international group. he and his family pledging 100 million euro for reconstruction. we are grateful that you spent the evening with us. good night from washington. i am shannon bream. ♪ >> good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight" an island in the middle where notre dame for 850 years ack living symbol of christianity, france, western civilization itself, all but melted down, steeple toppling on live television. there you have the pictures, the final damage is still being assessed tonight, but it looks to be a near total loss. the interior of the cathedral famously called the forest on the 800-year-old timbers ignited like a tinderbox. trace gallagher in the studio.
9:01 pm
>> trace: the reason they call it a forest, tucker 52 acres of timber, some eight or 900 years ago that is what it took to build this thing, 800 years ago and the timber come of course drying for that long so when this went up a tinderbox for all intensive purposes. it happened a little after 6:00 p.m. we are talking about paris time and you can see the smoke coming up out of the cathedral and people were wondering what the smoke was and then minutes later, you look at the pictures and you can see the flames, the smoke had gotten much darker. the firefighter say they were actually there as soon as themo workers because they are now in the process of renovating where they were renovating the fire. the workers where they are and the firefighters trying to bring them out, but the problem was, there was no resources which is odd because the people in the scene said it was unbelievable that you had this thing burning.
9:02 pm
and you see that notre dame actually on an island. there is a river that runs by the back of the property. so wonder was, why wasn't their water pushed or pumped on this thing? and for some reason, 30 or 40 minutes, they struggled to be able to get some water on this. they actually considered using helicopters like we see in wildfires out west to dump on there, but the concern then would be with there be enough water to put the fire out and would it do more damage? they thought about bringing in the tankers which we see in firefights out west, but the question is that's not a sign and you run a risk of having these big tanker to come through to drop this water and doing damage not only to the building but some of the people who work around there. so by the time they got there, all of this would come of the entire cathedral going down and they were saying later, they had no th going to beere able to put the fire out. period. >> tucker: to be clear, it is a loss.
9:03 pm
we don't build things like notre dame anymore. we can't. and so this is the elimination of a finite number of places. the two things to be clear from your reports, the two things at hithis hour that we really don't know d and maybe we should, how did this happen exactly? there is speculation we don't know if it's right it's right. >> trace: we don't. >> tucker: and we don't know why, firefighters benefit of every doubt, but we don't know why the response of the delayed, do we? >> trace: the firefighters were pushing back saying they were there minutes after and the witnesses said yes, they were on the scene trying to get people out. what we don't know, why weren't the resources they are? why didn't they have a tanker? why didn't they have the water being pumped? we do not know. what we do know there was renovation going on up top. we know there was construction and that very area of the fire started. we don't know if that was the cause at all, but we know one could potentially lead to the
9:04 pm
other. we also know if you look at these pictures now inside, you are talking about if you've ever been inside this amazing structure, you have 76 of those paintings. they are 4 feet tall. they are everywhere in the ceilings, walls, windows magnificent in their own right. those are gone. now the concern is, we lost the cetwork. we lost the organ, at the heritage but did we lose the artifact? by that, did we lose the things that were in the volts below and not only the plans of the cathedral itself but also some of the early architectural plans of the city? of the city of paris. they were locked and there. that is the question now, how much of the heritage did they actually lose in the fire because it really was devastated? devastating to catholics because it's good friday, easter sunday. the two holiest days on the christian calendar, dozens, i'm sorry, hundreds of thousands
9:05 pm
would have celebrated mass this weekend. >> tucker: horrifying, thank you very much for that. well,r: the fire you have been watching is in some ways metaphor. the broader decline of christianity in europe. the decline has been's swift with consequences. mark steyn starting this question 40 years and we are glad to have him with us tonight, mark thank you for coming on. there is one that i cannot get out of my mind, we haven't builh anything like notre dame cathedral in the west in so long. we don't build things that are beautiful anymore. may be almost by design. will there ever be anything like that ever again? >> mark: i think we have lost the knack. notre dame is about a ten minute walk from the pompidou center name for the late pompidou and that is one of the-- almost like any modern building in paris, that is one of the ugliest things you've ever seen.
9:06 pm
and when you go back eight and a half centuries to the time when this building began construction, it took a century for the first part of it to be completed. the man who set to work on this knew that they would not see it finishedim in their lifetime. but their sense of a transcendent meaning to life was so strong, that the idea of building the most beautiful building to the glory of god, theyos took naturally in a way that we don't anymore. >> tucker: well, and that, of course, the reason they built buildings like notre dame and the first place. not just for the amusement but to glorifyn god. this is not, let's be clear, not speculating that because of the fire, you know, it happened as trace gallagher, holy week and it is not the only church that has caught fire in france.
9:07 pm
in the last year or quite a few desecration's of churches but give us a scale of what's been happening. >> mark: in retreat in europe, and in france particularly, france has quite an aggressive belief in secularism and according to some polls, the french or even by the standards of the molten west world, the most godless people in that sense. three years ago and that terrible summer that began with the nice truck killings. the entire french was unraveling, i went to the cathedral for the paramount, the -- the french priest who had hs throat cut at mass. and then the basilica of saint-denis', and the north of paris where the french kings of barid.
9:08 pm
-- married. and basically, a christian museum and the heart of what is now a muslim suburban in effect. there is no sense of christianity outside of the walls of that cathedral. it was after that that i went to notre dame because you do have the sense that a living, breathing faith is just becoming actually, a museum. an art gallery. a storage facility. and the french who were on the streets of paris, this evening. they are not morning just history or architectural art or cultural. they are mourning something else. but what that something else post-christian france can't quite identify it. that is really the conundrum. when he says we will rebuild it, for what? when people talk about the heart of france has died.
9:09 pm
what is in the soul of france? what is this? is it just the building or something more? >> tucker: and so specifically as you well know, it was desanctified, d christianized during the french revolution for a time and was made a secular temple, but then immediately reverted to what it always was, which was a christian holy place. do you think there is any hope in something like that will happen again in france? >> mark: you never know how these things will go. everybody knows the hunchback of notre dame, the novel, quite a lot to restore the importance of notre dame in the minds of the french people. but michel houellebecq a controversial notable list, a summation which poses that france elects a muslim president. and he knows the single
9:10 pm
character knows this will mean something. and he actually makes a conscious effort to try to recover hiss lost catholic fait. and those are the kind of pilgrimage, and he is moved by the music. he is moved by the ritual. but he can't quite make the final stepp and reconnect with god and the catholic faith. and that scene in that book is in a certain sense the question raised by this fire tonight. is it a hole in the soul or a missing building burned to the ground? >> tucker: has it made it a better society of christianity? >> mark: no, it has not. you have to believe in something. >> tucker: thank you. >> mark: thanks a lot, tucker. >> tucker: good to see you. three days t from now the wait will be over. the department of justice announced the mueller report will, in fact, be released to the rest of us this thursday.
9:11 pm
it has been three weeks the attorney general william barr released his first summary of the report that exonerated the president and his tap from claims they colluded with the government of vladimir putin. since then, diehard conspiracy notes have suggested that barr lied in his summary because he's in on it too trying to help vladimir putin and the payment apparently. so we will find out very soon but that they were right or not. have the complete report the moment it drops with the exception of the redactions and if those people are wrong, do you think they will apologize? we are going to ask them. up next, for years democrats at the american should welcome every migrant legal or illegal, but d since president trump offered to grant them their wish, they have been strangely unexcited about it. what is going on? we will tell you after the break. ♪
9:15 pm
♪ >> tucker: so former obama advisor, has a new book out. you didn't know that. you were not alone. nobody knew that. nobody cares. the book is called "finding my voice" and just honest, not even in the top 1,000 on amazon and barnes and noble, no reviews like four reviews. not selling copies and the amazing part "the new york times" put it 14th on the best seller lists.
9:16 pm
so ath book that sold no copies made "the new york times" best seller list. so the book industry spoke to the news foundation and described as inconceivable. so when conceivable in fact that only one expect nee -- -- explanation for it, fraud. the companies by an author's book for a fee in order to guarantee best seller status. we're not saying that happen, we are just strongly suggesting that it must've happened. until now, the accomplishment life with friends with michelle obama but now a new achievement, best-selling author, congrats. for years, democratic leaders have fought against securing the border.on they passed sanctuary city laws and they made it clear in their viewy there are only two kinds of people in the world, effective americans who live here and the superior future americans who have the rest of the planet should be allowed toio come here swiftly s possible. if you disagree, by the way, you are a bigot.
9:17 pm
it is as simple as that. this rhetoric until something unexpected happened, the president threatened to agree with them last week he said he's ready to give them exactly what they've been demanding illegal immigrants fresh from the border as many as possible bus to their front doors like a package from amazon. you think they would be thrilled. but they weren't. they were angry. they said trump would dump immigrants on them, dump like used cars and tires in the s woods. an interview with cbs news, presidential candidate cory booker accuse the president of something sinister. watch this. >> i think he's trying to pit americas against each other and make it less safe. -- make us less safe. >> so you takes this seriously? >> i take this, he is injecting fear into the country. so he was looking to solve the problem, he wouldn't do things to divide the country against itself. >> tucker: wait a second, wait a second to those following at home. did you catch the word from
9:18 pm
senator booker from new jersey who went to yale law school way smarter than you? he says that bringing in illegal immigrants would make us less safe. that can't be true because hemi told us illegal immigrants are more law-abiding than you are. how can bringing immigrants pit each other against each other if they work hard and grow the economy? it sounds like bigotry talking. is senator booker a bigot? what about cher, a liberal actress/singer. now she is tweeting things like this, i understand that helping struggling immigrants but my city of los angeles is not taking care of its own. what about 50,000 citizens who live on the street, people who live below poverty line and are hungry? if my state cannot take care of its own and others' vets, how can it take care of its own? the virus is spreading? is cher a bigot too?
9:19 pm
what is going on? to unravel these mysteries, we are joined by richard who has come on tonight. >> richards: thanks for having me. corey booker said and it is confusing to me from attempting illegal aliens into the city will make them less safe, how can that be true? we know from him and everybody else that they actually make us safer? >> richard:ve the libertarian group that did the research thay said by undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rate then native americans so pick it up with them but not me or liberals. >> tucker: i'm actually taking up with them 20 times but i'm interested in booker. andd cher. i'm not attacking any anybody, but and less likely the core of the
9:20 pm
economy and most americans among us, why in the world would you be calling them garbage to make the city'sri more dangerous, senator booker adjusted. >> richard: he's not calling them garbage. >> tucker: he's dumping them. >> richard: the president's signature with mexico to pay for the wall to cap all of this from being an issue. he failed on that. it is counterproductive and remember people saying i one a trip to disneyland so all expensive paid trip to a great icity. they would never even dream of getting there, s but -- >> tucker: but hold on. for 40 years we have taken refugees and moved them into rural and poor america but wh not pacific heights in san francisco? why don't we? i'm sincere. every time they come, they go tg bethlehem, pennsylvania, why don't we send them into where zip code? and then to nantucket? i'm not joking. >> richard: because i think
9:21 pm
president trump is talking about senting thousands of people with no job, no family connections, no resources, and then having them go into a community where they have no roots, no nothing. so of course -- >> tucker: with millions of people every decade, you have a totally different country basically. no one cares. >> richard: if you said 10,000 or a hundred thousand people from norway or north dakota to pacific heights, it would be two having nothingor to do with the color of their skin so i think cory booker -- >> tucker: hold on, wait a second, you are breaking, i argument and god bless you for doing that. i believe what you said. it's not about race but the pace of change, and why should they have to handle it? i agree with that, white nationalist for signing up but you are right. but i'm asking why don't we have
9:22 pm
but i'm asking why don't we have the same about the rest of the country that is getting this imposed on them and nobody cares? why don't they care? >> richard: the problem, tucker the president tried this 2018 campaign with the caravan and it didn't work.n ms-13, his election day tied to losing by nine. this is a tactic the president is trying to vacate down the escalator and election day 2020 and everyday in between. and it's unproductive. politically, it's unproductive. >> richard: that is the other problem. >> tucker: you are right, of course, but maybe it makes us more compassion for the country that don't live in the zip codes we do, coastal zip codes. they complain about immigration, maybe they just want control over what happens to their town. >> richard: and i think comprehensive immigration reform is essential. that is what the president is trying to accomplish.
9:23 pm
go back to 2013 deal with lindsey graham supporting it, that is a basis for ----ac >> tucker: right. this is not that. >> richard: unless you offer him a deal. >> tucker: you are coming closer to the answer. i appreciate it. >> richard: you got it. >> tucker: the state of california has a lot of problems with the program. san francisco and los angeles have enormous homeless population, drive through and you will see it. one in five californians live in poverty the highest rate in the wcountry. thousands of middle-class residents flee every year. and the fastest growing places in the country, but fear not, the governor newsom is taking ambitious three day poverty tour to learn about people and what he can do about it. he's always been rich so he needs to do a little reporting on the subject but wait. it turns out he's not doing the
9:24 pm
tour in skid row or stockturn or central valley, but instead, guatemala and el salvador. he's there to learn about the areas troubled including poverty and crime. to find out about what california can do to help, california can do to help other countries work on their homeless and property related issues. imagine if he was focused on his state which he is supposed to be running. well, democrats a very specific talking point. ilhan omar inciting violence. and also new developments in the college scandal, it might grow. the responses are straight ahead.
9:28 pm
9:29 pm
after that a u.s. citizen. she has been attacking the united states as racist ever sense. according to omar barely a difference between this country and terrorist groups like al qaeda. in a interview, omar complained there was a big difference between america and al qaeda, watch. >> when i was in college, i took a terrorism class. every time the professor said al qaeda, his shoulders went up. you know. you don't say america with intensity. england with intensity. you don't say the army with intensity. >> tucker: so she still feels this way and we know because she spoke to a group hosted by the council on american islamic relations care. while there the congresswoman complained america is bigoted against muslims, second-class
9:30 pm
citizens, she said. no proof because of certain claims. for greater freedom in america than they do it islamic country on the planet. that is a where they move here, millions and millions more would like to join them and you would toomi if you wear them congressn omar lives here and in somalia, but in america by the way an elected member of congress. could she do that in saudi arabia? no. is she grateful? no, she never stops complaining. she made this famous remark about 9/11. >> founded after 9/11, because they recognize that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties. >> tucker: some people did something. but we are the real victims. omar understatement had criticism with images of 9/11 attacks in case you forgot what people did. late last week the president joined the criticism by tweeting
9:31 pm
this video. >> founded after 9/11 because they recognize that some people did something. >> you have no idea. >> some people did something. oh, my goodness, there is smoke at the pentagon. >> some people did something? >> tucker: a little over the top? yeah, may be. if you are ilhan omar you do not like that video. people don't like to be criticized, got it but would you feel criticized by that tweet? not unless you believe disagreement is the same as violence. and as it happens, does believe unthe disagreement is the same s violence or claims to believe that. i all of a sudden people on television said trump is trying to her ill on omar. > many are calling trump's
9:32 pm
tweet and that video incitement to violence against the congresswoman. >> donald trump is trying to incite violence. >> this is all just incitement to violence.co >> this is incitement to violence. the goal is inciting violence. we are getting incitement of violence. no question, is he inciting violence towards muslims? not only ilhan omar but muslims in the country. ms>> tucker: cory booker would say literally anything went further, of course, the signature move when everybody else is saying something ridiculous, booker will triple down on insanity to be completely sincere about it. in this case, booker happy to blame trump for actual terrorist attacks. >> since 9/11, we have had terrorist attacks in this country. majority right wing extremist and the majority of those white supremacist attacks from synagogue and pittsburgh to a church in south carolina. and these are white supremacist groups that use language as we
9:33 pm
saw as far away as new zealand. use the president's language as almost the license for the attack. >> tucker: i swear in 20 years, every fifth-grader will believe 9/11 was committed by white supremacist. totally true. you watch and heard it here first. they are the real threat. and that is what booker is sating. to prove it, demagogues from the left forever telling us what the epidemic of hate crimes in the country but they are lying. there is no epidemic of hate crimes, california the biggest date and the most liberal state and here are the numbers 2017 california convictedrn 65 people of hate crimes. 65 out of 40 million people. by the way, pure hate crimes in california and 2017 under trump then 1986 under the bill clinton administration. that epidemic is fake, propaganda and they are trying to control you with fear. your opinions are violent, they
9:34 pm
say, your opinions are violent, disagreeing with me is assault. you must obey. that is what they are telling you. you can see why. this is where we come into it. if we go along with this and go to these demands it is over. if we let them define speech as violence, it has no meaning. they can tell you what to say and when to say it. they can use any force necessary to make you be quiet. just as you would do whatever you needed to do and whatever force to stop the terrorist attack. they are saying your opinions and terrorist attack are the same thing. this is a scary argument, and we should be afraid of it. dave rubin joins us tonight, dave, thank you so much. i thought immediately when i saw what they are doing. our people and came the implications of your criticizing a person committing an act of violence byr doing it? >> dave: of course we have to separate criticism of ideas from
9:35 pm
criticism of people specifically.ng you have to be able to criticize any set of ideas. a set of ideas, whether a eopolitical platform, say republican or democratic platform or religious set of ideas whether islam or christianity. by the way, this is what religious scholars have done for years. they rip apart the text and argue over the meaning of the text. you have to be able to criticize ideas. the main thing i was thinking while you were talking is that we live in a strange time where the same people who will call you a white supremacist, who will call donald trump a nazi,ha and 40% of the country deplorable's, racist or the buzzwords that you talk about, is that in incitement to violence? if you use their own logic against them fighting against nazis and hitler, absurd, aren't they the ones? >> tucker: and in fact, they are, i've had violence at my house because of them.
9:36 pm
and yes,re a big effect on my le and my family, but i'm not going to whine about it because i think debating the idea is the important thing. they use in a disagreement to shut down the debate. >> dave: if you look back the last couple of years the way this thing is tracked and i did tons of videos. over the last four years. first polling the political opponents nazis, then you can punch a nazi. and we can cite people and if you call somebody a nazi, what is next. can we jail these people? you are absolutely right. this is all we have left, and i've been traveling and talk to people about speech and all of these issues. everyone in europe, everyone in europe is jealous that we still have the first amendment. they wish they had the first amendment. this isnd what we must stand fo. and i have to say as
9:37 pm
someone who lived in new york 9/11, and i was in my early 20s, watching the videos of the planes crashing, horrific, obviously, but the dismissiveness, omar talking about it or just sort of shifts the way that you should feel about it, it's not about what happened to the people that actually died but what happened to her, it is so disgusting, really. >> tucker: is it also, kind of narcissism that is universal on the left now? all about me. and my feelings. i don't know, someone died. they are orphans. no, but people look at me funny on the subway. maybe it's not about you for a second. >> dave: i think you are right, where people don't care about your feelings. the left absorbed if you feel about anything any given moment that is what is right. so on the segment that you did prior to this, so the idea that taking positions that relate the same position as donald trump. it is because the chess board flipped and you can really, that is the thing you can get them to take any position.s
9:38 pm
on almost anything. but someone that came from the left, and i can't say that i'm part of the left. we have to be able to talk about these ideas, and by the way, don't go into politics if you don't want to be criticized. the way they send out the memos, so they all say incitement and the exact same time, the politicians. >> tucker: journalists going along with this? toughen up. stop whining. >> dave: it's like, wait a minute, you guys calling everybody nazis. this guy, i wouldn't be sitting here if you were elected and that is the truth. thit is incitement? somehow i don't think so. >> tucker: it appears to be. dave, great to see you as always. hollywood celebrities and business with huge sums of money to get their kids into prestigious schools. mike rowe said attending these schools would be a waste of time if it was free. if it didn't cost anything, he still wouldn't go, and he

down because mandatory jail time and then they got hit with another charge of money laundering with max sentence of 20 years and {" }people{" } magazine reporting at that point they wanted to negotiate the prosecutors took the deal off the table. so they had no choice but too plead guilty. that is significant because both charges carry 20 years each. first it offenders never get 20 years each bet prosecutors say possible four to six years. neither have commented on the allegations but even if this does not go to trial in prosecutors with an 11th hour plea deal, experts say she and will serve years, not months on the other end, felicity huffman has pleaded guilty to boosting her daughter's s.a.t. scores and looking at may be a few months behind bars. now, there are reports adult students involved in the cheating scandal could face criminal charges. that is on top of publications

9:46 pm
tonight. thank you for coming on. i've been wanting for the past two weeks to get your view of this college scandal because it intersects with things you have been talking about for so long. what is your view? >> mike: the first and obvious thing i'm outraged and everybody is outraged. but you step back and look at it, i think it is fair to say what is most outrageous? what are we most angry about? cheaters are bad, cheaters are bad because people who cheat, get taken advantage of, and that is just not fair. we get that. but rich cheaters seem to really upset us especially. and i think that is part of what has crystallized the outrage around the story is the fact that the people who most egregiously cheated had an awful lot of money. and for my money, as i step back to look at it, well, yeah, that is kind of disgusting, but where is the outrage for the cost of college in general?
9:47 pm
you don't have to be rich or famous to believe that your kid is doomed to fail if they don't get a four year degree. millions of parents in the country right now, millions, who generally feel if they don't do everything they can to get their kid into a good school, they will fail the kid. so where is the outrage for the pressure that we put on a 17-year-old to borrow $100,000? you know, so much of that pressure comes from their mom and dad. it is well intended but it is tragic. where is the outrage for the guidance counselors who say the best path for the most people just happens to be the most expensive? the politicians and the lobbyists exacerbate the same myth. and employers interviewing people with a four year degree. we set the table in a pretty self-evident way. when we scratch our heads, you
9:48 pm
are exactly right. the cost of tuition has increased faster than inflation, but also faster than health care, faster than real estate, faster than food, faster than energy.er never before in the history of western civilization has heanything potentially important been egregiously expensive. so college is expensive because we freed up unlimited pile of free money and told an entire generation we are doomed to fail if they didn't borrow it.nd that has happened in every single tax bracket not just the top one. tucker: that is exactly right. so we really shouldn't be surprised, as you just said, when people try to gain the system described to them as they want the most important as if the gates to success in america. why even now are when so many people know this system is a scam, so many few people saying so? >> mike: i think because stuck in this binary box, this or
9:49 pm
that. right, blue-collar or white color, good job or a bad job. higher education or higher alternative education. when you only have two choices or you think you only have two choices, then you do one thing at the expense of the other. so for instance, you know we have talked about this before, but it just seems so clear now. when four year degree universities needed a p.r. campaign 40 years ago, they got one.ee but the p.r. came at the expense of all of the other forms of education. so it wasn't, hey, tucker get your liberal arts degree because it will give you a broad base of appreciation o for humanity. it was, if you don't go get that degree, you will wind up over here turning a wrench or running a welding torch or doing some kind of consolation prize. so we promoted the one thing at

the expense of all of the others. tand that one thing just happed to be the most expensive thing. and so, look,i don't think the skills said is the mystery. a reflection of what we value. 7 million jobs available and they require training. yet we are obsessed not really with education, you know. what we are obsessed with this credentialing. people are buying diplomas. they are buying their degrees. it is a diploma dilemma, honestly. and itit is expensive. it is getting worse. it's not just the kids holding the note. it is us. we are underwriting -- >> tucker: who are totally right and felicity huffman believed the nonsense she has been told for 40 years. we shall listen to you on this. >> mike: look, if you are welcome. >> tucker: thank you. >> tucker: after a decade in the wilderness, the top of the
