>> i don't know why we thought of you when we thought of artificial intelligence. >> good one. >> that's the story. "the story" is tomorrow night. tucker is next. >> tucker: good evening. welcome to tucker carlson. hurricane michael is on shore pounding parts of florida and georgia. it hit the panhandle as a strong category four hurricane. it's a dangerous storm. more dangerous than we realized. camera crews getting a close look at the damage it has done. we'll show that to you in just a minute. first, to the political and media news. there's a lot of it. you may have noticed the remarkable similarities between the democratic party's daily talking points and a lot of the political coverage that you see from news outlets.

often these two things are identical. even the fabled rockettes at radio city music hall are not as in sync. here's a question of angry left wing mobs. they're everywhere right now. they're yelling at republicans in restaurants and airports, pounding on the front doors of the supreme court. they're blocking intersections, threatening passersby on the street. this is the youth wing of the democratic party. if the democratic party's position is they do not exist, there's no mobs. ignore your lying eyes. not surprisingly the media is saying exactly the same thing. watch this orwellian exchange from cnn yesterday. >> when you see people like ted cruz getting chased out of restaurants by a mob -- >> you're not going to use the mob word here. >> it's totally a mob. it's without a doubt. there's no other word for it.

>> mad. a mob? stop, stop. >> tucker: so a mob is not a mob because the word mob is not allowed on television anymore. but wait. aren't journalists supposed to be the champions of clear language? not when euphemism better serves their political goals. if banning words helps the democratic party, they're doing it. cnn did the same segment later in the day, repetition being the heart of propaganda. watch it again. >> is it mob behavior? >> no. >> thank you. >> it's people upset and angry with the way the country is going and the policy. in the constitution, you can protest whenever and wherever you want. doesn't tell you you can't do it in a restaurant or on a football field or doesn't tell you you can't do it on a cable news show. you can do it wherever you want.

to call people mobs is beyond the pale. >> tucker: did you hear that? what happened to ted cruz is not mob behavior. by the way, it's beyond the pale for you to suggest otherwise. what happened to cruz is not so different from the love-ins that you seen in the documentaries about the 1960s. women in indian parent dresses passing ott flowers to soldiers. we have the cruz tape. watch. >> tucker: okay. it wasn't as restrained or calm as we remembered. so let's pause for a second and consider how this story could be told differently. same facts, different spin. a senator named rafael cruz is having dinner with his wife in washington. a group of screaming predominantly white political activists surround the couple and yell at them until they leave the building that actually happened. let's say this hypothetical

rafael cruz was a liberal democrat and not a republican from texas. you think don lemon and his cnn people would call it a protest? or could the world mob come up and white supremacy and nazi? what you think about that? this is not the first time we've seen this variety of dishonesty. it was don lemon that just last august came rushing to the defense of the emerging democratic constituency, antifa. >> it says it in the name, antifa, anti-fashism. there were reasons for these antifa and neo-nazis to be there. one, racist, fascist, the other group fighting racist fascist. there's a distinction there. >> tucker: yeah, dumbo. anti-fascist. it's in the name. there's a distinction there.

just as there was a distinction with ferguson, baltimore and other cities that have gone up in flames. it wasn't a riot. it was a protest. at least eric holder brave enough to speak the truth without euphemism. holder isn't some dopey cnn anchor taking orders from his superiors. he's the former attorney general of the united states. the chief law enforcement officer. holder doesn't need to pretend a mob isn't a mob. he's running for president as a democrat. his job is to assemble mobs and send them out on the democratic party. that's what he did today. watch this. >> michelle says when they go low, we go high. no. when they go low, we kick them. >> tucker: kick them! yeah. why not shoot them or burn them? good question. why not? the former attorney general has

given his permission to get physical. don't be surprised when they obey. rob is an attorney. he joins us on the set. thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> tucker: so kick them, says the former chief law enforcement officer of the united states. >> he's a desperate person running for president in 2020 that doesn't have a good chance of winning. instead of concentrating of the radical statements on the far fringes of political society, let's look at the people in the middle that are not interested in antifa, mobbing or rioting or looting and want better health care and education and a political system that works, this is the response for trump where democrats need to fight back. they want a boxer in there to box with trump. what we need is somebody that as george bush said a uniter, not a divider. >> tucker: i couldn't agree with you more. the 90% that thinks this is distraction is the people we're trying to appeal to. i agree with you completely.

i disagree when you describe eric holder, the former attorney general as a fringe political character. he's at the center of our establishment. he lived in my neighborhood. he's the former attorney gen ram. this is not some cortez woman from brooklyn. this is eric holder. >> what we saw in the senate hearings were senators wanting to make a name for themselves. we sick eric holder trying to get in the 2020 race. michael avenatti running around to get into the 2020 race. instead of fringe candidates, let's look at people that have actual plans, that have actual policy proposals that will help middle class people. >> tucker: i agree. >> you live in a neighborhood of eric holder. i live in georgia where we don't have the far people that you grow up together, you watch sec football, you go hunting and fishing and drink beer and you end up on different sides of the political aisle but you have places in the middle where you agree. the problem is we take the more fast left person and the most far right person and say they

represent most america. >> tucker: i literally couldn't -- i'm surprised i'm saying this. i couldn't agree with you more. my concern is that we're entering a vortex where you do have meme encouraging violence. the former attorney general just did on camera. once that begins, it's almost impossible for people to think clearly. people are getting radical. surrounding people, making them leave restaurants -- i've never seen anything like that in 49 years here. >> you have to have conversations across enemy lines. i -- >> tucker: of course, i couldn't agree more. but shouldn't someone who has moral authority in the eyes of people to pay attention to politics, how about barack obama who i'm employed this guy for years and said kick people? what? no. stop that talk. what is this? >> he even quoted michelle bomb who said when you go low, you go high. >> tucker: it's a fair question. where are the obamas?

>> that is where the majority of voters are at. most voters don't want to be out here fighting random nazis --? i agree completely. >> you have to have president trump giving leadership, not saying drag the sob off the field. let's have a civil conversation on both sides. >> tucker: i couldn't agree more. and i hate that talk no matter where it comes from. but right now, you had the clearest possible example of it and a clear solution. so i didn't care for president obama's policies at all. i thought they hurt the country. personally he's revered by a lot of americans to this day. so is his wife. they could stand up and say we like eric holder but we want to be totally clear that violence is never an acceptable option in the united states as a way to express political differences. that might prevent what i see coming and you see coming that is being spurred off by people like that. >> if you look at the history of 19th century europe, you saw the same political rhetoric.

nationalism. people retreating to their corners, demonizing the people on the other side. instead of doing that, the former first president and the former first lady do want to put their finger on the scale. you'll see that from the voters in the early primary states -- >> tucker: and i hope you're right. i think the democrats are hurting themselves. if they made a middle class economic argument, they would rule forever. anybody that does that wins. hasn't occurred. let's stop this from going to crazy town. >> like i said, what people have to do is go to the outside of the echo chamber. tucker, let's take this show and do it at an hbcu. in the middle of chicago or -- >> tucker: this is the only show that invites people to make a counter case. i believe in that as a core belief. i mean it. obviously i mean it.

i'm worried that we're moving towards violence. that is the worst thing always. >> we have to have these conversations where people can agree on things and handle that first. >> tucker: i agree with you. thanks very much. >> thank you. >> tucker: and are you as worried as i am about where this is going? >> tucker, good to be with you. i am. i share the same concerns that you do. i agreed with your guest as well. it does seem that common ground is really difficult to be found lately. any attempt to find any common ground is immediately attacked by those fringes. the thing that i keep hearing so much so often from individuals who are on the left is a way to justify this, they position their defense of antifa or some of these mobs and that's what they were, mobs chasing the cruzes out of a restaurant and mobs that are doxing republican

senators and their families. they say trump says this or trump says that, which we all agree, we need to be able to have civil conversation. i can remember in the tea party rallies where we would be anywhere with people bringing portable coolers full of juice boxes and lawn chairs. we were all completely derited. we were called every name in the book. this didn't start with the trump administration. >> tucker: no, it didn't and yet we're at a new place, a place that i don't think we've been in 50 years anyway at least. >> i agree. >> tucker: we're on the cusp of something horrible. there's widely respected people in this country. i don't see my job of ginning up partisan rage. where are the people on the left making that -- there are responsible people on the left.

why are they cowardly and can't speak up now? >> true. heidi heitkamp is one of them. she condemned hillary clinton when hillary clinton said that they're not going to be civil so long as they don't have power. there needs to be more like heidi heitkamp. i wonder if it's not too late. i sincerely hope it's not. i hope we can get back to a place where we can exchange ideas. i feel like, you know -- you called them the other night these individuals out there, the antifa and what we saw in portland shock troops. that's a great way to put it. normally it's always been the party establishment, the leadership that has jerked on the leash of the shock troops. they use them to get voter turnout. it's a tactic. we see it every election. don't you think it's going the other way now? the shock troops are jerking the leash of -- >> tucker: this is way it happens. you think you're using the energy of the crazies to achieve your goals. you wake up and the crazies are defining your agenda for you.

they're in charge. it's always the same. dana, thank you for that. >> thank you. good to see you, tucker. >> tucker: want to tell you about hurricane michael, which turned out to be a little bigger than many predicted. it's on shore and it's ravaging northwest florida. will nundley is in panama city. what is it like, will? >> even though the hurricane long made landfall, we have a relentless wind. as we have begun to survey damage, this by and large is what we're seeing. panama city beach has escape add lot of major damage. there's still damage to speak of. we've seen roofs off of buildings and siding and facade damage. cell service very spotty. a lot of damage to cell towers and communication towers. power is out for us on the front beach road. a strict curfew in place. we've seen bay county authorities making patrols.

if anybody is caught out past dark, right now they'll be arrested on site. they're trying to curb looting before it's a problem. we have a sustained win. the rain has backed off. there's a tedious process of going street by street and making sure the debris is out of the road, crews can access who they need to reach and everybody is okay. back to you. >> tucker: thanks, will. the storm came out of nowhere. stay with fox for more coverage of hurricane michael and what it's doing to the southeastern united states. we'll check in on other areas later in the hour. democrats have tried a new tact attacking people for the color of their skin. now they're attacking u.s. institutions as bigoted too. why are they doing that? dana perino joins us to explain after the break.

slavery. doesn't make sense. why? what is the point of this? dana perino pays very close attention in between hosting "the daily briefing" and appearing on "the five." dana, this comes out of nowhere. now everybody is against the electoral college. why? >> it comes in cycles. the last time i really remember hearing a lot about it was after the election of 2000 with democrats very bitter. look, some ways understandably, right? >> tucker: i agree. >> it came down to the recount. the supreme court makes that decision. you hear the drum beat, the democrats saying this is not fair to us. we win the popular vote. therefore, we should win the presidency. doesn't that make sense? that's the way it should be. >> tucker: wait a second. i didn't -- i'm not that hold. i covered bottle of bill clinton's campaigns. he never won the popular vote. >> you can blame ross perot for that, if you were -- >> tucker: for sure.

that's true. that's what happened, of course. ross perot, third-party candidate. but still you had a guy that didn't win the majority and considered me as a legitimate president. why did that change? >> what you're seeing, president trump won the electoral college. didn't win the popular vote. hillary clinton repeats that she won the popular vote. that's not the contest. that's not the game. you have to win the electoral college. president trump went to states like wisconsin, michigan, wisconsin being the biggest. had hillary clinton played the game a different way, if she tried to win the electoral college and the popular vote -- the thing is the founders really wanted our country to be a federalist system. they wanted the states to be diverse. they did give slightly more power to the smaller states, but they generally favored the more popular states. democrats see going forward, california, new york, florida,

all of these big states making the decisions that they want like medicare for all. when some states like wyoming, north dakota, montana, stamp their feet and say no, the democrats think that that is unfair. so they want to change the rules of the game. the idea that it's racist is preposterous. you have the great point about abraham lincoln. i feel that it's democrats squawking because they're struggling to find a message, struggling to find unity. they want to blame the system. they give the appearance of one not understanding our history, number 1. that's a problem. number 2, not appreciating our country and how our founders set it up. >> tucker: that's right. they could run or middle class economics. that always works. >> this is a big waste of time. the electoral college is not going to change. in your grandchildren's lifetime, they might take another run at it. >> tucker: i pray for that. thank you. great to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: just a few decades

ago, california was the greatest state in the union. there's no argument anymore. what happened there and does have it any lessons for the other states today? that's next. of course, most people in washington would like the entire country to copy california. that's explained in "ship of fools." why? they're incompetent. they're in charge. that book is number 1 on the best seller list. it bumped bob woodward out of the spot. thanks for that you did that. we appreciate it. we'll be right back. experts say to eat a lot of fruits and veggies, but are you getting enough of their nutrients? new one a day with nature's medley

californian. his family has been there for six generations in the same house. he joins us tonight. an honor to have you on the set. so i just -- let's stand back really quickly and ask the obvious question. how did the greatest state go to what it is now? >> a perfect storm. we had $3 trillion cap in for capitolization of facebook and google. convinced millions where the money was concentrated that they were not subject to their own ideology. they could afford the dream and have all of these restrictions, greater regulations, green utopian ideas that would affect other people mostly in the interior but not always. housing went up because of the regulations. small businesses fled. taxes. we have the highest basket of gasoline sales and income taxes in the nine states. >> that doesn't make sense.

the taxes in saudi arabia are low because they have like the bay area -- >> there's other elements to this disaster. we had 10 to 15 million people that came across the southern border without legality, without english or a diploma. so all of a sudden california became a medieval society. it's like a keep. the coastal strip is the castle keep where the elite live and everybody else serves them. the middle class has fled. we have a third of welfare recipients. 20% of the state is below the poverty line. when you get schools 46th in the nation and infrastructure rained 49th. thank got for mississippi. >> tucker: arkansas used to say that. now it's california. so the rest of the viewers that don't live in california, what does that have to do with us?

should we be worried about this? >> yes. california gave us pete wilson, reagan. it flipped to a one-party state. that was this weird new combination of the democratic party. it's a pyramidal society. america's wealthy people are left wing now. they're ultra wealthy and they have a subsidized poor on the bottom. that was the paradigm that overregulated, overtaxed and sent people out of the state. >> tucker: there's a question that i don't understand. let's say you're the 41-year-old multibillionaire that owns twitter. ten minutes away people are dying of ods on the sidewalk. >> because you feel guilty about your wealth. so in the abstract, you can afford to be left wing and help the poor while your gets goo go to sacred wall. walls don't work on the southern border but they work and your state. so you can navigate about the

robert muellerifications of your own ideology. that's what they do. >> tucker: you'd think they want to help the people out their door. >> yes. go to redwood city. at this time service area for silicon valley. mexican families have six and seven families in a house. they're not liberal at all. >> tucker: they're not. >> they ruined the state. into so depressing. so glad you're here with us. >> glad to be here? our viewers love you. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: we have a fox news alert. we're continuing to follow hurricane michael ravaging the gulf coast of florida. phil keating is on the scene. what does it looks like, phil? >> looks like a muddy mess right now. this is apalachicola. we were 30 miles east of the eye, the dirty side of the storm. so the winds, the rains and the storm surge here this morning and afternoon, many hours of it, was an onslaught, a pummelling. it was hellacious.

the rain is gone. the system has moved up to georgia. the storm surge here was anywhere from 5 to 4 feet deep, make 6 feet deep. subsided since 4:00 p.m. dramatically and a few inches, maybe a foot further down the street deep. but it's leaving a lot of mud left. you can see the buildings behind me that were damaged. this dumpster was picked up by the storm surge after the hurricane went northbound and then the winds shifted, blew it over here, floating it into that building. probably destroying that building. so as soon as sunrise happens tomorrow, the curfew will be lifted for residents if they want to venture out. the sheriff's department in franklin county has held off so far giving the green light for people to get out there because search and rescued teams will deploy in mass tomorrow morning on high profile vehicles as well as boats to try to assess the damage, see how catastrophic it

is, how many roads with impassible from downed power lines and trees and roads that are inacceptable. you cannot get out of this town right now. two ways out and both are closed off. everybody has to wait and see how many people were injured and perhaps killed. we have one confirmed fatality in tallahassee where a tree on a house. >> tucker: thanks, phil. we got more evidence that google represents a risk to american national security and to a very democratic institutions. we'll explain what we found after the break. minimums and fees. they seem to be the very foundation of your typical bank. capital one is anything but typical. that's why we designed capital one cafes. you can get savings and checking accounts with no fees or minimums. and one of america's best savings rates. to top it off,

>> tucker: we've repeatedly sounded the alarm about google in a multifaceted threat, the threat that it poses to this country and our democracy.

as part of our ongoing investigation, we want to bring you this. google said they won't compete for a $10 billion pentagon project because it will conflict with corporate values. even as abandoned the u.s. military in a country that made it possible, it's continues to help fascist china. they do things working on like a censored search engine that china can use to monitor and suppress the dissent from its own population. it also doesn't violate their corporate values to expand artificial intelligence research in china even though they're trying to overtake the united states is artificial intelligence. there's more. google hoards more data than any other company in the world and cannot be relied open to keep that data secure. it emerged that google discovered a security hole in

its plus platform but did not bother to inform users about it. and then the overriding matter of censorship, political censorship. in an 85 page internal memo, google executives the discussed i'm breaking a european tradition of policing and censoring online speech for the sake of increasing revenues and furthering global expansion. when google decides to censor views they don't like, they will empower dave hogue, the design leader. after brett kavanaugh was confirmed, hogue tweeted "you are finished, gop. you polished the final nail for your own coffins. f-u all to hell." google gave a typical disingenuous statement saying --

not one of those words is true. and we prove that consistently. hermie dillon is an attorney who fired an lawsuit against google. she joins us. thanks for coming on. tell me what your reaction is knowing all that you do about how google operates when you hear a statement like that, self-righteously lecturing us about freedom of expression and openness. >> i'm glad that the public's attention is now being drawn to what james and several other of my clients have known for some time that google talks out of both sides of its mouth. internally they crushes conservatives and punishes dissent and also skews its search engines against conservatives and publicly it

tell lawmakers, tells the public and tells regulators that they're not doing any of those things that document that you talked about has been caught red-handed that yeah, of course we censor and it's good censorship and beneficially to do that as a business and for society as a whole. they need to be held accountable and reconcile these differences that they have. >> tucker: correct me if i'm wrong. you're the attorney here. doesn't google have an exemption granted by congress where it pledges to not act as a news organization, not edit content, but be a pipeline through which information flows? they're clearly violating that agreement and congress is doing nothing about it because why? >> yeah, bingo. tucker, under communications decency act section 230, all of these big social media companies, exit -- twitter and others are immune.

google, twitter, facebook and others can and they do censor every day. now they're acknowledging it privately, not publicly. they spread buckets of cash around capitol hill. it's effective. everybody looks the other way. it's protection money. that's the point -- >> tucker: near relying -- i don't understand. it's simple. they have this exemption. we don't have it. news organizations don't have it. they're lying. nobody in congress does anything? why is that not infuriate something. >> it's outrageous. we need to hold them accountable. this is on both sides of the aisle. this could be a bilateral problem. the issue is they're relying on an outdated concept, the early stages of the internet that this protection was needed. that is long gone. >> tucker: exactly. >> the public needs protection from them. >> tucker: nicely put. >> the tables are turned. that's one thing that they're concerned about losing that. the other is antitrust regulation.

>> tucker: u.n. ambassador nikki haley surprised everybody in washington yesterday by annou e announcing her resignation. ever since, a lot of talk about who ought to replace here. one of the names we heard most is dina powell. she was a white house adviser. she seems like a nice person.

is she the right person or the the job? that's the question. she's worked on behalf of virtually every idea that president trump ran against in his 2016 campaign. trump, you'll remember, said it was time for america to act on its own behalf and to avoid countless and counter productive wars. are their powell's views? they're not. she was a partner at goldman sachs. she was the president of the foundation arm. she worked with the clinton foundation and they worked together on various goals that most trump voters would refund repugna repugnant.

we'll get to hear a lot more in greater detail about how goldman sachs actually works. that will be an education. we'll keep you posted. this is a fox news alert. hurricane michael slamming into the panhandle of florida right now. rick leventhal is in panama city, florida. what do you see, rick? >> conditions have improved when

we were in hurricane force winds for a lengthy amount of time. the hurricane itself was 155 miles per hour when it hit the coast about 20 miles to our east. this is the stuff that was flying through the air while we were out here, reporting live this afternoon. we saw quite a bit of damage around us. you can see a utility pole behind us that snapped in half, a transformer on the ground there and a sprinkler system, water spraying on the transformer. the lines are dead. this whole area as you can see is in the dark. the highway leads to the gulf coast and the beaches about two miles down. there's a number of other utility poles down the way with power lines coming down on the street. that's one of the reasons why authorities put in a mandatory curfew. to keep people off the streets, try to assess the damage and get the power back on. we have one confirmed death in florida so far, tucker, but the authorities are concerned that nobody could go up because about half the people that were told

to evacuate didn't. there's been rescues affected and more could be ahead. >> tucker: rick leventhal live for news panama city. thanks, rick. fox's coverage of hurricane michael will continue throughout the night. and when fewer people get married, more people are poor and unhappy. far fewer people in america are getting married. why is that exactly? can anything be done about it? that's next. with advil liqui-gels, you'll ask... what stiff joints?

sufficient opportunities for young folks to tend to the raises of kids, we have problems. we do. we originally talked to brad wilcox from the national marriage projects about this. >> thank you for coming on. as i watch the perennial popularity of socialism come back, people my age think socialism? really? what is the appeal. what could be the appeal? i see numbers like these and say if we don't fix them, we'll get socialism. >> a lot of people are concerned about things like healthcare, employment, debt and they see the government as a good place for them to see greater security given the broader context we're seeing today in america. >> i want to zero in on marriage. i know you follow that. you study it closely. marriage is among many other
