costly. >> 75 years ago tonight. we'll see you live from normandy tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. tucker carlson standing by in washington d.c. coming up next. good night. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." fork cliff driver made the mistake making fun of one of the most powerful people online. the press and facebook teamed to up destroy him. the terrifying alliance between elite media and woke capital. first tonight officially the democratic party is led by people old enough to remember the korean war. chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. in reality, power has shifted. the real leaders of the party today are young pie years radicals like alexandria

ocasio-cortez. today biden revealed his own climate plan. like the green new deal, it would put the entire american economy in the hands of the democratic party. it would cost about $6.7 trillion. how much is that? it's equal to two full years of the entire federal budget. biden said we must give democrat this power immediately or else the entire planet will become uninhabitable. >> signs tell us how we act in the next 12 years will determine the livability of our planet. today, i'm announcing my plan for clean energy revolution. outlines what we have to do meet this challenge head on and how we're going to get there. we're going to invest monthly $7 trillion in securing our future so that by 2050 united states will be 100% clean energy

economy will net zero missions. >> tucker: just 12 years to act when the planet becomes uninhabitable. it sounds familiar. biden took that line directly from the young pioneer herself. >> the world will end in 12 years if we don't address climate change. this is our world war ii. >> tucker: like, this is our world war ii. actually biden barred more than just line. at least five unanimouses in -- instances joe biden quoted verbatim or none them are cited. that's another benefit of climate. not only you get to seize power, you get to ignore federal copyright laws. for more inside joe biden's climate plan. we're joined by power the future

executive director daniel turner. thank you very much for coming on. in the clip you just saw in the plan released to the press today, joe biden pledges to eliminate net carbon dioxide emissions in 30 years. as a scientific matter, is that plausible? >> it's amazing he'll eliminate carbon dioxide. this is part that says where the party of science and we believe in science. to say we'll have zero emission by 2050 is stupid comment. >> tucker: why? what's you're doing is poo pooing a dream here. tell me why that dream is not achievable? >> to create windmills you need to forge a lot of steel to make steel, you need a lot of coal. to get the rare earths that go into solar panels you need to do a lot of mining and excavation. that's emissions. you cannot green technology

using green technology. it's a circular reasoning to think that they will create a system that is self-sustaining. we need oil, gas and coal. it's a dumb statement. >> tucker: i think the idea is that technologies in the pipeline, they are being developed currently, will reach a point by 2050 where that's possible. are we on that trajectory? >> by 2050, i'm an optimist. maybe. we're not there yet. we haven't cured cancer yet. i don't live my life assuming when we'll start curing it. we haven't cured it yet. is the technology going to be there in the future? potentially. it's not there yet. what annoys me about this deal, last time we had tensions like this with iran, oil was at $150 a barrel. why is it not right now? with all the tensions going on, we have men and women working in oil and gas.

we are energy independent for the first time in decades. instead of celebrating that and saying that is awesome, he wants to destroy all those jobs. >> tucker: biden is one of many politicians who told us one of the problem for the united states we weren't energy independent. we were funding extremism. now we're not but now we have to give up our own domestic production? >> no we have to give up our domestic oil production. i remember he was blue collar joe. he launched his campaign in pennsylvania. middle class joe. pennsylvania has 300,000 people in work in oil and gas. does he expect them to vote for them? it's the third largest coal state in the nation. are they going to vote for him? ask hillary last time politician went to energy state, told them i will put you out of a job.

>> tucker: this is a sincere question. none of these people they're not scientists. they are politicians. that's what they do. is it an accident that all of their solutions increase their power? have you seen any solutions to global warming that would not make the democratic party more powerful? >> no. i haven't seen one that doesn't enrich a certain industry if he's going to spend $1.7 trillion i got to go to people like tom stiere. it enriches their donor or donors base or takes away individual right and liberty. >> tucker: what's so interesting, they're not even allowing for a policy conversation because this is a moral question. they're telling our children now, if you don't agree with their program, you're climate

denier, it's an immoral category. there's no disagreement allowed. >> you remember, ocasio-cortez said it's better to be morally correct than factually right. >> tucker: thank you very much. pete buttigieg is only 37 years old. he gained a remarkable amount of decency. much more than you will have. how did he get so good? it wasn't his time a at harvard. it was also service in the u.s. military. he thinks that. buttigieg explained he put his life on the line to defend america's rights. he said that people wouldn't oppose the national anthem protest at nfl games if they served in the military. buttigieg trash the the current

president for faking disability to the vietnam. only bad people avoided the vietnam draft. that's the democratic position now. don't tell joe biden. he got the same deferments that trump did. don't tell bernie sanders. there's a larger question here. is peter van buren point the out, if trump's military record is fair game, so is pete buttigieg's. he dilled all of six months in 2014 as a reservist deep inside bogram airfield. locked and loaded inside a toyota land cruiser. it's unlikely he had a cold meal in afghanistan. mayor pete is milking his service politically stretching his short tour into civic

lessons. peter van buren join us tonight. thank you very much. so, what you're saying, if the quote from your piece is representative is that pete buttigieg is inflatable his experience and it to crush his political opponent requests >> he's getting lot of juice out of weak squeeze it pete buttigieg want to talk about military service he might want to start with his rivals. buttigieg sunday seem to moral or civic lessons to their service the way he does to relatively few months in afghanistan. no one decryings his service. his work is honorral and we applaud him. but at the same time, to try to

attribute some complex knowledge some wisdom based on a relatively short time in a nonposition in afghanistan is pushing things just little too far. especially when he turns that against donald trump while ignoring that joe biden after multiple deferments same number that dick cheney got, joe biden was found one not to go to vietnam because of his teenage asthma. if bone spurs and asthma doesn't share a nudge in the medical direction. >> tucker: so many questions. i thought not serving in vietnam can the left for my whole life has told us was an ill legitimate war we couldn't win. since when did not serving in vietnam, like bill clinton or joe biden, become disqualifying? >> it's very interesting. as you point out, bill clinton made extensive efforts to avoid

serving in vietnam up to including possibly to renounce his american citizenship at the u.s. embassy in london. bill clinton refuse to talk about those things. he was elected to the white house. in 1992 "new york times" ran an editorial talking about the dishonorable war in vietnam and how choosing not to serve in that war was almost a marker of morality as on th -- opposed something negative. when it comes to time to criticize donald trump, pete buttigieg is quick to pull those things out from the history books and talk about angsts out of complex while ignoring that joe biden got the same deferments, dick cheney, george bush and mitt romney. at the same time refusing to ask questions of his current generation including aoc about why they didn't serve when the opportunity to volunteer was in front of them.

>> tucker: there's a lot of theme with buttigieg. lot of judgment and lot of moral outrage. you wonder how much of it exactly is justified? the idea that you're not allowed offended by overpaid nfl star desecrating the national anthem because you didn't serve at the air base like pete buttigieg. >> people who serve at bogram air force base. the fresh bread at bogram was worth the trip. i'm sure we could ask pete about that. this is symbolic of the group that he belongs to. find ways to judge others out of context, looing at photos in the pure light of 2019. the context speaks to something very different. i like to ask pete why not turn

that spotlight he seems to aim at donald trump. when barack obama different serve and cory booker, kamala harris shows not to volunteer. they did it in is a system that was different from the vietnam war. someone else did go in their place. i like to hear pete ask that question. >> tucker: i like to hear him justify his time at mckenzie. thank you very much for coming on. well, a guy you never heard of who supports trump allegedly made a video making fun of nancy pelosi. you can't do that. that will be our advice because facebook decides to destroy it and did. we'll tell you what happened after the break. nutrition can seem overwhelmin.

attorney connected to this effort will be joining us tomorrow night for an update and you want to put that on your calendar. couple of weeks ago a smily amused video made rounds. it's a clip of nancy pelosi speaking looking drunk. within a few days most normal people didn't remember it ever existed. one group of people did not forget, couldn't forget the press. they weren't just angry, they were outraged. somebody created an edited video. it wasn't that like nbc edited the 911 call.

that kind of editing is totally fine. that's journalism. but the pelosi video, by contrast, that mocked a prom dante -- prominent democrat. person responsible for this abomination must be destroyed. they dispatch end a political activist called kevin pollson. he just name the guy. he ridiculed his employment history. he called him a forklift operator. he's a total troll. it has nothing to do with the story. he wanted to humanit humiliate . he's african-american and being identified as a black

conservative in new york. he wanted up end his life. he did. amazingly facebook was happy to help paulson. unnamed employee at facebook helped him confirm the identity of his target. few weeks ago facebook stepped up banning alex jones and other info wars. now we're going further. if you hold the wrong views, facebook doesn't just block you, they'll team up with the detail by beast to destroy you. that's a standard on the american left. if you disagree with the ruling class, you're fair game. fair game for harassment, ridicule, boycott. you can't have dinner in a public restaurant. this is why brett kavanaugh were targeted for personal destruction. it's why the left tried to shut down everything from hobby lobby

and chick-fil-a. it's where sarah sanders and family were booted out a restaurant in virginia. it's about boston globe columnist encouraged his readers to poison conservatives they feed food to. roger stone said he was physically attacked while having a dinner. called the trader. for two years the media complained about called enemy of the people. these same journalists have been happy to taunt ordinary americans as public enemies. the difference s they think you deserve that. dave rubin join us. thanks a lot for coming on tonight. what's your response to the fact that facebook abetted the docking of this guy? >> first up, i'm glad that you

called the journalists for the daily beast an activist and not a journalist. this person is not someone doing journalism. the daily beast is not a place of journalism. they have a clear political agenda. they've done this thing with me by the way. this hit piece style journalism. we need to be very clear about this. the idea of me making a funny gifts and silly videos and slowing down videos and putting hats on people and all the silly things that go on the internet, this is basically happening across the board, happening which way out internet. the idea that one video went out about nancy pelosi they don't like, they are going to team up with facebook to expose somebody w.h.o. happens -- who happies to be an african-american. what is it that you guys really doing here? you're not doing the public a

service which is what journalists are supposed to be doing. you're not fighting the power. you're actually fighting the people who are fighting the power. >> tucker: they are foot soldiers. they're defending the power. you can't criticize nancy pelosi. >> also, the danger here, i don't know that we have the full information on exactly what the facebook policies are on releasing this kind of information. but that also goes to the amount of information and power that big tech has over it. think about -- just you or me, specifically, think about literally the thousands of images and selectively edit videos and things out there against the two of us. imagine every time that happened, we grabbed a lawyer and try to expose people. if that's the root they want to go down, we are going to take down everybody which seems to be a theme. every time i come on your show it's a story within this vain.

the theme is, these guys don't take their foot off the gas, they will end up where they're all exposed the ones doing all these terrible things. >> tucker: isn't there some level of at least implied trust and probably legal trust between users of facebook and the fantasy facebook -- company of facebook? you give them your picture and some creepy political activist could call up and say, this guy was rude to leader pelosi. let's crush him. they rat you out. if they're going to be hateful like that, do we have recourse? how terrifying is that? >> i suspect they're going to be a endless amount of lawsuits. think about it. how many videos and memes are there about trump? do you think facebook would have assisted if daily beast wanted

to expose someone that's anti-trump? most of us don't have attorney sitting next to us when we sign up for the websites and you sign away your life and images and your information. that's what they own over us. we really, all of us in 2019, we have to grapple with what is our relationship to these platforms and what is the platform's relationship to journalism and then the government as well. we are allowed to make fun of nancy pelosi. i would say people want to make some funny memes of nancy pelosi and tweet them, i'll retweet them. satire is what makes us free. we are allowed to joke and make fun of the people in power. you can do it on people on the left and people on the right. we need that.

>> tucker: when you criticize nancy pelosi, you're criticizing all women. that's sexist. >> well this is unfortunately the game that the intersectional leftist are playing. if you make fun of woman, only if she's on the left, then you don't like women. of course, this is ironically the essence of bigotry. you're viewing these people only through the prism if they can be themselves. we really all of us need to think about how do we want to relate to these platforms? do we want to be lat form -- platforms that are waiting to release our private information to places of journalism that would be more than happy to doc us. anyone watching this, needs to realize it's not they are trying to scare this guy. they trying so scare you too. that's why they go after you. that's why they go after me. there's only few people willing

to stand up. we need more people to stand up. daily beast is not the good guys in this situation. >> tucker: or any situation. dave, thank you. great to see you tonight. we want to bring you update to a story that's more than a year old. the parkland murders at parkland high school in florida. you may remember the cop who ran away. that man is finally facing criminal charges tonight. we'll have details on what they are after the break. just one free hearing test at

>> tucker: it's been more than a year since 17 students and staff were murdered at the marjory stoneman douglas high school. authorities arrested the school police officer who hid rather than confronting the shooter and saving lives. trace gallagher has more on what

happened. >> former broward deputyings scot peterson is facing 11 charges. instead of taking action, he took cover. remember most of the students and faculty killed and injured on the first and third floors of the marjory stoneman douglas. scot peterson is not facing charges for what happened on the first floor because experts say there wasn't time for anyone to intervene. he's facing charges for what happened on the third floor. many believed he could have saved lives including laurie. >> he needs to go to jail. he needs to serve a lifetime in prison for not going in that day and taking down the threat and that led to the death our loved ones. >> in his defense, the 56-year-old peterson claims he took cover outside the school

because he didn't know where the shots were coming from. but radio calls he made contradict that. listen. >> we have possible firecracker. we got possible shots fired. 1200 building. >> in the next 54 seconds, peterson made two more calls where he identified shots coming from the 1200 building. he stayed put. the investigation into the shooting found not only did peterson retreat during the gunfire, he also warned other law enforcement to remain 500 feet away from building 1200. peterson has been fired from the sheriff's office and if he's convicted, faces up to 97 years in prison. >> tucker: thank you. thank you very much for coming on. clearly peterson shirked his duty as american, man and law enforcement and law enforcement official.

i'm shocked and happy to see that he's facing criminal charges. what grounds is he being prosecuted? >> yeah. this is a tough question. i think emotionally we all like to see him charged criminally and certainly child protection advocate like i've been my whole career, i won't like that it's appalling that he didn't try to save lives. it is unprecedented. it really is. the supreme court is held that law enforcement officers have no individual duty of care to any particular person. here, in florida what they trying to do is tha say he was n the role of caregiver. in that role as a caregiver, he was negligent he had human life through inaction. >> tucker: wouldn't that be true? here's a guy who carries a firearm, who's been trained in

its use. we as society given the power life and death. he's in the exact situation that he's been training for his entire life. a school shooting. he doesn't do anything? how could that not be? >> i think you're right. it is grotesque dereliction of duty. what they are attempting to do criminalize cowardness. this is no precedent for it. i do think he'll be convicted by any jury in florida. i suspect on an appeal, cooler heads will prevail. they will say legislature wants police officers to be criminalally liable for inaction, they got to put that in the law specifically. >> tucker: it's not. i guess that's the other question is, there's some

indication that he was acting -- where were his superiors? why wouldn't his training compel immediately to run inside? >> that's a great question. i suspect we'll get the answer. since columbine police officers and agents around the world have been training on the principle that you got to go in, you got to go in fast and you got to go in deadly in order to protect kids. he did not do that. i don't know if it was a failure of his own moral character, his own cowardice. we'll find that out. >> tucker: awful lot of cowards now in this country. thank you for that perspective. protest in europe against the american president who was in

words, the deeds. >> when visiting one our closest allies, the president still manages to find adversaries. the organizer said the balloon is meant to send a message to president trump. he is not welcome here. >> tucker: who can forget the balloon? laura ingraham host laura ingraham angle. she's in london now. she's ventured in the protest. she took this footage herself. >> i don't think somebody who is so such of a racist and misogynist should be given so much problem. >> i think trump is horrible. >> wages are up. unemployment is down to historic

low. the economy is the envy of the world. >> i wouldn't entirely agree with that. >> tucker: sad people and sad country. one nod sat person in london is laura ingraham. >> the protests were kind of a letdown. i'm glad you started with the trump baby balloon. they have a trump on the toilet, saying things like where is my cell phone and fake news. that was kind of funny. the crowd weren't what they were last year when trump was here. it was massive. we're guessing maybe 10,000 people. the strange thing about it, there was not really a substantive criticism so much of trump. he's a bad person kind of criticism. it's more like an orthodoxy and ideology of the left to be

against him. it became rather comical. >> khan who has been in direct spat with the president, what has he been saying? >> trump values aren't london values. we talked to some actual britts today. people who are born here, grew up here 25 miles outside the city. the funny thing about london today, lot of britts will say, there's not as many britts in london. london is a mecca. it's very culturally diverse. lot of immigrants in london. it represents in many ways the more cosmopolitan thinking of u.s. cities. if you think about l.a. represent all of america. of course not. l.a. represents l.a.

that's fine. they don't like trump in l.a. or they don't like trump in new york city or boston. you get little bit outside london and things change. people like, the economy in the united states is really strong. we kind of need more independence, we don't want to answer to brussels. today sadiq khan represents, trump is a bad person. if you support him he's a bad person too. >> tucker: three years ago that britain's voted to leave the european union in the most act of democracy and they're still in. has anybody noted to you that maybe their democracy is fake? >> i think lot of people are upset about it. that's why they're in political turmoil leading to teresa may leaveing on friday. unless this thing really happens on october 31st and brexit

happens we'll see another general election here in the u.k. and then who knows. we might have nagel farage. the conservative party will be over. which is sad. it's over for the conservative party if they can't deliver on this. >> tucker: obviously, our country was once a colony of the country. you can't help when you visit there maybe applicable lessons. is there anything you've seen that informs the way you feel about our country? >> as much as we complain about our representative democracy, the will of the people is too hard to enact and we're too distant from washington. that's true. compared to the parliamentary system, it moved at a glacial

pace. it's difficult to break through as farage did with the brexit party. be glad you're in the united states where every four years you have meaningful choice. they're having a heck of time here. >> tucker: i don't think anybody understands the parliamentary system. i don't. >> i'm off to normandy tomorrow. >> tucker: i do understand that. it's wonderful. thank you laura ingraham. we'll be interviewing the president from normandy france. you can see interview thursday 10:00 p.m. the left says you deserve destruction if you make a viral video mocking nancy pelosi. what if you actually work for donald trump? you deserving solitary confinement in prison. one former campaign staffer is getting that tonight.

♪ >> tucker: welcome at "the daily beast" and cnn and other arbiters of virtue have decided the biggest threat this country faces is pretty clear. ordinary people expressing their political opinions. that is why random video found, humiliated and destroyed. all of these outlets also consistently tell us that racism is america's biggest problem. they are hunting for racist who need to be destroyed for single wayward word or thoughts from a decade ago, yearbook page from 1973. some tweet you sent ten years ago. they will find you and destroy you. of course, in reality america is not a racist country. it is a really nice country and the press does not care about

people who are racist. when they emerge they resident -- they -- here is one, sarah rall just days ago tweeted this. white people have done everything to make my life miserable yet i'm not supposed to hate white people? that would be a rhetorical question, she obviously does and she also said the american flag, our flag makes her sick. now, how honest do you want to be? if she is tweeting about the mexican flag or tweeting about immigrants or trump supporter's making videos, she would be a national celebrity and not in a good way. but she's not. she is just a racist who hates white people in the press doesn't care about that at all. you know what they do care about? paul manafort, a very dangerous man. 70 years old. whoever's crimes may or may not have been, he's obviously not a threat to anyone. he is in poor health.

right now manafort facing criminal charges in the state of new york so prosecutors have decided to hold him in solitary confinement at rikers island. one of the worst attentional facilities in the world. they don't need to do that. they are doing it because they can, because they want to hurt him and torture him. mona fort will be there for his own safety which if you think about is a pretty amazing admission, they are telling us they have riled people up so much that people may render a 70-year-old man because they believe the propaganda asia, russia but of course the real motivation is not a mystery but just cruelty. the left standard if you support politicians they don't like, you deserve to be destroyed. sending manafort to prison is not enough. he is to suffer as much as possible. a lot about suffering from a former advisor to the trump campaign entrance is tonight. michael, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> tucker: what is the message?

>> the messages you better not do anything against the left, you, me, anybody watching. i understand that there are real claims alleged here and there will be a trail in new york. but we have no idea when the trial date will be. at the transfer paul manafort they are now is only for torture, to torture him. because you don't transfer federal prisoners to states until just before their trial. i've actually never heard of him before. so to transfer him now and to put them into solitary confinement in the deepest, darkest hole the united states has on the mainland timmy's mental torture torture. >> tucker: so he is not charged with security crimes or betraying the country in any way. he is charged with as far as i remember not registering, tax evasion which it sounds like he committed to me and pull statements of banks. he's not charged with bank robbery or stealing from banks but lying. have you ever heard of anybody

charged with those pretty bad crimes with salt -- despite spending the rest of life in prison? >> michael: it is a unique spot, new york. in new york, politics is a crime scene from the very beginning. we have the most corrupt state government and the united states. our attorney the new york attorney general is going after donald trump. the new york city prosecutor simon vance is after paul manafort. the new york state legislature task which we are calling the manafort law just ten days ago making jeopardy legal and they did it to go after paul manafort. the way it is written, you have jeopardy. but at the same time, there are states that pretend that they can prosecute someone prosecuting on there that federal law under the same state law. they appear to be the same crime they are charging paul manafort with.

they are only doing it just in case the president pardons him, which he should work commute a sentence, they want to put him in jail because new york state, our politics is a crime scene. it doesn't matter if it is about donald trump. they will break the law and they will change the law so they don't have to break it in order to go double jeopardy on paul manafort. >> tucker: so if manafort had not served just for a couple of months, as i remember, several months has trump's campaign manager, where would he be? would he be rikers island in solitary do you think? >> michael: he was investigated by the fbi or his work in ukraine and they drop the case until he became trump's campaign chairman. then they reopened it. you know, paul manafort may have committed some financial crimes, putting a little bit of money overseas, but in reality, the vast majority of the money he made he paid taxes on it. the vast majority of it. you can't commit crimes, you cannot commit financial crimes
