pursuing. >> martha: general jack keane, a great leader for this country. thank you so much. that is "the story," for friday september 11th. the story goes on, will next see you tomorrow. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." massive wildfires, unprecedented in their scope continue to sweep across huge portions of the west tonight. in oregon, half a million residents have been forced to evacuate their homes -- that's one of every ten people in the entire state. dozens are dead including small children, but the fires still are not close to contain. watch this report from fox's jeff paul. >> months of dry conditions added two days of high winds and hot temperatures creating a perfect firestorm across the west. california is one of the hardest hit with a record-breaking

3 billion acres burned and nearly 4,000 homes and buildings lost so far. a 12-year-old boy and his grandmother are among the latest deaths. the flames are to spreading so fast, it really doesn't give people much time to get out. if the fire is also taking a toll in washington state where more than 100 homes are gone and a 1-year-old boy died as his family tried to flee the flames. and in oregon, more than 35 fires are burning with at least five small towns destroyed. resources across the west are stretched thin. >> tucker: it is awful and it continues as we speak right now. walls of flame consuming everything in their path. untold numbers of animals, homes and as we said, human beings too. it is tragedy on a massive scale but something this terrible happens, decent people pause, they put their own interests aside for a moment, they consider how they can help. we've seen that kind of selflessness before in this

country, this is, remember, the anniversary of 9/11, but there are others for whom altruism is an unknown concept, self-interest is all they know. these people relentlessly press forward for any advantage under any circumstance. they seek human suffering as a means to increase their personal power. these are the people who turned funerals into political rallies and feel no shame for doing th that. as americans burned to death, people like this swung into action immediately, they wanted to television for the talking points. climate change, they said, because these fires. they didn't explain how exactly that happened, how to climate change do that? they didn't tell us but they just kept saying it. in the hands of democratic politicians, climate changes like systemic racism in the sky. you can't see it but rest assured it's everywhere and it is deadly. like systemic racism, it is your fault. the american middle class did it, they cause climate change. they eat too many hamburgers, they drove too many suvs, they

had too many children. a lot of them wear t-shirts to work and didn't in his college, that causes climate change too. worst of all, some of the may vote for donald trump in november. and if there's anything that absolutely, definitively causes climate change, literally over 100% of scientists agree with this established fact, it is voting for donald trump, you might as well start a tire fire in your yard. joe biden has checked the science and he agrees with this. yesterday the people on biden's staff who understand the internet tweeted out an image of the wildfires along with this message "climate change is already here and we are witnessing its devastating effects every single day. we have to get president trump out of the white house." once again, by voting for donald trump, you are causing climate change which causes devastating fires. you, by your boat, have made hundreds of thousands of oregonians homeless tonight, you've murdered people. joe biden's closest friend in

the world, a prominent kite surfer on martha's vineyard called barack obama, echoed that message with his trademark restraint. he declared your life depends on voting for joe biden. hold on a minute, you might ask, doesn't this very same barack obama own a $12 million spread right on the ocean in massachusetts? at a time when sea levels are rising so fast we are about to see killer whales in the rockies -- that doesn't make sense. it doesn't seem like barack obama could be very concerned about climate change. by the way, didn't he go to law school? when did he become a scientist? does seem like reasonable questions. on the other hand, lawyers pretending to be scientists are now everywhere in the democratic party. here for example is the governor of washington state, jay inslee. he's a proud graduate of willamette law school.

>> these are conditions exacerbated by the changing climate we are suffering and i do not believe that we should surrender these subdivisions or these houses to climate change exacerbated fires. we should fight the cause of these fires. >> tucker: so i mismanage my state, now it's on fire, you're required to give me more power. you see how that works. as a factual matter, this is a crock. there's not a single scientist on earth who knows whether or by how much these fires may have been exacerbated by warmer temperatures caused by climate change. all we have is conjecture from a handful of scientists and many politicians, none of whom have reached a definitive conclusion. daniel swaim a scientist at ucla conceded its hard to determine whether climate change played a role in sparking the fires -- okay.

that's what science is. it's gradual, incremental, often it's tentative. we don't say things we don't know for certain, it's the opposite of politics. they have nothing in common. meanwhile back in the material world, investigators have the term of el dorado fire was caused by people setting up some kind of fireworks. then on wednesday police announced a criminal investigation is underway into the massive alameda fire in ashland, oregon, the southern part of the state. the sheriff they are said it's too early to say what caused the fire but he did say human remains were found at the suspected origin of it, so nothing is being ruled out tonight including arson. as always with these things the more you know, the more facts, the more details you know, the more complicated it becomes. serious people -- and there are still some -- are just beginning to gather evidence to figure out how this started and thinking through how to prevent it going forward. at the same time, unfortunately, our media are giving voice to

deeply unserious people, partisan people and they are on television drowning out nuance -- don't worry about the facts, just trust us. the sky is orange over san francisco because households making 40 grand a year made the mistake of voting republican. therefore, you must give us total control of the nation's economy -- the green new deal is mandatory now. watch mr. arson detective nancy pelosi explain. >> mother earth is angry, she's telling us whether with hurricanes on the gulf coast, fires in the west, whatever it is that climate crisis is real and has an impact. >> tucker: mother nature is angry? please. one is the last time nancy pelosi went outside. could she identify a single tree? no one asked her of course. all we know is what she said that climate change caused this -- of course it did that. because no matter what the natural disaster is, hurricanes, tornadoes, acne, whatever --

climate change did it, in other words, you did it. and to repent for doing it, you need to give us full control of your life. keep in mind the person telling us this owns at least two sub zero freezers, each one costs $10,000. they use a lot of energy. and like barack obama, like a joe biden, nancy pelosi constantly flies around the country privately between her multimillion dollar estates. if she cared about climate change, she would be doing that -- she doesn't come another to her supporters. otherwise they would be massed outside of her estates in anger. they wouldn't be trying to destroy the hair salon that exposed her hypocrisy. is not about science, it's certainly not about the earth. these are people who don't go outside, they know nothing about nature. it's about ritually humiliating the american middle class for daring to elect somebody they don't like.

joe biden knows that pennsylvania's would be financially ruined by the fracking ban would be the same pennsylvanians who flipped it read in 2016 for the first time in a generation cap you think they are holding a grudge? you but they are. one of the reasons he doesn't go outside is when he does he has a tendency to show pure, undisguised contempt for the middle class he supposedly cares deeply about. in 2019, he openly mocked coal miners. he suggested they get programming jobs once they are all fired, watch. >> i come from a family where there's coal mine, in scranton. anybody can go down 300 feet in the mind can learn to program as well. >> tucker: "learn to code," hilarious. if joe biden should learn to code, keep us posted on how that goes. there is no time for that, the world is ending. there's no time to pause and savor the deep layers of hypocrisy here.

we are measuring our lives and minutes now. last summer, sandy cortez did the math on all of this and she calculated we only have 12 years left to live. >> the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change, this is our world war ii. >> tucker: that sounds bad but actually it's worse than that, much worse than that -- consider this. just four months after she gave us that warning, she tweeted we only have ten years to cut carbon emissions in half. think about that, we lost two years and just four months. at that rate, we could literally all be dead unless joe biden wins in november which is of course what they are saying underneath it all. on tuesday, california governor gavin newsom said it out loud, science is too stringent for gavin newsom, to western into patriarchal.

he's now a man of faith. he's decided that climate change caused all of this and that is final, he's not listening to any other arguments, watch. >> i have no patience and i say this lovingly, not as an ideologue but as someone who prides himself in being open to argument, interested in evidence but i quite literally have no patience for climate change deniers. it simply follows, completely inconsistent, that point of view with the reality on the ground. >> tucker: i'm not an ideologue but anyone who disagrees with me must be ignored and eliminated, i don't want to hear any countervailing facts or evidence, none. but i'm not an ideologue. people like gavin newsom, they don't want to listen to climate change deniers which raises the central question, what is a climate change denier? it's anyone who thinks our ruling class has done a very

poor job running their states, running their country, protecting the people they were hired to protect and watch over. are we climate change deniers if we point out the state of california has failed to implement meaningful deforestation measures that might have dramatically exploded the spread of these wildfires? does that make us deniers? in 2018, the state oversight agency in california found that years of poor or nonexistent forest management policy and the sea the sierra nevada forest had contributed to the fires. one of the few republicans who still holds our elected office in that state last year called on using the states $22 billion budget surplus -- probably last when its history -- to implement vegetation management because fires obvious they don't spread as well if they are connected by huge forests. all of that is obvious which means you can't say it out loud. the natural world is anathema to ideologues like this.

presumably you're also a climate change denier if you point out that six of the oregon national guard's wild fire fighting helicopters aren't in oregon anymore, they are in afghanistan. instead of dropping water to suppress the blazes, they are busy supplying the war effort that's been going on for nearly 20 years for no reason. how did that happen, and what is the effect of it? those might be good questions to ask of gavin newsom, jay inslee, the governor of oregon -- does anyone even care must make the answer is of course nobody cares about the details at all. they don't care about the lives of the people they govern, they don't care about facts, they don't care about science. it was just last week at the mayor of los angeles eric garcetti admitted on the record that l.a. has become completely third world, which it has unfortunately. of course he didn't blame himself for the degradation of one of the great american cities that he runs, no. he blamed you, you did it.

"it's almost 3:00 p.m., time to turn off major appliances. set the thermostat to 78 degrees or use a fan instead, turn off excess lights and unplug any appliances you're not using. we need every californian to help conserve energy, please do your part." you've got to wonder if you are able to go to his house, which are not, can't get past the bodyguards you pay for, is he following these recommendations? no. it's not about him, it's about the people he supposed to be helping, the ones he's now blaming. he wants them to suffer so that he and his fellow democrats -- even now as residents are facing sweeping power outages in addition to the wildfires, in the meantime gavin newsom has found 50% of california's grid will be based on renewable sources in a decade, that means sources like wind and solar

power. the truth is you can't dial up wind or solar in moments of extreme demand for moments like right now, during a heat wave sweeping california. gavin newsom was asked whether he would consider revising his stance given that the blackouts have left millions of californians without power and positively killed people and that's what happens. he responded this way. "we are going to radically change the way we produce and consume energy." in other words, no, we are changing. the blackouts will continue until morale improves, so will the wildfires, get used to it. california state assemblyman james gallagher robison's paradise, california, -- first i'm so sorry about what has happened to your part of our biggest state, a beautiful state -- my state. let me ask you since your community has suffered, do you blame climate change for what has happened?

>> thank you for having me on, and yes our community is reeling once again from a devastating wildfire. what troubles us the most, what angers us the most is that these fires are a disaster 40 years in the making and you hit so many points in your monologue that are right on. the democrats who control this state to have been in charge of the legislature and hold every statewide office have failed to take care of forestry management in california. we have overgrown forests with brush piles 10 feet high and it's a tinderbox. we have these fires that have killed my constituents, incinerate their homes and left their communities devastated. as you said, we have governor newsom coming to my community today and we were treated to bernie sanders last year when he was running for

president who come and tell us that the problem is climate change, deflecting from the 40 years of mismanagement of our forests, of kowtowing to the big special interests in california, the sierra club who said we don't want one tree cut. it's this radical policy that is the cause of these fires leading to people dying. we are very upset with how this policy has been carried out and the excuses, that afflictions that are made that somehow it is our fault. somehow it's because we live where we live. there are people saying that paradise should not rebuild, they should never live there in the first place even though it's been a community for over 100 years. there are people who chastise what kind of cars we drive, the lifestyle that we live, that somehow that's our fault and not their policies that clearly have been the cause of these

devastating fires. >> tucker: what you're seeing is what you're seeing everywhere on every issue which is class war. it's the people with the most deflecting all the blame downward toward the people with the least and i'm sorry you're on the wrong end about tonight. james gallagher, assemblyman from california and i'm sorry again. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: thank you. the tribute in light memorializing 9/11 in manhattan tonight, of next we will talk to our own rick leventhal, he was on the ground on church street in lower manhattan on that date 19 years ago when the twin towers collapsed, that's next.

♪ >> tucker: hard to believe, but 9/11 was 19 years ago today. you may have woken up and thought where was i19 years ago? rick leventhal knows for certain where he was, he was in lower manhattan as the towers came down. he joins us now to discuss today's memorial and his own experiences they are on church street 19 years ago. >> thank you, the worst day of most new yorkers lives, the toughest day of reporting i've ever experienced. ceremony different today because of covid, family numbers and politicians gathered today to mark the moment the planes at

the towers and recognize the names of all the 3,000 victims of the terror attacks. this year, people stood 6 feet apart, they skipped the speeches and wore masks for the first time since first responders use them to protect themselves while clearing rubble from the smoking pile back in 2001. the 9/11 memorial had said it would cancel this year but quickly reversed that decision after hearing outrage from firefighters and police unions. as you said 19 years ago this morning, i raced down to lower manhattan and i had to run for cover when the first building fell and again for the second. >> there it goes. -- we need to put it down now. >> it was chaotic, phones

weren't working, information was scarce. it was incredibly unsettling because it felt like the world was ending. one of the moments i will never forget was interviewing ari foreman who was on a roof across the street and witnessed both planes had both towers and the unimaginable horrors that followed. >> what's going for your mind? >> i see bodies flying out of the sky and i can't do nothing about it, you tell me what you think. my heart is in my mouth, i pray for these people. there is no words to describe what's going on out there. you see bodies a half hour later still coming out of the sky. america responded with courage and strength embodied by the words of then president bush who joined the workers on the pile at the world trade center site. >> i can hear you, the rest of the world hears you -- [cheers and applause] and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.

>> took a month later i was on my way to afghanistan to cover the brave marines and soldiers fighting the war on terror. it's amazing it was 19 years, it feels like a lifetime ago and it feels like yesterday. >> tucker: i was taking that exact thing, it brought it all back. i can't imagine how you feel watching that. thank you so much for watching that. as you know, it is the 19th anniversary this seems like a

major legal win and we wanted to speak to brett once again and we are doing that now, thanks so much for coming on tonight. do you see this as a victory? tell us what it means. >> thank you again for having me on an first and foremost i just want to say my heart and prayers go out to all fellow 9/11 family members, first responders, military, we love you, we appreciate you and thoughts and prayers are with you all. importantly tonight, we need to talk about a groundbreaking ruling that happened yesterday. it's earth shattering. we are winning, we are winning very hard right now and the judge just granted us -- this is a federal judge. she does not take lightly the fact that she granted us the opportunity to post a 24 witnesses of the kingdom of saudi arabia. we are talking about members of the royal family, princes, the

head of the islamic ministry of affairs. that's equivalent to mike pompeo or ag barr. this is groundbreaking stuff, we are on the offensive for the first time in a long time and i just want to say one thing if i can. i would like to address the president of the united states because i know he loves to watch your show and mr. president, if you are watching -- first and foremost i want to thank you for having us at the white house last year. you're the first president that has ever done that. i stood there and i shook your hand and i look to in the eye and we told you everything we are going through and you said to us keep going, hit them hard, i'm behind you. i'm right with you all the way. mr. president, we did just what you said, we did keep going, we hit them hard and we are at the point now where we have the saudis on the ropes. we are david and we got goliath on the ropes and mr. president we need your help

one last time, help us get this over the finish line, declassify these remaining documents and i promise you you will be a hero, not only to the 9/11 families but to all of america for exposing the swamp for what it is. president bush and president obama gave us no help. they actually hindered us, president obama vetoed, he tried to kill our lawsuit for this horrible iranian deal. you are our last and only hope and please do the right thing, make the saudis see the light. you know that the saudis want to have good relations with the united states and let this be a turning point for these relations and please help us. >> tucker: i'm rooting for yo you. if you ever find out why the u.s. government has continued to hide documents that would explain what happened on 9/11, i hope you would come back and explain it to us. >> if you knew if any of that, we are just flabbergasted.

>> tucker: you have a right to be because your government has let you down. i'll be happy to come back. tonight a foreign companies threatening to destroy the largest salmon spawning ground in the world in our country, it's in alaska. for people who actually care about nature and the environment and that should be all of us -- it's not about climate, it should be about the material land and water. we will talk to a man who makes his living outdoors in alaska after the break.

>> tucker: in washington, strangely, the people who talk the most about the environment are almost invariably the people who know the least about the environment, who go outside the least, who care least about nature and are most likely to deny its imperatives.

but nature is vital, it's the source of so much human happiness. here's something if you care about nature you should know about. to bristol bay alaska one of the wonders of the world, more salmon spawn there than any place on the planet. now a canadian company is trying to build an open pit mine there, and epa review found that mine would be devastating for the ecosystem, for nature. there would be some mining jobs but fewer than you think and they would be automated and time-limited. the mind if built is expected to create jobs for only about 20 years whereas the damage could last forever. at this point, the white house has delayed approval for building this mine, should the white house cancel it entirely? brian kraft knows a lot about this area and a lot about nature, he's the owner of the alaska sportsmen's lodge, we are happy to have him on tonight -- thanks so much for coming on. >> thanks for having me on. >> tucker: tell us about this

part of the world where you live and work, why is it important? >> a remote part of alaska, it's home to salmon runs that are measured by the millions. there are no roads, no real infrastructure. it's in a pristine, completely intact nature. functioning as it has for millennia. it's a perfectly functioning ecosystem with healthy fisheries. >> tucker: you run a business, presumably are not against business, you are in a rural area where there aren't enough jobs, you're sympathetic to the idea of creating more jobs, i'm assuming all this but i think it's probably right. assess the argument that we need pebble mines because the economy needs people minds. >> the economy in bristol bay is driven by salmon and salmon runs are very strong and very healthy. we've got a thriving commercial salmon fishery that feeds the world, we have a thriving sports fishery that people come all

over the world to experience and we've got a thriving ecotourism industry as well. then you have the local people that have lived there for thousands of years and are sustaining the salmon runs. there is an economy that is functioning right now and all we have to do is take care of it and put a big hole, big mind at the headwaters of some of the salmon streams that originate and create this habitat is not really a good idea. originally, i was all for this. i first heard about this proposal, i'm pro-business and just like many alaskans appear, we understand resource development and resource extraction economy appear. so i got it, i understood this could create jobs and this could be a good opportunity. but then, like many alaskans, the more we looked at it and the more we study debt, we found out this isn't the right location. unfortunately this location is too sensitive and i think that

is what the administration has come away with too. they have looked at it, gone through the process, gone through the eis program with the army corps of engineers, come to a final situation where we go there's adverse consequences to going forward with it as planned and we can't allow that to happen. >> tucker: amen. so many of these conversations take place between people who know nothing about it, so we are just grateful to have someone like you who lives there and spends his life there assess it for us. thanks a lot for coming on, i appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: a los angeles county health official has admitted she doesn't want to reopen schools until the presidential election. she said that on tape, we'll could play it for you next. prop 15 raises property taxes $11 billion every year.

small businesses that are already struggling will be hit with higher rents and tax bills. that means higher prices for gas, food, utilities and healthcare. increasing the cost of living for a family by $960. and supporters admit homeowners are next, changing prop 13 and raising property taxes on people's homes. it's the wrong time to raise taxes on californians. vote no on prop 15.

♪ >> tucker: over the past several weeks we've shown you many videos of joe biden voters wearing blm t-shirts terrorizing

people in their homes, democratic politicians and the media who help them pretend they don't encourage this. it's terrorism, obviously, but they aren't for it, they never condemn it. last month in august a democrat running for state house in minnesota, a man called john thompson, made it a little harder to pretend that democrats aren't for this. he was videotaped outside the home of the minneapolis police union president bob kroll. he was threatening him and the city with violence, we played you the tape. at one point, he beat effigies of kroll and his wife, he beat them like a pinata's. [shouting] [chanting]

[chanting] >> tucker: what country is this? it's totally cool according to the minneapolis newspaper, their editorial board remarked that thompson was stoked and amped up. he needs to work on funneling his emotions but we can understand his tou tornadic stye assuming that's a word. up the party said are grateful for his activism. next time, he should beat only one effigy instead of two. he's not alone, he reflects his party and he reflects his base both of which routinely claim to be terrorized in order to justify their own terrorism. that's not sustainable, you can't have a country like that.

no party that tolerates this kind of terrorism belongs in government, period. and today a police union in minnesota finally realized that and pulled its endorsement of several democratic legislators. if they don't want more people like john thompson outside their homes, may be civic organization should do the same. thompson isn't the only public figure who has been letting the mask slip recently, this week a recording surface that showed l.a. county public health director showing the state's largest county won't reopen its schools until -- guest -- after the presidential election. in other words, these are political lockdowns. your kids are pawns of the democratic party, listen. >> they don't realistically anticipate we would be moving to either tear two or reopening of k-12 schools at least until after the election.

it seems the more realistic approach to this would be to think we are going to be where we are now until we are done with the election. >> tucker: officials in l.a. are saying no, that's not a big deal -- they are saying dr. farah are just happened to pick the election out of a hat, but marc siegel is a physician, fox news medical contributor, happy to have them on tonight to assess. >> i call this election infection, the election is infecting -- not the virus. she's not really a doctor. her she calls herself a doctor but she is not a physician. i have three things i want to think about tonight. one is education, the second is public health, the third is money. education, can you imagine starting in november? let's talk about geometry, you start with the square but never

get to the cuba? how about american history? you start with the revolution but never get past world war i? what about public health, what about the interaction between kids? what about having nurses look after medical issues with kids, what about special needs and nutrition? third, what about money. studying the lost parents of being out of work, it would cost $702 billion to the u.s. econo economy. over here in new york we have mayor de blasio saying the schools are going to be open but if you look next to him you see an election count out calendar, he's got the same thing going on here and teachers in new york are saying we've got no masks! we've got no protocol we've got no plan in place, how can we possibly reopen? what are we going to do? we aren't coming in, the teachers say. i'm not a betting man but i have a wager tonight that i would

like to share with you. i have a special date in mind when the schools in new york might open and my bet i want to see if you agree at this, my bet is november 3rd. >> tucker: unfortunately, doctor, i'm not going to take that bet because i think you're probably right. thank you for that assessment. up next, wikileaks founder julian sanchez faces up to 175 years in prison if he's extradited to the united states, for what? why are they trying to put julian a sanja in prison for life? we should know. glenn greenwald joins us after the break to tell us. go go go ♪

obama ministration it revealed all the lies they were telling about these endless wars that the pentagon and the cia were determined to fight. they were embarrassing so they initiated a jeep grand jury investigation to try to prosecute him for reporting to the public. he worked with the new york times, the guardian to publish very embarrassing information about the endless war machine, to understand what's happening here we can look at a similar case which is one that presiden trump recently raised which is the prosecution by the obama administration as well and wher it snowed in for the same reaso that he exposed the lies that james clapper told, he exposed how fair is this massive spying system at the nsa and the ca control that they can use against american citizens. this isn't coming from presiden trump coming he praised wikileaks for informing the public prayer he knows firsthan how these spying systems the edward snowden could be abused
