or prove he's been putting out false information about his predecessor. how is the white house preparing? >> reporter: hi, ana. they seem to be preparing by standing ground, not backing down from the president's allegations made two weeks ago. we heard the president himself do so just yesterday at that press conference with germany's chancellor angela merkel and in an interview last week. shown sho white house press secretary sean spicer has said that the president is confident evidenced will come out that will vindicate him. but spicer also claimed that the british intelligence service helped president obama spy on ten-candidate trump in trump tower. that claim has been denied vehemently by the british, also by a top u.s. national security official. and so, but the white house doesn't seem to be showing any outward concern about what the fbi director and set to say on monday. and as you noted, he is expected
really tough position, trying to substantiate this tweet. there doesn't seem to be any evidence that backs this up. this week the white house seemed to task house intelligence chairman devin nunes with putting this claim to rest. they had nunes come out. he said that there was no evidence to back this up. they kept referring reporters to the house and senate intelligence committees when asked of evidence of these claims. then when you look at how president trump himself has referred to the wiretapping claims in the weeks since he's made them, he's sort of tried to move the goalpost as to what counts as wiretapping. it's no longer what we would think of in the traditional sense of communications, but now the white house is indicating maybe if there's evidence of incidental collection they would consider that as a substantiation of president trump's claims. that's not necessarily going to get him out of this trouble politically, though, because in the traditional sense that's not what wiretapping means.
to investigate how this got out there. he wants to know who leaked this information. so, you know, putting the wiretap thing to bed, laying that to rest, is kind of the first step in this process. it's fascinating that the president doesn't seem to want to let this go, again, bringing it up yesterday with angela merkel. but that is going to be all the congressional investigators, bipartisan, are ready to be done with this. that's going to be the first step on monday. >> and this hearing was supposed to be more about the broader russian investigation or looking into russia's involvement in the election. and then this wiretapping claim happened, and the rest is history, so to speak. tim, you wrote an op-ed for cnn, "spin for the sake of presidential reputation is a normal part of political life. but there is spin and there is spreading poison. even richard nixon," who you
describe as the most conspiracy minded president, "would be taken aback by what's going on today in terms of this wiretapping claim." explain further what you mean. >> a couple of things. on monday we will get evidence, i suspect, that donald trump tweeted without actually any evidence whatsoever and alleged that his predecessor wiretapped him. this means that we have a president now who is willing to go public with allegations without any information from his intelligence community. that's really bad. and that raises -- >> is there any precedent of other presidents doing something similar? >> we could spend a whole night talking about times where presidents have lied to the american people. the reason we had a credibility vap during vietnam was that lbj, lyndon johnson, didn't tell the truth about how the war was going. >> so this is nothing new. >> it's still bad. it's not something you want to see. what makes this really bad is
whether he is a republican or a democrat. what this white house is doing is rather than owning up to the fact that the president tweeted without any evidence, they're trying to cast blame. and not only are they blaming the intelligence community. they're blaming our allies, the british. >> right. >> that's completely irresponsible. there is a time, it's two months into this administration, this is the time for the president, donald trump, to be serious about the u.s. intelligence community, to take its information seriously, not to trust it always, but to take it seriously and to show the respect for it that every previous president since we developed a modern intelligence community under franklin roosevelt, every previous one showed that respect. it's time for donald trump to do it. he can't be playing these political games and think that this country looks good. we look very foolish as a nation when he is chasing phantoms as he has been. >> do you think that this has an
impact on the u.s.'s reputation, especially with our allies? as tim brought up, the president and the administration, sean spicer on behalf of the president, dragged britain, perhaps our greatest ally, into this wiretapping scandal. >> certainly i think that there is a certain amount of built into the expectations of our allies when they're dealing with president trump. they do know that they're not dealing with president obama, they're not dealing with someone who is as cool headed and as measured as the former president. and so their expectations have been recalibrated. that being said, this isn't necessarily good for diplomacy. it doesn't help to have president trump and rex tillerson or nikki haley or anyone else from his cabinet having sort of inconsistent messages at any given time. it should help that the entire cabinet should be on the same page when they're dealing with our allies. so obviously president trump and the white house, it's in their best interest to put this
wiretapping situation to bed. tom is absolutely right, the best thing for the white house and what they want right now is just to move on to the situation. as to why they keep referring reporters and anyone with a question to the house and senate intelligence committee, that's why they want to pick a fight with anyone who asks them about these wiretapping tweets in the briefing room. they just want the story to end. because they haven't been able to provide a back story for those tweets, it's not going anywhere. >> sarah, tom, thanks to all of you. live in the cnn newsroom, secretary of state rex tillerson about to have a crucial meeting with the chinese president. breaking news just in, north korea's leader kim jong un has reportedly ordered and overseen a military test just as the u.s. and chinese leaders were about to sit down and discuss north korea's heightened rhetoric. we'll go live for the latest on this breaking story when we come back. a modern way to pay. it's sold out. don't fret, my friend. i masterpassed it!
and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.
>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >> breaking news right now from overseas from north korea. state-run media there is reporting that the country has carried out a test of a new type of rocket engine that they're calling of historic significance. let's get to cnn national corresponde correspondent matt rivers and cnn correspondent elise labott. [ inaudible ] >> reporter: this is only coming from north korea state media at this point and we should take all of what they report with a large grain of salt. still, what they are saying there is this is a new high thrust engine that was tested on the ground in north korea as a part of this ongoing ballistic missile program that the north koreans have been actively engaged in. exactly what kind of engine this
is, what kind of power this has, what kind of impact on the overall missile development program in north korea. we're still trying to figure that out at this point. this is still coming into the newsroom. it's important to understand the context surrounding all this. north korea has been extremely busy as of late with dozens of ballistic missile tests since the beginning of 2016. and lately they've made a lot of progress in terms of moving that technology forward. one thing we've seen recently is how they've changed the way their rockets are fueled. they went from rockets that are liquid-fueled rockets to rockets that are fueled by a solid state fuel. that means you can launch the rocket much faster. that presented a significant step forward. the north koreans are taking steps towards developing an intercontinental ballistic missile that they could test at some point. is this new high thrust engine, as the north korea state media is calling it right now, does that have to do with their
development of a potential icbm? we're not sure yet. it's adding to what we've seen out of north korea recently, which is a continued development, a continued push to develop that ballistic missile test. and the ballistic missile program that they have up there in the face of all these u.n. sanctions, all this tough talk from the united states and china. it does appear that the north koreans are moving ahead and moving ahead at quite a clip. >> elise, it does seem like there's been quite a lot happening when it comes to aggressive military action. >> reporter: that's right, ana. and as matt said, in addition to these intermediate and medium range missile tests, my colleague, pentagon colleague barbara starr, put out some reporting just yesterday that there have been signs that u.s. intelligence has been looking at that the north koreans were getting ready to test some kind of engine. there's been a lot of activity at some of their sites.
they've been trying to mask it, to confuse everybody, but there's been a lot of activity that led them to believe that there would be some kind of engine missile test. as we know, as matt said, the north koreans have been working on this intercontinental ballistic missile. they're medium range technology in terms of those missiles, they continue to perfect that. and so there is a concern that this is moving them, inching them closer to some kind of engine and all the equipment for an intercontinental ballistic missile. and to show the u.s. has been watching this closely, you have the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general dunford, putting out a statement the other day, speaking with his south korean counterparts, saying the two discussed changes in the north korean nuclear and missile threat, and talking about possible response actions. so obviously the u.s. has been looking at this very closely.
and there is evidence to believe that north korea could be working on another nuclear test. so all of this certainly very concerning to the u.s. president trump came in with a warning from president obama and certainly the trump administration feels this is one of the gravest national security threats facing the u.s. >> of course the timing of this is also interesting. you remember it was back on february 11th when north korea fired off a ballistic missile test during the visit by the japanese prime minister here to the u.s. right now we have the secretary of state, rex tillerson, visiting china, and we know north korea is on the agenda as part of that discussion. how significant is it that this happens during tillerson's visit there in that region, elise? >> reporter: i think it's very significant, particularly in light of the messages that secretary tillerson is delivering, that he's very concerned about the imminent north korean threat. the last 20 years of policy,
tillerson said, has failed, and the u.s. is looking at new options. he signaled they're going to be a lot tougher. and you know that north korea, just as they did with president trump's meeting with prime minister abe, launching that missile, the north koreans want to get the attention of the u.s. so obviously you have to put it into that context. but it doesn't make the threat, ana, any greater or any less. with every test that north korea makes, whether they're doing it -- obviously they want to get attention and the love to be provocative. but with every test they make, they grow closer to having the kind of technology that would really be a disaster scenario for the u.s. and for europe, and certainly for south korea and japan. so this is very concerning to the u.s. and not just the fact that he did it with secretary tillerson there. i think that way it actually benefits secretary tillerson when he goes into this meeting
with chinese president xi jinping very shortly, to say, look at the threat we're facing, we really have to double down, when president xi comes next month to meet with president trump, and he will be setting the table for that meeting today. it certainly makes the threat much more real. >> all right, elise labott, matt rivers, thank you so much. recappi recapping, the u.s. getting word that north korea has tested some new technology, they're calling it high thrust engine technology. we're working to gather more details. we'll be right back. about your brokerage fees.tion fees? what did you have in mind? i don't know. $4.95 per trade? uhhh. and i was wondering if your brokerage offers some sort of guarantee? guarantee? where we can get our fees and commissions back if we're not happy. so can you offer me what schwab is offering? what's with all the questions? ask your broker if they're offering $4.95 online equity trades and a satisfaction guarantee. if you don't like their answer, ask again at schwab.

welcome back to cnn newsroom. sources tell cnn house republicans are planning to vote thursday on their plan to repeal and replace obamacare. president trump expressing optimism that they will have enough support on their side. >> we met with 12 pretty much noes in congress. they went from all noes to all yeses. and we have a lot of yeses coming in. it's all coming together. we're going to have great health care. >> the reality is the fate of this bill is far from sealed. cnn has been keeping track of the votes. here is where we are at last trek. 14 republicans say no, not going to vote for it. 11 are leaning no. so that makes 25. the republicans can only afford to lose 21. so what do voters in trump country think of this debate in washington? cnn's martin savidge went out to find out. >> reporter: in this part of michigan, breakfast is big. >> this is a city, this is a
town that just about every america knows mainly because of breakfast. kellogg. >> hi, i'm tony the tiger! >> reporter: battle creek. the city that frosted flakes, froot loops, and grape nuts built. home to kellogg and post. but other parts of battle creek, like many parts of michigan, have seen better days, from jobs shifting out of state to finding affordable health care. he owns the griffin grill. he wanted to find health care for his 30 employees but couldn't afford it. he couldn't afford his own. obamacare took a toll on his premiums. >> just so we're clear, you didn't have obamacare. it was the impact that obamacare had on your private insurance. >> yes, absolutely. >> did you see it right away, these increases?
>> yes, you could see it doubling. >> reporter: this tax attorney in part owes his living on the impact obamacare has had on his middle income customers. >> people can't afford insurance. or they can't pay their taxes. they come to my office as a result. >> reporter: in this part of america, the affordable care act isn't very popular. calhoun county swung away from obama in 2016. >> it was donald trump's talk of replacing obamacare. was that one of the things that drew you to him? >> definitely. >> reporter: he's self-employed and the republican county chair. he too says he struggled to pay his family's thousand dollars a month health insurance premiums. >> i ended up just deciding i'm going to go without. >> reporter: what do you know of the republican plan put forward so far? >> i know what's in the headlines. i don't know details. >> reporter: a lot of trump supporters i talked to admit they really don't know the details of the republican plan to replace obamacare.
>> do they know what the change is going to be? >> they don't know what the change is. i don't know if they really understand what trump is proposing. frankly i don't either. >> you know, it's overload, because that's all they're talking about. i turn it on and turn it off. but -- >> do you think it will be better? >> i do. >> reporter: another recurring theme among trump voters, in their minds anything will be better than obamacare, especially if trump is behind it. >> i really in my heart feel that trump cares about the american people. and when he says he wants to make america great again, i think he has the best intentions to get people healthy. >> donald trump has sort of implied, and i know he uses, you know, simplistic language, but it's going to be the best ever, it's going to cost guess, you'll get more, those kinds of things. do you believe that? >> i think his ability to negotiate and get people from all sides buying into it, i think that they're going to make
some improvements. >> if the president says it's going to be a good plan? >> i'm not sure i'm that trusting. but better, less bad, maybe. >> reporter: martin savidge, cnn, battle creek, michigan. >> our thanks to martin savage. coming up, twitter-versary. we'll point out some of president trump's most controversial tweets. >> should i keep the twitter going or not? keep it going? i think so. i think so. ted flavor into ever, which has its drawbacks. guys, know anything about this missing inventory? wasn't me! the cheeks don't lie, chet... irresistibly planters.

now some of those old postings are coming back to haunt him as critics are alleging he's trafficking in conspiracies. >> reporter: private citizen trump tweeted that global warming was a hoax by the chinese. despite offering no evidence, the science is clear. according to noaa and nasa, nearly all the 17 hottest years on record have occurred since 2000. after his november 2016 election win, trump conceded a human impact on climate change. coming in at number 7, the disease that killed thousands of people, ebola. in october 2014, trump tweeted, "ebola is much easier to
transmit than the cdc and government representatives are admitting, spreading all over africa and fast. stop flights." well, ebola did not spread all over africa. all about 15 of the 11,000 ebola-related deaths were confined to three countries in west africa. trump never gave any evidence to back up his accusation that the government was hiding the truth. in march 2014, trump tweeted a debunked health claim, offering, again, no evidence. healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with vaccine, doesn't feel good, autism, many such cases. the cdc says there are no links between vaccines and autism. actually here is what president trump's pick to lead the fda said in 2015. >> i think for too long a lot of people's public statements allowed these myths to propagate because they said things like, we don't think there's correlation but we need more
research. we don't need more research. at some point you have to take no for an answer. >> from 2012, the economy is in terrible shape. barack obama is manipulating the job numbers to hide the truth. another claim candidate trump repeated without evidence during his run for president. >> i hear 5.3% unemployment. that is the biggest joke there is in this country. >> but after a strong jobs report for his first full month in office, a sudden reversal from the white house press secretary. >> they may have been phony in the past but it's very real now. >> minutes after cnn called the 2012 election for president obama, he lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. we should have a revolution in the country. also calling the electoral college phony. actually president obama won the electoral college vote and the popular vote. as the numbers came in, trump deleted those tweets. four years later, donald trump's
own actual electoral win and popular vote loss takes us to number 3. in addition to winning the electoral college in a landslide, i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. >> you're going to find, and we're going to do an investigation on it. >> but three to five million illegal votes? >> we'll find out. it could be that much. >> still no white house investigation nor any evidence to support the claim. at number 2, how low has president obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process. this is nixon/watergate. bad or sick guy. well, the house intelligence committee launched an investigation into that claim. >> we don't have any evidence that that took place. and in fact i don't believe, just in the last week of time, the people we've talked to, i don't think there was an actual tap of trump tower. >> we will be submitting certain things, and i will be perhaps speaking about this next week, but it's right now before the
committee. and i think i want to leave it there. >> and the number one debunked or baseless claim. >> you are not allowed to be a president if you're not born in this country. he may not have been born in this country. >> the relentless questioning of president obama's birthplace, tweeting in 2012, an extremely credible source has called my office and told me that barack obama's birth certificate is a fraud. well, that was more than a year after the president released his long form birth certificate in response to trump's claims. >> i know that there is going to be a segment of people for which no matter what we put out, this issue will not be put to rest. >> that included donald trump, who tweeted in 2012, i want to see barack obama's college records to see how he listed his place of birth in the application. then under intense pressure during his campaign for president in 2016, donald trump finally acknowledged the truth. >> president barack obama was born in the united states,
period. >> happy twitter-versary to @realdonaldtrump. joining me now, brian stelter, host of "reliable sources." eight years, trump on twitter. he's clearly not changing his ways. do we need to change the way we cover his tweets? >> i think newsrooms are getting more judicious about this, taking it very seriously when it involves foreign policy or foreign affairs or governance, taking it a little less seriously when he's complaining about ash arnold schwarzenegger or picking a fight with some celebrity. those tweets can end up being distractions. certainly he's making news on twitter. it's a new form of a press release, both on twitter and on facebook, which is probably a bigger way, it reaches more people, even though it gets less attention. he has mastered twitter unlike any other politician. it's worth noting that eight-year anniversary.
all throughout president obama's tenure he was tweeting all the way along as we saw after election night in 2012, laying the groundwork to become president. >> it's interesting, when we have seen his tweets before, he was tweeting as trump the celebrity, as a big business mogul. but now he's tweeting as trump and as president. so as the media, we look at these tweets and it's hard not to take them seriously. >> absolutely. we need to scrutinize his words just like obama's or bush's or reagan's or any president's words that have to be taken seriously. but i think the media amplifies president trump's tweets in a significant way, possibly too loudly. his posts today were about merkel, about germany. there were 15,000 retweets, that means 15,000 people spread them to their friends. but millions of people heard about those tweets through your newscasts and other newscasts. so it's the media who amplifies
his tweets. if i tweet about my breakfast, nobody pays attention. maybe we should spend less time talking about his celebrity feuds. >> >> the president was asked if he regrets any of his tweets. let's watch. >> my second question, are there from time to time tweets that you regret. >> very seldom. >> so you -- >> very seldom. probably wouldn't be here right now. very seldom. we have a tremendous group of people that listen. i can get around the media when the media doesn't tell the truth so i like that. >> the thing that he said there that really caught my attention was i probably wouldn't be here right now. >> probably wouldn't be here. >> if he didn't tweet the way he does. does he have a point? >> i think we heard some political experts say the same thing. it was twitter that helped the president get to where he is. i would disagree a little bit. i think everybody has a different theory for why trump was able to win the presidency.
it was more about cultural currents and reaction to obama's race, class and gender. what's significant about twitter is the president knows how to speak in 140 characters in a sentence or two and how to convey short, simple persuasive messages and that's what twitter and facebook teaches you to do. teaches you how to be concise with your words. president trump whether calling hillary clinton crooked or talking about building the wall, short declarative statements is why he's the first twitter president. >> he's sort of a matter of this. >> every other politician -- many other politicians are already learning from this and are going to. whoever runs in 2020, they're going to try to be media companies the same way trump is with facebook and twitter accounts and reality tv show along the way. >> seeing now that he can get in some serious trouble with just 140 characters. look at what happened with wiretapping tweets and fox news
actually addressed those tweets. president trump saying his wiretapping tweets were citing a fox news story. let's watch this. >> fox news knows of no evidence of any kind that the now president of the united states was surveilled at any time in any way full stop. >> so the president or at least sean spicer said essentially it was fox news. we were reporting what we heard on their air. now we hear fox news say we can't even back up what that commentator said on our air. is he threatening the credibility of fox news? >> there's a weird dance going on. fox says we don't have proof for what you're saying. we can't back up what you're saying. it does go to show the president's tweets matter more now because he's in the white house and because he has attention of the entire world with his entire feed. >> brian stelter, good to see

me there is something truly magical about a fast food staffed. and looking at what the world of arts and culture has in store for us in twenty eighteen. but first we look back at twenty seventeen and odds twenty one's highlights of the year. january set the bar high with the opening of the old film only in hamburg all the troubles with cost overruns and construction delays were as good as forgotten replaced by genuine excitement and an endless rush of visitors to concerts and the viewing platform. come out has really reinvented itself as a city of culture but lynn is still in the midst of construction in two years the

exhibition of work by photographer peter. that explores the aesthetics of the ordinary. pay to be a librescu isn't searching for subjects that catch the eye photographers from glossy magazines probably wouldn't notice the images he say's he spent five years capturing what represents heimat home and came back with thirty thousand pictures. as photographic series is called despite a high marked second time anyone expecting sentimental coziness be disappointed. this is a list the hope mine. what i'm doing is meant to be pessimistic. it's just to
counter this happy clappy feel good stuff that we get otherwise. all we have to do is look around at advertising posters it's always hostile fassel beautiful people if you look at city p.r. . over themselves with loads of inaccurate adjectives that my work is something you actually see it's verifiable not something you were led to believe in at least it's a world that appears authentic. though. there's nothing slick about as he doesn't use photoshop he's interested in everyday life takes pictures of places that to many look more like nowhere then somewhere. a decade ago conveyed a very different image of germany and his first series entitled simply heimat. it was full of romantic landscapes the dwarfed people to insignificance.
this seeming innocence that the first series has with the landscapes and these tiny figures in the cortex it's naturally interrupted by this and other parts of the country we live in they're run down streets places that we don't go to in hamburg either. this image may be plain but it is a puzzle that inspires the imagination kind of people who live here. and that's a very poetic moment in there for me but all in all this something ironic to. and i think this interface between irony and confession and the embrace of something that many people see is ugly to me there's something truly magical about
a fast food stand from its path as it was. a fast food stand can also evoke the idea of home his subjects are often found in overlooked places in limbo side streets and backyards far away from the usual sights to seeing. home can be anywhere. i might add to your mother smith's home always involves memory and experience as a person has had. this part will someday represent home for a few kids they'll remember specific smells the exhaust from the ships hanging in the air and the vegetation and when they somewhere at some point encounter the same smells it will remind them of home and everyone has their own individual sense of
home because it is always something that is actually taken along in memory. in the ongoing and the photographer who studied political science and sociology is now working on a new project in hamburg's brand new half in city district the transformation is taking place here that interests him he's intrigued not so much by the before and after but the spaces in between. an artist in search of authenticity. so what awaits us in the year to come. gives us a sneak preview. are. talking to chris most recent work is burning back along the most expensive german

he was the hero of the labor movement in the nineteenth century and a passionate critic of bush was society come months together with his friend treated gangers became the most influential theorists of socialism and communism marx his main concern was the inequality created by capitalism. it's astonishing but true marx foresaw many of the problems we face today can we learn from him it's worth reading his works at any rate and marks his bicentennial he's a good occasion for that his birthplace of trivia will be honoring him with a major exhibition happy birthday karma it's. two thousand and eighteen also marks a major anniversary for an entire social movement inspired by karl marx the student movement whose members are known as the sixty eight generation. these young
people protested against conservative social structures the vietnam war repressive sexual morals and the failure to effectively address germany's nazi past thousands of students took to the streets and the events of nine hundred sixty eight came to define an entire generation. this era produced exceptional artists such as sigma pahlka. and joseph boys rebellion and the people change the federal republic of germany because it all for the better for all the sixty eight is responsible for a loss of social values a drop in the birth rate and a crisis in education but the era did produce really great music. really great vibe so i wish that for all of us in two thousand and eighteen happy new year stay healthy and stay with us season. moves on the.

forgotten he was going to break the north korean sanction news there was so much other stuff. he spoke to reporters before he even got to the event. and i see what you mean about dliewght the message. juan, what was most offensive part of the speech? >> juan: seven years to go. [laughter] for an old man you are risking a heart attack. >> dana: are you going to make it? >> juan: seven years to go. the cpac audience went wild. so this was a rally. that's what i thought it was going to be and i think his staff thought it was going to be something about increasing sanctions on north korea. as you say, he has kind of got to it at the very end. but as an after thought. he was far more interested in to pick up on the steak house analogy of throwing out the chunks of red meat everywhere he turned. i was surprised that he was throwing out chunks though that had to do with things like democrats abandon daca. i'm the one who cares. wait a minute, he is the one who ended daca and set this
march deadline. now he finds himself in a situation the deadline is approaching and he has got nothing. and the democrats are willing to take a risk. i hope they are having a little more spine than they did last time when schumer backed out on that budget deal. and then this business about lock her up. jesse, it just seems to me like, you know, what would you say, greg, i said a 1970s hit. do you know what i mean? we have been through that. but he still. >> greg: it's his free bird. >> kimberly: oldy but a goody. classic rock. >> jesse: snake. >> juan: it's like he is going back. he needs a hillary. he needs an obama. because he just needs somebody to be -- >> jesse: kimberly, i think every politician has a boogie man out there, whether it's at home or abroad that they use to score points against. and hillary continues to be out there in the conversation. so why not take a shot? >> juan: she lost. >> jesse: say that again,
that's human psychology one-on-one. he was explaining why you lose in two years in a way at people at home understands. oh, it's so much work you already won. that's the best so persuasive, i think. you are looking at me like i'm from out of space. >> juan: this looks how unprepared is he for the job. never been a congressman and senator or governor. oh this is really hard. who knew healthcare could be so complicated? to me this is subject of ridicule. >> greg: at least that's honest. >> juan: honest, oh my gosh. >> dana: working on policies good foreve for our opponents. may not realize those policies are good for them but we are doing it anyway. i thought that was effective. >> jesse: said a few nice things he said about keeping his promise. he bragged obviously, the only politician that's actually kept more promises than he made during the campaign. but when you look back,
besides the wall, a lot of the stuff he has delivered on and the audience really enjoyed that. >> kimberly: they did. he is a man of the people even though he is a new york billionaire. he's relatable because his language, his rhetoric isn't like floury. flowery. it's down to earth. something for everybody there this is my guy. he is not trying to talk above me. not trying to talk around me. making me feel like i'm here for you. we have got things in common. i'm getting it done. that's like a reassuring feeling. it's not like the typical politician where you go i can't relate to that person at all. >> juan: can i play skunk at the garden party for a second? >> kimberly: be yourself. i can smell from here. >> juan: i think he promised to do away with obamacare. >> jesse: mandate is gone. the mandate is long gone, juan. >> juan: obamacare is real
scott walkner johnson thinking about getting out. infrastructure. i don't see any infrastructure spending, no. >> jesse: if democrats could come to the table, juan, you would actually get some infrastructure. >> juan: how about i promise to cut the deficit. the minute i get in there e oh. >> jesse: just wind isis off the map. how about that promise. >> greg: amazing democrats care about a deficit and trump did that for them. what kimberly and dana and juan says the presentation is an old school populist. gets up there and he is tell you this is what we are going to do when you pull back the reason we have disagreements all of you was do. almost everything he does is common sense centrism. he talk presidency enforced border and 1.7 million people. talks about gun talking about popular proactive solutions that some the nra might not like. tax reform, if people think
that really helped the rich, they're wrong. >> dana: can i add one other thing he did today it wasn't in the cpac speech but in his press conference with martin turnbull. he talked briefly but it was interesting insight into that he is getting the briefings and he understands what's happening in syria. and he said it was disgraceful. 250 innocent people that we know of were killed targeted by russians and syrians and we have a huge mess on our hands there the one thing that's a little bit difficult to understand is he says that but also in the same speech or in the preference he says, you know, we have degraded isis. we have taken over their territory and we're out of there. that is not sustainable. both of those things cannot be true u going forward in a second year of a presidency your foreign policy pieces get really important and little bit difficult to deal with. >> jesse: absolutely right. >> juan: before we go, it's kind of a serious note there are stories now that indicate that the russians
were in touch with top leadership before they attacked. >> dana: it's the same guy. that report is terrible. you could tell that the president knew about it and he was talking about it. >> jesse: all right. efforts there to protect stoneman douglas high school but he didn't take action. the president has some words for the armed officer that domgd his duties that day up next. ♪ [man] woah. ugh, i don't have my wallet, so - [girl 1] perfect! you can send a digital payment.

still inside the building? >> yes, he was. >> and what should he have done? >> went in. addressed the killer. killed out killer. >> how much time went by that he did not go in that he could have gone in? >> minutes, minutes. i think it was upwards -- i think he remained outside of upwards of four minutes. >> what would you say to the family. >> devastated, sick to my stomach. there are no words. >> kimberly: president trump also had words about that officer today. >> he whole life example. when it came time to get in there and do something, he didn't have the courage or something happened. he heard it right at the beginning. so he certainly did a poor job. that's the case where somebody was outside. they're trained. they didn't react properly under pressure or they were a coward. it was a real shot to the police department. >> kimberly: the president addressing, obviously everybody devastated.
can you imagine the family members and -- these poor students that were murdered to think my god, you could have done something if you reacted. how many lives could have you saved? what could have you done but, instead you stood and tried to protect yourself instead of trying to save others, which is your duty? >> greg: there is a couple of elements to this whole story that are just infuriating. and it makes me infuriated at sheriff israel because he said there are no words. but when he was up at that town hall, he had a lot of words for dana loesch. there were 18 calls from people about this guy. there were nearly 40 home visits. two tips to the fbi. you found out scott peterson had warnings passed on to him about this mad man before. this the fbi tip was pretty incredible. said the guy was going to explode. then have you sheriff israel deflect -- trying to get the audience at that town hall to focus on dana loesch. and like this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for guns, guns, guns.
meanwhile, if he is aware of all of this stuff. >> dana: what about him? >> greg: this guy has got to go. this is like -- this is -- i mean, scott peterson, who knows what happens when this moment comes, do you freeze, if he freeze, he did have prior knowledge about this. and their job for the police is they have to be the first one in there. they rush in so we can run away. and he didn't do it. >> kimberly: yet others that had no weapon rushed in to try to. >> greg: rotc guys. >> kimberly: rushed in and tried to save the coach and others rushed in and had nothing to defend or protect themselves. unbelievable to me. dana? >> dana: like a fire firefighter saying i'm not going in that burning house to save somebody. hang out out here. the thing that also bothers me about that sheriff. i didn't say anything on the day publicly, but he was so infuriating about and offputting thanking all of
the first responders answered went through all of them. and did you such a good job. you did such a good job. and every single press conference for three days is great how everybody else had done. in the meantime whether they didn't know about this until recently or trying to cover it up is so devastating for the family. >> just that point i think it was jake tapper tweeted some information that they -- like deliberately egg northward the people that actually got there first. it was another county of officers. >> allegedly there was another police department that had gotten there first and did a lot in terms of first responding. and the sheriff israel kind of ignored that. he is a very political guy. he seems to be a real operator where you don't want that. you want more law enforcement. i have seen pictures of him smiling with hillary, smiling with bernie sanders. you know, i'm not accusing him of anything, that's not what i -- out of a sheriff, i just want a straight shooter. i have a few words for him. he said i have no words. how about i'm sorry? how about we failed. i would have liked to hear a
little accepting responsibility with his deputy that didn't do his job. >> kimberly: he should go. >> jesse: he should go. when they found out that this guy was derelict. they just suspended him. they didn't even really fire him. you probably can't even fire someone. and now the guy retires with full benefits. the fact that state, local and federal agencies all failed. yet all the sudden they want to blame the nra makes no sense to me here. >> kimberly: okay, juan? >> juan: i thought he was trying to blame the fbi. >> jesse: the fbi should accept some blame, too they have more than the sheriff. >> juan: let me just say it's so easy to blame someone else. you think about it, jesse, almost a million calls. a million calls. they have got to pick a needle out of that haystack. that can be difficult especially when you are dealing with laws in florida. today a lookout of discussion about this so-called baker act which allows you to involuntarily take somebody and commit them because you see them as a trust danger to themselves or danger to others.
well, apparently, psychiatric officials had contact with this young man but couldn't pass that threshold. and that threshold can be pretty tough. and i would think that conservatives would say yeah, we don't want people just somehow bad mouthing us or saying stuff about us and taking away either our guns or our liberty. >> jesse: i would think those people who evaluated him are probably feeling pretty bad about that right now. >> juan: i don't know. i think though on the guns part. i think back to columbine. i think to aurora. i think to what the president said today in light of what happened with the guard here in parkland, in every case, there was an armed guard. it didn't stop anything. >> greg: aurora was a gun-free zone. i think it's going to be hard politically for liberals to watch if donald trump outflanks them on this issue and actually comes up with the practical solutions that they claimed that they wanted but haven't put through. >> kimberly: bad news for

[laughter] >> jesse: not as substantive as the gun ships encircling the peninsula. i think it's carrot and stick. >> dana: juan, one of the things interesting about the timing of the announcement is when vice president pence was headed to the olympics, he made some very strongly worded speeches about north korea and being tough.
knew what happened at the opening ceremony. ivanka trump is going for the closing ceremony. the head military intel guy from north korea is also going to the closing ceremony. and so i think it was a strategic move to put these sanctions out today as she is landing in south korea. >> juan: well, i'm not sure what's going on because, remember, they cancelled the meeting -- they thought pence was going to have a meeting. they cancelled that meeting at the last moment. now, there is no such prospect for ivanka trump. there is no such meeting scheduled. she will have, i think it's dipper or something with the south korean president. >> dana: yeah, tomorrow. >> juan: at his residence. the big event will be closing night for the closing ceremonies. you will have the two of them. ms. perino complained last time about vice president pence's seating tell us why. >> dana: i did. because i felt they put him in a bad position. i would have advocated for a different seating arrangement. >> juan: the question is now they can be seated.
president trump is not there so we won't have to worry about the bald spot. >> dana: that's a small little thing. >> juan: they are not going to talk. the question is how it comes across. i think it's a lot of symbolism that she is there representing the president very much his number one child. >> dana: sanctions, kimberly we must have some idea the intelligence communities must know north korea hasn't tried to stop its nuclear program at all. >> kimberly: of course, right. they are getting realtime intelligence on this and updates as they should. they have to monitor it very closely. they are obviously receiving information showing they are not in compliance and therefore these kind of actions need to be taken. i like the fact that look we are being very well represented by ivanka trump. she is going there. and the president was obviously very proud of her to represent the country so i think that was nice. i'm glad that he sent his daughter. i think that's symbolic. send a strong woman over there. represent the country. while at the same time putting the fist to north
korea. >> dana: greg, had you a good point in the commercial break. it's a new cold war tactic. old tactic for the new cold war? >> greg: declaring war on companies not just the country we have to go after the chinese banks which is going to be an issue. if i wanted to walk across the studio, but each step -- each successive step became half the length of the previous step, i would never reach the wall. do you know that? that's what these sanctions are there is an endless spectrum of intensity. and the hope is that you never reach the wall, which is the war. so the point is you have -- we hear this is the biggest one yet. each one will always be the biggest one yet. >> jesse: i like my python analogy better. >> greg: i was mad you took the python one. that's what the snake poem was about. i'm certain if we do go to war with north korea we will win because have you seen how they march? they can't get very far that
way. >> dana: like they are taking half a step back. >> greg: very slow, right, juan? juan juan if i'm living in south korea or japan i'm thinking yeah you might not get hurt but what about else? >> greg: i know. i was trying to make a serious topic a little lighter. i failed, america. >> dana: we'll keep going on some serious topics. california is in president trump's crosshairs again. you will find out why next. ♪ try to get it while we can ♪ names in a tattoo ♪ or just a number on a hand ♪e or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424. that's it!girl! get it, woo, yeah! mom! my game's over. parents aren't perfect, but then they make us kraft mac & cheese and everything's good again.

and the protection of these horrible criminals in california and other places. but in california that if we ever pulled our ice out. if we ever said hey, let california alone. let them figure it out for themselves, in two months they would be begging for us to come back. they would be begging and you know what? i'm thinking about doing it. >> juan: democrat dianne feinstein fired back saying the president's obsession with california is growing more outrageous by the day. his attacks are, quote patently false. kimberly? >> kimberly: yeah. i think it's kind of funny. is that bad? >> juan: no, no. >> kimberly: he gets upset about this. he doesn't like california and a lot of the politicians pon aggressive against him. they want to sue him about the wall and environmental reasons. they are upset because they feel they don't like his immigration policy. this is essentially the birthplace, the capital of sanctuary cities, right, with san francisco and the crimes that have happened. so they are a state that's
very vocal and critical about the president, his policies. what he has been able to accomplish and what he is intending to accomplish like building the wall. so, because of that, they get his focus and attention. so he says things like that that perhaps not, you know, something that you would like to hear. but this is his personality. this is who he is. >> juan: wow, that was interesting. i mean you don't totally agree? >> i didn't say that i'm explaining to you where is he coming from based on the relationship which is a little bit complicated and has not been quite receptive. it's not his state. >> juan: so should chicago and philly be on the watch for a trump pay back? >> it's possible. i don't think it's an empty threat. you could hear the anger in his voice. he is very frustrated with california. california and the trump administration on a collision course. we are going to get a crash course in federalism if this continues. they have gone after him as they said on environmental on illegal immigration. on judges.
a travel ban a few times. >> kimberly: ninth circuit. >> jesse: makes for entertaining discourse. at the same time california has been mismanaged by liberals. they have been run by liberals for decades. they are broke. there is a very high crime rate. homeless population is out of control. a lot of depend dense on the government there all they have is weather, great food, and great land scaption. so to make california out to be this paragon of virtue. it's just not drew. someone else should come in and take charge there because i mean, if it keeps going the way it's going we might not have a lot of the beautiful parts of california anymore. >> juan: just a quick question. short on time. silicon valley, hollywood? >> jesse: amazing parts of california, juan, not everyone lives like hollywood and silicon valley. >> juan: pretty successful. their economy is pretty amazing to me. anyway, dana, jerry brown, current governor of california, signed a california values act that
forbids local authorities from asking about immigration status. this was back in december so it would seem that the president is putting it to jerry brown. i'm going to take away your ice agents or you undo that law. >> dana: right. if the president is spit ballinblowing ideas told by chif counsel actually sir you are not allowed to do that it doesn't necessarily matter from a communications standpoint he is trying to make his case. can constantly go back and said i would have taken them out of there. they deserves it i had to keep them. in becomes rhetorical device. it does send a strong message and other states would probably take a second look and wants to back away from the hot stove. >> juan: so we have two california people on this panel. one of them is greg gutfeld. >> greg: that's correct. thank you for noticing that every option on the table. why captains we use nukes? what's the problem with using nukes? and why can't we build a wall?
you brought up california as a californian, it's depressing to me because i loved growing up there. it was the best -- probably the best time to live in california was during the 1970s. it was fantastic. it was this -- it was great. it was cheap. now it's not. i can't live there. but now. >> jesse: you can't afford it. >> kimberly: new york is really inexpensive. >> greg: california is in a crappy situation literally. san francisco i believe spent something like $30 million cleaning up homeless feces and syringes. >> kimberly: it wasn't like that when i was first lady. >> greg: ever watched that show called my 600-pound life? california is that person. it's too big to move. so everyone else is moving. everyone is leaving. silicon valley in hollywood. you are talking about the ultimate example in economic inequality. stockton right now is going to an act of universal based income because people they don't know how to deal with people not having jobs.

star's dorondo dale, and in the face of all that lying the president took it to a new level this week. >> just remember what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening. >> well, this is a president who doesn't hesitate to tell you that whatiosee with your own eyes and hear with your own ears is not the truth. the sheer number of lies can be overwhelming, and the danger is we'll become numb to all of this, that we'll tell ourselves it's just trump being trump. but there's a larger question here. can the truth survive president trump? as a new york real estate developer he built his business on his own blatant lies claiming trump tower has 68 floors when the truth is easy to see, it has 58. when according to a forbes
reporter his real worth was closer to $5 billion and this is man who built his campaign on lies starting with racist birther lie starting with president barack obama was not born in this country, a lie he still reportedly clings to in private. >> he wasn't born in this country which is a real possibility. >> claiming he saw muslims celebrating on roofs in new jersey on 9/11. never happened. claiming he opposed the iraq war from the beginning when the fact is his first critical comments came 18 months into the war. suggesting ted cruz's father was somehow involved in the jfk assassination which is just beyond belief. and now as president donald trump is lying more and more and doubling down on his strategy of trying to discredit anyone who questions his lies. well, what are these lies doing
to our democracy? to our standing in the world? facts still matters, right? the truth still matters. so are you going to believe the man who tells you to ignore the facts, ignore the truth or are you going to believe what you see with your own eyes or hear with your own ears? good question. let's bring in now david chalian. president trump's lies are coming fast and furious. as i've just said before, he's made 54 false claims last week and says that in the last six weeks -- the last ten weeks his most dishonest weeks as president. that's according to dorondo dale. why is this getting worse? >> two things. one i think the president is under increasing pressure from the michael cohen thing, but the real reason why you see an up
tick in this and no desire from the president to step away from this behavior is because he doesn't suffer huge repercussions for it in terms of his base of support, in terms of the people who work for him and are interacting with him every day. in terms of his party's members of congress who he's dealing with. there's no flood away from him that this is unacceptable in some way from his circle of influencers. and that to me gives him permission to continue to do this. >> president trump, he's been astonishingly effective, david, in getting his followers to believe him even in the face of bold faced lie. is there any sense that things are changing and as this becomes more frequent and even boulder as he does that? >> i don't see any evidence of that change, of what you're saying about his supporters starting not to believe what he's saying. i don't see any evidence of
A recap of the day's news.
and no, neither i or anyone else has ever seen anything like this. truth is the currency of democracy. without truth you don't have government, an informed electorate, you don't have a democracy. you don't have a constitutional republic based on the principle of democracy. you just can't do it. that's central. now, donald trump has been very effective with a certain segment of the population. surprising to me and a large segment of the population, roughly something of a third, running up to maybe 40%. i would say about the previous interview you did with david, that there are some signs that some of his base, women in the suburbs but according to polls are beginning to say we've had enough. just a footnote. look, what's happening now is donald trump is authoritarian. he wants people to believe that the only truth, the one and only
A recap of the day's news.
era in which there's no such thing as objective facts. he has all the facts, he has all the information, just listen to him. that's what he's preaching and that's his presidency. i also agree there's no desperation. i do think that the appearance of closing the mueller investigation, some of what's happening with some of his former counsel, mr. cohen, i think thig is beginning to tell on him some. as he gets more desperate he takes bigger risks in telling bigger lies or more often telling lies, and telling people, look, don't believe what you read or see anywhere else, just come to me. i have the ultimate truth, i am the way. >> so i asked david do his supporters not believe him or do they just not care. you say most americans see through the propaganda. i hope you're right. why do you say that?
>> appreciate your time. when we come back donald trump's tangled relationship with the truth goes way back. how he built his real estate empire on a foundation of lies and how he got away with it for so many years. when you bundle your auto and home insurance with esurance, you could save with their single deductible. so if you confused the brake with the gas, or if your lamp post jumped out of nowhere, or if you forgot your bike was on the roof rack, you only pay one deductible -instead of two- for a claim involving both your auto and home.
and when you save that much, it's almost like it... never even happened. that's auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. at&t provides edge-to-edge intelligence, covering virtually every part of your business. so this won't happen. because you've made sure this sensor and this machine are integrated. atta, boy. & yes, some people assign genders to machines. & with edge-to-edge intelligence, you'll know your customers love this color, & don't love this one. never getting grape again. & you can adjust in near real time. & if someone tries to breach your firewall in london & you start to panic... don't. you've got allies on the outside, & security algorithms on the inside.
& if it's jammed up here, & it's hot in here. & you know both those things, you can do this. & your flowers won't wilt. at&t provides edge to edge intelligence. it can do so much for your business, the list goes on and on. that's the power of &. & when her patient's blood pressure drops, she can share the information with...
the coauthor of "the art of the deal" are both here to talk about that. but first gloria takes a long look at trump's history of lies. >> reporter: from the election itself. >> in many places like california, the same person votes many times. you probably heard about that. they like to say, oh, that's a conspiracy theory. not a conspiracy, folks. millions and millions of people. >> reporter: to the inauguration. >> we had a massive field of people, it went all the way back to the washington monument. >> reporter: to statements like this. >> what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening. >> reporter: donald trump has had a fraught relationship with the truth. one that goes back decades. to the building and selling of trump tower where barbara res managed the construction. >> he planted that i was looking for an apartment in trump tower. >> and that didn't happen?
>> no. but it made the papers. >> sure. so voracity wasn't a part of it. it was just getting the buzz out there about trump? >> yes. >> did you guys laugh at it or -- >> there was nothing so terrible about it. it was kind of like puffing. you know it was like exaggerating. >> tony schwartz, coauthor of trump's art of the deal has a name for this. >> i call it an innocent form of exaggeration. now i can call something that i actually sold for $2 million, i can say $10 million and that becomes truthful hyperbole. the truth is the truth, hyperbole is a lie. they don't go together. >> reporter: and they didn't go together of trump's taj mahal cuseen eo in 1990 when some of
the flauocks didn't work. >> when they went down, many things hadn't been done. they shutdown a third of the slots. >> reporter: slots that were critical to the casino's success. >> to shutdown a third on opening day was both humiliating and financially disastrous, and it was only done because he doesn't have, you know, an organization in-depth. >> reporter: but that wasn't the story trump told. >> something could go bad like the opening of the taj, and he would say it's because we had so much business here this happened. not because the systems broke down, not because we didn't know what we were doing. truly he would just lie about everything. >> reporter: and he did. >> what about the slot machine thing when they were down for a while? >> the slots were so hot. again, nobody's seen people play that hard and that fast. >> so it blew out the slots.
>> it blew apart. >> so wrapped up in hyperbole it's almost constant lies, whether it's the littlest things, you know, where if you had 2,000 people at an event, you know, he would say there was 5,000 people at an event. >> reporter: and he got away with it. >> there's no belief system. if it will work i will say it. if it stops working i'll say it's opposite and i will not feel any compungz about saying it's opposite because i don't feel anything in the first place. >> reporter: switching gears is exactly what president trump had to do after his press conference with vladimir putin, attempting to walk back this remark on election interference. >> my people came to me, dan coats came to me and some others. they said they think it's russia. i have president putin, he just said it's not russia. i will say this, i don't see any reason why it would be. >> in a key sentence in my
remarks i said the word would instead of wouldn't. the sentence should have been, "i don't see any reason why i wouldn't or why it wouldn't be russia." >> seeing it from his perspective doesn't make a distinction between what's true and what's false. his only distinction is what will work and what will not work. >> reporter: and what happens when he's challenged with facts? what does he do? >> he has a genius, you know, perverse genius for turning any situation into something that is evidence of his brilliance. even if it's not true. >> wow, we have a lot to talk about. gloria, tony, when we come back i'm going to ask both of you could donald trump have been a success without the lies? ♪ it is such a good time to kiss ♪
visit comcastspotlight.com today. donald trump has a strategy of ignoring the truth. first in business and now as president. because it doesn't suit his narrative. the truth gets in the way -- in his way, and lying is his main mo to get what he wants. let's discuss now with gloria borger and tony schwartz. glor you, great reporting but i want to start with tony because he co-wrote "the art of the deal." he really wrote the art of the deal. could he have been as successful or the appearnce of being as successful as people think he is without lying? >> well, he's the product of his own marketing, so i would say, no, he actually couldn't have
been as remotely as successful starting, for example, with the success he had getting on the forbes 500 list when he was worth almost nothing, and he managed to trump it up and convince them it was $10 million or $20 million or $100 million. >> himself or pretending to be somebody else -- >> no, he would pretend to harangue the reporters gathering that information. >> financial analysts tell me there's no evidence he's a billionaire. >> rick, it seems as ehe's disappeared off the face of the earth, but he once said to me donald is not worth anything. it's a complete joke. it's a house of cards. >> gloria, what about in politics? he didn't lie the way he does do you think he would have been able to survive the multiple
scandals so far? >> he's a brander. he brands himself, and as tony pointed out in the piece quite astutely i think, with donald trump it's not about true or false. it's about will this work for me or won't this work for me? so in a campaign he will do what works for him. and if it doesn't work for him anymore he will turn around and do something else. and that's what we saw in helsinki, for example. and i think this is the way he markets himself. and by the way, what he does is exploit the fact that his supporters hate the media, don't trust the media. you know, three quarters of republicans trust trump more than the media. so he doesn't care. he doesn't care because he'll say believe me because you don't trust those guys, you trust me more and it works. >> yeah, and some actually believe him. you know, as i say -- as i've been saying since the election or during the election that new
yorkers knew, people around the country didn't necessarily know. because they saw him as the apprentice, right? and so maybe that works, that thing you call truthful hyperbole, maybe it works in that instance. alpha male. >> yeah, he's president of the united states. it clearly works. but what i think is trump actually believes, and this is the totalitarian instinct in him, and it's very strong. trump actually believes if he says something over and over again no matter how totally outrageous it is, for example, and i would say this is the best example so far, yesterday the day before when he said what you're seeing is not true -- we just saw it repeated. what you're seeing is not true, that's prima facia insane. if you say it enough time, no
collusion, no collusion, that you could have collusion in living color, 360 degree and you still would have no argument to make. >> and gloria, some have said that they believe it, even legal minds that collusion, according to them, has already been proven with the meeting in trump tower and, you know, with the one with jared and donald trump, jr. i don't know if that's so, but legal folks have said that. there's so much out there that people i guess don't believe because of what the president and this administration have said about it. and if you look at the intensity of what's happening with him saying don't believe what you see or hear, why is it ramping up all of a sudden? >> well, look, i think he to a certain degree feels some of the walls closing in on him. he has the mueller investigation still going on. his attorneys are still talking to the special counsel about whether he's going to testify and talk about the question of lying, i think one of the
reasons his attorneys don't want him to testify is because they're worried about it, right? they're very worried about it. and i think his back is up against the wall. one of his most ardent loyalists, michael cohen, has now turned on him. there is a subpoena for the chief financial officer of the trump organization to talk to the southern district of new york. and i think that trump feels the need every day to gather his troops and to say do not believe this, there's no collusion, and again i'm not saying there is because i'm not bob mueller. but there is no collusion, don't believe this, the media are lying about this, and that is the way he keeps his supporters activated to a degree because he motivates them. >> go ahead, john. >> well, i think that in addition to what gloria said i agree with it.
there's something going on psychologically. and the media has it, the culture has it a resistance to talk about mental health, to talk about mental illness. and then you've got the gold water rule that says even professionals can't diagnose from afar. but what you can do is you can observe the behavior, and the behavior is the behavior of a man who decompensating, who is essentially falling apart. and he's falling apart in the sense that he is upping the most extreme behaviors. so when we try to understand why is he lying more, why is he tweeting more frequently, why is he saying more extreme things, all of these are function of what's going on inside him. which is i am used to controlling the narrative. i am not seeming to be able to do that. >> what does this say, though, gloria, about his supporters, the way he feels about the people who support him when he constantly lies to them or gives
them false hope and expectations? >> well, i don't think -- it's interesting, and i -- you know, i'm not psychologist. but i think after aa while if you tell a lie long enough you believe it's the truth. and i think that may be donald trump. and i think donald trump is very attach today his supporters. i've never seen a president reach out less to people who didn't vote for him than trump. normally presidents get elected, they try to unite the country. they say you didn't vote for me but please give me a shot. that is not what we've seen. we've seen donald trump instead try to consolidate the base even more. and he's a politician. he doesn't want to lose the congress. he doesn't want to lose the presidency if he runs for re-election, and they are devoted to him and he knows it and he's not going to lose them, and this works for him. and setting up enemies always works in politics. and so the press is the enemy,
the democrats are the enemy, you name it. and that's what he does. and it works. >> i've got to go quickly. tony? >> i think you asked the question what does it say about his supporters. it says something about how aggrieved and how empty -- >> you lie to the people you care about. >> there's no one who he cares about more than his supporters. they are america's losers. >> why do you say that? >> because they're people without power, without success, without all the things he values most they have least. >> i thought you were going to say they're a means to an end. >> they are absolutely a means to the end. when we come back the big question. will truth in america survive donald trump's presidency?
we knew helping our communities was important then. and we know it's even more important today. so we're stepping up to volunteer more and donate over a million dollars every day. so our communities can be even stronger. it's a new day at wells fargo. but it's a lot like our first day.

all of president trump's lies in office, all of 2,000 of them so far. damaging our democracy, and can we ever get back to where we were? douglas brinkly, kirsten powers and carlos lozata. listen, the president is lying more often than ever, and the lies seem to be more bold. they seem to be boulder than ever. is the public desensitized to all of his lies? >> i don't think they're desensitized. they let him get away with too much. collectively to mean people didn't read his character directly. donald trump lies like breathing. he doesn't know what the truth is. but i think he's kind of an odious aberration in american politics. he's had momentum, he's shocked our system, a product of social
media environment in changing television media dynamkz. but the idea we're going to have more donald trumps yet to come doesn't seem likely to me. i think what's hurting, don, is that the united states, we're the beacon of light that the world looks up to us and now we're being laughed otat all over the globe, that we produced this caricature of a president. i see his continuing lying as a president that's unraveling right now. >> you wrote an article whether truth can survive this presidency, and you explore this idea of what you call truth decay. tell us about that. >> yes, people talk about the death of truth, whether we leave in a post. truth environment. it's probably more productive to think about ways in which truth is decaying or eroding. more than really post-truth, we may be in a post-shame sort of environment where the consequences of lying are vastly
diminished. and that's not quite sort of the death of truth. but i think it's just as insidious because when there are no consequences to lying accountability is diminished as well. and that's really what's going on with the president's sort of torrent of falsehoods is that he's looking for ways to not be held accountable. if you can't agree on what's truly happened, then how can you decide if your leader is doing a good job. and if you can't decide they're doing a good job, then what kind of democracy do you have left? >> studies show it's very difficult for people to tell lies from the truth. the brain first has to accept the lie as a truth and then make a judgment to discard it as false. the first part is natural to the brain. the second part can be disrupted. so people can end up believing the lie. so how do journalists and thinkers overcome that? >> well, i think it's important
to keep calling it out and keep making it clear when something isn't true, and i think it's important to stay outraged. so a lot of times i see people rolling their eyes and sort of saying oh, that's just trump being hyperbolic when in fact he's lying about something. so i think it's important to continue to say that and not get lulled into this idea that this is normal. i think one of the problems like you said, people believe it and then they repeat it. oftentimes when you're trying to have a conversation perhaps on your show or another show and you're talking to somebody who is just, they're not actually having debate. they're not actually talking about facts, they're just saying things that aren't true, jow spend your entire time -- >> you know how frustrating that is for me. you've been here when we've had some of those arguments. that's why this whole theory of people have to believe the lie first. it has to be true and then you have to sort of think about it and say, okay, that's not real, and that part as i said can be
disrupted. that's why i like to shut it down right as it's happening or fact check people in realtime before they continue on with the lie. and i think that's important to do. people get upset and say, oh, well you're shutting down my right to speak. no, you're lying to people and i understand the process of repeating and people will believe it. >> i recommend a book called "on tyranny" by timothy snider. they try to destroy truth, and they don't want there to be any truth. they want everybody to be fighting with each other and turning against each other and eventually tuning out because they get to this point where they say this is too much spectacle. this is what putin does. there's too much spectacle, and we're going to get mad at each other and stop expecting anything from the government. that's what trump is doing. >> it's cleary a strategy.
>> yeah, i think it's wrong to think he's too dumb, which i hear people saying. he's too dumb to do that. i think he understands what he's doing. it's true he has a distorted reality but i also think he knows the things he can say and it doesn't matter. >> she outlines a pattern where trump uses to gaslight america. step one, stake a claim on a fringe issue, step two advance and deny which is what trump does when he says things people are saying. and step three, create suspense, and step four discredit the apopants. step five, declare a victory. so if we can outline a pattern, identify what the president is doing, why cent we stop it? >> because he keeps doing it. he understands the power of repetition very much.
you know, if you keep saying that you won the biggest electoral landslide in decades, if you keep saying that the tax cut was the biggest tax cut in history, that is going to stick eventually with some people. especially if the falsehood is in keeping with someone's pre-existing political believes. if you're inclined for instance to believe that immigrants have a detrimental impact on the american economy or american society, then you might be inclined to believe it when the president says that, you know, millions of them voted illegally in the election, even though there's no evidence to that effect. so i think he understands the kind of rhythm of how he keeps doing this. what's also important in this context, remember, is that affirming, accepting or even defending trump's falsehoods is not necessarily about conviction of -- in that fact. it's about allegiance. it's about standing by your guy.
and that's the quality trump prizes above all else which is loyalty. >> and i've been watching that happen for the last three years. i think it's astute you said that. i think it's fair to say this presidency is a great experiment as well. the question is and i want to ask my historian douglas brinkly can we survive it.

survive. >> yes, the presence is not uniquely oppressive and the country has gone through such horrific things, and john meacham has a bookt out about "perilous times. "and i have three kids can in school, and everybody knows that nobody cares that george this like george orwell that two plus two is five. because two plus two is four. and i have december 1941's pearl harbor and facts matter. if you think that they don't t matter, you won't get far in the 21st century. we are in a rut, and we have broketen washington politics. it is not about barack obama being just a beacon of light, but people like john mccain and mitt romney were to have a good match with obama. trump has just been a nightmare and the problem is that the republican s a republicans are not showing courage standing up to somebody
who is a serial liar and somebody who no kid in america can look up to and aspire to be. >> yeah. i want you to the listen to this clip from president obama last week talking about politicians and lying. >> unfortunately too much of politics today seems to reject the very concept of objective truth. people just make stuff up. they just make stuff up. we see the uter loss of shame of the political leaders who are caught in a lie and they double down and lie some more. >> this is the thing, carlos. you heard what the former president said, and in your piece, you talk about shame and the role that plays with people, and, but more importantly, you also talk about, you said that we are no more post racial than we are post truth than we were under obama. that is the quote up there. and talk to me about that, and
tell me what you mean by that? >> well, at the outset of the obama president si, there wcy t a lot of optimism with striking a blow to racial, and being post racial is a myth. america is quite racial as it turns out. i do think that, you know, speaking of the death of truth or being post truth maybe premature and not to undercut the seriousness of what is going on, and the truth, and fact-based information is vital in many other arenas in life, and in politics is where it is really being degraded. >> yes. >> and kirsten, a short time here, and what does it say about us, meaning all of us, as americans, that someone who can appeal to the lowest common denominator can have, can become
the president of the united states? >> i don't think it says anything writ large about the united states. i do think it says something about people who are tribal and want to believe whatever the leader they support says, but i don't know if it is an indictment of the entire country, and i would say that i am a little bit more al r larmed than carlos is. i think that the fact that it is happening in politics is probably pretty critical, because this is where we shape the policies and how somebody like donald trump gets re-elected if this continues. so i think that i do think that it is important to be outrage and concerned, and if people are looking for the practical thingses to do, look for the first thing that authoritarian leaders do is to go after the media media. >> and it is important the vote and not just get upset. >> yes. vote. >> thank you, douglas, kirsten
and carlos. we will be right back. the day after chemo shouldn't mean going back to the doctor just for a shot. with neulasta onpro patients get their day back to be with family, or just to sleep in. strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. in a key study neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the day after chemo and is used by most patients today. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to
it or neupogen (filgrastim). an incomplete dose could increase infection risk. ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems allergic reactions, kidney injuries and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. pay no more than $25 per dose with copay card. we have one to two fires a day and when you respond together and you put your lives on the line, you do have to surround yourself with experts. and for us the expert in gas and electric is pg&e. we run about 2,500/2,800 fire calls a year and on almost every one of those calls
pg&e is responding to that call as well. and so when we show up to a fire and pg&e shows up with us it makes a tremendous team during a moment of crisis. i rely on them, the firefighters in this department rely on them, and so we have to practice safety everyday. utilizing pg&e's talent and expertise in that area trains our firefighters on the gas or electric aspect of a fire and when we have an emergency situation we are going to be much more skilled and prepared to mitigate that emergency for all concerned. the things we do every single day that puts ourselves in harm's way, and to have a partner that is so skilled at what they do is indispensable, and i couldn't ask for a better partner. a book that you're ready to share with the world? get published now, call for your free publisher kit today!

hotels so why not grab a telescope at night and take advantage of the sky and if you look at the nemo. i would find that. many people are interested in a different type of tourism this is no longer enough just to go and look at places they want to go deeper and have a real experience. of the raw tourist to travel just to practice astronomy the rest of the trip is extra as if. the iberian peninsula offers the best conditions for observation. in addition to its geographic location and climate with a large number of clear nights throughout the year it is sparsely populated in many regions on the one of the earth and the world in central and northern europe the settled areas are quite scattered about there are lots of homes and small residential areas between the cities where the and the cities are compact and then there are a lot of unpopulated rural areas between them that means we have super dark skies
and visitors to spain are looking for these very dark very clear skies that have been lost in their own countries. spain's privilege situation did not go unnoticed by the great powers of the twentieth century who built their astronomical complexes here. these antenna has played a central role in the moon landing. nasa set them up in robledo d.h. of ala in the early one nine hundred sixty s. they're part of the u.s. agency satellite monitoring and space projects complex. in the one nine hundred seventy s. domes changed the landscape of sierra de last in amaria in southeastern spain at over two thousand meters altitude continental europe and largest observatory was
built here the german spanish astronomical center at color alto. helming came to spain in the one nine hundred seventy s. today he is one of the few german engineers who work here he knows the center's history very well. and it's just you know yon hot in the one nine hundred sixty s. germany was interested in investing more in astronomy which is why they looked for a location for a new astronomical center with the little they looked in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere and in the northern hemisphere they looked in france italy greece and spain the word from the best place was here in the south of spain in al mariya that you didn't find in other media in japan. one line of research at the center is devoted to creating innovative instruments and example
is carmen s. prime minister for a reactor terminus was an idea that arose at a scientific meeting in two thousand and eight where eleven international institutions agreed to create a device that could do what had never been possible in science before detect planets outside our solar system which weicker earth could potentially support life with i would argue that what on earth is the model of. color alto is also exceptionally productive it's the european center that generates the highest number of scientific publications that's thanks to on again harle and her colleagues. from this room she monitors the telescopes in the center during the night they become the eyes of scientists all over the world. will begin in a thermal set about some astronomers come here themselves or we follow their
detailed instructions and carry out the research for them they tell us what to observe how long which filter which entrance lit what spectrum and so on but the. they ask and we have served at the end of the night we send them the data and then at their various research centers they examine the data and decide if we need to make changes or continue as is going to play at a time off in the. at the control center we meet on a pasquali this italian astronomer has traveled from heidelberg university to supervise her observation hours tonight. limited chad guy my research focuses on the formation of galaxies and to have a change over time to get us to count the what i'm doing now is. studying these galaxies which we call essential galaxies that have the possibility of growing and
merging with other galaxies are. increasing them less under mention over time we need the zero mean to the mass of the main sewer nicci that lengthy pull it back with the car let out the fundament that. p.m.s. any is essential for this this is the only way we can understand how styles aborning galaxies at different stages of development in the universe see it then revamp saw. the firmament is observed by brilliant scientists but also by thousands of amateur astronomers their contribution cannot be underestimated before i left. we professionals must form closer ties with amateur astronomers first because i'm convinced that they will contribute to the future of professional astronomy and second because a lot of science can be done with equipment that they already have. as
a boy when the wisconsin his car bio dreamed of becoming an astronomer and yet his professional life took him down other roads so instead for almost thirty years he has spent all his free time on astronomy. as amateurs we can work intensively with professional astronomers it's very exciting because instead of storing our work on our own computers we added to databases that others can use. he is prolific he publishes books writes for scientific journals and does research with international groups in recent years he helped discover a supernova with an italian team. that's a bit of a health element of a supernova is the most cataclysmic phenomenon in the universe since the big bang seeing it live being part of the co discovery of a supernova justifies all those hours all the time devoted to it although that's not the only reason to do it you do it because it's fun you enjoy it and the data
you gather night after night can be useful for other people that are going to tell a typical i said i'm going to put out a puzzle. that's how he cultivates his hobby he spends hours and hours interpreting data the times he used to sit outside and gaze into the night sky are long past. when you observe from a fixed spots like your house you have to have an observatory in place to avoid always setting it up and taking it down which is tedious. nowadays nonprofessional astronomers who are more serious about this can have equipment set up in a remote observatory and then they can work from home you know full well. amateur astronomers from other countries also choose to come to the iberian peninsula the one hundred and you have travelled from germany to fragonard sierra in the foothills of sierra madre now they've come with
a clear objective we will set up our new telescope and where world test. automatic. breaking off and therefore a tsunami for the crew of theirs is one of the last telescopes set up here for hosting a special way of renting a private observatory they chose this location after analyzing other destinations on other continents. this is the best place for installing robot telescope because it's very dark here the first point of the other part is a very good seeing here and you can reach but very fast especially from germany you just have to fly to. here very short so it's. a sound interrupts the interview the dome on the neighboring observatory starts moving the sun is setting and the building owner of this telescope wants to check
today's sky conditions from the heart of europe he directs operations by remote control as he watches us through his camera in a few weeks these astronomers will be able to do the same thing from their homes in munich of the generally we're making pictures of galaxies sometimes planetary nebula we are not really doing scientific stuff fly measurements for a light for supernova something like that that's only if we're not scientists in that way we're just doing our spare time we are you know amateur astronomers and just viking pretty pictures as you can see and we also have a look at the stars here to see it because the travelling is not possible anymore it's losing is too strong so we're going here to do. in germany alone there are thirty thousand amateur astronomers who have to travel outside their country to be
able to enjoy their hobby the same thing happens in other countries some of these aficionados have come to this astronomical complex. people come here for the climate and the sky is they mainly from northern europe we've got people from various nations from russia great britain france and belgium the u.s. company in america came here to build a telescope with us i mean we're going to search the moon telescope you. the initial forecasts were soon surpassed and a business was born with a certain grow mantic touch the images that they're now going to learn some years ago an extra month and we realized the sky was of incredible quality we would come with a telescope to look at the stars and it was great we invited friends and since jose luis had good connections in the astronomy scene he knew there was big demand for places to put up telescopes. so we thought maybe that was a good way to indulge our passion for astronomy and run
a business at the same time i mean it in a room with you. the hosting service has given them international prestige among astronomers the complex also offers accommodation and workshops. at night for the leading lights make their interests. between the gnarled oaks and the broad landscape the stars appear in dazzling brilliance. you think thought of them over there in this area but you can see about two thousand stars compared with the city where you can see only thirty or forty maybe fifty stars maximum yet. to learn more about stars we attend an astronomy session. for st louis skin younus the soul of this project
places stars within the context of the universe. is that was me that is everything we're seeing here is expanding the universe is huge it's fourteen billion years old and still expanding is we live in a large super city in the milky way with over four hundred billion stars on that but that it does mean we get at this thing yes. the numbers are astonishing the explanations show how important astronomy has always been for humans. as the thought what if i'm going to be all our grandparents knew and identified as stars speak of the brightest star in the constellation virgo that means we spike and when it appeared in the east they knew it was time to sew or harvest astronomy was essential for daily life but today environmentalists pollution and all our technology have completely disconnected us and more than they can put up of them.
the stars have gone out in the eyes of many. who live in the developed world. this is what the planet looks like at night artificial light illuminates large surfaces of the northern hemisphere. is the largest dam in western europe. the waters of the glory on a river serve as the boundary between spain and portugal. the portuguese were the pioneers in promoting astro tourism. the idea arose in two thousand and eight as part of creating a sustainable program for the ok region to offer something unique in terms of
nature and resources for tourism we thought of something no one had considered before the sky. it's now a starlight tourist destination certified by the starlight foundation in two thousand and eleven we were the first destination in the world to obtain the certification. since then al qaeda has become a must visit destination for astral truism visitors fall into two groups. meantime just along some of those so essentially there is the amateur astronomers who love observing the sky and then there's a large increase in families many children hear about the night sky at school but they can't see the constellations in the cities where they live. so they come here with their parents to experience the dark skies together you know even the show that's not. this megalithic monument the
cromlech of chess was moved near months of us when the dam was built it's the setting for summer star parties and with face of the familiar. it's a party for the whole family the activities are suitable for both children and adults you can observe the sun there's a workshop for adults and children about the solar system and right now we've got a yoga session here behind us. the presence of hundreds of people lends a special symbolism to this place amid five thousand year old stones it's a unique place to connect with the universe. night force and sheltered by the convent double rather it's time to learn more about astronomy. we go claro the official astro photographer here shares his interest in the science of astronomy from a different perspective photographing space by standing firmly on the earth.
we want space to be more than just the telescope photographs disseminated by nasa and the european southern observatory. the blizzard. of when people look at these images they can't identify with them because they have no point of reference to know where they are. reported the news so. this what social move is that we want them to be able to connect to the sky and the earth and find relevance and astronomy. then there is the richness of the landscape of all caver with a crumb left and other elements of what it has to offer. it's very important to relay this message to promote ourselves. to be with the single city of the food the the season was for us and.
at midnight it's time to contemplate the firmament some with the help of more or less advanced technology and many with the naked eye today with the new moon the universe looks blended. the milky way passes overhead. it's easy to identify constellations like the big dipper c.v.s. or cassiopeia. and stars that shine with their own. such as vega or dana. in. the sky here affords excellent visibility and average of two hundred eighty six nights a year. the degree of darkness in the three thousand square kilometer region ranges
from twenty one point two to twenty one point eight that's the equivalent of rural skies to true dark sky site. and those dark skies attract thousands of people interested in astronomy. some areas offer multiple activities while others are specialized this is the case at the astronomy center in the province of via delete the only center in the world to be considered a star park. like you know i was the best we didn't do astrophysics here but that is done at la palma in the canary islands a more professional observatories but we do receive school visits in the winter months with them we get tourist families and what we do is open up a little window of knowledge about the sky to them so they learn a bit more about what is up there in the sky they can look through telescopes with
the naked eye that is the whole course. after decades of experience publicizing information about astronomy. knows very well that this discipline requires scientific knowledge and something more. basic it is the rule out of trouble to talk about science you need a romantic view of the many of us then you have. i got of those we want people that are really lovely concepts in astronomy like that we come from the stars for example everything that exists that has substance comes from the starts with scientific concepts which are a bit inaccessible to many people it is important to present them with that sort of enticement as you share information. night phones everyone takes their position. the roof of the astronomy center slowly opens like
a curtain at a theater and the star show begins. and i was running for the moment though the rock constellations in the night sky that can be seen with the naked eye people really like discovering such a terrace and scorpio and the stories that go with the constellations. for example the ticket of the sci fi is king of ethiopia who married cassiopeia years ago. so that's greek mythology area it's a lovely way for people to understand and know more about the sky. they're going to tell me. for years the extremadura center for advanced technologies has been making films for planetary up. some are shown at the trujillo planetarium and others are distributed in spain and latin america. more than one hundred twenty thousand people have seen exploring the solar system
a fascinating journey from the sun to mars. played by send us and shows a series of scenarios that had never been seen before. the growth you know that believe. with scientific advisors from the canary islands institute of astrophysics this film enables viewers to see and understand the dawn of a comet or an asteroid collision el mundo an eel or the ringworld is another of their films now that attempts are being made to find intelligent life on other planets this production aims to explain what such a place might be like. making astronomy attractive and establishing it as a tourist activity are matters that concern the entire sector.
the hotel parador of craters in the province of our villa is hosting a course for astro tourism guides. everyone is committed to defending the dark sky regardless of participants profiles or backgrounds. rango the truth of i'm from toulouse in france i decided to take this course because i want to add it to my fifteen years of experience inter ism especially an eco tourism. thing with an affinity for it though in spain it is more developed than in france. we have techniques that could be developed but i know i'm going to be one of the first to import his knowledge about astro tourism into france. but he made oath in part that it is the. authorities mindful of. professionals from the most renowned places also come here to specialize they all see astro two or ism as an opportunity. there are two very modern ideas the canary islands are considered
the world leader in astro tourism matters and the truth is we're very lucky in the canary islands especially those of us born there we can't let this opportunity pass in a couple of the year or even for the experts practice makes perfect. for the market because there are two courses that differ only in the number of class hours it's very intensive because we go for twelve hours a day so we have time to cover everything. we spend the whole day in class and at night we do astronomy practice sessions but we're all very excited about it i mean . at midday the garden turns into an observatory it's time to observe and learn about our star the sun. these are the first solo telescopes that existed and the difference with this one is that it has a much higher resolution and this one has a point five armstrong filter which gets even looks more detail. so i don't look at
. all the telescopes are pointed at the sun. tourism professionals have a clear goal in mind. to go my seventy think linus' might be more looking for over twenty five years explaining the natural environment in the sierra what drama in madrid we were doing night activities and started getting more and more interest in this guy so we started learning more about it and this is the best opportunity to continue learning. astrophotography is also popular and tonio company us is one of the first astro photographers in spain. this is the high point to now mature astronomy. you go from visual astronomy to looking through a telescope and end up doing photography. that possibly work leads you to do it
is wanting to see more because observation through a telescope is very limited and we need. the scientific content complements the to restrict content palko sanchez is the so-called father of the movement he was the first to bring astro to risen to the area. my wife and i built a hotel here in the sierra of great austin one thousand nine hundred four we are pioneers of what is called small hotels with charm and. sympathy the feat in the last i've always been an amateur astronomer then when i built the hotel one of the things i also did was set up a telescope in the hotel garden. the guests would come up and ask me can we have a look and so i explained what they were seeing in the sky. we built an extension and i built a dome on the roof a more professional observatory looked me in the hotel cast will come up with me and i told them all about astronomy. at one point i realized it was true that we
are very privileged in the sky we have here and they say. look we believe. nature livestock the mountains and hunting with the attractions the sierra of credos was known for then. pack of sanchez dared to innovate. now it's the dark sky that draws tourists. the demand was surprising. really here people came here and asked if i hear this is a very good place to see stars who can show them to me. you know when we realized there was nobody who could do it bob is the only one here because i had my observatory and my telescope. once the potential was recognised professional training picked up. el milano crayolas was the first astronomical hotel in
mainland spain astro tourism is already showing profits more of the line with the over half the nights of a year we've got guests who come to observe the stars yeah what's more everyone leaves happy and everyone says it's fantastic i've got to come back again i'm going to start reading about this stuff because it's really fascinating that isn't this. the have a lumber a astrophysical observateur he is the most recent professional observatory built in western europe. here in the province of taylor well they are working on an ambitious international project making a three dimensional detailed map of the cosmos. several kilometers away the same promoter the aragon center for studies of the physics of the cosmos has built galactica a center for publicizing and practicing astronomy. this project designed
exclusively to cater to astro tourism expects to receive twenty four thousand visitors a year. other sites offer more they open up the interior of their professional observatories to visitors in an maria the friends association of color alto defends that view this organization. it was created in twenty thirteen during tough economic times you know if this if it were all it would be after germany and spain signed the agreement for the observatory that they were trustee cuts in budgets we start initially there was talk that the observatory might disappear that it might close. the file. at first few people could imagine what the white domes and special sky conditions of
colorado were good for scientific tourism is now an important asset. most interest of progress to the reason because it was the most honest with held three of these asteroid tourism meetings in recent years is more need to try to open up the market in this area because there wasn't much to offer with you can. we realized that when people came up to cull out and set up amateur telescopes at night they were stunned they had no idea of the quality of the sky they had. to warn the german spanish astronomical center in collaboration with the astro tourism company as a moot has started to offer an exclusive astronomical experience it allows visitors to feel they are an astronomer for a night i thought meant that at present there is no professional observatory in europe where a person can look through a telescope more than
a meter in diameter with an eyepiece this activity is exclusive to car art or if it's offered nowhere else in the world. and anyone who does it will have an experience that they'll remember for the rest of their life by. whatever other things we're. once a month this telescope which is one point twenty three meters in diameter is available for scientific tourism activity. if that is the name we have the ability to remove the scientific operators from the telescope and replace it with an eyepiece. at that. then our visitors can personally observe the marvels of the sky with their. i seen from here in colorado. and. through everything about it like with our main activity is research for science so the number of nights we can devote to this activity is certainly limited but it's something we're committed to. we're going to keep it going and there are
circumstances a law will expand and enhance it. in the evening the experience begins you know what i want to see what you see through a telescope at the false range of lenses you have i've heard the resolution is so high you can see the moons of your anus that's what i want to see you know that all of. the special guests are invited into the scientists work spaces. and. we think this activity is more appropriate for people who have already had some previous experience with telescopes because if you have never looked through a telescope before and looked through this one for the first time and call never want to look through any other want to know if i could meet up with them about. as darkness falls the dome opens.
in one thousand nine hundred seventy five this telescope manufactured in germany was the first telescope to go operational at colorado. tonight is one of the ten thousand nights it has been used to observe the firmament . it has two purposes the scientific one which is usually operated from the control room in colorado or by remote control from granada and germany. and the second one for astro tourism activities. on those occasions it's operated from the control desk. for the session leader adjusting the eyepiece is not always easy the eyepiece has to be at an accessible height and depending on which celestial body the telescope is aimed at that can be difficult a movable platform helps. as
some people take turns looking through the telescope others enjoy the spectacle offered by the sky as seen with the naked eye. for two hours observations are made from the planets in our solar system on out into deep space. that at that. time is that they have to find out oh i've been an amateur astronomer since i was fifteen sixteen but the reflect all reflected telescopes i've use do not have the resolution this one has today i've seen a planetary nebula and that is far from what your average amateur astronomer can aspire to see the bits they wanted out of a unique extraordinary experience it's really a privilege to be here a little bit of that might encourage everyone to come and see what kind of work they do here and what astronomy has to offer of all the top level science being
done here is that with the best says that the end of. the universe has existed far longer than we humans have and it will continue long after we disappear. many people don't give that a second thought still an increasing number are looking for a connection to something greater something that makes their own existence seem so small and yet at the same time makes them feel part of an immense vastness. it's enough to just look up this is our legacy. infinite what you see.

really enjoyed it. afterwards i became a diplomat and often dealt with judaism and israel even though i was never actually stationed there. in twenty fourteen i was asked to be the special representative of the german foreign office for relations with jewish organizations and anti semitism issues. that i was happy to accept and that position brought me where i am today could. you mention travelling to israel when you were young as a musician was that a key experience for you. yes it was a very special. i was eighteen and it hit me that it only took four hours in a plane to reach a different continent. we were doing an orchestra exchange so we went to the music conservatory in haifa. there we rehearsed beethoven the same way we did in darmstadt. i realized there were many like minded people in israel who were also
interested in culture. but the country is also very different more oriental and fascinating because it has so many other external influences. that caught my interest early on and i made up my mind that this was a country worth learning more about. you stood up for the jewish cause on many occasions what's your motivation. my motivation is the fact that jewish people have met me with so much kindness even friendship. at first i couldn't even understand why anti semitism even existed why these people are being attacked simply because of their religion or their affiliations. it made me wonder and i decided it was something i couldn't just let go i wanted to do something about it.
how do your non jewish friends see your special relationship to judaism in the jewish world. have there been a strange ment's due to the long history of anti semitic cliches. or have you experienced careless remarks that reveal old cliches. now and again i'll notice that people in my private circle voiced jewish prejudices or so called secondary anti semitism that clearly refers to how germany's past is being dealt with. statements like the jews shouldn't be surprised if they're attacked here in europe or the way israel treats palestine is no different from how nazis treated jews in the one nine hundred forty s. . opinions like these are clearly anti semitic and i have experienced them before. but i've never been personally attacked for combating anti semitism. when you assumed office you said your biggest worry
was rising at the semitism at the center of society what other examples show things are indeed shifting. there are these century old images and documents that are constantly being dug up jews and money jewish influence these widespread terrible anti semitic images keep reappearing. and then there's how people deal with our nazi past i think confronting it has made our country strong because it made us critical. but when people like right wing populist alexander galland trivialize the issue by saying things like the twelve years of nazi rule were just a speck of bird poop in german history and worries me this is the kind of environment in which anti semitic sentiments thrive.
does that also show that anti-semitic lines have become quote unquote more normal or commonplace the technical university in berlin just published a study that shows that anti semitism and anti semitic attitudes are practically exploding online. yes i read that study too it worries me a lot and in my opinion anti semitism has always been present in germany. but it wasn't as blatant as it is now. that's new and it's strongly related to how the internet and social media have contributed to disinhibiting users and also worries me to observe how this virtual world is becoming more and more like our real world . and the very negative impact it has on our personal behavior. and by the way this isn't only the case for anti semitism it's also affected issues like racism homophobia etc. concerning the internet where do you think your tasks lie in your new position. that we need to
ensure that the network inform untacked past in germany last year is actually applied. so when anti semitic and racist content is posted it is truly deleted and the internet providers are held accountable to do so. on the other side we need to raise awareness. so that people who find anti semitic content online report it there needs to be an active response in the police criminal statistics released by the your theory of ministry where your positioned indicate that ninety percent of the perpetrators of anti-semitic attacks are still extreme right wingers are these statistics wrong. i've advocated within my ministry and publicly for taking a closer look at those statistics that's completely normal they were published in
two thousand and one but in two thousand and eighteen i think it's time to re-evaluate their criteria it's indeed astounding that over ninety percent of the anti semitic crimes recorded were ascribed to the right. let me ask jewish people they experience it differently especially when it comes to physical attacks. in these cases they note more anti semitism enacted by muslim people. so i think we need to take the threat jewish people perceive seriously and revisit the statistics. that the voice. of the research and information office riaz in berlin calculated that attacks last year rose by sixty percent in comparison to the year before a large part of these took place in berlin has the german capital become a no go area for jewish people. is
a special case because surveillance works better here than elsewhere. here we have the realities office you mentioned that victims can turn to. other cities don't have that yet. that's one reason why we find so many reported incidents. but of course it's also a city with many jewish institutions jewish restaurants and so on. so the threat might be larger here but i wouldn't consider the entire city a no go area. you pointed out earlier there is also muslim anti semitism. do you think that the numbers of these attacks are also risen. with. that first of all i'd say the term muslim anti semitism is wrong because it establishes a false connection between the islamic religion and anti semitism. and that's not the case. about anti semitism perpetrated by muslim people is indeed
a growing problem and a challenge we need to face. is specially in light of the twenty fifteen refugee crisis. here we're dealing with people who were socialized in countries where anti-semitism was part of everyday life it was almost state doctrine. now an immense integration task lies ahead of us. but i must stand these people didn't come here because they wanted to spread anti semitism but because they feared for their lives and that's why we are offering them protection. how do we deal with this large number of people who as you say inherited jewish prejudice. we need to inform them we need to show them that whoever lives here needs to stick to our rules and our values that includes respecting jewish people the same as women who can dress how they like. and we need to signify whoever wants to succeed in this
society must understand our history our sensitivity when it comes to anti semitism and when that is violated we are allowed to show zero tolerance and must use the full force of our law with it so that. we have on how about an obligatory visit to a concentration camp memorial. that could be an option if it is well prepared but simply forcing people to visit isn't enough tours of that kind can be very insightful if they're prepared and discussed properly that the memorial directors i've spoken with have told me that muslim visitors are just as taken aback as any other visitor christian or atheist if it's done right it can produce very good results with it. to conclude our talk i wanted to ask you something that saddens me personally whenever i drive by. the holocaust was seventy years ago but
jewish institutions still need police protection i find that shameful do you. yes i find it worrying and also shameful that's unacceptable we can't get used to seeing police cars stationed in front of jewish buildings i want to do everything in my power to end this situation soon. by that. i'd like to make myself and my position redundant as quickly as possible but that won't be soon. that brings us to our last three sentences i'll start a line and i'd ask you to finish it the most important goal of my work is. to raise awareness for anti-semitism in germany to make it visible and to generate sympathy for jewish life in germany. that. when i play violin with my
jewish friends i. have fun and enjoy it. i am vision germany as that's a country that is tolerant aware of its diversity and in which we can look forward to the future. klein thank you for joining us today thank you. the dawn of modern design nico solution checks out both those i'll get to tuning into song and orders and get in the mood for the art schools highly anticipated hundredth anniversary i want to find out more about bouncers legacy and. she takes a journey back in time in the birthplace of revolutionary ideas oh some tension. next to the. center of the conflict zone jim

she says the muslim does not dishonor the memory of the dictator's opponents an avowed franco supporter she is organizing protests nightly or moment before no one has ever built such an enormous monument that also almost the enemy has made the dead opponents of the when and where would you ever find more reconciliation than that. the protest in the valley of the fallen has drawn thousands who are here to honor the dictator's memory they chant long live spain and franco franco. some are carrying the flag of spain under franco giving fascist salutes others are more restrained they fear that old wounds might be reopened somewhat if the new government is bringing on brands to our society instead of solving real problems the problems facing people who are out of work or retired just stirring up the dust. and.

america's credibility and erodes our relationship with nato and allies and sets back a path toward a more stable region and peaceful non-eye nucleanonnuclear future. another round as noted by out president will go into effect in november that will target the oil sector and central bank. this is just getting started. steve: it did at midnight. griff, thank you very much. so in may the president took us out of the iran nuke deal. now this morning the remaining parties to the iran deal, russia, china, the united kingdom, france, germany and the eu have all announced that they will continue to work to keep the financial channels with iran open. and they also hope to keep the exports and import of oil and gas. however, as brian pointed out a little while ago, eventually they are going to have to choose. you want to stand with the iranians? or do you want to stand with the united states of america? so, right now, with those people trying to make that choice are looking for, they
are looking for loopholes. ainsley: this is a different administration. the past administration was giving them money, billions of dollars. a lot of that money was used to you support terrorist organizations and mike huckabee talks about the difference in this administration and how dangerous the iranian leader is. >> they are a rogue regime. they have killed americans. they have kidnapped americans. they have sponsored terrorism around the world. and it's time for them to be accountable for that and pay the price. unless the regime is changed, the behavior won't change. but the proper avenue to see that change is not for the u.s. to go in and intervene and overthrow that government. it's for the people to do it. they almost did it in 2009. the green movement walls an uprising. they were looking for just a little bit of encouragement for the united states and president obama was absolutely stone-cold silent, didn't say a word as 20-year-old women were bleeding in the street from gunshot wounds to the head. that's why this regime is
embolden. brian: there's a couple of things, too. as griff mentioned in november it gets worse because we start going on their main source income. we go after their oil. the output is going to be put in half. why will make it up between russia, saudi arabia and us. we will keep the market flooded so the price of gas stays low. what's happening as late as over the weekend the uprisings are taking place not because of america or organization. these are farmers and shop keepers and taxi drivers are saying we hate the life that we have. and beginning to say that we are no longer blaming the u.s., the great satan. they are not buying it they are beginning to blame their own government. as they scrammibl scramble to bd on the market. last week they tried to take $350 million out of their bank in hamburg, germany and the central bank of germany said no, we are not allowing that. these are the type of things to squeeze a regime to hold
steve: because is he a conservative out in hollywood, he has been viciously attacked. he has lost a lot of work because he is a conservative. but, nonetheless, got to stand up for what he believes. and he says i'm an immigrant but i think we need the president's wall. brian: one of the founding mothers of the anti-trump movement is rosie o'donnell. she is one the first people that's not liked the president when he was just hosting the apprentice. she said he would never win and become president. now she has all these theories president's popularity is because of the russians. she actually went out and said one of the reasons he gets big crowds is because he pays them. look at the ads. he pays them like we do extras in movies. that's a lot of money. steve: rosy loaded up a bus and took 06 performers down to the white house. lafayette square across from the white house. essentially they wanted to raise their voices against the president of the united states he's depicted by
cartoon character there. here's the problem the president is about 250 miles away in bedminster, new jersey, so he missed the show. ainsley: is he closer to have the actual broadway performances in new york than there. steve: they were singing in protest but the songs were beautiful songs. they are broadway songs. listen. ♪ climb every mountain ♪ can you feel a brand new day ♪ can you feel a ♪ brand new day. brian: even if you life church the president, have you got to say. ainsley: i like that protest. brian: normally you have to pay $500 to protest. ainsley: stand in front of the white house and get the broadway production.
they sang le mis and sound of music. steve: the stongs were beautiful. nonetheless they were there to protest the president and rosie o'donnell doesn't like him. >> should not be president. and i don't believe that he is a legitimate president. what he does is denigrate the most vulnerable. i think most of america wants him to be out. >> you believe the actual outcome was rigged or just that there were efforts? >> yes. yes. no, i do believe it was rigged. this man is like a joke. i believe that trump is loathed in america. that people are embarrassed and ashamed of who he is. that come election day, we are going to stand up at the polls and let him know. brian: go back to 2016 when she said there is no way he will ever win. okay. so she goes on to say that the reason why his popularity is going up, i guess she indicates are the russians. i gets russians are upping his popularity. people who voted for him are horrible people.
she can't get over it. steve: she kant because he is president. what do you think about their roadshow yesterday. let us know at friends@foxnews.com. tweet us or we are on facebook. ainsley: or sing us a little song. steve: can you feel a brand new day. ainsley: i love broadway. jillian, what did you think of that? jillian: i thought they were very talented. a lot more than me. get you caught up on the news we are following. starting with the search for mollie tibbets and her family is not losing hope for search for missing daughter. her daughter telling fox news new information where he thinks she could be. >> total speculation on my part. but i think that mollie is with someone that she knows, that is in over their head. the longer we go without finding mollie's body, the more hopeful we are that she is alive somewhere. jillian: the 20-year-old disappeared on july 18th after going for a jog. investigators haven't named any suspects. the reward for information leading to mollie is now

are pretty much off the entire summer or the entire period. steve: do you replace them? replace them for the summer and have to bring them back to have somebody else off? that's not fair to the worker you hired. steve: someone has has loved one who dies what do you give them. >> not one size fits all. three to four days if they need it. a little bit more if something really bothered. get their head back in the game and move on. steve: absolutely. have you worked your whole life to build this business and now you are looking at this. and it has the potential to de rail you, you say. >> yeah. it's going to de rail us. i always like to expand. i have grown from one single ice cream shop to a major company. it's scary now with all these new rules and regulations, what's next? are we going to pay people's rent? who knows what's going to happen? steve: where do you draw the line? >> yeah, where do you draw the line. steve: ultimately, should the government be in this
particular part of this particular issue? >> no. government should not get involved with this. this is not a simple situation. this is a very difficult thing. you have religion involved. you have people's mind set involved. there's a lot of different things that factor over here. the level of someone's employee is it a manager? is it a simple worker? you know, there are a lot of factors here. they are stepping in and saying you have to do this. that's not right. steve: if the governor signs it, you have got to give somebody three months off paid. >> do you know what's scary, too? -- steve: you go out of business? >> job if i will go out of business it will certainly hurt and cause me to cut back on some staff. it will cause me to probably raise prices so i can cover this bubble payroll. it's not right. steve: let's see what the governor does. thank you. >> thank you. steve: what do you think about that? email us at friends@foxnews.com. video unbelievable. the darr slam car slams into a w

>> thank you for having us. ainsley: tell us about this program it will sounds beautiful. >> we are partnering and going to them and say hey, community we can bring big equipment and machines in and knock down these abandoned building, dilapidated dangerous buildings frankly where some kids get raped and dragged into. that's what's happening in these neighborhoods. we knock down the buildings and clear the land make it safe. stop the gunshots and stop the murders and make the area beautiful. brian: we understand you knocked out will will will will will will will will will -- you have to clear a way. i call it clear table syndrome. whether you have a table at home with a bunch of junk off of it. clear it off once it's cleared people don't put stuff there anymore because they see it's a clear table. we clear the area so that future developers will see the beauty, which is what you will find in bright more. this is the only area of detroit that have rolling
hills. irish hilsz of detroit in the neighborhood. but, that was evident. once this nonstructural blight wa was cleared out then you could see the beauty of this landscape. ainsley: how did you come up with this idea. >> i had been in the construction business. my father used to make things that were beautiful. i said driving down in the city of detroit knock down these building, baltimore, 500 stlureckets abandoned. philadelphia, chicago. right? we can take this model across the united states and because of our unique background i think we can go ahead and do that. brian: you are not really getting much government support but this is the private sector. you are doing this. so by knocking things out in detroit, you think things are going to get better. you want to move on. >> and they have gotten better. brian: you are talking about moving on in chicago. >> we are thinking about chicago. baltimore is another area. looking at philadelphia. frankly, i get most of the big city urban mayors calling me say pulte will you come and help us knock down these buildings? this is a big problem in the
united states that people don't know about. it causes other problems whether it be crime or prostitution or drug activity. we are knocking it out. ainsley: what have you seen in your neighborhoods as far as what's happening in these buildings? you mentioned rape and people being pulled into them? >> there were in the area that bill talked about, we call it the north 14, 14 square blocks about 500 parcels. there were two drug houses that were operating because the overgrowth was so tall they could hide. once this was cleared out of and became evident what was going on, drug house is gone. it's funny, i said the economics of drugs obviously customers don't want to be seen. once you could see them, they left. have you got to start building again, too. am i right? it's about time. you want to build but you don't wants to price people out of these neighborhoods. >> we say step one is getting rid of everything and making it clear. so step 2 and 3 can happen. scott adams and i launched a website blight authority.

we did. and copy it all over america. brian: got it bill pulte thanks so much. referenced larry simmons great job. >> thank you. thank you. brian: new blight authority's web site is up running as you just heard go to friends@foxnews.com to find more. meanwhile. ainsley: what would do you if you ran into keith urban outside of a convenience store. have you got to hear the story of that photo right there. she thought he was homeless. brian: that's what these musicians are like. so much for brotherly love. candace owens. charlie kirk wanted to have breakfast. they get targeted by antifa in philadelphia.

you are a race traitor. whose race are we betraying because we don't think like them and subscribe to the political orthodoxy? saints ains did you fear for your safety. >> we were shocked. i turned to candace, look, let's stand our ground for a couple minutes here and see what this is all about. and the police did an unbelievable job. what they go through and the harassment. here are these protesters and that's probably a generous word to describe them harassing them. the police nonstop. and we just kind of stood there next thing i know i'm having water thrown at me. eggs thrown at me. we did not retaliate. we never. will that's not the right way to handle situations like this. we don't want to play the victim card. that's a very important thing. we want to warn the american people this is the new face of the democratic party. steve: candace, you were yelling, you love the police. >> i love the police. it was jarring to me to see this. the illustration of black men standing peacefully. these police officers were black standing peacefully as

steve: let me tell you something what would the news coverage be like today if a couple of people in trump hats, make america great again hats were hooting, yelling at people inside a restaurant and drove them out and then dumped water on them. >> black people imagine people in trump hats young black woman screepg at her because of her political affiliation. it would be wall-to-wall coverage and never enhear the end of it the argument we are hearing it's not illegal to discriminate not based off political. do you need a piece of legislation to tell you this is wrong, tell you harassing people based on who they support politically is wrong? that's who we have. considering rights for conservative thinkers. brian: look at kirstjen nielsen having dinner. look at sarah huckabee sanders having dinner. steven miller, they are outside protesting at his apartment this is getting

are the party of hate. brian: there is something about you articulating your message as a young fraternal woman that really scares the left. >> i have been tremendously effective. i have been showing the truth and tell the truth and telling them about real black history and showing them it was never the republicans that were racist in this country. always the democrats. democrats were behind the terrorism and the kkk. the democrats are behind antifa. ainsley: it's a shame y'all can't have breakfast in peace. you all stay safe. security now. >> something we are looking close at. sad day in america that two 20 somethings can't eat quietfully a cafe and harassed for conservative values. steve: can't have a plate of eggs and toast. that is a serious indictment of the political atmosphere right now. thank you for joining us and telling us your stories. >> thank you, guys. brian: right over charlie's left soldier is jillian poised to give us the news. >> we are following a story out of tennessee. go ahead and get you caught up on that. at least 20 people under

michael cohen as far as we can tell to contradict the president. ainsley: is there crime here or conspiracy? >> i don't know the answer to that but, unfortunately, a lot of these statutes are written to make it easier for the government to convict. if there was an agreement to receive dirt on hillary from the russians, even if the dirt never came, if those who agreed, at least one of them, took some step in furtherance of the agreement, then there is the potential crime for conspiracy. but it doesn't appear that the president was among them. brian: how would they even know that? >> well, that's for mueller either to drop or to figure out from asking people that were involved. brian: he hasn't talked to don jr. does that tell you the level of interest? >> i don't know. don jr. has testified under oath before congress that is theoretically secret. my guess is bob mueller knows that so he know what is don jr. told the congress and we don't know what he told them. my guess is he has been consistent throughout that his father didn't know about this until the news was
broken by the "new york times" a year later. steve: speaking of bob mueller it, sounds like the trump team is getting closer to a decision. john roberts just broke some of that information within the last couple of hours. >> i am -- my hat is off to rudy giuliani's patience because it seems like every time there is an agreement, bob mueller wants to move, i will use a kilmeade met for. bob mueller wants to move the goal post. i would basically say mr. president, we're not going to let you anywhere near bob mueller. he knows a lot more about this case. he has interviewed a lot more witnesses. when the government wants to talk to you, mr. president, it's to help the government. it's not to help you. i think rudy has been giving that very sound advice to the president but the president, because he said publicly so many times i want to tell my story. this is not the forum for him to tell his story. he should just tell the american people i want to tell the story burr the lawyers have advised me -- steve: if there is a subpoena. >> if there is a subpoena
let the court call it the president may have a very good argument the can't force his testimony. brian: bill clinton testified he got impeached anyway. judge: brian the testimony bill clinton gave which he agreed to do not only under oath in front of a camera undermined him radically. i don't think trump is going to make that mistake and rudy giuliani, very, very smart and experienced when it comes to these things is going to let that happen. all the best guys. ainsley: you too. steve: straight ahead, hollywood wants to do permanent damage to president trump's star on the walk of fame. what they just did overnight that could remove it from that particular street. brian: 50's the president i would remove it myself. ainsley: todd piro getting the pulse of the nation we will hear from him coming up next. ♪ r-o-c-k in the u.s.a.

these are the most biting sanctions ever imposed and in november they ratchet up to yet another level. anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the united states. i am asking for world peace, nothing less. steve: all right. what does this all mean now griff jenkins joins us live in our nation's capital. griff it, all started seven hours ago. >> that's right, good morning, guys. president rouhani is feeling that bite this morning as president trump effectively ends the obama era iran deal but saying he is open to negotiations. here is how rouhani reacted. >> what's the meaning of negotiations when you impose sanctions at the same time? it's like someone pulling a knife or stab a rival or enemy in the arm while at the same time claiming we should be talking and negotiating. >> rouhani also says is he willing to meet with the president without preconditions as long as he gets an apology and compensation. now european leaders broadly oppose the move as the president urged all nations
to join his maximum pressure campaign intended to change regime behavior. senator lindsey graham says this is a good start. >> donald trump is telling the world business community and the europe peeps, you cannot do business with this murder rus regime and have access to u.s. markets. over time this will work stay tough, president trump, you are on the right track. >> across the aisle the reaction from house minority leader nancy pelosi blasting the move calling it a counter productive action only diminishing america's international credibility. eroding our relationships with our nato and eu allies and sets back the path toward a more stable region and peaceful nonnuclear future. these are the first sanctions. they target precious metals in the auto sector. another round will come targeting the oil sector and central bank. steve: those will get even tougher. by the way president rouhani says the united states is owes iran an apology for
pulling out of the deal. ainsley: and wants them to pay them back. brian: wants apologies for everything they claim we have done ever back to the 1950s. so i'm sure the president is just jotting that down now putting it in a big card. steve: meanwhile, we know that come november one of the top issues on both sides going to be immigration. we're going to tell you about a democrat who is a governor candidate. his name is david garcia. he was at the net roots convention in new orleans. he said imagine no wall on the southern border of arizona. keep in mind, he is running for governor of arizona. brian: he wants to put that john lennon's imagine. i'm not sure if that's going to resonate with the people of arizona. it does resonate with the netroots crowd. he wants to run for president.
that's the rhetoric you heard borders are down and ice is out. ainsley: listen to what he said to that group. >> i want to just take a second and imagine. let's just imagine. [applause] just imagine no wall. no wall in southern arizona. [applause] steve: it's not the first time that he has suggested an anti-border agenda. he did not want the national guard involved in the family separation on our southern border. he has called for the replacement of ice with something which he describes as actually works. and he does not like the arizona border strike force, which he says in arizona is a ploy to use immigration as political tool to continue fear. that particular strike force was started by governor doocy to stop the crime from entering into mexico into arizona. and so far it has worked. brian: what i don't get is that the polls show that you might debate the wall or the fence, but nobody 8 out of
10 americans wants border security. why politically does he think that that is advantageous position let alone what he thinks. ainsley: talk to the people who live near the border where these individuals, many of them criminals come across the border into their property and they are fearful. brian: meanwhile, earlier today, we brought on charlie kirk and candace owens. together they decided to do this radical thing, have breakfast in philadelphia. the birthplace of america where they actually rang true with the declaration of the independence. they were spotted by antifa people also having breakfast. a whistle goes off. bull horns are out. next thing you know they were being harassed. thank goodness the cops were there. ainsley: that's video of them walking out of restaurant. they saw antifa sitting at the table sitting next to them. they are antifa. they are going to mind their business we are going to mind our business. they called their friends.
their friends gather outside with bull horns and whistles. can you see right in their faces. steve: charlie was doused with a bottle of water. police were right on the scene and they stood there to protect them and candace owens was here and she told us that she was actually yelling we love the police. we love the police. what did the two of them make of what was going on? listen to this. here they are on the couch. >> they want us to apologize or pack away from our support of the president. they are so frustrated at this president succeeding and they cannot reconcile with the fact that he is going to be the greatest president in modern american history. they see the economy booming and it makes them lose their mind. >> this is not going to change the effect of this administration. people are starting to recognize the left, the democrats are the party of hate. steve: they both agreed that there is a double standard when it comes to berating at breakfast conservatives and they suggested can you imagine if trump supporter in a maga, make america great again hat did that to
somebody. it would be. ainsley: all over the headlines, every newspaper and every other network. brian: if you are running against president trump and put obamacare back i get it you say i want to raise taxes, i feel the corporate tax was too steep, okay, final. but, when you run on i want to be a socialist. i want to abolishize. i want to have open borders. tell me where you are going to get one independent vote with that rush limbaugh brought that up yesterday. the democrats are basing this blue wave on one thing, trump hatred, the resistance. they are not basing on people's desire for democrat policies. now, isn't that kind of flimsy? they think -- they live in a world where everybody now hates trump. that's what they tell themselves. they live in a world where everybody now realizes the mistake they made voting for trump. but it isn't based on policy, no. it's based on trump hatred.
meanwhile, over here, the country has experienced an economic rebirth with people who haven't been working in 20 years finding jobs. after the democrats and their president specifically said the jobs weren't coming back. steve: it will be interesting to see. you know, there has been a prediction that there is going to be a blue wave sweeping one party into control perhaps with the house of representatives. today is primary day in a number of states. michigan, missouri, kansas, and washington. of course you will see all the primary coverage and results tonight right here on fox. brian: ohio is going to be on what everyone is focused on. one district where republicans have handled. they have had it for like 30 years. now they are in a virtual dead heat. the president over the weekend showed up to try to bolster the ohio candidate balderson. and we will see if that indeed works. ainsley: they are neck in neck. 1 percentage point. brian: against danny boy o'connor.
steve: it's 7:10 and jillian joins us with headlines. jillian: that's right. good morning. this story we have been following. one of the men found inside the filthy new mexico compound is expected in court today. he faces extradition to georgia as investigators try to locate his missing son. that man is one of five adults believed to be muslim extremists under arrest for child abuse. police busting them after receiving a tip about the missing little boy. they did not find that little boy but they did discover 11 starving children living at the compound. jeff sessions ripping the federal judge. he fully reinstated the daca program. in a statement the attorney general says the ruling comes after a quote number of decisions in which courts have improperly used judicial power to steer and join and modify and direct executive policy. sessions also says the trump administration will continue to aggressively defend their zero tolerance immigration policy. the white house plans to appeal the ruling.
president trump's star on the hollywood walk of fame could soon be a thing of the past. the west hollywood city council passing a resolution over night asking for its removal. the chamber of commerce will have the final say. the president's star has been vandalized several times, most recently by a man with a pick ax. he is now facing a felony charge. this woman's graduation fellows really bite. mackenzie nolan posing in graduation friend big tex alligator. she says tex is like a giant puppy, who often obeys commands for tweets. she even got him to stay still enough to balance her class ring on his snout. what do you think of that? brian: is that real? ainsley: she works with him on a daily basis. she feels comfortable. more power to her. steve: come on. brian: i want to try that

term, you are going to see a higher level of tension. clearly on the one hand we are ratcheting up the pressure on them they will look for ways in the region to ratchet up the pressure on us, although indirectly. when they talk about threats to the strait of hormuz they will not play that card. for one thing if they try to shut down the strait of hormuz. it means they cannot sell any of their oil. they can't do that number one. they also know we will not react militarily. president obama was prepared to threaten the use of force. he knows if they are threaten the use of force over the close of the strait of hormuz you know trump will. they provide anti-will missiles to the houthis. and fired a missile at saudi oil tanker. the third most important area for the movement of energy worldwide. i think you will see steps
like that. brian: you have u.s. bank notes. banned with gold, with precious metals and urge the european union to do the same thing. in the end, ambassador, true or not you will have to make a choice do you want to deal with america or iran. do you really think it's that cut and dry. >> it's a little bit more complicated than that because businesses for sure will say if the choice is doing business with america or iran. there is no choice you do it with america. but the iranian -- but the european governments are determined to try to keep the iranians in the nuclear deal. they goal to great lengts. they have passed regulations designed to protect their companies from secondary sanctions by the u.s. still, the companies basically will make their own choices. the governments can't tell them what to do. brian: even though you are a part of the obama administration. you weren't there when this deal was cut. you are for pulling out of this deal. ambassador, where would you go from here? what would do you next? >> look, i think the key right now is for us to try to maintain the pressure but
continue to say we want to talk to iran. one of the ways to build pressure on the iranians is to create the reality that, look, the purpose of pressure is not an end in itself. we are not trying to changes the regime. we are trying to change those behaviors that the iranian people themselves are demonstrating against. think about the fact you have placards in these demonstrations that say no to syria, no to lebanon. no to palestine, yes to us. invest news. don't invest in hezbollah. don't invest in bashar assad. on the one hand maintain the pressure but at the same time keep the door open and say we are willing to talk. i think one key thing here is the administration needs to have a consistent voice. it can't be sending mixed messages. when it sends mixed messages, it's going toned up creating problems for itself and its policy. brian: these are organic protest and say america is the great satan. they are happening in the rural areas with taxi
drivers, bazaar owners, farmers, so they can't even legitimately blame us. ambassador, i hope the administration calls on you because i just don't know anybody more knowledgeable. thanks so much for joining us. >> my pleasure. brian: all right. coming up straight ahead. rosie o'donnell talking to the media and the microphone to resist president trump. >> he should thought be president. i don't think he is a legitimate president. i think most of america wants him out. brian: this is crazy. is this how many on the left think like rosie o'donnell? will this be the winning argument for november? let's sing about it at home. and these guys are going to need a bigger boat. a close encounter with a shark next. i hate sharks. ♪ you'll ask... what bad shoulder? what headache?

peaceful protest with the broadway singers. >> yeah. ainsley: we saw what happened with candace and charlie when they were just having breakfast and see some antifa people and they walk that -- why can't people have differences? why is there so much hatred? why is that happening? >> i think people absolutely can have differences. as you pointed out the protest that rosie o'donnell was partaking it in they call it the kremlin annex which has been going on for weeks now headed by the hillary clinton grassroots project has been completely peaceful. about the communication of ideas and about showing president trump that there are a number of americans out there who are not a fan of him or his policies and will be showing up at the polls in november and also today if you are in ohio, and that special election vote for danny o'connor and again in 2020 to make sure there is a democrat back in the white house. what happened to candace owens and charlie kirk is terrible. antifa is a fringe movement that has nothing to do with
the democratic party whatsoever. and i'm sorry that that happened to them but what's going on at the white house as you said it seems like a good time. ainsley: kayleigh, a lot of people are asking why. why are people so angry and mad just because people support president trump? rush limbaugh said it has nothing to do with policy. the blue wave has nothing to do with policy. instead, hatred. what are your thoughts? >> that's exactly right. we saw this going back to 2016 when president trump just wanted to have a simple rally in chicago. that had to be shut down because of violence. that stop that from happening. we have seen it go forward to today with maxine waters calling for violent protests against republican us and trump allies and sarah sanders not being able to eat at restaurant and charlie kirk. the examples are immeasurable. what this comes down to, ainsley, when we lost we came up with an argument tea party rose to power and peacefully put their ideas forward.
when democrats lost there were calls to violence. calls to de legit might the president. instead of accepting the election results they say unhinge dollars things like rosie o'donnell has said. it's not going to win. it's not going to win in november. ainsley: jessica, rosie o'donnell said the mainstream media gave trump the pls because they were too slow in coming around to call him a liar and she said the media treated hillary clinton and president trump equally when they were running against each other. do you agree with that? >> i agree with bits and pieces of that we do know that the russians targeted 21 states here there are were a lot of the people beyond rosie o'donnell that do feel like they played a significant role in the election outcome. that's not some fringe attitude there. what she is saying about the media treatment of trump and hillary being equal, there are a lot of people who make a legitimate fact that the media harped on and on and on about hillary clinton's emails and let a lot of what was going on with president trump as we are seeing coming out now in the mueller probe for instance. we never saw tax returns that that was glossed over as we sat there with a camera anxiously awaiting
him to take the stage, hours and hours and hours of media coverage just waiting for him to come out and talk to people. hillary clinton certainly did not get that kind of treatment. i believe that he is a legitimate president. i also believe that if you look at his favorability ratings right now new gallup poll 58% approval with white people without a college degree but only 29% approval with the rest of america. and that's what rosie o'donnell is talking about. this is not a president that's popular. this is not a man that represents all of us. and we have got to show up at the polls and take that back. she is talking about voting. that's a get out the vote message. ainsley: i know you said rossy is not the spokesperson for your party there are a lot of people already elected officials that have the same messages. you have alexandria ocasio-cortez, you have elizabeth warren. they are saying a lot of the same things. >> they are definitely saying get out to vote. ainsley: kayleigh, let me get kayleigh in. >> there is a lot of people. rosie o'donnell screaming in fronts of the white house about the electionin election bg
rigged is not true. president obama said not a single vote was changed. won that landslide. even though not screaming in fronts of the white house they are making inceernt argument about collusion. we see it with adam schiff and the dnc lawsuit against russia. that was dismissed by a d.c. court. they are making unhinged arguments, maybe not in the same way as rossy but nevertheless saying the same thing. democrats de legitimize. we organize. >> can i add maxine waters never called for violence. she explicitly did not use the word violence. ainsley: let us know what you think. hear from the people write us and respond to that did she call for violence. friends@foxnews.com. thank you for being with us. >> thanks, ainsley. ainsley: now to a fox news alert. mollie tibbets' father has a new theory about what happened to his daughter. he will join us live coming up next. carry on ♪

perhaps somebody misunderstood her intention intentions? >> could be. i mean, all of this is so much speculation. i wouldn't have any real idea of why someone would do this. but, the longer this goes on. the more i believe and, again, just speculation on a father who has too much time to think that i think she is with someone that isn't going to harm her but doesn't know how to get out of this situation. and is in over their head. brian: have you told this to the police and have they worked on that angle of the investigation? >> they're going to work on what they work on independent of what any of us think or say. they are very, very professional and very diligent in what they are doing. i have told this to them. and they have acknowledged it but, what they're working
on is on a separate and parallel track to the other parts of this search team. ainsley: mr. tibbets, are you saying this because you found a note or some evidence that leads to you believe that this has happened and are you saying that maybe she ran away maybe with someone else or that someone abducted her. >> oh, no, no, no. not like that at all. i'm sort of hesitant to even discuss. this again, this is just a hope more than a theory. but, the longer we go without finding mollie, the more i believe she is somewhere where we can get her back. steve: you would like that person to return her before they get further into trouble rob, what would you say -- if the person you feel abducted her, if that is the case, if that person were watching tv right now, what do you want that person to know? >> you have made a horrible
mistake. you obviously don't want to harm mollie, to just let her go. and then deal with the consequences of what have you done so far. don't escalate this any further. ainsley: all right. if you are watching and you have any information, even if it's small and you think it's insignificant, please call the sheriff's office. the number is 641-623-5679. or call 911 and they will connect you. thank you so much, mr. tibbets. we appreciate you hillary beinge and we're all saying prayers for your daughter. steve: the story has resonated with some people. they have a daughter, they have a sister. they have a girlfriend like mollie and their heart goes out to that family. where is she? >> ainsley: there is a big reward. if you have information that leads to her arrest. you can help the family and that money can go to your family as well.

order to continue to do business with iran. the implications are already pretty profound. they will grow more profound in november when the oil-related sanctions go into effect. steve: sanctions went into effect midnight last night. in may, the president pulled us out of the iran nuke deal. what is the goal of the sanctions? is it to get iran to negotiate a new deal or squeeze the government and squeeze the people so there is regime change? >> we don't, the policy is not regime change but we definitely want to put maximum pressure on the government. not just to come back to discuss a deal that is basically not fixable, dealing with the nuclear weapons aspect. we want to see a much broader retreat by iran for their support for international terrorism, their belligerent military activity in the middle east and their ballistic missile nuclear-related programs. so there is a lot going on here
that iran needs to be held accountable for. ainsley: this could worsen our relations with european allies. will you comment, elaborate on that a little bit please? >> i don't think it is worsening our relations with our european allies. we've been in constant communication in nearly four months i've been here. i probably spent more time communicating with european allies on the iran issue than any other single subject. we all share the same objective making sure iran doesn't get deliverable nuclear weapons. the european governments are still holding to the nuclear deal but honestly their businesses are running from it as fast as they can. the effect of the american sanctions is really proceeding regardless of the views of the european government. brian: china, any sign of cooperating? india i heard is upset. they will not cooperate. what are your thoughts? >> no, i think the indian government is cooperating. we made it clear our objective
after the november sanctions kick in, no one should buying oil from iran. to do that you have to find substitute sources. we're working with all the governments involved for that purpose. governments all around the world and businesses should ask themselves regardless of the nuclear deal, why would you want to do business with the world's largest financier of international terrorism, the central bank of international terrorism? do your shareholders feel good you're doing business with a terrorist regime? that is the sort of thing everybody needs to ask. steve: ambassador, let's switch gears. last week there was show of force. you had all the intel chiefs there in the press room. you were there. department of homeland security secretary, talking about russia, up, even today apparently is still meddling in our election process. given that, it kind of looks like putin told our president a lie? >> well he has said on numerous
occasions the russian state is not involved in election meddling. the justice department handed down an indictment a few weeks ago naming a dozen gru officials, one of the russian intelligence agencies. i don't think there is any question that the russian state is involved and that's why the president wanted the four heads of some of the key agencies involved in dough tech and preventing for ren election meddling to go out and tell the american people exactly what they're doing. now they couldn't tell them everything because obviously you're not going to tell our adversaries what they are doing so they can evade it, certainly in general terms that the government is protecting the integrity of the election process. the president knew what they were going to say. he had been briefed on it a few days before at national security council meeting. he didn't just authorized it, he encouraged it. brian: you think if they try
something we will have retribution for china or russia, anybody else that tries something? is that the only thing that will get their attention? are we prepared to do this? >> i can't get into the specifics but let me say we're considering a variety of steps to take. obviously what would like to see in place are sufficient stucktures of deterrents that foreign adversaries don't even think about meddling in our election. steve: like what? >> given the situation we inherited we're not in that place yet, given what happened in 2016 but we're working on it and in general terms what that involves is making sure that russia and others know the cost they will bear if they try to meddle in our elections would be significantly greater than whatever cost they impose on us. we don't want deterrents in cyberspace. we want our elections left alone. ainsley: north korea is urging us to drop the sanctions, accusing the washington,
accusing the president acting opposite of the singapore pledge. are we closer to see north korea denuking? we saw images of them possibly building more missiles? >> the performance we need is from north korea. the united states lived up to the singapore deggdeclaration. north korea has not taken the steps we feel are necessary to denuclearization. the idea we're going to relax sanctions on north korea's say-so is something that just isn't under consideration. we'll continue to apply maximum pressure to north korea until they denuclearization just as we are to iran. the president feels very strongly about it. we have been in consultation with other countries about keeping up the sanctions. we're determined to do it. brian: ambassador, north korea is now being the recipient of russia, is now saying since the nuclear threat is over, president indicated that, they're starting to trade more overtly and the u.n. says we're
tired of sitting on the sideline, we'll flood the zone with humanitarian aid. is that okay with you? >> we made it very clear all of these sources are fungible for north korea. they have been able to manipulate the international system over the years to get what they need to keep their economy going even at a very low level and keep their ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs going. we think the maximum pressure campaign president trump put in place is what brought kim jong-un to the table in the first place. we'll not relent until we see progress on denuclearization. steve: it was great they did turn over the remains of americans from the korean war conflict but, ambassador, you know the story last week from "the washington post," sounds like their missile program is still going full tilt. is it? >> look, what a nation that was truly committed to turning the page would do here is return the remains of paul the foreign soldiers, south korean soldiers,
australians, others in the u.n. coalition in the early 1950s obviously as well as american soldiers there. is no point in withholding remains from a conflict that long ago. if they really want peace on the peninsula as they say, they don't need any negotiations with us to do it. they can do it on their own. brian: do you have anything to announce about a second meeting? >> no but, as i have said, secretary of state mike pompeo is prepared to go back to north korea to meet with kim jong-un. we proposed that in our most recent letter from the president to kim jong-un. the president is prepared to meet at any point. what we need is not more rhetoric, we need performance from north korea on denuclearization. ainsley: thank you, mr. ambassador. >> glad to be with you. ainsley: glad to have you. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for us. jillian: we're continuing to follow the story in the search for mollie tibbetts. her family thinks she may be

government a few times. ainsley: then the government got involved and bailed them out and is that when the prompts began? >> citi in 1890 was strongest, biggest bank, people globinged to it. then you have the creation of the federal reserve, early 1900s, all of the government support and attention. what happens? pretty soon the government is bailing out citi when it gets into trouble. a lot of loans to the bank in 1920 but not that we can learn about them because the fed won't cough up the documents. ainsley: why won't they release the information? >> this is a big problem. this goes to the swamp and aspect of it, we're not going to be able to avoid repeating these failures if we can't learn about them. we couldn't get records on lending in the 1920s. we just got a letter last year from the fed saying they were not going to provide information on citi's troubles in real estate loans from more than 25
years ago. they said it is confidential. why does that have to be confidential? this is history now. we need to learn it. ainsley: they don't want the story told? >> they have been working very hard to keep the documents unwraps. i hope congress says to the fed, stop destroying documents. ainsley: goes on sale today, borrowed time, you can buy it right now on amazon. good deal. congrat is last. >> thanks a lot. ainsley: we've been telling you about the high school football coach fired after praying with his team. he has a big-time fan. legendary college coach, bobby bowden will join us live. ♪

in 2015 joe kennedy of bremerton high school in oregon it was fired for praying on the field. kendi is taking his fight to the u.s. supreme court. joining us right now is former head football coach at florida state university, bobby bowden, joining us from tallahassee. good morning to you. >> hey, good morning to you. steve: you have never met coach joe kennedy so why do you want to get involved in this case? >> because he is doing something i always did. i thought it was part of the program. it was for us. you know, and i'm thinking, if we're going to fire every coach or every teacher in public has prayer with his team, who is going to raise our children? steve: you know, times have changed. i know when you were coaching, when you first started the season, you would tell the parents and your players, just giving you a head's up, i will take your kids to church?
>> yep. i always told the parents that, when i was recruiting them. i'm going to take your son to church now, when he comes. we're going to have prayer together, you know it? if you don't want me to, i would always say this, if you don't want me to include your son, i will not. and i think after 50 something years, i think i had two families asked me not to include their son. it is funny, both are christians like i am. but i think they were afraid i was trying to get them to go to their church, which i wasn't. i would take my boys to a white church and they all had to attend. and then i would take them to a black church and they all had to attend. now the reason was that, to show them, once they got away from home, they were welcome to our churches whether they were white or black. steve: out in bremerton where coach kennedy coached and taught as well for seven years, after the games he would take a knee
and eventually the school board said you got to stop it, coach. he refused. so he was fired. and now you have added your name to this petition that is going in front of the supreme court. what do you want the supreme court to know about you and about in particular coach kennedy that we see right there taking a knee. >> just like i said at the first of the problem, by golly, if we're not going to raise our children, not give them good things, not have prayer with them, or for them, where are they going to get it? where are they going to get it? if we're going to fire everybody that has a prayer with a team, man, i wonder what will happen to our young people? it is -- surely everybody sees the problem going on in our schools today. people walking in off the street and killing 11 of them. killing 12 of them. killing two of them, things like that. you know it?
i mean, we need something stronger than us to seize this. i think we need to go to the man upstairs. steve: ultimately you would like to see coach kennedy get his job back or be able to coach somewhere else. bobby, you know how things are these days. we're in a very litigious society, when you introduce religion into things in the public square ultimately there is going to be somebody who may take offense to it. you talked about the two families who asked that you not take their sons to church. there is somebody that is going to object to fit. he gets his job back, but then he will get into trouble. >> can you do anything without somebody objecting to it? if you do it, someone is going to object. if you don't do it, some are going to object. i would rather be on the right side. to me that is on god's side.
steve: you say regardless of the supreme court decides, joe kennedy is a winner in your book? >> he most certainly is, man. hey, wouldn't you like to have him coaching your son? i mean, i would want him coaching my son, you know? these young men are in the hands of their coach. wouldn't it be awful to have a coach that was evil working with your son? i wouldn't want him there. i would love for my son to play for coach. steve: it is great to hear your point of view. bobby bowden coached the seminoles for many years. 57 years a coach. bobby, thank very much for joining us from florida with your point of view. >> thank you very much. steve: what do you think about that?

you again. first let me say to you it was evident last week that one of the major problems we have, when leaders get together as faith leaders did with the president of the united states to talk about how to fix our communities they were lambasted all across the country. brian: yeah. >> you can't even have a conversation about how to fix the problem but it is clear that the principles simply focused on the wrong issues. they need to be focused on employment, housing and education. specifically, employment for felons. we know that the workforce participation rate is all-time high, approaching 63%. when you got folks that come out of prison with non-violent felonies, you can't get a job, that simply results in more crime. a job keeps people from going back to jail. that's number one. number two, we know in some our cities we have city leadership who has misapplied their housing funds. we call it section 8.
that contributes to homelessness. third and finally, we've got an education problem in our city that these leaders simply aren't focusing on. we are leaders who are more intent on keeping our kids in failing schools. they have to embrace school choice and let a voucher take students where they can be educated. those are the issues. brian: maybe sanctuary city policies shouldn't be first and foremost on everyone's mind. they were under the impressions if you have a problem throw money at it. you say refocus the programs. >> they have to first stop throwing money at programs that have not worked, that is clear. when you look at what's happening in the cities that you mentioned. money not the problem, it's leadership. by the way leadership, not just of elected officials who want to stay in office but it's leadership also embraces the faith community that has solutions because they're dealing with these people on a
daily basis. they know where they are, they know what their needs are. employment, housing, education. brian: also the people could demand better results. look what happened to san francisco. who would ever vacation there or live there unless they had to? plus being so expensive. who would ever go to chicago in the certain areas? you have to be kidding me. a lot of these areas used to be fantastic places to visit. they have blown up. everybody should say, who are my leaders, i need to get new ones. they don't seem to say that. boggles my mind. marc little, thank you so much. >> thank you so much. brian: 11 minutes before the top of the hour.

chairman. he stepped down. they're restructuring this is one of the things that the director of the charter service thought was the thing to do. steve: now you need someone to step up? >> that's right. ainsley: i feel they're saking away the sleigh from santa. how can our viewers help? what is your plea? >> a lot of folks around the albany area are stepping up to say we'll make this work. face it, this is a marine program. we'll make it work. we will get toys to the children. could be another rail service. it could be trucking. we'll fine ways to get the toys to the kids. >> i want to point out amtrak did issue a tweet in response said "toys for tots" is a great program, amtrak continues proudly support it through the collection of toys at participating amtrak stations. collection is one thing but delivering them is another. >> that's correct. amtrak has been really wonderful. for the last six years they have been there -- >> but it is government funded.
they should be doing this. >> it will be worked out. steve: they made a business decision. ultimately it is about the toys. and those toys are so important to those kids up this. the toys will be there? >> they will be there. ultimately it is about the kids and the families, so we're going to do what it takes to do in order to make it work. brian: are amtrak employees proud of this effort in the past? how do you think they feel today? >> the support from amtrak employees in that part of new york is tremendous. brian: it is past tense now. >> we can help. "fox & friends" will help. you guys can help. i have faith. i have faith. brian: change their minds. steve: if somebody wants to step up, talk to the general about it. brian: has their own train. >> thank you, general, god bless you for what you're doing. more "fox & friends" coming up. ♪

astronomy arguably the first science cultivated by humans is in some danger light pollution from cities obscures the stars. and if you go astronomers and astrophysicists were the first to identify the danger of losing the night sky society wasn't aware of the importance of preserving that sky people thought astronomers were the only ones interested for scientific or personal reasons the nine is the most with us as is the end though we may be witnessing the end of dark nights. in the cities are excessively illuminated where you both are not. the observatory is about to move farther and farther away to increasingly remote settings. with the most remote those.
quality of the sky. if you discover in the middle of it some skies look beautiful what's that about the of but it's not guaranteed they'll stay that wife is the light and the starlight certifications ensure that there are regulations that will keep the skies so dark that people can enjoy the skies. the canary islands is the birthplace of european astro tourism other regions in the south of spain with significant attractions for visitors and a good infrastructure have added astronomy to their offerings. and after the war in the skies are clear day and night and illusia ideal for astro tourism when the sun shines tourists can enjoy the weather the beach bars and the
visitors to spain are looking for these very dark very clear skies that have been lost in their own countries. spain's privilege situation did not go unnoticed by the great powers of the twentieth century who built their astronomical complexes here. these antennas played a central role in the moon landing nasa set them up in robledo d.h. of ala in the early one nine hundred sixty s. they're part of the u.s. agency satellite monitoring and space projects complex. in the one nine hundred seventy s. domes changed the landscape of sierra day last fall operation in our maria in southeastern spain at over two thousand meters altitude continental europe the largest observatory was built here the german spanish astronomical center
minister a fully working carmen s. was an idea that arose at a scientific meeting in two thousand and eight where eleven international institutions agreed to create a device that could do what had never been possible in science before detect planets outside our solar system which like earth could potentially support life without our view that we don't of this. color alto is also exceptionally productive it's the european center that generates the highest number of scientific publications that's thanks to on again harle and her colleagues. from this room she monitors the telescopes in the center during the night they become the eyes of scientists all over the world. will begin in a thermal set of some astronomers come here themselves or we follow their detailed
instructions and carry out the research for them they tell us what to observe how long which filter which entrance lit what spectrum and so on but the key thing they ask and we have serve at the end of the night we send them the data and then at their various research centers they examine the data and decide if we need to make changes or continue as is good it will yet to come off in the. at the control center we meet on a pasquali this italian astronomer has traveled from heidelberg university to supervise her observation hours tonight. let me reach chad guy my research focuses on the formation of galaxies and tad they change over time to get us. into the what i'm doing now. studying these galaxies which we call essential galaxies that have the possibility of growing and
merging with other galaxies are. increasing them must sundial you mention over time the zero mean the mass of the main sewer nicci at that time they pull it up with the car let out the fundament that. p.m.s. any is essential for this this is the only way we can understand how stars aborning galaxies at different stages of development in the universe see if they were that saw. the firmament is observed by brilliant scientists but also by thousands of amateur astronomers their contribution cannot be underestimated the performer. we professionals must form closer ties with amateur astronomers or tourist because i'm convinced that they will contribute to the future of professional astronomy and second because a lot of science can be done with equipment that they already have. as
a boy when the wisconsin his car bio dreamed of becoming an astronomer and yet his professional life took him down other roads so instead for almost thirty years he has spent all his free time on astronomy. as amateurs we can work intensively with professional astronomers it's very exciting because instead of storing our work on our own computers we added to databases that others can use. he is prolific he publishes books writes for scientific journals and does research with international groups in recent years he helped discover a supernova with an italian team. that's a bit of a health element of a supernova is the most cataclysmic phenomenon in the universe since the big bang seeing it live being part of the co discovery of a supernova justifies all those hours all the time devoted to it although that's not the only reason to do it you do it because it's fun and you enjoy it and the
data you gather night after night can be useful for other people like an alternate to put it into the other person that's how he cultivates his hobby he spends hours and hours interpret ing data the times he used to sit outside and gaze into the night sky are long past. when you observe from a fixed spots like your house you have to have an observatory in place to avoid always setting it up and taking it down which is tedious. nowadays nonprofessional astronomers who are more serious about this can have equipment set up in a remote observatory and then they can work from home you know full well. amateur astronomers from other countries also choose to come to the iberian peninsula the one hundred and you have travelled from germany to fragonard sierra in the foothills of sierra madre now they've come with
a clear objective we will. set up our new telescope and where world test. automatic. breaking if only for so long before the craft there is one of the last telescopes set up here for hosting a special way of renting a private observatory they chose this location after analyzing other destinations on other continents. this is the best place for installing robot telescope because it's very dark here with the first point of the other part is a very good seeing here and you can reach but very fast especially from traveling the you just have to fly to you here very short so it's. a sound interrupts the interview the dome on the neighboring observatory starts moving the sun is setting and the building owner of this telescope wants to check
today's sky conditions from the heart of europe he directs operations by remote control as he watches us through his camera in a few weeks these astronomers will be able to do the same thing from their homes in munich of the china while even remaking pictures of galaxies sometimes planetary nebula we are not really doing scientific stuff fly in russia man saw a light for supernova something like that that's only if we're not scientists in that way we're just doing our spare time we are you know amateur astronomers and just biking pretty pictures as you can see and we also have a look at the stars here to see because the charming it's not possible anymore it's pollution is too strong so we're going here to do. in germany alone there are thirty thousand amateur astronomers who have to travel outside their country to be
able to enjoy their hobby the same thing happens in other countries some of these aficionados have come to this astronomical complex you mean it will come here for the climate in this colonies they mainly from northern europe we've got people from various nations from russia great britain france and belgium the u.s. company in america came here to build a telescope with us i mean we're going to the new interest. the initial forecasts were soon surpassed and a business was born with a certain romantic touch that the images that are now going to this land some years ago an extra muddle and we realized the sky was of incredible quality we would come with a telescope to look at the stars and it was great we invited friends and since jose luis had good connections in the astronomy scene he knew there was big demand for places to put up telescopes so we thought maybe that was a good way to indulge our passion for astronomy and run
a business at the same time i mean it and i don't want to feel. the hosting service has given them international prestige among astronomers the complex also offers accommodation and workshops. at night for the leading lights make their interests. between the gnarled oaks and the broad landscape the stars appear in dazzling brilliance. if they can go to the movies a wreck in this area but you can see about two thousand stars compared with a city where you can see only thirty or forty maybe fifty stars maximum you get. to learn more about stars we attend an astronomy session. or san luis can you honestly the soul of this project place is stars within the context of the universe
. is that was me that is everything we're seeing here is expanding the universe is huge it's fourteen billion years old and still expanding to see if we live in a large super city in the milky way with over four hundred billion stars oh my that but that doesn't mean the us this day gets. the numbers are astonishing the explanations show how important astronomy has always been for humans. boners the thought what if i'm going to be all our grandparents knew and identify the stars speak of the brightest star in the constellation virgo that means we spike them and when it appeared in the east they knew it was time to sew or harvest astronomy was essential for daily life but today environmentalists pollution and all our technology have completely disconnected us and for that they can put a damper. the
stars have gone out in the eyes of many. who live in the developed world. this is what the planet looks like at night artificial light illuminates large surfaces of the northern hemisphere. is the largest dam in western europe the waters of the glory on a river serve as the boundary between spain and portugal. the portuguese were the pioneers in promoting astro tourism. the idea arose in two thousand and eight as part of creating a sustainable program for the al-qaeda region to offer something unique in terms of
nature and resources for tourism we thought of something no one had considered before the sky. it's now a starlight tourist destination certified by the starlight foundation in two thousand and eleven we were the first destination in the world to obtain the certification. since then al-qaeda has become a must visit destination for astro truism this is fall into two groups. just wrong so essentially there is the amateur astronomers who love observing the sky and then there's a large increase in families many children hear about the night sky at school but they can't see the constellations in the cities where they live. so they come here with their parents to experience the dark skies together. even the show that's not . this megalithic monument the cromlech of
chess was moved near months of us when the outcome of a dam was built it's the setting for summer star parties and the face of the familiar. with the it's a party for the whole family the activities are suitable for both children and adults you can observe the sun there's a workshop for adults and children about the solar system and right now we've got a yoga session here behind us. the presence of hundreds of people lends a special symbolism to this place amid five thousand year old stones it's a unique place to connect with the universe. night force. and sheltered by the convent double router it's time to learn more about astronomy. we go claro the official astro photographer here shares his interest in the science of astronomy from a different perspective photographing space are standing firmly on the earth. was
the intent clearly very we want space to be more than just the telescope photographs disseminated by nasa and the european southern observatory. the blizzard. of when people look at these images they can't identify with them because they have no point of reference to know where they are. mail us. the news so. this works so. we want them to be able to connect to the sky and the earth and find relevance and astronomy. then there is the richness of the landscape of all caver with a crime lab and other elements of what it has to offer. it's very important to relay this message to promote ourselves. in the. course and give the food the the season was far from it.
at midnight it's time to contemplate the firmament some with the help of more or less advanced technology and many with the naked eye today with the new moon the universe looks blended. the milky way passes overhead. it's easy to identify constellations like the big dipper c.v.s. or cassiopeia. and stars that shine with their own name such as vega or dinner. the sky here affords excellent visibility and average of two hundred eighty six nights a year. the degree of darkness in the three thousand square kilometer region ranges
from twenty one point two to twenty one point eight that's the equivalent of rural skies to true dark sky sites. and those dark skies attract thousands of people interested in astronomy. some areas offer multiple activities while others are specialized this is the case at the astronomy center in the province of via delete the only center in the world to be considered a star park. i care if it was the rest of us if we didn't do astrophysics here but that is done at la palma in the canary islands and more professional observatories but we do receive school visits in the winter months with them we get tourist families and what we do is open up a little window of knowledge about the sky to them so they learn a bit more about what is up there in the sky they can look through telescopes oh
with the naked eye of a horse. after decades of experience publicizing information about astronomy young tales knows very well that this discipline requires scientific knowledge and something more. basic it is the rule out to talk about science you need a romantic view of the many of us there and you have. i got of those we wanted that if they were really lovely concepts in astronomy like that we come from the stars for example everything that exists that has substance comes from the stars with scientific concepts which are a bit inaccessible to many people it is important to present them with that sort of enticement as you share information. night phones everyone takes their position. the roof of the astronomy center slowly opens like
a curtain at a theater and the star show begins. with a muslim feel about it though the rock constellations in the night sky that can be seen with the naked eye people really like discovering statutary since scorpio and the stories that go with the constellations. for example have a good look there's sci fi is king of ethiopia who married cassiopeia years ago. so that's greek mythology area it's a lovely way for people to understand and know more about the sky. they're going to tell me. for years the extremadura center for advanced technologies has been making films for planetaria. some are shown at the trujillo planetarium and others are distributed in spain and latin america. more than one hundred twenty thousand people have seen exploring the solar system
a fascinating journey from the sun to mars. they put us in rituals a series of scenarios that had never been seen before. or both you know that's been equipped. with scientific advisors from the canary islands institute of astrophysics this film enables viewers to see and understand the dawn of a comet or an asteroid collision el mundo a meal or the ringworld is another of their films now that attempts are being made to find intelligent life on other planets this production aims to explain what such a place might be like. making astronomy attractive and establishing it as a tourist activity are matters that concern the entire sector.
the hotel parador of credos in the province of ave law is hosting a course for astro to resume guides everyone is committed to defending the dark sky regardless of participants profiles or backgrounds. rango the truth of i'm from toulouse in france i decided to take this course because i want to add it to my fifteen years of experience inter ism especially in eco tourism. and. in spain it is more developed than in france that we have techniques that could be developed but i know i'm going to be one of the first to import his knowledge about astro tourism into france. but he made those import that is they could not see me and thought i thought where is my finance. professionals from the most renowned places also come here to specialize they all see astro two resume as an opportunity. that would be more going to the
canary islands are considered the world leader in astro tourism and the truth is we're very lucky in the canary islands especially those of us born there we can't let this opportunity pass at the top of the river even for the experts practice makes perfect. i though for that matter because there are two courses that differ only in the number of class hours it's very intensive because we go for twelve hours a day so we have time to cover everything. we spend the whole day in class and at night we do astronomy practice sessions but we're all very excited about it i mean . at midday the garden turns into an observatory it's time to observe and learn about our star the sun. at the from the up with these are the first total telescopes that existed and the difference with this one is that it has a much higher resolution and this one has a point five bombs from filter which gives you lots more detail. and i don't look
at. all the telescopes are pointed at the sun tourism professionals have a clear goal in mind. they are muslim and they think linus' lifetime working for over twenty five. he is explaining the natural environment in the sierra what in madrid. we were doing night activities and started getting more and more interest in this going so we started learning more about it and this is the best opportunity to continue learning. astrophotography is also popular and tonio company us is one of the first astro photographers in spain. this is the hard point to now mature astronomy. you go from visual astronomy to looking through a telescope and end up doing photography. that possibly work leads you to do it
is wanting to see more because observation through a telescope is very limited and. the scientific content complements the to restrict content pucca sanchez is the so-called father of the movement he was the first to bring astro to risen to the area. my wife and i built a hotel here in the sierra great oss in one thousand nine hundred four we are pioneers of what is called small hotels with charm and. sympathy there for me i've always been an amateur astronomer then when i built the hotel one of the things i also did was set up a telescope in the hotel garden. the guests would come up and ask me can we have a look and so i explained what they were seeing in the sky. we built an extension and i built a dome on the roof more professional observatory look at the hotel guests will come up with me and i told them all about astronomy. and at one point i realized it was
true that we are very privileged in the sky we have here and a salary or look we believe the phone or. nature. livestock the mountains and hunting with the attractions the sierra credos was known for then. sanchez dared to innovate. now it's the dark sky that draws tourists. the demand was surprising. the people came here and asked if i hear this is a very good place to see stars who can show them to me. you know and we realized there was nobody who could do it and i was the only one here because i had my observatory and my telescope. once the potential was recognized professional training picked up. el milano grey out was the first astronomical hotel in
mainland spain astra tourism is already showing profits more of the line with that than that over half the nights of a year we've got guests who come to observe the stars yeah what's more everyone leaves happy everyone says it's fantastic i've got to come back again i'm going to start reading about this stuff because it's really fascinating that isn't this. the have a lumber a astrophysical observateur is the most recent professional observatory built in western europe. here in the province of tehran they are working on an ambitious international project making a three dimensional detailed map of the cosmos. several kilometers away the same promoter the outer gone center for studies of the physics of the cosmos has built galactica a center for publicizing and practicing astronomy. this project designed
exclusively to cater to astral tourism expects to receive twenty four thousand visitors a year. other sites offer more they open up the interior of their professional observatories to visitors in our maria the french association of color alto defends that view this organization was created in twenty thirteen during tough economic times you know if this if it more it would be after germany and spain signed the agreement for the observatory that they were just the cuts in budget which. initially there was talk that the observatory might disappear that it might close. to. or at first few people could imagine what the white domes and special sky conditions of colorado were good for scientific tourism is
now an important asset. just as for august the reason it was that he was on your story we've held three of these astra tourism meetings in recent years is more need to try to open up the market in this area because there wasn't much to offer. because we realized that when people came up to callout and set up amateur telescopes at night they were stunned they had no idea of the quality of the sky they had. you know who wore the german spanish astronomical center in collaboration with the astro tourism company as a moot has started to offer an exclusive astronomical experience it allows visitors to feel they are an astronomer for a night i think that at a present there is no professional observatory in europe where a person can look through a telescope more than
a meter in diameter with an eyepiece this activity is exclusive to car our total people it's offered nowhere else in the world. and anyone who does it will have an experience that they'll remember for the rest of their life. out of whatever other things we have. once a month this telescope which is one point twenty three meters in diameter is available for scientific tourism activity. they said that is the name we have the ability to remove the scientific operators from the telescope and replace it with an eyepiece. that it would then our visitors can personally observe the marvels of the sky. seen from here in colorado. and feel like a lot of. our main activity is research for science so the number of nights we can devote to this activity is certainly limited but it's something we're committed to. we're going to keep it
going and there are circumstances a lot will expand and enhance it. in the evening the experience begins. i want to see what you see through a telescope with a vast range of lenses you have i've heard the resolution is so high you can see the moons of your anus that's what i want to see you know that all of. the special guests are invited into the scientists work spaces. and. we think this activity is more appropriate for people who have already had some previous experience with telescopes because if you have never looked through a telescope before and looked through this one for the first time call never want to look through any other want to know what i mean up in the lot. as darkness falls the dome opens.
in one thousand nine hundred seventy five this telescope manufactured in germany was the first telescope to go operational that color until. tonight is one of the ten thousand nights it has been used to observe the firmament . it has two purposes. the scientific one which is usually operated from the control room in colorado or by remote control from grenada and germany. and the second one for astro to resume activities. on those occasions it's operated from the control desk. for the session leader adjusting the eyepiece is not always easy the eyepiece has to be at an accessible height. and depending on which celestial body the telescope is aimed at that can be difficult a movable platform helps. as
some people take turns looking through the telescope others enjoy the spectacle offered by the sky as seen with the naked eye. for two hours observations are made from the planets in our solar system on out into deep space. that it. is and that they have faith in i know i've been an amateur astronomer since i was fifteen or sixteen but the reflect all reflected telescopes i've use do not have the resolution that this one has today i've seen a planetary nebula is and that is far from what your average amateur astronomer can aspire to see a bit though he got the unique extraordinary experience it's really a privilege to be here. because of the height encourage everyone to come and see what kind of work they do here and what astronomy has to offer above all the top
level science being done here is the best since that if you're into. the universe has existed far longer than we humans have and it will continue long after we disappear. many people don't give that a second thought still an increasing number are looking for a connection to something greater something that makes their own existence seem so small and yet at the same time makes them feel part of any ments vastness. it's enough to just look up this is our legacy. our infinite legacy.

A look at the day's latest news and headlines.
supreme court. >> harris: i bring in my first guess this talk to the president during a golf game. south carolina senator lindsey graham is with us now, member of the senate judiciary committee. great to see you tonight. >> thank you. >> and so the president brings us up on the golf course. how does that happen and what did you tell him? >> he thinks this is a witch hunt and he didn't do anything wrong. mr. president i've seen new evidence in collusion. why do you think we didn't collude with the russians. we got to be patient and run its course, and we want to make sure he's treated fairly. i don't blame him for being frustrated. this has been going on for a very long time. >> harris: i know i've heard you say that it was about 20 or so time that he said that.
>> i was joking. >> you don't want to hand losses to republicans, how would that go? >> if we shut down the mueller investigation publicly it would be the only thing that anyone talked about. that would just let this thing go. if he doesn't issue a report soon, i've looked at this thing pretty close, zero evidence of collusion between the trump campaign, president trump and the russians. collusion and meddling are two different things and we will see what happens.
that's handing off now, the response if you will and they are handing off their list. we talked about that and the president again is frustrated with the investigation going to long. he thinks he did nothing wrong. he makes a good point. look at what they did with the clinton email investigation. the fbi agent in charge of the clinton email investigation heated trump white clinton, nothing happened. the fisa warrant came from a document prepared by somebody on the democratic party's payroll and he feels like there is a double standard here. one of the things that we didn't talk about, apparently about five years ago the fbi told dianne feinstein that one of her employees may be an agent of the chinese government and that was the right thing to do. and she fired him. we are going to send a letter to director ray next week and ask him, what is the policy?
why didn't you tell president trump that you had concerns about carter page? is there a double standard here? if this is a counterintelligence investigation or criminal investigation, the fbi should have told president trump that they had concerns about papadopoulos and paige. why didn't they do for trump what they did for feinstein? >> harris: let me step back for a second to dianne feinstein, the senator was made aware and she went on ahead and then fired the spy. now you're sending a letter to christopher wray. are you feeling like that needs more investigation right now? what do you want him to do exactly and do we need to step back even further and take a look at anybody else? >> i'm saying, what's going on with the fbi? why do you tell a democrat when they hire somebody connected to china, it could happen to anyone's office. when the fbi finds out that somebody is working for us and may have connections to a foreign government, they should
tell us and dianne feinstein acted responsibly. when it comes to the trump campaign, why didn't they tell us about papadopoulos or carter page? and at the end of the day, what has carter page done wrong? >> when i said stop back, paul manafort is on trial right now. that's what i mean, how far back do we need to go. >> here's the point, a counterintelligence investigation is designed to protect american institutions from infiltration. the right thing for the fbi to do is if they find somebody working for a political campaign or bank or any part of the government is to inform the people in charge that this person in charge that you hired has unsavory connections. that's what they did for feinstein. why did they not do that when it came to manafort, gates and papadopoulos? if they did have a confidential informant, what did the
informant learn about the trump campaign in russia, apparently nothing. >> that seems like a couple of names that needed to be added. as you just said, i want to talk about iran. i read a statement from you today and it's one of those things where, would it have made a difference a few years ago if the iranian citizens had somebody to advocate where you did in the statement. you feel very strongly that this is the time again to support any kind of revolution that might pop. what's happening and why? >> president trump, if you are listening, this is a murderous regime that will not allow iran to be a peaceful of the member of the family of nations. the ayatollah is the religious. he wants to purify islam and
destroy israel and come after us. world peace and the ayatollah cannot fit into the same sentence. this is disgraceful that you are picking this regime over the people. that you want to do business with this man who dismembered the mideast and has destroyed the state of israel and is the largest state-sponsored. european businesses are going to pick our economy over iran and it's not if the regime falls but a matter of why and if we keep the pressure on. i think it's working. >> the president of iran said he wanted to see if we could be sincere, if we were interested in getting another deal. before i let you go, when you play golf with the president do you let him win? >> i try my best to beat him, i just can't. for me to beat him he has to beat 80 and i have to shoot 80 which is hard. but he's a gracious host and he has lots of fun and he's doing a
good job. any deal with iran that they would honor it is probably not worth having. i just want to thank president trump for resetting our foreign policy leading from the front, taking on dictators and thugs like the ayatollah. we will bring about regime change without firing a shot. >> senator lindsey graham, thank you very much. great to have you from the great state of south carolina tonight. take care. and that there is breaking news tonight. at any moment we expect to hear from republican chris collins. we are told he will hold a news conference following that indictment of insider trading charges that broke earlier today. and as we roll along in prime time several big tuesday races still too close to call. but there is one clear winner in michigan. being called a future of the republican party, john james

>> harris: to the breaking news now, that news conference from new york congressman chris collins that we are waiting room on right now, earlier today just a few hours ago we were on live on "outnumbered" and the news broke of insider trading charges against this congressman. his attorney at the time said he will be vindicated, he laid out a case for how this was not insider trading. but however federal prosecutors in new york also laid out their case today. this will be our first chance to hear directly from the congressman. i should mention the speaker of the house paul ryan today pulled him off and energy committee saying the courts will figure this out. in the meantime he will not be serving on that committee within the house. chris collins, congressman from new york will step up to the lectern and take you there live. >> also developing at this hour nearly 24 hours after the polls closed in five states, several races are still too close to
call. ohio, the special election there. republican troy balderson is claiming victory before it has become official. he holds a slim margin with just about 1750 votes between democrat denny o'connor. in the race to be the next governor of kansas, chris kovach has a slim lead over sitting governor jeff collier. but one race is definitive, michigan's g.o.p. senate primary where iraq war veteran john james beat fellow challengers sandy pencil or by nine points. president trump tweeted this "congratulations to the future star of the republican party, future senator john james. a big and bold victory tonight and the great state of michigan, the first of many. november can't come fast enough" here now, john james, the republican nominee for senate in michigan. great to have you on the program. tell people a little bit about
what last night felt. i want to hear directly from you and now it stay down as you head down the road. >> last night felt absolutely incredible and it was awesome to give the glory of god and also point out the folks who got me to this point, the grassroots support that we felt from the very beginning. folks who believe that michigan is is truly a state that is the home of the american dream, the birthplace of the middle class and we are finally going to send somebody to washington who understands what it takes to grow a business. i grew my family business, but i also understand what it takes to keep america safe. your last segment with senator senator graham, it's the iranian exporting of terror and hate. i understand that personally fighting with iranian trained fighters, that actually took american lives and killed american soldiers, and that's my experience to bear in washingto
washington. we are fighting them on the ground in syria. they are going after our men and women on the ground there. let's move on and talk about you, because you have just gotten off the stage with vice president pentz. >> vice president pence is 100% behind me, and as 43 years as an elected official, she's got nothing done for the state of michigan. so we will continue to make sure that we tout our gains and stay on the defense. if we go on the offense of and tell everybody that we are the party of emancipation, we are the party of suffrage and we are the party of economic opportunity, separation of powers and making sure everyone
can achieve the american dream. it's been are some things to bring up particularly from an african-american candidate. we have so many problems, i understand if we want to flip back. i want to kind of leave on that line, because that's what people are thinking, politics are local. and by the way, did i get enough attention in 2016 from the other side of the political aisle? >> i came back from iraq because while i was over fighting, i saw pictures in our armed forces networks of areas in the places you just mentioned. they look worse in the combat zone i was flying in so i came back and helped create jobs. what we need to do is make sure that we continue to push forward the opportunity zones that just got signed, and our president moved forward. our president is at 29% approval
rating but right now african-americans are in a situation where the democratic party is ignoring them and we have a republican party that is now paying attention. i will be listening and learning before i lead and i'm happy to not have a black or white message about a red, white, and blue message and make sure that i bring forward and get results that deveney debbie stabenow has not gotten. >> harris: red, white, and blue all the way. thank you john james. >> thank you. go to john james for senate.org senate.org. thank you for your support. >> harris: chairman of the harris poll and former presidential pollster to bill and hillary clinton, great to see you as well. thank you for being on the program tonight. the harris poll was not my own. let's talk about if we can the democratic party right now. opportunities that may be there because of a message that is
going so far west, you could see. >> i think right now for democrats heading into the midterms, and it's concerning the fact that democrats keep outperforming. however i will caution that with the fact that special elections are special for a reason. take for instance the arizona special election. arizona eat is not a competitive race, and, one thing that we know because we have asked seen it, its intensity on your side of the aisle. but it's confusing. who is really wearing i guess the messaging pants of the party right now, is at the far, far left and the socialist democrats or someone else? >> i think you have to
differentiate between the voters and kind of what you see on table, cable tv. there's no question that donald trump is in charge of the republican party, but he's not winning over swing voters. on the democratic party what we learned is socialists are not in charge of the democratic party. none of the sanders backed candidates emerge from their primaries. some of them lost quite badly. the whole socialist movement has been overplayed and ten or 20% of americans are socialists. the economy is not taking a turn and it's like that hit song, it's meeting people in the middle and i think that's what you saw him last night's primar primary. >> harris: you know lisa as you go forward, we are 90 days away. i you can't even count this day. is there something within the party for republicans outside of the president's mojo as he touches down and helps candidates that they can really
lean on? i'm not hearing as much about the economy. >> it is and i think for republicans the biggest challenge they have is the fact that they have so many competitive open seats and it's these members that haven't had to run a tough race in a while, but i will also say that republicans have in fact 18 out of the nine special elections. so i think republicans have to work much harder to get their voters to turn out to vote. we've already seen that enthusiasm is high, and they want to retake the house. so republicans have to work harder but i think if they do i it, and the candidates run good races, we may lose some seats but we may not lose the house specifically. >> and those particular democrats, who may leave a little bit toward a center line
or even to the right, what do you predict will happen with them? >> i think they will have tough races but i think most of them are beloved in their states. this is where -- is it always a national election or is it a local? donald trump is certainly nationalizing the election and making it about him, and he's at 45% approval but not over 50. that means the republicans, if that's their message, because after all republicans don't really have the leadership. ryan has quit, they don't have a message, there is no real republican card. and they may do better in these races localizing it. it's about people who care. >> harris: we look out ohio, we are waiting for this provisional and absentee ballot to come in, but those suburbs, actually the president was right
around 55% in terms of his ability to win in those areas. we will see if those translate in that race as well. too close to call as they are calling it now. and it's great to see you. up next, the socialist movement not making many waves last night and we were just talking about despite media darling alexandria ocasio-cortez flooding the airways with ideas like this. >> they say how will you pay for it, as though they haven't use the same ways to pay for unlimited war, to pay for a trillion dollar tax cuts and tax cut extension. >> harris: so i ask, and you see ben shapiro, where does socialism actually work? we will talk about it, he has a whole lot to say about that. also we are waiting on that news conference, a senator charged with an indictment that was full faceted.
he has already been taken off at least one committee by house speaker paul ryan. lots to talk about, our first time to hear directly from this congressman and we will bring it to you live as he steps up to the lectern. stay close. no matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. call one today. are you in good hands? they work togetherf doing important stuff. the hitch? like you, your cells get hungry. feed them... with centrum micronutrients. restoring your awesome, daily. centrum. feed your cells. it's the ford summer sales event and now is the best time to buy.

is what we are waiting for to start right here. republican representative chris collins of new york, the southern district. this will be interesting that we have heard from him after insider trading charges were pressed by prosecutors in the state of new new york. his client will be vindicated, and there will be a case mounted with vigorous defense to clear his good name. they are running about 60 minutes behind, and as soon as it happens you will see it here. meanwhile, this has developed. the future of the democratic party as we head into the midterms, starting tomorrow, 89 days. new york congressional candidate and described socialist alexandria ocasio-cortez. her way forward is the right
way, she says. she has some big issues with the current outlook of her party. take a listen. >> we have not had a party that has been investing in its own future. so we have people who are constantly fund-raising for their own reelection. the average age of house democrat right now is 65 years old. their heyday was in the 90s when kids had further use and parents -- soccer moms had a furby and like to vans. >> harris: here's how to respond in one way, ben shapiro is editor in chief. i just had on mark penn and used to work for the clintons, this
is not the democratic party of of old. >> it's the new democratic socialist party and this is a wave of the future. what's really incredible about all of this is if republicans could simply make this a referendum of democratic extremism on the fact that this is not even nancy pelosi's party anymore, i think the republicans would have a much better shot in 2018 and going into the future. the fact is that she makes statements that are factually untrue, they are wild and crazy and she wants to spend $218 trillion which would require a quadrupling of the percentage of gdp. that is anything remotely resembling an interview with somebody else on the other side of the aisle. >> and that might be the only reason why the tough questions have not come. they have come and they have been difficult for her. the middle east foreign policy
is not my thing so on and so forth, and she struggled in some areas but i quite frankly i thought her district was here in new york. the democrats are putting her out on the main national stage and that gets complicated no matter whom month they surround her with. like bernie sanders or whoever it is. you have a direct clap back to the soccer mom line. >> the fact is the soccer moms aren't driving vans anymore, they are driving suvs. you don't have to have two of them, and, it's also factually untrue. the fact is that the number of mothers in american society is actually increasing over the past ten years. erasing an increasing number of women who are staying at home and i don't know why the democrats are appealing to a crowd that does not include soccer moms. and what is it, the passion versus the policy.
a guest on outnumbered overtime earlier today put it that way. that is fine and what is the policy that goes along? what socialist country that we know of where these policies have actually worked. >> they keep shifting the answer. they say cuba was not socialist and venezuela was not socialist, and they are ignoring of course the fact that all wealth generated in nordic countries was generated by capitalism and their social redistribution programs which have actually created massive costs. in an attempt to label them with social systems on top of those, with socialist countries as a whole. then iraq prime minister came to the country a couple years ago when he was saying the country was a socialist country, we are not a socialist country, we are a capitalist country. >> why do people want to hear
about democratic socialists? and most of them say that's not my party. dianne feinstein couldn't even get an endorsement. the democrats don't actually have a lot of new idea, and their hatred for the president and the fact that they need a separate agenda. that does create the need for ocasio-cortez. >> harris: ben shapiro looks into it and writes about it. thank you, great to see you. up next -- >> i would have never dreamed that all those coffins that were coming back had anything related to my father. >> harris: a dog tag identified in the remains returned to united states by north korea. hear from the family of a korean war veteran.

>> we were contacted by the department of the army and, we found one dog tag and they said, it's your fathers. we are just overwhelmed, or i am, that all of these boxes that came back and out of all of these thousands of people that we are the only one that has certitude on at least, is it possible obviously my father is alive someplace and lost his dog tag? that's improbable. but we have some certitude now. >> harris: an emotional moment on the road to closure today. the military handed over the dog tag identified in the boxes of remains returned from north korea last week. to the family of master sergeant charles h mcdaniel. he is believed to have been killed in combat in 1950.
his sons, charles jr. and larry that you just saw were so young that they had little memory of their dad. joining me now, bill bennett, host of the bill bennett podcast, former secretary of education and now fox news contributor. great to have you on the program tonight, and eileen in your direction because you hold so much about the history you have served under many presidents and councils. what do you have to add about this moment that really teaches us the meaning of those dog tag tags? >> isn't it interesting, with all the things in life and all the things that matter to people that this dog tag with matter so much? and it's a touch and a substantiation of the memory of this man and you can see how overwhelmed this young man, the reporter called them young man, to have that in their hands. and then the remains coming as well.
this is an important fact about human nature, and we treasure whatever we can put in our hand and hold onto. we are spiritual people, and a touch of mortality is something we can hold in our hand when they examine these boxes and see if they are the remains of the soldiers, can mean the world to their families. even ancient times, what will happen with the body? what will you do with my remains. hector and achilles are talking about that at troy, and hector says, let's return the body, whoever wins, return the body to the others family. achilles refuses and humiliates him by humiliating the body. what's interesting here is a family of hector greaves not only for his death but the
accumulation of his body. >> harris: want a deep reminder by those principles that are so much ingrained in war. it bears reminding that this is such a hinge point now in history. we have an armistice in place, and this is just the end of fighting the korean war. there's so much more ground to work over to get to the point where we actually call it peace and in part of that process, it is what you say, and this is just the beginning of this journey. >> our other journey as a marine is to leave no man behind it. in some cases it's necessary to leave a man behind but something of that man is returned. and i have to say what that means, that gift back, that
recovery back mean so much. people are then able to have something tangible, by means with which they can remember. it's a very solemn thing and it reminds us in our celebration of something, what a serious and spiritual people we are. we hold these things to be of great value. i hope everyone can appreciate what this means. it is -- as a wonderful line of poetry, virgil says, hereto, things mortal touch the mind and there are tears for passing things. hereto, the honorable finds its due. and something like that is going to the minds of people as they gather and wait to receive this. our thoughts are with them. >> harris: and all the families that are waiting for some sort of answers in this journey toward closers as well. there were 55 boxes of remains
and i had the head forensic scientists of the pentagon explained to me, we don't even know if those are separate remains or if someone goes together, but there is a long road of thousands of additional possibilities for remains to come back and answer those questions about closures for family. but for now you have given us a lot to think about in terms of history and that informs us of how to be in the future. war is part of life unfortunately and you make it -- it has extra meeting tonight for those remains coming back from the korean war. so thank you, bill bennett, for your time. >> shakespeare says the valiant die only once in the coward dies many times. we celebrate the valiant. thank you. >> the great dr. bill bennett was so much deep into the ocean knowledge there. now we turn to breaking news. we are waiting and we have just gotten word that we are closer now to representative chris
collins coming to the lectern. i key is today an indictment of insider trading, what did you know and who did you tell about nonpublic information on a medical product? did you benefit or did anyone you know benefit? and they are talking to republican reporters for the very first time sisto started to tip. we will take you there live as it happens. plus he was the calming presence among the unrest in ferguson, missouri. captain ron johnson is now saying a whole lot about those 13 violent days, next. >> i grew up there and this is currently my community in my home. therefore this means a lot to me personally and we will break the cycle of violence

johnson of the missouri highway patrol was put in charge of keeping the peace and was hailed as a hero by all sides by taking off his bulletproof vest and join the protesters at one point. captain johnson just wrote a book "13 days in ferguson" detailing what he calls the most trying days and nights of his life, and he joins me now for an exclusive interview. captain johnson, thanks for being on the program. i first want to just make the point that they that darren wilson was vindicated, he was found not to have done anything legally incorrect in shooting michael brown and he has now been in seclusion with his wife and child for some time. we will get to him in a moment. you became the face that stood between the black live matters protesters and the police officers who had to do their jobs. why did you put yourself in that position? >> you know for me i was able to see both sides of it and i believe the middle-of-the-road was the road to travel to bring both sides together.
whatever it took to do, i was willing to do that. >> your family didn't want to do that, they feared for your safety. what did you tell them? >> i told them the day that i put on that badge there was a responsibility. i think when we get that badge would get a responsibility and that was my responsibility, to the community come up to country, to make sure that i'm here for the safety of all, and that was my charge. >> harris: what impressed me at the time and i know you have written about this in your book, you wanted people to understand about those white police officers and that particular police force, that there were so many good people on that force. and it not to judge everyone the same way. >> captain johnson: that is true. i think we can't judge everyone the same way. i wanted those policemen, and we couldn't judge all those protesters the same way and that once again goes back to the middle-of-the-road. >> harris: you've written this book, what do you want people to
know about the book? >> captain johnson: i want people to know that there were a lot of stories that were on the streets of ferguson, on both sides. lots to hear and a lot of courage that was shown. we have to make sure that we understand each other, can relate to each other, but also about faith. i think faith played a big role for me and a big role for a lot of the protesters and a law enforcement that was out there. >> harris: all right, i have to let you go, we have some breaking news. thank you captain ron johnson. this is congressman chris collins of new york, we were watching a news conference following an indictment of insider trading charges from earlier today. the congressman now, let's watch together. >> it started for me when i borrowed and started scraping together every dollar i could to buy the westinghouse gear division here in buffalo and move it to niagara falls under a new name.
i'm proud that we put hundreds of people to work that are still working there today. after selling it, i ran for congress in 1998 in the niagara falls area knowing that my business experience would benefit the citizens of new york and offer a new perspective in congress. after being humbled in that race, i spent the next ten years as an entrepreneur, investing and helping to stabilize dozens of bankrupt and financially distressed companies, saving and creating hundreds of jobs here in western new york. in 2007, i was recruited to run for erie county executive, to turn around of the effective bankrupt county. i was elected, and by applying the principles of lean six sigma, turned around the county finances in 18 short months.
all the while honoring my campaign pledge to work for $1 a month. one of the many companies i invested in was a small drug development company, innate immuno therapeutics, which was working on a unique cure for hiv patients suffering with aids. ultimately come up that focus shifted to a treatment for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which is one of the deadliest autoimmune diseases known to mankind. my affiliation with this company is why we are here today. i have been an avid and unwavering supporter of innate immuno therapeutics for more than 15 years, long before i came to congress or was elected county executives here in erie county. over this time, my affiliation has prompted a tax on me, my integrity and by investments by
political opponents. i believed in the company and i still do, and in the potential of a drug that had a real possibility of improving the treatment option for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis patients. and that's about the most debilitating disease known to mankind and something that i saw firsthand effect a close family member. over the years i invested heavily in innate, became the company's largest shareholder and an uncompensated member of its board of directors. without my investments instead biased financial support, the company would have gone under, bringing with it a premature end into a drug that i truly thought would revolutionize treatment options for secondary progressive ms. of all the things i wanted to accomplish in my life, finding a cure for secondary progressive ms was at the top of the list. after years of blood, sweat and tears, we firmly believed we
were on the verge of a medical breakthrough. sadly, despite showing great initial promise, the drug was ultimately shown to be unsuccessful, which is a setback for all those suffering from this deadly disease. many have speculated about my relationship with innate. here are the simple facts. my connections with the company are well-known. i believe i acted properly and within the law at all times with regard to my affiliation with innate. throughout my tenure in congress, i have followed all rules and all ethical guidelines when it comes to my personal investments, including those with innate. when it became clear that the drug that i and others believed and fell short of our hopes and expectations, i held onto my shares rather than sell them. as a result, the significant investment i made in the company worth millions of dollars were wiped out. that's okay.
that's the risk i took. my real concerns lie with the millions of people suffering with secondary progressive ms who to this day struggle without life-saving >> i've said it before, and i'll say it again. i am proud of my affiliation with innate. i may have lost most of my money, but i have been blessed with a chance to bring relief to those who have had the disease of secondary progressive ms every day. the charges that have been levied against me are meritless, and i will mount a vigorous defense in court to clear my name. i look forward to being fully vindicated and exonerated, ending any and all questions relating to my affiliation with innate. i have spent the last ten years in public service as a member of congress. i have also spent many years
