politicized things. we will be live from las vegas tomorrow night. the president will be here with first responders. "fox news tonight" continues with brian kilmeade next. ♪ spilling good evening, everybody. i'm brian kilmeade, this is "fox news tonight," new details about the shooter stephen paddock, the 64-year-old man responsible for killing 58 people and woundingll more than 500 others. forpl more details, let's go to trace gallagher in las vegas work in the story, doing the best he can to keep up with all the breaking news. trace, update us if you would? >> i have to tell you, brian, we got out of the news conference, and it was fascinating, the inside they gave us. f started out by the timeline of the shooting saying that the gunman fired between -- 9-11 minutes. he was able to have fired

thousands of shots. that's what they are saying to us. he had high-power weapons to do that. the s.w.a.t. team did not enter the room for 72 minutes, but they are saying that after nine or 11 minutes, the gunfire stopped. therefore it was deemed nothing more than a barricade. that is why the s.w.a.t. team waited so long. to the understanding is that after the 9-11 minutes, the gunmen turned the weapon on himself. he had three cameras in the room. we have been talking about this all night long. but what we did not know is that two were in the hall including one that was actually hooked up to a self server, a service card from the hotel. the third camera was inside the hotel room. but it was on the peephole looking down the hallway. so there were reports saying that he tried to film himself, not true. all he was concerned about where the police officers into the teams that were coming down the hallway. he wanted to be notified of that. we also learned that they have

found so far some 47 different weapons. we are talking about in the hotel, in his house in mesquite and reno. and the news conference said that in the hotel of the 23 weapons they have found, there were 12 bump stocks. the pieces that you attach on to the weapons that actually turn the trigger into an automatic firing. it does not alter the gun itself, but it means that the trigger gunfire automatically. the guns can shoot off between 40800 rounds per minute. imagine having a dozen of these in the room at the same time. they also showed us some body camera footage from police officers who were down on the ground in the concert area. i want you to look at this video because this is the officers telling people where to go, listen if you will for a few seconds on them being able to try to decipher where the gunshots are coming from. >> go that way.

[bullets firing] >> at this point they're still trying to figure out where the browns are coming from.ll >> it's amazing because you talked about the heroism and these people telling stories of the first responders getting on scene and as people were running away from the gunfire, they weri trying to help people and tryine to guide people in the right direction.pe there are a lot more of these body cameras will see in the days to come. >> brian: before we move on to the girlfriend who's heading back here, she's coming back from the philippines and we originally thought she was in japan. t i want to go back to the 43 guns in total and the 23 that were located in the hotel.. it's illogical to think that he expected to do even more damage than he actually did, wouldn't you think? why else would someone plano something so meticulous, so many extra weapons over the course of so many days?

>> let me add one more factor, in his car they found ammonium nitrate which is a key ingredient for a bomb. remember the oklahoma city bombing. ammonium nitrate was the big weapon inside the u-haul. they found that in his car. the cache of weapons and the ammunition, they said he could have a fire hours. on top of these windows to actually get a better view down on the crowds, two separate windows broken out and two of them were as different angles so they could methodically get different angles on the crowd to kill as many people as possible. if the gun is jammed or if it got overheated he's able to grab another fully loaded weapon and then start shooting again. 12 of them, he could have fired and fired and fired for maybe an hour or longer with the ammunition he had to. he was set for a lot more destruction that it actually resulted in. >> brian: one of the first

people we heard from who knew him was his brother, 90 years old, his mother. he had no idea about this. in his 43 guns he collected them over 20 years. this is his brother, doesn't he know guy has at least 43 guns over the course of 20 years? he said i saw one handgun i never even saw him interested in guns. >> if the brother didn't know or says he didn't know, maybe he t didn't, he lived in florida and the gunman lived here, he knew he was a hunter he knew he had some guns come i didn't know he had that many guns print it brings you to the girlfriend, she lived with him in the home in mesquite. they shared a home up in reno, there was a home in mesquite, texas. she had to have known the guns existed, ammonium nitrate found in his car.e t there had to be some understanding that this was a heavily loaded man and what was his intention, it brings you full-circle to exactly who knew what.

was this thing planned elaborately? or just didn't go as planned, or was this the initial plan and he just kind of got scared and pulled it off in a hurry. nobody quite knows what the initial plan was and if this was the ultimate plan that he had in mind. >> brian: i have two experts standing by, much of which is new, before you go -- what about these pictures that emerged in the philippines of 2012 and 2013, they looked very authentic i understand. she is from the philippines. tens of thousands of dollars is going to the philippines, evidently $100,000 went to the philippines, we cannot say too sure if it went to her, where's it going? >> that was the question, that was brought up for police. they know the transfers were made, they know the money was sent. the assumption was that was sent to the girlfriend but nobody really knows. that's the whole thing, were trying to figure out the origin, try to figure out who is

receiving the money. the assumption was that the girlfriend but they can't really nail that down. right now what they're doing is they're taking all of the electronics out of the house, all of the computer hard drives, they are scouring those right now hoping that will give them some idea of who he's beenl talking to and who he's been in communication with, not just in the past few weeks but the past few months or years, give them a better idea to build a profile or find out exactly what was happening, why was the money going over there and was there some kind of nexus to what happened here on sunday night. >> brian: almost 48 hours since the incident happened and we have so many fundamental questions, i sense that still breaking news all throughout the week, there's so much mystery involved in this, thanks so much, live from las vegas. now let's bring in to discuss this at a higher level, jim hansen the president of the security studies group.

you see him all over the channel. he's excellent as is counterterrorism expert aaron cohen. first off, we heard about another report to "the daily beast" is running, o that this guy actually rented hotel rooms outside another concert. perhaps he was going to perpetrate this horrible incident on september 28th instead of having it on sunday night. what do you take from that? >> that hasn't been corroborated yet but it's interesting, could it have been a dry run, did he go to this potentially and lose his nerve? where does it play into when the girlfriend leaves? is he free from earthly concern concerns? what pushed him over the edge? at this point we don't have any ideology, we don't have any massive life event or anything that would normally triggere? i. was it just some sort of psychotic break?

all of those things play into it and what brought him into that hotel room overlooking a country music festival where "the daily beast" report had it overlooking a pop and rap festival. there is no way to tell was he targeting one kind of crud or -- crowd or anything else. it's painful to not have any real information as to what this guy was up to. >> brian: i want to do it with experts like yourself, isis doubled down and said he's our guy. they do have a huge presence in the philippines. if i'm putting you on the case, do you rule out them playing a role? >> i wouldn't rule them out, especially when you're dealing with a group like isis and what it comes to fundamentally dealing with potential terror, you have to keep everything on the table and then start pulling it out backwards.n pulling them away and say no, no, no, i wouldn't rule out isis. but i also would continue to harness my focus on everything we do know right now.

the sense that i'm getting and if i was profiling this particular individual, to thwart potential terror attacks. what we do know is he was a loner. we do know he was with a girl, he was divorced. we know that he did not have a close relationship with his family. we know that he had dozens and dozens of weapons. he went to a specific place for a specific reason. which was up in this hotel to open fire. cameras mounted outside. he turned the gun on himself and killed himself, he fits all of the how -- if you will -- regarding a mass killer in the sense that he was methodical and isolated. what we don't know as jim pointed out eloquently, we don't have the how. i think we're going to see in a very short period of time, once we get that girlfriend down and

start downloading the forensics on that computer and those phones and tracing the money, we're going to start to get a much clearer picture over the next week of the why. >> brian: evidently he went to a local starbucks in mesquite and multiple workers said he treated his girlfriend horrendously, they used to wince when he had conversation and embarrass her publicly. something i know you put together if isis wasn't involved in terror groups that don't have a role, they are watching, watching the response,ps they're watching the reaction, does that worry you? >> it absolutely does. they have double down and put our reports that they did controlled the sky. and that there will be evidence coming out to prove that. there's no substantiation for that other than them, they compared it to a time that they shut down the russian helicopter

and all the media says this wasn't them until they put out the proof later in their magazine. they put out painful things. if they could be recruiting 64-year-old white guys, how much more horrifying that was then bearded guys named mohammed, we would never know who the bad guy is. they're working at whether or not there's any reality. his father was a bank robber who escaped from prison and actually hid out for a number of years. the idea that this guy was a loner, off the grid, we don't know a lot about them because of that. he is kind of an anomaly. >> brian: how much would you like to question his girlfriend, already spoken to the fbi? the questions she might have, and she is from australia, spent some time in hong kong, japan, and the philippines. you've got to recreate all of her locations, correct? >> i wouldn't have even waited for her to come back, i would've

been in the philippines with a task force sitting her down on foreign soil. directing a very targeted interrogation designed specifically around science which would be to read and calibrate based on her body language, i would be looking for every potential tell from the eyes dilating to whether the palms were facing towards me or away from me, to work her arms were placed, to the tone of her voice. dilating and disecting that information and cross t referencing that with every piece of data she's given in the interview to track down exactly whether or not she knew what her boyfriend was up to. ultimately she does or she doesn't, the whole thing is very fishy. i believe we're going to see some very interesting things unfold regarding this case. >> brian: we can't analyze until we know what happened, 48 hours later we still don't know what happened. we've got to have your back, same team, keep in mind the

sheriff lombardo has been under pressure but he gives us great information during the press conferences i think that helps tremendously, thanks.nf meanwhile, we move ahead, hillary clinton playing the blame game again, new information on the podcast. pointing her fingers at republicans and the nra,hi we will tell you why after this quick break. jason jay pitts is on next

endless shrimp is here with incredible flavors, like new nashville hot shrimp- crispy, spicy, and drizzled with sweet amber honey. plus the delicious classics you love, like garlic shrimp scampi. try all the shrimp you want, however you want 'em. but hurry, it ends soon. hi. so i just got off the phone with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight... four weeks without the car. okay, yep. good night. with accident forgiveness, your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it.

>> brian: here's what we have right now, let's talk a little politics. hillary clinton is using the las vegas massacre to speak out about gun violence where she's casting blame on the g.o.p. and the nra. >> do you feel like they're complicit, the g.o.p. and the nra, and the gun epidemic were seeing in america? >> of course they are, this is nothing but pure unadulterated greed by people who want to sell as many guns as they can to engage in a fear and rhetoric about why everyone has to have guns. >> brian: the majority whip in the house, bring us all together after being shot in june, struggling to save his own life

had this to say about a gun issue with exclusive interview with martha martha maccallum at two hours ago. >> inevitably questions about the second amendment are raised by what happened in las vegas. it happens almost immediately. have you, in your experience of your own, and what you saw in las vegas, has it changed how you feel about any of that? >> it's fortified that, you have to recognize that when there is a tragedy like this, the first thing we should be thinking about is praying for the people who were injured and doing whatever we can do to help them, to help law enforcement. we shouldn't first be thinking about promoting our political agenda. >> brian: he doubled down on how he feels about guns, joinind us to react, jason chaffetz is always on the move and a former chairman of the house oversight committee, fox news contributor. we also have with us richard

goodstein a democratic strategist. do you think it's appropriate to talk about gun violence now? many say if you want to change things now is the time to do it while the focus is on it. >> at this point in time when w> talk about saying prayers, about pausing, in the house of representatives, you had two democrats from massachusettsof that wouldn't even join the rest of the body in taking a moment of silence to recognize the victims, that's how disgusting d this debate is already. hillary clinton is trying to be relevant, she's not she wants to take away your guns, divide this nation injecting herself into the story, it's just absolutely disgusting. when you have people in the hospital fighting to save their lives. >> brian: you don't have the leaders in congress doing that, chuck schumer is not taking that stance and neither is nancy pelosi. does it surprise you thatg hillary clinton wants to put her two cents in while people are still struggling to survive?

>> brian, i don't remember jason or any of his colleagues criticizing donald trump for calling for a muslim ban exactly after the san bernardino event. that was not very sympathetic to the victims, that was trying ton push an agenda right on the heels of a tragedy. one other question, all of these people who are saying now is not the time, now is the time we should be feeling sympathy, the -- tell me which one mr. chairman, which one of your colleagues announced a time after some gun incident like this, now is the time. one because the fact is the nra is calling the shots. if it wasn't for the nra. >> don't look into the camera and tell us -- i've got five guns and nobody is taking my guns away, nobody. don't get out there and tell me, don't tell me that the nra pulls my strings or anybody else's. if you have a direct evidence,

but that's it. >> here's the evidence, 90% of the public supports universal background checks, let's do a thought experiment. absence of the nra, what we have universal background checks? >> brian: you know what's fascinating about this conversation, a background check stopped this guy, there's nothing in his background. he was able to get guns legally. if you want to make it semiautomatic to automatic, that means a ban of automatic weapons, people have alreadyo been four, it's already been through. if you want to a debate on assault a lot of the things thab people have been brought up already have not been part ofha the case as we know it. if you saw the first block we had of the show, there's still so much we don't know. >> that's one of the great mysteries here, to be this far away from it, 48 hours and still not know the motive -- i think that is different from san bernardino. we did have direct evidence pretty quickly. we are very concerned that people are coming into this country and not knowing their

background. i'm still concerned about that to this day. we don't fully understand this d story and i do believe they have some very direct theories that b they aren't sharing with the public yet, let them do their job. i will engage in the debate, i do think there are things to talk about as it relates to mental health and other types of things. don't prescribe a solution if you don't know what the problem is. >> there are mental health problems in every other country on this planet and none of them have the gun violence that we do. we've had more gun deaths since 1970 then in every war the u.s. has been involved with since the revolutionary war. >> brian: fled to gun violence around the country. >> spend your time in chicago, because they have a huge problem two. >> brian: nationwide gun violence is down it's almost cut in half.

i do think we should approach something in a levelheaded way to see if we can stop the next thing. nobody is pro-mass shooting but i was shocked not just that hillary clinton and others, late-night hosts were talking about in 10 minutes to very popular politicians immediately saying nra and republicans and indicating they are complicit. i was stunned by that as if democrats are responsible for that crazy guy that was shooting republicans at that softball field which we know is also not the case, thanks guys. the power of prayer at a time of tragedy. a prominent pastor who knows the right way through this horrible situation will be joining us next.. next. i accept i don't bike as far as i used to. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but no matter where i ride,

i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. ask your doctor about eliquis. ♪

latest, the girlfriend of the killer is heading back to she is a person ofac interest and were supposed to get new information there. in this time of tragedy, many have turned to prayer as a way of coping with the crisis including the president of the united states. joining us to discuss this, how religious leaders should respond to this is someone who wrote a book about it, he is pastor robert jeffers. his book is out, it's excellent, "a place called heaven." can you possibly find a way to make sense of evil like this, evil that we can't even figure out a motive to yet? >> i think we have to avoid pat answers to question like this but what we can say with absolute certainty is what thebu bible says with certainty. first of all, evil is a reality, the president touched on that yesterday. jesus talked about it 2,000 years ago. he said satan is real, he's the

author of evil, he's a liar and a murderer. even though evil is real and the stranglehold on the world is real, it's also temporary. the great hope in the bible is the one day the lord is going to return, he's going to defeat evil and that hope of heaven is powerful enough to extinguish the horrors of las vegas. >> brian: 58 families wondering why their son, daughter, husband or wife is dead because they wanted to go see a country music concert andy when they hear there's evil in the world, that's not good enough, what do you say to that? >> a few years ago my wife and i are driving out in the middle of west texas and our headlights went out and i thought how in the world are we going to make it home? we got behind an 18-wheeler and focused in on the tail lights that 18-wheeler and doing so let us safely home. i would say to anyone who is going through a storm in their

life, there are some truths we can focus on.nu number one, god is love and he is good, we know that. he is all-powerful, all wise, he has a plan, even though we don't understand that immediately. ultimately, god is going tome defeat evil. the pain we feel is real but it's also temporary. if we focus on those things we know to be true, those truths will see us through the storm and deliver us to the other side. >> brian: he wrote a book about that, it would help situations like this make more sense. it's called a place called heaven, a pathway to victory. thanks so much. coming up straight ahead, the late-night comics diving headfirst into the gun controlig debate. will their support cross a line with viewers stay with us. ♪ [burker] at farmers, we've seen almost everything

terror attack. it seems like these late-night hosts have an agenda, they want. to disarm us all. it's typically a time when we would have these -- we would come together as a country, they are more concerned with their political agenda. >> brian: younger audience, not nearly as big as it used to be it used to be nbc and everybody else until letterman split off. l do you think they are doing the responsible thing sounding off and giving their opinion? >> our hearts are with the victims in las vegas but this is irresponsible. if you have a public platform you do need to have both sides, that's what they like to say they believe in and nuance. this is not nuance, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again.d gun violence should not be a staple of american history, it is a recent thing. it's a recent thing because our society, our fabric, our culture, we used a value virtue, we used a value life, libertytu and the pursuit of happiness and the constitution. the constitution explicitly says

we have a right to bear arms and protect ourselves. what happens is the shooter and all the other mass shooters have a similar profile and reject virtue. >> brian: they all have the same point of view, jimmy fallon gets in trouble for ratings but they all despise president trump, they mock him endlessly where you can't even find the humor it's just a point of view. in this situation, if not now, when? can we find out what happened, what the motivation was? how he passed his background check and where we go from here? >> not just that, brian, but they don't talk educated lee about -- they don't even know what an automatic orr semiautomatic a gun is, but they have these talking points about this issue. it is a point now where we need to push back on this agenda. we need peace in this country. we need the second amendment to protect ourselves.

but these guys don't care about it. many of these people, brian, i know that this is not pc, but many were not born in this country. they do not know what we went through. a they do not know what we went through as a nation to get through this point. as a black man in america, it took the second amendment, we didn't just become free, it took the second amendment to fight off the oppression that was happening, it took white and black folks to fight against them. >> brian: everyone wants a solution, i'm watching the vietnam series and johnny carson after a horrific day in vietnam, says were not going to do the tonight show tonight and i'm going to toss it to my news division. in times of horror, maybe the responsible thing is to throw at it on jimmyt keep kimmel. >> i 100% agree with president trump and calling out

the hypocrisy of fake news, presenting themselves as experts and people they should take seriously. even though they have no policy backgrounds. you pointed out this monster who perpetrated these attacks passed the rigorous background checks. he passed background checks in multiple states. it's not about that, it's about reconstituting our national fabric and saying we believe in virtue, we believe that character matters. if you talk about character, those late-night characters down in hollywood, they will make fun of you and say that you are wacko or a religious nut job. how about we talk about that? >> what legislation if the liberal's could name one thing that we could have done to prevent this. i'm all ears. >> 48% of the country says they own a gun in the home.. >> brian: over the last eight years, gun purchases have been up 50%, overall gun violence

>> brian: president trump conducting a whirlwind tour of puerto rico reviewing efforts to try to help the hurricane ravaged island and tried to get it on the right path.ca fox news chief national correspondent ed henry joins us now. do you remember when puerto rico was the number one story until tis horrific shooting? >> it's one crisis after another, the president is trying to deal with all that what has happened in puerto rico in his words is nothing short of a miracle. he said the death toll could have been far worse, the president brought along first lady melania trump for a softer touch and took a selfiesu with locals to try to show he cares.s. amid the ongoing attacks from democrats who have been charged

the administration moving much slower to deal with the crisiss in puerto rico to deal with the responses in texas, florida, louisiana. 90% 95% residents of puerto rico are still without power, some struggling to find potable water he jokes that puerto rico's troubles had thrown the federal budget out of whack. the president quickly added that was fine because the government has saved lives, even talk of saving lies cause controversy, the president caused the death toll, now jumped over 30, not as bad as the over 800 death after katrina, a comment he tried to clarify with an interview with geraldo rivera. >> if you look at one statistic, 16 deaths is a far too many

deaths, if you look at katrina in the thousands, this is a storm the likes of which nobody has ever seen. we had fema before the storm even came, they were on the island and they were on the island during the first term, they got hit by two hurricanes. were very proud of the job we've done.ot >> mr. president, enough, stop blaming puerto rico for the store that devastated their shores, i don't remember the president telling texas the budget was out of whack. >> also lavishly praised for carter was hello. putting politics aside to deal with the storm. a-s not-so-subtle shot at san jn mayor carline cruz who the president shook hands with but they had a war of words over the weekend. as for the mayor's claims of a week a federal response, defense secretary james mattis said there are now 10,000 u.s. troops on the ground in puerto rico. an astonishing number.

>> brian: thanks for the recap, politics as usual even when it comes to hurricanes. karl rove was on with martha maccallum today whereol he didn't exactly have glowingll reviews for president trump's trip to puerto rico. >> how do you think he did today? >> i don't think that he did anywhere near as well as he did yesterday when he was talking about las vegas, i thought hisel remarks on las vegas were extraordinary. he showed an unnecessary sensitivity to the criticismsm over the federal effort here. >> brian: cory lewandowski, karl rove was saying it was one of the best speeches that president trump ever gave a couple of days ago. is he right in saying he made some mistakes in puerto rico? >> no, look. the federal government and the trump administration have been all in in puerto rico just as they have been in texas when it's come to florida,he the full weight of the government is there. they have said and the government has agreed whatever

they need, the trump administration is going to provide. this is a mainstream media, this is a liberal left agenda that they want to perpetuate that says the president isn't doing everything he can to help the t people of puerto rico, that's just not true. he and melania trump were they are today to show and to demonstrate the full resolve of the u.s. government is supporting the of puerto rico.de >> brian: the death toll climbed up to 34 today, he did have those meetings he does relate to people one-on-one. you witnessed it. he wins people over who might be on the fence because of the sincerity he brings to the table.en he's got another challenge and is tomorrow. go out to las vegas a city he loves in a place that he knowsis and try to make sense of it. what advice would you have for the president if you were by his side tomorrow? >> the tragedy in las vegas is incomprehensible for any administration and what he has shown and what he has demonstrated, he's going to go there tomorrow, he's going to talk to the people, talk to the

loved ones who lost people in that terrible tragedy and make sure that the people on the ground some of the first responders are going to have all the resources that they need to make sure the federal government is acting in such a way that ensures this is not a lone gunman incident, all of the resources of the government will be there. this is very critical, the president has said whatever the resources are that are necessary to make sure that las vegas is a safe and secure, the federal government will be able to provide those. >> brian: bill clinton changed around his administration after oklahoma, heartfelt comments. george bush after a divided country thought he was an illegitimate president, got 90% approval rating after the way he handled 9/11 on top of that fire truck, does president trump have the same opportunity? >> he does, if you look at the tragedies of the country, this terrible tragedy the president is a uniter, is not a divider, he's bringing people together.

he's ensuring people that people from all political parties whether it's republican,et democrat, independent have the resources that they need to be successful. that's what the president does best, that's what he's going to las vegas tomorrow. >> brian: cory lewandowski sticking around, we'll talk about that visit what's at stake, also update you on thee unfolding investigation as his girlfriend comes back from the philippines, should be inun america tomorrow. she's got a lot of explaining to do. don't go anywhere.

dale. dale! oh, hey, rob. what's with the minivan? it's not mine. i don't -- dale, honey, is your tummy still hurting, or are you feeling better to ride in the front seat? oh! is this one of your motorcycling friends? hey, chin up there, dale. lots of bikers also drive cars. in fact, you can save big if you bundle them both with progressive. i'd like that. great. whoo. you've got soft hands. he uses my moisturizer. see you, dale. bye, rob.

[he has a new business teaching lessons. rodney wanted to know how his business was doing... ...so he got quickbooks. it organizes all his accounts, so he can see his bottom line. ahhh...that's a profit. know where you stand instantly. visit quickbooks-dot-com.

...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. what's in your wallet? >> what happened in las vegas is in many ways a miracle. the police department has done such an incredible job. and we will be talking about it as time transpires. >> brian: the comment at the end of the statement en route to puerto rico has some worried

that the president is going to get caught up with chuck and nancy when it comes to guns. let's bring in campaign manager corey lewandowski who knows the president as well as anyone. especially in unscripted situations like that. the people on the right i think the president will be caught up in this and not take a quick look -- a look at gun laws. if they are worried, do they have a right to worry? >> brian, i know the president very, very well. i need to sayde this. i was a first responder. i was a police officer. i understand the terrible tragedy that has taken place in nevada, but look, this is not a reactionary thing. there is no law that would have been on the books that prevents insane people, crazy people from doing terrible, terrible things. we can make every law we want in the world, and that does not i stop people from going out and doing crazy things. so, look, this person that we understand, that we know of, purchased every firearm

legally, he had no criminal record. he is a 64-year-old individual who had no predisposition of committing a terrible tragedy. you can pass all the laws you want in the world, it is not going to make a difference. when it comes to the issue of gun control, you cannot stop people who are mentally deranged from doing terrible things. >> brian: the fact that he brought that up, he is saying, i'm not shutting off the left to be alt-right, because this is a time to bring people together. we will look at if this is preventable, i think it is arrogant to say, i'm not looking at that. that cannot be the case. it is a unifying statement, but i was shocked about how many conservative websites b were saying, oh, my goodness, the president is abandoning the guns. >> there is no abandoning theba gun. he has conceal and carry licenses in the state of new york. one of the hardest states in the country to do that. i'm sure he does not carry a weapon anymore, but he has a license because he went through

the proper process.as the difference, it is very simple. when you legislate and you make laws for people who are following those laws, the criminals do not follow laws. to this individual actually had all of the guns legally, what we understand. so you can make all the laws you want, it does not stop a mentally deranged person from perpetuating and perpetrating am crime like this, an absolute disaster. >> brian: the president will be on the ground tomorrow in las vegas. he will see how bad it is and what this assassin was all about. corey lewandowski, thank you so much for the quality time. have a great night. meanwhile, i have to tell you that you can catch me tomorrow on "fox & friends" with geraldo rivera who did in an exclusive interview. we have more on that. also on my radio show on 9:00-, the brian kilmeade show. and with my guests jorge rodriguez was also a cia guy, also going to have steve russell.

the only weapons manufacturer on capitol hill. have a great night. thanks for watching. do not go anywhere. you have been watching "fox news tonight." ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." two days after the deadliest mass shooting and almost a century, horror is being joined by confusion. stephen paddock shot hundreds of people from his hotel room in las vegas and what was one of the most thoroughly planned rampages we've ever seen. 59 murdered, more than 500 injured. two days later we know a lot about how he committed this atrocity, was, virtually nothing about why paddock left no manifesto, no suicide note that we've seen. his family and friends that he never seemed particularly interested in religion or politics despite the arsenal he had massed in firearms
