy enough or should have hugged victims of the storm but it creates a logistical problem when you have someone coming up like a president and shutting down areas where relief is sorely needed. >> i saw the president tuesday and had a chance to visit with him with our governor and we think he played it pitch perfect. he didn't get in the way of first responders and came into corpus where things settled in a little bit. there's still issues there but he inspired people and said i'm leading on the issue. what i like about the president, he's a business guy. he looks at this and says, we have a problem, what do we need to get back in texas and get texas up and running and fix it. he has been all in from the declaration that came so quick as he said 35 seconds before the storm really hit. he and governor abbott worked

well together and i'm proud of the president and what they're doing and brock long from fema is doing a great job for us, we know it will be a long recovery. we still have problems as reports showed. it will be weeks before many people get in their homes. months before others and a year or more before everything is back to the new normal. but i'm grateful for everyone our local officials, county judge and mayors. every day we have a briefing at 8:00 a.m. you can't imagine the long list we have to go down like beaumont. we'll have to supply bottled water that has to be trucked in. i was in victoria yesterday, i think it was -- the days are all one, as of yesterday we were shipping in bottles of water for 80,000 people. that's a massive effort to get in. >> a huge undertaking. >> it's a tremendous operation. wave been through it before. nothing like this. but again it was the worst of times and the best of times. i'm so proud to be a texan and so proud of all americans

outside of texas who decided they wanted to be a texan. i always tell people when i give a speech. nobody moves to texas. they arrive here and texas moves into them. >> and they want to stay. >> they do, by the way. >> a luxury, water, what we take for granted every day for anybody the elderly and infirmed to be able to survive and water continuing to rise in some areas. this is far from over but as you say texas is strong and i understand the president is coming back to see you. >> i understand he's coming in saturday. i believe he's coming into houston. by the way, our hearts go to louisiana and other states experiencing the rain as it moves up through tennessee and other areas. kimberly, it is a difficult time for so many. people have to go to their new

normal, if they're displaced, where do their kids go to school. you can buy new stuff and repair sheetrock and get new carpet but you can't replace your life. people are so grateful just to be safe and alive. i was out with a rescue truck in a neighborhood with high water the other day and no one knew i was on the truck. i'm just helping the volunteers and a lady came up to me in a neighborhood that was desolate like a ghost town and she came up and happened to recognize me and said if i'd known you were coming i'd have made you dinner. i thought what a great spirit she had. i said don't you want to get on the truck? she said no, i'm going to rescue

my cats and i'm going to do the back stroke back to my house. >> sean: so many inspirational stories. >> kimberly, thank you and fox for everything you all have been doing. you've been putting focus on tis. we really appreciate it. we really appreciate it. >> certainly. it's our job to do that and bring it to the viewers at home. lieutenant governor thank you so much for sharing these stories and giving us insight. texas under water but resilient and strong. coming up the french satirical magazine charlie hebdo are under fire for mocking hurricane harvey and mike huckabee responds next and there's serious explaining to do because two senators are saying he decide to let hillary clinton off the hook before interviewing key witnesses in her e-mail case. stay with us. i love to eat. i love hanging out with my friends. i have a great fit with my dentures. i love kiwis.

the controversial magazine charlie hebdo is causing outrage depicting people who drowned as nazi. saying god exists. he drowned all the neo-nazis of

texas. and there's a cartoon of a texan wearing a confederate flag. joining us is mike huckabee. thank you for joining us. when you see these headlines and people doing these things, why do these publications print what many deem to be such offensive material. what good does it do to mock victims of hurricane harvey? >> i think because so many people on the left just have a despicable view of other human beings. how else can you describe something like this? it's one thing to pick on politicians and government officials though some of it is plain silly but to say the people who are dying and have already died in houston are a

bunch of nazis, they're hispanics, they're african americans, there's no color. these are people who happen to be in harm's way. it's beneath the dignity of civilized people to think that's sporting to make fun of victims in a hurricane. >> kimberly: these are the days and times of apology. people are saying they should issue an apology and grossly insensitive when some are still in peril of drowning. some waters are still rising in some areas. this is far from over. >> it is, far from over. there's still a lot of human suffering. there's in way that all of the television stations and networks reporting can give the full impact. they can show anecdotally some specific stories, but this is a world of great human suffering. and for these publications to

treat these victims like toys, their play things, objects of their derision and frankly i think just their insanity, it's embarrassing for the human race to think there are people who claim to be educated, claim to be sophisticated and this is what that means to them. but you know the good news? the good news is the people around america are bringing bottled water, they're bringing boats, they're reaching out and instead of laughing at the victims they're out there with their arms and legs in the water helping those people get to safety. give me those folks any day over a handful of left-wing idiots. that's the comfort we all get from watching the heroic work of good, decent people doing heroic things in the midst of grave danger. >> kimberly: indeed. let's talk about the politico

cartoonist. he said it was not aimed at texans. do you think that justified what he did? >> at least they had the good sense to pull it. yeah, they should apologize for it because it's still tasteless while people are currently, this very moment, being rescued out of flood waters to make fun of anybody in a flood water. it's just beneath the dignity of anyone except people who live in their nice little warm bubbles. they've never faced calamity. i'll tell you something else they've probably never done, they've never gone out and rescued people in calamity. maybe if they can get off their high horse and get down in the water and go and rescue some desperate people, they may have a different idea about what's funny. >> kimberly: i couldn't agree more and i think of sergeant perez going to work to save a life and lost his in the deadly

flood waters. it's still so much of a crisis tonight and a disaster the whole country needs to come together to help these people that are suffering. i want to thank you for your time tonight, governor. always a pleasure. >> thank you, kimberly. >> kimberly: and coming up, according to two senators, former facebook director james comey decided to exonerate hila hillary clinton before he interviewed key witnesses in the case. stay with us.

>> though there is evidence of potential violations of the statute of handling classified information our conclusion is no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. >> that was james comey announcing the bureau would not recommend charges for hillary

clinton. a bombshell new discovery from two u.s. senators is casting doubt whether comey was taking the investigation into clinton's misconduct seriously. in a letter it is alleged he drafted a statement clearing clinton of all charges, quote, long before fbi agents finished their work, end quote. according to the senators the statement was drafted before hillary clinton was even interviewed. and joining us now with reaction to these shocking revelations, president trump's attorney, jay sekulow and ari fleischer. we heard this during the campaign but now we see the story having legs to you. jay, do you feel there's a

violation here? >> at a minimum but there's more serious. the whole investigation, evidently was a fraud on the american people. have you james comey drafting e-mails three months before they interview the target of the investigation, an exoneration. and jame comey testified under oath making a statement where loretta lynch had meetings cast shadow on the investigation. he already made up his mind three months before.

it's a fraud on the american people. >> kimberly: it's unconscionable and interfering with the system of justice as we know it. the investigation was predetermined, the outcome. that's where people are outraged and upset and keying in on this particular story. i'm going to ari. ask there any reasonable excuse for drafting a statement like this this early on? >> i have tremendous respect for the fbi. i've always been one of those people with the deepest thoughts on the integrity of the investigation and this has shaken my belief of the administration as led by james comey. if this is true that investigation, the most important thing the fbi was doing say sham. i hope he had a similar statement of preparing criminal charges. if that's the case i think the investigators would have found

the document. they only found it for the exoneration. >> kimberly: such a great point. that would have been the best way for them to say let's play this down because we prepared two in the event the outcome depending on what it was. but if they don't have the evidence, jay, to substantiate that and comey always said i'm meticulous, i take notes, i type things up, wouldn't there be some kind of record or notation to back that up? >> of course, there's also something else here. there's testimony before the senate committee where the individuals including the senior counsel to james comey and his chief of staff where they said it was a leaning-forward document that they know where it's going and there's going to be an exoneration. kim, you litigated cases for a long time. who in the world would draft a document three months before

witness interviews are complete with the target of the investigation and cheryl mills and some individuals involved. 16, 17 witnesses not interviewed. that's what i'm saying. it goes to the the heart of a false statement made by james comey when he made the whole statement in front of national tv where he lists out the charges of guilt and said nevertheless no prosecutor would charge it. james comey took over the role of the attorney general of the united states. she didn't bother to recuse herself after the meeting but it should have been the department of justice making the decision. the fact he got away with it is inexcusable. >> and the fbi director explained too it shakes your faith in the bureau and everything the american people have to believe in the fbi when they said they looked into it and here's what they found. when he came out with it i

didn't like it but i accepted it. i accepted it because you have to accept what law enforcement tells you or society breaks down. comey has explaining to do and their feet need to be held to the fire. we need to know. >> kimberly: you're right. we deserve justice in this case. i think you're right about that. we saw shades of this being highly problematic. he stepped over the bounds in terms of his role as investigator as head of the fbi and became judge and jury and said i'll tell you no reasonable prosecutor -- that's not your job. that already undermines the credibility of the investigation. >> and no one would have leaked information to a friends of his to leak "the new york times." criminality. he needs to hire a good criminal defense attorney in my view. >> what should he do about this?

>> demand from james comey what happened and james comey should go public. >> put him under oath. >> it gets to the core can we trust the fbi. >> kimberly: you're right. they have to do that to restore faith and credibility. the hard working men and women from the fbi to put it on the line every day to serve the country deserve better. i appreciate it so much. jay and ari. coming up, hillary clinton released dates for her book tour. big surprise she's charging top dollar for vip visits and we'll get reaction from charles hurt and richard fowler. plus larry elder visits us tonight. stay with us. you know who likes to be in control? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached.

acharge. a charge. >> i won't be able to afford it but at least she found the midwest. >> kimberly: when they're poking fun of you know you're in trouble. joining us fox news contributors, charlie hurt and richard fowler and larry elder. so $3,000 canadian dollars for a vip ticket. charlie, she couldn't get people to show up to vote but they're going to pay the big bucks i guess. i don't know. >> she probably will get people to show up and hear her. you know, it's so amazing to sit back and think about what an extraordinary politician her husband was and what a terrible politician she is. the idea she's this tone deaf and the name of the book is "what happened."

the idea she'd go out and not realize how terrible the optics look for her and reveal this is what happened. this is why she lost. >> kimberly: look, she's not just emptying the pockets of americans, she wants to bleed canada dry. >> hey, she's not charging the $200,000 she charged wall street. >> kimberly: it's a deal. >> i think it's cheaper to wait for the movie. i'm a fan of presidential memoirs. you learn a lot. walter mondale said when does it stop hurting and he was told i'll let you know when that happened. she was supposed to win this thing and for her to reflect why

she lost is fascinating. i'm looking forward to reading her book. >> kimberly: richard, what do you make of this? i'm all for the free market and capitalism, you go, hilary in your scooby van and head to canada. i think she's trying to pick up votes for the next time around saying it's not over yet, folks. >> i don't think she's running again but i think larry's going to buy a book and he may pay for a $3,000 vip ticket in toronto. there you have it. larry's getting the vip ticket -- maybe. just maybe, kimberly. charlie might go see her at the warner theatre in washington. he may buy a ticket as well. she may make $4,000 on this panel. go, hilary. >> maybe the obamas will take time from shopping for property

in martha's vineyard and pay it to hilary. you don't know. >> kimberly: see how he pulled them in. equal opportunity. >> maybe donald trump may buy a ticket. he's a billionaire. >> and we know he's given $1 million to harvey aid in houston so he's got the money sitting around. >> better spent there though. so let me ask you this, charlie. do you think we'll hear yet another excuse for why the election was lost? i'm fascinated to see if they can come up for another reason. >> earlier excerpts suggest she talks about the stupid mistakes she made and follows them with more stupid mistakes. what i don't think we'll find in there is genuine soul searching as to what went wrong and how democrats have completely lost any real message that appeals to the working-class voters they

lost in this election. >> kimberly: that's the true story. >> until there's genuine soul searching i think democrats will be in trouble. >> we haven't read the book yet but one excerpt talked about how she should have handled donald trump of being around her and accused him of being a sexual predator and doesn't want to tell him to back off as a woman. i thought that was revealing. >> kimberly: the audio version was creepy, big time. >> i agree with the point larry just made. there are moments where i wanted to see this, you're going to hear me roar, katie perry/hilary rant standing up to a bully so i want to hear more about that particular part of the book. we'll see if she talks about what democrats do moving

forward. how do they get back the spunk her husband had in the '90s. does she talk about that in the book? we'll have too s -- to see. the recent fox news poll say some americans feel donald trump is ripping the country apart. maybe the message is there somewhere. >> kimberly: go ahead, charlie. >> it has nothing to do with the lack of message for democrats. the lack of a platform -- >> you just said trump's message isn't working. >> kimberly: they don't have anyone to run with. >> and they don't have a set of priorities. >> neither do the republicans. >> donald trump became their nominee because the republicans didn't have a message and donald trump ran over them because of that. every party has their storming and we're going through that now. >> the last platform the

democrats had is the one barack obama provided. we know democrats have lost over 1,000 seats based on that platform. >> kimberly: barack obama was a good candidate and good speaker and campaigned harder and showed up in the places hillary clinton didn't. let that be the lesson. >> he's the only one that could win on that platform. barack obama gave us the worse economic recovery since 1949. the first president to recover over a recovery -- >> kimberly: larry wants to get a shot in. >> the reason why the stock market is high, the reason why we're seeing jobs come back is because of eight years of steady economic growth, period, larry. >> kimberly: we're out of time. we have to leave it right there. you guys make a lot of money to guy buy some tickets and report back to us.

with violence spinning out of control we'll have lieutenant colonel allen west here with us. stay with us.

>> kimberly: welcome back to "hannity." in light of several instances of antifa protester violence, today

there's a new op-ed out asking why doesn't the media condemn left-wing violence. joining us lieutenant colonel allen west. thank you for being here tonight. this has sparked debate. we have seen the reaction to many things now over the last few weeks and the reaction has been a little bit violence on some of the violence of antifa. why won't the media condemn the left-wing violence? >> that's have a history lesson. the democrat party gave us our first domestic terrorist group that wore hoods and covered their faces and now there's a group not wearing white, but they're wearing black now but still they're wear hoods and covering up their faces. the same mantra continues on. the use of coercion, intimidation and violence to

promote their agenda. it's shameful you have the liberal progressive media that refuses to call this out and have you individuals out there trying to make it seem as to the antifa are a vigilantes trying to work again those people being neo-nazis or white supremacists. i'm waiting to see them protest against planned parenthood because it was started by a white supremacist. >> kimberly: when you think of the juxtaposition and look at their core values and message and what they stand for yet they high with covers over their head, masks, don't want their identity revealed while they're committing crimes of violence and hate. let's talk a little bit about nancy pelosi. she actually did come out to denounce the antifa movement. you're thoughts. >> nancy pelosi is the only one so far.

i haven't heard anything from barbara lee, from maxine watters or even dianne feinstein of california. antifa has been at this since the inauguration day. just now we're seeing something from nancy pelosi. she's concerned because she wants to win back the house. she ask not want to see the democrats tied to this group and she's standing out there by herself. where is bernie sanders and elizabeth warren and chuck schumer saying we denounce this organization and the continued violence. this say domestic terrorist group. it's a group subversive in its nature and actions against honest citizens. >> kimberly: they should have courage. these elected officials to speak out and not be hypocritical. lieutenant colonel always a pleasure to have you on "hannity."

>> thank you so much. >> kimberly: coming up, more "hannity" after the break. kindly stay with us.

>> kimberly: welcome back to "hannity." unfortunately that's all the time we have left this evening but you can catch me on "the five" weeknights at 5:00 p.m. eastern and before we go, i just want to say our thoughts and prayers are with the people of texas and louisiana tonight. they have indeed a long road ahead for the recovery and it will take time but they've already shown they're resilient and we've witnessed tremendous acts of courage and kindness. we want to thank you for being with us tonight for this important show. have a great night.

♪ y"y"y"y"y"y"y"y"y"y"y"y"y"y"y. we'll see you tomorrow night. tucker is up next. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." southeast texas remains a dangerous place at this hour despite the fact hurricane harvey has moved on. a chemical plant in crosby texas is racked with explosions and fires after a critical refrigeration system failed in the storm. a hospital in beaumont has been forced to evacuate his patients to protect them from flooding. also worked in the state, recovery efforts are underway. vice president mike pence stop by for a while to help out. america may have to brace for another storm, though, on the horizon as hurricane irma, gaining strength at this hour in the atlantic, possibly headed for the united states. not expected to do so, we'll be tracking it, keeping you
