Is blatantly political. Correspondent kevin corke starts us off tonight from the white house. Good evening, kevin. Evening, mike. Some of the president of austrias own party, including trip roy says he should ignore lawyers go ahead and put that Citizenship Question on the upcoming 2020 census. He says quite frankly because we should. And as it turns out, the president agrees. Fake. Thats how President Trump described in news reports that the Commerce Department was dropping its quest to put the Citizenship Question on the census. A claim seemingly at odds with his own commerce secretary, wilbur ross, who previously stated that the Census Bureau had already started the process of printing the questionnaires without the question. The notice to move ahead without the question came a week after the Supreme Court ruled that the administration could not add it to the 2020 form. Chief Justice John Roberts ready for the majority called the administrations reasoning contrived, arguing that the court could not ignore the disconnect between the decision made and the explanation given. Still unbowed, the president is fighting the decision, tweeting that he had asked the commerce and Justice Department stood whatever necessary to bring this most vital questions and is very important case to a successful conclusion. While theres no evidence to suggest that the administration will have its way on the issue anytime soon, there is evidence the president s Economic Policy are having a surprising effect on the trade deficit, and not in a good way. If the deficit soared to a fivemonth high in may, 55. 5 billion, up 8. 4 , including an 18. 1 increase with mexico to 9. 6 billion. Under 12. 2 surge with china to just over 30 billion. This is what americans need to know. Theyre unfair and frequently unlawful trading practices cannot be tolerated. Its been a very unbalanced relationship. It may improve, and im all for it, but it has to be right on the money. While the Administration Remains convinced a number of trade deals could be finalized in the nottoodistant future, overseas iranian leaders say they like a return to the nottoodistant past. The negotiations and aggressive sanctions establish a dialogue with the west. Today the countrys president warned that a failure by the west to rethink its policies pleads for even more uranium enrichment. We want to express regret, do it now. If you want to issue a statement, you can do it now. From july 7th onward, it will not be at 3. 67 anymore. Our advice to europe in the United States is to go back to logic and to the negotiating table. The president actually had a tweet about an hour ago where he suggested that the iranians need to be really careful, mike, because making threats like that can come back to bite you like no ones ever been bitten before. And one more quick nugget. I just want to wrap up that part about the census question. It would have understood for some time now that there are some Lower Court Judges that are suggesting that they need to know definitively from the department of justice whether or not they intend to pursue this idea of a census 2020 question about citizenship. If one says they need to know by friday. Another needs to know by monday the eighth. We will keep a very close eye on that, but for now, back to you. Mike something to walk so much water about it we can. Kevin corke, thanks a lot. Record high closes across the board after todays abbreviated Training Session on wall street. The industrial average gained 179, the s p 500 finished at 23. Nasdaq jumped 61. There is continuing fallout over the Facebook Group featuring current and former members of customs and Border Patrol and some posts considered racist and vulgar. Congresswoman alexandria garcia cortez, a frequent target on the site, says customs and Border Protection has a violent culture. If the Homeland Security department is investigating. We will speak live with the acting security secretary in a moment. First correspondent Casey Stegall has more tonight from dallas. Today the acting dhs secretary took to twitter to announce he launched an investigation into a Facebook Group that was uncovered this week, discovered by a private group for past and present Border Patrol employees which sewed racist and sexist post about migrants and lawmakers. He called the alleged activity disturbing and inexcusable. Adding these statements are completely acceptable, especially if made by those sworn to uphold the dhs mission, our values and standards of conduct. But the promise of an investigation isnt tempering public outrage. Protests have erupted across the u. S. In response to growing allegations of deplorable conditions at migrant holding centers. It is inhumane for children to be put in cages with no close, no diapers, no Running Water. The federal government however has denied allegations of migrant far less having access to fresh water or hygiene items and Border Patrol has said its doing the best with what limited resources they have, though a newly released report from the dhs Inspector Generals Office says thats not good enough. The 15 page document describes the situation as a ticking time bomb. The Inspector General was calling for immediate action after auditors made surprise visits to several south Texas Holding facilities a few weeks ago. Investigators also took photos noting one cell was holding more than 80 people. Almost half overcapacity. If others show women and children sleeping on the floor with mylar blankets. Border patrol contends that most of the agents are in fact following the rules. Noting many of them are parents themselves and they care about the welfare of these migrant children. Mike. Mike Casey Stegall in dallas. Thanks a lot. Joining us now is acting Homeland Security secretary kevin mcaleenan. Great to have you, thanks for coming in. President trump tweeted late today if Illegal Immigrants are unhappy with the conditions in the quicklybuilt or refitted detention centers, just tell them not to come, all problems solved. Your thoughts, sir . We also tweeted about the opportunity for congress to solve this congress and the beginning. We asked 18 months ago for legislation that would close these loopholes and prevent of the crisis from happening in the first place. Ive been happening with them i talk about the problems of the flow a family of children and the challenge it presents to Young Children in the journey in the hands dangerous smugglers and what we need resourcewise at the border. Weve asked congress for help. It took 60 days to get the emergency supplemental funding and we are applying it right no now. Mike you had some embers of congress visit the borders this week. Take a listen to this and i will ask you to respond, sir. This is them on their best behavior and they put them in a room with no Running Water and these women were being told by cbp officers to drink out of the toilet. They were Drinking Water out of the toilet, and that was them knowing a congressional visit was coming. This is cbp on their best behavior. Mike some of your congressional critics called in a manufactured crisis. Now they are sounding the alarm, what do you say . It was a crisis the whole time. Ive been talking about it since december and congressional testimony seven times. We held a press conference on march 27th in el paso sang the borders at the breaking point. We had 14,000 people in our custody. On june 1st that number was 20,000. So it absolutely has been a crisis the whole time. Thats why it asked congress to change the law and what we asked for emergency supplemental on may 1st that we just got last week. Mike what about the claim of breaking out toilets . Its just not accurate. If we would never ask anyone to drink out of out of the toilet. The women in that cell had access to a 5gallon jug of water with cops right outside the door of their cell, which was not locked. Mike someone suggest if ocasiocortez and members of congress were so concerned, they should have voted for the 4. 6 billion humanitarian aid package. What about that . It took us too long to get that eight and frankly i think its important for your viewers to understand, a lot of concerned about the number of children in our custody. Ive been sounding the alarm for a long time. With 2500 kids at one point in late may and early june in our custody and many of them had been there for several days. On accessible situation by any measure. That umber right now in our afternoon report is under 300 children and Border Patrol custody, and only 20 some odd have been in custody more than three days. The average had been moved to health and Human Services facilities, much better equipped for kids, under 30 hours. Barry different situation now that we have the funding to address the challenge. Mike youve come up through the ranks to be the acting secretary. What are your concerns about what your people there on the front lines have been dealing with and the overcrowding that . Are men and one on the border have been doing an incredible job with limited resources and without frankly a lot of support for months on end. Im very proud of them. Im very proud of the dedication they bring to their duties, the fact that they didnt sign up for this. They want to catch bad guys on the border, stop criminals from exploiting that border and bring drugs into the country, but theyve been pressed into service to really process, care for, address the medical needs, take children to the hospital for months on end now and theyve done an incredible job. Its our responsibility ideally working with congress, but if not, working with International Partners to address this flow and get them back to the priority mission. Mike what about these social media posts . You called for an investigation, what do you want to learn from that investigation . We need to address this urgently. We cant have these kinds of farming though my comments. If they reflect very poorly on the men and women in uniform and do not represent the kind of people we have in the Border Patrol. The Border Patrol model is on a first end and my experience working with them for 15 years, now 16 years since we started the department of Homeland Security, for example by that and their Mission Every single day. A couple of bad apples expressing these kind of views, they need to be addressed and held accountable, but its not representative of who they are. Mike no surprise Elijah Cummings is calling for you to appear in capitol hill. Do you intend to appear next week to i testified in front of congress five times in my first few months as acting secretary. If we are accountable to congress. The appear and do testimony. We are working on dates with the committee right now. Mike how difficult has this job and for you . Obviously a lot of attention, highprofile attention on the situation at the border. An unprecedented crisis there. Hows the job . Managing a crisis is hard. No question. Getting these resources last week will certainly get the situation of people in our custody, allow us to manage that better with temporary facilities, increase medical support with food and supplies. Thats great, my goal is to actually address the causes of the crisis. Engaging with mexico. President trump started the dialogue with mexico that transformed that effort. It weve seen a 25 drop in just the first three weeks of that agreement coming into force. Ive been working with guatemala, with honduras on a similar type of agreement that can change this flow in the region and really address the financial problem of family and children exporting a little and coming of economic migrants to the country. Mike the president s job that they are getting more funds than the congressional democrats, do think the mexicans are really serious about being good partners on this . They are working very hard. Theyve deployed thousands of National Guard to address Border Security on their southern border between chiapas and guatemala. As well as transportation. Theyve been working very well with us. Mike mr. Mcaleenan, thank you very much. Wish you a great independence day. All right, you too. Mike thank you. Americans all over the country are here in washington preparing for fourth of july festivities. There is growing controversy tonight over something that is normally not controversial at all, for july 4th celebration. Correspondent ellison barber is live on the National Mall tonight with the latest. Good evening, allison. Hi, mike. We are at the Lincoln Memorial. If you can see our military vehicles here, there is a military van. They from practicing, preparation set up, well underway. President trump says all of this will eventually make for the show of a lifetime. The last time someone rolled through washington, d. C. , the year was 1991, marking the end of the gulf war. Abrams responded on Freight Train outside of d. C. Tuesday night. Sources tell fox news they will move closer to the Lincoln Memorial tonight. Two military fighting vehicles came in on truck beds in the dead of night. This afternoon they were moved to the front of the Lincoln Memorial. As crews assembled bulletproof glass in preparation for president donald trump. We are going to have a great fourth of july in washington, d. C. Criticism nomadic critics say this is the sort of thing you see in north korea and not in the United States and President Trumps plan speech makes the day for all americans partisan. The politicized fourth of july before he opened his mouth. We dont want tanks on the streets of d. C. A number of groups have permits to protest. Many of the people visiting the mall today said they are excited and dont believe any of this is problematic. Im all for it. On july 4th at 11 45 a. M. Local time, National Independence day parade begins in northwest d. C. The department of interior says there will be floats, military units, giant balloons, drill teams, and more. Then theres the salute to america event at the Lincoln Memorial. The president is set to speak, the u. S. Army band is set to play that traditional capital fourth concert happens after that, and then fireworks. The white house reportedly gave 5,000 tickets to the department of defense, the pentagon said President Trump said, instead invitations. The chairman of the joint chief of staff. Notably absent from the attendance list are the chiefs of the army, navy, air force, and the marines. The white house has said little about the overall cost. According to report in in the Washington Post, the National Park service is diverting nearly 2. 5 million primarily intended to improve parks to cover some of the associated costs. The president tweeting today the cost of our great salute to america tomorrow will be very little compared to what it is worth. As for the military leaders not attending, a spokesperson for the pentagon told fox news that it is not unusual for Senior Leadership to send senior Senior Leadership to send rep as an additional function when they cannot attend because of competing commitments. Mike ellison barber live on a busy National Mall. Thanks a lot. Up next, which democratic president of candidate has the best chance of defeating President Trump .

He becomes eligible for retirement in about three weeks when he hits 20 years of servic service. Many of the democratic president ial hopefuls are in iowa tonight and one of the issues they are facing with the electability question, as in who has the best chance to defeat President Trump. Correspondent peter doocy reports tonight from des moines. Last week she picked apart joe biden. This week, shes at a picnic. Im prepared to prosecute the case. Kamala harris is trying to build on a buzzy debate debut in iowa. Not only am i here because i think its important avidly to the campaign. Its important to me personally to be able to hear from the people here to help inform how i think about issues and how i create rarities. The california senator is closing on the front runner joe biden, whose poll numbers are balanced by voters who think is the most electable. According to a Washington Post abc news paul. But biden has been beat in the fundraising game by mayor pete buttigieg. The former vps Campaign Announced at a 21. 5 million raised in the country of mexico quarter, more than 3 million less than mayor pete. The campaign is so upbeat about his bank account calculated her earned more money per day than anyone else since he started. Since he was only wearing a part of the fundraising period. So far the cycle biden has focused heavily on trumped him up something Bernie Sanders is now doing too because while sanders has less money than the president , hes got more individual donors. In the last three months, we received 1 million individual contributions. 99 of them were for 100 or less. Far beneath burning in the polls, theres beto. Never having a poster. He insist his president ial campaign will be modeled on his 2018 senate campaign, which he lost. I think the best way to address our goal, which is to win the caucus here in iowa, is to hold town hall meetings, to gain the commitments of caucus goers and to expand the electorate that will participate, which is something that we did in texas. The Andrew Yang Campaign is taking a less conventional approach, tying the candidate to trending topics like the bottle cap challenge. If the surging senator harris is doing it the oldfashioned way. Lets take a moment to celebrate that we are a nation that was formed on noble ideals and this is a moment in time and that is requiring us to fight for the best of who we are and those ideals. Harris share the stage of that event with another candidate, Amy Klobuchar and a few hundred people showed up. The chairman of the Iowa State Democratic Party told me thats the biggest crowd theyve ever had for that event. But it was still less than half the size of the crowd that turned out to see a different democrat making a solo appearance in iowa last night, Bernie Sanders. Mike. Mike peter doocy in des moines, thanks a lot. If pentagon report says almost half of female cadets at the u. S.

So shop now mike russian president Vladimir Putin has signed a bill suspending his country of participation in a pivotal nuclear arms treaty. Putins degree formalizes russias departure from the 1987 intermediate range Nuclear Forces agreement with the u. S. This follows the u. S. Notice of its intention to withdraw from the pact later this year. The u. S. Accuses russia of violating the treaty. Moscow denies it. As we told you earlier, irans president s warning european nations his government will take the next step in increasing its uranium enrichment closer to weapons grade levels this coming sunday if they do not offer a new deal by then. This afternoon, President Trump tweeted in iran should be careful with its threats, the increasing tensions with iran or forcing some realignment allegiances in the region. Rich edson takes an indepth look tonight. I think theyre playing with fire. Nuclear enrichment, Ballistic Missile launches. The Trump Administration is building a coalition to counter iran. Assembly countries across the middle east, a region with a long history of complex alliances. Officials in the United States have described some of the conflict there is a 21st century continuation of a seventh century split in islam with saudi arabia leading sunni muslims and iran commanding the shiites. They have been engaged in a sectarian civil war since 632 a. D. Estimates show between 85 and 95 of the Muslim Population are sunnis. If relationships are also evolving her former enemies are joining to counter current ones. Now is the time to stand firm. Today iran supports militias across the middle east and urges the destruction of israel. Senior government Officials Say the threat iran poses to israel and challenged many gulf nations has strengthened a quiet cooperation between israel and its muslim neighbors. The arab states in the gulf are weak enough to see israel is not a formal ally, but as a major check to iranian ambitions. Analysts say while there is still tension between the sunni and shiites, especially in countries like iraq, situation is is far more complex. It is worth country borders are different from local conflicts and authoritarian control of diverse populations. When we talk about syria, the differences are not really driven by sunni and shiite. They are much more the assad regime. A lot of this is the function not of religion, but population growth, corruption, poor governance. Administration officials are pushing greater Cooperation Among gulf allies so there are challenges. Saudi arabia, bahrain and United Arab Emirates are still blockading qatar. Mike rich edson at the white house, thanks a lot. Lets talk more about some of these Foreign Policy my policy hot spots. The Top Republican on the Foreign Affairs committee joins us live from houston. Congressman, great to have you. Thanks, thanks for having me. Mike President Trump tweeting today iran has just issued in a warning. They will enrich uranium to any amount we want if there is no new nuclear deal. Be careful with the threats, iran, they can come back to bite you like nobody has bitten before. Take a listen to President Trump with Tucker Carlson and i will ask you to respond. You cant let iran have a Nuclear Weapon if you cant let certain other countries have Nuclear Weapons. Too devastating. So theyre having a lot of difficulty in their country right now. Hopefully at some point theyll come back and thus they were going to make a deal. Mike your thoughts on the iran sir . I was in the white house with the president when we talked about options to respond to the uav that was shot down by the iranian missiles. Military asset of the United States shot down by iran. I must say that the president exercised great caution in trying to deescalate this conflict, not escalate it. One thing he made clear in the room was that he will not stand for nuclear iran. That is his redline. If iran chooses to cross the redline and get Nuclear Weapons, he will respond in full force and that was pretty clear to me in the room at that time. Its also important to note that iran is currently in violation of the jcpoa, the iran deal. In the European Partners are responding by theresa may and the president of france. French president saying if iran is going to violate the jcpoa, then we are prepared to get out of that deal as well. If mike north korea, the president just had a historic visit into the dmz. Your thoughts on the situation with north korea right now with some complaining that it may have been a photo op. Take a listen to this end i will get you to respond. The Obama Administration was betting for a meeting. They were begging for meetings constantly. And chairman kim would not meet with him. And for some reason we have a certain chemistry or whatever. Lets see what happens. We have a long way to go. Its reality show Foreign Policy. He wants the photo op. He wants a little hit and if anyone thinks this doesnt hurt america in the short term, in the long run, they are sadly mistaken. I have no problem with him sitting down with kim jong un and north korea or anyplace else. But i dont want it simply to be a photo opportunity. Mike was that just a photo op as critics suggest . Look, we have to engage. The stakes are simply too high right now. Under three prior administrations, concessions were made to the north koreans and north korea now has nuclear capability. They have icbm capability, miniaturized Nuclear Warheads that can be delivered to the continental United States. So i really this president is very unique in his Foreign Policy. I think its important we engage, but his unconventional approach i think is very interesting to me because it can break ice and in other ways that have not been done before. Weve seen this time and time it again, these negotiations, whether it be mexico, canada, what he did with isis and many other examples. So i think we have to engage north korea to do otherwise would be really a big mistake. If mike is the leading member inhouse dealing with some of these hot spots around the globe, is there one that you find most alarming at this stag stage . I think irans behavior and its provocation in the straight, with its neighbors and with its land bridge to iraq and syria, into lebanon were all that has blocked, shell militias are and hooking rebels in yemen, poses a real threat to the region. Potentially the United States, if iran does get a Nuclear Weapon. Mike afghanistan, pretty clear President Trump would like to draw down. To think peace talks with the taliban could be successful . Is very difficult. The idea of negotiating with the taliban in and of itself sounds a very big challenge. The government afghanistan, and the taliban are meeting with our u. S. Partners to discuss in dubai to discuss a Peace Process where we could see a withdrawal of troops. I think we have to do that. But these latest attacks he saw by the taliban against civilians in kabul show you how tenuous the situation is in the thing i care about the most is that isis seems to be a bit on the rise in afghanistan. In the group talking about external operations to hit the United States. Mike congressman Michael Mccaul the great state of texas, thanks for your time. Thanks, mike.

It will be like no other, it will be special and i hope a lot of people come. Its going to be about this country and its a salute to america and im going to be here and im going to say a few words and were going to have planes going over our head, the best fighter jets in the world and other planes too, and we are going to have some tanks stationed outside. We dont need to shout to be heard. We dont need to roll tanks demonstrates for the rest of the world to know our strength and our might. If i dont know that these type of displays are necessary. To mike says a normandytype speech would be fine, but. And normandy, the president did bring people together. I think that was well received. And i think thats what we want to see again. Its just a political rally. I dont think anybody will disagree that is a poor use of funds. Mike for that, lets bring in our panel, marc theissen, katherine lucy, White House Reporter for the wall street journal , and broken, commentary writer for the washington examiner. Tom, lets start with you, what do you think about the controversy heading into the fourth of July Celebration . Clearly people have made their mind up. Think most people in the center of the country wouldnt really care but i do think there is a political angle for the president here because the imagery of democrats, especially in the rhetoric in terms of comments on ice, the idea of Border Security being something toxic. This allows President Trump to take a very notable counterpoint. I think the imagery of the military, appropriation of that is a Political Tool and serve the president with his base in the same way that democrats are running on that sort of more hostile position towards immigration. I do think theres a political component here. We shall see what the president says tomorrow and at that point we can make our verdict. Mike katherine, what are hearing about sources from sources at the white house about the big event . I was actually in the oval and asked the president and he is very clear about what he wants. Hes wanted this for a long time. He wants a display of military equipment, of military might. He wants to address the public. This going to be military flyovers of planes. He wants to put on, as he said today i think in a tweet, he wants to put on a big show. One told by people close to him in the white house is that the speech as of right now, they want to keep the speech patriotic. They want to focus it on the military. I did go back and look at his comments at the last two fourth of July Celebrations at the white house where he addressed military families on the south lawn. And he did, and those, stick to patriotic remarks, talk about the military. People will also note that there are times when he does normandy and other occasions, when he really has sort of kept to that tone. The question is at a big event, especially fish protesters, if theres other things going on, can he kind of keep to that idea . Mark, your thoughts . The democrats are clowning themselves by making a big deal out of this. For crying out loud, showed the pictures, tanks rolling down the streets in 1991 after the persian gulf war. New york times reports they bring more Armored Vehicles into d. C. On a regular basis than they are bringing in for this thing. For the democrats to be complaining about the cost of this. This is a party whose candidates collectively proposed 50 trillion of spending in their debate last week and they are complaining about from spending a couple Million Dollars for some flyovers and a couple tanks . Its ridiculous. Mike this comes as some suggest the country could use a shot in the arm in terms of morale. Take a look at the gallup poll showing patriotism dipping most recently this year. Folks extremely proud to be an american has dropped down to 45 . Very proud to be an american, 25 , moderately, 18. Only a little, 9. Not at all, 3 . If your thoughts on the patriotm front . As an american who grew up aboard, abroad, im find it staggering people arent hugely proud to be an american. Freedom of constitution, the power, the selflessness in terms of charity, things like nato. But look, i do think again, the political level here, there is a challenge for democrats increasingly into 2020 because i do think if you out of the cumulative factors there, very proud or proud, still massively outweighs the people are not proud and the more hostile or rhetoric seemed to become certainly President Trump will present it that way, the more dangerous i think you find yourself in a position with identity politics and americans who say you want to be president and you seem equivocating about patriotism . Mike catherine, thoughts on patriotism . I think that reflects we are in a politically polarized moment. I think thats clear across the board and i think the criticism of the changes hes making to the event, some people are raising the idea that this is typically sort of a nonpartisan celebration, draws people from all political persuasions and the concern they are raising is that this what the president is injecting tomorrow will change that. I asked him about this on monday, can you give a speech that will reach all americans and he thinks he can. Again, we sort of come back to cannes to connect to people tomorrow . Mike mark . I think the poll numbers and also the possibility hostilityt shows what he needs to have the celebration. At this moronic New York Times video, i dont know people soccer more than New York Times set america is not really great, we are just okay, because countries like norway and denmark and sweden have lower poverty rates, Better Health care outcomes and all the rest of it. And they also have freedom. The reason they have freedom is because of the pox americana, because of the United States military, which secures peace and provides a security umbrella. If it had not been for the United States military theyd all be speaking russian. The idea that theres some people who need a little bit of a reminder why they noticed it military underpins all the freedoms that we take for granted in this country. Mike final thoughts in terms of 2020 democrats . Some talk about fundraising, some talking about poll numbers. Only a few seconds, but briefly who is surgeon, who is dropping, your thoughts . Very quickly, serially to clearly Kamala Harris has the momentum. The question becomes what happens to those candidates, do they start jumping out as the funding localizes . I think we see a lot of candidates out in iowa tomorrow, there are some new iowa polling suggesting that Kamala Harris is surging. I think also its notable the president made a point commenting on her debate performance, which shows you whos whos watching. Everyone thought this was like a death blow for joe biden. It helped Kamala Harris but joe biden has not dropped in the polls all that much. Mike panel, thanks. When we come back, we catch up with the umpire from a Little League game that ended in a huge brawl that went viral. I felt i couldnt be at my best wifor my family. C, in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. I faced reminders of my hep c every day. But in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. Even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. But in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. Mavyret is the only 8week cure for all common types of hep c. Before starting mavyret your doctor will test if youve had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. Tell your doctor if youve had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv1, or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. Dont take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if youve had certain liver problems. Common side effects include headache and tiredness. With hep c behind me, i feel free. Fearless. And theres no looking back, because i am cured. Talk to your doctor about mavyret. Front slams on his the hbrakes out of nowhere. You do, too, but not in time. Hey, no big deal. Youve got a good record and Liberty Mutual wont hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. You hear that, karen . Liberty mutual doesnt hold grudges. How mature of them for drivers with accident forgiveness, Liberty Mutual wont raise their rates because their first accident. Liberty mutual insurance. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Mike finally tonight, making the right call. Kind of surreal. I never thought. Will make mike 13yearold josh cordova made a call at a youth baseball game last month that sparked a brawl among parents. Major League Umpire saw the video of the incident and reached out. He and Umps Care Charities invited his family to be guest at the Colorado Rockies game. The team met with the games umpiring crew and got some cool mlb umpire gear. Thanks so much for watching to be 27. Im mike emanuel in washington. The story guest hosted by my friend Trace Gallagher starts now. Trace thank you, my friend, good to see you. And you are looking alive at the Lincoln Memorial in washington, d. C. , were just under 24 hours from now President Trumps july 4th salute to america will kick off. Earlier today protesters took to that very spot, ripping tomorrows event for the display of military hardware calling it the military the militarizatif independence day. We dont think bringing german tanks from world war ii is a show of strength. Hijacked the National Holiday so it is a trump special day is wrong. Trace good evening, everyone. Im Trace Gallagher in for martha maccallum. Those protesters today joining a
