Former Westchester County, N.Y., D.A. Jeanine Pirro discusses the week's biggest legal stories.
woman subject to online harassment. hating wietds or cops is oh -- hating wise or cops is okay if you say you have been harassed. but she says her comments were not aimed at the general audience. pray tell if saying f the police is about as general an audience as you can get. and someone who has a job at the "new york times" as a wordsmith should know the difference between a specific and a general audience it's specific when it's against one police officer. it's general if it's against all law enforcement and the whole group of them. you know, the bigotry is alarming. a few weeks ago the "new york times" goaded its readers in an editorial to fight the nomination of the latest supreme court nominee great kavanaugh.
quote to take a line from the god father. it's time to go to the mattresses. really? the godfather? it's been a while since i saw "the godfather." but last i recall it meant one family was going to wipe out another. but you are not surprised. you already knew this, didn't you. i'm tired of being told not to believe our lying eyes when the truth is obvious whether it's peter strzok saying he hated and despised trump and would stop him becoming president, but it did not affect his work when he's the one who began counter-intelligence investigation against trump that we are still living with. or jeong's defenders saying there is no evidence her tweets had any bearing on her work. it appears the old gray lady has
scaramucci. good evening. >> congratulations on the book. i read it last week it's fabulous. god bless you. judge jeanine: the president tonight and you and i both know, he has energy from his audience that goes back and forth and i think he's at his strongest when in front of an audience like he was tonight. but when the democrats go forward in this special election tuesday. what are they going to say, the economy is rotten? we are not safe anymore? what are they going to say? >> i'm going back to your book. the playbook is republicans are racist and xenophobic. it's identity politics and politics of division. they can't argue the policies or the state of the economy or rising wages for the hispanic americans or african-american community.
they try to divide and hit you with attacks. tonight the president was unleashing his vintage true self. it made me think back to two years ago back to the campaign. presidents don't get out on the campaign and rally people the way he is. he'll be so ready and so fresh for 2020 and right through the mid-term elections. it's a saturday night, he could be in bedminster relaxing. but he's in a 110 degree auditorium giving that kind of rousing speech. jesse: that's a great point -- judge jeanine: that's a great point. the man is a nonstop work. president trump: a vote for troims opponent is -- a vote for troy's opponent is a vote for open borders. they don't care about the crime, they don't care about your
military and they don't care about your vets. the new platform of the democratic party is to abolish i.c.e. and not worry about crime. really? it doesn't work that way. judge jeanine: i don't know who wouldn't agree with that. >> it's a bad strategy for them. what happened is the president is a human wrecking ball for the democratic party and he set off the alarm bells on the far left. so all of these politicians that want to run tore president are -- run for president are racing towards the far left. i don't want to be a democratic strategist on your show. but it's the wrong strategy for them and they are playing into the president's hands. he speaks in common sense way to common people. when you listen to him speak like i did in wilkes-barre, pennsylvania, my hometown. my dad is from plains, 15
minutes from scranton. i think these people relate to him. he's the blue collar billionaire president. he is able to tap into their joy. he's able to tap into their aspirations. the policies have been phenomenal. it will be hard to argue against what the president is putting on the table for every day average americans. judge jeanine: the gdp and the tariffs. the president said tonight, if we get the trade deficit down the gdf goes up. this your forte. he talked about the fact we rebuilt china with a $500 billion a year trade deficit. it's time we rebuilt our own country. everybody understands that. this whole thing with tariffs, they talk about the fact that it's not a good thing for
america, they are going to hurt us. explain this to me. >> the president's position is the trade system since the end of world war ii has been unbalanced. the u.s. did that to help build the rest of the world after the defend sayings of world war ii. -- with the -- after the devastation of world war ii. the president's point is we rebuilt the world. we helped the chinese. they are the second largest economy. the world has to turn around and allow us to have a symmetrical trading system where it's free and fair trade where their tariffs come down. and if you are not going to bring your tariffs down, we'll raise our tariff to the meet your tariffs. what i liked about the strategy is it's finally getting people to the table. the president of the e.u.
juncker was in town last week. i think the president will eventually get his way. i had two or through conversations with him about that. i'm from wall street and understand capital flows. i'm worried about the tariffs because it could change the psychology in the market. the president has such great momentum. 18 fantastic economic months. let's dial into this surgically with great precision so we don't blow the momentum and positive psychology in the economy. judge jeanine: before we go, he made it clear, he said we make a car and china taxes it 25% when it gets over there. they make a car and we charge them 2.5% which they don't pay. that's real simple to me. >> that's correct. if you sell a harley davidson in
germy. if it's $100,000 here, it's $125,000 there. what i don't want to have happen. any of the great momentum he created for these workers he was talking to tonight. i don't want any of that to be deflated. but he's on course. i think what he did with juncker last week is a great sign of things to come. i predict lower tariffs and more free trade for the world. judge jeanine: anthony scaramucci thanks so much. more from president trump. charlie kirk from turning point u.s.a. crabfest is back at red lobster, with our largest variety of crab all year! like new crabfest combo.

some of the greats. they talk about abe lincoln. honest abe. they say great things. judge jeanine: president trump saying some compare him to honest abe lincoln at tonight's alley. my next guest agrees and he knows how to rule up th -- knoww to rile up the left. his next movie "death of a nation" hits theater and the country this week. >> lincoln was elected to unite a nation and stop slavery. dem gnats feared him, went to war against him, assassinated him. the liberals, the people who wanted to improve society.
judge jeanine: filmmaker and "new york times" best seller dinesh d'souza. i understand you have had some incredible premieres with distinguished guests at those premieres. how do you interpret what the president said tonight, based on your book, i actually read it, "death of a nation." >> we morph the head of lincoln and trump. this outrages a lot of people because they think how dare you compare trump and lincoln. on the face of it trump and lincoln temperamentally are quite different. lincoln is broogd, melancholy and philosophical. but there are situations that are similar. in 1860 an outsider republican candidate enters the race and wins it narrowly.
the moment he's elected all hell breaks loose. the northern democrats openly call for his assassination. and the southern democrats are willing to break the country up rather than abide a lincoln presidency. here we are with an outsider trump who wins unexpectedly, and the democrats go nuts. here we are two years after the election. judge jeanine: and they are still nuts. >> the movie looks at fascism and race i'm to delegitimize trump. they say he's ineligible to be president even if people voted for him. judge jeanine: why is the issue of fascism so on the tips of everyone's tongues.
>> where do you get the license in a democratic majority. the only amaly that works is -- the only analogy that works is hitler circa1923. if hitler were democratically elected we would agot it would be justified to use any means possible to get rid of them. the left is taking that logic based on saying he's a racist and white supremacist. so this poison is used to legitimize the left's violence and attempts to engineer a legal coup. our movie takes them at their word. we say let's look at farb i'm. -- look at fascism. let's look at the nazi 25-point
agenda because they campaigned on that. state control of banks, state control of healthcare, state control of education. state control of religious liberty. no sane person can read this and say this is on the right. then i look at the fascism of the left today. the key movement of the nazis was the party is the state. and also using the state to neutralize your critics. judge jeanine: when the police are standing down in some cases that's neutralizing not just the critics. but it allows the left to go forward with illegal activity and the whole idea of shugd down free speech. vandalizing the property of anyone on the right. assaulting, creating a crowd as maxine waters calls it. >> mussolini has para military
fighters called the black shirts. if you look at what's going on with antifa. they wear black and carry bats and beat up their opponents. these people call themselves anti-fascists but they look like and act like fascists. judge jeanine: thanks for being here and congratulations on your movie. charlie kirk is on deck.

without a diploma, high school is at the lowest level ever recorded. how good is that. economic growth last quarter hit 4.1. you all know that. you all know this, too. remember i used to say they always voted democrat. the african-american unemployment rate has achieved the lowest level ever record in history. judge jeanine: president trump's speech in ohio covering a lot of ground. let's get to it with my political panel, former new york state assemblyman steve levy and chris hahn. gentlemen, steve, welcome to justice. let's start with the economy. unemployment of those with high school diplomas is at its lowest
level ever record. how are you democrats going to counter that one? >> it's a good number. i don't begrudge it. i give the president some credit for it. it continues a trend started with obama. the unemployment was on its way down when the president took over. in 2014, president trump had two of his strongest gdp numbers right before the mid-term election. he still lost seats in the house and they lost control of the senate. those numbers while they will help a president get re-elected do not necessarily translate into congressional wins. congressional wins are about a lot of things. the economy kiss one of them, but it's not a driving force. >> it's great being at your book signing. thanks for signing my book it's an incredible read, by the way. looking at the last year of the
obama administration we had a sluggish 1.6% growth rate. many were saying that's the new normal. it doesn't have to be. president trump came in and said we can do better. we'll cut taxes and we'll see what happens. look what happened. 4% growth in the last quarter. consumer confidence the highest level since the year 2000. unemployment 3.9%. the lowest level in 20 years. food stamps are down. judge jeanine: so, chris, what steve is saying is the facts are the facts. when you talk about 5.1 with obama and he still lost, that's got nothing do with it. it's really about sustainability. what the president and what steve are saying is we have all the factors here for the
sustainability of the economy. and when the democrats say they are going to raise taxes, do you think that helps? >> i agree it's about sustain built. the president's total gdp is a small percentage point higher. judge jeanine: really? read my book. >> his entire 19-month presidency. the last 19 months of the obama presidency the economy created more jobs than the first 19 months of the trump presidency. those are the numbers, those are the facts. google it, look it up. judge jeanine: is that true, steve. >> president trump's administration is the only one since world war ii that did not have at least a 3% growth for a total year. the president right now is on pace to achieve 3% for the whole
year. but look at the other numbers. manufacturing is booming. manufacturing is up to its highest level since 2007. construction jobs are way up. that in -- that inures to the benefit of the middle class. normally the party in power loses on those off years. there was an anomaly. 1998 with president clinton. he had a strong economy. if there is anything that can break that trend, it's the strong economy we are seeing today. >> there was another factor in 1998. the democrats overreached. judge jeanine: that's why clinton lost his law license.
don't talk about overreaching. you want to go russia collusion, don't start with plea, chris. >> if we are going to talk about impeachment, we'll have a lot of impeachment. but democrats might be making the same mistake as republicans did in '98. there was an overreach there and the public reacted negatively. you might be seeing that this year as well which is why democratic leadership is trying to tell all its minions stop talking about impeachment because it can backfire. judge jeanine: chris? >> i agree. it would be a complete overreach to make impeachment the issue and an overreach to impeach unless there was something to impeach about. the democrats have to be careful or they will hand trump a 2020
victory. judge jeanine: chris, i'm going to keep a record of what you just said because i think you believe it. >> i do believe it. i always tell you what i believe. judge jeanine: steve levy, thank you for being on "justice." brandon straka of the walk away project is next. and charlie kirk will talk about this week's most of outrageous statement. still nervous about finding a new apartment?

take a listen to this one made about him after his thursday rally. >> there is no way that anyone who knows donald trump could watch him and not come away with a feeling that the president of the united states is completely unhinged and getting worse by the day. judge jeanine: that's just one of the most of outrageous things i have heard this week. joining me with more reaction to that, charlie kirk. there isn't any way anyone who knows donald trump unless they are bought in some way doesn't think he's totally unhinged. what's your reaction to that? >> i couldn't disagree more. and the american people disagree with that. he's getting more and more popular. here is the stunning thing about the trump presidency. despite unprecedented media backlash and targeting, he's going against historical trends.
usually tho -- usually presidens get less popular in their first term. hispanic approval rating is up 10 points and african-american* approval is 29 points. judge jeanine: if somebody is unhinged with all the hits he's been taking. anybody would buckle and be in a corner. this guy is fighting the fight every day. he gets energy from this stuff. who benefits from it? we do. speaking of that. madonna is suggests donald trump motivate herd to move to portugal. it's a full screen. >> i felt like we needed a change and i wanted to get out of america for a minute.
as you know, this is not america's finest hour, not that leaving america makes anything different or changes anything. >> we as conservatives remain loyal and patriotic no matter who is president of the united states. liberals base their love or lack of love of america based upon whether their team member is president of the united states. when obama was president i was just as loyal and committed as an american as i am today. we believe in our history, heritage and people. liberals like madonna dismiss america if there is a republican in the white house. are you thankful to be an american or are you angry to be an american. many liberals are angry when we should be pouring out our gratitude. judge jeanine: people who hate america so much should rethink
their address. kathy griffin. she is always good for outrageous. this tweet. trump and his administration are the enemy of the american people. charlie? >> the president is the ally and the friend of the american people. let's add some context for viewers at home. kathy griffin about a year ago posted a picture with a decapitated head of the president of the united states and then tried to play the victim 48 hours later that everyone was going after her. imagine for a second a conservative did that horrific stunt with barack obama's head. they would be investigated by the secret service. judge jeanine: they would be taken out in cuffs. >> exactly with a hate crime. we keep on saying the left are losing their minds.
trump is the ally of the american people. the liberal elite, the more they talk, the more popular trump gets. unlike other historical trend, donald trump is getting more popular with time and we are just getting started. judge jeanine: the whole idea of the lowest unemployment ever for people with high school diplomas. with high school diplomas. it's across the board, this positive economy. charlie kirk, thank you for being us tonight. he walked away from the left and he walked right into justice. the walkaway campaign founder is with us with an update on his powerful movement. (vo) love.
people think i'm trash. but they're wrong. today i'm just an aluminum can. but one day, i could be a stadium.
judge jeanine: that's president trump with quite the speech tonight at his rally. my next guest is the founder of the #walk away campaign. he urges people to leave liberalism which he says has become too intolerant. brandon straka joins me. the last time you were here you were on your way to the u.k. and had just become a hit with your documentation of all of the hysteria on the left and the lying hysteria. what's happened since then? >> a lot has happened. the walkaway campaign has continued to grow. it's had an amazing impact. people are putting out their testimonials and it's growing like wildfires, especially in the minority community which i love to see. judge jeanine: the testimonials. do they attest to things that
happened to them or what they see as untrue or fake? >> it's a combination of all these things. we see and hear the stories every day about violence, vandalism and petty and destructive behavior. even in people's personal lives. they are being cut off by their siblings and best friends or saying i support the president. they are losing their jobs. it's crazy. judge jeanine: it's even worse than that. the president's star on the hollywood walk of fame as well as the cabinet member's boat as well as cabinet members being thrown out of restaurants and grossy stores. i had my own issue with being basically thrown off a set on out of a building. >> i heard about that. judge jeanine: this intolerance. do people not understand how un-american that is? >> we have gone beyond
anti-trump. it's play and thely anti-american -- it's blatantly antiamerican. conservatives stood by as they watched the erosion of american ideals under the obama administration. we didn't see anything like this. i was a liberal at that time. i was a obama supporter. i did not see people on the right behaving this way. judge jeanine: what is it you saw on the left that caused you, you are a liberal, you are gay, talk to me, why? and to step out. a lot of people who stepped out, they get in a lot of trouble with the left. >> i think the left has done a successful job in pushing this narrative of victimhood and oppressors. for many of us on the left myself included, we bought into it. i became a liberal because i'm against racism. judge jeanine: we are all against racism. >> right. but i didn't know that. the common idea is people on the
right hate hispanic and gay people, hate hate hate hate hate. this is what we hear over and over again. but when the lightbulb came on in my head, i said i'm here because i'm against all these things, but you guys hate white people and straight people and you hate men. judge jeanine: sarah jeong, the woman from the "new york times," and the "new york times" dug up their heels in. she hates whites, she hates men. the excuse and the "times" bought it, she said i feel like i have been harassed. >> this is how liberal ideology gets ingrained in our culture through our education system and the media. roseanne lost her show. lost her show. but the "new york times" is
standing by this woman. by the way, these tweets go back to 2013. this is five years of virulently racist tweets. they are standing by her because they say she is an asian-american woman so by default she is a victim of racism. the white people she made the tweets about, they deserve it. judge jeanine: when you say five years, the "new york times" says they are old tweets. 2015 is old? what are you up to next. >> we have big things planned for the walkaway campaign. i would like to you have me back on your show so i can announce it. judge jeanine: that's a good tease. we'll be right back, everybody.
♪ keep it comin' love. if you keep on eating, we'll keep it comin'. all you can eat riblets and tenders at applebee's. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. judge jeanine: finally, tonight a big thank you to all of you who bought my number one bestseller. if you don't have your copy yet, run, don't walk to order it right now on amazon, barnes & noble or any bookstore. plus, you get to friend me on facebook, follow me on twitter or instagram. let me know your thoughts on the show in the book. thank you for watching. i'm jeanine pirro and thanks so much.
comes as the administration touts a code, but not great, july jobs report. chief white house correspondent john roberts joins us with the numbers. good evening, john. >> of the president's chief economic advisor, larry kudlow, said today they traded talks with china are going nowhere, in fact, he says the white house says that even heard from china about it for weeks. there were some promising signs of a continued strong economy today, though, even if those numbers were somewhat tempered. the jobs numbers for july came in lower than expected. 157,000, versus a projected 195,000. but the white house one reason to celebrate. pointing out may and june's numbers were revised upwards, and the outlook for economic growth is good for you to speak strong. professional services, an appointment with don, very nice report. but to the gdp model, preliminaries, predicted 5%. i mean, i would be happy with three. they are predicting five. we are off to a good start.

indicated signs of a troubled mind but no troubling behavior that would trigger a call to law enforcement. >> paddock with a high-stakes gambler's bank balance had dropped from $2 million in 2015 to half a million by september, 2017. he had paid $600,000 to casinos, $170,000 to credit card companies, and had spent $95,000 on weapons and ammunition. the report found paddock acted alone. no suicide note or manifesto was found. there was no evidence of radicalization or links to any terrorist organization. the sheriff also said today it was hard for him to even say that shooter's name during the press conference and he does not intend to do so again, adding, "i will remember the act and the victims but i will not remember the suspect." bret? >> bret: jonathan hunt to live in l.a. thanks. an engineering firm assessing

tag which will be given to the soldiers two sons next week. >> we've already contacted the next of kin of the individuals on that dog tag. we've told them that we have the dog pig. but also, again conveyed to them that we don't know until we do the analysis, whether their family member's home. >> that further analysis will include an array of tools. north korea gave locations for where the remains were found. that will be cross-referenced with major battlefield and known plane crash sites involving the 7600 servicemen killed in korea whose remains are still missing. it will also include cutting edge forensic technology, such as stabilized isotope testing of the bones, that can produce amazing results. >> they can pinpoint the geographical region based upon the diet, the water, in both your adolescent years, as well as your early growing years, and that can differentiate very quickly and straightforward whether these are american or caucasian that was raised.

>> when robert wilkie raised his right hand and agreed to to to serve as the next veterans affairs secretary, he did so knowing he was entering a storm front. he is the fourth head since a nationwide scandal rocked the v.a. for years ago, involving secret weight lists, systemic neglect, and veterans dying while waiting to see a doctor. >> this is an institution that has been buffeted by continuous body blows for a number of years. >> political sniping and inefficiency continue to plague the second largest government department that is supposed to serve 9 million veterans. >> when i walked into the building, i heard some of the people who work in this building talking about how bad morales and that was while i was waiting in line for security. what are you going to do to tackle the bad morale? >> i fall back on my military life in order to be a commander, you had to walk your post. there are 370,000 employees in this department, probably 100
bad eggs at about 370,000. i spent the last day and a half just walking around this building. >> doing something he says his predecessors rarely did, eating in the cafeteria with the v.a. staff. in an exclusive interview, his first since becoming secretary, wilkie pushed back on persistent rumors that trump administration wants to privatize the v.a. >> does the president want to privatize the v.a.? >> the president wants to deliver the best care possible. >> which includes giving vets more choice to see private doctors and avoid long waits or long drives to be a facilities while having the federal government pay for it, a program called veterans choice that started in 2014. it's now part of the v.a. mission act. >> it makes no sense to me that we require someone to travel, let's use a state like montana, where the distances are
enormous -- six or 700 miles round-trip. they pass a lot of doctors along the way. we need to bring those doctors into the veterans system. >> secretary wilkie was shocked to find out the v.a. was stiffing some of those private doctors by not paying all of its bills. >> we don't get a hold of what we owe americans who are providing services to our veterans, then the entire system collapses. >> wilkie downplayed reports that he is planning to sign line trump loyalists who used the months since his predecessor, david shulkin, was fired by the president, to purge longtime veterans affairs and staff contributing to a siege mentality. >> there's a headline this week of "the washington post" that you are planning to remove those political appointees who were part of that purge. is that true? >> no. in fact, i haven't moved anybody. >> he did not rule it out. >> is part of any new leadership organization, you come in with a team, you come into a ss, you come into rearrange.
>> firing those who have given the v.a. a bad name isn't always easy. for instance, the disgraced director of the washington v.a. had to be rehired after being fired, even though under his watch, it was found that inventories were so mismanaged that doctors would have to run out med procedure and borrow them from neighboring hospitals after patients were already under anesthesia. >> do you agree with that decision? what are you going to do about that? >> the laws have changed since that time and the laws and i'll you the authority to override most of what i would consider to be the normal bureaucratic protections for those in those situations. >> wilkie's biggest problem off the bat, more than 20,000 civil servants have left the v.a. since the start of the trap at administration. top jobs remain empty after 15 months. the v.a. is short 33,000 doctors and nurses. >> in an organization that is 370,000 strong, that represents about 9% of the force.
compared to health systems in the private sector, where they have on a daily basis, 15, 16, 17% vacancies, that is not bad. however, we are going to go crazy trying to fill all 33,000. >> defense secretary jim mattis chose a wilkie to serve on his close combat attacks force in his previous role of the pentagon. now the new v.a. secretary may need those skills to survive at the v.a. >> your predecessor was fired by a presidential suite. are you worried that that might be your end as well? >> no. the last thing i will pay attention to it as any of the usual washington back and forth. this president has been magnificent me. >> in washington, jennifer griffin, fox news. >> bret: continuing to follow the v.a. china makes another big threat for more tariffs against the u.s. exports. we'll get reaction from the panel plus breaking news about

stop that. the judge seeing the court simply holds that if the dhs, department of homeland security, register reason the program, or to take any other action for that matter, it must give a rational explanation for its decision. the assertion that a prior policy is illegal accompanied by a hodgepodge of illogical or post hoc policy assertions simply will not do. the court therefore reaffirms its assertion that daca's rescission was unlawful on must be set aside. breaking news, let's bring them in. byron york, chief political correspondent of the "washington examiner." mollie hemingway, senior editor at ""the federalist," and charles lane, opinion writer for "the washington post." byron, in part, possibilities? >> a bunch of decisions we have seen against daca. this judge has been saying the same thing. you got to give a better explanation for rescinding daca. a number of republicans have been saying, no, we don't.
daca was enacted by president obama on his executive authority. it can be rescinded by president trump on his executive authority. one more effectiveness, though, there has been a lot of talk about deal on capitol hill for daca legalization in favor of the wall or some other policies the president wants. democrats don't need the deal. the courts are going to keep daca alive and possibly restorative. they are doing their work for them. >> bret: mollie, it seems like it's common sense that this thing was not set up legislatively, and would need to come if it had to go forward, so reading between the lines, the federal judges looking for a better explanation? >> the constitution gives the authority for this type of program to congress. congress is the one that should be doing this. a very similar type of program that president obama had was ruled unconstitutional in state attorney general challenged. it would be exactly the same situation with this one.
it seems kind of unbelievable that you would be told that this is something that can't be done. president obama didn't have the authority to do this, but somehow, that was okay but when president trump tries to correct that issue, by resending it, then he can't do it. >> bret: this is delayed until august 23rd to allow this administration to appeal it, likely will, and then we go onto the next court battle. >> i find it interesting because justice kennedy's resignation took effect just a couple of days ago, july 31st. now we don't have nine people on the supreme court and we were in for quite some time. it will be a tie, 4-4, the supreme court if it comes up. that means that this judge's ruling would stay in place. in other words, the supreme court has ruled it out of the action, out of the game, if that is where president trump was hoping to get his way. >> bret: president trump at this rally talking about immigration, specifically about border security. >> and i understand it. i'm a little torn myself.
i would personally prefer before, but it's whether before or after, we are either getting it or we are closing down government. we need border security! we need border to sit security! >> bret: talking about a government shutdown either before the midterms are after. the bottom line, so massive deal including daca and border security, doesn't look to get moving before them in terms. >> certainly doesn't look like it's happening before but it's very difficult to do a shutdown after. i think president trump is trying to signal the importance of this issue and undermined elected representatives how important it is for a huge part of their race. >> bret: i want to turn to china tariffs. take a listen to this. >> right now china is not too happy with me. >> china is in trouble right now. their economy is lousy. investors are walking out. the currency is falling. china better take president trump's efforts to solve the unfair and illegal
trade and their tariff problem, lack of reciprocity, technology stealing, ip theft, they don't take president trump seriously. >> we help help the trade policy makers in the united states will be cool-headed and listen to the voice of u.s. consumers and pay high attention to the voice of the american business community. >> bret: this comes in a backdrop of a july jobs report, 157,000 jobs added in july, unemployment rate edging down, 3.9%, down from 4%. the changes since trump took office. again, we put these up every once in a while but it's pretty interesting, the real gdp growth obviously the biggest mover there but also a couple of other changes. and then, the trade imbalance with key u.s. partners. china, e.u., mexico, and canada, and it's pretty clear the deficit with china is $33.5 billion. the question is, the patient's factor that we talked about on the panel many times afraid to speak is more threatening for the president.
if you make a graph of the tariffs the president has threatened versus the ones he has enacted, an enormous difference between the two. now on the other hand, as far as political approval, going after china on trade was a promise the president made over and over in the campaign. it was one of his biggest campaign promises. we have a lot of documentation from the u.s. trade representatives about all of china's trade offenses, forced technology transfers, intellectual property theft, all of that stuff. going after china is actually a good idea and it makes a lot more sense than going after the e.u. or mexico or canada. so i think you are going to keep hearing more and more of this. >> bret: mexico and canada, i'm hearing they are close on nafta and that they could be a couple weeks away from wrapping up that deal. if that's true, and they get that done, that will relieve a lot of the pressure for some of these farmers and others. >> it's important to remember what happened with the e.u. last week. china was trying to cut a deal
with the e.u., they've been unable to. we were able to do this. that is key. if you believe the term strategy is ultimately low tariffs in dealing with china's unfair trade practices, they are doing these high tariffs as a way to get to low tariffs. so the question really is, are you okay with china's system of stealing intellectual property, their state control of so many businesses, unfair barriers, or do you want to change the situation? if you want to change the situation, trump is trying this sort of risky tariff approach which you are not hearing a lot of suggestions from people who don't like it. >> bret: in the meantime, the realclearpolitics average of the president's job approval on the economy is approved. 50.3% disapprove, 42.4%, 7.9 spread there, average of recent polls. i mean, people are feeling pretty good about what he's doing on the economy. >> that is why i don't think china will make any kind of concession before the midterm election. because as that chinese
officials sort of indicated, i hope the president will listen to the voice of his consumers on his business community. translation, we are trying to encourage political backlash against this president's trade policy and we are going to see if that works. if the president and his party take reverses, in the fall election, i think it is going to make the chinese feel vindicated that he was less popular than he seemed to. and vice versa. >> a recent poll showed that business owners, 71% approve of tariffs on china. even among the business community, it is not just that people are opposed, some people support the idea of going after them. >> bret: the question is how that translate politically and we don't yet know. >> the more you focus on china, the batterers politically. they know mike there is no doubt it played a part in his getting elected and can be used by republicans in 2018. >> bret: china. next up, the lightning rod. a fight over the president supreme court effect, where we are, north korea, plus, winners and losers. ♪

we are back with the panel. where are we? >> this paper thing is a classic opposition technique. you claim there is this giant trove of secret documents that could tell you everything you need to know and disqualify this candidate and the republicans are trying to cover it up. you see some version of this in most confirmation battles, and this one, cavanaugh left a huge paper trail, more than a decade as a federal judge. but looking after the bush white house, i think this is a democratic attempt to sort of try all the controversies of the bush years, war powers, enhanced interrogations, signing statements, tying them all around kavanaugh's neck and see if it works. >> bret: the clinton investigation, ken's door, he worked with ken starr. >> this is entirely foreseeable, bret, the fundamental dilemma this poses for the democrats is that there are certain senators whose jobs might be at risk if they voted no on brett kavanaugh because they are from red state states. this is essentially a delaying tactic, a procedural objection, not a subject of objective, that
allowed those red state dems to avoid taking a position on brett kavanaugh as long as possible. in that sense, it's more than your usual delaying maneuver because it meets the specific needs that the party has two avoid pushing the senators into a dilemma. >> bret: the president on north korea last night. >> they are not testing any more nuclear! they haven't had a test in nine months! you know what else? they are not sending rockets over japan. the media is going to treat me finally, still good. >> if you look at the news today, as reported u.s. intelligence reports that additional progress is being made by north korea on its nuclear production. it's time that the administration follow through with additional sanctions on north korean individuals. >> bret: doesn't seem like that is where they are going to be. >> i think they are applying new sanctions, including the one on russians helping on north korea. sanctions are a great way to go. one of the people he's working with the national security council on this topic as an
expert and how to use sanctions to accomplish your goal. two things to be simultaneously true, things are much better with north korea than they were a year ago and a lot more needs to be done and you really need to verify anything that's getting done. but we had some good progress this week with the return of these american bodies, that apparently were done with no conditions attached to it, and so we have two deter but keep engagement going, so we can get to a solution. >> bret: winners and losers. down the road. >> my winter eight jeong, a blog or hired by "the new york times" editorial board, despite an extensive history of racially charged antiwhite hate speech on twitter. despite calls for her firings, "the times" is standing by her, proving that an ugly online past is not damage a career. on the other hand, the loser is "the new york times," which has opened itself up to charges of hypocrisy in this matter. they fired, just this year, a new editorial board member within hours or for less than wt

scaramucci. good evening. >> congratulations on the book. i read it last week it's fabulous. god bless you. judge jeanine: the president tonight and you and i both know, he has energy from his audience that goes back and forth and i think he's at his strongest when in front of an audience like he was tonight. but when the democrats go forward in this special election tuesday. what are they going to say, the economy is rotten? we are not safe anymore? what are they going to say? >> i'm going back to your book. the playbook is republicans are racist and xenophobic. it's identity politics and politics of division. they can't argue the policies or the state of the economy or rising wages for the hispanic americans or african-american community.
they try to divide and hit you with attacks. tonight the president was unleashing his vintage true self. it made me think back to two years ago back to the campaign. presidents don't get out on the campaign and rally people the way he is. he'll be so ready and so fresh for 2020 and right through the mid-term elections. it's a saturday night, he could be in bedminster relaxing. but he's in a 110 degree auditorium giving that kind of rousing speech. jesse: that's a great point -- judge jeanine: that's a great point. the man is a nonstop work. president trump: a vote for troims opponent is -- a vote for troy's opponent is a vote for open borders. they don't care about the crime, they don't care about your
military and they don't care about your vets. the new platform of the democratic party is to abolish i.c.e. and not worry about crime. really? it doesn't work that way. judge jeanine: i don't know who wouldn't agree with that. >> it's a bad strategy for them. what happened is the president is a human wrecking ball for the democratic party and he set off the alarm bells on the far left. so all of these politicians that want to run tore president are -- run for president are racing towards the far left. i don't want to be a democratic strategist on your show. but it's the wrong strategy for them and they are playing into the president's hands. he speaks in common sense way to common people. when you listen to him speak like i did in wilkes-barre, pennsylvania, my hometown. my dad is from plains, 15
minutes from scranton. i think these people relate to him. he's the blue collar billionaire president. he is able to tap into their joy. he's able to tap into their aspirations. the policies have been phenomenal. it will be hard to argue against what the president is putting on the table for every day average americans. judge jeanine: the gdp and the tariffs. the president said tonight, if we get the trade deficit down the gdf goes up. this your forte. he talked about the fact we rebuilt china with a $500 billion a year trade deficit. it's time we rebuilt our own country. everybody understands that. this whole thing with tariffs, they talk about the fact that it's not a good thing for
america, they are going to hurt us. explain this to me. >> the president's position is the trade system since the end of world war ii has been unbalanced. the u.s. did that to help build the rest of the world after the defend sayings of world war ii. -- with the -- after the devastation of world war ii. the president's point is we rebuilt the world. we helped the chinese. they are the second largest economy. the world has to turn around and allow us to have a symmetrical trading system where it's free and fair trade where their tariffs come down. and if you are not going to bring your tariffs down, we'll raise our tariff to the meet your tariffs. what i liked about the strategy is it's finally getting people to the table. the president of the e.u.
juncker was in town last week. i think the president will eventually get his way. i had two or through conversations with him about that. i'm from wall street and understand capital flows. i'm worried about the tariffs because it could change the psychology in the market. the president has such great momentum. 18 fantastic economic months. let's dial into this surgically with great precision so we don't blow the momentum and positive psychology in the economy. judge jeanine: before we go, he made it clear, he said we make a car and china taxes it 25% when it gets over there. they make a car and we charge them 2.5% which they don't pay. that's real simple to me. >> that's correct. if you sell a harley davidson in
germy. if it's $100,000 here, it's $125,000 there. what i don't want to have happen. any of the great momentum he created for these workers he was talking to tonight. i don't want any of that to be deflated. but he's on course. i think what he did with juncker last week is a great sign of things to come. i predict lower tariffs and more free trade for the world. judge jeanine: anthony scaramucci thanks so much. more from president trump. charlie kirk from turning point u.s.a.

some of the greats. they talk about abe lincoln. honest abe. they say great things. judge jeanine: president trump saying some compare him to honest abe lincoln at tonight's alley. my next guest agrees and he knows how to rule up th -- knoww to rile up the left. his next movie "death of a nation" hits theater and the country this week. >> lincoln was elected to unite a nation and stop slavery. dem gnats feared him, went to war against him, assassinated him. the liberals, the people who wanted to improve society.
judge jeanine: filmmaker and "new york times" best seller dinesh d'souza. i understand you have had some incredible premieres with distinguished guests at those premieres. how do you interpret what the president said tonight, based on your book, i actually read it, "death of a nation." >> we morph the head of lincoln and trump. this outrages a lot of people because they think how dare you compare trump and lincoln. on the face of it trump and lincoln temperamentally are quite different. lincoln is broogd, melancholy and philosophical. but there are situations that are similar. in 1860 an outsider republican candidate enters the race and wins it narrowly.
the moment he's elected all hell breaks loose. the northern democrats openly call for his assassination. and the southern democrats are willing to break the country up rather than abide a lincoln presidency. here we are with an outsider trump who wins unexpectedly, and the democrats go nuts. here we are two years after the election. judge jeanine: and they are still nuts. >> the movie looks at fascism and race i'm to delegitimize trump. they say he's ineligible to be president even if people voted for him. judge jeanine: why is the issue of fascism so on the tips of everyone's tongues. >> where do you get the license
in a democratic majority. the only amaly that works is -- the only analogy that works is hitler circa1923. if hitler were democratically elected we would agot it would be justified to use any means possible to get rid of them. the left is taking that logic based on saying he's a racist and white supremacist. so this poison is used to legitimize the left's violence and attempts to engineer a legal coup. our movie takes them at their word. we say let's look at farb i'm. -- look at fascism. let's look at the nazi 25-point
agenda because they campaigned on that. state control of banks, state control of healthcare, state control of education. state control of religious liberty. no sane person can read this and say this is on the right. then i look at the fascism of the left today. the key movement of the nazis was the party is the state. and also using the state to neutralize your critics. judge jeanine: when the police are standing down in some cases that's neutralizing not just the critics. but it allows the left to go forward with illegal activity and the whole idea of shugd down free speech. vandalizing the property of anyone on the right. assaulting, creating a crowd as maxine waters calls it. >> mussolini has para military
fighters called the black shirts. if you look at what's going on with antifa. they wear black and carry bats and beat up their opponents. these people call themselves anti-fascists but they look like and act like fascists. judge jeanine: thanks for being here and congratulations on your movie. charlie kirk is on deck. "justice" rolls on in just a moment.

recent moves by the u.s. alarming. the u.s. warned countries against violating international sanctions against north korea. the foreign minister said his country has initiated goodwill gestures. this came in singapore following a handshake with secretary of state mike pompeo. negotiations for the nafta trade agreement are to be completed as quickly as possible after months of delays there has been progress. i'm anita vogel. now let's take you back to "justice with judge jeanine." unemployment rate for americans without a high school diploma. this just came out two days ago. i figure i might as we'll tell you because they won't say it.
without a diploma, high school is at the lowest level ever recorded. how good is that. economic growth last quarter hit 4.1. you all know that. you all know this, too. remember i used to say they always voted democrat. the african-american unemployment rate has achieved the lowest level ever record in history. judge jeanine: president trump's speech in ohio covering a lot of ground. let's get to it with my political panel, former new york state assemblyman steve levy and chris hahn. gentlemen, steve, welcome to justice. let's start with the economy. unemployment of those with high school diplomas is at its lowest
level ever record. how are you democrats going to counter that one? >> it's a good number. i don't begrudge it. i give the president some credit for it. it continues a trend started with obama. the unemployment was on its way down when the president took over. in 2014, president trump had two of his strongest gdp numbers right before the mid-term election. he still lost seats in the house and they lost control of the senate. those numbers while they will help a president get re-elected do not necessarily translate into congressional wins. congressional wins are about a lot of things. the economy kiss one of them, but it's not a driving force. >> it's great being at your book signing. thanks for signing my book it's an incredible read, by the way. looking at the last year of the
obama administration we had a sluggish 1.6% growth rate. many were saying that's the new normal. it doesn't have to be. president trump came in and said we can do better. we'll cut taxes and we'll see what happens. look what happened. 4% growth in the last quarter. consumer confidence the highest level since the year 2000. unemployment 3.9%. the lowest level in 20 years. food stamps are down. judge jeanine: so, chris, what steve is saying is the facts are the facts. when you talk about 5.1 with obama and he still lost, that's got nothing do with it. it's really about sustainability. what the president and what steve are saying is we have all the factors here for the
sustainability of the economy. and when the democrats say they are going to raise taxes, do you think that helps? >> i agree it's about sustain built. the president's total gdp is a small percentage point higher. judge jeanine: really? read my book. >> his entire 19-month presidency. the last 19 months of the obama presidency the economy created more jobs than the first 19 months of the trump presidency. those are the numbers, those are the facts. google it, look it up. judge jeanine: is that true, steve. >> president trump's administration is the only one since world war ii that did not have at least a 3% growth for a total year. the president right now is on pace to achieve 3% for the whole year.
but look at the other numbers. manufacturing is booming. manufacturing is up to its highest level since 2007. construction jobs are way up. that in -- that inures to the benefit of the middle class. normally the party in power loses on those off years. there was an anomaly. 1998 with president clinton. he had a strong economy. if there is anything that can break that trend, it's the strong economy we are seeing today. >> there was another factor in 1998. the democrats overreached. judge jeanine: that's why clinton lost his law license. don't talk about overreaching.
you want to go russia collusion, don't start with plea, chris. >> if we are going to talk about impeachment, we'll have a lot of impeachment. but democrats might be making the same mistake as republicans did in '98. there was an overreach there and the public reacted negatively. you might be seeing that this year as well which is why democratic leadership is trying to tell all its minions stop talking about impeachment because it can backfire. judge jeanine: chris? >> i agree. it would be a complete overreach to make impeachment the issue and an overreach to impeach unless there was something to impeach about. the democrats have to be careful or they will hand trump a 2020 victory.
judge jeanine: chris, i'm going to keep a record of what you just said because i think you believe it. >> i do believe it. i always tell you what i believe. judge jeanine: steve levy, thank you for being on "justice." brandon straka of the walk away project is next. and charlie kirk will talk about dear great-great grandfather, you made moonshine in a backwoods still. smuggled booze and dodged the law. even when they brought you in, they could never hold you down. when i built my family tree and found you, i found my sense of adventure. i set off on a new life, a million miles away. i'm heidi choiniere, and this is my ancestry story. now with over 10 billion historical records,

take a listen to this one made about him after his thursday rally. >> there is no way that anyone who knows donald trump could watch him and not come away with a feeling that the president of the united states is completely unhinged and getting worse by the day. judge jeanine: that's just one of the most of outrageous things i have heard this week. joining me with more reaction to that, charlie kirk. there isn't any way anyone who knows donald trump unless they are bought in some way doesn't think he's totally unhinged. what's your reaction to that? >> i couldn't disagree more. and the american people disagree with that. he's getting more and more popular. here is the stunning thing about the trump presidency. despite unprecedented media backlash and targeting, he's going against historical trends. usually tho -- usually presidens
get less popular in their first term. hispanic approval rating is up 10 points and african-american* approval is 29 points. judge jeanine: if somebody is unhinged with all the hits he's been taking. anybody would buckle and be in a corner. this guy is fighting the fight every day. he gets energy from this stuff. who benefits from it? we do. speaking of that. madonna is suggests donald trump motivate herd to move to portugal. it's a full screen. >> i felt like we needed a change and i wanted to get out of america for a minute.
as you know, this is not america's finest hour, not that leaving america makes anything different or changes anything. >> we as conservatives remain loyal and patriotic no matter who is president of the united states. liberals base their love or lack of love of america based upon whether their team member is president of the united states. when obama was president i was just as loyal and committed as an american as i am today. we believe in our history, heritage and people. liberals like madonna dismiss america if there is a republican in the white house. are you thankful to be an american or are you angry to be an american. many liberals are angry when we should be pouring out our gratitude. judge jeanine: people who hate america so much should rethink
their address. kathy griffin. she is always good for outrageous. this tweet. trump and his administration are the enemy of the american people. charlie? >> the president is the ally and the friend of the american people. let's add some context for viewers at home. kathy griffin about a year ago posted a picture with a decapitated head of the president of the united states and then tried to play the victim 48 hours later that everyone was going after her. imagine for a second a conservative did that horrific stunt with barack obama's head. they would be investigated by the secret service. judge jeanine: they would be taken out in cuffs. >> exactly with a hate crime. we keep on saying the left are losing their minds.
trump is the ally of the american people. the liberal elite, the more they talk, the more popular trump gets. unlike other historical trend, donald trump is getting more popular with time and we are just getting started. judge jeanine: the whole idea of the lowest unemployment ever for people with high school diplomas. with high school diplomas. it's across the board, this positive economy. charlie kirk, thank you for being us tonight. he walked away from the left and he walked right into justice. the walkaway campaign founder is with us with an update o with the new united explorer card, i get rewarded wherever i go. going out for a bite. rewarded! going new places. rewarded!

judge jeanine: that's president trump with quite the speech tonight at his rally. my next guest is the founder of the #walk away campaign. he urges people to leave liberalism which he says has become too intolerant. brandon straka joins me. the last time you were here you were on your way to the u.k. and had just become a hit with your documentation of all of the hysteria on the left and the lying hysteria. what's happened since then? >> a lot has happened. the walkaway campaign has continued to grow. it's had an amazing impact. people are putting out their testimonials and it's growing like wildfires, especially in the minority community which i love to see. judge jeanine: the testimonials. do they attest to things that
happened to them or what they see as untrue or fake? >> it's a combination of all these things. we see and hear the stories every day about violence, vandalism and petty and destructive behavior. even in people's personal lives. they are being cut off by their siblings and best friends or saying i support the president. they are losing their jobs. it's crazy. judge jeanine: it's even worse than that. the president's star on the hollywood walk of fame as well as the cabinet member's boat as well as cabinet members being thrown out of restaurants and grossy stores. i had my own issue with being basically thrown off a set on out of a building. >> i heard about that. judge jeanine: this intolerance. do people not understand how un-american that is? >> we have gone beyond
anti-trump. it's play and thely anti-american -- it's blatantly antiamerican. conservatives stood by as they watched the erosion of american ideals under the obama administration. we didn't see anything like this. i was a liberal at that time. i was a obama supporter. i did not see people on the right behaving this way. judge jeanine: what is it you saw on the left that caused you, you are a liberal, you are gay, talk to me, why? and to step out. a lot of people who stepped out, they get in a lot of trouble with the left. >> i think the left has done a successful job in pushing this narrative of victimhood and oppressors. for many of us on the left myself included, we bought into it. i became a liberal because i'm against racism. judge jeanine: we are all against racism. >> right. but i didn't know that. the common idea is people on the
right hate hispanic and gay people, hate hate hate hate hate. this is what we hear over and over again. but when the lightbulb came on in my head, i said i'm here because i'm against all these things, but you guys hate white people and straight people and you hate men. judge jeanine: sarah jeong, the woman from the "new york times," and the "new york times" dug up their heels in. she hates whites, she hates men. the excuse and the "times" bought it, she said i feel like i have been harassed. >> this is how liberal ideology gets ingrained in our culture through our education system and the media. roseanne lost her show. lost her show. but the "new york times" is standing by this woman.
by the way, these tweets go back to 2013. this is five years of virulently racist tweets. they are standing by her because they say she is an asian-american woman so by default she is a victim of racism. the white people she made the tweets about, they deserve it. judge jeanine: when you say five years, the "new york times" says they are old tweets. 2015 is old? what are you up to next. >> we have big things planned for the walkaway campaign. i would like to you have me back on your show so i can announce it. judge jeanine: that's a good tease. tease. we'll be right back, everybody. woman: it felt great not having hepatitis c. it's like a load off my shoulders. i was just excited for it to be over.

psychological warfare and demanded talks with donald trump. todd: a response from the white house. >> reporter: 4 hours ago, when those sanctions hit, it exited from the iran nuclear deal, sanctions are designed to put up revenue, the regime with terrorist dictators and militias, but the door open for talks, president rouhani had this reaction. >> what is the meaning of negotiations when you impose sanctions at the same time? like someone pulling a knife to stab an enemy in the arm while at the same time claiming you should be talking and negotiating. >> the white house issuing a statement encouraging allies to join the maximum pressure campaign urging all nations to take steps to make clear the iranian regime faces a choice, a change is threatening to stabilize behavior with the global economy are continuing
>> that could hurt, appreciate it. >> sanctions were in place before the 2015 iran nuclear deal was signed. rob: the obama era deal was not just ineffective but helps to embolden the regime. >> since that time there has been very little other than sponsor of terrorism, rogue regime that killed americans, kidnapped americans, sponsored terrorism around the world and it is time for them to be accountable and paid a price. unless the regime is changed, but behavior won't change the proper avenue is not for the us to intervene and overthrow the government but for the people to do it and they almost did it in 2009. the green movement was an uprising and they were looking for just a little bit of encouragement from the united
states and residents obama was stone cold silence, didn't say a word as 20-year-old women were bleeding in the street from gunshot wounds to the head. that is why the regime is emboldened. >> donald trump withdrew the united states from the nuclear deal in may. >> us coalition forces conducting 20 strikes against isis in less then a we, the turn takedown part of operation roundup which began in may to destroy isis in iraq and syria. defense officials say the latest round of strikes destroyed several isis vehicles as well as an explosives factory and command and control center in syria. national security adviser john bolton criticizing kim jong un for not upholding is nuclear agreement with donald trump. >> the significant thing about singapore was north korean commitment to denuclearize and they have not taken steps to do that. not looking for rhetoric, we are looking for performance of north
korea's commitment made to us and south korea before hand to denuclearize. rob: bolton saying closing one nuclear test site with no international observers present is not enough for the north koreans. mike pompeo is expected to return to north korea for another meeting with kim jong un. it is not clear when that could happen. >> jeff sessions slamming a federal judge's decision to reinstate daca is immigration prosecutions that the southern border our way up. anita vogel joins us as the white house fights to keep their policies in play. >> reporter: jeff sessions holding nothing back as he rips into the judge before reinstating the daca program, issuing a statement saying this comes after, quote, number of

different from general elections. the cliché about turnout, they really are in the special elections about turnout. todd: it could be a sign of things to come. let's go to michigan, a governor's race, three democrats and a primary and this man here, with bernie sanders and alexandria 15. >> reporter: this is interesting because this is a bellwether race. the establishment democrats of all come behind gretchen, you have abdul sayed, very liberal, jumping over each other to find who is more liberal and you see bernie sanders coming in, supporting abdul. todd: he has a lot of money, $12 million. >> african-americans in the

surrounded by them. the police officers were already there. rob: the officers were a minority majority police force, articulate voice for the african american community, calling her a white supremacist. they are trying to stir up this racial divisiveness you see growing in the base of the democrat polly -- party. we do a lot of rallies. we don't draw attention to ourselves, trying to go over business in philadelphia for board meetings and get a week started and next thing you know antifa was so bothered by our presence that they had to send the signal and mobilize outside the restaurant, harass us, we did not retaliate in kind, we never will, we never should but if you look at the words of

A recap of the day's headlines and a look at what's in store for tomorrow.
all tried to convince her to look at the paper trail, we laid it out in front of her again and again and she still said she had reasonable doubt and that is the way the jury worked. we didn't want it to be hung so we tried for an extended period of time to convince her that in the end she held out and that is why we have 10 counts. >> is that where the note did not come from, performance in the note and said can you explain reasonable doubt? wasn't connected to that? >> it was. most of us did not want that question out there but one of the jurors did. we felt a little foolish sending it but that is the way the jury works.
deliberation requires we submit that question to the judge. >> judge ellis said this about the situation. i received criticism and threats. i can imagine they would too meaning of your names were released. if you told jurors their names would be public at the outset of this trial i might see some request to be excused and i think certainly i had no idea myself this case would arouse the kind of public interest. i think i said at the outset i understand why but even still it is a surprise. he kept your name sealed because he was worried about threats to his jurors. why are you speaking out? >> i don't feel a threat. i'm an american citizen. i feel i did my civic duty. i don't feel i need to hide behind anything. i'm not afraid at all. i thought the public, america needed to know how close this was and the evidence was overwhelming. we did not want him to begin to but he was and no one is above the law.
and there were four boxes of paper to look through. shannon: i know there was a question whether the various counts are connected to the evidence that was linked to that. do you feel there was a good job by the mueller team putting together what they wanted to get to? >> we didn't want that question out there either. when they gave us the box each folder had a number. when you look at your notes, and what was connected which charge it was easy to connect the dots. most of us had no problem with that. >> what was it like? was it heated? >> it was. crazily enough there were even tears. two of the jurors, one of the females that did finally change her vote to guilty came in one
day and say guilty and the next day say i felt pressure i want to change my vote. there was a lot of back and forth with that but finally, once again, we put those documents in front of her and she changed her vote to guilty again. the one holdout even after the instructions from the judge where he said you talking about it. give this another try that wasn't enough to move the one. you said you wanted him to be innocent, why? >> even his critics say he was brilliant at what he did. why wouldn't trump want them to help with the campaign. >> you are trump supported. >> very much so. >> what did you think about the charges being brought against him. you wanted to think he was innocent, did you think on the front end versus what you decided?
>> the charges were legitimate the prosecution tried to make the case about the russian collusion from the beginning of the judge shot them down on that, we didn't waste a bit of time with that shenanigan. >> that the president's name come up injury deliberation? was this the politicized in any way? >> it was just because in the evidence there were references to trump and to his son-in-law and the trump campaign, especially with the pay to play issue so it did come up. >> did you feel there were jurors who were either like yourself pro donald trump or anti-and that influence their reasoning? >> know, i don't. i think we all went in like we were supposed to and assumed he was innocent, we do due diligence, apply the evidence, our notes, the witnesses --
let's talk about the manafort team and the decision not to testify. did that influence you? >> it did. i understand why they didn't do it, he is presumed innocent and does not need to do that and the judge made that very clear that there is no requirement for him to do so. however based on what i saw, what i heard i think i would have liked to have heard more from the defense. they gave a very easy-going atmosphere to the whole thing, they objected to very little and appeared agreeable throughout it all. the cross-examination was very short. i think i expected a little more. >> rick gates was a business associate of paul manafort, he was a key to the prosecution and the defense seemed most of the
case was to discredit him, undermine and talk about him stealing from paul manafort, that he strike you as a witness? >> nervous. some of us had a problem accepting his testimony because he took the plea so we agreed to throw out his testimony and that the paperwork. shannon: did you find them to be credible? >> know. i think he would have done anything for himself. that is obvious. >> a key witness but he did not turn you. what about the tax preparer who was testifying under immunity. how critical was she to you? >> some of us thought she was a good witness. others did not.
i believe there. i think she felt very contrite about her involvement in that. i understand why she didn't but that didn't make it right. i think she was key to me because we saw the false documents and now we know how they got there. shannon: a lot of folks thought judge ellis was quite a character. >> he was. >> was equally tough on both sides? >> i think it would have been equally tough on both sides of the defense been up there more. the prosecution were the people up there the most. he said some funny things like for instance when andre forgot to mention something and he came back with a comment about confession is good for the soul.
shannon: you stay away from what you are supposed to stay away from during the trial and not talk to other jurors and to your deliberation. >> the first part was not talking about the case to be jurors because you spent a lot of time waiting in a small room. i tried to ask people what is your favorite food and those things. the youngest including the alternate in her 20s and the oldest on our jury was 69. average age is 50s. one person drove 108 miles to do this. i was almost there but second furthest away. shannon: did you ever have hesitation once you realized what the trial was be what you were questioned about to be involved in this? >> say that again. shannon: do you worry, i being called to be a juror on the paul manafort trial, any hesitation
about being a juror? >> not at all. it is my civic duty. i will serve my country anyway i can. shannon: you shed some light on it, thank you. our panel of experts joins me to break down what we heard but new details emerged about the suspect in the murder of mollie tibbetts, a man officials say is an illegal immigrant atlanta job and lived in iowa and detected for four years. >> this raises questions about his immigration, employment and

the navy is moving ships and submarines out of the state, positioning them to help with response effort is needed. residents rush to stores to stock up on supplies, officials warned of damaging winds, prolonged heavy rainfall and life-threatening flash flooding. new details on the shocking murder case feeling more outrageous the immigration system, sparking a national conversation on that. anita vogel is here to fill us in. >> what started as a story about a missing young woman in middle america is now front and center in the debate over illegal immigration. the suspect accused of murdering mollie tibbetts, 24-year-old cristhian bahena rivera made his first court appearance today, he
confessed to following mollie tibbetts when she was jogging immensity blacked out at the next thing he remembered was finding her bloodied body in his trunk. authority that he into the country illegally four to twee 7 years ago and was working near where mollie tibbetts went missing. originally the owner said they use the e-verify system which allows employers to confirm the eligibility status of employees to work in the us that earlier today, what the farmers had to walk that back. >> what we learned in the last 24 hours is that our employees not who he said he was and just within the last four hours we have come to learn that the social security admission verification service is not the same as theverify. >> law enforcement officials say he used fake documentations to obtain work at the farm and he had 0 immigration status in the country. the story ratcheting up the immigration debate just ahead of the midterm elections of democrats charging by focusing on individual criminal cases republicans are destroying the idea that immigrants are more
prone to violent crime. donald trump says the point is rivera never should have been in the country in the first place. >> mollie tibbetts, an incredibly a woman is not permanently separated from her family. a person came in from mexico illegally and killed her. we need the wall, we need our immigration laws changed. >> reporter: rivera is being held on a $5 million cash bond, perimeter hearing on first-degree murder charge is set for august 31st and there will be cameras in the courtroom so we will be watching that. jillian: mollie tibbetts's death ignited a firestorm as some say politics should not be part of this tragedy at all. former ohio senate minority leader and senior columnist@townzoobahall.com, welcome to you both.
you saw a video of the president talking about mollie tibbetts saying we got to get the wall, do all of it. how do you respond to those who say this is not the time for politics? >> i think this is exactly the time for politics. my heart goes out to the family. we are all united in that but this is an issue we have to discuss because too many of our young people and old people are being murdered, injured, victims of crime because of illegal aliens. illegal aliens in large part are not committing other crimes besides breaking into the country but a certain number of them are and if we don't enforce our laws we are going to continue to see kate steinles and mollie tibbettss, the numbers keep rising. we have to stop it, we have to
enforce the laws that the american people want. >> what about that? these are laws whether you hate the more likely, they were duly passed by congress a lot of people will say they are not being enforced. the system is broken and congress seems unable to get anything done. >> obviously there are significant issues when it comes to immigration laws in the united states, part of that is because we have gridlock in the united states congress and neither democrats nor republicans are willing to come together and try something between build a wall and abolish ice. there is a consensus in the middle of all this that we have to address in order to move the nation forward. we need to enforce laws but this tragic circumstance in iowa. you have an employer who sounded like in good faith tried to verify the individual's immigration status and the system failed them. how are you supposed to enforce
a law when you couldn't figure out whether he was legally in the country or not. >> reports the family is saying this is not the guy they thought he was. he is using a different name. there is one reporting washington post that he was using a stolen id. how do you fix this? >> that happens all the time and if you or i were using a stolen id we would go to jail. if an illegal alien does it we have an establishment to excuse it. he got into this country, he shouldn't have. we should be able to secure our borders. that isa, these are the most basic jobs of any government, to secure a country's borders, protect its people, we are failing that and that is a choice of a significant number of the members of our establishment, a choice not to enforce these laws because many of them want illegal immigration. >> that is a little bit overstated and here is why. there is this underlying
narrative the democrats want to flood the country with illegal immigrants because somehow this is going to become our voting base in 2020. of the grant amnesty to these people we get a new voting base. >> that is making the assumption immigrants of any stripe particularly usually in this context talking about individuals from the hispanic and latino communities is going to blankly vote on one issue. many other nuances include faith, many of them are catholic, they are not a monolithic voting base. the other thing is there are a number of us who respects the job being done by our law enforcement and ice that went to see comprehensive immigration reform including strengthening the borders. is it abolish ice or build a wall? we need to find a middle ground for all americans and retain our history as an immigrant nation.
>> my latin immigrant wife whose family came here, joined the army, build lives here, she is scared for our kids because this is out of control and we need to take control of our borders to protect the american people. shannon: hard to do that if you abolish ice. not everybody in the left wants that to happen but there is a liberal group that does. come back soon. coming up, breaking down our exclusive interview with a juror from the paul manafort trial. >> america needed to know how close this was and the evidence was overwhelming. i did not want paul manafort to be guilty but he was. >> new polls show republicans have an uphill battle to keep control of the house in the
midterm elections. can they do it? house majority leader kevin mccarthy tells us his plan next. getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b in 10-25 year olds. even if meningitis b is uncommon, that's not a chance we're willing to take. meningitis b is different from the meningitis most teens were probably vaccinated against when younger. we're getting the word out against meningitis b. our teens are getting bexsero. bexsero should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects are pain, redness or hardness at the injection site; muscle pain; fatigue; headache; nausea; and joint pain. bexsero may not protect all individuals. tell your healthcare professional if you're pregnant or if you have received any other meningitis b vaccines. ask your healthcare professional about the risks and benefits of bexsero and if vaccination with bexsero is right for your teen. moms, we can't wait.
shannon: brand-new fox poll shows democrats in a strong position going into the midterm elections. that calls for the calls for impeachment government fringe to the mainstream, michael cohen's plea deal and a contented to be speaker of the house and republicans retake control, kevin mccarthy joins us live to weigh in on it. great to have you with us. let me ask what level of pressure you feel as a republican to either embrace or distance yourself from the president? >> not to distance myself at all, this president has done a tremendous job rebuilding this economy, rebuilding our military and every step along the way. i know what you have watched and
seen and not one of the items i saw had anything to do with russia collusion or anything else in that manner. this president has worked hard and stand strong and this election comes around you will see republicans maintain the house. shannon: we will talk to our legal panel about what the cohen guilty plea does with regard to the president but what is your understanding or feeling about the fact he stood there and set on two campaign-finance account the president directed him to do something specific, people agree and disagree about whether it is a, lacked or not but cohen does lincoln to it. >> let's remember, the justice department said about:yesterday that he is someone who has a pattern of lies and disbelief,
dishonesty for extended period of time, that is what the justice department said about him just yesterday. he has lied, he is dishonest for an extended period of time. in my point of view the whole investigation was about russia collusion, this has nothing to do with it, so i see nothing wrong in where he is going right now. >> i want to read an editorial and give you a chance to respond. the headline is this. silence is complicity, republican leaders of the legislative branch are failing to fulfill their constitutional duty to provide checks and balances on trump and mccarthy has given little indication he would change that in his watch as speaker. how much is he willing to tie himself to trump in pursuit of the speaker's gavilan the power that comes with it? >> i would expect nothing less from the sacramento but let's remember what we have done. we have built an economy that has created 4 million jobs since the election. we passed a tax bill that would unemployment to the lowest
points we have seen for african-american women and so many aspects. think of this. the last 49 years in the history of america unemployment has only been below 4% 8 months and is 49 years the three of those eight months were this year. we stopped human trafficking on online systems, we have passed the most comprehensive ability to stop opioid epidemic. this congress is also interested in the military. we reformed the g.i. bill. in history you have 15 years to use it or you lost it. now it is for a lifetime. i think we have gone beyond and have so much more work to do. we have asked starting to build the wall, secure our border but what have the democrats done? not one that is the textile that created 1.5 million jobs, not one democrat voted for the two times we put before us to have immigration reform and secure
the border. what the democrats put across the border? they want to abolish ice, they went to impeach the president, that is what they voted on twice. tom stiers bragged that is list is bigger than the nra to impeach the president. what else do they want to do with our healthcare system? bankrupt medicare, cost more than $32 trillion but it would end medicare as we know it. 55% of americans have health care based on their employer. that would be no more. this is the plan the democrats have but you also see as much difference. it is results versus resistance. >> we have a lot of fox news polls. one of the top things people talked about they care about in this election is healthcare but above that was the economy. good news for you on the economy because when people were asked who is most responsible for the current economy far and away
from/republicans took the winning orders, 44%, democrats and president obama down 15%. that is a positive but you also have this poll talking about your opinion of the democratic party, the democratic party has a 50% favorable, the republican party is upside down by 17 points, 39% favorable, 56% unfavorable, they give credit to the economy but are not happy with the party. how do you campaign based on those numbers. >> if i went back two weeks ago and looked at the generic ballot that generic ballot two weeks ago was the exact same ballot it was the day before the 2016 election where we won the presidency, the senate and maintained the house. this election is different than any election i have seen before. it is going to weave back and forth week by week. what we have to do is continually solve problems, build results but what you see, there is not one democrat voting
for the tax bill. what are they proposing? watch what happened across this country. when i was in sacramento and they were protesting me because of immigration we were arresting omar amen, a member of isis who was in california, allowed to come into this country under the obama administration, he killed a police officer in iraq because he is part of al qaeda and isis. we need to secure our borders. >> wanting parties agree on is there are a lot of immigration things that need to be cleaned up and whether you can find consensus we are tuned in. let us know, great to have you with us. >> thank you for being here and this election is going to be about results or resistance and i think at the end of the day the american people will pick the results. >> there's a lot of motivation on both sides and a lot of resistance. i have encountered it in person. we will see you again soon.
tuesday on northern virginia jury found paul manafort guilty him eight counterattacks and bank fraud. tonight one of those jurors spoke exclusively to fox news at my. our legal panel ways in on what they heard next. >> charges were legitimate for the prosecution tried to make a case about the russian collusion right from the beginning of the judge shot them down on that. we didn't waste a bit of time with that shenanigan. i don't keep track of regrets. i never count the wrinkles. and i don't add up the years.

>> you heard about the liberations that led to a guilty verdict on eight charges but left ten others unsettled. paula duncan was speaking out. tom dupree and ninth circuit attorney for dylan, great to have both of you tonight. she decided to speak out even though the judge sealed the names and said the jurors, he wanted them to be safe, she felt she wanted people to know what went on behind closed doors. you don't often get that perspective from a juror. >> you always seek it as a trial were, fascinating to hear what jurors are focused on, usually not what the lawyers think. for example i'm noticing people i mapping and reminds us we have to be on alert and on our best behavior at all times because they are paying attention. i found it fascinating and great that she shared with people what the thought process was and is not afraid. i see a lot of hope for our democracy.
>> interesting to me that she said rick gates, the prosecution's darwinist, a lot were turned off by him and didn't all of them find incredible, the paper trail was just unmistakable and the bookkeeper testifying along with those documents led them where the prosecution wanted them to go. >> that was one of the more fascinating aspects of your interview and the point that resonated with me, she was saying how in some cases the jurors tuned out the actual testimony because they had doubts or concerns about the credibility of the witnesses and instead they based deliberations on the documents which is fantastic. it warms my heart as a litigator because a lot of text of the documents, you wonder is anyone going to look through these but they did. shannon: 18 counts, they found him guilty on eight but this is how close it came. there was one person who didn't want to say guilty on all 18.
>> we wanted to be hung. we tried for an extended period of time to convince her but in the end she held out. that is why we have ten counts that did not get it. shannon: anything that leads them to prosecute those 10 counts again? >> i don't know. evidence was to me, there was a lot of documentary evidence. if i were the prosecution i would be focusing on that other trial, the settlement cleef from manafort. they got him on dozens of years and potential sentencing. shannon: they went round and round but if there is reasonable doubt you don't move forward and the judge sent them back with the special charge, take another look but ultimately one person
may make a difference. >> that is true. that is our system, love it or hate it, one person can make a big difference. one thing i will say that impressed me is it is clear this jerry afforded paul manafort presumption of innocence, she said she didn't want him to be guilty and they came into this, she was a trump supporter, she came into this saying she didn't want it to be true but evidence left them no choice. shannon: she supported the president and felt the genesis of the mueller investigation has serious calls and questions about but when presented with the evidence in this case she was left with no other option. please stay where you are. we will be back to discuss if tuesday's manafort verdict or the cohen plea deal, is the president illegal jeopardy or is this a lot of bluster? right after this. e sounds will help me relax a bit. at least we don't have to worry about homeowners insurance. just call geico. geico helps with homeowners insurance?

>> there is no question he has committed a federal crime, and wh >> no question he committed a federal crime. whether he can be indicted has never been decided. >> that is lanny davis, attorney for michael cohen, the president's former attorney talking, let's take it to our legal panel, there is, quote, no question the president committed a federal crime. >> i don't believe what he is saying is accurate. for one thing all that happened was the president's former lawyer into the plea bargain in which he made allegations and admissions concerning his conduct, that does not mean the president is guilty. if the president were called
upon to defend himself he would have strong defense to discharge. the object is the ultimate audience is congress. if we are talking possible impeachment maybe this has relevance but as far as whether the president can be charged with a federal crime bob mueller has been clear he will follow and respect department of justice guideline which says you cannot and shall not indicted sitting president. >> reporter: the second part of that whether he can be indicted has never been decided so we have guidance documents from 1973 and 2000. in your mind is that settled? rudy giuliani says he got an assurance verbally from mueller epstein that they acknowledge the doj guidelines, can't indicted sitting president. >> i think that is pretty settled. the noise lanny davis, paid hack for the clintons and the 90s is spreading around on media today, communication messaging, impeachment and nothing else. there is no evidentiary value to
michael cohen's sudden flip-flop on this issue when previously he said something different and now saving his side and you can't blame him for that but throwing your client under the bus, breaking the sacred oath and trust of attorney-client privilege and pointing a finger in this way is nothing but opportunistic and will seen as such by the public at large. >> the senate has going on of brett kavanaugh to be the next supreme court justice, a number stepping up today saying with all this cohen stuff in mind and the fact that brett kavanaugh made statements whether sitting presidents can be indicted with the subject of an investigation there's no way we can confirm him and have to put the brakes on. >> it is absurd that argument and makes no sense, the fact is a lot of people are desperate to stop brett kavanaugh. i think his confirmation is inevitable and this is a hail mary pass by people trying to
postpone or find some way to stop a near certainty at this point. no connection, no reason to delay the confirmation to the united states up in court. >> what do you make of the latest claims and there are some democrats who stepped up to say even if he does get through he must recuse himself from any case he could hear dealing with this president? >> complete garbage, kind of pathetic and thanks to social media we have real-time compare the cut and paste talking points, they would have more credibility if they were selective in their outrage but they are not, scattershot outrage and autopilot outrage and it detracts from their credibility. i remember when people hold their fire on both sides and let the other guy go by. the nominee could have been way worse for democrats and more extreme than brett kavanaugh so this is silly. >> funny to look back at current members of the court being voted

he has the inside scoop coming up. first, chief national correspondent ed henry kicks off the coverage with breaking news. good evening. >> great to see you. the district attorney's office here in manhattan is thinking about bringing criminal charges against president trump's business, the trump organization, in connection with how officials they are reimbursed attorney cohen for his payments to that adult film performer. according to "the new york times" tonight. the president said months ago of the special counsel started probing his business dealings, that would be what he called a redline that could spark robert mueller's firing. this is more complicated because it would be state charges against the trump organization, not federal charges brought by mueller. it would be harder to justify a meal or firing perhaps. plus the president has the power to pardon paul manafort or anyone else for federal charges but he does not have clear authority to pardon people or corporations for criminal charges on the state level. the the times is stressing tonit at the manhattan das still in the early stages of deciding
whether or not to bring a case. meanwhile as you noted, sources telling fox tonight it was not just cohen who testified about the president in a separate federal case where the attorney pled guilty to eight crimes. he is not the only one who cooperated. federal prosecutors granted immunity to american media ceo david pecker. the associated press is reporting that the inquirer kept a safe containing hush payments and other damaging stories it killed tap the president who gave an exclusive interview to "fox & friends" where he insisted he did nothing wrong in connection with those hush payments and lashed out at cohen for flipping on him, as democrats continue their drumbeat for possible impeachment charges and said this is a far cry from when the president was promising during the campaign to drain the swamp. listen. >> it almost ought to be outlawed. it's not fair. but if somebody defrauded a bank and he's going to get ten years in jail or 20 years in jail, but if you can say something bad
about donald trump, and you will go down to two years or three years which is the deal he made. >> he has made the swamp more wretched and more fetid. >> as difficult as it's been for the president this week, his allies are baking on the fact that democrats may overplay their hand. president telling fox if he is impeached, the stock market is going to crash while his attorney rudy giuliani told sky news today the american people would revolt against an impeachment effort because it would be seen as being political. >> shannon: we are going to talk about that with the political panel coming up. ed henry, thank you very much. our other top story, jeff sessions comes out swinging today in a biting statement after president trump accused sessions of never fully taking control of the justice department. correspondent ellison barber has the very latest. >> the president has made it very clear more than once that he is not attorney general jeff sessions biggest fan. on capitol hill, one republican senator suggested a new voice at the doj might not be a bad idea
but by large lawmakers seem to be siding with attorney general sessions tonight and warning president trump. >> jeff sessions to the right thing to recuse himself. for the president to say otherwise is something wrong. >> this undermines the rule of law and undermines respect for the department of justice. >> the attorney general's job is not to be a political hack. the attorney general strives to defend the constitution. speaker of the president were to take abrupt action and try to force-out or replace rod rosenstein or attorney general sessions or special codes are mueller, that would have great consequences for the president. >> all of this began after president trump attacked his attorney general in that interview with "fox & friends." >> the democrats are very strong in the justice department. i put in an attorney general that never took control of the justice department. jeff sessions recused himself, which he shouldn't have done. >> in a rare move, sessions responded saying he took control
A recap of the day's headlines and a look at what's in store for tomorrow.
lot. you play golf. is he thinking about a new ag? >> i don't have direct evidence of this but you don't have to be dr. phil to understand the president and attorney general do not have a good working relationship. every president deserves an attorney general they have confidence in. as to jeff sessions come i've never met a finer man readies a great senator, great lawyer, i think he's been a good attorney general. this is not working. i hope the relationship gets better. if doesn't i would imagine the president is going to look for a new attorney general. because what's going on is unsustainable. i'm not blaming anybody. i love jeff sessions, but from my point of view, the country is not being well served with this much friction. >> shannon: when you said last year there would be "holy to pay" of sessions when fired, you said the president's efforts to marginalize and humiliate him were not going over well in the senate. >> when jeff recuse himself, which i think he should have, any lawyer would have done what sessions did. he was part of the campaign. you can't oversee an
the relationship is unsustainable. >> shannon: here is what ben sasse had to say today. >> the idea that jeff sessions may be fired because he's not a political hack is a very, very bad idea. it's a bad idea for the constitution. it's a bad idea for public trust. it's a bad idea for the department of justice and frankly it's really bad idea for the president of the united states. i have can indicate if that message my colleagues and i have communicated it to the president. >> shannon: he also said it's hard for him to envision a scenario when he is voting for someone other than jeff sessions to be the attorney general if it's based on this idea that he won't carry it with the president wants them to do. >> all i can say is what senator sasse is saying, the donald trump is stuck with jeff sessions forever because senator sasse doesn't believe he should be replaced, i believe every president has the right to their cabinet. these are not lifetime appointments. we serve at the pleasure of the president. so i find it quite frankly wrong for the senate to reject the
idea that donald trump can't replace his attorney general. but everybody else can. through and you are saying before the midterms absolutely no way. >> we don't have enough time. we have brett kavanaugh. we have an election coming up. i say this loving jeff sessions, but for the country's sake and really i think for the department of justice's sake, we need somebody that can have a trust with the president. this relationship is either going to get better or is going to result in a new phase and a new voice at the department of justice. >> shannon: i want to read something from politico. "gram's comment appeared to be in on prompt invitation to the president to take action if the witches. a wink and a nongesture that has a friend in the senate." if grassley chooses to go to the finance committee after the election, graham would become judiciary committee chairman. graham is also up for reelection in 2020 of being close to trump would help stave off a primary challenge." >> here is what i would say. if senator grassley move to the finance committee, i will become
chairman of the traditions of the senate. i hope he stays because i think it's been a great chairman. i am saying on national television the obvious. jeff sessions and donald trump do not enjoy a healthy relationship. i'm not blaming jeff sessions. i think he is highly ethical. i think he is very competent. but this is not working. at the end of the day, the people in the department of justice, the president deserves an attorney general that can -- that has his confidence. i'm not suggesting that he fired jeff sessions because he's not a political hack. i am suggesting if he can't work with jeff sessions, he has the right to pick somebody who is competent. the burden will be on the president. >> shannon: the next time you play golf which is probably soon, let us know if he has in the names. give us a list. >> we will see what he does. i hate that it came to this but it's pretty obvious to me something has got to give. >> shannon: senator, always great to have you with this. thanks for coming in. president trump's former lawyer michael cohen may have pleaded guilty to breaking campaign
aggressive, i would say really on the margins of the justice department's enforcement authority, a very aggressive take on what the campaign finance laws hold. it didn't work out well for the justice department. basically they convinced a judge to let the case go to the jury. but the jury acquitted on one count, hung on the rest. when doj took another look at it, they said this is not worth going to the well again. >> shannon: it's interesting because mark penn, former clinton pollster, democrat, he wrote an op-ed in the hill and this is what he said about the edwards case where there are hundreds of thousands dollars funneled to take care of a he had a child with. a lot of similar parallels here. he said note that none of the donors in the 2012 john edwards case faced any legal issues, and the federal election commission ruled their payments were not campaign contributions that had to be reported. both facts that prosecutors tried to suppress at trial. so why is it different for
michael cohen? why did he plead guilty to these charges if that's how it worked out in this case? >> well, you know, i think it's different with respect to when you are talking about the candidate versus somebody who donates to the candidate. so in president trump's instance, what i would say is his best defense here is that the government couldn't possibly prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he violated the campaign finance laws. in fact, i think one of the charges at the very least out of the two that are leveled against cohen and the charges he pled guilty to earlier this week, president trump couldn't possibly commit it because they are two different charges. they are very different in nature against cohen. one is that he, cohen, made excessive campaign contributions, that is he exceeded the $2700 limit that applies to individuals giving
campaign contributions. that doesn't apply to the president because he was the candidate. he doesn't have a dollar limit. so i don't see how he could be guilty of that account. the other charge is not that cohen actually made an illegal campaign contribution but that he caused a corporation, namely the american media incorporated, the "national enquirer"'s parent company, he caused them to make an in-kind contribution. at the moment, there's a lot of evidence that cohen did that. there is no evidence of the president did that. >> shannon: let me ask you really quickly before we're out of time. david pecker, with american media, they have some immunity and i've talked with prosecutors. do you think that was about cohen? people want to make it like it's about the president, but we don't when know when the unity was made. >> is not a irrelevant to the president but it's more likely when you look at this that that
was done in april shortly aftert company got subpoenaed. at that point in time, the government didn't know that cohen was going to plead guilty and they needed to shore up the case which was critically dependent on this media company. i think that probably happened back in the springtime. >> shannon: andrew mccarthy. it does make a difference when it originally occurred. thank you so much. u.s. president has never been removed from office by impeachment. as more and more democrats are using the i word, their leadership is shying away. the president's lawyer says it simple he will not happen. >> he didn't collude with the russians. he didn't obstruct justice.
excuse me, you dropped this. they know it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting, dennis quaid. that's why they're making it simple, man in cafe. and they know it's expensive. yeah. so they're making it affordable. thank you. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. now, you might not believe any of this since this is a television commercial, but that's why they're being so transparent. anyways. this is the end of the commercial where i walk off into a very dramatic sunset to reveal the new esurance tagline so that you'll remember it. esurance. it's surprisingly painless.
anita. >> that's right. hi, shannon. the bar is high. only two presidents have been impeached before. andrew johnson and bill clinton. both were acquitted. when it comes to president trump, talk of impeachment has been swirling around him ever since he was sworn in, maybe even before. just as we, the president said it would be bad for the country. >> i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job. i will tell you what. if i ever got impeached, i think the market would crash. >> here's how the process works. first, impeachment charges are introduced to the house based on treason, bribery, or other high crimes and this meters. then they investigate whether the charges are warranted. if the consensus is the ascom articles are drafted. a simple majority is needed to improve the articles of impeachment and advance the case to the senate. the senate then conducts a full-blown trial presided over by the chief justice of the united states. in this case, john roberts. a conviction occurs if
two-thirds of the senate finds the president guilty. now it's not clear exactly what the crime is that president trump has committed at this point. but his critics are looking hard to find one. in the wake of a conviction of his former campaign chair and a guilty plea from his former lawyer on tax evasion and other charges, most of the media is drumming up a firestorm. >> the president is clearly guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. he should resign his office or be impeached. >> impeachment. >> impeachment. >> impeachment. >> deep and troubling questions on the criminal law should be used against people and it's upper they aren't confused and subject to questions. >> last year, several democrats introduce articles of impeachment against the president while those efforts fail, some say if democrats take back the house this november, 23 seats are needed, they could certainly be emboldened to try again. shannon, back to you. >> shannon: all right,
anita vogel, thank you. let's talk about it with scott bolden and fox news contributor guy benson. people have been impeached but no one has been kicked out of office. all the steps have not happened to leave under those circumstances. the president has talked about how the markets will crash if he's impeached. it's not going to be good for people. certainly there is instability. political rights wall street analysts agree that it could weigh on stocks, giving -- they say any drop on wall street will be placed on the uncertainty of the outcome of such a fight rather than a real fear of a post from presidency. >> wall street and stocks are resilient. you said twice before, with clinton, the stocks may or may not have dropped but they are resilient. they will come back. it's a roller coaster. other business initiatives or
issues effect with the stock market does. are we in a great economy? yes, we are. his employment down? yes. our stocks up? yes. stocks were up under barack obama and bill clinton prior presidents. the president is taking too much, knock knock, surprise, too much credit. >> shannon: he and his team don't want it but there are those conspiracy theorists say that he would love to fight against it if he's going for reelection. seems like a risky gamble. democratic leaders don't want to talk about it. the hill says democratic leaders have worried talk of impeachment could hurt their chances and when he backed the house this fall. fearing it could cost him support from independents while risking a higher turnout among president trump's supporters. >> i don't think it's a conspiracy theory that the white house, if trump does not have impeachable offenses that are actually lodged against him, if it's this futile gambit by the democrats, they would love
to feed off that. paint the resistance as extreme and fire up their own base. that's why i think the democratic leadership does not want to talk about this yet. okay, so the president this morning talking to ainsley earhardt on "fox & friends" saying how can you impeach somebody doing a good job questioning the articles of impeachment do not say count one, doing a great job. it's a high crime or misdemeanor and adult to burn that ballpark yet. the thing that surprises me a little bit about the democratic leadership is how they are not being terribly subtle about their opinion on this. they are telling their members let's not talk about this now or yet. let's let the voters have their say and then we will talk about it. it's very obvious what their plan is. >> it's a smart strategy, isn't it? you are a republican or part of the g.o.p., it's a smart one. there's nothing wrong with saying we are not going to talk about it. there's no need to talkative because he got to get a majority. >> shannon: an opinion piece in the "washington examiner"
said democrats would be for us to talk about and asked if democrats win back the house, the likelihood there will be in impeachment vote is higher than they seem to want to admit. impeachment legislation was introduced long before cohen implicate a president rouhani a campaign finance violation. >> lee split with the party leadership. there's nothing to talk about. it's clear that if you get the majority in house and senate and given the democrats and this president has given them a lot of reasons to want to impeach him beyond the politics, remember the mueller investigation is still out there. cohen is still cooperating. and so once that gets complete it which a lot of democrats think we ought to let it run its course and then figure out whether we're going to impeach someone or not. it's way too premature. i think the democrats are right. >> let's say hypothetically that the democrats control the house right now. same facts that come all the circumstances are exactly as they are today but nancy pelosi were speaker. would there be much more serious
talk of impeachment? >> if we are in the house, what's the count in the senate? the democrats would argue under your scenario, they say yes, there cohen. there is comey. emoluments. alleged abuse of women. that's more than enough for high crimes and misdemeanors. proven or unproven. it's a political process. >> shannon: i'm guessing you don't think that rises diagrams and missed meters. >> at this point, no. still we will leave it there. we are going to talk about the i word many times i have a feeling. thank you very much. up is down, black is white, hot is cold. two and half months before the midterm elections, could new jersey be trending red in texas going blue? our politics guru chris stirewalt is here.

>> shannon: democratic national committee says the tiber attack reported earlier this week exactly just a test. the dnc contacted the fbi on tuesday about fears of another russian attack on their system but it turns out it was just a miscommunication between the national committee in one of its state branches that had hired hackers to simulate an attack. a brand-new fox news poll shows while immigration is an important issue, it's not at the top of the list for voters. instead, health care, control of the house, the economy, and president trump are all polling higher. fox news politics editor chris stirewalt joins me to break it down. >> sympathetic, the michigan state democratic party that was doing the fake hack attack. it is cold in the upper peninsula of michigan. it's cold in russia, so maybe you could see the confusion. >> shannon: mystery solved. now we have a mystery about what voters care about. health care is number one. that's not something we've heard
about. democrats are talking about it. >> republicans don't want to talk about it because they screwed up. they blew it. they had their chance. that eight years particulars tr a replacement for obamacare. they haven't done a good job replacing it. what republicans have known for a long time was repeal, once you got to a certain point that enough people were getting health insurance through these programs which includes the expansion of medicaid but also subsidies. if you are not giving them a replacement, it's a nonstarter. democrats know that ending they know it's an issue that dovetails with the key demographic they are pursuing. moms, suburban college educated moms. what about your health insuranc insurance? i would point out, could we look at the graphic? >> shannon: we can look and see. health care. >> if we saw it again, we would see 54% control of house.
those are people who say i don't care. i am voting to take it away from the democrats or republicans. no offense to those voters. >> shannon: how much of it do you think has to do with impeachment? >> they call them the base because they always vote. they are hard partisans. they're going to be there in march for their party. issues like health care, issues like the economy, other things, that's how you move the swing voters, the persuadable voters that are going to decide whether you whether -- republicans hold the house by ten seats, that's in the math. then there is a scenario where they lose the house by 30 seats in both of those are in play. those swing voters are going to decide. >> shannon: that would not be good news for them. especially with talk of impeachment and other things and gridlock. >> americans like gridlock more than they admit.
>> shannon: we had pulling out yesterday, congress picked up to 23% approval which for them is good. to be out of the teens is gigantic. >> you know that americans hate congress but they like their member. the other 434 jerks come i don't like them. >> shannon: let's talk about races. new jersey. the democrat incumbent, senator bob menendez, he is in a lot of legal trouble. one of the stats that came out about him said 49% of people there polled believe he has been involved in "serious wrongdoing." he has been cleared legally. he has a tighter race than people would expect. >> you member pigpen from the charlie brown cartoon with the stink waves. menendez has a stink wave situation. a guy gaming the medicare system
and taking trips and it's not a good look. no offense to new jersey but even in new jersey where there might be a lower standard -- i say this is out west virginia. a lower standard for ethical conduct among politicians. it hurts him. they have a candidate, moderate businessman who can be a viable alternative. the race looks close. you mentioned texas. that's where beto o'rourke, who is a charismatic house member running against ted cruz, and the race looks close. all i would say, all i would tell you. late august is going to look very different than late september. partisans are going to come home to roost in both parties are looking at a little full gold out there. whether it's new jersey or texas come i don't know. >> shannon: a lot of undecideds. everyone is coming back. thank you. new information as we track

this is become less of a wind event and more of a rain event. the rain has been pummeling the big island, about 35 miles to the east. it is hammering the east side of the big island with, at one point, 15 inches in 12 hours. that rain is expected to come this way and drench us. this storm is breaking down a bit which is good but at the same time, it is sitting here which could be bad, especially if that rain all comes ashore. those who decided to stay prepared several days ago. people were warned about the storm. when you talk to them, they tell you they feel prepared even though they are not exactly sure what to expect. >> flashlights we will stock up on food and hunker down in our hotel room. >> if it isn't at least a cat 4, it's not even going to be interesting. >> will make the most of it. it's still a holiday. it's going to be exciting.
>> we do get some wind gusts coming through, and the rain, we expected to get worse. more of a rain event than a wind event. that's what forecasters believe. here on maui, we know that a lot of airlines have canceled flights friday in preparation as lane comes this way. back to you, shannon. >> shannon: adam housley in hawaii. thank you. our chief meteorologist is alive in the extreme weather center. good evening, rick. >> good evening. some good news coming out of the national hurricane center. the forecast cone has shifted a little bit west. that's good at least for this extreme wind. maybe not having as big of an impact. the rain has already had big impacts. the eastern side of the big island, 19 inches of rain in one location. incredible flooding. 13,000 feet high mountains. it rings the moisture out of the air mass, so the west side in kona, you're not getting nearly as much rain.
that will likely be the case on the western side of maui as well. the storm has weakened a little bit because of the sheer we've been talking about. it's a category 3 major hurricane. this is the forecast. you will notice all of the islands remaining out of the cone at this point. by tomorrow afternoon, continuing to pull north and we expect a westerly turn. by sunday, we are mostly done. we will salvage the early part of the week. some spots likely about 30 inches of rain. shannon, where you get that much rain, the ground it won't be able to sustain it. we will have mudslides and localized flooding. >> shannon: thank you. there's been plenty of bias against the vice president since the day mike pence was added to the ticket. a new book titled "the shadow president" claims he has a "christian supremacist." "new york times" says there's
problems with impeaching donald trump. a big one is the holy terror waiting in the wings. that would be mike pence. he is self infatuated, a bigot, also a liar, also cruel. here to discuss, ben shapiro. ben, great to have you with this. a holy terror? >> this is how you got trump. you say mitt romney is the worst guide. before that, john mccain. republicans were like fine, let's nominate this guy. he punches everything. how about that? then it turns out a matter how bad the republicans supposedly is, the next one will be even worse. mike pence would be worse. a scarier person. you think there are some limits to the links the left will go to portray republicans as bad. no matter how much they hate trump, they will hate the next guy more. sb one why do you think it's so easily and openly discussed and
mocked? the mainstream and the left, the idea of pence having a devout christian faith. omarosa said everyone wishing for impeachment might need to reconsider. we will be begging for the days of trump back. mike pence being directed by a higher deity no matter what. joy behar in february. >> it's one thing to talk to jesus. it's another thing when jesus talks to you. that's called mental illness, if i'm not correct. >> shannon: there was enough backlash that she ended up apologizing. >> i think vice president pence is right. i was raised to respect everyone's religious faith and i fell short of that. i sincerely apologize for what i said. >> shannon: why do you think it's okay to christian basham so much? >> there is a baseline level of hatred for christians on the cultural left it's most evident in new york and los angeles.
there is this belief that everyone who believes -- they are acting out their religion in public. they are using the religion as a cover for bigotry. it's what they are using. they say that about mike pence. truly there is a tyrannical ascendancy tendency. it demonstrates the militant secularism of the left and demonstrates why putting those people in charge is dangerous. they believe religious folks are by nature bigots. it's no wonder they are always attempting to crack down on folks who have a religious bent despite the fact that the constitution was designed to preserve religious freedom. >> shannon: this goes pretty far with the language against
pence. warning people that if he becomes president, you're looking at a theocracy. makes it sound like the mullahs of iran are taking over. >> i found it bewildering that folks claiming that mike pence is going to to run theocracy, y also want federal gun control. they ignore the fact that mike pence is a constitutional conservative. the only theocrat's are the folks on the left who want to invade rights and force people to do things they don't want to do. it's more common on the left than the right. they are using their own theocratic tendencies towards government which a lot of folks on the radical left c is a quasi-godlike figure. >> shannon: the piece in "the federalist." this kind of elitist bigotry.

instead of storming the building as trained, while students were bleeding and dying. these new videos do not show or prove that. this evening, a senate funding bill for the department of education passed 80-7 without addressing the grant money for guns idea. however, this fight likely is not over since the house and senate must merge their bills later this fall. shannon. >> shannon: phil keating, thank you very much. we salute to heroes on the anniversary of hurricane harvey. dr. stephen kemo was needed to perform an emergency surgery on a teenager at clearlake regional medical center. the streets were flooded. a first responder met kamel at his home. we are told that they ran the first leg through water. they drove the second part and finally they had to get into a canoe. they finished the last half mile wading through waist deep water to get to the clinic.

A recap of the day's headlines and a look at what's in store for tomorrow.
cohen, the manafort ruling, and the president's reaction. >> a lot happening tonight. democrats pushing talk of impeachment, but president trump is fighting back. tweeting that the only thing he did wrong was when an election that hillary clinton was supposed to emerge victorious i in. in an exclusive interview with "fox & friends" ainsley earhardt, the president lashing out at michael cohen. the president had said publicly paid stormy daniels because he wanted to go straight it was false in the waning days of the campaign and the president is getting backup from liberal law professor alan dershowitz who told bret baier that the pundits claiming the president is an unindicted coconspirator are wrong as a matter of basic criminal law. it would not be a crime for the president to contribute money to his own campaign in the form of money to stormy daniels or anyone else. even as democrats about their attacks on the president, for having his personal lawyer, cohen pleading guilty to multiple crimes while his former campaign chair paul manafort has been found guilty of multiple crimes as well.
>> i don't know if you know but i tweeted about the payments. but they didn't come out of campaign. in fact, my first question when i heard about it was due date come out of the campaign? because that could be a little dicey. they didn't come out of the campaign. that's big. but that's not -- it's not even a campaign violation. >> every single remedy, including indictment of the president, should be on the table. >> they are not going to get close on an impeachment track. they are not going to find the crime. at the moment, that who knows, manafort may flip. cohen may provide other evidence. >> a lot of what-ifs. the president seems to be making a clear distinction between cohen and manafort, tweeting that anyone looking for a good lawyer should never hire cohen, also a tweet that seemed to suggest a pardon for manafort could be in the offing. "i feel very badly for paul manafort and his wonderful family. "justice" took a 12 year old tax case, among other things,
through all the evidence, and there were four boxes, four paper boxes to look through. >> shannon: was it confusing? at one point there was a question from the jury about whether the counts, the various counts, could be connected to the evidence would be linked to them. do you feel like there was a good job by the mueller team putting together exactly what, leading you down the path they wanted you to get to? >> we didn't want that question out there either. when they gave us the box, it was listed what was in each folder. each folder had a number. when you looked at your notes and looked at what witnesses were connected to each charge, it was pretty easy to connect the dots. so most of us had no problem with that. >> shannon: what were the deliberations lie? was it heated? >> it was. crazily enough, there were even tears. two of the jurors, one of the females that did finally change her vote to guilty, would come in one day and saying guilty and then the next day say i felt
A recap of the day's headlines and a look at what's in store for tomorrow.
what you decided on the back end? >> the charters were legitimate but the prosecution try to make the case about the russian inclusion right from the beginning of course the judge shut them down. we didn't -- we did waste a bit of time with the shenanigans. >> shannon: did the president's name come up in the liberations? was it politicized? >> it was because in the evidence, there were references to trump and to his son-in-law and to the trump campaign, especially the pay to play issue. so it did come up. >> shannon: did you feel like there were jurors who were either like yourself pro president trump or anti-and that influence their reasoning in any way? >> no, i don't. i think we all went in there like we were supposed to and assumed that mr. manafort was innocent. we did due diligence. we apply the evidence, our notes, the witnesses, and we came up with the guilty verdict on the eight counts. >> shannon: 11 of the 12
mr. manafort himself not to tes. do that influence you at all? >> they did. i understand why they didn't do it. we are supposed to assume he's innocent and therefore he does not need to defend himself. in the judge made that very clear that there is no requirement for him to do so. however, based on what i saw, what i heard, i think i would have liked to of heard a little more from the defense. they gave a very easy going atmosphere to the whole thing. they objected to very little. they appeared agreeable throughout it all. their crosses were short when they cross-examined the witnesses. i don't know. i think i expected a little more. >> shannon: okay. rick gates of course was a business associate of paul manafort. he was the key to the whole prosecution and the defense seemed like most of their case was going to be trying to discredit him, undermine him,
talking about him stealing from paul manafort. affair or affairs they suggested he might have had. how did he strike you as a witness? >> nervous. some of us had a problem with accepting his testimony because he took the plea. and so we agreed to throw out his testimony and look at the paperwork. which his name was all over. >> shannon: did you find him to be credible? >> no, i think he would have done anything that he could to preserve himself. that's just obvious in the fact that he flipped on manafort. >> shannon: a key witness. he wasn't the thing that turned it for you. what about cindy laporta, the tax preparer, bookkeeper who also was testifying. how critical sheedy wall? >> some of us thought she was a good witness. others do not. i believe her.
i think she felt contrite about her involvement. i understand why she did it but that didn't make it right. i think she was key to me because we saw the documents. now we know how they got there. >> shannon: what about judge ellis? folks thought he was a character. was he equally tough on both sides? >> i think he would have been equally tough on both sides had the defense been up there more. he appeared tougher to the prosecution simply because the prosecution was up there the most. he said some funny things like for instance, when andres forgot to mention the thing and he came back with a comment about confession is good for the soul. >> shannon: he does have clips and things he says along the wa way. this is something he said before
the trial, before you were involved, he's had with the prosecutors you don't really care about mr. manafort's bank fraud. you really care about what information he might give you about mr. trump and what might lead to his impeachment or prosecution. what do you make of that characterization? >> exact spot on. >> shannon: you think this was an unfair prosecution, although you ultimately -- she would've convicted him on all 18, or is it how the case came to be that's the problem? >> how it came to be and how it was handled, the intention of god. how they try to related to trump and that it was the first one. in mueller's lineup. it might have been a tax audit but it wasn't. i think they used manafort to try to get the dirt on trump or hoping he would flip on trump. >> shannon: that's not what this try was about. he is proceeding to another trial in d.c. were you aware that the separate proceeding would happen? >> i was not at the beginning. >> shannon: how how hard was
it to stay away from everything you're supposed to during the tl and not talk to other jurors until you are really in deliberations? >> the hard part was now talking about the case to the jurors because we spent a lot of time waiting in a small room. i tried to lead people, like what is your favorite food? because we play those games, i can tell you the youngest, including the alternates, was in her mid-20s. the oldest on our jury was 69. average age in the mid-50s. one person drove 108 miles round trip every day do this. i was almost there but i was the second furthest away. one person only drove 5 miles round-trip. >> shannon: did you ever have hesitation once he realized this trial was going to be, that you are being questioned for, getting involved with it? >> can you say that again? >> shannon: once he realized i am being called to be a juror on the paul manafort track, did you have any hesitation about being
a juror? >> not at all. it's my civic duty. i am pleased to serve my country in any way i can. >> shannon: all right, you will definitely shed some light on it. paula duncan, thank you. statement. our panel of experts joins me to break down what we just heard. first, new details emerging about the suspect in the murder of mollie tibbetts. how the mandeb officials say is an illegal immigrant landed a job in this country and lived in iowa undetected for more than four years. >> this raises questions about his immigration employments and criminal history and we must receive answers. >> shannon: another fox news that night exclusive. house majority leader kevin mccarthy joins us live. we've got some new fox news pause. we're going to drill down on the g.o.p.'s plan to defy history and try to hold over the house through the november midterms. but ever since he bought a new house...
tom: it's a $10 cover? oh, okay. didn't see that on the website. he's been acting more and more like his dad. come on, guys! jump in! the water's fine! tom pritchard. how we doin'? hi, there. tom pritchard. can we get a round of jalapeño poppers for me and the boys, please? i've been saving a lot of money with progressive lately, so... progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents. but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. but we can protect your home and auto with uncontrolled moderor atopic dermatitis, you never know how your skin will look. and it can feel like no matter what you do, you're itching all the time. but even though you see and feel your eczema on the surface of your skin, an overly sensitive immune system deep within your skin might actually be causing your eczema. so help heal your skin from within. with dupixent. dupixent is not a steroid, and it continuously treats your eczema even when you can't see it. at 16 weeks, more than 1 in 3 patients saw clear or almost clear skin, and patients saw a significant reduction in itch.

impi decided thatncy is i wanted to got. for electrical engineering and you need to go to college for that. if i didn't have internet in the home i would have to give up more time with my kids. which is the main reason i left the military. everybody wants more for their kids, but i feel like with my kids, they measurably get more than i ever got. and i get to do that. i get to provide that for them. >> shannon: this is a fox news alert. there is a hurricane warning for hawaii residents on the big island of maui. the category for transform is scheduled to make landfall tomorrow prompting some emergency shelters to open early in the public school system to close for the rest of the week. the navy's moving ships and submarines out of the stage. they want to visit them to be
able to help with response efforts that they are needed. residents rushed to the stock up on supplies. officials warned of damaging winds, prolonged heavy rainfall, and life-threatening flash flooding. new details tonight on the shocking murder case it's feeling even more outrage over our immigration system and sparking a national conversation on just that. anita vogel is here. good evening. >> good evening, shannon. what started out as a story about a missing young woman in middle america is now front and center in the debate over illegal immigration. the suspect accused of murdering college student mollie tibbetts, 24-year-old cristhian rivera, made his first court appearance may. officials say he is confessed to following tibbetts while she was jogging and said he blacked out in the next thing he remembered was finding her bloodied body in his trunk. authorities at he entered the country illegally some four to seven years ago and had been working at yarrabee farms near where tibbetts went missing.
originally the owner said that they had used the e-verify system which allows employers to confirm their eligibility status of employees to work in the u.s. but earlier today, one of the farm owners had to walk that back. >> what we learned in the last 24 hours is that our employee was not who he said he was. and just within the last four hours, we have come to learn that the social security administration employment verification service is not the same as e-verify. >> law enforcement officials say in fact rivera used fake documentation to obtain work at the farm and he had zero immigration status in this country. the story now ratcheting up the immigration debate just ahead of the midterm elections. with democrats charging that by focusing on individual criminal cases, republicans are restoring the idea that integrates are more prone to violent crime.
president trump the point is rivera never should have been in the country in the first place. >> mollie tibbetts, an incredible young woman, is now permanently separated from her family. a person came in from mexico illegally and killed her. we need the wall. we need our immigration laws changed. >> now, rivera is currently being held on a $5 million cash bond. his. preliminary hearing set for august 31, and shannon, there will be cameras in the court room. we will all be watching that. >> shannon: anita, thank you very much. mollie tibbetts' death has reignited a political firestorm over immigration reform in this country. some say politics should not be part of this tragedy at all. tonight's panel. former ohio senate minority leader capri cafaro and senior columnist at townhall.com, kurt schlichter. welcome to both.
at the end of the news report, he saw the video the white house put out with the president talked about mollie tibbetts' case and same with gotti at the wall. we've got to reform our law. in, being victims of crime because of illegal aliens. illegal aliens in large part are not committing other crimes besides breaking into the country. but a certain number of them are, and if we don't enforce our laws, we are going to continue to see kate steinles, and molly tibbetts. the numbers keep rising. we have to enforce the laws that our legislators passed. >> shannon: these are laws, whether you hate them are like them, they were duly passed by congress. a lot of people say they are not being enforced. the system is broken and congress seems to be unable to get anything done. >> obviously there are significant issues when it comes to our immigration laws. part of that is because we have
gridlock in the united states congress and neither democrats nor republicans are willing to come together and find something between build a wall and abolish i.c.e. there is a consensus place in the middle of all this that we absolutely have to address in order to move the nation forward. we do need to enforce laws but take this tragic circumstance in iowa. you have an employer that at least it sounded like in good faith trying to verify this individual's immigration status. the system failed them. so how are you even supposed to enforce the law this individual when he couldn't even figure out whether or not he was legally in the country. >> shannon: there are reports, the family that owns this farm is saying this guy is not who we thought he was. there was one report in "the washington post" that he was using a stolen i.d. how do you fix it? >> well, that happens all the time, shannon. if you or i were using a stolen i.d., we would go to jail.
if an illegal alien doesn't, we have an establishment that wants to excuse it. the fact is he got into this country. he shouldn't have. we should be able to secure our borders. that's the most basic -- these are the most basic drops of any government. to secure a country's borders, protect its people. we are feeling that that's a choice of a significant number of the members of our establishment. a choice not to enforce these laws because many of them want illegal immigration. >> shannon: is that fair, capri? >> i think it's a little bit overstated. here's why. i think there is an underlying narrative the democrats want to flood the country with illegal immigrants because somehow this is going to become our voting base in 2020 for example. so if we grant amnesty to all these people, we get a new voting base. >> shannon: why wouldn't they vote for you if you give them amnesty? >> it's making the assumption that immigrants of any stripe, usually we are talking about
individuals in the hispanic and latino communities. making the assumption that there can a blanket they put on one issue. you have many other nuances, including faith. many of them are catholic. they are not a monolithic voting base. there are a number of us who respect the job that is done by our law enforcement and i.c.e., that want to see some kind of conference of immigration reform that includes strengthening the borders. is it abolish i.c.e. or build a wall? we need to find a middle ground for all americans. and also to retain our history as an immigrant nation. >> shannon: final word, kurt. >> my latin immigrant wife, illegal immigrant whose family came here, joined the army, built lives here, she is scared. she is scared for our kids. this is out of control. we need to take control of our borders to protect the american people. >> shannon: it gets harder to
do that if you abolish i.c.e. to pray, as he said, there's a split over that and not everybody on the left wanted to happen but there's a vocal group that does. capri and kurt, thanks so much. coming up, back to breaking down the interview with paula duncan, a juror from the paul manafort trial. >> america needed to know how close this was. the evidence was overwhelming. i didn't want paul manafort to be guilty, but he was. no one is above the law. >> shannon: polls show republicans have an uphill battle to keep control of the house and the midterms. can they do it? how? house majority leader kevin mccarthy tells us his plan next. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough.
xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell you doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. needles. fine for some things. but for you, one pill a day may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. an "unjection™".
you shouldn't be rushed into booking a hotel. with expedia's add-on advantage, booking a flight unlocks discounts on select hotels until the day you leave for your trip. add-on advantage. only when you book with expedia. add-on advantage. pah! thano, no, no, nah.k. a bulb of light?!? aha ha ha! a flying machine? impossible! a personal' computer?! ha! smart neighborhoods running on a microgrid. a stadium powered with solar. a hospital that doesn't lose power. amazing. i like it. never gonna happen. now i know you're thinking, "i don't want to hear about insurance." cause let's be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right? which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i'm highly likable.
i like dennis quaid. awww. and they want me to let you know that, cue overdramatic music, they're on a mission to make insurance painless. excuse me, you dropped this. they know it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting, dennis quaid. that's why they're making it simple, man in cafe. and they know it's expensive. yeah. so they're making it affordable. thank you. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. now, you might not believe any of this since this is a television commercial, but that's why they're being so transparent. anyways. this is the end of the commercial where i walk off into a very dramatic sunset to reveal the new esurance tagline so that you'll remember it. esurance. it's surprisingly painless. >> shannon: brand-new fox news poll shows democrats and a strong position going into the midterms. calls for president trump's
impeachment move from fringe to the mainstream with the news of michael cohen's plea deal. house majority leader congressman kevin mccarthy joins us live to weigh in on all of it. mr. leader, welcome. great to have you with us. >> thanks for having real. >> shannon: what level of pressure do you feel at this point has a republican to embrace or distance yourself from the president? >> not to distance myself at all. this president has done a tremendous job rebuilding the economy, rebuilding our militar military, and every step along the way. i know what you have watched and seen out there, not one of the items that i saw, from manafort or cohen had anything to do with rush of collusion or anything else in that manner. this president has worked hard, has stood strong. that's why i think when this election comes around, you're going to see republicans maintain the house. >> shannon: we are going to talk with our legal panel and a couple minutes about what the cohen guilty plea does or
doesn't do with regard to the president. what's your understanding or your feeling about the fact that he stood there and said on these two campaign finance accounts that the president directed him to do something specific. people agree and disagree about whether it's a criminal act or not but cohen does directly link him to it. >> shannon: what the justice department say about cohen yesterday? he is someone that has a pattern of lies and disbelief, dishonesty for extended periods of time. that's what the justice department said about cohen just yesterday. he has lied. dishonest for an extended period of time. my point of view, the whole investigation was about russia collusion. this has nothing to do with it. the president, i see nothing wrong. >> shannon: i want to read something to you and give you a chance to respond. the headline is "silence is
complicity on trump california republicans are guilty. they say republican leaders of the legislative branch or failing to fulfill their constitutional duty to provide checks and balances on trump and mccarthy has given little indication that he would change that on his watch as speaker. mccarthy has not said anything about cohen, how much he is willing to time subject dropped in pursuit of the speaker's gavel and the power that comes with it." your response. >> i wouldn't expect anything less from "the sacramento bee." let's remember what we've done. we built an economy that's created 4 million new jobs since the election. we have passed a tax bill that has lowered unemployment to the lowest points we've seen for african-americans, women, so many different aspects. think of this, in the last 49 years in the history of america, unemployment has only been below 4% eight months in those 49 years. three of those eight months were just this year. we have stopped human trafficking on online systems. we have also passed the most
comprehensive ability to stop opioid epidemic. this congress has also invested in the military. we have reformed the g.i. bill. in history, you only had 15 years to lose it or you lost it. now it's for a lifetime. i think we've gone beyond and we have so much more work to do. we have passed, starting to build the wall. to secure our border. one of the democrats down? not one of them voted for the taxco that created 1.5 million new jobs. not one democrat voted in the two times we had before us to have immigration reform and secure the border. what have the democrats put across? that they want to abolish i.c.e. they want to impeach the president. that's what they voted on twice. tom steyer's brags that his list is bigger than the nra to impeach the president. what else do they want to do with our health care system? they want to bankrupt medicare.
cost more than $32 trillion but would end medicare as we know it. 55% of americans of health care based upon their employer. that would be no more. this is the plan democrats have. but you also see it much different -- it's results versus resistance. >> shannon: we have a lot of fox news poll survey. one of the top things people talked about they care about in this election is health care. above that was the economy. good news for you guys on the economy. when people are asked who is most responsible for the current economy, far and away, trump-republicans took the honors. 44%. democrats and president obama at 15%. you have that as a positive but you also have this talking about your opinion of the democratic party and the republican party. democratic party has a 50% favorable. republican party is upside down for 17 points. 39% favorable. giving credit for the economy but they are not happy with the
party. how do you campaign based on those numbers? think we are looking at a poll today. if i went back two weeks ago, and i looked at the generic ballot, that generic ballot two weeks ago was the exact same ballad it was the day before the 2016 election. we won the presidency. we won the senate and we also maintain the house. this election is different than any election i've seen before. it's going to weave back and forth week by week. what we have to do is continually solve problems, build results. what you see, why the economy, the republicans are winning. not one democrat voted for the tax bill. what are they proposing? you wash what's happening across the country. when i was in sacramento last week and they were protesting me, over immigration, we were arresting omar ameen. he was allowed to come in the
country. what did he do? killed a police officer in iraq because he's part of al qaeda and isis. we need to secure our border, and that's what we've been working on. >> shannon: one thing the parties agree on is that there's a lot of immigration things that need to be cleaned up. whether you can find consensus, we are tuned in. let us know. mr. leader, it's great to have you with us. >> thank you, shannon. this election, it's going to be about result or resistance and i think at the end of the day, the american people will pick results. >> shannon: there is a lack of motivation on both sides and a lot of resistance out there, as you know. thank you so much. we will see you again soon. on tuesday, a northern virginia jury found paul manafort guilty on eight counts of tax and bank fraud. tonight one of those jurors spoke exclusively to "fox news @ night." our legal panel weighs in on what they heard next. >> the charges were legitimate, but the prosecution tried to make the case about the russian collusion right from the beginning. of course, the judge shut them down on that.

it's a new day at wells fargo. but it's a lot like our first day. >> i thought the public, america needed to know how close this was and that the evidence was overwhelming. i did not want paul manafort to be guilty, but he was. no one is above the law. it was our obligation to look through all the evidence, and there were four boxes, four paper boxes full of paper to look through. >> shannon: you heard exclusively from a paul manafort juror about the deliberations that lead to a guilty verdict on eight charges but left ten others unsettled. that was paula duncan. time now for reaction from our legal experts. harmeet dhillon. great to have you both. harmeet, i'll start with you. she decided to speak out. the judge sealed the names.
she wanted people to know what went on behind closed doors. >> you always seek it as a trial lawyer. it's fascinating to hear with the jurors are focused on and it's usually not what the lawyers thing. for example, noticing people are cat napping kind of reminds us lawyers we have to be on alert and on our best behavior at all times. the jury really is paying attention. i found it fascinating. i thought it was great she shared with people whether thought process was and that she's not afraid. it gives me a lot of hope for our democracy. >> shannon: interesting that she said rick gates, the guy who was supposed to be the prosecution's star witness, and a lot of them were turned off by him and they didn't exactly -- all of them find him credible. tom, the said that paper trail was -- the testifying with the documents let them where the prosecution one of them to go. >> that was when the more
fascinating aspects and one of the points that resonated with me. she was saying how in some cases the jurors almost tuned out the actual testimony because they had doubts or concerns about the credibility of the witnesses. they base their deliberations on large part on the documents which is fantastic. it warms my heart as a litigato litigator. a lot of times you throw tech heavy documents at a jury, and you wonder is anyone going to look through these? in this case, it seems they did. >> shannon: 18 counts. they found him guilty on eight. this is close again. there was one person who didn't want to say guilty on 18. he is not polyatomic and told us. >> we didn't wanted to be hung, so we tried for an extended period of time to convince her. but in the end, she held out. that's why we have ten counts the did not get a verdict. >> shannon: harmeet, anything you heard that may lead this team to decide they want to prosecute those ten counts again?
>> oh, i don't know. the evidence was pretty, you know, there was a lot of documentary evidence here. i think that if i were the prosecution, i would probably be focusing on the other trial and seeing if they can leverage a settlement plea from manafort there. rather than feeding the dead horse here. they've already got him on dozens of years of potential sentencing. i am not sure it's a great use of taxpayer resources. >> shannon: tom, they went round and round but that person had reasonable doubt. you don't move forward. the judge sent them back with the special charge to take another look. ultimately one person makes all the difference on ten of those charges. >> it's true. that's the system, love it or hated. one juror can make a big difference if he or she is determined to halt out for the one thing i will say, shannon, there really impressed me is that it's clear this jury afforded paul manafort the presumption of innocence. we heard how she said she didn't want him to be guilty they came into this. she was a trump supporter. she came into this thing she did
wanted to be true. but the evidence left him no choice. >> shannon: she said she supported the president and she felt like much of the genesis of the mueller investigation, she has serious columns of questions about but when presented with the evidence and this is, she was left with no other option. tom, harmeet, stay where you are. we are going to come back and discuss if tuesday's manafort verdict or put the cohen plea deal with the president in legal jeopardy or if it's a lot of bluster. il change also includes a tire rotation. book an appointment online.

panel. tom dupree and harmeet dhillon. that there is "no question" the president has committed a federal crime. tom. >> i don't believe what lanny is saying is exactly accurate to say the least. for one thing, all that happened was the president's former lawyer entered a plea bargain in which he made allegations and admissions concerning his conduct. that does not automatically mean that the president is guilty. in fact, if the president someday were called upon to defend himself in a court of law, i think you would have very strong defenses to this very charge. the other point of course is of the ultimate audience is the congress. if we are talking possible impeachment, maybe this has relevance. as far as whether the president could be charged with a federal crime, bob mueller has been absolutely clear he's going to follow and respected department of justice guidelines which says you cannot and shall not indict a sitting president. >> shannon: lanny davis says commodity can be indicted, it's never been decided. we have to guidance documents from the justice department in 1973 and 2000.
harmeet, is that settled? rudy giuliani says he's gotten assurances from mueller's team verbally that they acknowledge the doj guidelines that you can indict a sitting president. >> yes, i mean, i think that's pretty settled, frankly. it the noise lanny davis, paid k of the clinton since the 90s, is spreading around other media, the communication messaging geared at impeachment. as has been previously said, there is no evidentiary value to michael cohen's sudden swap on the issue. previously he said something completely different and now he is trying to save his hide. you can't really blame him for that but throwing your client under the bus, breaking a sacred oath and trust of attorney-client privilege and pointing the finger in a self-serving way is nothing but opportunistic and i think it will be seen by such by the
public. >> shannon: the consideration the senate has of judge brett kavanaugh to be the next supreme court justice. a number saying with the cohen stuff in mind of the fact that brett kavanaugh has made statements about whether or not sitting presidents can be indicted, there's no way we can't confirm him and we have to put the brakes on. >> it's absurd, that argument. makes no sense. there's a lot of people wanting to stop judge kavanaugh. i think it's confirmation is inevitable. this is a hail mary pass by people trying to postpone her or find some way to stop. no connection, no reason to delay judge kavanaugh's confirmation to the united states supreme court. >> shannon: harmeet, what do you make about the claims? democrats have stepped up to say that even if brett kavanaugh gets through, he must recuse himself from any case he would hear dealing with this presiden
president. >> it's complete garbage. it's kind of pathetic. social media, we can quickly and real-time compare they cut and paste talking point of the senators. they would have a lot more credibility if they were selective in their outrage, but they are not. it's just scattershot outrage and autopilot outrage and it really distracts from their credibility. the days when people would hold their fire on both sides and sometimes let the other guys go by. the nominee could have been way worse for democrats and more extreme than brett kavanaugh. this is a silly point. >> shannon: to look back at current members of the court being voted in 96-0. seems like those days are behind us. thank you both for joining us. great to see you. and to our viewers, most watched, most trusted, most grateful you spend your evening with us. good night from washington. i am shannon bream. tom ink desib

A recap of the day's headlines and a look at what's in store for tomorrow.
lawyer would have done what jeff sessions did. he was part of the campaign, you can't oversee an investigation of a campaign you were part of so he had to recuse himself. shannon: why does the president get that? >> i don't know. is that a lawyer, he is frustrated, he thinks this is a witchhunt, jeff did the right thing legally but mueller is now very deep into his investigation. this conflict is far beyond mueller and recusal. this is not a good working relationship from what i can tell. for the good of the nation we need an attorney general that has the confidence of the president and i'm not blaming jeff sessions. there is no finer man but at the end of the day there are plenty of conservative judges and lawyers that i think could do this job, the we can get somebody confirmed but if he does replace jeff sessions the burden will be on the president to pick somebody highly qualified, give mueller the space he needs to finish his investigation but i say this
appointments, we serve at the pleasure of the president so i find it quite frankly wrong for the senate to reject the idea that donald trump can't replace his attorney general. >> you are saying before the midterms no way. >> we don't have enough time, we have brett cavanagh, an election coming up and i say this loving jeff sessions but for the country's sake and the department of justice's say, we need somebody that can have the trust of the president. this relationship is going to get better or result in a new face and a new voice of the department of justice. >> graham's comments appeared to be an unprompted invitation to the president to take action if he wishes, a wink and a nod gesture that he has a friend in the senate, you guys are friends, if grassley chooses to go to the senate finance committee graham would become judiciary committee chairman. up for reelection in 2020 being close to trump would stave off a primary challenge. >> here is what i say about that.
of senator grassley knows the finance committee, i will become chairman in the traditions of the senate. i hope he stays because i think he has been a great chairman. i saying on national television the obvious, jeff sessions and donald trump do not enjoy a healthy relationship. i'm not blaming jeff sessions, i think he is highly ethical and very competent but this is not working and at the end of the day people in the department of justice, the president deserves an attorney general that has his confidence. i'm not suggesting that he fired jeff sessions because he's not a political hack. i'm suggesting if he can't work with jeff sessions he has the right to pick somebody who is competent and the burden will be on the president to pick somebody he has confidence in. >> next time you play golf let us know if he has any names. >> we will see what he does which i hate that it came to us but it is obvious something has got to give. >> thanks for coming in tonight.
donald trump's former lawyer pleaded guilty to breaking finance laws, legal experts are at odds whether that means any legal trouble for the president. let's get clarity from former chief assistant us attorney andrew mccarthy, great to have you with us tonight. i want to read something from bradley smith who said these laws are so vague and confusing, increasingly campaign finance laws illustrate the classic situation where the governments can always get you for something, to the question of what they will get you for. is this one of those cases? >> there is reason to be concerned about that because i think the history here is the federal election commission has taken a different approach to some of the campaign finance laws than the justice department has. what that has led to particularly in the prosecution
of john edwards a few years back is a very aggressive, on the margins of the justice department's enforcement authority a very aggressive take on what campaign-finance laws holes and it did not work out well for the justice department. they convinced the judge to let the case go the jury but the jury acquitted on one count, hung on the rest and when doj took another look they said they are not doing well again. >> mark penn, former clinton pollster, democratic i wrote an op-ed in the hill and this is what he said about the edwards case when there were hundreds of thousands of dollars funneled to take care of a woman he had a child with. and a lot of similar parallels. none of the donors in the 2012 john edwards case face any legal issues and the federal election commission ruled payments were
not campaign contributions that had to be reported. both facts prosecutors tried to suppress at trial. why is it different from michael cohen? why he pleads guilty to these charges if that is how it worked out in this case? >> i think it is different with respect when you are talking about the candidate versus somebody who donates to the candidate. and donald trump's instance what i would say is his best defense is the government couldn't possibly prove beyond reasonable doubt that he violated campaign-finance law. one of the charges at the very least out of the two that are leveled against cohen and the charges he pled guilty to earlier this week donald trump couldn't possibly commit it because they are two different charges that are very different in nature against cohen. one is that he made excessive campaign contributions, he
exceeded the $2700 limit that applies to individuals making campaign contributions, that doesn't apply to the president. he doesn't have a dollar limit. i don't see how he could be guilty of that count. the other charge is not that cohen actually made an illegal campaign contribution but caused a corporation, the american media, caused them to make an in-kind contribution. there is no evidence the president did that. jillian: they are cooperating, talks with prosecutors, it is about the president. we don't know when that immunity was made. >> it is not irrelevant to the
president but when you look at this, april shortly after these guys, the company got subpoena, the government didn't know cohen was going to plead guilty, and what probably happened in the spring time. shannon: thank you so much. it made a difference when it did occur. us president has never been removed from office by impeachment. more and more democrats are using the i word their leadership is shying away. the president's lawyer says that won't happen. >> everything cohen says, you can only impeach him for political reasons. jillian: we talk about that with the panel, hurricane lane pounding the hawaiian islands, we have the latest update on the

never happened before. >> reporter: the bar is high, only two president have been impeached, andrew johnson and bill clinton, both were acquitted but when it comes to donald trump talk of impeachment has been swirling around him ever since he was sworn in, maybe before. just this week the president said it would be bad for the country. >> i don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job. if i ever got impeached i think the market would crash. >> reporter: first, impeachment charges are introduced in the house based on treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors, the house committee investigates whether the charges are warranted and if yes, lay out the accusations. a simple majority is needed to improve the articles of impeachment and advance the case to the senate. the senate and conduct a trial presided over by the chief
justice of the united states, in this case john roberts. conviction occurs if two thirds of the senate finds the president guilty. it is not clear exactly what the crime is donald trump has committed at this point but critics are working hard to find one. the conviction of his former campaign chair and guilty plea from a former lawyer on tax evasion and other charges most of the media is drumming up a firestorm. >> the president is clearly guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. he should resign his office or be impeached. >> impeach trump. >> there are deep and difficult and troubling questions and criminal law shouldn't be used against people when it is up in the air and confused. shannon: last year several democrats introduced articles of impeachment against the president and while those efforts failed some save democrats take back the house this november, they could certainly be emboldened to try again.
shannon: thank you very much. let's talk about it with our panel, fox news contributor guy benson, people have been impeached but no one has been kicked out of office is what i meant to say. all the stuff that has not happened under those circumstances. the president talked about how the markets will crash if he is impeached and certainly there is instability and insecurity when these kinds of things happen. wall street analysts generally agree a protracted impeachment fight could weigh on stocks giving trump to -- any drop on wall street would be based on the uncertainty of the outcome rather than a real fear of a post trump presidency. >> wall street and stocks are resilient. stocks may not have dropped, it
is a roller coaster and other business initiatives. is a great economy? stocks have been up on the barack obama, i think the president is taking too much credit for the economy and what will happen to the stock market simply because of his presence in the white house. shannon: there are those in the beltway, it and risking a higher turnout among donald trump's supporters. >> i don't think it is a conspiracy theory that the white house if trump does not have impeachable offenses that are
lodged against him against this futile gambit by the democrats, they would love to feed off of that and paint the resistance as extreme and fire up their own base and that is why the democratic leadership does not want to talk about this yet. the president talked to ainsley ehrhardt saying how can you impeach someone who is doing a good job? articles of impeachment would not say count one, doing a great job. it would be a high crime or misdemeanor and nowhere in that ballpark yet. the thing that surprises me about the democratic leadership is how they are not being terribly subtle about their opinion on this, telling their members, let's not talk about this now but let's have the voters have their say and then talk about it. it is obvious what their plan is. >> your republican or part of the gop, there is no need to talk about it.
>> democrats should be forced to talk about it. the likelihood of an impeachment vote is higher than they want to admit. impeachment legislation was introduced long before cohen implicated donald trump but they took two votes, the second one, 66 democrats said let's move forward. >> they split with party leadership even back then. there's nothing to talk about. it is inherent that if you get the majority in the house and senate and given democrats and this president has given them a lot of reasons to want to impeach him beyond the politics. the mueller investigation, cohen is still cooperating and once that is completed was a lot of democrats think to figure out whether to impeach someone or not, democrats are right to read their answers in that. >> let's say democrats controlled the house right now, same facts, circumstances
exactly the same as they are today, if nancy pelosi were speaker with their be serious talk of impeachment? >> what is the incentive? >> two thirds over there. >> democrats under the scenario. comey. and high crimes and misdemeanors -- not based -- shannon: you don't think that rises to high crimes and misdemeanors. >> i disagree. >> we will talk about the high word many times again. up is down, black is white, hot is called, two months before the midterm election could new jersey be trending read and texas going. ? the latest numbers right after this. ♪

shannon: democratic national committee says a cyber attack reported earlier this week was just a test. the dnc contacted the fbi about fears of another russian attack on the system but turns out it was a miscommunication between the national committee and one of its state branches that hired hackers to simulate an attack. donald trump made immigration a major issue in the november election in hopes of galvanizing republican voters. a fox news poll shows immigration is an important issue, it is not at the top of the list for voters. instead healthcare, control of the house, the economy and donald trump polling higher. editor of the halftime report joins me now to break it down. >> michigan state democratic party doing the fake hack attack and it is called in russia -- you could see the confusion. mystery solved. shannon: we have a mystery about what voters care about,
healthcare is number one, not something we heard about on capitol hill. it pops up here and there but -- >> democrats talk about it but republicans don't want to talk about it because they screwed up. they had their chance, eight years to put together a replacement for obamacare. they have done a good job taking it away but haven't done a good job replacing it and what republicans have known for a long time was repeal, once you got to a certain point enough people were getting health insurance through these programs including expansion of medicaid and subsidies for middle-class people so they could buy insurance if you're not giving them a replacement it is a nonstarter. democrats know that and this is an issue that dovetails with the key demographic, suburban, college-educated moms. what about your health insurance? could we look at the graphic one more time?
shannon: we can work down. >> if we saw it again we would see 50% control of the house, 54%, those are people who say i don't care, i am voting to take it away from the republicans or take away from the democrats. no offense to those voters. shannon: what does that have to do with what we were talking about which is impeachment? >> these are people they call the base because they always vote. hard partisans and they are going to march for their party. issues like healthcare, issues like the economy and other things is how you move swing voters you need that will decide whether or not there are two scenarios, when is they hold the house by ten seats. then there is another one where they lose by 30 seats and both of those are in play right now. those voters will decide which end of the spectrum it is. shannon: that would not be good news for them. we have a lot of that.
i will say, to be out of the team is gigantic for them. >> you know the special phenomenon, americans hate congress. the other 434. can we go to new jersey, we have a situation where the democrat incumbent bob menendez got in legal trouble. one of the races, 49% of people believe he is involved in, quote, serious wrongdoing. although he was cleared legally of these issues, a tighter race than people expect. >> remember pigpen from a charlie brown cartoon? mendez have a pigpen situation going on. things he admitted to doing,
being friends with the guy gaming the medicare system and being friendly friends with this guy is not a good look. even in new jersey where there might be a lower standard in west virginia, lower standard for ethical conduct among politicians and the republicans, self funding, moderate businessman who offered a viable alternative so the race looks close. you mentioned texas earlier. >> within four points. >> a charismatic house member, running against ted cruz in the race looks close but all i would sell you -- all i would say to you is august is going to look different than late september. what will happen is partisans will come home to roost and both parties are looking at fools gold whether it is new jersey or texas i don't know. shannon: a lot of undecideds out there.

and pummeling the big island, 30 miles to the east, hammering the east side of the big island with 15 inches coming down or the 12 hour timeframe, that rain will come our way and drench us, as we moved to the east. the storm is breaking down a bit which is good but it is sitting here which could be bad. when you talk to those who decided to stay preparations began several days ago when people were warned about the storm. when you are talking, they will tell you they feel prepared even though they are not sure what to expect. >> hunker down in a hotel room. >> at least a category for, not even going to be interesting.
>> it is going to be exciting. >> we get some wind gusts. it is more a rain event than a wind event. on maui, a lot of airlines canceled flights on friday in preparation as lane comes this way. >> live in the fox news extreme weather center tracking the hurricane tonight. >> some good news out of the national hurricane center, the forecast cohen has shifted west. maybe not having as big an impact but the rain is already having big impact on the eastern side, 19 inches of rain, incredible flooding going on across the eastern side, big mountains 13,000 feet high, a lot of moisture out of the air mass.
on the western side of maui as well. bashir we have been talking about impacting more breaking the storm down a little bit, category 3, major hurricanes. the forecast cohen, all the islands remaining out of the cone at this point. that is great news. by tomorrow afternoon it is pulling north and we expect this westerly turn. we are mostly done with this. sunspots likely 30 inches of rain and where you get that rain, we have mudslides and flooding as well. shannon: thank you for working late with us. there has been plenty of bias against the vice president since the day mike pence was added to the gop ticket. a new book titled the shadow president claims he is a christian supremacists.
frank bruni describes it there are problems with impeaching donald trump, the big one is the holy terror waiting in the wings, that would be mike pence. he is self infatuated, a big it, also a liar, also cool. here to discuss, ben shapiro the daily wire, great to have you with us. a holy terror? >> this is how you got trump. you say mitt romney is the worst guy in the world and before the john mccain was the worst guy the world and then how about we nominate this guy? the guy who punches everything and it turns out no matter how bad the republicans supposedly is the next republican will inevitably be worse. mike pence will be a worse person, scarier person than donald trump. you think there is some limit to the lengths the left will go to portray a republican is bad but no matter how much they hit trump the next guy they don't like as much or more because he
is the next guy. shannon: why is it so easily and openly discussed and marked among a lot of folks out there mainstream and on the left the idea of having devout christian faith? omarosa anyone wishing for impeachment might remember we will beg for the date of trump is pence becomes president, he is directed by heidi to agree with trump no matter what and remember this from joy behar on the view in february. >> one thing to talk to jesus, it is another thing when jesus talks to you. that is called mental illness if i'm not correct. shannon: she apologized, here's what she said. >> i think mike pence is right, i was raised to respect everyone's religious faith and i fell short of that. i sincerely apologize for what i said. shannon: why is it okay to christian - so much? >> because there is a baseline level of hatred for christians on the cultural left and it is most evident in new york and los
angeles. is this belief that everybody who deeply believe their faith is a big it. the reason they are acting it out is not because they believe their religion but they are using their religion as a cover for bigotry, the sort of thing they used with that cake shop, not that he is a christian or has to abide by religious standards but he hates gay people and trans people using religion as a cover, the same sort of thing about mike pence, there's a radical tendency among religious people, they use jesus or the bible as an excuse, none of that is true but it demonstrates the militant secularism and shows why putting people who believe that in charge of government is dangerous because if they believe religious folks are by nature bigots and only using this religious talk to cover up their bigotry no wonder they crackdown on folks with a religious bent despite the constitution was specifically designed to preserve their religious freedom. shannon: this goes pretty far
with the language, talking about him being a christian supremacists and warning people if he becomes president you're looking at a theocracy. makes it so like the mullahs of iran are taking over in the us. >> i find it bewildering the same folks claiming mike pence is going to run a theocracy once a federal gun control. it is truly amazing. it is also amazing the folks saying mike pence once to run of theocracy, the fact that mike pence is a constitutional conservative who wants to limit the size and scope of government. the only people who want to rule from above by instituting their moral preferences on society from the top down are the folks on the left who want to invade rights on a regular basis and force people to do things they don't want to do. it is more common on the left and the right, using their own theocratic tendencies which a lot of folks on the radical left the as a godlike figure. using that the aquatic tendency and projecting onto people like mike pence, quite disgusting. shannon: circle back to what you said earlier, fail to see it is precisely this kind of elitist
bigotry that fuels trump and they wonder why their readership is declining and people continue to vote for candidates they believe are crazy. thank you for joining us, great to have you with us. the secretary of education as a new plan for school safety the same day we are getting a new look at what happened, a daring trek through hurricane to save the life of a young boy, tonight's midnight hero. reese witherspoon tonight dare to dream big.

taking cover behind cars or trees instead of storming the building when students were bleeding and dying. these videos do not show or prove that. this evening a funding bill for the department of education past 80-7 without addressing the grant money for guns but this fight likely is not over since the house and senate must merge their bills later this fall. shannon: thank you very much. tonight two heroes on the anniversary of hurricane harvey, doctor stephen kendall will perform emergency surgery on a teenager at clearlake regional medical center in western texas. the streets were flooded. canon mccall and met him at his home. the two men ran the first leg of the journey, a mile through water 6 to 8 inches deep, drove the second part and finally had to finish it up. they finished the last half-mile waiting through waist deep water

happening in southern california here for the next couple hours. there's still reports of damage coming in. julie banderas has that and all of the day's news as we take a live look at washington d.c. ahead of the big celebration. >> we begin with breaking news. an earthquake rattling southern california and parts of nevada this afternoon. i'm julie banderas in for shepard smith. happy fourth to you. emergency crews saying they're getting dozens of calls ranging from reports of injuries to fires. officials with the national gee logic survey say it lasted about 60 seconds. listen. >> i can feel it shaking. it was intense. >> take a look at this video
from a liquor store in ridge crest. this is the first of many videos you'll see pouring in today. this is near the epicenter. you can see the broken bottles on the floor. the shelves there rattled inten intensely. anita vogel is reporting live with more. >> julie, that's right, the earthquake struck at 10:33 local time in los angeles near the city of ridge crest in the mojave desert area in san bernardino county. 2 1/2 hours or 150 miles from los angeles. we felt a slight shaking or rolling motion here in our los angeles bureau. it was soft and lasted, i would say, 10, 15 seconds. the good news is the lapd says they have not received calls or damage or injury. that's the good news. we're hearing a different story in ridge crest. a town of 30,000 people, which again is right near that epicenter between the epicenter
being between ridge crest and china lake. the associated press is reporting 24 medical and fire incidents in ridge crest between bakersfield and las vegas. people felt this quake from las vegas all the way down to the pacific coast. now, we don't know how serious those 24 medical calls are. right now we can show you this video. you can see here it's being uploaded on twitter, showing bottles falling off of shelves, shaking, damage like that. the u.s. geological survey says there was a number of small foreshocks and quite sure after shocks that people should be prepared for. dr. lucy jones, seismologist from cal tech, says this was a good fire drill for everybody in the los angeles and southern california area. take a listen. >> i think this is a good time
to remind you that if you have been experiencing earthquakes for the last 20 years in southern california, you have been experiencing an extremely quiet time in california history. the last time we had an earthquake in southern california above magnitude 6 was 1999. the previous decade had had about eight magnitude 6s. this has been an extremely quiet abnormal time. this type of earthquake is much more normal. >> now, we're also hearing from the san bernardino county fire department that they're receiving reports of multiple buildings with minor cracks, broken water mains, power lines down, rock slides, varying degrees of damage. some power outages. cal tech says they did get a 48 second warning here in los angeles.
again, luckily here in los angeles, we don't have any reports of damage. as you heard, this was the largest earthquake in southern california since 1999. that was a 7.1 earthquake near barstow. again a very desolate area in the middle of nowhere. this is one of the biggest quakes since the northridge earthquake in 1994. that was a 6.7 magnitude quake. julie, that one killed more than 50 people. back to you. >> thanks, anita. we're going to dip in to kttv, our fox affiliate in california. >> you're in the little office. your workers were describing these globe lights, too, hanging from the ceiling. you described them as shaking, swaying back and forth? >> that's right. came out here. they were moving after. i went out to the street to see if anyone else knew. the people next door drinking coffee. they didn't know anything.
>> people that felt it and people that didn't, hit or miss. talk about the duration. >> yeah, i'd say maybe 10, 15 seconds. felt long. 10, 15 seconds in an earthquake feels like 30 minutes or something. it's scary. it's that constant reminder that we live in a dangerous area and that it could happen at any time. the big one that we're all anticipating. there was at least -- relieved it wasn't the big one. >> be prepared a good reminder. good thing a lot of the liquor bottles falling down at that liquor store, nothing like that here in l.a., especially around this holiday. so clearly a big reminder, people talking about hey, we have to be ready and be prepared. a lot of people here in pasadena feeling it. >> that's kttv reporting with a witness there. we'll be joined by jason ballman who joins me on the phone. he's a communications manager
for the southern california earthquake center. tell us right now about what the expected damage typically would be at an earthquake measuring 6.4. >> right now, we have the 6.4 that occurred a couple hours ago. dozens of after shocks, this is to be expected. when it comes to damage, after shocks can cause damage themselves and cause injuries. what we're here to do is remind everyone -- >> i need to interrupt you. we're showing new video just coming in of a fire in ridge crest, california. ridge crest is one of the areas around the epicenter of this earthquake. crews have been relying to 24 medical and fire incidents near ridge crest, california. this looks to be a home. we heard there were no initial injuries, so we pray that anybody that was in that home either got out right after they
felt the quick or were rescued. are you hearing anything at all regarding injuries considering we're watching a home on fire right now? it makes you wonder if there's people that did not get out safely in time. >> i haven't heard anything about any injuries being confirmed yet. this is an unfolding event. what this illustrates is that being prepared can help you reduce these kinds of things. if people can put together their kit, get that first aid and training and know how to use the fire extinguisher, know how to drop and cover when the earthquake happens. it will empower you to have peace of mind when it occurs. we have a great website, earthquakecountry.org. you can deal with earthquakes before they happen. >> we're showing you video coming in from ridge crest, california, a home on fire. looks like the firefighters
there did get it under control. they're getting out most of the flames. seems that it's out. i want to talk to you. jason ballman is on the phone with us, about the after shocks. that is a huge contender in something that -- when you have an earthquake, residents are not out of the woods yet. dr. lucy jones from cal tech gave a news conference earlier and talked about what people should expect. this is a 6.4. officials were saying it was a 6.6. you could expect after shocks over 6. i understand that you can get 3.5 earthquakes, at least ten of those from the earthquake. she said 100 2.5. >> yeah, we're talking about general statistics from past events. typically you get one, ten of the lower magnitude and then 100
4.0s and then it goes up. those are just statistics. in california, archaeology is complex. we have lots of faults all around us, hundreds. you know, the one that winterlier today caused the 6.4, that is one fault. all of these after shocks are occurring on it. we have the san andreas. don't get too obsessed worrying about the one that just happened. we could have another one at any time on any other fault. >> the location of the epicenter is very key to point out. you just brought up the andres fault. would the aftermath be more severe? >> depends -- >> the 6.4. >> yeah, the 6.4 with the san andreas, depends on where it is.
if it's on the southern segment, we would have a lot of strong after shocks up to four minutes. from 6.4 near ridge crest, in between the see -- sierras and the mojave, i felt it, in southwest l.a. county, i felt slow-rolling shaking. it lasts 20 seconds. based on what we know, that means it's coming from a distant earthquake. sure enough it was. people were stressed that they couldn't get on the usgs website. there's so many people trying to get information right away. when you have millions all of a sudden try to visit a website, it can't handle it too well. it affects millions all at once sometimes. so peace of mind comes from you knowing what to do and how to stay safe. in california, most people -- in
california, what we know, we're looking at stats like you're more likely to be injured in a car accident on a daily basis than an earthquake. but the problem in california is injury and economic disruption. we're seeing that with some of the events infolding right now in ridge crest where the shaking was intense, around that area. a strong severe kind of shaking. >> dr. lucy jones talked about how we should not be surprised by this but some people might be because it's been a very quiet time. the last earthquake of this magnitude was 1994. california has not experienced the level of earthquakes that they have in the past. if these aftershocks come in and somebody feels that rolling, thunderous feeling and they're inside, what should you do? >> drop, cover and hold on.
immediately you drop on your hands and feet. cover your head and neck. if there's a sturdy table to get under, crawl that that and hold on. that's what that means. it's an adaptable modifiable method. if you're driving, set the parking brake. make sure you're not near a bridge or power line. a lot of people enjoying the beach. we have general ideas that if you feel shaking at the beach, evacuate to high ground. you never know if a tsunami is following that. just stay safe. >> you brought up the fact that it's fourth of july. a lot of people are outside. if you're not inside to crawl under a desk, if you're at the beach, you get away from the water in case of a tsunami. if that were to be the case, people would want to move away from the beach as quickly as possible. if you're outside enjoying a barbecue in your back yard, where many people are on this
holiday, what do you do in that particular instance? >> it's great. yeah. in that instance, your best thing to do is drop on your hands and feet and crawl to an open space or get to an open space where things can fall on you and cover your head and neck and hold on to your head and neck until the shaking is over. sounds crazy to say that, but you might have to hold your body and brace. in your car, pull over, set the parking brake. if you're on a train, public transportation, for example, or a bus or something, you can bend over. if you can't get on the floor of the bus or train. that protects your vital organs. drop and bend over. cover your head and neck and hold on to something or the pole next to you or a chair next to you until the shaking stops. be careful. sometimes they may feel small and feel the light rolling motion and maybe bigger shaking
is coming. that's how they unfold sometimes. we never know. it's not like a tornado or hurricane where we can see it coming and gauge what we can do. so that's -- wait a minute after you drop, cover and hold on, wait and carefully get up. most injuries after the northridge earthquake, most injuries were from people who freaked out, started running and tripping over things. cutting their feet, that kind of thing. be careful. >> okay. we appreciate that. those are not obvious tips. a lot of people wouldn't think that. hey, if you're inside, run outside because the structure might collapse. we appreciate your tips. thanks, jason, for taking the time to talk to us. >> you're welcome. >> i want to go to jeff now, our meteorologist. maybe you can explain what's going on underground that led to this and what will lead to the
aftershocks as well. >> well, julie, we may be dealing with more aftershocks. there's approximately, according to the geologists, about a 1 in 20 chance or a 5% chance that there could be a following earthquake soon that could be worse than that. more significant. a 95% chance that we won't see anything that matches the intensity of this recent 6.4 earthquake. this was a big shakeup for a lot of folks. this was the first earthquake in southern california of this magnitude in 20 years. so many folks have been migrating away from the northeastern u.s., to the south and west. there's a lot of new residents in southern california. so earthquakes in the east coast, you might recall the one that happened near washington d.c. to the southern appalachians our central appalachians seven or eight years ago.
that was felt across a broader area. east coast earthquakes are translated across a large agree graphical area. this was felt across a sizable area but not felt in salt lake city or nevada. it was felt in fresno, los angeles and las vegas. again, as the expert up on seismology before me mentioned, this is not necessarily -- it wasn't the san andreas fault. it was another fault to the east. fortunately a loss populated area. many people live in ridgecrest but if this were 200 miles west or southwest, different impacts obviously tied to this. there's reports of a little more than 9,000 customers without power in southern california and more than half of them are in kern county. that's a concern. you can multiply that by 2 or 2.4 for the number of people add
those addresses. we have some videos from the coast that shows in los angeles the pool sloshing here. a neat thing. this is described as a rolling motion in the ground due to the -- again, the slippage of the two plates here. so you can see the water is moving here. there's nobody in here to get the water moving. that was the result of the earthquake. 150 miles from ten center. there will be some cleanup. the weather is dry this time of the year. not much going on on radar. nothing from a atmospheric standpoint that will slow things down. fresno, cooler than average saturday and sunday. and death valley, it's hot out there but this is business as usual for this time of the year. back to you. >> it's interesting when we talk about the different fault lines and how that affects the magnitude of a quake or the effects of a quake, the after shocks of a quake, compare southern california where this
particular earthquake occurred to past earthquakes in other parts of the state, where it is in southern california, could it be a safer area where you won't see as much damage-potentially as you could in other areas. >> well, at least one thing just to my mind is the new madrid fault in the midwest, in the early 1800s, there was a spectacular quick in kentucky, southern illinois, southeast missouri, we're talking about an area south of st. louis and west of paducah, kentucky. we don't associate that area with earthquakes. there's a fault there. at some point it's likely to repeat itself. great concern in that area. because of building construction and codes. in southern california, the legislators and general contractors, they build to a different standard and that protects people there. much more so than what could happen in areas like memphis.
recent years, we're making good progress and building to a higher standard in carbondale, memphis, paducah and st. louis because we could see something like this happen in our lifetime, maybe in our kids lifetimes that could be a huge surprise to the news cycle because it may not occur in southern california then. >> thanks, jeff. anita vogel reporting live from los angeles now. so we're getting more information about first of all fires being reported. so obviously the first thing that comes to mind is potential injuries. are we hearing more about any potential casualties due to this earthquake? >> yeah, julie, not at this time. again, remember we're not hearing of any injuries or damage in the l.a. area. so we're keeping our eyes and ears tuned to the ridge crest and china lake area. i can tell you there has been a report of a water main break in los angeles. they say that that is possibly related. so we did have some shaking
here. it certainly could have caused the water main break. more importantly, a 6.4 plus after shock in the region. over 30 aftershocks that measured a 3 magnitude. so this goes back to what dr. lucy jones from cal tech had said. she said we would be experiencing many aftershocks and that's come to pass so 36 aftershocks so far. that's an indication that there could be plenty more. one very important thing that she said during her press conference was, there could be a 5% chance, a 1 in 20% chance that this earthquake today was a foreshock for a more powerful earthquake. so we think that we're out of the woods here in southern california. you know, the region where the epicenter was. but we're still waiting to see
what will happen. we are still waiting to see about these reports of cracks in buildings, rock slides, power outages. so we're getting reports of damage. so far, no reports of injuries. hopefully that's the case for the rest of the day. of course, this is still unfolding and we're going to be finding out what happens in the hours ahead. >> ridgecrest is 150 miles northeast of los angeles. people felt it in nevada. lucy jones will have another news conference in nine minutes. did you feel it in los angeles? >> we did. we felt it. it was gentle here. lasted about 10, 15 seconds. we all felt a rolling motion. we all came out into the hallway to see what was going on. we knew it was an earthquake immediately. then it seemed to pass.
there was no damage in our office. again, the shaking was light. lasted about 15 seconds. i'm sure it was quite powerful near the epicenter. we've been looking at video from stores in the area. people's cell phones in their homes. we've seen video of a pool and the water shaken up. so you can only imagine how scary this was right near the epicenter. a 6.4 is a powerful earthquake. remember the northridge earthquake here in 1994 was 6.7. that caused major devastation throughout los angeles and killed more than 50 people. >> we just got new video, that is coming in from a store inside ridgecrest. you talked about how powerful the earthquake had to be in ridgecrest. this is the aftermath of the 6.4 quake that basically struck right near the town of
ridgecrest. this is here near the mojave desert. everything on the floor. you don't see anybody in there. had to be shoppers test. in most cases when it comes to earthquakes like this, you're inside and people should get on the ground and take cover, you can get hurt by the flying debris. that injure you. that's why you're supposed to take cover if you feel an aftershocks. we talked about that. dr. lucy jones talked about how there could be 100 2.5s. i like that you pointed out. this could be a prequake. there could be a larger one looming at a 6.5. does anybody know? there's seismologists that detect these things but how accurate are they? >> stand by.
i'm getting some information about a possible warning for another earthquake. this is coming from kern county. kern county fire says another earthquake has been predicted in or around kern county. for location, kern county is about two hours north of los angeles. the largest city there is bakersfield. that's in the region where this quick struck this morning. so this is rather alarming piece of information that has come out. i guess this is good warning for people living in that area. you might want to do what you can to prepare. perhaps start gathering bottled water, moving out of the way where you can be hit by falling debris. i don't know what they're basing this on.
we know that cal tech talked about an early warning system. los angeles got about 48 seconds this morning. they're talking about 15 minutes. something possibly happening in the kern county area. >> julie: okay. where is kern county? >> kern county is about two hours north of los angeles. the largest major city there is bakersfield. its a rural area but it's also an urban area. it's a much smaller area than los angeles. bakersfield is a sizable medium city in california and surrounded by farmland and lots of agriculture. so lots of people live in that area. i don't have an exact town. it's considered a medium urban area. >> julie: how close is that to ridgecrest?
can you guesstimate? >> i would say bakersfield to ridgecrest is probably about an hour, an hour apart. i'm hearing there's roughly 380,000 people living in kern county. in bakersfield, excuse me. >> julie: so this gives you a good map, if you would, of the wide-ranging effects that an earthquake like this has. the original earthquake, the 6.4 registered in ridgecrest, california near the town of ridgecrest. now we're hearing -- officials are saying a hospital is being evacuated and residents are being warned of a pending earthquake that could happen in the next 15 minutes near bakersfield in kern county. which is as you just mentioned, about an hour to two hours away from ridgecrest? >> yeah, from ridgecrest, it's about an hour from ridgecrest. so still very much in the same region. >> julie: interesting. >> unfortunately, i don't have any more detail about this alert that came out from the kern county fire department.
again, i just want to read it. came out about three or four minutes ago. it's an emergency alert. it says another possible earthquake has been predicted in the next 15 minutes near kern county. >> julie: so if you're hearing this alert and in kern county, here's what you do. earlier we talked to the communication manager for if southern california earthquake manager. if you're inside, get down and cover. if you're near a desk or an object or hard wall, get under it or near it and try to cover your head and shoulders. with a 15-minute heads-up on this, if you're driving anywhere, the idea is to get somewherer with you're not near a structure. if you're at the beach, get away from the water. if you're outdoors, try to get anywhere away from any hanging opens over you, get away from trees, buildings. try to just get in a clear enough area as possible. you mentioned in kern county,
it's a very rural area. so if you're out in a field, that's probably the safest spot you could be. is that what would describe kern county? you mentioned it's very rural. >> yeah, it's rural. of course, we have the city of bakersfield in kern county. it's the fifth largest city in california. that is an urban area. let me bring your attention to something else that just came in. we're hearing they're evacuating the ridgecrest hospital as we speak. earlier i mentioned we had received reports that a number of buildings in that area had sustained multiple cracks and things like that. so we're not sure why they're evacuating that hospital. that information has just come in to the newsroom. so that is something definitely to take note of as well. >> julie: so if you're just joining us, kern county fire department, they are warning that an emergency alert is going out to residents in the area,
another possible earthquake has been predicted within the next 15 minutes in or near kern county. kern county is 130 miles northeast of l.a. anita reporting ridgecrest hospital. that hospital is being evacuated. so if there are any injuries such as in this home there was this fire that we're showing that firefighters have successfully put out, if there's any injuries, anita, and where the epicenter of this was near ridgecrest, what nearby hospital then would people be told to go to if they have an injury considering where this earthquake happened, their hospital is now being evacuated. >> yeah, that's a pretty rural area, julie. there wouldn't be another hospital immediately in that area. they would have to transport those people somewhere that is quite a distance away to the next urban area. i'm not really sure about that. i'm really anxious to find out
why they're evacuating that hospital. when we find that out, we'll get back to you. >> anita vogel, thanks very much. a fox news alert. we're watching an earthquake which has rattled a large swath of southern california. the quake measuring with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4. it struck today, this morning near the town of ridgecrest, california, about 150 miles northeast of los angeles. we've just been notified -- that fire that you see has been put out. that's a home in ridgecrest. there's been dozens of fire and emergency and medical calls that have been made. likely that won't be the only fire firefighters have to put out today. the kern county fire department has issued an alert. another possible earthquake is predicted in the next 15 minutes. that alert came down at 3:22
eastern time. in under five to ten minutes, that potential alert for a potential pending second earthquake could be looming. if you're in kern county, 130 miles northeast of los angeles, you're told to evacuate. if you're in a structure and you feel the rolling feeling, if you're in a structure to get under something like a desk. if you're outside, get away from any potential falling debris like debris off a building or a sign, in a store like this one in ridgecrest, where everything literally flew off the shelf, that's where injuries happen. you get hit by flying debris. or if you're in your car, drive to an area that is open and pull over. pull up your emergency brake so you can secure your car and stay as safe as possible. between 5 to 10 minutes that
second could hit kern county. this is jeffery here from yale university, this warning that we're getting from the kern county fire department, it's a bit alarming when you hear of an emergency alert of another. i want to make emphasis on the word "possible here." another possible earthquake being predicted in kern county. what does that say to you? >> that alert says to me, after you've had an earthquake of this size, magnitude 6 or so, that you expect to have further tremors and sharp earthquakes that occur afterwards. not usually as large as the first one but large enough to cause damage. and to -- especially if structured are weakened to cause additional damage that could be dangerous. people have to be careful in the next day or two. >> julie: so if this could potentially be a prequake. maybe the earthquake that hit in california today, the 6.4 could potentially be the precursor to
something larger coming. is that likely? >> that is a possibility. because there have been earthquakes in this portion of the southern california where there's a complex system of faults that are all connected to a bend in large scale san andreas fault where there's a major tectonic plate boundary. it occurred in the 90s that a modest earthquake may be -- along one portion of the fault that was not a precursor but did precede by a few months a much larger earthquake going up to a magnitude 7. >> the question now is why residents didn't get a proper warning. we're getting a warning now in kern county. why no warning about today --
this morning's earthquake? >> most come without very much warning. at least with the currents understanding of how they work. even the largest ones will often come out of really nowhere in terms of a short-term precursor. we know which areas of faults are active. we know that they have probabilities of earthquakes occurring. but we don't always know when the earthquakes are imminent. >> there's a shake alert l.a. app. apparently some people in los angeles residents are wondering if the app actually failed. we're going to listen now and go back to dr. lucy jones with cal tech. let's listen. >> we're just getting an update about this morning's earthquake. searles valley earthquake, near ridgecrest.
we have some updates in terms of aftershocks. we have more about potential damage. we still do have geologists in the field but we haven't gotten word back yet and we have some updates in the shake alert system. lucy, why don't you start in terms of the activity so far. >> okay. so on the aftershocks that we've been recording, so far we have 30 above magnitude three and 6 above magnitude four. this is a very robust sequence. on the theory that when you have a lot of earthquakes, you have a lot of earthquakes. we try to estimate the rate of aftershocks and what we're recording. from that, we have an 80% of a magnitude 5. about a 9% chance that something larger than 6.4 could occur over the next week. that's just saying this is a big sequence which shouldn't be surprising anybody who has been watching what's going on the
last two hours. we also have locations on some of them. that's where we were trying to get up this map here. it's interesting. it does look like we might be seeing two different faults. yeah, if you would to that. so the main shock was in the middle at the intersection between those two strands. so we think the main fault was rupturing down towards the southwest, which would have focused the energy towards ridge crest. then there's also a second fault that seems to have been activated going up to the northwest. again, this area that is not completely surprising. look at the little black lines in there. there's a bunch of them. this is an area with a lot of little faults in a complex area moving apart. it does suggest that ridgecrest
was particularly hard hit. we have reports from california office of emergency services that there are -- there seems to be a couple of structure fires going on in ridgecrest and they're responding to them. there's a small community called trona, which is closer to the ruptures and it's on a dried lake bed. we don't have any communication with them yet. that would be a place where there's significant damage. as i said, we're seeing two faults involved. this area is characterized by robust sequences. so we expect to be seeing a lot of earthquakes today and some of them could be damaging. probably one more that is damaging. >> kern county tweeted something that they anticipated a quake in 16 minutes. >> there's nothing that gives us the time of a particular event. i'm going to tell you, i think
there will be a magnitude 5 today. i did that on northridge. people said they predicted the earthquake. i said i predicted rain in hawaii, too. when the probabilities are this high, you know, then you can say yes, there will probably be a magnitude 5 today. it's not the time of any particular event. there's nothing. if somebody is giving out a time, they're not basing it on science. okay? that's probably what we've got about the aftershocks. the geologists haven't gotten out. we don't have a report on that. besides, you noticed two aftershocks showed up. i just saw the two red dots that showed up here. this type of behavior is relatively common. back in 1987, we had two magnitude 6s on conjugate
faults. the way it works. if i'm pushing in this way, i can move out here or out here. we call it conjugate faulting. it's a common feature. we'll just have to see. we're two hours into this sequence. we'll see how it develops. >> what about the shake alert app? have you gotten any closer to understand something. >> yeah, give an update about that. maybe a little bit of misunderstanding or miscommunication. the system worked as designed. so an alert was sent out by the u.s. geological survey. the app or the city of l.a. is set up with various thresholds. the first threshold is a magnitude 5 earthquake or greater in l.a. county. it will send out an alert. this earthquake was outside l.a.
county. it didn't satisfy that condition. the other condition is intensity greater than 4. the intensities in l.a. were 3 and lower. so the app perform as designed. it's just the intensity levels were below that threshold that were set by the app. so the system actually worked as designs. it's something that we need to look into though as to whether maybe that threshold should be lowered or adjusted for the future. just to reiterate though, there was no -- the level of shaking within the city of l.a. was not damaging. so in that sense, the app worked as designed. >> so if it was -- >> lower. yes. >> what would we have seen on the app?
what -- >> so for example, if it had been intensity 3, people would have got notification to expect shaking. i don't know the exact wording on the app. there would have been a significant -- >> 45 seconds. >> yeah, 45 seconds before the shaking aarrived. so the alert would have worked beautifully in that sense. again, the shaking levels would not have been damaging. certainly would have been great to know ahead of time. >> sound or a text or -- >> i'm not sure -- >> it's never gone off on my phone. i'm not sure. i think they're -- they were going to be using a chiming alert that was used in japan. there was -- i'm not sure what they ended up using. >> i'm guessing the issue could
not lowter level because you don't want them to get so many alerts that people don't pay attention when they get them. >> right. this has been studied -- people didn't hear that question. >> just to repeat, the question was -- the reason why potentially that the alert level isn't set lower so you don't have a large number of alerts with minimal shaking. that is correct. this is a subjective judgment. so in designing the app, you have to make a decision on that. there's a fair amount of research looking at places like japan and mexico. there's some sense that people don't mind getting an alert even if the shaking is not that severe, which would have been the case here if it had been set to intensity 3. so this is something that maybe we need to, again, needs to be looked at, tweaked on the
system. >> so to clarify, because there's been some talk about two earthquakes today. if you can -- >> okay. there's been hundreds of earthquakes today. for a while, the website showed two magnitude 6.4s. so the way the system works, there's a lot of us recording earthquakes around the world. we have a system that if somebody else puts up an alert and -- there's always the chance the great pasadena earthquake means we're not giving out anything. you want somebody else to say it if we're not here. so there's a system to negotiate that. there was a warning. we think it was from the tsunami warning center actually. the timing -- usually the system can recognize the same earthquake. if one of the systems gets the time a little off, then they look like different earthquakes
and the automatic system allows it to go in. for a short time, there were two alerts, one from us, one from the tsunami warning center. when we recognized it was there, we cleaned it up. that was not getting rid of an earthquake, by the way. i heard the conspiracy theorists about that it's just that we cleaned it up. >> just to clarify additionally, we had been just talking about two faults and so forth. that's still the case. >> right. >> we're not -- >> [question inaudible] >> not until we get a geologist on the ground. >> occasionally there's reports about faults that we don't know about. >> we know a lot of faults in this area. if you look again at the picture -- >> it's disappeared. >> the -- if we could reload the page, i would guess. look up in that area. there's lots of little marks. it's one of the areas with a dense distribution of mass
faults. so before i'm going to talk about an unknown fault, i need a geologist to say how does this line up with what we know about. >> is it relevant -- >> not to us. i think it's a psychological issue. if it's an unknown fault, we didn't know! makes it scarier. the reality is we have a lot of little faults that never get named because they're too small until you get an earthquake. >> was this one particularly strong for that area? >> this earthquake is the large nest the little lake area in the last century. but in general, the owens valley, the gee logic structures up there have had earthquakes like this. mammoth historically has had dozens of magnitude 6s.
is as a -- that area, largest earthquake in 100 years. does that make it unusual? no. from geology, we need to look at millennia to say what is standard. >> [question inaudible] >> we're waiting for the picture to show up. it's -- there's one level at which its simple. the geologists, presuming there's faults, we'll be mapping it in detail the next month. >> are they in trucks or helicopters or -- >> trucks. >> we don't have enough money to send helicopters. they're in trucks. >> the national guard does. >> yeah, not the geologists. look at our budget some time. >> they're on route. >> they're on route. as soon as we have information regarding fault offsets, we'll provide it hopefully in the next
briefing or so. >> since we don't have pictures yet, can you illustrate what that is going to look like? what a seismologist would want to take a photo of? >> well, yeah, we're speculating a little bit here in that we don't -- >> you think? >> we don't know yet if this fault ruptured to the ground surface. magnitude 6.4s in california sometimes break all the way to the ground surface. sometimes don't. until we have some definitive information. if it did break up to the ground surface, what we should see is where two sides of the ground that were close together would have slid horizontally. there may be some vertical displacements as well. given the force that we have recorded, the -- it's the
horizontal motion. >> how does that information help you? >> obviously in terms of damage, if you have a pipeline or structure that moves sideways, that could be devastating. i don't know if that is the case here. also in terms of the ground shaking that was experienced in the ridgecrest area, lucy talked about how the earthquake started to the northeast. propagated to the southwest towards ridgecrest. with this type of horizontal motion that can be amplified. again, until we actually get some definitive information from some folks there, i can't be sure about that. it is a possibility. >> we now do a better job of correlating what we get from our instruments with what is recorded in the ground. used to be we needed the
geologists in the felt to tell us what happened on the fault. in fact, the details. we would get more details by walking down that fault than we'll everybody get from an instrument. over many years of recording them and comparing them, we have a guess that magnitude 6.4 is partially a statement of how much slip happened, how much we expect. at that magnitude with this fault length, it's on the order under a meter but half a meter. so a couple feet. so it's potentially a big offset. the question is whether it's confined and whether it made it up to the surface. there's been hypotheses that if it comes to the surface, you get a different shaking pattern than if it doesn't. not all -- not every one agrees with it. so that's an interesting piece of scientific testing that can go on because of it. >> what is your knowledge of this in terms of how deep it is?
>> faults -- most faults -- we don't. we don't know what fault it is yet. if it is the little lake fault that is mapped at the surface. it's some previous earthquake that has come through to the surface. most earthquakes begin about five to ten miles below the surface. it's difficult to get a big earthquake close to the surface. there's not enough pressure. if a fault could open up, you can't have an earthquake. the earthquake is shaking just like snapping your fingers. try to snap your fingers when they open up. you don't make a sound. if the all the opens up, you wouldn't produce any shaking. at the surface, there's -- it's not action confined. the earthquake happened deeper down. most faults in california extend at least from the -- if we map it at the surface, probably goes ten miles down and probably more than that. just gets deeper down, it
behaves differently. >> a lot of ancient volcanic history of little lake, correct? >> not so -- little lake is a volcanic region. there's active volcanics. the china lake weapons center runs a geo thermal plant there. there's magna at depth which has been used to tap for geothermal energy. >> what would you say is your prediction of a likelihood of a quake above 6.4? >> 9%. over the next week. if we get through a day, then we'll be a lot lower. it's not an even thing over the week. most likely time is right now. as we see -- we aren't at the moment. the rate of after shocks is
substantially lower than the first briefing. they die off quickly with time. any other questions? wrap it up. thank you. at 2:00 we'll come back and see if we have more information. >> quickly. sorry. the china lake naval weapons station, you say the damage is highest in ridgecrest are. you fearing any damage at the naval station? >> damage does not get reported to us. we have a phone call -- >> julie: we've been listening to dr. lucy jones from cal tech. she's been talking about potential aftershocks. she talked there's an 80% chance of a magnitude 5, a 9% of a larger one in the next week. the first time in 100 years this area has seen an earthquake of this magnitude. is it a big deal when you look at california's history?
no. it's not a reason to be alarmed but on the look out for aftershocks as this is the first time this particular area has experienced a 6.4 magnitude or anything close to it. so we will continue to watch this here on fox as the news unfolds. meantime, we will not forget that today is the fourth of july. we remember all of those in california that are out today celebrating when this all happened. everyone from coast to coast celebrating our nation's independence. we are live in coronado california near the u.s.s. midway aircraft carrier where abby got to fly a simulator with a retired pilot. hi, abby. >> hi, julie. yeah, that was such an incredible experience. i can't even explain to you with words. that u.s.s. midway has 4,500 people back in the day when it was active. 10% of those are pilots. a narrative that we don't hear that often. so to hear that from a guy that
has taken off and land from four different carriers and hear what it's like to be aboard the u.s.s. midway is a special experience for me. take a look. >> so you served on four aircraft carriers, not midway. tell me what it was like to be a pilot. >> actually a lot of fun. sometimes not so much fun. landing daytime, a nice day, it's a lot of fun. when the weather is bad and the deck is slick and the sun goes down, it's not fun. that's when you earn your flight pay. >> i'm standing here. the length is three football fields. the landing area is about the size of a tennis court. >> yeah, you have to touchdown in it. this is the first thing you hit. the cables, there's three of them. they go across the deck.
they're held up about five inches. the wheels go over it and the cable is grabbed and it stops you. you had about 250 sailors to make it work. it's incredibly noisy. everything is done with hand signals. you don't know the crewmen out there but they have their critical jobs. they all have different colored jerseys on. that tells them what your job is. the most interesting one is a yellow shirt. they're the taxi directors. you're always in control. you can't see from the cockpit where you are. they'll park you within an inch of where you need to be. you learn to trust them. >> and you never really retire from the military. there's some flight simulators down there. a way you can take me for a spin? >> i'm sure we can do that. >> okay.
he didn't know what he got himself into. let's do it. >> okay. are you scared? >> i hope not. >> i'm not scared. i am restless. >> i was born ready. rafe, you ready? oh! you didn't hit anybody. blame it on you. it's rafe. i'm flying like an expert and rafe is not shooting anyone down.
captain abby signing off. >> julie: you did a great job. great as a co-captain. i'm julie banderas in for shepard smith. continue to watch the coverage of the california earthquake. we'll have updates on fox.

fight over ground rules. anticipated all day tomorrow. john roberts is in switzerland to a night ahead of the president's trip. good evening. >> good morning to you from linzer heim. we got a glimpse into the defense of the president's legal team. he is going to start presenting tomorrow and a lengthy outline of their case described in the articles of impeachment as "a dangerous perversion of the constitution that should be swiftly and roundly condemned." >> on the eve of his impeachment trial, president trump is headed for the world economic forum in dumbo switzerland. taking a swipe at his nemesis tweeting, "crying chuck schumer is asking for fairness when he and the democratic house members work together to make sure i got zero fairness. what else is new?" the president will be talking up american prosperity, meeting with world leaders'. in austin, texas, rally with farmers last night, he contrasted what he is doing with what democrats are trying to do. >> i'm going to europe to talk to world leaders and talk to business people. everybody wants to come back to america. we are achieving what no administration has ever achieved before. what do i get out of it? tell me. i get impeached! >> has the president makes the rounds, his defense team will make the case of the articles of impeachment are invalid and unprosecutable. in a brief to the senate his attorneys writing, "house democrats newly invented abuse of power theory collapses at the threshold because it fails to allege any violation of law whatsoever." harvard law professor alan dershowitz will make that argument on the president's behalf likely on friday. >> abuse of power was alleged against john adams, thomas jefferson, andrew jackson, abraham lincoln and, franklin telemark rows of hold. political arguments. abuse of power can never be a criteria for impeaching or moving a president. >> it also challenges the article on obstruction. "contrary to house democrats claims asserting legal rights and constitutional privileges of the executive branch is not obstruction!" democrats who will sit in judgment of the president dismissed those arguments. >> what they are saying right now is as eventually the president can totally abuse the public trust and can commit what the founders believed were high crimes and misdemeanors. >> his legal team will present an aggressive case, but acknowledge the end result is ultimately up to the senate. >> it's a question about whether or not this is sufficient and serious enough to warrant the removal from office. the senate will be the judge of that. that is their decision. i'm not here to tell the senate what to do. >> democrats are keeping up the pressure to bring new witnesses into the trial, arguing it's impossible to render a verdict without hearing all of the evidence. >> we know the american people want witnesses and documents. they understand that's what a fair trial looks like. >> democrats will undoubtedly file or a motion to call john bolton as a witness. if they do that republicans would likely counter by calling hunter biden and others. at that point to the self-described, world's greatest deliberative body could evolve into a food fight. >> bret: john roberts, thank you. let's preview the week ahead for the president. senior political analyst brit hume joins us now. good evening. you heard and that piece robert rae, one of the president's lawyers essentially saying he is going to wait for the senate to decide. more specifically as you read this brief, really aimed at republican senators. >> that's right. republicans constituted majority of the senate and it takes 67 votes to convict a president and remove him from office. which means they democrats alone can't come close to doing it. they need about 20 republican senators to turn against the president and vote for his departure. the smart way to look at the defendants, the brief and the defendants that the president's representatives will be making is, whether it gives republicans who are disinclined to vote to move the president to begin with. some material they can work with to defend their vote. the only way the president can get tossed, the evidence to be so overwhelming and the wrongdoing so clear that the public is outraged by it. it becomes politically unsafe to vote not to convict. that is a tall order of the democrats are facing. the question -- you look at that brief that was filed, constitutionally insufficient. crazy to try to make an impeachment article out of the efforts to claim privilege and so on. the question then is, does that give republican senators what they need and will want? i think probably the answer is yes. >> bret: one of the battles is witnesses, other documentation. our colleague looked at that brief and saw something different. take a listen. >> they go through the facts and they said the president did nothing wrong. if i may judge or senator reading that, it seems to me like they're begging for trial on the facts. i don't know that's what they want. that really helps the argument for witnesses and documents. we will present and those arguments will be evaluated by senators and deciding what is appropriate to do. what is in the country's best interest? >> bret: that is the big fight. the witnesses fight. >> it is. it is really a hail mary pass to need witnesses. they democrats in the house or arguing on the one hand, the case they've made against the president is overwhelming. they should convict on the basis of it. at the same time they're reaching out for more evidence. if the evidence is sufficient, you don't need more evidence. the question that i think has been raised by all of this is whether the senate is contemplating the prospect! toif you can have your witnesse, the president will get to have his witnesses. he will want to call hunter biden and who knows who else. the trial takes on a very different cast. one that senators on both sides of the aisle may be reluctant to see. you get hunter biden talking about who knows what. he is drawing joe biden into the mix and it's a circus aspects. i think that's what mitch mcconnell would like to avoid. the senate will decide. it only takes a few republican senators. it takes 67 to convict, but only 50 want to call witnesses. there is a significant chance that witnesses may be called. whether in the end that may make any difference is in doubt. >> bret: thank you. as a comusical, ♪ tonight, democratic candidates celebrate the martin luther king jr. holiday. they attacked president trample over race relations and other issues. this comes amid an unusual vote of confidence for two of the contenders. ellison barber is in des moines tonight. >> elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar are the democrats best choices for president. that according to "the new york times" editorial board. a two candidate endorsement is unprecedented, but the times he was the realist models warrant serious consideration at a time with "there are legitimate questions about whether our democratic system is fundamentally broken." they say they are the most effective advocates for each approach. according to a new focus on rural america poll, a quarter of iowa and still support former vice president joe biden. a full 6% more. when asked regardless of who they plan to vote for, which candidate is best for rural iowa? 29 % amy klobuchar. a number of the candidates began their day in south carolina honoring the life and legacy of dr. martin luther king jr. they talked about the work that still needs to be done. >> some morning i wake up, i wonder whether it's 1920 or 2020. >> some suddenly criticizing president trump. >> we can't hope. >> there are not many sides to blame mr. president. one side is the ku klux klan. america is ready to move beyond this dark moment of donald tru donald trump. >> in an interview, michael bloomberg claimed trumps rhetoric >> it encourages people to do what they might not do. >> two candidates was relationship has become awkward in recent weeks. they briefly spoke and shook hands and mlk breakfast. no word on what was said, but the last time they were face to face they both accuse the other of calling him a liar. >> i think you called me a liar national tv. >> they spent the weekend hopscotch and around iowa and new hampshire. the impeachment trial starts tomorrow and that will keep them in washington, d.c. they and the other senators still running for president say they will have surrogates, even family members on the ground you're campaigning for them. some say they will even try to phone or skype to townhome. >> bret: thank you. continuing with electoral politics, a thought exercise tonight, has a democratic party move so far left that its last president, barack obama would actually be unable to win the nomination now? doug mckelway takes a look. >> change has come to america. >> if you saw this life you are 11 years older. time may be moving faster to you. in today's democratic party, barack obama sometimes seems quaintly outdated. >> the world in 2007 was very different. we barely invented the iphone. we barely invented facebook. a lot of the tools that dominate the way we experience the world and exist. >> the strong pulling a far left candidates like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren has pulled the moderates much farther left than obama dared to go. for example, joe biden and pete buttigieg support degrade new deal despite its multitrillion dollar price tag. the potential upheaval of the carbon-based economy. even moderate support the expansion of the public option for health care, public funding for tuition, immigration, restricting border enforcement, and broadening lgbtq rights. that way for left candidates like sanders and warren embrace socialist ideas that america once rejected as a dangerous lurch towards collectivism. >> enough of this tinkering or tweaking around. we need bold ideas to get from here to there. >> two factors may be contributing. millennials have come a voting age. 41% have a favorable view of socialism, much higher than generation x at 31% and baby boomers at 24%. secondly, democrats may be talking left to secure the primaries and may go back to the center after the nomination is won. >> there is a third factor to explain. donald trump. hatred of him has so animated, so energize the democratic field that they have moved further left to draw the clearest possible distinction between them and the president they despise. >> bret: thank you. president trump visited the martin luther king jr. memorial today here in washington. the epicenter for the king holiday celebration of gorge is atlanta. that is where jonathan terry is tonight. >> at the historic baptist church where several generations of the king family have preached, a passionate gathering of politicians, ministers, community leaders, and everyday citizens and the praises of dr. martin luther king jr. however john wesley urge the crowd to embrace him as a prophet of social change, not a watered-down version to make people comfortable. >> are challenges not to remember dr. king, our challenge is that we are prone to misremembering dr. king. >> the annual celebration in atlanta marks the culmination of a long holiday weekend of events around the country to honor the legacy of the slain civil rights leader. in memphis mike pence said he was deeply moved by a visit to the national civil rights museum which preserves the balcony where dr. king was shot. >> we honor him by teaching our children and our children's children what dr. king and all the heroes of the civil rights movement accomplished more this nation. >> today is not just about honoring the past, by caring his teachings into the world today. back at ebenezer church, his youngest daughter carried her father's message of unity to the political polarization that exists in america in this contentious election year. >> whether you are republican, democrat, independent, or no party, we must fight with a fierce determination to discover a pathway to build the beloved community! >> dr. king's vision of the beloved community involve people, not merely coexisting, but caring for one another regardless of race and other human labels that commonly divide us. incidentally dr. king was born a few blocks down the street from this church. if you were alive today he would be 91 years old. >> bret: thank you. what is normally -- excuse me, a fairly uneventful event in virginia's capital of something much different year. it's evolved into a massive lobbying effort and demonstration featuring thousands of activists and a frantic response from the government over worries of violence that never materialized. mark meredith shows us what happened in richmond. >> gun rights supporters flooded into downtown richmond to demonstrate against new gun-control laws under consideration by virginia state lawmakers. >> this is a glock 20. >> george george from michigan to participate in the rally. he like many people probably march while showing off their gun collection. >> i want to show people that we are all here supporting the second amendment. >> the legislation is considering several laws come among them, limiting purchases to only one every month. enacting universal background checks, and allowing local governments to ban guns from some public spaces. ralph northam had made gun-control a top priority with his administration. >> i bet you nobody here will comply. >> law enforcement remained on high alert during the rally as officials. hate groups would show up to create chaos. they declared an emergency last week, banning weapons to be banned from the state grounds. >> analysts have identified threats and violent rhetoric similar to what has been said before other major events such as charlottesville. >> the virginia citizens organize the rally. leader said the goal was to only defy the second amendment and that the rally had nothing to do with hate. >> he declared war on gun owners and that activated change across the state. >> tonight the governor is praising law enforcement for de-escalating what he said could have been a volatile situation. police estimate some 22,000 people showed up for the rally and they say only one person was arrested. >> bret: thank you. up next, we look at the democrats lead impeachment matter. ♪ [sneezing] ♪ you don't want to cancel your

president nick maduro and try to get support. they recognize as the legitimate head of government. our next story is part history lesson, part cautionary tale. it concerns the lead impeachment manager california's adam schiff and whether his national profile could damage his standing among his constituents. anita vogel reports from los angeles. it's a scenario that schiff knows all too well. >> in america no one is above the law. >> he's become the face of impeachment. california congressman adam schiff is the leader of seven house managers, but exactly 20 years ago schiff campaigned against impeachment and defeated incumbent republican congressman james rogan who was the house manager for the impeachment trial of president bill clinton. >> adam schiff, when he took office 20 years ago, i don't think he played in his wildest dreams to read the impeachment against a republican president. >> the race for the 27th congressional district, just for 28 was the most expensive in history. schiff won in part by accusing rogan of accusing the district spending too much time on impeachment and exploiting his notoriety. >> he's been embarking on a national fund-raising effort. saying the president is out to get him. >> there are so many ironies in this thing. >> he's always a hustler, a go-getter. he's always looking out for himself. >> i'm totally proud of adam schiff and his integrity. to me he embodies integrity. >> he has been impeached. >> even though california is 2700 miles away, experts say it is fitting the state is so involved with impeachment. with nancy pelosi, schiff, and zoe lofgren of northern california all playing starring roles. >> we are at the forefront in california of fighting the trump agenda. many cases to the states benefit, but in some cases to the state's detriment. >> another interesting fact with impeachment, the congressman before james rogan was carlos moorehead, who was on the house judiciary committee back in 1974. he cast a vote to spare richard nixon from impeachment. >> bret: up next, laying out the rules of the road ahead of the impeachment trial. new information is next. ♪ (whistling) (whistling) my body is truly powerful. i

ground rules tomorrow. congressional correspondent chad program, a preview with breaking news on capitol hill. run us through what is expected. >> the past 45 minutes we have gotten the actual proposal that mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader will put out on the floor tomorrow. this is something they will have to vote on tomorrow. what it provides, this is what we've been told, there will be 12 hours a day for the managers to present their case. that is wednesday-thursday and then friday-saturday for the president's defense team to offer their side of the story. sometime in the middle of next week they get witnesses. what that means, they will start at 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon because they have to accommodate john roberts. they can't start until 1:00 p.m. they will go until the middle of the night. we got a statement from chuck schumer, the minority leader who will offer a counter proposal. he says the following, "his resolution states the key facts will be delivered and the middle of the night because he doesn't want the people to hear them." that will be a key point you will hear tomorrow from the house impeachment managers. they'll be debating this on the senate floor. they want to bury the facts in the dead of night. >> bret: that is open session? >> i have learned that once mitch mcconnell puts out his resolution and chuck schumer puts out a counter resolution, there is a 90% possibility they will go into a closed session. that is where they kick out everybody except for the essential staff, john roberts, the impeachment managers can't be in the room. the president's defense team can't be in the room. that is when they will handle how they will handle this. that means a late night tomorrow and they probably don't vote on the underlying proposal by mitch mcconnell until very late sometime tomorrow night. >> bret: thank you. also breaking tonight, u.s. and iraqi officials say two rockets landed in the baghdad's green zone. very close to the u.s. embassy at this hour, they say they are no casualties reported. two rockets into the green zone near the u.s. embassy. iran and militias have been behind some of those rocket attacks. iran

threats to the following european countries moved to trigger a dispute mechanism, and response to iran is stepping up and her uranium enrichment. they say the withdraw from the nuclear treaty, which bans countries from acquiring atomic weapons. >> if these statements continue, iran is designing a final, more effective step. >> they would reject any new, president trump replacement of the

ground rules first, both sides making their case as this gets worked out tomorrow. >> it is not the criteria for impeachment, anymore than this this honesty. >> let's suppose the argument, you had to go so far out of the mainstream to find someone to make that argument. you had to leave the realm of scholars and go to criminal defense lawyers. >> our job is to show how the house managers do not have a case. >> the most important thing is that the american people deserve a fair trial. the constitution deserves a fair trial. >> bret: a number of pages to the white house was effort, one of them makes an abuse of power argument, "by limiting cases to high crimes and misdemeanors the framers were instructed impeachment to specific offenses against already known and established law." house democrats newly invented the abuse of power theory collapses at the threshold because it fails to establish any house of law whatsoever. this is the argument of a monarch with no basis with the constitution. when the framers worked the impeachment clause, the end it squarely at abuse of office for personal gain, but realm of national interest, encryption of elections. president trump has engaged in the trifecta of constitutional misconduct, warranting removal he is the framers worst nightmare come to life. some of the of the back and forth. let's bring in our panel. chris turner world, politics editor here at fox news. leslie marshall, democratic strategist and mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist." i'm keeping my distance year. i have tv. i will talk this way. this is the argument that's being made, tomorrow is above the ground rules in the u.s. senate. that is going to be a battle. what we are seeing from mcconnell is it's going to be 24 hours to make the case for house impeachment managers and for the white house. that's 12 hours a day, 1:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. >> these are going to be very long days and i think that's part of senator mcconnell's strategy. i want to make a quick point, adam schiff was suggesting that alan dershowitz is not a constitutional scholar, he is anadefense lawyer, but he is a scholar. that is why the president picked on. what is interesting as we got a feeling for what the president's defense is going to be. the president's team said there's no crime, first and foremost. this is the first time we have had impeachment with no crime being alleged. even with the johnson impeachment. he was accused of breaking the law, that law was probably unconstitutional, but he was accused of an actual crime. they say the process is flawed, this is the argument that the republicans did a good job of making. they say, even if you take the best possible interpretation of their case, there are no facts to support it. we are seeing that response from the democrats. they are really overstating what they have in terms of the quality of their evidence. >> bret: leslie, the white house is going down the route of fighting on the substance, the abuse of power. here's john cornyn and jerry nadler on that. >> he's been charged with abuse of power which is not to reason, it is not bribery, a high crime. this is the first time in the history where president has been impeached for a noncrime or offense that never occurred. >> abuse of power is the central reason for the impeachment clause in the constitution. trying to extort a foreign power to interfere with election is about as bad as you can imagine. >> bret: to brit hume's point earlier, this is in at republican senators. they have to get 33 of them to make sure he doesn't get convicted. >> i don't think he's going to be convicted, but i do think it comes down to what will happen going forward. whether there will be witnesses or not. some people are considering alan dershowitz a witness. to alan dershowitz, i sat in on his class twice because i'm from boston. i used to be a big fan of his, but he's changed his tune greatly when it comes to impeachment and the constitution. in 1998 he said not only in his classroom but on television, it doesn't have to be a crime to be impeachable, abuse of power is not a crime. when he cited hamilton and "the federalist" papers, when he read that, "the inevitability of partnership for the reason to support the constitutional approach to try to impeachment." that is completely off bissett with alan dershowitz was saying. when you look at polls that show 70% as of late today, the american people feel that there should be witnesses. i'm not sure what the republicans are doing, if it will help them in the long run. they are not fighting a good fight, especially when they're talking about democrats are trying to undo an election. i think the american people, regardless of their ideology, politics, they're smarter than that. >> bret: this white house brief, this argument is essentially for those republicans to take back home and say look, there's nothing here. i'm not voting for witnesses either. >> we will see when we get the there. mcconnell's process that he has laid out, the joke is they don't have 24 hours of arguments to make. they didn't certainly in clinton. they're pushing it into fewer days, it's the same number of hours. they will be pressure to look busy and stay up late. they have to look like it because mcconnell is not saying, you didn't want to use all of your time? >> bret: there are some old birds in this group. [laughter] >> they like to leave the nest early. the reality for senate republicans, there are plenty of them who believe that trump did exactly what he is accused of and exactly what he said in public that he did. investigate hunter biden, i hope china does too. the senate is within its rights to dismiss the charges against him. that is how the system works. it's okay. nobody needs to freak out. that's how the framers saw this happening. they knew it would be partisan and contentious. they thought it would be worth. >> bret: they are not moving to dismiss motion at the beginning. they will play it out first. >> he has a tucked in there in case things get out of hand. if it looks like the matter is turning into a circus and it's belittling the senate, they can move to kill it quickly. >> there is this inside the beltway consensus that there are republicans who need to watch. it's interesting. we know the senators who might have pressure to get the media, their democratic senators who are under pressure too. they're running for reelection and states that president trump won and will be contesting very hard. gary peters and michigan. people might be willing to split their vote. they might be less likely if he doesn't vote the right way in their mind. we forget that as popular as impeachment is in the media, it's not popular in the middle of the country. particularly among independents where the most matter. democrats and republicans have gone to their corner, but you're fighting for people that have fatigue over this. it might not be improved by more discussion. >> bret: wait until tomorrow when the boats on the different things, many different votes and we will cover it. it's going to get -- this is not a good tease for it. [laughter] one thing only vote on witnesses, you have a vote on witnesses, but the white house could say executive privilege or mick mulvaney. that is a different vote. it would also be a senate vote to potential way. it's a different argument that the republicans who vote for witnesses may vote against changing executive privilege. >> absolutely and we know when the cameras are rolling, you don't have to have to have reality tv to show you how people react to politicians. to molly's point, i won't entirely disagree but when you look at what happened to republicans and the house, they were in very red districts where eric trump is still very popular and they were freshman and they still aren't. they're freshmen democrats and they still voted to impeach. that may go along more party lines on the right and left, regardless of people saying, look at susan collins. >> not a single republican voted on that impeachment and several democrats did side with republicans. that's another reason there is focus on the republicans. >> bret: we shall see. there is more tea tomorrow. next up, the latest on the democratic presidential race. ♪ so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa can you help keep these iguys protected online??

>> just pitiful. i have to say, "the new york times," i think of myself as a newspaperman and i think that endorsements are important. you actually have to endorse. they have special access to the candidates. they spent out whereupon i were talking to the candidates. they have the discussions. at the end with all their special privilege and access, they are afraid of offending one fashion or the other. it's very much a story of amy klobuchar. this could've been a huge boost to amy klobuchar's campaign, but the times were check-in and they water down their endorsement. it ends up being useless to everybody. this is a fail. >> bret: if anything says the battle between the democratic party, this is it. >> i don't buy this. i really don't. i think "the new york times" was sending a message to bernie sanders because they chose two woman after he was accused of saying a woman couldn't beat trump. i think they were staking a middle finger to the guy. quite frankly, although elizabeth warren has been popular, she's been falling. amy klobuchar is -- she is a very strong moderate candidate and you just don't see those numbers that pete buttigieg and joe biden gets. i don't take this endorsement seriously. because there are two and i think this is about winning. i wish "the new york times" were honest about it. >> i usually don't take endorsements very seriously. in this case "the new york times" is the house organ of the left. in a way that newspapers would have endorsed a democrat and republican. they're trying to endorse two sides of the actual party they represent. they picked two people and they make their case. for picking warren, they kept trashing her throughout the endorsement which was a very weird backhanded way to handle their problems. >> bret: in the meantime, joe biden on his way to "the new york times" was in the elevator and this video came o out. >> how are you? >> i'm great. you are like my favorites. >> thank you. what's your name? jack. >> you got a camera? >> oh, my god. >> bret: peter hamby tweeting, "joe biden in the elevator has more than six times the views on twitter than "the new york times" opinion pieces for warren and amy klobuchar combined." there is the possibility that joe biden wins iowa and then wins new hampshire. south carolina falls big time to joe biden and this thing is over soon. >> for all the liver consuming, hair pulling, garment rendering about the differences between bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. all the overheated stuff, joe biden just keeps winning. there is a poll out of iowa that was out today from an agricultural group. he is way ahead. he's looking good. the reality for democrats is they have never been able to put a glove on joe biden for real. he keeps moving along to the top. >> bret: we shall see. thank you. when we come back, a first of its kind on earth. an american hero. ♪ schmic ohhhhh! look who just woke up! you are so cute! but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with homeowners insurance. yeah, it was really easy and we saved a bunch of money. oh, you got it. you are such a smart bear! call geico and see how easy saving on homeowners and condo insurance can be. it's red lobster's new three-courfor $14.99.east choose soup or salad. one of seven delicious entrées - like new hawaiian-style garlic shrimp. and, get a sweet dessert. three courses. one amazing price. so come in today. ♪ robin hood and little john runnin' through the forest ♪ ♪ laughin' back and forth at what the other'ne has to say ♪ there's a booking for every resolution. book yours at booking.com >> man: what's mying my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked... the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me. >> tech: hi, i'm adrian. >> man: thanks for coming. ...with service i could trust. right, girl?
