doing just fine. adorable. most-watched, most trusted, most grateful you spend your evening with us. good night from washington. i'm shannon bream. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." a fork lift driver made the mistake making fun of one of the most powerful people online. for that crime, the press and facebook teamed to up destroy him. the terrifying alliance between elite media and woke capital. it ought to make you very concerned. but 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 pioneers, radicals like alexandria ocasio-cortez.

nobody had ever heard of the green new deal six months ago, and now joe biden feels compelled to mimic it. 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. >> science tells 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 $1.7 trillion in securing our future so that by 2050 united states will be 100% clean energy

economy with net zero missions. >> tucker: just 12 years to act uninhabitable. who thinks of these lies? actually, 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 borrowed more than just line. there are at least five instances joe biden quoted verbatim and none them are cited. that's another benefit of climate. not only you get to seize power, you get to ignore federal copyright laws. there isn't time! 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. by 2050. as a scientific matter, is that plausible? >> it's amazing he'll eliminate carbon dioxide. it is such a nonsensical -- 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. it is a dumb comment. >> tucker: why? what's you're doing is poo- pooing a dream here. tell me why that dream is not achievable? to create green energy technology, to create windmills you need to forge a lot of steel to make steel, you need a lot of coal. that's an admission. 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 create green technology using green technology. it's circular reasoning to think that they will create a system that is self-sustaining. we need oil, gas and coal. to say we will eliminate it by 2050, it is just 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. but we're not there yet. we haven't cured cancer yet. but 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, when it comes to joe biden, he is the foreign policy expert, but the last time we had tensions like this with a round, 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. i'm tired of politicians who destroy and denigrate men and women who make it possible in the energy industry to have the life that we do. >> 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 started his campaign in pennsylvania. he launched his campaign in pennsylvania. i'm middle class joe. pennsylvania has 300,000 people in work in oil and gas. does he expect them to vote for him? 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

states and 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, it's got to go to people like tom stiere. who own green energy companies. that money has to be spent by somebody. every proposal that involves climate change usually enriches their donor and their donor base or it takes away individual rights 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 a climate denier, it's an immoral category. like being a holocaust denier. and there's no disagreement allowed. >> you remember, ocasio-cortez said it's better to be morally correct than factually right. this is an example of it and it's unbelievable. >> tucker: thank you very much. pete buttigieg is only 37 years old. but according to his many, many fans on cable television, he is already gained a remarkable amount of decency and wisdom. much more than you will ever have. the question is, how did st. pete get so darn good? it wasn't his time a at harvard. it was also service in the u.s. military. especially his service in the 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 also trashed 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. as peter van buren pointed out, if trump's military record is fair game, so is pete buttigieg's. and here is the truth. he did all of six months in 2014 as a rubber 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 he suggests can't be learned any other way. 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 inflating his experience and using it to crush his political opponents. >> he's getting lot of juice out of weak squeeze. 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. look, no one is decries his service.

his work is honorable 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 not to go to vietnam because of his teenage asthma. if bone spurs and asthma doesn't share a nudge in the medical dictionary, then i'm not sure where they do belong together. >> tucker: so many questions. i thought not serving in vietnam, which the left for my whole life has told us was an illegitimate 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 trying 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 opposed to something negative. but 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 actions out of context while ignoring that joe biden got the same deferments, dick cheney, george bush and mitt romney all got out of vietnam. 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. a 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. who talks like that? >> people who served at bogram air force base. they had great fresh bread ther there. a friend told me that the fresh bread was worth the trip itself. i'm sure we could ask pete about that. this is symbolic of the group that he belongs to. out of context, looing at photos in the pure light of 2019. the context speaks to something very different. i would like to ask pete why not

turn that spotlight he seems to aim at donald trump. turn that on some of his peers who had the opportunity to volunteer but instead, chose a college or career. this did not and in 1973 when the vietnam war ended. when barack obama didn't serve, kamala harris, aoc or any others chose not to volunteer -- though they did it in a system that is very different from the vietnam war -- someone else did go in their place. i would like to hear pete ask that question. >> tucker: i like to hear him justify his time at mckenzie. speaking of moral crimes. 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. don't do that! that would be our advice because facebook decides to destroy him and did. we'll tell you what happened after the break. i have a vision correction number,

the possibilities are endless. attorney connected to this effort will be joining us tomorrow night for an update and you want to put that on your calendar. a couple of weeks ago a mildly amusing video made rounds. it's a clip of nancy pelosiew 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 a 911 call to make george

zimmerman sound like a racist murderer. that kind of editing is totally fine. that's journalism. but the pelosi video, by prominent democrat. the person responsible for this abomination must be destroyed. they dispatch end a political activist called kevin pollson. he works for "for "the daily beast." and he did. he didn't just name the guy. he ridiculed his employment history. he called him a forklift operator. he's a total troll. he also describes his criminal record, but whatever, it has nothing to do with the story. he just wanted to humiliate him. he begged not to be outed.

he's african-american and being identified as a black conservative in new york. but he didn't care. he wanted upend his life. so he did. amazingly facebook was happy to help paulson. he said an unnamed employee at facebook helped him confirm the identity of his target. a few weeks ago facebook stepped up banning alex jones and other of "info wars." now we're going further. if you hold the wrong views, facebook doesn't just block daily 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 why sarah sanders and her family were booted out a restaurant in virginia. it's about boston globe columnist encouraged his readers to poison conservatives they feed food to. it's why just last week, roger stone said he was physically attacked while having dinner at an italian restaurant. called a traitor. for two years, the media complained about being called enemies of the people, but the same journalists are happy to taunt ordinary americans as public enemies and destroy their lives. the difference is they think you deserve that. dave rubin joins us. a defender of speech, thanks a lot for coming onat tonight. what's your response to the fact that facebook abetted the doxxing of this guy? >> first up, i'm glad that you

called the journalist for the "daily beast" an activist andd not a journalist. this person is not someone doing journalism. "the daily beast" is not a place of journalism. they have done this kind of thing with me. but we have to be very clear about this.nd the idea of me making a funny video 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 on the internet. the idea that one video went out about nancy pelosi they don't like, so they are going to team up with facebook to expose

somebody who happens 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. powerless 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 ofec images and selectively edited videos and things out there against the two of us.ng imagine if every time that happened, we grabbed a lawyer and tried to expose people.t' if that's the route 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 as 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 company facebook? you give them your picture and some creepy political activistst 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 hazed like that, do we have recourse? how terrifying is that? >> i suspect there's going to be endless amount of lawsuits. think about it. how many videos and memes are there about trump? do you think facebook would havd assisted if "daily beast" wanted to expose someone that's anti-trump?

not that they would ever do that because those are the memes and images that they like. 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 if 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.

the alternative is violence. >> 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 that they can be themselves only if they agree with you. we really all of us need to think about how do we want to f relate to these platforms? do we want to be lat o form -- platforms that are waiting to release our private information to places of journalism that would be more than happy to dox us. anyone watching this, needs to realize it's not they are trying to scare this guy. t 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

>> former broward deputy scot peterson is facing 11 charges. they all come down to one thing. instead of taking action, hest took cover. remember most of the students and faculty killed and injured were on the first and third floors of marjory stoneman douglas. scot peterson is not facinger charges for what happened on the first floor because experts say there wasn't time for anyone to intervene. but he's facing charges for what happened on the third floor. many believed he could have saved lives including laurie, whose daughter was among those killed. >> 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, thes 56-year-old peterson claims he took cover outside the school because he didn't know where the

shots were coming from. 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. yet 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 official. i'm shocked and happy to see that he's facing criminal charges. is there a precedent for this? on 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 as a 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 are trying to do is say he was in the role of caregiver. it's a very specific statutory definition. in that role as a caregiver, he was negligent to such a degree he had a depraved negligence to 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 him the power in 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. maybe we want to, especially when it comes to our policent officer, but that is what they are doing. there is no precedent for it. i do think he will be convicted by any jury in florida. but i suspect on an appeal, cooler heads will prevail. they will say if legislature wants police officers to be criminally liable for inaction, they got to put that in the law specifically.

>> tucker: it's not. and it's not. i guess that's the other question is, there's some indication that he was acting -- where were his superiors? why would this even be a question? why wouldn't his training compel him immediately to run inside? >> that's a great question. i suspect we'll get the answer.g 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. or whether it was a policy. we will find that out. >> tucker: an awful lot of cowards now in this country. thank you for that perspective. protests in europe against the american president who was inam great britain are turning

>> when visiting one our closest allies, the president still manages to find adversaries. one of the groups is employing a large balloon, a large orange baby clutching an iphone. 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 of "the 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 much of a racist and misogynist should be given so much power. >> i think trump is horrible. and a really big threat to the world. >> 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 in a sad country. one not sad person in london is laura ingraham. what was it like? >> the protests were kind of a letdown. i'm glad you started with the trump baby balloon. a that was all they really had. they had a trump on the toilet, saying things like, "where is ms cell phone and fake news." that was kind of funny. the crowds weren't what they were last year when trump was here. it was massive. we're guessing maybe 10,000 people. but the strange thing about it, there was not really a substantive criticism so much of trump. you know, racist, misogynist, he is a bad person kind of criticism. it's more like an orthodoxy and ideology of the left to be against him.

after a while, it just became rather comical. >> tucker: khan who has been in direct spat with the president, what has he been saying? >> trump's values aren't london values. we talked to some actual brits today. people who are born here, grew up here, 25 miles outside the city. the funny thing about london today, lot of brits will say, there's not as many brits 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. representing 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 i new york city or boston. but 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. to leave: they voted thee european union and they are still in. is anybody upset about that? >> that is why there is a lot of turmoil there, she remains in office until a leader is selected to replace her.

our resolutely ignored. 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 rhetoricald 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 was tweeting about the mexican flag or tweeting about immigrants or trump supporter 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, and 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.le whatever 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.r one of the worst detention facilities in the world. they don't need to do that. they are doing it because they can, because they want to hurtrl him and torture him. manafort 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, 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.an he needs to suffer as much as possible. michael >> thank you very much. , thanks a lot for coming on. >> tucker: what is the message? >> the message is you better not do anything against the left, you, me, anybody watching.

i understand that there are real crimes alleged here and there will be a trial in new york. but we have no idea when the trial date will be. to transfer paul manafort there 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,ti darkest hole the united states t has on the mainland to me is just 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 making false 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 badks crimes, 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 statesp government in 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. >> tucker: i thought that was prohibited by the constitution. >> 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 inie case the president pardons him,

which he should, or 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 as trump's campaign manager, where would he be? would he be on rikers island in solitary do you think? >> michael: he was investigated by the fbi or his work in ukraine, and they dropped 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 but of course if you did and you

hadn't worked for donald trump, you would sit at home comfortably waiting for your trial date because you are not dangerous, you know criminal. >> tucker: quickly clarify the mueller investigation gave us a long litany how much he paid for various articles of clothing. is it a crime to overpay for a suit? >> michael: if it's made of ostrich, perhaps but at the same time you have to understand that this is what they are going to do to all of us. they are in this to destroy donald trump and his family, his businesses and destroy all his friends. so that no billionaire wakes up in ten years and says he should run for president. the president's wife will tell him are you nuts? her husband will say, are you crazy? here's the thing in my mind, and getting wistful about this going through this with my family two years. looking back on this whole thing and understanding these people will do anything to get to donald trump. everything. we need to be very, very careful. >> tucker: trump should protect the rest of us from them i should say.

>> if he doesn't do it, who wil will? >> tucker: we are out of time. it is always great to see you. back tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. the good night from washington. guess who is next. >> sean: michael is right. here is this group and you would think paul manafort is being treated like one of the worst terrorists but now they will pup him rikers island in isolation. and the people will not be happy unless he dies in prison. pretty sick. so great reporting. >> tucker: thanks. >> sean: welcome to "hannity," busy news night tonight thee investigation into the russia witch hunt is ramping up in a big way because developing tonight, it appears now in the coming weeks, christopher steele will reportedly beop interviewed by u.s. officials. this is a big deal, a massive development, and this is part of what we have been waiting for. you, we, the american people, we
