tv Tucker Carlson Tonight FOX News September 11, 2017 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT
5:00 pm
he has raised more than a million dollars so far, they are going to need that and a lot more. we wish them that and help it. we will see you tomorrow night for more of the "the story." tucker carlson is up next. >> tucker: good evening, and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. irma has been downgraded to a tropical storm, but the threat remains. florida's governor warns that the biggest threat is now rivers overflowing throughout the state. of course, it will be a long road to recovery from devastation and the keys and the gulf coast of florida. in naples on the west side, they took a direct hit. steve, what does it look like? >> tucker, there is a down dowe trees all over the place in the naples area, downed power lines, when you combine that with
5:01 pm
stoplights and stop signs that are not there, it makes for treacherous driving. there is also significant flooding in parts around naples, 3-4 feet in some neighborhoods, but still very difficult driving around, the dreaded storm surge that was promised here is a possibility that could claim lives up to ten to 15 feet simply never happened, the back end of that storm was just too weak it, so no lives lost in the naples area. the real issue is electricity, it is dark and quiet, 2,000 people, almost the entire county, no air conditioning, no tv, no cell phone service, a loss of the schools are damaged as well, so it could be weeks before life gets back to normal in naples. >> tucker: steve in a darkened city. he is in key largo. that is one of the places hit hardest by the storm.
5:02 pm
>> yeah, they are still cut off from the mainland, people who come across the bridge into key largo and head south, our emergency personnel, you can see this on the ocean side of the key is, on the bayside come on the west side, you will find more tree damage and signs down, awnings ripped down, more wind damage. no water damage on that side. you don't see the destruction like you do on the side, we are only talking about a half of a mild difference sometimes, you can tell that this place here at one point had six or seven houseboats, and you can only make out basically one and a half. there is one smaller one to the left here, basically they folded in half in some cases, here's what we know tonight, the monroe county sheriff's department out and about, they did a survey of most of the roads in the area, we know that the ambulance service is still down here, the hospitals, or the whole hospital i should say is not open yet, the roads are not
5:03 pm
open, that is the main problem. they still have to clear the freeway heading south all the way to key west. it has to be cleared, and the side streets have to be cleared, there is no power here for most of the keys, very little water, depending on where you are, very little cell service as well, and hardly any stores, gas stations, there is nothing open, it is more work if you do. so it is a difficult situation right now, you are seeing the relief efforts come in, tucker, i already saw a great line of trucks coming in from california, so that was good to see. customs and border protection, and they are getting that's two people in marathon. so we are starting to see that response. >> tucker: are you starting to see the signs of how many residents are there right now? >> that was the interesting thing, we have been here since wednesday, and we met a lot of people who didn't stay. they didn't leave because of andrew, because of houston, they left because of what they saw coming out of the caribbean. so maybe 15% state, most people
5:04 pm
got out, tucker. >> tucker: yeah, probably wise. adam, thanks a lot for that. >> yeah. >> tucker: grew up in florida keys, she decided to write out the storm this weekend, she joins us tonight. can you hear me? >> yes, how are you? >> tucker: it really well, so you just heard adam housley estimates that 85% of your neighbors left, you bravely decided to stay, why did you do that? >> well, basically, my husband is a commercial fisherman. and we know that once you leave, you don't get back end, and we live in a concrete building with a concrete roof, and we just felt relatively safe, and we have to save our livelihood the best that we can. >> tucker: good for you. did you save the boat? >> actually, believe it or not, we did. we were near the end of the storm, it had passed by us, and it was probably like
5:05 pm
40-mile-an-hour winds, and we look to down the canal, and another fisherman across the street we looked, and it too houseboats were floating towards our boat, and we had to run out there in the storm and tie them up. >> tucker: i have heard other news anchors espresso scorned it towards people like you, and i just want to tell you that i think it was brave and american, and good for you. how are people behaving down there? people who stayed. >> i mean, we are just helping each other, i mean honestly, that is how we are -- how facebook leiva started was people saw what was going on. you know, we are all just pitching in and helping everyone. there are a couple of stores that have opened that always open right after the storm. one is a pizza parlor, and we went there and got pizza today. it is bad, but you know, we all stick together. that is what we do down here. >> tucker: how bad is it? you have been there your whole
5:06 pm
life. is it going to -- estimating -- is it going to take years to fix this, would he say? >> you know what? how do i describe this? i don't want to downplay it, but to where we live, and remember, we are the outlier, there is not really -- unless you lived in a trailer -- a structural damage. a tree and a lot of flooding when you are right near the water. most of the ocean side of from bayside, but it is more flooding repair than actual structural damage. >> tucker: interesting. >> so in other places it is a different ball game. >> tucker: it is tough. it you stayed behind, she and her husband wanted to save their boat, and they did. congratulations, amy. i hope you are well. >> thank you for speaking with us. >> tucker: 's as you heard,
5:07 pm
most people responded by worrying about the safety of their homes and their families and in helping others, but some, few, thankfully, side as a prime opportunity for sealing. a newsgroup captured a group of making off with boxes of expensive shoes, none of them look for, by the way. he is the police chief of fort lauderdale, he has arrested at least five looters so far. chief, thanks for coming on. i don't know if you can see the pictures that we are looking at, but they are people looting a shoe store. it dude you officers arrest these people? >> i can't see them, and yes we did. at first i want to say that's the city of fort lauderdale knows that we dodged a big bullet here, and our friends are on the stage, and our goal here is to get back on our feet as quickly as we can, so i can start sending some resources around the state to help our friends get back on their feet. i am proud to say that we did arrest those individuals, there were nine of them cops, and they
5:08 pm
hit during one of the worst parts of the storm. we actually had to deploy our specialty vehicles there, consisting of a s.w.a.t. vehicle and a hummer, so we traveled it to that call and arrested those individuals, and we just arrested our 20th individual for looting, we are proud to say. >> you have heard a lot of people in the media in the past couple of weeks say that's really, looting isn't looting, it is people in need taking what they need. because they don't have it. is it your sense that these people needed the shoes? >> well, if anyone calls us for help, we are coming, and we will assist any way we can, but if you're going to take advantage of a situation like this, a weather events on this particular occasion, take advantage of our neighbors and business owners, we have no tolerance for that. these folks are not walking out
5:09 pm
with diapers and baby formula, they are stealing tennis shoes. >> tucker: yeah, and they all seem to be wearing shoes. what are they facing at this point? >> well, burglary, if you carry this, it can carry different weights. this in this declared emergency comes with more significant penalties. but it also depends on the folks. >> tucker: there is an extra penalty for taking advantage of a catastrophe to steal? >> absolutely there is. >> tucker: good, there ought to be. thank you for enforcing the law. lots of places aren't, as you know. it chief, thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: well, for more on these looting's and how police can stop it, we are joined by dan, thanks for coming on. i am fascinated not by the looting. i saw it firsthand, after katrina. it always happens. but i am fascinated by the excuses for its that you are hearing from the left and many in the news media who won't
5:10 pm
cover this and to basically attack anyone who notes that it is wrong to steal during a time of crisis. why do you think the left makes excuses for this so aggressively? >> tucker, there is a couple reasons, and yes, i have been a victim of this since my last appearance on the show, apparently, unbeknownst to me and anyone who knows me, discussing looting and makes you a racist, not unusual at all from the left, pretty much everything makes you a racist, which has rendered the term basically meaningless and placed polite discourse. these are hackett, phony, frauds with no lives, and their entire livelihood is based off of click mage. so if you put fox news, conservative commentators they are with the word racist, someone will click on your article. it so the vapid people on the left, this is what they will do. the second reason is a little bit more for the intellectual lefties, they have this idea,
5:11 pm
thomas olson has done great work on this, it is really not the criminals faults. tucker, it is society's fault, and if we just organize ourselves a little better, a little bit more socialist and communist, better planets, we would not have this problem. so it is not the looter's fault, it is the business owners fault for not giving away the sneakers. >> tucker: they are constantly rooting for the people who seek to destroy society. i don't want to reach that conclusion, but -- by the way, i think all of us are sympathetic to the imam without diapers who goes and helps herself to some in a moment of crisis, i get it. but these are people driving new cars with gold chains, there is literally no excuse for that, and yes, we are not supposed to say anything because it is bad to note is. if you take that position, you are rooting against our society. >> yeah, and not only that, the convenient outs that they used by painting everybody with the
5:12 pm
most disgusting -- by the way -- outside of child molester and murderer, is there anything worse to call someone then a racist? it is their effort to distract away, the liberals don't run on anything, all they have is making you believe that conservative haze, whatever identity group it is, so by painting everyone as a blanket racist, this is why they think it will work. they don't have anything else. but what is really racist -- by the way, my last assignment with you, no one at any point to ever mention race because it was irrelevant. we were talking about looters, so if someone comes in and says, hey, i think that black people shouldn't loot, then that is kind of races. it is the liberals who are the real racist. the most destructive group in america life is antifa. it has nothing to do with race, it has to do with defending a civilization against people who
5:13 pm
want to tear the society down. they run every major cultural institution in this country, why did they root for the destruction of the country that has made them rich? i don't understand. >> you know, david horowitz sums it up nicely, he says that's the intellectual left, if there is such a thing, that's they are the anticommunist. they don't really stand for anything, they just stand against the anti-communist. that is what coalesces them all together through their intersection all day, whatever their new buzzword of the day i is. >> tucker: it dan, thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. we will have more updates about the damage that hurricane irma has left behind. hillary clinton is back on tv, meanwhile, and more bitter than ever. we will discuss the latest claim of the inaugural address somehow
5:14 pm
being an example of why to nationalism, did you hear about this? plus, while the storm was flying into florida, we will show you footage of antifa's clash with the police during a rally in portland over the weekend. it's god's violence. cops are injured. i mean wish i had time to take care of my portfolio, but.. well, what are you doing tomorrow -10am? staff meeting. noon? eating. 3:45? uh, compliance training. 6:30? sam's baseball practice. 8:30? tai chi. yeah, so sounds relaxing. alright, 9:53? i usually make their lunches then, and i have a little vegan so wow, you are busy. wouldn't it be great if you had investments that worked as hard as you do? yeah. introducing essential portfolios. the automated investing solution that lets you focus on your life.
5:15 pm
5:17 pm
5:18 pm
well, hillary clinton has found the secret to success finally, late in life, knowing who to blame for her failures. there are a lot of them. onto her with her book "what happened" she accused donald trump of among many others of playing the race card. >> well, there i was, on the platform. you know, feeling like an out-of-body experience, and then his speech, which was a cry from the white nationalist god. >> this american carnage stops. >> was an opportunity to say okay, i am proud of my supporters, but i am the president of all americans, that is not what we heard at all. >> tucker: democratic strategist, he joins us tonight. as soon as i watch this, i remember thinking at the time, which occurred to her to come to the inauguration? she didn't have to. to say this, though, it
5:19 pm
diminishes her, it divides the country, and it is factually insane. where was the whites of promised part? >> i mean, donald trump did hearken back to the nixon strategy, pretty much since he -- >> tucker: hold on, what does that mean? >> she said that the speech was a waste nationalist speech. see when i listened to the speech, he talked about how we need to rebuild our inner cities, which are not primarily white as you know. that -- >> which he was hearkening to you is that's they are forgotten places, they are nothing but criminals, that is where when he made to the comments coming down the escalator, talking about how mexicans are rapists. >> tucker: these are two different groups, i watch the speech, whatever you think of what he has done, these are places that have been ignored, they are run entirely by
5:20 pm
democrats, as you know -- here is trump saying, let's fix these places, and that is why nationalism? >> let's not pretend that it donald trump really wants to fix the problems that al chicago. he is hearkening back to -- >> tucker: we need to send more money to detroit? that doesn't make any sense. >> think about it. he often uses chicago as his fall back to why urban areas have been forgotten, why black people should vote for him. he said in his own words, vote for me. what else do you have? >> tucker: can we apply some logic really quickly, i know it never happens, if you are a white nationalist who wanted to hurt white people, you would be pretty psyched about what is going on chicago. as an african-american, why would you be worried about that if you were a racist? >> this is a narrative that
5:21 pm
certain media companies have used, black people are killing black people because we all live in the same neighborhood -- >> tucker: know, but i am not even making that point, i am just saying that if you were a racist, you would not be concerned about what is happening in the south side of chicago. you want to be concerned about detroit, i guess you would be applauding it. he is doing the opposite. there is no evidence, i think that she should stop talking this way because there is no evidence that it is true, and it scares the out of people. let's think about what hillary clinton said during her campaign. she said that donald trump was uniquely unqualified. >> he is. she said that his temperament was bad. >> tucker: a look at, that's all fair. what i objected to is the racist stuff because it leaves permanent scars, it divides us more. here's what she said in that ludicrous interview. she said trump was successful in referencing nostalgia, it would give hope, and comfort to people who were upset about the gains
5:22 pm
made by others. let's look specifically at this -- what you are saying is which millions of white people probably said. imagine if mitt romney had said this, i lost because of millions of resentful black people. >> he did. after he lost, he said the reason why i lost is because obama was willing to give the takers, and i wasn't. >> tucker: if he had said that millions of resentful people did not vote for me, i would say that that is discussing. that is an awful thing to say. i can't believe she said that. blaming people by their race? what is this. >> hillary clinton was not blaming people by their races specifically. making america great again, where did that come from? from mixing, literally, the campaign slogan of donald trump was the campaign slogan that richard nixon used it to divide people. it >> tucker: this is a pretty obvious one. >> the country is in decline,
5:23 pm
any people awake, it is also not a racist to note that rich people, liberals, by the way -- >> tucker: of the richer you are, the more liberal you are. there are some, but i am just saying overall -- they have a disproportionate amount of power. never has this power been concentrated like it is now. so it trump ran against all this. it didn't deal with race at all. and all of a sudden, it is white nationalist? >> i agree with you, democrats need a more economic message. >> tucker: you think? by the way, i don't think that you should be allowed it to dismiss people on the basis of their race. >> nor do i. a >> tucker: stop right there, if i was doing the interview, i would say wait, wait, what did you just say? >> she did not dismiss people by their race. >> tucker: yes she did.
5:24 pm
this is a transcript of the interview. >> you are giving a portion, half of an interview. >> tucker: i read the entire paragraph. >> she is saying that resentment, they didn't like -- people who don't look like them to succeed, you don't think that's it donald trump exploited white people's fears after obam obama? >> tucker: i guess what i am saying, making a generalization, i think obama really hurts america in a lot of ways that we aren't allowed to say because people would say that you are a racist. he divided america, and this was in part a reaction against such. >> i agree that there is a conversation that america needs to move forward. but donald trump has done something which is very dangerous, he has played on the fears and insecurities of white america to push an agenda which he doesn't even support here donald trump is not a democrat or republican. >> tucker: why did he get more hispanic votes and black votes than mitt romney did?
5:25 pm
>> after sandy, he had his own issues to deal with. >> tucker: it is kind of weird. >> he lost by a smaller margin than mitt romney did, so let's not pretend like he was this amazing presidential candidates. >> tucker: i am just saying as the demographic breakdown, it is kind of interesting that this white nationalist got more points than mitt romney. good to see you, man. we will take a break, ben shapiro is speaking at uc berkeley, and the entire school is in panic about hurricane ben, he is a national disaster. this is all up and down the state of florida. stay tuned. we took safe, and made it daring. we took intelligent, and made it utterly irresistible. we took the most advanced e-class ever,

5:29 pm
expestandard.e lexus rx with advance safety... lease the 2017 rx 350 for $399 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. >> tucker: this is a fox news alert, the south east of this country still getting pummeled, with deaths reported in georgia and south carolina. the hurricane damage is widespread, from destruction to record flooding, that is where we find our own peter doocy. peter. >> hey, talker, so the water here in jacksonville near the jacksonville landing, which is a cool dining and shopping spots, it has mostly gone down, this is about all that there is, we were thinking that it was going to go away for good, but see merritt was just down here, and he told us that we need to move our vehicles back because he says
5:30 pm
that the water is going to rise again, it could be here for about a week, they have already fielded hundreds of calls for rescues, for people who did not know how fast it would rise, people who did not realize that it might be different than coastal flooding, and he says that those people to need to realize that over the next couple of days, there is a lot of danger here. >> if you see flooding in your neighborhood, and you can't get out, and you think you're going to wait this out and it will recede when the tides go down, there is a good chance that it won't tomorrow or the next day, and some places, it could take up to a week. we need to know who you are, where you are, and our people will come get you. >> and the way that jacksonville authorities are finding out who needs to be rescued, they are looking for white flags, either a bedsheet or a towel, or a t-shirt, they are asking people who need to be rescued from high water to hang on their doorstep, so that trucks can get close enough to them, they can just go to the houses where there are
5:31 pm
white flags, and this is apparently going to be a process that plays out over the next couple of days. as they watered us or to go down, talker, it is not just something that people can go and walk and drive over, it is possible to tell here in the dark, it is leaving behind a very, very sick muck from the st. john's river, so just because things are starting to dry out, and the levels go down, there is going to be a big mess here because this is going to be what is on the inside of a lot of cars, businesses, and homes, people are going to be finding that out. >> tucker: thus can't be healthy. be safe. peter doocy. well, this past weekend, we saw yet more political violence out west, as president of trump supporters and it antifa it clashed at a patriot prayer rally in portland.
5:32 pm
>> let her go. let her go. >> tucker: a couple of cops were injured, by the way, by those people in masks. he is a professor at california state university, he joins us tonight. so you have seen a pretty notable surge in violence from the left in the past year. is it organic? or is there a point to it? >> i think they function in a void, the democratic party and the progressive movement right now doesn't have an agenda, they can't really run on more open borders or more gas and oil production, or 1.6% gdp growth, and then that void, we have a antifa street to thuggery that is part of the party, and they are sort of a robespierre, and
5:33 pm
we went to liberalism, and now this is the engine that is driving things. i guess, if they can convince the democratic party in 2018 that there is a fascist under every american bed and every american bedroom, they cannot drum up hysteria because they are very few -- everyone -- they are not very numerous or influential, but if you can convince them in a 1950s style that they are everywhere, maybe you can drum up identity politics. there is kind of a history to this, talker, in the sense that we can condemn others, but when we get into hugo chavez on the left, or castro, especially stalin, one of the greatest mass murders of the 20th century, then we say you know what, they broke a few eggs to make an omelette, where they had to use certain means because equality was so much better than the
5:34 pm
alternative, so we haven't had that progressive condemnation of violence, we are seeing the fruits of that. >> tucker: it know, and in fact you have seen at the left to make apologies for political violence for generations, as with castro, who put aids patients in concentration camps, but that's okay, because he was doing it for all the right reasons. >> they are useful idiots i think. >> tucker: what is the end game though? >> i think the end game is to because of such disruption chaos that in lieu of an agenda -- because they don't have an alternate agenda that is going to appeal, they can essay people are dying in chicago, you are not getting enough supports because there is confederate statues in charlottesville. so they can address the misdemeanor that is irrelevant, they can't do anything about the felony. and they want to convince the american people that the greatest issue facing us is not 1.6 economic growth under obama
5:35 pm
or joblessness, or north korea, landsman or white supremacist, they are not there, so now they are turning on demonstrators, and think of the logic. an antifascist organization is mad at people for protesting the fascist element of this law where they kill gays, so it is sort of robespierre all over again. >> tucker: as always, good to see you. >> thank you, talker. >> tucker: well, and another storm is coming, a political one. this time it is coming to california, we will talk to you about the meltdown at uc berkeley over an upcoming speech by an alternative radio host. plus more of the latest from florida in the wake of hurricane irma. tech: when you schedule with safelite autoglass,

5:40 pm
>> tucker: is so, brace yourselves, we have some scary news, ben shapiro is scheduled to speak this week at the university of california -- berkeley, based on that reaction, you would think that he is the third hurricane it. they it brace him. they are doing this to the max. category five hurricane about to strike berkeley, evacuate her's, seek a shelter now. they have already announced free counseling services for traumatized students. can you imagine going to those? leave your self-respect at the door. he is a very sensible person, she joins us tonight. robbie george, the princeton professor said yesterday, i think i am quoting. "i would sooner shut down a
5:41 pm
university then offering counseling to students for opinions that they don't agree with." does anyone think that they are becoming parities? >> you would know that i suited the university last spring for refusing to allow three different conservative speakers, so you know, even the dean of the berkeley law school came out last weekend said that one berkeley doesn't allow free access to its facilities, it is violating the first amendment, so you would think that they would have learned to now, having been sued, being more self-aware, but this has been a decade long process of coddling it the students and engaging in this leftist group think it, so they just don't get how crazy it looks to the rest of the world. >> tucker: that is a thing, if you are not from california, this is a big deal or was. my grandmother went there in the 30s. it was considered something that you bragged about. it was a very serious place. and i think on the science side, it still probably is. what kind of damages are doing
5:42 pm
to the reputation of the university with this kind of lunacy? >> it is serious, there are already notable laureates, pioneers of the free speech movement, parents have got to be looking at it, the out-of-state tuition at berkeley is $66,000, so if you are looking at that, that sort of snowflake type gravitating towards berkeley, you know the puppies and the group hugs, and the counseling, the trust falls, and all of this crazy stuff, it doesn't really equip the students to deal with the real world. yes, different ideas, clashes, people like ben shapiro will appear in your workplace, and you will have to deal with it. they are not doing students any favors here. >> tucker: ben shapiro is not inherently scary, as far as i can tell. so do you think it -- there is a scary element to this, and that is the reaction from the left to people who disappear with him. we have seen a loss of -- you
5:43 pm
have been right in the middle of this, making sure that police protect the rights of people trying to exercise their first amendment prerogatives, without which they are meaningless, are you confident that the cops will protect people? >> well, stepping back for a second, ben came to speak in my town of san francisco across the bay a few months ago, many people came to see him speak it, no riots, no craziness, no arrest, nothing, no protesters. so all of this mass hysteria as berkeley is really being whipped up at both by the antifa, but also being enabled by the university, and by the vacuum of police authority, so multiple incidents so far, we have seen the campus police step back, stand down, and allow rioters, antifa, really criminals and domestic terrorist to overrun the city, terrorist people, break into shops, and to generally scare normal citizens away from going to this event. i have friends who are scared to go to this event. >> tucker: so one things like this happen 50 years ago, they
5:44 pm
sent in federal troops, whether it was to little rock or oxford, mississippi, they basically said your constitutional rights cannot be violated, i don't care what your local leaders say, we are going to protect your rights as mentioned in the bill of rights. is that going on here, do you think? >> i hope not yes, tucker, but i will be there on the ground, and lots of witnesses, and national news media will be there to see how berkeley reacts, i think they have gotten the message that what they have been doing in it terms of suppressing conservative speech is illegal, but the police are also at risk here because if they allow protesters selectively to do this, that is a first amendment violation as well. and the university has cracked down on this event. this is of the big hall that holds 2,000 people, sonia sotomayor was allowed it to speak there with a full hall of 2,000 people, bernie sanders was allowed to speak there last year with a full hall of 2,000

people, yet ben shapiro is a such a threat to the common good of a uc-berkeley, that's they are only allowing the hall to be halfway filled. they are also shutting down half of the campus around the auditorium, and they are offering this counsel. they are hyping it so much. >> tucker: yes, i think we are having technical deals so my difficulties. thank you for joining us. as you listen to this, imagine what would happen. well, google already has achieved unprecedented political power. are they living up to that standard? up next, we will talk to an executive, who says that google is using monopoly power. plus, gators in the streets of florida. stay tuned. ♪ hungry eyes

>> tucker: california is suing the trump administration over daca, the state says that it is illegal for the state to kill the program even though it was created by barack obama under executive order. they have defended the program by citing the service of illegal immigrants in the american armed forces. here is a sample. >> well, there are 800,000 people who are here, and they have faces, and they are contributing to our military. >> the dreamers represents the best of our country, they want to get right by the law. >> this is a population of people that we have called the dreamers. they are serving in our military. >> are you going to say that they are defending your rights right now? >> tucker: it so the dreamers are a key part of our national security then, right? we are not attacking them if that is the claim.
5:51 pm
well, not really. fewer than 900 daca recipients are now serving in the armed forces out of a group of roughly 800,000. that is just a 0.1%. in amounts that effectively rounds to zero. the numbers don't lie, many politicians do lie. >> well, google is one of the most powerful companies in the world, probably the most powerful in the history, online videos, online advertising. the company is dominant, is it a monopoly? it sure looks like one. he says that google has engaged in this sort of behavior against their competition. >> thanks so much for having me on, tucker. >> so it certainly looks like a monopoly to me, is it? >> so every jurisdiction has different standards, but really, the best guide that we have today is that microsoft and case
5:52 pm
from 20 years ago, and basically you had then microsoft, which was dominant with windows, snuffed, start-ups like netscap netscape, trying to build things in different places. so google is dominant in the general search, but there are these vertical services, that yelp is a local service, services like this. so it is not illegal to have a monopoly, there is nothing wrong with that, the problem is when you leverage that dominance and then unfairly go after sort of the smaller competitors. >> tucker: when you crush your competition. >> when you eliminate a choice. >> tucker: so explain the effects of their dominance, of their monopoly. on the rest of us, how does that affect free speech or democracy? >> i personally go back to what you said about limiting choice for consumers, i would argue that that is sort of in indirect effects, the market shrivels up, but in the case of local choice,
5:53 pm
which is what yelp operates in, you actually do have direct effects of consumer harm, when a mom does a search for a pediatrician in salt lake city, today on google, instead of getting matched with the best possible information, highly rated doctors, local doctors and pediatricians, she is instead getting the google+ local box, and so there is much better content across the web, but what google has done is basically push down the certain party services and hardwired its own inferior content, which hasn't gone through the same sort of process that it sends everyone else there, end. >> tucker: so you can pay to rise to the top? >> it is not a pay to play thing, there are sort of three buckets. one is the advertising world, one is sort of the meritocracy world, and then this third bucket, which is their own closed off sandbox, which they are force-feeding the users.
5:54 pm
40% of all of our searches is the biggest category and search is locally intense, so people are looking for mainstreamed businesses, and so they have these businesses where there is 90% of durable market share, they take up the whole screen, and people basically go into that experience thinking that's that is the best stuff out there, but it is a lie. i wish i had time to guess your answer to the question why aren't regulators doing something about this, but i hope you will come back. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: after the break it, the latest on irma and the devastation left behind, and then it is 9/11, what does that mean? we will be right back. when you have allergies,

as the nation tries to recover from two deadly hurricanes we're remembering the 16th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. almost 3,000 people were murdered that day. the country permanently changed by the experience, never to be the same. we spent those years fighting in iraq, afghanistan, syria, libya and beyond in a war that has been heavy on frustration. there are still lessons to draw from 9/11. ones we shouldn't forget. there is this one may be first among them. not all cultures are the same. not all cultures are equal. there is a reason the u.s. does not perpetuate 9/11 style attacks while in other countries suicide terrorism is routine. whatever makes us distinct here in the united states we ought to treasure and try to preserve and protect. we leave you with a look at the tribute in light. the annual 9/11 remembrance from where the world trade center once stood. good night from washington see you tomorrow.
