>> martha: thanks for watching tonight. that's our story for this event, we'll see you back here tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. let's go to d.c. where tucker carlson is ready to go. ♪ >> tucker: this is a fox news alert, a bomber is terrorizing the state of texas. a fifth bomb has gone off in a suburb of san antonio, texas. that follows for other explosions and in austin. on tucker carlson, welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we are joined by kate steagall who is in austin >> this just in from the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms and explosives, the suspicious package that was found at this fedex distribution center back here right next to austin airport, it contained a bomb and

police detonated it today. right before this program began, it was said that the exploded package outside of san antonio did in fact happen, but no serious injuries. that was explosion number five. first was march 2nd, that's when this all started in east austin. let's show you a map to give you some context. the first one march 2nd in east austin, ten days later, two blasts in a single day. all three of those were unidentified packages left on someone's front doorstep containing bombs. two people died and two were critically hurt with those. then sunday night, explosion number four, southwest austin. police say that device was planted near a fence and ed was armed with a tripwire that was activated by two guys going by on their bicycles. that was more advanced police say than the previous three and that's when the real sense of

urgency kicked in and it's even more urgent tonight, now learning that the delivery methods have changed and they've made their way to these distribution centers. a lot of fluid information, we'll keep you posted from austin tonight. tucker? >> tucker: as you can see, we are trying to sort out those basic facts of this and as we are, the usual forces of division have tried to turn this into some kind of identity politics forum. members of congress immediately demanded that the white house classify these killings as domestic terrorism, they suggested they were racial motivations. we don't know that. we don't know very much at all at this point. here are a few of the unanswered questions still out there. first of all, who is doing this? we have no name, no face, not even a grainy photograph or police sketch of a suspect. the attacker or attackers remain totally mysterious. we're not even sure if it's a single person, it could be

several, it could be an organized effort by a terror group. it could possibly be one bomb was a copycat. what's the motive? no notes have surfaced, no manifesto, to please think there's a pattern to the attacks? the first two bombs went to black families in austin, the third bomb was sent to a hispanic woman. police say that bomb was addressed to somebody else. who was that question what does she have anything in common with the first two people? what about the bottom of the fedex facility today? were they addressed to? the targets today were white. motives in this case tend to be impossible to guess without evidence, that doesn't stop people from trying. remember the unabomber was waging a one-man war against the industrial revolution. that's not something fbi profilers surmised or did and

what do the bombs themselves tell us? is there a pattern to their design? do they bear any resemblance to ieds used in the middle east? last and more important, how close are pleased to catching whoever is doing this? the fedex turned over an unexploded bomb to police and police believe they know where the bombs were sent from. will that lead anywhere? we don't know. all these questions, need to be answered in order to understand the attacks and whether there are broader implications for the rest of us. for now, it seems wiser to focus on answers rather than reaching conclusions on to put a by evidence. buck sexton joins us tonight. is there anything we know so far that arranges itself into a pattern for you? >> no, the forensic analysis will be critical and that's why having an unexploded bomb would be particularly useful here because any time for dealing with a bond that's detonated, you can lose some of the most important information you could

get. people often think of fingerprint, that's not what you'll find. people use gloves when they're building a bomb, but dna is much harder. some of that will be burned off once the device goes, but sometimes it won't be. if they have an intact device, maybe you'll get your first real break in this case. >> tucker: you were trained and explosives during your career, you often hear that a bomb has been detonated in some contained space, is the bomb photographed or measured or in other ways examined before it i is? >> absolutely. it depends. if they're worried about the bomb being a threat to public safety, phil detonated first to make sure that there's no loss of life or injury an end it contained space afterwards, they can piece by piece put it together and look at everything. and a case where the tripwire was the activating device, they're going to have fragments and shrapnel, so the forensic analysis will take a longer time, but when they're detonating and deciding to set it off before i can do any harm,

then it would be an enclosed space and go through whatever procedure they need to. no one wants to get hurt first and foremost. >> tucker: are we sure these bombs are connected to each other? the first two were placed come out the third was a tripwire with suggest that it was placed as well and the bombs that fedex were reporting was sent, so would that be the same person? >> and suggests that assuming it's one person as you mentioned, it may be a group with various tactics, techniques, and procedures and also to increase the fear. this is about a campaign of terror of one kind or another. i might be a madman who has a personal grudge against the state, the government, who knows? it could be somebody who has a more specific political manifesto. by changing things up, it makes things harder for law enforcement to track a pattern and that seems to be a part of the additional planning here which by the way, just the

increase in sophistication of devices makes it seem like we might be dealing with somebody who is really plan this out and they have prior experience with explosives and will continue this for the foreseeable future until he is caught. >> tucker: and is taking risks by placing these. thank you. mark steyn is an author and columnist. he joins us. what you make of this? >> it's interesting to me because as buck was saying, there's three different methods this guy has used if it's the same guy, the fedex aspect of it is interesting to me because one always gets the impression with fedex, the bar codes, the information you have to supply, that they know every aspect of that package from the moment you enter the facility with it as it proceeds to where it's going and as is delivered to whoever the

recipient is. that is not in fact the case, they apparently have no way of looking up their bar codes, looking at the times, and actually identifying who put this thing in the system. that's quite revealing in an age where if you write a handwritten birthday card to your granny and ticket to to the post office, the united states postal service was is actually a cutting edge business actually films that and keeps a photographic record of your handwritten birthday card. there are aspects about this and the state and somebody is identifying some quite useful holes. >> tucker: the whole points of the surveillance statement as to prevent things like this in the first place, isn't it? >> i think that's true, but what's actually happening is it's becoming a bit like

overlapping area codes. when the old area code gets filled up and they introduce a new area code over the same geographical area. i think we are moving to a world where we have two groups of people inhabiting the same real estate. you have people who are monitored incessantly so as we saw in london, people can fly in and an american lady with no criminal record can fly into the other side of the world, land at luton airport in london and the government will deport her because of something she set on social media. everything is known about her. at the same time, you have people like the las vegas bomber who lived a life that left no footprint, so six months after that attack, we actually know as little about him and his motivations as we did on the night it happened. at least two groups of people --

a good name for the second group of people, if it hadn't been taken by illegal immigrants would be undocumented. every aspect of law-abiding citizens are well documented up the wild zoo and then you have this other group of people who manage to find all the shadows and the pockets and move about unseen and unknown and there's going to be more of that in the future. >> tucker: it's setting up perverse incentives against a participating in legitimate ways in society it seems to me. >> that's right. i think you're going to have people and by the way, just to throw in the third example, it was a guy who had a big social media presence, but it's almost as if, the more we leave clues on facebook and twitter and instagram, as in the case of nicholas cruz, nobody actually pays any attention to what he's doing in front of her nose, so

we monitor people social media behavior more than we monitor what they're doing when we are in the same room as them. >> tucker: of course there are thousands of potentially dangerous crazy people living on our streets and we ignore them. thank you, great to see you tonight. republicans control both houses of congress and they're about to pass a huge spending bill. what does that bill reflect? democratic priorities versus republican? will put that question to a republican congressman next. ♪ lief when allergies occur. day after day, after day. because life should have more wishes and less worries. feel the clarity and live claritin clear. ♪ get outta my dreams ♪ get into my car ♪ get into my car ♪ ♪ get outta... applebee's to go. order online and get $10 off $30.

>> tucker: the federal government is said to shut down friday of this week unless congress can pass a spending bill. republicans in congress seem like they're about to do that. they say they are, so what's in the deal? probably not a lot of what you voted for in 2016 per the final bill is expected to spend $1.3 trillion, that will dramatically increase the deficit. when it won't do is provide a single dollar for the border wall, even though the president got elected, as you may remember, on a pledge to build one. that will not pull funding from century cities even though those said will use our acting to sabotage, even on a spending bill would continue to give hundreds of millions of tax dollars to planned parenthood whose director spoke at the democratic convention. meanwhile, the priorities of this congress seem to be met by the democratic party rather than a party supposedly in charge. democrats define the immigration debate since day one, and other during the cement gun control.

how should republican voters feel about all of this? brit hume has watched a lot of this. is there a concern that republican voters will look at this and be disappointed or will they be so afraid of democrats that they'll be motivated to vote anyway? >> i'm not sure that's quite the choice. i'm sure republican voters will be disappointed with this, but this is a very familiar pattern we are seeing and it comes down to this, it's a question of narrow majorities. the united states senate today, the republican party has the narrowest of majorities and on most legislative measures, it takes 60 votes, that means you need democrats. democrats when it comes to a big measure like this, are going to stand by their planned parenthood, bill try their best to get the daca measure renewed, they're not going to get that by the way in this bill, but the president is not going to get his border wall funding either,

so there you go. this is what happens with a narrow majority. if the republicans had healthy majorities in both houses, they would be able to pass a bill that would contain all the priorities you cited and others as well and the democrats couldn't do a thing about it. under these circumstances, they can't do that because they don't have the votes. >> tucker: it's clear they can't, but i wonder going into it if there wasn't overpromisin overpromising. if people's expectations aren't met, if someone says they'll buy you a pony for christmas and new get a bag of hair, why can't they deliver? >> on the course of an election campaign, you don't know how the election will turn out, you come out and you say this is what i'm for, this is what i'm going to be trying to do. of course that gets translated to this is what i will do. believe me, there are democratic representatives and senators all over this country who went out and promised all kinds of things

that they're not going to get either. that's how it is one government is divided like this, very narrowly and it's not a pretty sight. it used to be back in the day, it's been a long time since i've seen it work this way when there would be a series of funding bills that would be debated and voted on and then the two houses would get together and they would try to resolve their differences and there was a lot of bipartisan sentiment and everyday would give a little to get a little. in this divided atmosphere, congress is a reflection of the country. we have a very deeply divided nation and the gridlock that you're seeing the least of this kind of extravaganza, $1.3 trillion as a result of that. >> tucker: you said democrats stand by their sacred cows, what are those? one of the things they won't compromise on? >> one thing is a significant increase in defense spending which they wanted for a long time.

they had to swallow some increases in domestic spending they may not have wanted, but they're going to get that and obviously, they got their tax bill passed and that will leave under undisturbed. one of the great priorities that has defined the republican party going back a number of cycles has been the desire to get into the entitlement spending and reduce that because that is a big driver of these staggering deficits in the national debt that we now face. we have a president now who is not for that. without that, you have no momentum behind that. there are plenty of republican priorities on this bill, no doubt about it. i can't enumerate them all, but anything this big, they're bound to be. remember this about this bill, it's subject to the same thing

build bills always are. big bills have to pay. people are going to try to attach whatever they've got to that bill because they know it's going to get past. you get all kinds of ugly ornaments hanging onto these things. a lot of them get stripped out, but a lot get through. >> tucker: some ugly ornaments come out guilty what they are. thank you for that. congressman steve king is in the congress right now, he is republican from a state of iowa and he joins us tonight. congressman, britt wisely said the two things republicans care about, the tax cuts in military spending. that's what they cared about in 1986. those are long-standing priorities, the selection set a new agenda i would say. the voters aren't getting any of the things that they thought they were going to get in 2016. why is that?

>> i'm disappointed by it too. it's hard to imagine how we listen to a president campaign for all of those months and lay out a clear message, build a wall, and century cities, enforce immigration law, tighten up the law and daca and it looks like none of that is going to be served up to this bill. >> tucker: whose fault is that that? >> part of it is the democrats and then there's the element of the anti-truckers who want to deny president trump the results of the fruits of his electoral victory and we've got some people are more establishment than they are conservatives and they really didn't want to say no to illegal immigrants in america. i hear it inside our conference, they'll argue for them and say they came here through no fault of their own and we need to give them a pass and a path to citizenship and that destroys the rule of law. for me, it's always been about restoring the rule of law, not

destroying the rule of law. >> tucker: planned parenthood does zero mammograms. they provide more abortions than anybody in america and their campaigning for democrats. why should taxpayers give them half a billion dollars a year and why do know republicans ever push back against that? >> it's completely and utterly foolish for a public and to continue to fund planned parenthood. just the pushback from the democrats, by the way, several months ago when this issue was before us, i had a democrat who happens to be a member of the congressional black caucus and a pastor, i told him i wanted to defund planned parenthood and i would draw the line. he said he's going to shut the government down if we don't fund planned parenthood and he is a pastor. >> tucker: leaving aside the central question of abortion, if the democratic party gets them to take half a billion in

taxpayer funds to pay for its adjunct planned parenthood, our pushing for half a billion for nra? how does that work? why do taxpayers get to fund their campaign? >> there's a certain element that's afraid of planned parenthood lobby and capacity. the more funds we put in there, the stronger they can lobby, but you're right. about 350,000 abortions a year are planned parenthood, they do zero mammograms and their drawing down half a billion dollars a year. i think it was joni ernst and who said if we can't defund planned parenthood, shame on us. i would be willing to shut the government down to defund planned parenthood. i wouldn't do it alone. i would say let's find out what the make and people want. if they are determined that we should borrow money from china in order to fund abortions in america, the let's find out. >> tucker: let's at least have a conversation.

congressman king, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for joining having m. >> tucker: it looks like a fifth bomb blast may have just hit austin, texas. police are responding to another package explosion. a building is being evacuated. the overall severity of that blast is not known, we are following this as close as we can. we're bringing the details as we get them. 50 years ago, a college student campaign for free speech, never saying something called diversity is more important than the first amendment. what does that mean and where is it going? and coulter joins us next.

[heartbeat] >> tucker: for centuries, freedom of speech has been america's signature right, that's what sets us apart from other countries, even relatively free countries. certainly the rest of europe and canada, but college students are interested in all. a new survey by gallup finds that 53% of college students say having a diverse and inclusive society is more important than protecting free speech. and coulter is an author and columnist and a hawk on free speech. thanks for visiting with us. you can't have a diverse of an inclusive country and keep the first amendment? >> of course you can come out we've had it for a few hundred years. what was strange about this survey, which i noticed

immediately when it landed in my inbox, it was odd that "the new york times" presented it as well, we've covered all the bases, the only breakdown in age, breakdowns in political party, the only ethnic breakdown was black-and-white americans. did they think we're living in the 1950s? what is striking is this is of course, another problem of immigration. hispanics and asians, overwhelmingly, whether it's the research center, all kinds of surveys done over the years, show that white and black americans overwhelmingly support both free speech and gun rights and you have almost the reverse percentages with immigrants. this idea that people come to our country and suddenly think, i understand, you have a right to speak even if i disagree with you and even if your quoting the

prophet mohammed, doesn't work that way. what you're seeing at places like berkeley, asian students alone are 46%, that's more than black and white americans combined. that's why you're getting the biggest attacks on free speech at places like berkeley. >> tucker: so it's not a left right thing as much as it is a new arrival versus born hear a thing, why wouldn't we doing everything we can to inculcate our beliefs and understandings of our rights and constitution of people who just got here? >> even among 11th generation americans, these people called liberals and their as opposed to our fundamental freedoms as the newcomers are. the aclu has been surprisingly staunch on the issue of free speech, losing a lot of their donors i might add.

you would think that the aclu would have an opinion on the importation of people adamantly opposed to the mission statement in their charter. we are looking at the death of america is a fundamental freedoms as you said in your introduction, even england doesn't have free speech. for america, both first amendment and second amendment as this new generation of non-americans. >> tucker: why are incorporations embedding this? kroger announced they would no longer stock magazines of images with assault weapons, scary looking guns are no longer allowed and photographs and kroger. since when are companies sort of piling on speech restrictions here? >> it's been at least since trump has come along, may be before then, but i return to my

refrain, i don't care what your opinion is on free speech or guns or anything else, but please stop pretending you're a rebel, please stop attending or fighting the man when you are lockstep with corporate america. these new radicals we have, the resistance, they'll check with corporate america, apple and twitter, facebook and their professors to ask if they can wear a question authority t-shirt. would that be okay? >> tucker: has there ever been a more obedient cadre of robots than college students? is anyone brave? is anybody giving the finger to the man and speaking the truth? where are those people? what happened? >> the good news is, i'm following a lot of them on twitter. i get the impression that we are creating, the left is creating without realizing it, this really hilarious and ferocious

generation of right-wingers, these college students, their listening to white privilege all day, every moment of every day, white heterosexual men are emerging from college working at the moon right-wingers. they're fun to follow on twitte twitter. >> tucker: and coulter, thank you. massive marches against gun rights are planned for this weekend, why isn't anybody marching against the state and authorities that enabled the massacre we are commemorating? of elements about story next yo't only belong to you. child: bye, grandpa! and if you have heart failure, entrusting your heart to entresto may help. entresto is a heart failure medicine that helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body.

law enforcement as they should because nick was cruise was only able to carry out that massacre because both police ignored warnings about his behavior and coward and fury during the shooting itself. meanwhile, a high school in maryland today, potential mass shooting was halted when a resource officer confronted to students. professor, thanks for coming on. i understand people have different opinions about the second amendment, how far its protections extend, what gun control laws work and what don't, but you can't look at the massacre that we commemorated this weekend and come away not concluding that the problem was the laws in place were not enforced, someone who is clearly a threat and known to be a threat was ignored, was allowed to buy a gun and the police on the team did nothing to stop the massacre, that's all factual. it's being ignored in favor of

the attack on the nra. why is that? >> personally, of pro responsible gun ownership and pro-gun control. the problem is we frame this argument as those two things can't coexist. as far as nicholas cruz, i think some of the things you are saying are correct. when we talk about this new situation, someone who was a good kid, had no problems, respectful, and honor student, but had access to a gun. >> tucker: there are millions of students who meet the description who don't hurt anybody. in the case of nicholas cruz -- >> should millions of young children -- >> there are millions in american homes where people safely keep firearms. >> tucker: kids hunt in rural america and in some places, they

bring rifles to school during deer season. this is been going on for generations. that's the truth of it. the point is, here you have someone with mental illness who should not legally have been allowed to buy a gun, but was because the authorities ignored it. if you really care about stopping school shootings, why are we ignoring that? i'm honestly confused. >> i understand what you're saying, i think one of the issues is the fact that he was 19 years old and was able to buy a pistol. i think that's a problem. >> tucker: again, he wasn't legally allowed to buy and a gun because he was mentally ill and known to be mentally ill. he was a subject of scores -- >> we're not going to disagree here. >> tucker: this is an actual massacre in which 70 people died. nobody on the left is saying anything. they're protecting the people who failed by not calling them

on their failures. in favor of making statements that the nra which was not involved. >> what they're trying to do is cover all bases. i think what they're saying is it's wrong on the part of law enforcement. like i said, with young rollins today, he was not summary that the fbi or law enforcement could have picked up on. the neighbors have said -- >> tucker: it just happened. very quickly, this is the question i wanted to ask. it's a simple question. what specific law are we calling for? >> i think there's many things. they're calling for a raise in the age limit. we have a kid he was 18 or 19 -- >> tucker: call to bump stop.

>> i haven't finished. we have kids who are not mature enough to take a drink of alcohol, but we're willing to give them a deadly weapon. >> tucker: do you really believe that to ban bump stocks and raise the age to 21, do you think we would end school shootings? >> i think we would limit some of those. i believe that. when we look at nicholas cruz -- >> tucker: he was not allowed to buy a gun, but the authorities because they didn't want to add -- >> if you were 21, he would not have been able to get into that school. >> tucker: he wasn't allowed to buy a gun in the first place under existing law, but the people in charge didn't feel like enforcing it. >> we are not disagreeing. i can tell you, said she wanted to bring up bump stocks, you

bring up bump stocks, a lot of people in las vegas, we are talking about gun violence, a lot of people would have still been alive. >> tucker: up bump stock makes it impossible to hit anything. we don't know what percentage of people were killed. it's a ridiculous device that makes the gun impossible to control. >> he wasn't sniping people, he was going and shooting -- >> tucker: we're not addressing the real issues. >> i think there are some issues that you are correct that we need to do a better job of enforcing, but we also look at gun violence generally, we can look at somewhere like alaska which has the highest rate of gun violence, gun deaths per capita and you don't need a permit to buy weapons. >> tucker: it's suicide that's alaska's problem.

>> tucker: this is a fox news alert, a sixth bomb blast appears to have hit austin, texas. police and firefighters are responding right now to a

reported package explosion in the south part of the city. at least one person reportedly is hurt, will supply further details the second they come in. austin police have shut down a city street and another part of town over suspicious package apparently it's in an apartment building. what do we know about the explosives that have been used in this bomb? johnny joey jones joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. from what we know publicly about these bombs, what does that add up to from what you've been tol told? >> it's really hard right now. i think what the police are showing and asking the public for information is very genuine and telling. i say very connected to the bomb tech community and there's not a lot of information out there, so the police are keeping whatever they have pretty tight-lipped. take the one tripwire or coastline or whatever you call it aside, everything else is

consistent and a sense that it's put into a package and either placed or shipped, so that's the one consistent thing other than the area that we have to go on. there's enough information on a type of explosive or how they're wired up and set off for us to make any kind of assumption or presumption on where they're coming from. i can see certain circuits and say, iraq, afghanistan, tele band, isis or i can see a pipe bomb at the domestic homegrown. right now, we don't have enough of that information to know. >> tucker: we've heard the bombs as increasingly sophisticated and that was particularly applied to the bombs detonated with a tripwire. without giving anything away, give us some perspective, is that a sophisticated device? >> that's really simple. if you think of a close line or your clothespin and put a piece

of rubber or wood in between it, then you run a wire from that, you trip over that, and that spring pulls it down. it's really, really simple. the point being, what we are seeing today with someone shipping a package, that takes a lot of those. everything i've heard up until last night seemed like pretty simple mechanical engineering. you can use a washing machine time or she can get away, really quick and what we call surefire technique. to put something in the mail, to have it thrown around, put in a truck, on a conveyor belt before it goes off, that's something much more sophisticated and quite honestly, much scarier. >> tucker: does it suggest a different kinds of explosives? >> no. there's two types of science, there is the chemistry and the explosive. that can be binary like aluminum power and another ingredient i won't say, but you can get it,

or it can be chemistry intensive, so that's one part of the science and the other part is electric circuitry or mechanical circuitry and those two are very different, but can stand the same way. for example, the first bomb they said with a lady opened it, it exploded. that could just be a hook pattern that comes together or to be something really complex like a photocell that allows the current to go through when light hits it. there's a rudimentary way for those bombs, but something is put into the mail and shipped around, you have to believe it's a little bit more sophisticated than that and that's concerning. that doesn't say much for the chemistry of the explosive at all. >> tucker: certain groups build certain kinds of bombs, is that correct? >> to an extent. if you think about it, there's a certain amount of infrastructure

and they can do things a little trickier. use cell phones, use ir sensors, but it's a cat and game mouse trap read the more you at to it, the more will go wrong. when we move over to afghanistan in 2009 where there were hundreds of dozens of ieds, it's real simple. it's like a loose circuit on your flashlight. it's a little bit easier to defeat once you find it, but it's also a lot more reliable. those of the two types of bombs we saw in iraq and afghanistan. bring it home, a lot of what we see here are pipe bombs which means you light it and it burns until it blows up like wile e. coyote. what we are seeing here today are electronically initiated which is a lot harder to accomplish and if there's one specific piece i won't talk about too much that's really hard to make it home or hard to get a hold of. everything else is very common. >> tucker: obviously those are complete we different categories. thank you for that, that was really interesting.

on it. a police heavy activity in the area right now. we have us push back far because it's a fluid and dangerous situation. they want to keep everyone including public who is gathering to take pictures and see this for themselves. they want to keep them safe. we know it was at a goodwill. whether it was inside, outside, that's unclear at this point. we know it was a goodwill. when the dispatch call went out, we matched the address. and my producer contacted goodwill locally and she was upset. one person is injured. it's not life threatening. that's the latest as police are dealing with a sixth bombing tonight in texas' capitol city, tucker. >> tucker: shocking. casey, thanks. i appreciate it. well, that's about it for us tonight. it's been a terrifying night in austin, texas. during this broadcast five bombs

drew to six. police have recovered an explosive and working with more than 300 federal agents to crack the case. obviously we'll cover every development in this breaking story. breaking news continues next on "hannity". >> neil: thanks, tucker. this is a fox news alert. austin on edge again this hour. we start with breaking news tonight. by the way, my monologue will be coming up later in the show. austin, texas on high alert yet again after police are responding to what is now a sixth explosion that has left one person injured again. this explosion comes after authorities earlier this evening confirmed that two package bombs today at fed ex facilities in austin an near san antonio are linked to four other attacks that have taken place this month. these attacks have prompted a massive man hunt to find out who the authorities are describing as a serial bomber. joinin
