their offers of federal and state resources. ♪ >> tucker: well, good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." kind of an amazing story to bring you.d newly released surveillance from the parkland, florida, shooting has just been released. it shows former deputy scot peterson, the person in charge of protecting the building, arriving outside at the moment that nikolas cruz was conducting his rampage. peterson then stood around for several minutes as the shooting occurred and did nothing. 17 died. also documents just obtained by judicial watch show how egregious this failure was. peterson's failure. training manuals from the broward county sheriff's office explicitly instruct the first officers on the scene to confront the shooter. of course, that didn't happen, just the opposite.

tom fitton is the president of judicial watch, and he joins us tonight. tom, great to see you. so there was some confusion when we first learned that this deputy in charge of protecting the students, there was some speculation that perhaps he had been told not to, that the department required him to waito for backup. not true. >> no, the manual says he may go in, and the training materials that we obtained under the florida sunshine law, the classes and the materials show you're instructed to try to stop the shooter as soon as you're able, whether you are one deputy, two deputiestr showing up, three, or four. and the language is pretty striking. they say every time you hear a shot, you can presume another person is being killed. so the instructions are to try to try to confront the shooter as quickly as possible, becauseb the analysis was, after columbine, as soon as the shooter is confronted by an individual who is armed, whetheb

it be a police officer, a school security officer or a civilian who is carrying a concealed weapon, the shooter engages, shoots back and forth or commits suicide. either way, the shooting of innocents stops. it's upsetting to read these documents knowing what actually happened that day. and it shows a failure byea broward county sheriff's department either to properly train its officers or, in the case of maybe the current officer -- the officer who had to resign in disgrace, obviously he ignored the training if indeed he followed it. >> tucker: so this wasn't some hidden thing. this wasn't esoteric. this was in the training manual. i think that's relevant because sheriff israel in the days after the shooting went to the cnn gun-control rally and sat on 's the stage and blamed armed citizens, blamed the middle of the country basically for what happened and never mentioned the failures of his deputy, but he must've known that this was the protocol. wouldn't he have known that? >> that's right. and you know, other deputies arrived and they didn't go into the building as quickly as they should have either. a

and they talk about, if you have four deputies go in, you're supposed to form up in a quad,d, they call it, a diamond formation, and go and confrontou the shooter. >> tucker: just to be clear, i think there were four deputies outside, armed, during the shooting. >> and they did not immediately enter the building. peterson was there. three others showed up, and it took them a bit to enter the building. peterson should have been there immediately.we he could have gone in by himself. another deputy arrives, they could have gone in together. they recommend if you go in together, there is a technique for approaching the shooter if you're just a two-man team.ch what's frustrating about this, you see this material and you're recognizing what the failure was in parkland that led to the needless deaths. we suffered through these ridiculous demonstrations yesterday. they weren't ridiculous. kids fear for their safety. they came out and said what they thought. but it has nothing to do with what the situation in parkland was, which was the failure of law enforcement to follow their own protocols to protect innocent civilians. on top of that, we now know

about the fbi failing to follow up on tips. >> tucker: so the authorities failed to protect us. they lied about it and blamed us. >> and now the talk is, with the politicians, we're going to take away guns. it has nothing to do with protecting kids in schools. >> tucker: so rather than accept blame, they turn it outward on the population. >> they're incredible documents. frankly, your viewers should go look at them. they're going to be pretty darn upset when they see with the training was, because they're going to see the training as being extremely informative. and my gosh if it had been followed, lives would have been saved. >> tucker: tom fitton, judicial watch. thank you very much for that. >> you're welcome. >> tucker: left-wing politicians turned out in large numbers to support students who walked out of schools. new york governor andrew cuomo prostrated himself literally while joining in chants from latin american revolutionaries. >> [chanting]

>> [chanting] >> tucker: that was not the cnn anchor. that was his rhythm challenged brother. senator bernie sanders participated as well, by the wa way. >> here demanding we have the courage to take down the nra,e to pass common sense gun safety legislation, the vast majority of what the american people wan want. >> tucker: sanders and cuomo attended these rallies, but they didn't go alone. they were escorted by bodyguards paid by you who went to protect them. those bodyguards were armed of course with guns. bodyguards allowed to carry ten rounds in their magazines. if you want to protect yourself in the same way in new york,

you'd be thrown in prison and some people of course already have been. there is no ambiguity here. in a republic, and we are supposed to live in one, the rulers cannot hold themselves to different standards than the ruled. they are citizens just like you and me. you can't surround yourself with an armed retinue and then tell the rest of us we don't have a right to defend themselves -- ourselves. that's worse than flying your private jet to accept a climate change award. ethan bearman joins us tonight. it seems pretty simple. i am not calling for disarming bodyguards. i think the threats out there are real. i happen to know they are. i just hope we can have the same standard for our rulers and the ruled. if i can't have a magazine that holds more than ten rounds, why do andrew cuomo's bodyguards who i am paying for, get to do that. >> interestingly enough, i was unaware his bodyguards did. i know in the case of bernie sanders, those were ten round magazines.

standard law enforcement issued. >> tucker: hold on. i'm not bragging but i do actually know about thiss. k a glock mag has more than ten. they have magazines bigger than you are allowed. we are paying their bodyguards. okay, they are not allowed in new york. they are allowed in vermont. all law enforcement, they don't limit their rounds and magazines, why would they do that? that's insane but they are asking that we do it. how does that work? >> i kind of agree and disagree. first off, andrew cuomo's k bodyguards should be stuck with the same limits that we are calling for, which is a ten round magazine. other than special teams for law enforcement like s.w.a.t. teams and whatnot, they all have very special circumstances that they would have greater round magazines at their disposal. but the average law enforcement officer should be carrying a ten round magazine just like we would call for anybody else.

>> tucker: but why? do you think they'll do something wrong with it? i'm not arguing to disarm the police, i'm arguing to let people have the same protection that their rulers and, politicians have. t why would you want to in effect lower the effectiveness of a bodyguard? e >> what is the circumstance where you're going to need more than a ten round magazine? a lot of my friends who are deeply into firearms, larger than ten round magazines have a higher percentage rate of jamming. you are hurting the opportunity of the law enforcement officer to do their job properly. >> tucker: they are kind of experts on this question. i think your average cop knows a lot more about what makes an effective firearm then your average cable news host. let's let them decide. can we just agree that politicians shouldn't be allowed to set one standard for themselves above the standard they require of everyone else?

that's like a basic democratic principles the left used to before, i thought. >> we do agree on that. that's why i am saying that bodyguards should be limited, if he's calling for ten round magazine limits in new york, then the bodyguards should have that same limitation. a ten round magazine. i agree there is a theocracy that's happening there that i don't agree with either. >> tucker: this is universal. it's not just that. politicians of all kinds, ones you agree with and ones you don't agree with have all kinds of people with semiautomatic carbines under their trench coats. a government including local law enforcement, have military vehicles. do you see what i'm saying? you're setting up a class of people who are cutting themselves off from the people who are supposed to be ruling in the most hypocritical possible way. why not just say you can't pass any gun control that your bodyguards don't abide by? we can settle the argument right there.

>> bodyguards, i don't agree with you on local law enforcement. local law enforcement is dealing with issues that requires them to have things like bearcats. we've seen then use them very successfully in the number of situations around the country. local law enforcement requires that the state have an opportunity to warm trickle arm more like the military than your average. citizen. >> tucker: can we simplify it? i wonder if we can get the brady people and the bloomberg people on board. no politician can vote for any piece of gun control legislation that he or she would not apply to him or herself. >> i'm all for that 100%. i totally agree with you on that point. politicians should have to abide by what theyey are imposing on e rest of us. i separate the police differently. >> tucker: that's probably a fair point. really quickly, i

don't know if you've got kids. but i think a lot of people look to what happened yesterday, even if they agreed with the gun control sentiment and said you probably shouldn't be using kids as political props. would you have been okay with it if teachers are bringing kids to some kind of right wing march or pro-gun march? would that have been okay with you? >> interestingly enough, i don't want teachers necessarily doing that, i want them to teach the background, the history, explain what's going on, but i want the kids to do it on their own. here in california, it was mostly the kids doing it on their own and i fully support them speaking out, defending their idea of being safe in their educational abilities. >> tucker: ethan bearman, great to see you, thanks for coming on. former fbi director andrew mccabe is days from retirement, could be canned before he retires.s. does he deserve that? that's next.

specific question. i'm not an expert. i'm watching that lady in the afternoons over at msnbc scream about how this is immoral to punish this guy.. has he done something worth punishment? >> he's done a number of things worth punishment, including careening through obstruction of justice from the beginning of the trump campaign, doingng everything he could to exonerate hillary clinton in the email server case corruptly. and then if hillary didn't win the presidency, to figure out a way to falsely claim that donald trump had committed a crime. even though that's not what he's being fired for, that'sla certainly ultimately what should he be assigned responsibility for. he should be fired. he should have been fired a long time ago, and if he loses some of his benefits, that's good for the country. it's the least that can be done to him. >> tucker: what are the consequences of having high-level law enforcement officers who have the power of life and death over the rest off

us lying? caught lying? what does that mean for us? >> it means that the system of equal justice has been rent asunder by the conduct of james comey, america's best known dirty cop, andrew mccabe and others, including senior obama administration justice department officials. this is a moment in history that has sullied the reputation of the fbi and the department of justice and deservedly so. every one of these people should be put in a wanted poster at a post office, even though they may never be arrested. what they have done to the department and the fbi is undermine the confidence of the american people in federal law enforcement. it is disgraceful, and it all stems from their animus towardss president trump. it is despicable. >> tucker: so the media are supposed to be watchdogs, even vigilant against the abuse of power. this would be a profound abuse

of power if true. why are they making excuses for it, do you think? a >> they're making excuses for ih because they, like comey and mccabe and senior obama doj people, hate donald trump. and they believe that anything, including violating every known standard of federal law enforcement, is justified to either keep him from office or,t if elected, take him out of office. it is one of the worst moments in the history of american law e enforcement.t. and the shame is on comey and everybody associated with it. >> tucker: so as a procedural matter, if an fbi official e is caught lying to internal investigators, to their ig or whatever department within the bureau did the investigation, isn't that just prima facie cause for firing right there? >> it is, and it's also a violation of the false statement federal statute, and it's a crime. >> tucker: huh, 'cause it's a crime for you or me to lie to the fbi, correct? >> it is indeed, and it's a crime for mr. mccabe to do so.

>> tucker: so mike flynn c has seen his life destroyed because he lied to the fbi, supposedly. he pled to it. mccabe lies to the fbi and what's her name over at msnbc screams about how he might be punished for it. unbelievable. >> the people in the media have given up on being objective or caring about anything than hating trump. shame on them.he >> tucker: yeah, i mean, the rule of law is kind of bigger than trump i would say. anyway, joe, thank you. great to see you. >> my pleasure.f speak to a group of immigrants in this country is suing the trump administration. they claim they can't be deported because it would be racist. an aclu attorney supporting them joins us next. thou hast the patchy beard of a pre-pubescent squire! thy armor was forged by a feeble-fingered peasant woman... your mom!

>> this is a fox news alert. tragedy striking at florida international university in miami. four people are dead and nine injured following the collapse of a newly installed pedestrian walkway. the bridge came crashing down onto a busy street below. a doctor at the kendall regional medical center says two of the injured arnett extremely critical condition. a frantic search for survivors is underway with rescuers using everything from canines to heavy equipment and cranes to make contact with people who still might be trapped. the national transportation safety board is at the scene and is in the process of launching a full investigation.

i am robert gray. now back to "tucker carlson tonight" ." >> tucker: in the last year, and this is a recently new thing, the american left has united behind a new theory of citizenship in the united states. anyone from around the world can come here for any reason. and once they're here, they never have to leave no matter what the original justification for being here is. and if you disagree, you are a bigot. the u.s. has a designation called temporary protected status for immigrants from certain countries. we have this because we are kind country. we try to help. the status is supposed to be a short-term measure, letting people remain in the u.s. if w their country suffers a calamity like a natural disaster, earthquake, flood, whatever. this program has been around for a long time, and it has been badly abused. el salvador, for example, received tps in 2001 after a series of earthquakes. it still has it today. one-third of all salvadorans on the globe now live in the united states.

honduran immigrants have enjoyed temporary status since 1998. haitians have had it since 2010. the trump administration has said jeez, this is supposed to be temporary. let's make it temporary and let the status of some countries expire. in response, the left is revealing what they really think about temporary. they were actually permanent all along. with support of the aclu, several immigrants are suing the trump administration, saying they can't be deported. they claim that the president has described some countries as terrible places to live, therefore he is a bigot. never mind the entire justification for letting immigrants come here in the first place is that their countries were terrible places to live.s hmm. the only thing that matters is this single principle to the left: anybody can live in the u.s. and they should never be forced to leave ever. we think that's the principle, but to explain it to us, ahilan arulananthan is the legal director of the aclu of southern california, and he joins us tonight. ahilan, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> tucker: so there's an obvious internal contradiction here, which i'm sure you've pondered before, which is these

plaintiffs whom you're representing are saying it was bigoted of the president to describe certain countries as hellholes, crappy places to live. and yet the justification for n their being here anyway and not returning is that those countries are exactly what president trump said they were. so how does it work? >> i don't think that's quite how we see it, tucker. i think the government can create a temporary program for people to stay 6, 12, even 18t months. these are countries where people have been lawfully residing here under this u.s. program for almost 20 years. in some cases, more than 20 years. all we're saying is that when the government wants to change the program and take away their status, tear apart their families, their u.s. citizen children who are in high school they have to have a very good reason to do that. and they don't have a very good reason here. >> tucker: may i just say that -- hold on. isn't the reason itself inherent in the program? it was temporary. this wasn't permanent resettlement of people who wanted a better standard of living.

we've done that for a lot of people. but this specific program was to say your country is a disaster. you can come here until it's better. one-third of all salvadorans on planet earth now live in the united states. so there's been a massive resettlement here. why is it unfair to hold them to the standards we agreed on in the first place? >> well, two things, tucker. first, it's not a question of whether or not you can have a good reason to terminate it. the question is, did the government have such a reason here?ot so we know that there was a bipartisan proposal, republicans and democrats, that proposed to the president granting permanent residence to these people because they have lived here for so long. and he rejected that in this meeting where he made this comment -- i don't know if i'm allowed to say this. that they were from [bleep] countries. >> tucker: hold on. that's not relevant actually because none of that became law. so he had a conversation with someone. it didn't go through the congress. no executive orders were issued. so it's not really material to the statutes on the book now which describe a temporary program and you're saying that

it can't be temporary because why? >> it definitely can be temporary, tucker. our point is that once it's happened for a long time -- and some of our plaintiffs are not just immigrants, right? there's, like, the 14-year-old high school student born and raised in northern california, who's studying government, who's studying the constitution, and who knows that the due process clause protects persons and not just citizens.tu she now has to either leave the only country that she's ever known to go live with her parents in el salvador or her family has to broken apart. there's 100,000 other children -- >> tucker: well, can i just -- i mean, look. you're not going to surprise mee with stories about people suffering because a lot of. people are suffering, including millions of american citizens. and i feel sorry for all of them, immigrant and american alike. that's not really the question. the question is what's the best for the country? but the question also unresolved which you have not yet answered is, are they saying either that it was racist to describe their home countries as terrible places? or are they saying that theirac home countries are terrible

places and that's why they can't go back. you can't really say both, can you? >> no, i think the position in the lawsuit, and certainly if you look at the designation that supports this is that the justifications for granting temporary protected status to people from el salvador and haiti and sudan and nicaragua remain in place today. the countries continue to be -- >> tucker: no, no, no. but about -- so trump's comments, the ones that were reported, and we don't really know exactly what he said. but i'm willing to believe he said that, because it's true, by the way. a lot of these countries are hellholes. are you taking issue with that? are you saying that it's wrong to call haiti a hellhole, but no one here from haiti can be returned to haiti because it's a hellhole? i mean, will you just engage with that core thing? >> no. right, yeah, no, tucker.r. what the president has reported to have said is that we don't want people from these s-hole countries, and so it was an expression of animus against

them. it's not the only statement. i mean, the president has made many statements about, you know, everyone from haiti has aids. i don't want to go through them all. >> tucker: well, i don't know. i mean, one-third of -- okay, but who cares? why is that relevant? look, will you just engage with this fact? one-third of all salvadorans in the world live in the united states, so it's not like we have special animus toward salvadorans. a third of their entire population lives here. it's kind of hard to argue that we are racist against salvadorans, isn't it? >> no, no, it's not about thet fact -- in fact, america as ans whole is not racist against -- we have a long history of people from china after tiananmen square, from hungary back in the ' 50s and '60s after the problems there. people obviously from central america as well that we have allowed, welcomed to this country because of the problems that are existing in those countries. >> tucker: but 20 years is not temporary. >> exactly, exactly.

exactly, tucker, and if the government had ended this program, as they did -- >> tucker: [laughs] >> for example, with the ebola -- >> tucker: if we hadn't been so nice, we wouldn't be punished for it.hef wait, you just perfectly crystalized the whole problem with our country and western civilization itself. if we hadn't been so nice, we wouldn't be under attack now. we are being sued because we made the mistake of being kind to immigrants, that's what you're arguing. >> no, i think we've sued because when the government wants to tear a set of families apart -- we're talking about american children, school-aged children, it has to have very good reasons for doing that. >> tucker: but wait. >> we don't think the government has shown -- >> tucker: okay, if they're not s-hole countries, then it's not so terrible to go home. right, i get it. i'm sure they're nice. i just -- i think these are fair questions. we are out of time, ahilan, but thank you for coming on and explaining that. i appreciate it. the friendly skies are not so friendly for dogs. dogs are dying on airlines. not enough people care. we do care. we'll investigate that next.

♪ >> tucker: dogs are dying on commercial airlines. united airlines is apologizing after a flight attendant forcedt a woman to put her dog into an overhead bin and the dog suffocated there and died. meanwhile another family had its dog shipped to japan by mistake. it's not clear if this is a problem particular to united airlines, but the most recent statistics, they are responsible for three fourths of all dog deaths. mark steyn is an author and columnist and dog lover.r. cheryl is a former flight attendant and an anchor for fox business. cheryl, you were a flight attendant, can you imagine yourself telling a patron, agi customer to put a dog and an overhead bin? >> never in a million years would a flight attendant knowingly put anything living or breathing in an overhead bin.

you just don't do that. that is absolutely not what is happening. i do believe the flightth attendant did not hear that they were saying it was a dog. i don't think this flight attendant knew they were puttint a dog into an overhead bin. there is no circulation, there is no air in this overhead bin and i also don't think the flight crew heard the dog barking, even though passengers say that they did. >> tucker: i wonder why no one stood up and freed the dog, but that's a completely fair point. what does this tell us about air travel or dogs or american society? >> one of the lessons is that air travel is one of the most controlled environments in any free society. take for example what cheryl said, it might well be true that the flight attendant did not hear what the passenger was saying, that there was a dog in the carrier. and it might be true the flight attendant didn't hear any barking. then again you havehe to think

would you not hear the guy goin going, allahu akbar, not hearing the sound of him striking the match as he attempts to light his shoes. we have turned air travel into the most controlled environment in a free country. ol a result, and i don't absolving the flight attendant quite as thoroughly as cheryl does, but i think what's really disturbing here is the behavior of all the passengers, including the dog owners. no passenger -- i say this -- i get so annoyed about the story. i have a dog who is very sick and has required specialized treatment. in montreal and down in someplace in pennsylvania. the thought that if i carelessly made the mistake of flying to philadelphia, this could have happened to my beloved dog. it terrifies me. if you hear a dog in a compartment, you don't recorded on your cell phone. you don't tell a reporter afterwards that you heard

barking. you stand up like a freeborn citizen and you liberate that animal. >> and you risk being fined by the faa. wait a minute. interference with a flight crew is a federal offense. the fbi will be there at the end of the flight. >> tucker: let me ask you this and you may be entirely right, but you lived this and worked on an airline, do you really thinkd of a dog barks in the middle of a flight, someone stood up and said liberate a dog, the fbi would arrest that person? >> of course not. what i'm saying is the passengers are afraid. you are afraid of being arrested, you are afraid of ending up on video. look what happened with united and the doctor last year who was dragged off the plane. they also are responsible for the death of a pet rabbit.t. they have a horrible record with animals. 18 deaths last year of the 24 that were a reported in the entire industry were on united airlines planes. again, passengers are afraid because even the civil penaltiee could go up to $250,000. i think this mother and daughter

were scared to say anything. i think the passengers were as well. a >> that's why we have to end this. we are training human beings. we are training freeborn citizens to behave like domestic pets. docile and spayed because we're frightened that if we point out there is a dog in the overhead bin, then will be dragged off in manacles. at a certain point, this is the post 9/11 environment. as a result of which, we still let in guys who runs on people on the new york bike path and blow up christmas parties inle o san bernardino, but we shuffle shoeless like animals, if you see someone without shoes in public, it's an animal. we have turned ourselves into. animals in this post-9/11 environment.

>> tucker: that's so true. cheryl, really quickly, how does an airline send a dog to japan? >> united criticized someone today because they got two docs - dogs mixed up. it happened on the tarmac at denver when the dogs were taken off the plane. that dog went to japan and set of going to kansas city. that dog is being flown first class to united states by united. their record is not good. >> tucker: think you both. that was great. time for final exam. have you been paying attention to all the news this week? pit yourself against our experts to find out. that's coming up next.

>> tucker: support for overt racial discrimination on the left is rising by the day. it's basically universal by now, though hardly anyone ever says anything about it just yesterday, chloe angel, huff post editor, bragged that the company accepts or rejects writers based their skin color rather than what they write. she tweeted this. our goals for this month were less thann 50% white authors, check, asian representation that maxes or exceeds the u.s. population, check. trans and nonbinary authors, check, but i want to do better. chloe wants to do better. larry elders radio hostla and we man and he joins us tonight. i didn't think that people were

supposed to talk this way. i didn't think anyone wanted to live in a country where you're judged exclusively on factors you can't control.n' how did we get here? >> that's a good question, because i thought the get was the p color-blind society that people were based on the content of their character not the color of their skin. i guess that's not the case when it comes to the left. this woman who t said they met l their diversity goals, i understand she's a white female. does that mean she's willing to step down for a better qualified woman of color? >> it's never the case. the people implementing this are almost if my experience exclusively white or put themselfel in that same category that won't give up their overpaid low-work jobs to help anyone else. i think it's misleading to say this is just like huff po is the joke obviously or the left that is discredited. this is like universal and corporate america. securely academia. >> i don't want to get into an
