only targeted but replete with precise information. a florida group used by immigration and custom enforcement to provide facilities for immigrants caught crossing the border illegally. in disturbing video taken monday during a protest outside geo headquarters, protesters from groups including black lives matter of broward county and never again action took specific aim at the former general counsel named john bulfin. listen close, because you will hear it. watch. >> [shouting]. >> [muffled audio]. >> john, you [bleep]! >> [bleep]. >> imagine public doxxing. just hours later two i.c.e. facilities were shot at in

texas.ju the location of the shots was no accident and the shooters targeted certain floors of the building occupied by i.c.e. both i.c.e. and the fbi .2 heated political rhetoric and discourse as the motive behind the attack. and remember, just one month ago a man with a rifle attacked an i.c.e. detention center in tacoma, washington, tossing incendiary devices that cars and trying to blow up a propane tank. the man was shot and killed by responding a officers. mark?>> >> mark: we know where your children are. that's disturbing stuff. the wave of threats should be no surprise. for months, members ofbe congress, presidential candidates say the men and women of i.c.e. are gestapos for trying to enforce america's

laws. victor davis hanson is a senior fellow at the hoover institution, and we always appreciate his insights. victor, kamala harris has compared i.c.e. to the ku klux klan, and marianne williamson, another presidential candidate, has said these i.c.e. raids are like the nazis rounding up jews in the 1930s. >> yes. remember, mark, that aoc said they set up concentration camps. they have, so they must be nazis. we know what we are supposed to do about nazis. but we are told by the left not to connect violence to political rhetoric in some cases. when trump said the word "invasion," they connectedor to the deaths in el paso. in this case, this was a targeted ambush.

it wasn't a mass shooting, and was the tacoma incident. and it comes on the wake of a lot of people that are running for president who, as i said, want to abolish i.c.e. or reform it is such a degree that it would be impotent, or we should remember, as well, that i.c.e. agents are persona non grata in most states and cities and jurisdictions. 500 of them. there has been a dehumanization at depersonalization of these very heroic people that keep us secure appear the question is, mark, why is it happening now, this spate of attacks? the answer is i.c.e. is starting to turn the corner, because they are starting to deport people who have criminal records, we are not issuing green cards to people who are going right onto public assistance. he redefined refugee status. mexico is helping out. some of the central american governments are feeling theen ht and are worried about exporting human capital. and i think the result is we are about 25% down in crossings, and

up on apprehensions. that should be good news. but we've got to remember where we are in this jacobin party that took over the old old the democratic party. open borders are central to their electoral college strategies. they want to change the electric. they are panicking. >> mark: this demonization, do you think it's a good thing? if you genuinely think as these presidential candidates and democrats, that these are nazis rounding up people for concentration camps, then you are morally obligated, presumably, to taunt low-level bureaucrats with the fact you know where they sleepe at night, you know where their kids go to school. you know what pets they have and what food their pets eat.

do you think it's actually a good faith assault? or do you think it's entirely cynical, victor? >> well, i think it's very dangerous. notice, mark, that while most of these candidates on the left weigh in on almost every shooting, we haven't seen them weigh into any significant degree to stop it. because they could say, my opposition to some of the practices of i.c.e. is not commensurate with trying to destroy i.c.e. offices. especially, they could say that, because they told us again and again that rhetoric can incite violence, at least in some cases. but they are not doing that, it's almost as if they feel that these attacks on the i.c.e. offices o might deter a little t the purview of i.c.e., and that might spike illegal immigration up a " bit. i'm trying to be blunt, but i really do believe that they feel that illegal immigration has flipped california, colorado,

new mexico, nevada, and it's a central to the future of the progressive movement. they are pretty open and candid about that. >> mark: if it flips texas, they win the electoral college now and forever. >> they do. and one way of taking texas is saying that anybody who enforces border security supports i.c.e. is tantamount to a nazi, and if you're tantamount to a nazi, we know what we should do with you. they are prepping the battlefield so people don't speak out against this. >> mark: professor, thank you. congresswoman and want to be revolutionary alexandria ocasio-cortez has done more than anyone to vilify i.c.e., as i just heard from victor, she has accused them of running concentration camps at the border . >> the united states is running concentration camps on our southern border. and that is exactly what they are.

they are concentration camps. the fact that concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the home of the free is extraordinarily disturbing. >> mark: yeah, only if you have absolutely no idea what a concentration camp is. rhetoric like that a makes alexandria ocasio-cortez's base of socialists super happy. but does it do much for her congressional district? lisa boothe is a senior fellow at the independent women's voice, and she joins us with the answer to that question. lisa, i was amazed by this, because she is a rock star to the american left. she's a rock star in hollywood and in silicone valley. in her own congressionalil district, she can only raise

$1500 from her consisting of inch. >> and "the daily caller"ai foud out the number broke down to 10 constituents within her district donating to her. d that being said, her district is a d plus 29 district, which means it's heavily democrat. the likelihood of her being defeated, it would really have to be a strong primary challenge, certainly not a republican candidate. >> mark: right, but it is weird. it's a phenomenon among the democrats that you have these congressmen who can get donations from barbra streisand and ben and jerry, but their own constituents seem somewhat indifferent. >> she seems to be more focused on becoming a national figure. the irony is if you look at thei

obama administration, in 2014, or 2012, rather, they deported about 410,000 illegal immigrants. i.c.e. did. you didn't really hear these criticisms. in the video you showed off the stop, that was an instagram video that alexandria ocasio-cortez did in june. referencing concentration camps. calling these border facilities concentration camps, and that brought criticism from jewish groups, making that insane comparison. >> mark: absolutely. thanks for that, lisa. keep watching these guys for us, because they needed. alexandria ocasio-cortez is not just in a feud with anyone who thinks america should have a border.. she is also in a spat withth the founder of bar stool sports. dave recently made a series of anti-union tweets. he said he would fire any member of his staff who contacted a certain pro-union journalist and aoc accused him of breaking the law.

she doesn't care when 20 millio illegal immigrants break the law by breaking into the country. but when she can use it to shut down a functioning business,nf infractions of the law are more important. dave wants a debate with aoc. she is being strangely coy about that. dave, are you cowering? >> no, i would love to talk to h her and have her debate. i don't think she will do it. we tried to raise donations.o she sent out a letter. i doubt she will step to the podium.

>> i actually don't know a ton about that. and i was making fun of our own employees, saying if you try to make af union, i will crush you, and then these, who have no idea

what we do, jump into the fray, like aoc o-crazy-io. i want credit when that takes off. >> mark: he said it first. >> first. because i know donald is going to use it. i will get credit for that. they don't know what they are talking about. they jump into the mud. guess what? we had the biggest day we ever had at bar stool sports. this was a guy who got dragged out of the super bowl in handcuffs. these people should spend less time tweeting and more time working. then they don't have to worry about the union. >> mark: soun aoc, who can only raise $1525 on her own constituents come has actually, with a single tweet of hers, raised far more money for you. >> minding our pockets, and she is trying to do the same. i don't think she has any clue who we are or what we do. she just dumped jumped in the fray like an idiot, and it helped us. but yeah, it was a good day for

barstool, and if i had a nickel for every time somebody who doesn't know what we do say go to jail, i would be serving -- i guess a nickel, but 100 life sentences. >> mark: that's fair, he's not in danger of taking the list to the supreme court. but barstool sports should be sued for its cricket coverage, which is a little wobbly. dave, thank you very much. it good with alexandria ocasio-cortez. that does deserve to take off. tucker is coming back from his fishing trip. he will be speaking to adam ahead. also, jeffrey epstein is dead, but the long tentacles of his depraved lifestyle stretch on. we willet have a new developmens for you, that is coming up later. plus, breaking news from philadelphia. six officers wounded while trying to deliver a warrant to a subset back.k. they were all expected to

♪ >> this is a fox news alert from fox news headquarters. i am aisha haas name. a tense, dramatic situation unfolding involving a barricaded gunman who is accused of shooting and injuring several police officers. at this hour, we have just gotten word that the suspect is now in police custody. again, this after an hour's long standoff. you are looking at the video of

the suspect with his hands up as he surrenders to police, just happened about 10 minutes ago. all of this happening at a neighborhood of brick and stone homes and a part of the city known as nice time tioga. for a while, two officers were trapped in the same building where the suspected gunman was holed up, but they safely were taken out just before 10:00 eastern time by police and their s.w.a.t. teams. earlier, six officers hit by gunfire, and they have since been treated and released from the two nearby hospitals in philadelphia. one other officer was hurt in a car accident as he raced to that scene. philadelphia police commissioner richard ross telling us at this moment, all of this unfolded around 4:30 this afternoon as officers were serving a narcotics warrant at the house. they had already entered when gunfire erupted. ross says the gunman fired multiple rounds, officers returned fire, there was a

shoot-out. many had to escape through windows, jumped out of windows and doors to get away from the barrage of bullets. and throughout the evening, we've been watching this unfold live on tv, and the suspect continued to shoot at police every now and then from the windows of the home, ignoring repeated efforts by police to try to communicate with him by phone, even trying to have them talk to his own family. at the same time, officers rushed to evacuate the neighborhood, trying to protect passersby from the barrage of bullets, and temple university also locked down part of its campus and several children and staff were trapped, pretty much, for some time in a nearby day care. police tried to push crowds of onlookers and residents back from the scene, and police radio broadcast officers could be heard calling for backup as reports of officers and getting shot continued to pour in here this was a dramatic scene.

dozens lining the street as this unfolded, watching and waiting. some in cars, others on horseback. city police also assisted by agents from the department of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms -- atf. all of this coming as the nation is still reeling from two recent gun massacres that claimed a total of 31 lives in el paso, texas, and dayton, ohio. again, this latest gun violence isn't likely to fuel the growing calls for congress to do something about the accessibility of guns in our nation for just recapping for you, a philadelphia gunman who allegedly shot a six police officers and then held authorities at bay for hours upon hours now finally in custody. this finally ending in a peaceful resolution. no shoot-out. he, as you saw it right there in that video from philly, put his hands up and walked out the front door of that house that he was holed up in four hours.

again, we are going to continue to monitor the events in philadelphia as they unfold throughout the morning. for now, we return you to tucker carlson. >> from my perspective, i believe congress needs to help out, they need to loosen the purse strings, we need more positions -- that's a side issue. go ahead. no, thank you, cameron, for that. that's very insightful, and we appreciate the experience you've brought to it. it looks now as if it will be impossible to b bring a civil oa criminal case against jeffrey epstein because he is no longer alive to answer to it. but his estate is still there to be targeted, and today that process began. epstein accuser jennifer araoz sued his estate for damages, claiming epstein prayed one her from when she was, i believe 14 years old. the lawsuit also targets three of his employees, as well as his

girlfriend and alleged predator and supplier of girls, ghislaine maxwell. monica lindstrom is a former prosecutor and defense attorney, and she joins us now. first of all, on the criminal business, monica, do you think any of these -- any potential criminal cases against ghislaine maxwell or anybody else are actually going to go anywhere, or is that just all going to fade away now? >> i think with law enforcement being so zeroed in and focused on this epstein investigation, that it's very possible that criminal charges could come out against the coconspirators and others involved. there has been talk about the 2007 plea agreement that epstein signed that allegedly, basically gave immunity to his coconspirators. that plea agreement has a lot of issues, and it might end up getting thrown out, so that might be the only hurdle that

law enforcement has against the coconspirators. >> mark: well, you are a former prosecutor, i know i'm just a layman, but that plea agreement reads very wacky to me, that the united states not only cuts a deal with this guy, but absolves any potential house he might have had to. >> you know, out of all of the plea agreements that i've written and offered, never once did i say -- i don't recall anybody ever putting down that we won't go after coconspirators. especially when they are not part of the plea agreement itself. it's almost like they are a third-party beneficiary toe this contract between the state andnd the defendant. but what we do know is that plea agreement really violated the law, because thehe victims had o idea what was going on. so like i said, that could end up getting thrown out, and i think law enforcement is so focused on these coconspirators that they should be pretty worried right now. >> mark: just very quickly, monica, the civil case. lower burden of proof, are they

going to go anywhere? >> yeah, absolutely. epstein has enough money, his estate has enough money, the plaintiffs only have to prove that it's more likely than not that this happened, and in the me two era movement, i think they have a good chance with the jury. >> mark: okay, we will wait and see how that goes bare thanks for that, monica. newly obtained documents suggest that thanks to bruce or, fusion gps, and indeed, the clintonn campaign, may as well have had its own office inside the department of justice. that's coming up next on "tucker carlson tonight." ♪ arlson tonight." ♪[upbeat music]

>> a federal judge shutdow >> mark: a federal judge has just shut down the latest gambit by congressional democrats to advance their impeachment agenda. fox chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has more. >> the decision is a victory for the justice department and a setback for house democrats who tried to link the request for secret evidence in the russia

probe with an outstanding subpoena. the justice department argued and chief justice agreed that access to special counsel robert mueller's grand jury material and the enforcement ofy a subpoena from formerr white house counsel don mcgahn are separate issues pier the grand jury material involves criminal procedure, and the don mcgahn subpoena is a civil enforcement issue.em that means the don mcgahn case has randomly been assigned to another federal judge, and another indicator that the court action could go well be on the 20 election. that timeline matters because it conflicts with chairman nadler's recent public statements about moving quicklyna and voting on impeachment before the end of the year. separately,ef a fox news review found that former special counsel investigators are having no trouble finding new jobs with prominent law firms, and prominent law schools, even securing a major book deal after the nearly two year probe ended with no rush or conspiracy or obstruction charges, mark. >> mark: thank you for that,

catherine. my goodness, that judicial decision is almost too sane to be true. newly released deferment of justice documents reveal how nellie ohr of fusion gps transmitted material from the trump dossier to her husband, senior doj official bruce order. that information then, of course, filled with the federal government, percolated all the way through, and was used to taint to the trump administration with bogus insinuations of espionage before it had even been sworn in. tom fitton is the president of judicial watch, judicial watch obtained those documents. and he joins us now. tom, this nexus between one woman who is working for a group that is working for the clinton campaign, who happens to be married to a senior figure in the government, this is basically classic banana republic stuff, because it is the merger of the party a

and the state, as it were. >> yeah, bruce ohr telling the fbi hey, i've got this information, let's investigate the president. this is after president trump president trump is a lactaid beer he brings in a flash drive with his wife's material on it, stripped from that material is the information fusion gps from the headers, so they were trying to disguise the material. we get that from the fbi interview notes, and then we get this other document you are talking about, which describes material that ohr is a shepherding on behalf of his wife in the clinton operation to his colleagues at the fbi, and it includes a chart. people have gotk to look at this chart, because it's crazy, it's about 80 names, and she tries to tie all of them to russia and to trump. it's like an insane version of . if you saw it on a wall somewhere, and you walked into a room with it, who is the crazy person who created this? this was the basis for the trump-russia fraudulent

investigation, and the fact the senior levels of the doj and the fbi were using this material to target a m sitting president tes you volumes about the corruption behind the effort to overthrow him. this is insane. >> mark: let me ask you a very simple question, you asked for all the documents bear the communications between bruce ohr and this mi6 agent, british subject christopher steele. after he had a been gotten rid f by the fbi. bruce ohr is still palsy-walsy. has there ever been a u.s. domestic election process as interfered with by one foreign national as has been perpetrateo by this british spook, christopher steele? i don't understand why americans aren't mad about that. >> yeah, i think there's an open question about the involvement of hisis former colleagues in te

united kingdom. we have the australian government who is being asked uncomfortable questions about this, as well. this is an international conspiracy against the president. they'd out in the fbi documents, ohr and steele are working together during the campaign, after the campaign, and magically, they hire ohr's wife, the clinton campaign, to help push material to the justice department. you've got to handto it to the clinton gang, they had all of their bases covered. they were flooding the zone. of the doj, fbi, state, and the wife of a senior justice department official. >> mark: and most of washington's intelligence allies in on the skin. keep digging on this, tom, lots more to come. thank you very much for that. this is a fox news alert. a gunman has shot at least six officers in philadelphia.a. if there is a standoff going on right now, and senior fox news correspondent rick leventhal is on the scene. what's happening,he rick? >> well, mark, we are standing

right in the middle of broad street. that is it ohr behind me. we are in the north part of the city. the scene is just a couple of blocks down erie in that direction, you see a massive, massive turn out the police here. this standoff has been going on for some four hours now. there are six police officers who have been shot so far, and three others who were injured in car crashes. responding to the scene. and as far as we know, negotiations are ongoing with the gunman, but mark, i've just been in touch with a police source who tells me that the s.w.a.t. team actually tried to make entry to the location where the suspect has a weapon, has apparently been live streaming as he is shooting at officers of the window and through the ceiling to a couple of officers who are pinned down upstairs. i'm told the s.w.a.t. team tried to make entry and had to retreat because of the heavy gunfire coming from the suspect, who is armed with an ar-15, i'm told, as well as several handguns. i'm also told a girlfriend is

involved in these ongoing negotiations, trying to talk him down or talk him out. but he has fired, by some reports, at least 100 rounds, possibly more, and the situation continues here in philadelphia, mark. >> mark: it sounds like they've got bullets coming through the walls and the floors and the ceiling. stand top of that great. and of course, do stick with fox for any updates as the evening goes on. and for you at home, it's what you've been waiting all our four, the great tucker carlson making a guest appearance on tucker carlson's very own show. it's a novel concept he will be with adam corolla, and that's coming up with tucker next. ♪ bass pro shops and cabela's for the latest equipment and camo during the fall hunting classic sale and event. it's your chance to gear up for the upcoming season at big savings. your adventure starts here.

>> every year colleges >> mark: every year, colleges in america cost more to attend

and teach their students last. so at what point should americans simply stop paying for worthless garbage degrees from schools that function as social engineering propaganda meals? before he went fishing, tucker sat down to ask that question of adam corolla. here is tucker. >> tucker: so your kids are about to turn 13. college is not that far from no now. are you happy at the prospect of sending them to college, or no? >> no, i'm not. especially with the cost of college. and also, i don't know what they will learn in colleges these days. it seems weird to me they need to be shipped off somewhere to go toff college. like, that's a weird concept to me. with all of the information in the world at your finger tips on your smart phone, the idea you will get in a plane and go across the country and go into a brick and mortar building. i mean, you think about

colleges: are there older buildings in the country than the colleges campuses? look, i grew up in north hollywood. the oldest building we had was a kmart from 1974. you go to harvard or a year or princeton, i mean, the buildings are 300 years old, right? as far as this country goes, these are the oldest structures, physically, on our land, right? andla the notion that we are gog to send them there to have their brains a sort of scrambled up by a bunch of people who couldn't cut it in the private sector doesn't make sense. >> tucker: see you just got to the heart of it. you said all of human information basically resides on this device in your pocket, but we are putting them on a plane and paying $70,000 a year to send them someplace else. so maybe it's not really about acquiring knowledge. so what is it about? what is the point? >> i think the notion is ---- te

knowledge part is a little bit null and void, because you can quench your thirst for knowledge about any subject at any time on the computer. so then it becomes about, what about experience? what about social interaction experience? and i would say, drop 'em off at a business, and let them be what they used to call me on the construction site. to start off as a glorified goober, which is the low man on the totem pole. can we say low man anymore? >> tucker: no. >> i don't want to use a pejorative here. >> tucker: i don't know the answer, but i know the pronoun is they. >> low they. not on the totem coal, because that is cultural appropriation. on the flagpole? >> tucker: definitely not on the flagpole. >> low on the telephone pole, let them show up and learn how

to work, let them learn how to interact. >> tucker: do we dare do that? i'm with you 100%, i don't notice a lot of parents in our world who can pay for college. i don't notice them doing that. >> i don't know -- i mean, this notion of, like, you are the first person to go to college in our family. isn't that kind of a bygone era? or this notion -- look, people in my family went to college. i didn't go to college. i am vastly more successful than family. in my dad -- where is dad? i am insanely, insanely more successful than everyone who went to college. so you are talking to the wrong cat. like, my thing is to get to work, work early, work often, get a job, fight to keep it come and see if you can better yourself along the way. but this notion of dropping them off somewhere, in a time when we have made the concession that there is no more brick and mortar anymore. i mean, you want to buy a book, you buy it on the internet.

a dvd -- whatever it is you want, there is no no more brick-and-mortar, why is the last n brick-and-mortar thing literally bricks and mortar's from 300 years ago? >> tucker: has anybody provided a good answer to that question that you've heard? >> no, but i don't -- i think the notion of college is sort of like, when we grew up, you go out to breakfast, they put a sprig of parsley by the side of the plate, and you go, why do you do that? and they go, because that's what you do. and you go, does anyone eat the parsley? no. does anyone want the parsley? no. does anyone enjoy the parsley? no. so why do we put the parsley? because that's what you do. and then at some point, 1988, the parsley went away, and nobody was outraged. nobody went well, where is the parsley? how my supposed to enjoy my meal without parsley? he w just went away, nobody knew it. i feel like college -- i feel like we could do that with college. if you want to be a doctor or an oral surgeon, renal's caveats,

you need training. science, t engineering, whateve. but for just the humanities and general education and all that kind of stuff, that's the parsley by the side of the plate. >> tucker: do you think -- so your kids will go off, if they follow the normal script in about five years. do you think five years from now, we will havee reached the point where they will say to you, i'm not that interested? i want to go work? >> i think my daughter, who is much more interested in the social experience, we want to go. i think my son, who who is a le more, sort of brass tacks, will see that there is not that much benefit in sort of kicking around for a four years and building up debt. so i think my daughter will want to have that social experience, which is, why wouldn't you? i mean, like, it's like fyre festival for four years -- if it worked.

the fyre festival that lives in the hearts and minds -- >> tucker: better combinations. >> every rich slacker out there. but the idea of going to parties and formals and sororities and events, protesting against ben shapiro, it all sounds so fantastic. >> tucker: [laughs] so you think yournt son will tae aa pass on protesting against ben shapiro? >> i think he will probably be on ben's shoulders with a bamboo stick, swatting at antifa. >> tucker: last question: how much of this system, which you basically, in a very cheerful way, kind of devastated, it is the parsley on the plate, wanted and needed by nobody. how much of it persists because of the social anxiety of upper middle-class parents, do you think? >> i think we as we have learned from the usa, lori loughlin scandal come all that good stuff, it's more the narcissism of the parents that are

projecting it onto the kids, you know. i mean, they run in circles where they want to explain that little dakota is off for stanford, and little jade is headed to usc. and it's more about them, and my feeling is that very dangerous territory, in any facet of life, when you start kind of becoming your kid, start getting reflective glory off what your kids have done. i. mean, there is a sports version of that is scary. there's a scholastic version that is scary. your kids are your kids, they are individuals, they are 18, they can vote, fighting wars. don't make where they end up so much about what you and what yk about at cocktail parties. >> tucker: exactly. adam corolla, thank you. >> thank you, tucker. >> mark: a quarter million dollars to protest the ben shapiro. that's a hell of a deal. you should take that. modern democrats want to ban you

time of all, over the course of four hours, he chowed down on a pork chop, a fried bacon bulk blt, a root beer float, and, of course, several fried oreos. cory booker refused to compromise on his vegan principles, so he stayed away from all of the pork and turkey, and instead contented himself with a deep-fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich. of course, as soon as the caucuses are over, democrats will go back and try to get americans to eat soybeans and silkworms. that's not too bad, actually, if you deep fry them. if it works, though, some of them will get rich. al gore is the single biggest investor in the meat substitute company beyond meat. marc morano, the publisher ofhe the excellent climate -- author of "the politically incorrect guide to climate change," and he joins us now. and marc, al gore is basically online to become the world's first post-meat billionaire. >> yes, i call it the first fake meat millionaire.

he is invested, like he did -- now, you go back before president obama was elected, al gore came out with a list of green tech firms and companies that people should invest in. obama puts $2.5 billion, and 14 of those 14 firms get federal money from obama. fast forward, this year, al gore invests in the fake meat substitute, made up of 22 ingredients, including bamboo and potato starch, and now it io the most successful ipo at the same time gore associates are writing reports condemning meat and climate. gore is essentially lobbying for regulations that will enrich him onceon again. >> mark: yeah, we had a lady talking about this the other night, she wants everyone to switch from eating meat burgers to these beyond meat burgers. at pine general store, they have two burgers for a buck, so that's $0.50 apiece. but the beyond meat burger is

$17, so al gore is getting a pretty nice royalty of every one of those beyond meat burgers. >> yes, and if a democrat wins the whitee house, there is going to be a whole fake meat stimulus. the most successful ipo in 2019 thus far was timed on the eve of this big u.n. report. al gore, steeped in politics, regulatory powers, was involvedi in this ipo with his company investment, and then it explodes. now you have the world talking about meator regulation. the u.n. chief himself said the successful u.n. agreement will result in skyrocketing meat costs. that's what they want to do. so what's the alternative? pea protein, that is w what is n this al gore burger, made out of all kinds of weird ingredients like that. >> mark: okay. i don't think i'm going to have one after the show. have a regular burger with me. marc morano, thank you for that. that is about it for us tonight. tune in each night at 8:00 eastern for the show that is the

sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, groupthink, and fake burgers. and don't forget to dvr the show if you haven't already. that's it from us. sean hannity is here for you right now. real meat all the way. take it away. >> sean: thank you. buckle up, a lot of breaking news. we begin with a fox news alert tonight, we have carnage on the streets in philadelphia tonight. a standoff still underway. we have six police officers shot today during a brutal, evil attack in a north philadelphia neighborhood. here's how the police commissioner described the scene. he said this just moments ago, let's take a look. >> around 4:30 today, officers were serving a narcotics warrant on a house on the 3600 block. they had already entered the premises and got towards the rear, the kitchen area, when gunfire erupted. the shooter fired multiple rounds.
