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 spreading so fast, it doesn't give people much time to getet out. the fires also taking a toll ino washington state were more than 100 homes are gone and a 1-year-old boy died as his family try to feed the flames. and in oregon more than 35 fires are burning with at least five small towns destroyed. resources across the west are sostretched thin. >> tucker: it is awful and it continues as we speak right now, walls of flames consuming everything in their path. of untold numbers of animals and of course as we said human beings too, its tragedy on a massive scale. when something this terrible happens, decent people pause, they put their own interests aside for a moment and consider how they can help. we've seen that kind of

selflessness before in this country, this is the anniversary of 9/11. but there are others for whom altruism is an unknown concept, self-interest is all they know. these people do not pause, they relentlessly pressed forward for any advantage under any circumstance, they see suffering as a means to increase their personal power. they turn funerals into political rallies to feel shame doingth it. as americans burned to death, t they went on television with a partisanis talking point. climate change they said because these fires. they didn't explain how it happened, they just kept saying it. in the hands of democratic politicians, climate changes like systemic racism in the sky. whlike systemic racism, it is yr fault. the american middle class did

it, they ate too many hamburgers, drove too many suvs, had too many children. a lot of them wore t-shirts to work and didn't finish college, that causes climate change too. some of the may vote for donald trump in november and if there's anything that absolutely, definitively causes climate change and literally over 100% of scientists agree with this established fact, it is voting for donald trump. you might as well start a tire fire inin your yard. joe biden has checked the science and he agrees with this. yesterday the people on his staff who understand the internet weeded out the 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 gett president trump out of the white house." once again, by voting for donald trump, you are causing climate change which causes devastating fires. you will, by your boat, have made hundreds of thousands of oregonians homeless tonight, you have 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 trademarkis restraint. obama declared your life depends on voting for joe biden. hold on a minute, you might asks doesn't this very same barack obama own a $12 million spread right on the ocean in massachusetts? o 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 obama go to law school? when did he become a scientist? those seem like reasonable questions. on the other hand, lawyers pretending to be scientists are now everywhere in the democratic party. here for example iss the governr of washington state, jay inslee, a proud graduate of willamette university law school -- she's explained he's already figured out the cause of the fires, watch.

>> these are conditions exacerbated by the changing climate that we are suffering. and i do not believe that we should surrender these subdivisions or these houses to climate change exacerbated f fires. we should fight the cause of these fires. >> tucker: so i mismanage my state, now it's on fire -- you are required to give me more o 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 swings a climate scientist at ucla, he conceded recently it's hard to determine whether climate change played a role in sparking the fires. okay.

that's what science is, it's's gradual, it's incremental, often it's tentative, it's the opposite of politics. meanwhile back in the material world, investigators have determined the massive el dorado fire in california which has torched nearly 14,000 acres was caused by people setting off fireworks. then on wednesday, police announced the criminal investigationno is underway at e massive alameda fire in ashland, oregon. the sheriff there 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. nothing is being ruled out. as always, the more you know, the more facts and 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 onl television -- don't worry about the facts, they say, just trust us. the sky is orange over san francisco because households making more thann 40 grand a yr made the mistake of voting republican, therefore you must give us total control over the nation's economy. the green new deal is mandatory nowy . amateur arson detective nancy pelosi explained. >> mother earth is angry, she's telling us whether with hurricanes on the gulf coast, fires in the west, whatever it is, the 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, climate change caused this -- of course. no matter what the natural disaster is, hurricanes,

tornadoes, acne -- whatever, climate change did it, in other words you did it. to repent from doing it, you need to give us full control of your life. keep in mind the person telling us this owns at least two subzero freezers, she showed them to us ons, television. each of them cost $10,000, they use a lot of energy. like barack obama and joe biden, she constantly flies around the country privately. if she cared about climate change, she wouldn't be doing that -- she doesn't and neither do 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. it's not about science, it's not about the earth, these are people who don't go outside and know nothing about nature. it's about the blaming and ritually humiliating the american middle class for daring to elect someone they don't like.

joe biden knows thebi pennsylvanians would be financially ruined by the fracking ban he supports are the same pennsylvanians who flippedy pennsylvanianpennsylvania red ft time in a generation. you think they are holding a grudge? you bet they are. one of the reasons joe biden doesn't go outside is when he does he has a tendency to show pure, undisguised contempt for the middle class he says he deeply about. he openly mocked coal miners and suggested they get programming jobs once they are all fired. >>e i come from a family and an area where its coal mining, scranton. anybody who can go down 300 to 3,000 feet in a mine could learn the program as well. >> tucker: learn to code! hilarious. joe biden should learn to code and keep us posted how that goes. but there isn't time for that, the world is ending. there's no time to pause and savor the deep layers of hypocrisy here, stop.

we are too busy. we are measuring our lives and minutes now, last summer sandy cortez did the math on all of this and that she calculated we only have 12 years left to live. speak of 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 we are sorry to wreck your night on a friday, it's actually worse than that, much worse than that. 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 in just four months. at that rate, we could literally all be dead and less joe bidens wins in november, which is of course what they are saying underneath it all. on tuesday california governor gavin newsom pretty much said it out loud, he abandoned science completely and did it long ago. science is too stringent for

gavin newsom, two western, to patriarchal, he is now a man of faith. he decided climate change caused all of t this and that's final. he's not listening to any other arguments, watch. >> i ayave no patience and i say this lovingly, not as an ideologue by the someone who prides himself in being open to argument, and interested in evidence, i quite literally have no patience for climate change deniers. it simply follows, 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 don't wantch to listen to climate chae denier which raises the questioi what is a climate change denier? it's anyone who thinks our ruling class has done a very

poor job of 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 slowed the spread of these wildfires? does that make us deniers? in 2018 a state oversight agency in california found that years of poor or nonexistent forest management practices had contributed to the fires. one of the few republicans who still holds elective office in that state, state assembly when heath flora last year called on using the states $22 billion budget surplus to implement vegetation management. fires obviously don't spread as well if they're not connected by huge forests which act as kindling. all of that is obvious which means you can't say it out loud. the natural world is anathema to ideologues like this, the same

people who talk about protecting nature hate nature, everything about nature. presumablyab you're also a clime change denier when you point out national guard n national guard's firefighting helicopters aren't in oregon anymore, they are in afghanist afghanistan. instead of dropping water to suppress the blazes, theses, helicopters are supplying a war effort going on for nearly 20 years for no reason. so how did that happen and what is the effect of its? those might be good questions to ask of gavin newsom, jay inslee, the governor of oregon -- does anyone even care? the answer of course is no, nobody cares. they don't care about the lives of people they govern, they don't care about facts or science. it was just last week that the mayor of los angeles 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, he blames you -- you did it. it's almost 3:00 p.m., he tweeted, time to turn off major appliances, set the thermostat to 78 degrees, or use a fans instead. unplug any appliances are not using, we need every californian to help conserve energy, please do your part. >> tucker: you got to wonder if you are able to go to his house which you're not, you can't get past the bodyguards you pay for, but if you were, is he following these recommendations? no.me it's not about him, it's about the people he supposed to beg helping, the ones he's now blaming. he wants them to suffer to fix a problem that he and his fellow democrats in california created. even now as residents are facing sweepingin power outages in addition to the wildfires, in the meantime it gavin newsom has committed 50% of energy in california will be based onn renewable sources within 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, moments like right now. during a heat wave sweeping california. gavin newsom was asked last month whether he would consider revising his stance given that the blackouts have left millions of californians without power and presumably have killed people, that's what happens when you don't have electricity. he responded "we are going to radically change the way we produce and consumee energy. "in other words, we aren't changing. the blackouts will continue until moralele improves. so will the wildfires, get used to it. california state assembly men do mcmahon james gallagher joins us tonight, thanks much for coming on. i'm so sorry about what has happened to your part of our biggest state and beautiful state,r my state, but let me ask you since your community has suffered, do you blame climate change what hasco happened?

>> thank you for having me on and yes, our community is reeling once again from the devastating wildfire. t what troubles us the most and anchors ushe the most is these fires are a disaster 40 years in the making and you hit so many points in your monologue there that are right on. the democrats who control this trstate and have been in chargef the legislature, who hold every statewide office and failed to take care of forestry management in california and we have overgrown forests with brush piles 10 feet high, dead and dying trees and it's a tinderbox waiting for a spark and we've had these wildfires that have killed my constituents, incinerated their homes and left our community devastated. as you said, as you were talking aboutun, we had governor newsom

and we were treated to bernie sanders last year while he was running for president coming to tell us that the problem was climate change deflecting from the 40 years of mismanagement of our forests. of bad policies, of kowtowing to the big special interests in california, the sierra club who said we don't want onedo tree c, it's this radical policy that is the cause of these fires in leading to people dying, you can imagine why we are very upset withth how this policy is being carried out in the excuses, the deflections that are made and somehow it's our fault. there were people even saying that paradise should not rebuild and they should never live there even though it's been a community for over a hundred years. there are people who chastise what kind of cars we drive, the lifestyle that we live, that somehow that is our fault and not their policies which have clearly 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 to deflecting all the blame downward toward the people with the least and i'm sorry you're on thet wrong end of that toni tonight. james gallagher, good luck and i'm sorry again. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: the tribute in light memorializing 9/11 in manhattan tonight, up next we'll talk to our own rick leventhal, hehe was on the ground in churcc street in lower manhattan that day nine years ago when the twin towers collapse, that's next. i can't give up on him. on september 18th, one man, one mission, one movie event that can't be missed. infidel. rated r. mom's love that land o' frost premium sliced meats have no by-products.
