♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." hurricane dorian spent today demonstrating the bahamas, if you saw the pictures you know how awful it really was. now the storm is coming here to make landfall in the carolinas. we will be tracking it throughout the night on fox. but first a major shift in policy is that everyone should be paying attention to. yesterday walmart which is the world's largest retailer announced it's not taking sides in the gun debate. the company announced it will no longer sell handgun ammunition and it stores nor will it stop, rifle rounds that can be "also used in large capacity clips on military style weapons."

then the company went further than that. doug mcmillon, the ceo, issued a statement calling on congress to ban many semiautomatic rifles and americans has as well as to seize firearms from some americans who have not been convicted of a crime or even charged with anything. for a company that operates primarily in rural america, all of this was a big step. how do rural americans feel about it? we can only guess at that, there's not a lot of polling going on in montana or roxbury, maine. but in the most expensive parts of new york and los angeles all the smart people were deeply impressed and they love walmart now. >> you know, good for walmart for doing this. these are weapons of war. >> may be what's happening as walmart is listening to its own customers and the american people, not only in stores but in society. >> you have businesses being able to enact in a more enlightened than government way

than walmart does. >> walmart announced the status quo is unacceptable. >> i was happily surprised, i think it's a momentous decision, a watershed moment. >> tucker: so now walmart is now more "enlightened than government is" as liberals. and that's a fascinating turn around for years to remember walmart was the topic of coordinated attacks from the left. progressives use to attack the company for destroying small-town america and exploiting workers. the company never really change the way it does business and yet, somehow the left has mostly stopped attacking them. how did that happen? part of the answer is that liberals got rich and then lost interest in economics. they adopted identity issues instead. but walmart figured out i could buy immunity from criticism from the left by melting left wing pieties, which is all it takes. sounding woke and they will leave you alone. notice that walmart plans to sell the remainder of its ar-15

ammunition so this could really be about saving lives obviously. it's about the money, it's only about the money, and that's not a surprise because there is a lot of money at stake. i revenue walmart is the largest in the world. the walton family collectively is worth more than $150 billion. how did they get so rich? selling foreign goods to domestic consumers. cheap chinese garbage, which is that american manufacturers could never match. according from one study, america actually lost 400,000 jobs thanks to walmart's reliance on chinese imports, and it shows. is what many american towns look like today thanks to walmart. here are some of the gleaming new city is that the communist chinese government but with the prophets. look at that. don't you wish we had that? we don't. at times, walmarts sold the goods at a loss just long enough

to drive american competitors out of business completely. smaller retailers and the jobs they provided just vanished. in many places walmart became one of the few remaining employers. as of today with more than one at a half-million americans at one time work at walmart and it's not by and large an improvement over what we had before and it's not getting better. in 2005, the majority work part-time. why? if walmart keeps employees are as enough they can avoid paying them benefits. people can't live like that and walmart knows it but they know the federal government or you taxpayers will subsidize low wages with health care benefits. in other words you are working so the walton family won't have to play their employees enough to live. that's happening right now but we are not talking about it because walmart is now pushing gun control. but go back and let's talk about what's happening. the company is more responsible fothan any company for destroyig

and degrading north america. the same people who pushed the appalling walk lie that brightly colored plastic from china will make us happy, that company is now lecturing normal americans, the americans they have heard, about how immoral they are for daring to protect themselves with firearms. that's what they are saying. everyone in washington, new york and los angeles is plotting them as they do it. it's not a good sign. victor davis hanson is a senior fellow and joins us. professor, does it worry you that the biggest american corporation can work against one of our constitutionally protected rights in the left applauds? do you think the left for the plot of walmart made it harder for people to vote or were tried by a jury, do you think that was a good thing? >> i am worried about it because we have all these constitutional protected rights, the right to free speech and the right to

bear arms in the second amendment but if you can't actually actualize them they don't mean much. i'm a professor and if i go on campus and teach a class or give a lecture and i criticize partial-birth abortion or climate change, i'm going to have a problem. i won't have full rights of free speech and people -- if they can't go to a rural walmart and buy ammunition for a legal gun to protect their families than they don't have full use of the second amendment. the problem i think tucker is that walmart told us, and i'm speaking as a rural american, that what damage we did to local commerce is balanced by giving cheap, affordable goods to the middle class, and that's okay. but once they venture into cosmic morality, don't full yourself. it's a bottom business line and they made a business decision that what customers they will lose in rural america is more than offset by what you said virtually, the wealthy liberal cosmopolitan stores but also they feel may be people will go

shop more of walmart now that they are politically correct. when you juxtapose this in cosmic morality then you have to ask yourself, they are the largest importer of chinese goods and actual dollar amounts of any retailer. percentagewise maybe not quite as much as target or costco but there is a lot of people in reeducation camps in china, they have surveillance of average citizens and there's no human rights. they steal patents, copyright, they dump and manipulate currency and they've hollowed out the interior. are we going to see walmart say, you know what? just as we have taken a courageous stand about the second amendment and we want to curb gun violence, now we will curtail our purchase of china. the final thing is, this is what we do now in america. the virtual virtue single about problems that we can't really understand or solve and that sort of psychological recompense. so if you want to stop gun

violence and you are worried about that 14,000 people are killed every day, 96% are killed with handguns and another 95% are not lost in mass shootings of four or more people. they are intercity used using illegal handguns. so walmart can say, we need laws that make it really tough for thanex-felon or someone with a record to have a handgun in his possession, or commit a felony. or we want longer prison sentences for people who shoot people. you can't do that because of the political firestorm. that might save inner-city youth but they pick and choose selectively to virtue of a signal of morality and it's often an existential problem they have no clue how to handle. >> tucker: i'm fascinated by what you said that the left -- not just the left but our ruling class. they intentionally seek problems that cannot be solved, such as

climate, to focus their attention on and then at the same time ignore solvable problems, potentially? >> i called that once in an article but bloomberg sent it on. when mayor bloomberg could get the snow off the streets of new york then he started lecturing everybody about supersized coca-cola's and, we see that in california with gavin newsom and others, they talk about the dangers of dogs chasing cougars or plastic straws because they don't have a clue how to get 300,000 people off the streets that are using drugs and it. that's a dangerous thing, and social media encourages it. we are also careful to offer advice about a misdemeanor because we don't have a clue about the felony. it's a very courageous decision. >> tucker: you set up our next segment more skillfully than i ever could and i appreciate that. we are about to have that exact

conversation. >> tucker: is a case in point, san francisco, the city plagued with massive problems, huge problems. huge homeless population, human waste tied on sidewalks, car break-ins at the highest level of the country. the city government doesn't care about that, they have other priorities including this week the board of supervisors and labeled the national rifle association of domestic terror organization. >> supervisor kevin stephanie wrote the scathing declaration reading in part "the national rifle association spreads propaganda that missed some forms and needs to deceive the public about the dangers of gun violence. >> the nra has a coming to them and i will do everything i possibly can to call them out on what they are which is a domestic terrorist organization. >> tucker: at the irony of courses at the bay area as a headquarters of antifa. kenny pavlovich is an editor at

townhall.com. kitty, very simple question. who has killed more, i would ask you? for judges in san francisco that have let heroin dealers back into san francisco. >> let's not forget the illegal alien that uses the gun to kill skate slightly illegally. i think with all these smears that have been thrown at the nra over the last couple months but especially in recent times i think it's important to talk about what the nra is and what it actually does. the nra was founded in 1871 and it was one of the oldest civil rights organizations in america. charlton heston who went on to be honorary president marched with martin luther king jr. and was standing on the member lincoln memorial steps when he gave his "i have a dream" speech. roy ennis served on the board of directors for 25 years until his death in 2017.

i've met thousands of nra members and i'm a lifetime member. these people like personal responsibility. they like freedom. they believe in the second amendment and that is why they are members of the nra. and i think it's important to be clear, people don't own firearms because of the nra as san francisco says in the stupid ordinance that they passed. they own firearms because i have a constitutional right to do so to protect themselves and their families. everything that nra numbers represent. it rural america, individualism, personal responsibility, that's what the left hates and the nra is responsible for thousands of hours of gun safety training, thousands of hours of hunter education training and thousands of hours of work on real legislation that just went through for example to fix nick's program which actually does more to help with the background check system in this country so people who shouldn't have guns don't have them. >> tucker: that's kind of a crux of it.

by the way, a lot of us who believe in the second amendment and think the constitution is worth preserving our routing for the nra and hope that the leadership gets its act together and protects the second amendment because it is important. but the irony it seems to me in this case is you just had a guy who murdered someone, right on the embarcadero in downtown san francisco within a legal gun and leadership in san francisco is like, no big deal. >> leadership in san francisco and the left in washington, d.c., attacking the nra as if it's not made up of americans. there are 5 million members and yes, the leadership at this very moment has some things to work out, that's for sure. but the membership has been there since 1871 and these are people who believe in their constitutional rights and who believe they should be defended and the left is deeper for them. it's not just about guns but what people in the nra represent with, with their values are, traditional american values, and

wanting freedom from the government. taking care of themselves so they don't have to go to the government and asking for help when the government can't be there to protect them. they want to do it themselves which is why the second amendment is so important to them. for san francisco and other politicians to continue, i can continually accuse 5 million americans being terrorists, they are not the ones shooting up schools, they are trying to present them and that's the respectful and lawful use of firearms. >> tucker: so more a lecture over those who preside over violence and chaos and at the most peaceful parts of our country was a lot to swallow. >> will you don't want to disarm people in san francisco. it's feeling great to see you. turns out san francisco amazingly is leading the way as the rest of the state marches off the cliff. gavin newsom signed a bill that will let citizens refuse to help

a police officer in need. breaking news correspondent trace gallagher as this. >> tucker, the democratic state lawmakers sponsor that bill said this could be a quote outdated requirement that can put citizens in an internal moral dilemma. now the california governor gavin newsom, and they could legally ignore police in distress. those estates sheriff association says there are situations where the officer might look to private citizens in situations, we are on convinced of the statute and it should be repealed. others believe this is nothing more than california trying to drive a voyage between the public and the police. the publication law enforcement today points out that nobody ever got charged with not having police saying this is really

about reminding people that police officers in trouble will have to fend for themselves. newsom's office says the law is outdated and no longer in use but remember he comes just weeks after the governor signed a bill giving california police officer is the toughest standard in the country when it comes to using force instead of reasonable force. it's now necessary force. the law is aiming at lowering that disproportionate number of police shootings on communities of color. tucker? >> tucker: trace gallagher, thanks for that. the biden campaign was preparing for you to let down the state of iowa and now they are telling us that you have church could be an disappointment, too. how did he address that carolina initiative? we will tak talk about that whee get back with the great dana perino. ♪

>> tucker: we are continuing to track hurricane dorian tonight and here's an imag of im space. the storm spent two days pounding the bomb is anointed in the united states. i jeff. >> hurricane dorian is starting to a slightly move past the state of florida and move on to other coastal communities along georgia and the carolinas but we are still very much feeling the outer bands of the storm as it moves along. the windows are very strong, the rain continues to fall and the beach near the water is probably

not the best place. in fact it's just a few blocks away from where we are at a nearby beach rescue or it turned out to be a water rescue when a woman checking out the weights got pulled in. but this area is very much proportionate compared to what it -- storms were swept through that area and they expect that number two only rise as they continue to search and recovery efforts. several homes out there just leveled, the picture is incredible to see, so sad to see those images. long road of recovery and people watching those images, that's where it's going. we might have a foot of rain and of course, the worry is the

storm surge. >> tucker: just a few days ago that joe biden campaign was telling us they didn't really need to win iowa. now they are telling us, they don't really need to win new hampshire. joe biden told them that elizabeth warren and bernie sanders have a home-field advantage in new hampshire. so yes. what we have is biden not winning iowa, not winning new hampshire, and it day after day forgetting basic facts about his own life story. as joe biden really a front runner like they are telling us? daily perino might know. she joins us tonight and it's amazing. >> it's really nice to see you. so this is a question that i go back and forth on, but feel like there's a bat breathing between our eyes. >> i think you can sense it and

everyone is politely not saying that's true but he continues to defy gravity microgravity. the national polls, democrats who say who is the most electable and who do i want to vote for, it's him. but these early states matter. remember, george w. bush said you have to have the momentum. you can write off the early states just buy a little bit but iowa and new hampshire are still first. if joe biden is not going to win iowa, i noted this. the last four democratic nominees have won iowa. it wasn't gore, believe it or not. carrie, obama and hillary clinton. on the republican side that's not always true. a lot of times republicans that when i wake don't go on to get the nomination but they are kind of slightly more aligned with the base. joe biden is considered to moderate for iowa for the caucus goers, elizabet elizabeth warres

exceedingly organized in that state. then you go to new hampshire and you think they are a little bit more biden style. but already his campaign is saying we don't need to worry about that. you get down to south carolina and i think they risk people starting to walk away. as you said the campaign is fizzling. his staying power with african-americans really high. one thing that's really different is super tuesday this year, it includes california and is like the first week of march. >> tucker: so it actually matters. >> and we will see if they team up against biden at the next debate because they will have to figure out a way to take them down a peg. because what did they want to say, i'm electable, not just crazy. and i mean crazy in the nicest way. >> tucker: i think they will do that. there's a number of voters that still believe despite everything that joe biden is the most

electable of the candidates. >> i think that right now, there are a top five candidates, or maybe just a top three. because barring some unforeseen surge by one of the remaining candidates, you've already seen a lot of people step up. others are hanging in there. but after this next debate if you aren't there is going to be really hard to say i'm going to be able to win iowa and new hampshire. >> tucker: what we are hearing is that bill de blasio me -- we are expecting to have them on the show tomorrow night so we will ask him that. >> he might be there. will you ask him to do something about the situation in the city? you know he log some hours. be one i don't know, we will find out. but i have some concerns about the city. dana perino, you're the best and

>> tucker: the democrats running for president in 2020 are unanimous on one thing, climate change. they tell us it's an existential threat. >> climate change is real, it's an existential threat to our country and the entire planet. >> if nato was about to come in defense, the biggest existential threat is climate. >> we are going to have to address this to our nation in the world. >> on climate change the greatest existential threat that

we face. >> we are facing a climate crisis with represents an existential threat to who we are as human beings. >> tucker: do you believe any of that? let's put it this way, barack obama is spending $15 million on the beachfront compound in martha's vineyard. would you do that if he thought the seas are rising? by the way, would you fly private all the time as all these people do if you really believed climate change was an existential threat? no, you wouldn't. yet they are willing to spend your money as if they believe it. in that in fact is become a contest to see who can propose the best action plan with a straight face. pete buttigieg is planning to spend $1 trillion to buy climate, sounds like a lot, right? not really. in fact it's tiny by comparison. tony booker and elizabeth warren are planning to spend

$3 trillion. but by comparison to their colleagues that's not much either. kamala harris says her climate plan will cost $10 trillion but even she is in the most generous. that honor goes of course to bernie sanders who is promising to spend a 16 to fight climate change. for reference that's 80% of the entire u.s. economy. richard goodstein is an attorney, a former advisor to bill and hillary clinton and as of this morning a democrat. will he remain in the party after hearing this? let's ask him. so 80% of the entire u.s. economy will go to fighting climate change? 80%. meanwhile bernie sanders will continue to fly private. does that make sense to you? >> i think if the democrats nominate bernie sanders than they deserve the fate they are about to get. the fact of the matter is, actually cite a republican, dick cheney, who had the 1%

doctrine which was there was a 1% chance that a threat is going to effectuate and we treated as a certainty. >> tucker: out of that work out? >> you can laugh but politically i would say that -- i hope you keep laughing all the way to election day, with every millennial things what you're laughing at is in fact serious. >> tucker: i don't care if everybody on the planet has been brainwashed, i still understand science. he takes through a soldier looked on like it always has changes. the question is, is the man causing it and how do we stop it? >> the official climate assessment of people who work for donald trump so that

unaddressed climate change could reduce the size of the economy by up to 10% by the end of the century. so what bernie sanders is actually preparing to spend his child's play relative to that possible -- >> tucker: i wasn't a math major in harvard, in fact i didn't even go to harvard. but you are saying worst-case scenario -- you had to view the economy by 10% at the end of the century. they are expecting to spend 80% of the entire u.s. economy every year. how does this work? >> by the end of the century the u.s. economy will be about $100 trillion, not what it is now. >> tucker: we have no idea what the economy will look like at the end. but answer this really simple question. if people don't actually know what the economy is going to look like at the end of the century -- that's insane. let me -- if you really believe this, that this was such a

massive existential problem, that you would take up the whole u.s. economy to fight it, why are you fighting on private planes, seriously? >> is not a question of taking over the whole u.s. economy. every democrat is saying is going to be a fight between the u.s. and china, who's going to sell to the world that wants to buy, and technology, are we going to throw up the red flag -- >> tucker: that a carbon is destroying the atmosphere. >> that's like talking about donald trump using a sharpie to incorporate alabama. you are talking about apples and oranges. >> tucker: they are telling me i have to change my whole life because this problem is existential but they are not changing their lives at all. they are either hippocratic or -- either we are committed as a country to do something or

not. if you want to give to the economy to china to sell the world then knock yourself out. >> tucker: richard, great to see you tonight. the top politicians, and major celebrities all have a few things in common. they love flying around the world and they love attacking you. the past few weeks the news has been about the fires in the amazon from aids service. you could be forgiving that mike forgiven for thinking those fires were set by the right. it was a park an apocalyptic event. that's another opportunity for rich hypocrites who care nothing about the environment and know nothing about the environment who couldn't name a single burn species who had never been outside giving them a chance to pose as your moral superiors because they care. bill turner is joining us tonight to talk about the amazon fire. so nobody is in favor of the forest burning.

but what are we hearing about these fires that is untrue? >> basically everything. number one for starters is that this is unprecedented. i've seen that on basically every printed education online or newspaper. there were of staff -- failed chicago mayor rahm emanuel said don't ever let a crisis go to waste. so we call it unprecedented. it's not, it's the dry season right now on amazon and this is a standard technique that a lot of farmers use. the fires were worse in 2016 but there was a socialist president, and barack obama was president here so we just let it go. >> so they were worse, is that speculation or do we know -- i'd

never even heard of the fire. >> there are horticulturists that study the amazon if you can see all the stuff online. our own nasa satellite imagery shows that these fires were worse. now here is where the left is being very, very sneaky. we are talking about fires in the amazon but in reality it's fires in brazil. nine countries make up the amazon basin and right now the fires in brazil are worse than they have been in the past. but the amazon fires are about average. so they complete the back into back-and-forth as some times what we call illegal immigrants or undocumented immigrants. if you are on the language thing on the issue. >> tucker: so the implication is that the -- i know what is causing the fires, poverty is causing the fires.

deforestation is down why? poor people don't have to burn down land, they have machinery or they don't have to be subsistence farmers. that's what's driving a lot of these fires, they are man-made but they are not -- regardless of people what -- we want the real irony is some of us actually care about the environment and we can't help but notice our country is getting more letter. more litter than there used to be a nobody cares. nobody cares about the actual environment, they care about rick controlling the of it. >> i love that people and tenants go tell people in rural america had to clean their ear earth. >> tucker: a to court sealed couldn't locate hundreds of high-profile individuals, famous people in the jeffrey epstein scandal. but we ever get to see those

and they ordered this to make sure the documents were unsealed. they are saying the public has a right to know, the press and the print media play a very important part in notifying the public of what's going on. on the other side you have people who are chewing their nails and ready to jump off a bridge because we are talking about 10,000 documents, loads of investigative forms and people whose names are in they are not just in those black books but in the documents. some of them will be implicated and she said she would give a chance for you to keep her name on things. but the rest of you if your name is in there, it's going to come out and that's what's going on. you have the forces of darkness and the forces of good and light who want to know all the people's names. for some reason, even the second circuit said this. they said why is the stuff being sealed? it's like everything else that happened with jeffrey epstein from alex acosta being the

united states attorney, that was a deal of a lifetime for a perverted serial. >> tucker: so if the speculation is true and epstein's business was running an elaborate blackmail scheme against the powerful, then there are likely to be tapes implicating documents. there have already been hints that there are tapes, videotap videotapes. >> you have prince andrew, i think you have it right there on tape. i think that is virginia roberts, or i think it is. but what you also have are individuals who are alleged to be procurers, people who were housekeepers, there are all kinds of people who will be named in this and as you look at the video, get all the young girls who were going in and out of those? i don't know if that's the one with prince andrew but i don't see him there.

anyway people on every side of the globe are concerned from israel to the u.k., to the united states. there he is, prince andrew. and of course, jeffrey is dead and they thought that would be the end of it, not a chance. >> tucker: my guess is they will be squelched. >> second circuit said you're opening it up. and the judge said i'm tired of waiting, get that stuff done. she's a hoot. >> great to see you tonight, and congrats on the book. a new special and the audience loves it and the press hates it, why is that? dave of barstool sports who suffered for his humor joins us next. ♪ (melissa) somebody would ask her something and she would just walk right

still toe the line. and why is he brave? what does it take to say what you really think in a world where people are threatening y you? >> there is a couple of factors but first you have to be secure. you can't be fired, canceled he can do that, he is way better than me. of those -- a bazillion but also it can make people uncomfortabl. even though i don't care what people are saying, hey, dave you are a racist, you hate women, everything, nobody likes hearing that, but you know what, these people. i'm going to do my thing. i will not be silent or say what i think because a couple of people i have no idea who they are who hate their wives and hate fun or chirping at me. you have to be able to separate it and have some, you know, guts. >> tucker: how long is this going to go on, do you think? the precious moment where everybody is terrified. >> this is a simplistic take but we have been saying donald trump broke a lot of people's brains. it is broken and when i look at

the people who hate me. i don't consider myself political. i really don't. if you go look at the tweets and the people who hate me, it is political. within three tweets, within three comments it's all politics. i don't have anything to do with it. the country is so segregated with that. you jump to conclusions no matter what. you don't even listen to what people are saying. you don't think about it as just a broken mind-set. it is unfortunate. >> tucker: have never heard you say a single political thing, i think not ever. i think it is about control. i think they want to control you when they can't they get really mad. >> i've been on this show and said things i guess people say conservative audience would disagree with. >> tucker: yes. >> and i still get criticized and they are not listening to what i say. did you look at the words out of my mouth? >> tucker: thank you for doing it come appreciate it. that is it for us but unfortunately we are out of time. the good news we will be back tomorrow night reliably 8:00 p.m. the
