and i mean that and you say that in a non [ bleep ] by i mean it in a [ bleep ] way. what struck me about the clips was not just the fact that they re so consistent with the things that he says now, but the comfort in which he says it. is it it sounds like you re seeing the real tucker carlson and how private he is and lives behind a deep veneer and i feel like that s the real tucker and that struck me, the casualness to it feels that is not the only time he said that. let me just say, that my position on this is like the more information the better and people should hear and tucker could defend himself and own the things he says. like for instance, i hate the war i m not defending the war in any way but just have zero sympathy for them as a culture meaning iraqis where people don t use toilet paper or forks. this is him in 2008. this is after hundreds of thousands of iraqis have been killed.
the coast. we have watched the scene drift in and out of the feeder bounds wrap around the beach town. what conditions do you have now, doug? little bit of a bull, bill. the rain let up and winds 40-50. you saw the live shot a while ago with tucker at the sea wall. it ends 20 blocks to the south owhere i am. this is the last protection between the ocean and the community of ocean city. i started out my live shot on the beach. it is all the way up to the edge of the dunes. we saw 20 minutes or so two young kids taking a dip in the ocean if you can believe that. i told them, you guys are really risking it. and a couple of police officers said you reporting about couple of kids swimming
creating this foam and it can be blown all over the place, into the beach, inland on the sidewalks. so it s actually probably not real tucker, is what i m trying to tell you. we want you to shower really well later. you can see tucker, if you can take a glance around you and get a sense much what the ocean is doing. it seems like it was pounding up against that wall and now it s kind of gone out a bit. the ebb and flow still and you re expecting it to get obviously worse, i guess, as we go on. what it does, we have a series of waves come in, they ll pound away, we have a spray, and then it will retreat and then another band of heavy rain and the waves keep coming back in. you have seen probably seeing what s happening here with the waves. they re rolling right up this wall at the moment. yeah. a mandatory evacuation in
unfortunately, with the system. ocean city being very hard hit at the moment. we re going to bring in sue. the pictures from where you are is incredible to see the ocean up against the seawall. sue, are you here now? yes, i m watching and i think that this is all designed to keep tucker on the air as long as possible because we want to see him completely covered in sea foam. tucker, i m checking the buoy that is off bethany beach and right now you re getting sustained winds of 45 and gusts to 63. the waves are now 14 feet high off bethany beach. closer to ocean city, that gust hasn t quite made it in there. these are all spiral bands. it s a sustained wind at 16, gusts to 38. i think you re in the middle of that 63 miles an hour gust and we looked up this sea foam, a normal occurrence. but usually it happens when there is some other matter in the water. we ve got these huge waves. it can be proteins. it can actually be some sewage in there, rivers and drains discharging into the wa
ocean city since last night. have you seen any stragglers, any people trying to ride this thing out? one or two early this morning, but i ll be honest with you, the emergency officials have been on everybody. they re saying get out of town. the mayor told us earlier, there were 300 people left in the city and i see maybe three of them. so there is nobody here. the last store closed yesterday at 5:00 o clock. there is no food here. it s very quiet. it s a ghost town at the moment. tucker, you say high tide was expected around 7:30. sue, if you re still here, when is this storm expected to pass right over ocean city? we think it s going to be closer to about 2:00 o clock or 3:00 o clock in the morning. we ve just now seen the center of irene come offshore close to norfolk, virginia, or virginia-north carolina. i think it s starting to pick up, just eyeballing it. but that would put it around the ocean city area at the current rate of forward motion around 2:00 o clock or 3:00 o clo
