♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." like most people, you probably haven't been watching a lot of cnn lately, but you may have heard they staged a televised town hall meeting on gun control last night. it seems like one of those cultural moments worth being aware of, for educational purpose, i want to show you a short clip of what happened. here it is.

>> tucker: wait, sorry. i'm so sorry. that was actually "1984." we got the footage confused. it was easy to do. here's the cnn version of that. >> i think what you are asking about is the assault weapons ba ban. select me be honest with you about that one. if i believed that outlaw would have prevented this from happening, i would support it. but i want to explain you wow to you why you would not. >> can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the nra? >> i wish the nra lady could have talked to because i would ask her how she could look in the mirror, considering the fact that she has children. >> let me answer the question. you can shop. read out when i'm finished. but let me answer the question. he should have been barred from getting a firearm and he should not of been able to. he should not have been able to purchase a firearm. if i could change time and change circumstances, i would

have found everything in my power to prevent that. >> you just told this group of people that you are standing up for them. you're not standing up for them until you say, i want to ban that. >> i want to thank dana loesch and scott is real her being here, to listen to your questions. >> tucker: emotions were inflamed and obviously understand why. but yelling and nastiness don't help anyone. it's precisely in these times that we need the calmest and most thoughtful voices. cnn last night brought us the opposite. they did it to make money. but they also did it for ideological reasons. that wasn't a town hall meeting and it certainly wasn't a news event. it was an active virtual public he humiliation for anyone who disagrees from cnn's transparency clear view of gun rights. dana loesch spoke about her experience there earlier today.

speaking of money and legacy media love mass shootings. you guys love it. now i'm not saying that you love the tragedy, but i am saying that you love the ratings. crying white mothers are ratings gold to you and many in the legacy media in the back. notice i say crying white mothers because there are thousands of grieving black mothers in chicago every weekend and you don't see a town halls for them, do you? >> tucker: she is right about the deep corruption of the news media. how corrupt? a jrotc cadet, who helped lead students to safety during those shootings last week, went to the cnn event last night or want to do. he said they rewrote the question he wanted to ask. cnn denies it scripting

anything. in other words, they are cleaning, claiming that he is a liar. he joins us tonight we had colton, thanks for coming on. >> think you guys are much for helping having me. i just want to make sure that everyone hasn't forgotten why we are here tonight. we lost 17 wives last night. i actually physically put two to rest. to me that was the hardest thing in the world to endure and no one should have to go through this. as long as we are taking the right steps to move forward from us and make sure this doesn't happen again, i am all for that. >> tucker: we certainly haven't forgotten. thank you for reminding us yet again. we think the only way to make the country better and maybe put a dent in this scourge is to have a rational, thoughtful conversation about what to do next. and with that in mind, you are planning to go to this event last night and tell me if i miss characterizing any of, and you said at the request of the cnn producer, you sent in number of questions that you wanted to ask

of the politicians on the stage and they rewrote one of your questions? is that right? >> yes, sir. what happened was four days ago i had gotten contacted by a lady named carrie stevenson from cnn. she asked me originally to just write a speech, going to be at the town hall, so i agreed. i felt like it would be the right thing to do, be able to go, speak my part as well as open eyes to a few things that i thought could make the situation a little better. from there, three days ago, the next day after that, we had gotten -- i got an email back from her and she asked for more questions rather than a speech. which i was totally fine with, so i wrote a little less of a speech and questions i wanted ask at the town hall. the day after that, it was more questions. she asked for just questions that i would like to ask. so i gave her my questions and then yesterday, at about 5:15, i made contact with her and she had asked if i had asked her one question. what they had done was wrote out

a question for me because in my interview with cnn, i talked about arming the teachers, if they were willing to arm themselves in the school, to carry on campus. and they had -- she had taken that of what i had briefed on and actually wrote that question out for me. i have that question here if you would like me to ask it for you. >> tucker: i want to make sure i have this straight. you sent them a long essay on what you thought, but they put their own words in the question? they were the same as the words you sent in? they were the producers words? >> absolutely. they take it when i had wrote and what i had briefed on a talk about and they were at the question for me. >> tucker: but not with your words. they put their own words into your question, even after they ask you to send back -- >> absolutely. >> tucker: but that seems dishonest. >> is definitely dead and that is kind of why i didn't go last night. originally i had thought that it was going to be more of my own

question, my own sake, and it turned out to be more of just a script. she had actually said that over the phone, that i needed to stick to the script. >> tucker: that's remarkable. did you watch last night? >> i watched a little bit of it. i kind of felt like i didn't really need to because i knew that it is as soon as what had happened with me, it was going to be more scripted and wasn't going to actually be actual questions, and i didn't feel the need to fully watch it. >> tucker: of cnn was willing to reward your question come up with their own words in your mouth, and as you said, you didn't want to go along with that, do you think they did that to other people last night? >> i mean, absolutely. from what i did see, i had seen a couple of people that had asked questions before i left my house and it was a little piece of paper cut out that i know for a fact that nobody cut their own paper out and wrote their own question, especially when they were all based off of the same topic. to me, from right there, it

showed that this is incorrect. why are they all having the same sized piece of paper with a short little question on it? it was a total waste of my time. >> tucker: what is surprising, you are not some person off the street, you are a survivor of the shooting, and the point was to listen to you, to the survivors of the shooting. were you surprised by the way the paved? >> absolutely. honestly, it was very shocking to me because we just went through such a horrific tragedy, for them to take that and make such a big news cast over what they want to hear, it was very upsetting to me. >> tucker: it is shocking to us, too, trust me, and actual journalism business. colton, thank you for telling us that. it is really interesting. >> absolutely. >> tucker: we've got new information about the park when shooting itself. stroman douglass high school an armed guard on the scene it turns out, during the shooting. when the shooting happened, that

guard remained outside, did nothing, and waited for police. of course by the time police arrived, it was too late to save the 17 people who had been murdered. this is just one more layer of government failure in the parkland shooting. there are number of them. the fbi had two credible leads come with a bulk. the police visited the shooter's house more than three dozen times and did nothing. the student had been suspended for fighting an assault but never referred to prosecutors. if he had a felony conviction, might have barred him from getting a gun. over and over again, the government fails to protect the people of florida, those kids, the ones he died, because of incompetence or the sheer possibility of catching every threat. now they are telling us to disarm. gary farmer is the florida state senator and gun control advocate who met with us in tallahassee and he joins us tonight. thank you for coming on. this is new news does what raise the question, though. why are we talking about stripping the ability of citizens to defend themselves when it's clear the government can't defend us and didn't, in this case?

>> thank you for having me, tucker. this new information about the garden but he did or didn't do it just breaking. but i don't think it is indicative of the government's failure to us. i did toward the high school last week. we were briefed on specifics of the shooting, and the shooter went up to the third floor perch and was attempting to shoot out hurricane windows, so that he could become a sniper from that top floor. so i'm not sure why the officer did or did not go into the building. but it would agree with you, the government has failed us and allowing the proliferation of assault weapons and base mass killing devices -- >> tucker: i realize you have an agenda here but from a perspective of citizens who are watching -- >> tucker: and you don't? >> tucker: my agenda is to tell the truth and to make sure the people can respect themselves. it's pretty clear from the repeated failures of the

government, armed security guards, police, that the government didn't protect this public domain people and they died and you were looking in the camera saying you don't have a right to protect yourself. you are the threat. people who have done nothing wrong, they are the ones who should suffer for this. and i'm wondering why would you say that, given the evidence. >> tucker, that is such a gross simplification and it's almost laughable. but for the fact that so many people have died. the fact that you are sitting here saying that if one or two or three or four or more people had been armed, that this would have been different -- >> tucker: i'm not saying that. i'm saying the government failed and you don't want to admit it. >> if you could let me finish my point, i was there at that school. you weren't. i was briefed by fbi and special forces that are doing the forensics there forensics there. >> tucker: what's the answer? >> this man fired 160 160 bulln an eight minute time frame. so this is a very large campus. whether this card went in or didn't, the fact of the matter is, most of the carnage occurred before he ever had an

opportunity to be there to stop it. >> tucker: how do you know? hold on. you are not entitled to make up facts. you just said that that you knew nothing about it and now you are telling me -- if you don't know the facts, that why are you telling us that the security guard didn't have time to stop the shooting? you're making it up. >> we do know he was on the other side of the campus. if you read the reports and speak to the officers as i have, you would know. >> tucker: you said you just learned this. >> tucker, can i finish? i know you like to interrupt people -- if you could let me finish -- >> tucker: what you are avoiding responsibility for the role of government. >> he went to the building when he could. but we also know from the forensics that this man, this disturbed young man, fired 78 shots on the first floor alone within about two, 3 minutes. >> i'm sorry. i can't let you -- i know --

>> magazines that hold 30 and 40 bullets -- >> tucker: i got it. we are aware of that. you are filibustering. >> there is no self-defense purpose for those magazines. he would have been limited -- >> tucker: you would know that. >> not a war of weapon >> tucker: you are reading your dumb talking points. let me ask you, why did local police show up at his house 39 times and did nothing? give an excuse for that or the fact that the fbi ignored it? >> i'm not making excuses for anything. >> tucker: of course you are. >> how assault weapons are the common denominator of all these mass shootings. >> tucker: what you are doing is taking responsibility away from -- >> pivoting away from assault weapons as being the root,

denominator -- >> tucker: i think our viewers can assess who you are and where you are coming from. let's talk about -- since you, like many government officials, will never take responsibility for anything, let me ask you about the bill that you supported that would address the gun problem you claim is paramount. so i think that bill was voted down on the florida house a couple of days ago but he still supported it. >> first of all, i'm in the florida senate, not the florida house. it was voted down in the florida house. what happened in the florida house was, much like you and other commentators, are afraid to have the discussion. >> tucker: let's discuss this bell -- >> just to have a discussion about the issue. we want to talk about the proliferation of these guns and the involvement of these mass shootings and everybody wants to pivot away from that to something else. >> tucker: i am trying to ask

you about the bill that you supported and details in it, assuming you know them. i doubt that. let's find out. in that bill -- let me ask a couple of questions. >> have you read it? what's the bill number? >> tucker: sb 196. i would mark the quiz. i get an a. >> i'm ready to go. >> tucker: in this bill, owners of the rifles, including many hunting rifles that you designate weapons of war and assault rifles, people who own them now -- >> tucker: not true. misinformation number one. >> tucker: would have to register those rifles with the government. am i misreading that? >> that's a different bill. that is 1476. that is the bill to create the gun registry. why don't you have to register a gun would reregister cars and boats -- >> tucker: so i would have to take my rifle, having done nothing wrong, i would have to go in and under the bill you

supported, the gun registry bill, i would have to register bills in my house just by the fact that i've registered no crimes, and i have to register it with you on other government just failed -- >> tucker: what's wrong with that? by our law enforcement unable to have the tools available -- >> tucker: i don't know, they were unable to stop him. >> they need to find the perpetrators of these mass shootings. what is everybody afraid of what the gun registry? >> tucker: were afraid that demagogues like you will misuse that information. after talking to you for a few minutes, that is a legitimate fear. >> tucker: housel, continued the narrative. >> tucker: the government at every level and this is factual, not my opinion, failed to protect the students. you will not concede that and instead, turn your back >> that's not factual. >> tucker: 39 times 2,000. whatever. getting people like you power is frightening. that is the bottom line. i'm out. i can't get a straight answer from you. author and columnist mark steyn

joins us tonight. great to see you, mark. >> by the way, we had a gun registry up in canada, it was a complete fiasco, and it turned out to be -- i got completely effected with an accurate and tell mike information and i believe that canadian taxpayers ended up spending $600 per gun registration because it became just another pointless and accurate government boondoggle. >> tucker: why is it that the people -- there's a lot of reasons these things happen and ultimately they are the fault of the guy who does it, the guy who pulls the trigger. but if government is telling you, we can keep you safe, you have no right to protect yourself, we will protect you, and that they don't come and they want to admit that they didn't, and then they try to prevent you from protecting yourself, and is that suggest that something is not on the level here? >> i think this gets to the heart of it. if you were to look at this school cop, so-called, if he is behaviors as reported, if you are a great example of what

happens when you massively expand law enforcement. the proportion of bad police, the police who let you down, will increase, and it will eventually be like the tsa. when you go to the conveyor belt and get -- take your shoes off, and there's nine people standing around. but how many of them would actually respond effectively in a bad situation? that is the first problem. the second problem is that if you were serious about gun control, you'd have to change the minds of tens of millions of american, law-abiding, american citizens. so you would not stage this practical at cnn's stage to last night, which brought back memories to me of the paul wellstone funeral 15 years ago. you remember, the senator, he died in a plane crash, very sad. they held a funeral and turned it into an ugly partisan political reality.

speaking as a foreigner, you know, americans -- private gun ownership is central to americans' sense of themselves in a way that it is not to australians, for example. and that -- to change that, requires calm, thoughtful, rational debate, rather than emotional exhibitionism of a kind on display last night. >> tucker: i think you made a key point right there, which is, you need to convince people. you can't change hundreds of years of law and customs simply by fiat or screaming or threatening people in a democracy, you have to bring people along with you. you have do not compel them, but convince them. the left doesn't seem interested and not at all. >> i think this is actually where it's going. i would say, for example, that if you look at germany and scandinavia, where police chiefs

tell women that it's not safe to go out alone at night, since they let all the refugees into the country, you have declining social trust. it is likely to move europeans back towards a self-defense model. now you have declining social trust, one of the phenomena of our times here in america. and when people look at that incompetent and weaselly sheriff last night, badgering dana loesch as a private citizen because she wants to know why he didn't act on any of those 39 complaints, people are not willing to mortgage their self-defense rights to the government, not a government as inept as all level has proved, whether at a school district, sheriffs, or federal, all levels of government failed in florida. >> tucker: that's exactly right. if you're telling me i can't defend myself, you better prove you can. mark, that is really deep and

smart. thank you, as always. >> thanks a lot, tucker. >> tucker: last night's shootings is being blamed on toxic masculinity. what exactly is that? we've asked the question many times. hopefully we will find out next.

♪ >> tucker: the parkland, florida, shooting isn't just being blamed on guns, but also on men. not simply the man who did it or the many men who failed to prevent it, but all men. half of the population. he was by all accounts many were fruits but articles and refinery

29, "usa today" argue that the real root of his violent rampage or something called toxic masculinity. not in the dsm, it's a new made-up term, everywhere all of a sudden. the desire to murder others, the theory goes, stems from theo masculine desire to control women that for some can only be expressed through violence. a psychotherapist and hosts "unscripted" energy drain ranges tonight. thanks for coming, on. maybe it's not surprising, but i'm drawing the opposite conclusion here. this kit, the murderer, seems like he suffered from a lack of wholesome masculinity. he didn't have a male role mode role model, he wasn't self-sufficient, he wasn't living up to the classical masculine ideal or providing for others, being a man. he seems quite the opposite. how is this the result of masculinity? >> let's go back to the idea of what toxic masculinity is. as i dug up the story to give the excitement tonight, i'm struggling to get my head around

the concept, even though i've been familiar with it for a while. it's a very hard and knew one thing to articulate. i also want to make it clear thatat the refinery 29 article n feminist talking about talking to toxic masculinity aren't saying that's the sole reason whyy he committed the crimes ths he committed. there is several factors involved. let's talk about what toxic masculinity is and how i understand it. for example when i'm on your show, i get death threats. even if it's not a contentious debate, i'll get reposted and at times 3,000 men will come out with violent words on facebook or accusations towards me that are pretty scary. that's an example of toxic masculinity. showing itself, manifesting in our society. another example of toxic masculinity is when we shut down boys who are having feelings. that's different than the toxicc environment or toxic messaging that little boys get through certain types of music or video games that they are exposed to on a daily basis.

i just want to make it clear. those that is what we are talking about when we are talkig about toxic masculinity. >> tucker: is there such a thing about toxic femininity? >> people were asking me that. no, and that is because woment don't commit these violent crimes at the rate that men do.y >> tucker: they don't commit much violence at all. >> i don't think women are sexually attracted to you necessarily -- >> tucker:r: know. that is because those are classically male ways of acting out in a bad way. are there female -- in other words, i guess, we are stipulating that you can be too masculine and you wind up killing people. can you bebe too feminine or ist only boys who are bad when they act as nature created them? >> i appreciate the question and the line you are going in. i want to get back to the point that you brought up, which i think it's fascinating. there was an article published today in the federalist, which i believe is a conservative blog by a guy named jason hansen. he suggests that what you said

at the beginning. could this actually be a result of a lack of healthy masculine role models in our society that causes what he suggests or alludes to is this idea, the revenge of the lost boy. and that goes back to your first point. >> tucker: there is something going on there. we are doing a series on this next month. i don't understand it, i don't want to pretend that i do. but there's something about constantly attacking boys for being boys, which is what our society specializes in, but causes them in some cases to embrace this caricature of masculinity, which is violent and grotesquely sexualized, it's a parody of masculinity. and i think maybe that is a response, at least in part, to the attacks on boys for being boys? >> i see what you are saying. what is interesting here, and it's really, really sad, as a mother, is that we are starting to -- there's been so many shootings, that there's

psychiatrist making data on why these men make these kinds of crimes, and one of them is domestic violence. a second thing that goes back to what you were just saying is that a lot of them have a lack of a male model figure in their family life. so it's a very complex issue, and i don't think it's one thing or the j other. which is the fact we are talking about this in 2018 on fox news tonight, and disgusting to discussing gender, and ideas around masculinity, shows that as a society in a country, we are facing a human crisis, and one of the things that's being brought to head is these discussions about what is a newi masculine identity or paradigm shift that is happening in our culture. >> tucker: may be having a dad at home, pretending that wasn't a big deal, was a mistake. >> there is a lot of single moms out there raising kids. obviously we are starting to see some issues arising from these things when we don't >> tucker: but some of us called that. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me.

it seems to be spreading disinformation of its own. for example, hamilton 60 it was behind the claim that the release the memo campaign to expose fisa abuse by the fbi was just a russian plot with no support from actual americans. glenn greenwald has been covering this. he's a critic of widespread hysteria on this question. one of the many stories that talk to mike fall through the cracks. i'm grateful that you have been on this. what what is hamilton 68 and whs it done? >>n i wrote about it when it was formed, not even a year ago. last summer.e it was yet another example, the most vivid one yet, if this union between democrats on the one hand and neocons on the other. i should say greens since neocons speak began as democra. it's essentially a group that was, as you said, started by people like bill kristol, people have been leading neocons from

russia is doing. >> tucker: so they are basically running their own propaganda campaign purportedly designed to combat propaganda. what is the agenda behind this? i'm a little confused by it. >> its two fold. one is these are the people who have absolutely been obsessed with the idea that we should be at war with russia forever. back in 2,008, when the president of georgia attacked two provinces that viewed themselves as more aligned with russia and the russians confronted the georgiannm government about age, people like john mccain and marco rubio on that neocon crowd, were calling for nato to go to war with russia over georgia. they've been obsessed with russia forever and have wanted the reinvigoration of a new cold war. that is part of it. the second part is domestic, which is that whatever views theyhe dislike, namely on the lt wing of the party that is and antiwar,ism the left wing of the democratic party, or their isolationist,
