8:00 pm
please evacuate. we want you safe and back here. this show will always be fair and balanced whenever the establishment media. see you back here tomorrow nigh night. >> this is a fox news weather alerts. hurricane irma not losing steam as it makes its way towards florida. category 5 storm blamed for at least 13 deaths in the caribbean. the massive storm could slam into the sunshine state had on this we can before moving up the east coast towards georgia. rick scott issuing an urging warning. listen. >> possessions can be replaced. your family cannot. this is serious, and we cannot take chances. it is life-threatening. this is not a storm you can sit and wait through. >> half a million people have been ordered to evacuate in miami-dade county. countless others have chosen to get out before the storm hits.
8:01 pm
many of them signing hurricane harvey as motivations take any and all precautions. >> i don't want to take that risk with my family. i don't want to put people i love in that position. we have an older daughter who lives in atlanta. thank god we have someone to receive us. we're not going to take a chance. we take it very seriously. >> for the latest on the storm, let's turn to fox news senior meteorologist rick reichmuth. >> we are hearing about traffic to georgia. glad to see everybody is evacuating. category 5 storm, so the latest. this just came in. wins have come down to 165 miles an hour. looks like it's probably going through and drywall replacement cycle. the possibility for it to strengthen.
8:02 pm
moving the same direction it has been, and the turks and caicos for the last six to eight hours have been pummeled. it's moving towards the bahamas. tonight throughout the day tomorrow and take a look at this. water temperature where it's going will be warmer than any place it's been so far. we've had this category 5 storm now for almost three days. and now we are talking about it moving into the warmest waters yet. right before he gets in towards the rest. take a look at some of these wave heights. storm surge maybe 15 to 20 feet and then waves on top of it. waves recording at 45 and 46 feet on top of the storm surge. all of that energy moving towards the florida area. in the short-term, moving towards the bahamas. take a look at this future rada radar. a little bit hard to get a sense of it but you see that by the time will get towards saturday, it's a solid hurricane. we've been watching the models
8:03 pm
for days and days. and we've been saying it's going to make this right-hand turn. we are getting better agreement. would like to see these models get closer and closer together. it's implicating florida more, a little bit less georgia and south carolina. take a look at this model. it's a really reliable model. sometime sunday, right here, splits through florida. we have a hurricane come out wins extend out 70, 80 miles each side. her hurricane force winds across florida. >> a lot of people heeding governor rick scott's advice to get out of town as fast as they can, especially after hurricane harvey and all that damage in texas. we don't want to see that again. thank you. for now, i am jackie ibanez. back to tucker carlson.
8:04 pm
>> tucker: connect map authorize the national guard and the a virgin islands to seize people's guns and ammunition. the nra threatened legal action. last time we talked to the governor he said it was a misunderstanding. >> it'san a complete incorrect assessment. i did not order or authorize the adjutant general of the national guard to seize any weapons from any citizens and i do not have any powerr by virgin islands or by the constitution of the united states to seize weapons from citizens via the military. this order is a standing orderap that most adjutant generals receive. >> tucker: and yet the order said clearly that the national guard has the authority to seize weapons and ammunition. what is going on here? to get to the bottom of it, we are joined by radio host and nra spokeswoman dana loesch. i was confused by that.
8:05 pm
our questions were completely sincere. are you planning to do this? the order seemed to me, as a nonattorney, to give power to the national guard to do this. what exactly is the truth, do you know? >> well, tucker, thank you for having me. i watched you question the governor of the u.s. virgin islands, and just as you, were, i was also confused, and so were many millions of members of the nra, because there was a lot of discussion.of what on earth did he mean that n he only was allowing the national guard to procure firearms and ammunition for use in these emergency purposes because, tucker, and you quoted the statement that this governor himself released.se he was allowing -- he used the word "seized" firearms. he didn't say "procure" firearms, he said "seized" firearms. incendiary weaponry, explosive devices. he used the word "seized." he said there was a
8:06 pm
misunderstanding. i am happy to believe that there is one, yet there is a troublins problem of what he wrote in the statement, tucker. >> tucker: sure, and you wouldn't need the authority to seize weapons from your own armory, of course, which is what he was trying to say. the fact remains we've seen this in other natural disasters. we saw this during katrina with the mayor, now in prison. guess what bothers me most is it really is confirmation that a lot of the pro-second amendment people have a right to be a little bit paranoid about gun registration. if governments are going to use natural disasters as a pretext for violating your second amendment rights, maybe you're not paranoid. maybe your concerns are legitimate. >> you're spot-on, tucker. p m during katrina, i will never forget the superintendent said, you are not going to be able to walk around new orleans armed, not going to be able to be armed with this disaster. there was actual firearm confiscation that took place, and it took the nra gettingsa
8:07 pm
involved legally in order to put a stop to this and to put pressure on these officials who were disarming law-abiding citizens who simply wanted to be able to protect themselves at a time, tucker, when you hadpr first responders and lawia enforcement who were completely overwhelmed with search and rescue missions of their own. and that is exactly what l law-abiding second amendment practitioners are standing up for right now. now, during times such as these -- and this is law. back in 2006, there is the appropriations act, an amendment by a republican from louisiana, it bars the federal government, under the guise of helping during any sort of natural disaster, using any kind of, federal money, et cetera, et cetera, to disarm law-abiding americans using the context of national emergencies. furthermore, this is a time when people most need to be able to protect themselves from looters, from other violence. they need to be able to protectl themselves when you have law enforcement, as i said, and first responders who are most overwhelmed. >> tucker: in the case of katrina, it was the new orleans police department who were murdering people, actually.
8:08 pm
i covered that story personally. and looting walmart, not protecting law-abiding citizens who were preyed upon by mobs of people. i saw it first-hand. so i wonder if there is a way tn make sure this doesn't happen. i think a lot of people are concerned on some level, but if there is civil disorder they won't be able to protect themselves. i don't think that is a paranoid concern or a crazy concern. >> no, it is not a paranoid d concern at all, because there are historical precedents for it. we've already gone to court over this.er it has happened before in the united states.s. it has happened recently in the united states. you can't be paranoid over something that has actually already happened. >> tucker: a good point. >> the current fear isve legitimate. >> tucker: yeah, you're absolutely right.. dana loesch, thank you for this, and i hope if you all get to y e bottom of what that order was about and if there was gun confiscation, you'll come back and tell us about it. >> i know the nra is watchingyo it, and if they go through with it, the statement is that the nra is watching it and will take
8:09 pm
action. thank you, tucker. >> tucker: good, i appreciate that. meanwhile, in california, sacramento county sheriff's deputy robert french murdered last week during a battle withth thomas littlecloud, a convicted felon. some in law enforcement in the state say governor jerry brown is in part to blame. the l.a. deputy sheriffs association, another police union, says that a 2011 lawo designed to relieve prison overcrowding allowed littlecloud to keep receiving bail despite multiple violent criminal offenses. jessica sloan is the mayor of r mill valley, a pretty place, she also cofounded the cut 50 campaign to drastically lower incarceration, and she joins us tonight. it is good to see you tonight. i just want to say that i think this actually is a complicated issue, and i don't think everyone who, you know, does something wrong belongs in jail, and i think jail overcrowding ia a real thing, and i recognize all of that. but it's got to give you pause. >> thank you for having me on, tucker. >> tucker: thank you for coming.
8:10 pm
again, i think it is a complex issue, but if enforcement is saying that laws designed to lessen prison overcrowding are resulting in the murder of law enforcement officials, that has got to give you reason to stop and assess whether this is achieving what you wanted it to achieve? >> listen, i think -- first, i'n glad to hear that you and i have some common ground, and i think it's very important to state that, you know, my heart goes out to the officer's family. i can't imagine what they're going through and the entire police force mourning the death of one of their fellow public safety officers. this is truly a tragedy.y. i think this is also a realh clear sign to us that we need ta focus on making sure that our counties, as well as our prisons, have all of the resources they need to actually rehabilitate people before they let them back out onto the street.
8:11 pm
>> tucker: how lame is your state that that's not a state function? the whole idea here, in case our viewers have not been following this, the counties are nowth taking up the slack where the state is no longer involved.ha the idea is, the state prisons are overcrowded, the counties need to do their part. maintaining prisons is really, i think fair to say, a state function. is the state so dysfunctional it can't maintain prisons without having them be so overcrowded that judges get involved? >> maintaining prisons is absolutely a state function, and i'm sure you know the governor,n jerry brown, did fight all the way up to the supreme court saying that he didn't want to let anybody out. but the supreme court did rule that our prisons were unconstitutionally overcrowded and that they were actually endangering, not just the men and women who were housed there, but the correctional guards whog were working there as well. so a.b. 109 was enacted. it was designed to move people from the state prisons into the
8:12 pm
counties. what is very clear from this case and others is that the counties do not have thear resources that they need to actually rehabilitate people. there is wonderful programs going on -- we can get them funding to replicate some of the cognitive behavioral programming that's going on in the prisons that actually makes people think about the criminal behavior they've done and start thinking and more of a pro-societal form. >> tucker: i'm for that, i'm for rehabilitation, it does work in some cases, but the primary role of the state is to protect the law-abiding from the lawbreaking. the first job of the prisons is not to make prisoners better. it's to protect the rest of us from the prisoners.ak it's not doing that. but i actually have a solution to california prison overcrowding and i'm sure you would agree with it. a huge percentage of california inmates are foreign nationals. they are from mexico and central america. why not deport them? >> well, i wouldn't be so sure that i agree with that, tucker.
8:13 pm
what i will say is that our prisons are ---- >> tucker: you can't afford -- hold on. if you can't afford to keep people in prison, and you can'te and so they are getting out early and murdering cops, why should taxpayers in california pick up the slack to house people who shouldn't be here in the first place? i don't understand that. why is that the obligation of california to house foreign nationals? >> i think the problem is a lot more complicated than that. if you're looking at the resources, we can follow models that are working, that can save -- t states like texas, louisi, where they are actually reallocating their resources instead of just housingin peopl. they are using their resources to rehabilitate them for services, for crime prevention, strengthening. >> tucker: that's all great. i am for free ice cream and ponies for everybody. but if u you can't afford to kep people locked up,
8:14 pm
dangerous people -- california, for example, won't tell us, the, public, what percentage of its inmates are foreign nationals. why is that? i'll tell you why. a they're a massive political block, they've got politicians in their pocket, being protected. but why shouldn't i, as a native california, have the right to know what percentage of the prison population is not an american citizen? >> there are lots of people who are in prison. some of them are undocumented, some of them are not. some of them are u.s. citizens. i think we need to be using this moment not to focus on the percentage of foreign nationals who are incarcerated in california but to focus on hows we can actually bring people home in a manner that makes our streets safer. >> tucker: okay, i get it, but why shouldn't i -- i am too, but why shouldn't i know that? it's a really simple question. what percentage of the prison population is illegal? why are we paying for them? get out of our country.ly you are illegal already. why shouldn't i be able to know the answer to that question? why are you hiding the numbers
8:15 pm
for me? that's a fair question, isn't it? >> so i don't work for the california department of corrections and rehabilitation, but what i can speak to is the fact that our criminal justice system is failing to actually rehabilitate people, and we know that there are smart solutions out there that are being employed across the country and across the state of california.a we have a model prison here, san quentinnd prison, where thee is a rehabilitative program and going on, and i'll tell you something very interesting. you were talking about nonviolent versus violent offenders. i recently learned that, of the 700 people who have committed violent offenses as youth who have been released in the lastav three years, not a single one of them has gone back for a violent act. in fact, only one of them has gone back at all, and that was for a drug violation. so 700 people who have received rehabilitative programming and cognitive behavioral programming have actually come home and not ended up committing more crimes or creating more victims, but becoming members of their community.
8:16 pm
>> tucker: i don't believe that. i wrote a book on this one. those numbers are so -- that would be the most effectivey. rehabilitation program in the history of the world. if that's really true, then itu should be replicated everywhere. >> happy to show you the numbers for the folks who came home >> the numbers under sb 260 and 261, i'm happy to share with you the data that both conservatives and progressives have -- >> tucker: if that's true, you just solved the age-old question of human sin. i hope you did. [laughs] mayor sloan, thanks for joining us, i appreciate it. the fbi says it won't release its files on hillary clinton because it doesn't serve the public interest. up next, we'll speak with an attorney who says the bureau is acting like president obama still is running the place. plus, republicans suggesting they are open to a deal on immigration. amnesty inim return for a wall. wewe will talk to a democrat who
8:17 pm
says that deal is not acceptable. it's racist. then we'll go to florida for an update on hurricane irma, which is headed our way. stay tuned. h excuse me, are you aware of what's happening right now? we're facing 20 billion security events every day. ddos campaigns, ransomware, malware attacks... actually, we just handled all the priority threats. you did that? we did that. really. we analyzed millions of articles and reports. we can identify threats 50% faster. you can do that? we can do that. then do that. can we do that? we can do that. can we do that? itwhat's possible.nk rethink the experience. rethink your allergy pills. flonase sensimist allergy relief uses unique mistpro technology and helps block 6 key inflammatory substances with a gentle mist. most allergy pills

8:19 pm
8:20 pm
>> tucker: hillary clinton came pretty close to getting elected president last year, and if her repeated intrusions back into the public eye are an indication of future intent, she may try again in three years. joe biden is running again, it looks like. that may make the fbi's files about hillary clinton pretty compelling material, but according toay the bureau, thats not the case. the fbi recently rejected a foia, freedom of informationur request, saying her privacy rights outweighed any public
8:21 pm
interest in the release. ty clevenger is a lawyer. he filed that foia claim. he says the fbi is acting like president obama is in charge. he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on.. give us the background on this. was this -- this was for a book you're writing, correct? >> exactly, i was writing about corruption and the legal profession and the courts, andoo most state bars will cover up for politically prominentup lawyers. i thought this would be the perfect case study to file a grievance against mrs. clinton and her attorneys for destroying an email, but part of the foia is to get evidence and support the grievances, then i got this letter from the fbi telling me it was not a matter of public interest. t >> tucker: meaning it's not inm the public's interest, not meaning the public doesn't care, but that is not good for the country. >> no, saying the public doesn't care. >> tucker: huh.od >> three reasons to release it.
8:22 pm
-- not to release it. they can say that the subject, mrs. clinton, is dead, which she is not, or she has consented to release, which she hasn't, or this is a matter of public interest, and the fbi, despite the fact that i sent the news articles, it said it was not a a matter of public interest. having said that, i think they are changing course.ic i got an email from the justices department. i appealed the denial to doj, and now doj has already granted my request to expedite.nt and the reason that is significant is because my grounds for requesting the expedited response was, this was a matter of public interest. so doj has already conceded, this is a matter of public interest.h >> tucker: well, yeah! you're talking about it on television right now. it just seems very odd that they could ever make that claim. i mean, of course, by definition it's of interest. she just ran for president. she is a public figure. and my understanding of the foia law was that the government hass to have a compelling reason toid
8:23 pm
deny the request.t. >> there is a little bit of an exception. if i were to request the personal fbi file on a private citizen, then these three exceptions that i just cited would apply, but obviously, this is not just some random citizen. and i'm not asking for the entire fbi file, i'm asking for things that congress asks for or for things that congress sent to the fbi. >> tucker: what do you think the motive was here? >> i have changed my view. originally i suspected there was some obama holdover at the fbi that was trying to cover this up.ma as you know, last week, senator graham and senator grassley released a letter indicating that the former fbi director, james comey, had already decided to exonerate mrs. clinton before she had been interviewed. >> tucker: right. >> at this point, i think the fbi is trying to cover its own h rear end. i think they know this thing is going to look terrible for them.
8:24 pm
they deep-sixed this. they whitewashed it. and they don't want the documents coming out showing how badly they covered it up.he >> tucker: since you're writing about this, and you are an attorney, watched you think -- what do you think the chancs are if you are i were accused of felonious behavior that the fbi director would say let's stop this investigation before interviewing us. >> it would never happen. if an average lawyer destroyed 30,000 pieces of evidence, he would be disbarred andti prosecuted criminally. anybody else would have been prosecuted criminally, and as an attorney, disbarred, under these exact same circumstances. >> tucker: you've got to think martha stewart is watching this, who did time in federal prison for lying to an fbi agent, and thinking, man, i could have hired hillary clinton's lawyers. ty, thanks for coming on tonight. well, now some republicans in congress are now suggesting they'd be willing to swap daca legalization in return for a border wall.
8:25 pm
up next, we'll talk to a democratic congressman who says that deal would be racist. stay tuned.th a farmer's market. a fire truck. even a marching band. and if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. for any sort of discomfort in yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it. to make something original... ...has grown into an enterprise. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. now, i'm earning unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase i make. everything. which adds up to thousands of dollars back every year...

8:28 pm
you push yourself every day... tempur-pedic helps you recover every night. tempur material provides up to twice as much pressure relieving power... so you won't toss and turn. through september 17th, save up to $500 on select adjustable sets. tempur-pedic sleep is power. >> tucker: seven years ago, just seven years ago, the dream act, would have granted amnesty, it failed in the congress because too many democrats opposed it. seems like a long time ago. now many republicans are lining up to say they want to finish the job.
8:29 pm
some are willing to reinstate daca unconditionally. others are suggesting a possible deal along these lines, amnesty for daca in return for a border wall on the mexican border. congressman eric swalwell isn't interested in that deal. he said it would "just give you a pass to be a slight racist on monday so you can be fully d racist on tuesday." he joins us tonight. so daca, if you're opposed to it, that makes you a racist? >> good evening, tucker. i want to update your viewers. i am working with republicans on the stranded americans in the caribbean right now. it's not just the people who are going to be leaving florida, we have thousands in the caribbean and other countries. just to update that. we're working with the state department. t >> tucker: good for you. >> tucker, i want to say that i believe that donald trump's wall and the premise for his wall, yes, iss racist. having border security is a responsibility we have, but these dreamers are part of our country, and whether you follow
8:30 pm
the bible and believe we don't punish the children for what their parents did or you just think it's our country's obligation to make sure that law-abiding kids who came there by no fault of their own have a pathway to be a part of our community, we should make this happen as soon as possible. >> tucker: so there are two obvious -- i mean, do you haveve any kind of problem with the law itself, with the idea that the president, if he doesn't like a law, can invalidate it? could trump do that with taxes and say, i'm not prosecuting anyone who is not paying certain taxes? that's my tax reform? does that bother you at all? >> i agree with the president that the congress should put this into law, and we tried, and there was actually a majority of the senate and 59 senators and every democrat in almost a -- actually, a majority of the house. hundreds of republicans voted against it. president obama sought to save these children. but we should actually pass it in congress. what the president could do though, because he's creating ambiguity, is just say, put the dream act on my desk and i'll
8:31 pm
sign it. but he's not saying that. >> tucker: congress should figure it out, you're adults -- and you never will -- but here's my question though. everyone recognizes, this is a tough spot for some of these kids, now adults, you know. they were brought here when they were really little. it's a complicated deal. the concern is that if you allow them to become citizens, it is an inducement to the rest of the world to come here with kids in tow because then it can't be deported. i guess, what's the limit? how many people should relate in --ss should we let in with minr children? what's the number?>> >> the dream act doesn't allow them to become citizens. it allows them to work here. i have got constituents --ec >> tucker: it's the same thing. they're never going to be deported, and i'm sure democrats will be pushing for them to have voting rights soon. >> they should be able to apply for citizenship, sure. >> tucker: so the same thing. but how many get to do that? there are a billion people who
8:32 pm
want to move here tomorrow. like, are they all allowed to move here now? what's the number? >> tucker, you're presentingng a theoretical challenge. there's 800,000 people who actually are here and they have faces and they are contributing to our military and to ourur police forces, and they are doing a lot of good. let's look at that issue and then have comprehensive immigration reform to take on the valid question you're asking. >> tucker: let's talk about it now, because you're setting up a precedent. what you're saying to the world is, as long as you get here illegally with a kid under 16, you can't be deported. and so that is a massive inducement for people to come here illegally, as you welll know. you're from california,e the state that has been totally changed by illegal immigration, as you know, since you grew up there, as i did too. >> largely for the better. >> tucker: really? the poverty rate has risen dramatically since i left there. 11% in 1983, now over 16%. it hasn't made that state richer. it's made it much poorer.
8:33 pm
like, why would be concerned about that and the rest of the country? >> we would love to have you back, tucker, but we have to take on immigration reform. 68 senators, republicans and democrats, had a pathway to citizenship that did not have the undocumented cut the line of people who were already waiting. they would have a more, i believe, functioning system that had order in it and allowed people to be a part of this great american country. >> tucker: what are the rules? i show up here illegally. under what circumstances can i be deported? let's say i show up, i don't commit a felony. aam can i be deported under any circumstances?. >> i think you should come forward, go through the process, if you're not committing crimest and contribute into our economy, we want you to be a part of this country in an orderly way. >> tucker: what you're saying is, nobody can be deported unless you commit a felony. you're saying borders are meaningless. i can sneak in, and as long as i
8:34 pm
don't commit a felony, and can't be deported. why is that different from open borders? it's not. >> because we have a broken immigration system right now, tucker. people are coming in that way. i think if you fix the immigration system have certainty that you won't see what you're describing. >> tucker: that's my question, what is the rule you would like to see become a model? after this comprehensive immigration reform, no one whoho comes in illegally can stay? everybody is deported who comes in illegally after this law passes? is that what you're saying? i doubt that's what you're saying. >> what i'm saying is, the senate passed a bill that increased border patrol agents so that you would limit the number of people. i welcome enhanced border security, i just don't think a wall is the best way to do it. >> tucker: but once they get here, once you're in the country, under your scenario, can you be deported? because if can't be deported, then you have open borders, right? >> we should have a system that has order and removes people who don't follow that system. right now, we have disorder.
8:35 pm
it doesn't help families. it doesn't help our security. >> tucker: i totally agree. you're saying anyone who comes here illegally should be deported after this law is passed. is that what you're saying? >> we should create an orderly immigration system. t right now, tucker, these kids who have said the same pledge of allegiance as kids born in the united states -- >> tucker: my concern is for americans first. >> mine too. mine too.ed >> tucker: thank you for coming. google's shadowy censors decide who is allowed to make money on youtube, and politics apparently plays a big role on those decisions. up next, we'll talk to dave rubin, who is fighting to keep google from blocking ada revenue on his popular talk show. plus, we'll talk with the -- will give you the latest on hurricane irma. stay tuned. eat or how healthy you look. no matter who you are, a heart attack can happen without warning. a bayer aspirin regimen can help prevent another heart attack.

8:40 pm
letting politics dictate who is allowed to make money from the platform. dave rubin hosts a very popular show called "the rubin report," it's online, youtube posts it. recently, a whole bunch of rubin videos were demonetized. that's the word that youtube uses when they tell you you can't make money from them anymore. why did that happen? dave rubin joins us tonight. dave, it's good to see it. explain what happened. it has happened to other people. it sounds ominous.d what does it mean and why did they decide to do it? >> well, i think most important, the reason i agreed to do this with you, tucker, i am on thato platform, the youtube platform, and i want that platform to work. i want it to be all of the things for all of the creators who put their content out there across the board politically or whether you are doing community videos or sports videos or politic videos or anything else. i want it to be treated fairlyly for everybody and be transparent
8:41 pm
