thanks to my colleagues and friends. two weeks out, this is why i rushed back. i was getting a little concerned. we have ohio republican congressman and who knows, this could be the next speaker of the house. we will get the read on that. always good to have you. >> good to be here. >> neil: the president is busy on behalf of republicans. our republicans posting a situation with congressman collins, and disarray, what you make of it? >> not at all. i think we will keep the house. i think the campaigning president campaigning is a good thing. he was able to win tuesday. troy was losing into the president came in for a big rally a week and a half ago. he was the one that put troy over the top. the president has had an amazing year and a half. i think he has helped. i'm glad he is campaigning today. >> neil: in ohio, the president has blamed the governor for the tweeting that the very unpopular government of ohio hurt him in the recent win by tampering enthusiasm for a candidate. you agree with that? >> here's what i know, an absentee ballot, when the president came here for the rally the saturday before election day, troy balderson was losing him a when the president came in, he loosed election day big, he winds up winning. when the president came in, he turned it around for troy balderson. i know that a year and half that the president has had, the economy is growing at 4.1%, unemployment is lowest in 20 years. we are out of the iran deal. >> neil: you don't agree with governor -- you don't agree with governor with his sentiment that you have to stop the chaos, and you have to get more in tune and stop alienating people. >> not even close. what i agree with is that the last year and a half, by anybody's standards, he won that election when he came in for troy balderson when he was losing prior to the president coming in in ohio. >> neil: the president's efforts on behalf of these candidates, and relatively safe districts, but not as safe as a sign? >> i think the president helping his party win the midterm elections is a normal thing. i think it is a good thing. i think we are going to keep the house this fall. that is what i believe is going to happen. i think that it is great that the president is out there campaigning. the folks at this rally in columbus, ohio, and delaware county ohio, a week and a half ago for troy balderson, it was incredible. thousands were turned away. they waited there for hours. the energy in that room and the response that the president gave wasn't great. >> neil: i very much apologize. we do want to go right now to the timeline in iowa. the disappearance of molly. >> while we are reluctant to discuss all of the investigative leads, and the details of this case as well as the methods, we will utilize every technology and all available resources in this investigation. through the response from our community has been overwhelmingly positive as we continue our attempts to locate mollie. understandably, this is a stressful time for the community and for those who love her. we ask that you remain patient and vigilant. once again, we would like to thank all who have bravely come forward to provide information to date. as we continue in our efforts, we are asking for your assistance and identifying possible bystanders or witnesses. as we have said before, we are considering all potential scenarios. it is possible that mollie came into contact with someone who has caused her harm. this person may not necessarily be a member of our community, but likely has some familiarity with the area. while residents may have developed their own opinion as to what happened to mollie, we are asking everyone to reflect back on the days prior to her disappearance in hopes of recalling details about any persons or vehicles in the area. individuals who commit violent crimes often display behavior that is recognized by those with whom they live, work, attend school, or are in otherwise close relationships with. often, there are individuals who are unknowingly associated with the offender of a crime and may be in a position to observe behavioral changes in that person. they will recognize the change, and may even question them about it come about will not rely the change about the person to and involvement in a crime. please contact us if you have noticed when were the following changes within the person you have associated since july 18th. change in normal routine which might include missing school, work, or routine engagements without plausible explanation. a vehicle unexpectedly taken to a repair shop or sold, or disposed of. unexpected or intensive cleaning of a vehicle, possibly at an unusual time of day or night. unexplained lack of contact or inability to get in touch with someone you knew the evening of july 18th into the morning of july 19th. altering physical appearance. growth or removal of facial hair, change in cut or color of their hair, displays of anxiety, nervousness, stress, or irritability, unexplained injuries, changes in consumption of alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, changes in sleep patterns, interest in the status of the investigation, including close attention to media coverage, or an unwillingness to discuss the investigation. it is often in cases like this that people may have information that they do not initially share it for a number of completely understandable reasons, for example, they do not initially feel that it was important, or assumed that somebody else may have already informed law enforcement. we encourage you to provide whatever information you may have. please do not make your own judgment about importance, please let us assess the relevance of your temper information. furthermore, if you are worried about the circumstances in which you obtained this information, your identity can remain anonymous. today, we are launching a website to allow the community to further assist in this investigation. we invite you to visit the site, www.findingmollieiowa.gov.wehopo utthatday. hisnoteclose.com allows you to submit anonymous tips and sign up for updates about the site. finally, we want to thank all of you, our community, the media, the nation for standing with us as we work to bring mollie home. at this time, the sergeant and i will address a few questions. >> have you guys identified a 24's cell phone? are you using them in your investigation? >> we are using every investigation technique available to track down and locates for 24. we are trying to track the digital footprint of space 24 and whatever media devices that might be, we are using is the best we can. i won't be able to release any of that information. i won't be able to give investigative facts. we will try to keep those closed to the vests for the integrity of the investigation. but i will try to answer as much as i can for you. >> have they been willing to give mollie's information or access to her account? >> with those of search warrants, that is part of any investigation that we do. we will get together search warrants and subpoenas, and they have been honoring those, yes. >> the passport, what are you doing different with that that you weren't doing in the three previous weeks? >> the task force actually was started and generated at the onset of the investigation. we continue to use as many resources as available. we have resources from across the country reach out and be willing to help out. we will tap into anybody or any organization that we can to track down mollie. >> the locations that are highlighted on the map, where are those locations coming from? what is the importance of those locations? >> those are just locations that were highlighted on the map to help remind people if they were to tap into those sites and be able to hopefully generate some ideas or thoughts. no specific reason for those certain areas, but we are hoping that people will look at the map to jog their memory, basically. >> a lot of resources pulled into searching the farm. did you execute a search warrant there? >> i will not be able to divulge who we have spoken with or where we have gone to conduct searches. i can tell you that we have done a number of searches around the the county and abroad. it has included acreages, barns, homes, anywhere that a lead would take us, that is where we are going to go and that is where we are going to search. >> at this point, we are identifying it as a missing person. we hope to find her soon and bring her home soon. >> people are saying you're on the the verge of something big, in terms of arrest, but we have nothing. what is your message to the public? >> are messages that we will continue to run out the leads and we will do the best we can. i'm not going to let everyone know what we have and what we don't have. but, we would welcome as many phone calls and information as they feel relevant. >> how far and how do you feel about the changes? >> it is another avenue to use, another conduit for us to use and the investigative team. some people are more techie than others. some people would prefer to place a phone call or write letters. we have received letters and phone call. another avenue in this digital world for people to use. >> again, we have this map that is interactive that they can pull up and take a look at the map. there is also a link for the tips where they can provide an anonymous tip if they so choose. as well as maybe some telephone numbers. again, it is another conduit for the general public to use to provide us information that will allow us to vet that information. and again, i would emphasize that no matter how minute or minor that they may think that information might be, it is important to provide it to us. >> the speculation that you use to track down or stop in violation of restraining order, have you pushed back on sex offenders in this area? >> i'm not going to mention who we spoke to. i'm not going to release any names or any information on the investigation itself. i won't do that. >> maybe there was a misunderstanding russian mark >> we are looking at all options. we will continue to do that until we are able to bring back mollie. >> how involved are you in the timeline? >> we feel very good about the timeline. we feel very good about it. we can come to the conclusion and investigation. we do have a timeline in place. we don't feel that the public is at risk, per se, that a something that the public is concerned about, if the public was at risk, we'd certainly notified them about that. thus far, we have not felt the need to do that at this point. >> are tips coming in as rapidly as before? >> they are, they have received in excess of 1500, and continues to climb. i can tell you that as an investigative team, we have contacted over 500 plus interviews thus far. i can tell you that the crime stoppers has got the award up to $366,400. and that comes from 228 donors. certainly, this has generated a lot of public interest. a lot of people are concerned, as are we. we would again welcome the phone calls and the information so that we could track the finder. >> [reporter question] speak of what was the first part of the question? >> [reporter question] >> i don't think so, the reason for that is that we want to keep the investigation and protect the integrity of it. it is not something that we do. we don't provide the information on the investigation as it is ongoing. again, that is why we emphasized the importance of that if they think they know something, certainly provided to us, and we will executed. >> is a reward being offered here? >> we feel confident that it will ultimately lead to finding mollie. we have not lost hope. we continue to strive to bring her back home safely. we are not frustrated, we are diligent, and will continue to do so. yes, sir. >> will you cap the reward? >> no, we are not going to cap anything appeared we don't think along those lines. if money will help bring her home, then we welcome that. >> getting on and off 80 -- >> i don't have any specific sport, but that is something that we are looking into and keeping an open mind on. i know that trafficking is something that is discussed on a regular basis. i don't have any stats for you, i would not be able to provide that. >> are you confident with the timeline? do you know where she was? what is the gray area? >> we can certainly have a timeline, and that is what we use as part of our investigation. i don't know what you're asking. we feel confident of the timeline itself. >> if you feel like you know where she was that day as part of the timeline? >> that is what we look into. as an investigative team, we look at the early morning hours on that particular day on july 18th to the evening hours. we try to get as much information and as much as we can when it comes to these types of investigation. >> have the place and i will have her had a case like molly before? >> we have, we have missing people before, and it is something that we deal with. we will probably have to deal with it in the future. we hope not, it is a possibility. we have done these investigations before. again, i want to emphasize that the investigation is with the sheriff's office, and a number of agencies across the country reached out and are willing to assist, which we greatly appreciate. >> with your current to plan, is that adding more personnel? >> whatever personnel it takes to run off the leads, that is what we are going to use. that is what we will continue to do as we continue the investigation. >> when will it lessen the amount of investigations? how much money are we spending working on this case defined mollie and bring her home? >> i don't know. i don't track that. my job is to investigate crime. money is not an issue, we don't care about that. our issues to track down mollie. >> how is morale among your investigators? >> morale is good, we feel confident. i can appreciate the question, but it really does not apply to us. we will find mollie and do everything we can to find her. any other questions? >> agents that are working at this time? >> i don't have a number for you. we have a number of people running out leads as we speak. it is ongoing and continues to require a lot of manpower, and we will continue to dedicate that manpower for bringing mollie. >> i don't see lessening any manpower at this point in time here we will continue to drive forward and whatever it takes. and so, certainly there are other things that pop up and require attention, but that means we bring in other people and do whatever it takes. okay? again, i would emphasize if you could come into the public to tap into the website, if you could put that up, it would be great and we would appreciate it. thank you for your time. thanks. >> neil: i don't know what new he have gotten on the fate of mollie tibbett and what is happened in the 27 days since she has disappeared. authorities say they are looking at the timeline since her disappearance almost a month ago, not really giving any clear indications as to where she might've gone and who might have been with her at the time. it is likely that tibbett would have left with someone that she knew. beyond that, there were not any new, dramatic updates since ten days ago. this is riveting to country here, because it appeared to be out of the blue. she disappeared into thin air and nobody seems to know what has become of this young woman. former d.c. detectives with what he gathered from that. there weren't any dramatic, new developments, but i might have missed something. what you think? >> you did not miss anything. they did not give any significant information, as far as i'm concerned. quite naturally, this press conference was held just to ask for the public's help and give them the internet site in which to go to. but one of the things that i gleaned out of this that is rather troubling to me is that the authorities are unwilling to give timeline, and i think that would be essential for the public at this stage, because i was out there in brooklyn iowa, and i would tell you that we know this much about the tyler. timeline. while mike mollie dropped her off at the home. we know that from the timeline that at 7:30 she was seen running around the brooklyn neighborhood. i think it would be helpful to the community to see and say what they have observed after >> report was seen running around the neighborhood. we don't know whether she got home or whether she was actually abducted or what actually happened to mollie. >> neil: you know, much was also said about people changing their appearances, if they shaved a beard, or if they didn't have one and grew it, why mention that? what are they getting it? >> what is going on here is, they have fbi profilers. they have put together a profile of what a person who may very well have been involved in the abduction, and we don't know because they are still carrying this as a missing person. a person who would have been involved in abduction would have done some of the things that they represented, like changing their appearance, or like cleaning and automobile up. some of those kinds of things. those are all put together, by a profiler. >> neil: when you look at this case, what is the normal procedure that you would follow, because you have to retrace steps and go back, in this case, 27 days. when you look at? >> first of all, the thing you look at was when was she last seen? when was she last physically seen by someone? can you follow up from there, or you try to retrace her steps as best you can. you do the digital footprint, because you are trying to find out who she may have been in touch with on her cell phone, who she may have been on the internet with, those things are very significant and important in an investigation. >> neil: all right, it is very unusual, but we will see what happens here. but, thank you for taking the time. authorities have not given us much of an update to go on as tad pointed out, they are continuing to search, now nearly a month old. they are not easing up on that search. we will keep you posted. jim jordan has been kind enough to stand by, maybe the next speaker of the house. very good to see you, congressman, again. let me talk a little bit about that speakership issue. as we know, the ongoing charges of former wrestlers, they seem to have some of the wind taken out of the charges when mark coleman recanted some of his comments. it was not a case of you hiding something or not knowing, or pretending not to know something, what do you make of what he said? >> every single coach, neil, said the same thing that i have said. the reason why they said that is because it is the truth. everyone sees it through that story. we are focused on doing what the american people elected us to do, doing our job, and doing what they sent us to washington to be accomplished. if i get the chance to leave the house, that is exactly what i will be focused on. >> neil: when he said, a star wrestler that you would have to have known earlier, about these charges that the doctor was abusing his kids, and then, recanted it, do you know why he recanted it and said that i was wrong? >> my guess is that he got misunderstood by the press which is something that happens on a fairly regular basis. >> neil: i want to quote exactly those comments were not accurate. >> well, they are not accurate. there would have been no reason for any coach not to have, if this was going on, not to have dealt with it. look, i deal with the student athletes every day, sometimes trained with multiple times times in one day. we want the best for your guys they compete for you and you want them in the right frame of mind. if there is a problem, you're going to do with it. plain and simple. i can only tell you what the truth is. the truth is every single coach when i was there said the exact same thing that i have said and so many wrestlers have come forward and said the exact same thing. the reason they do that is because it is the truth. >> neil: so you don't believe that this should be an issue for you, or you would be open to leading republicans in the hous house. >> i think more importantly, my colleagues don't believe it. everyone sees through the story. everyone understands that it is not accurate, it is not true. they understands what i have told them to be the truth. that is the most important think it what we are focused on, as i have said before, neil, we make the job a congress way too complicated. it is pretty darn simple. what did you tell the american people tell you that you are going to do when you gave them the privilege to serve them? let's focus on that, let's focus on taking on the swamp. let's help president trump, he certainly has been doing it. let's help accomplish the things that we were sent to washington to accomplish. >> neil: did mark coleman contact you to say that he was going to clarify, recanted those comments? >> i have not talked to mr. coleman since this whole thing broke. i have not spoken with him this entire time. >> neil: i want to go on to other news development, as you probably know, the fbi has fired peter strzok over those text messages. 20 think about that? >> it is about time. the american people deserve an fbi agent who is not bias. agent strzok was not that individual. he was the head of counterintelligence, more importantly, he was the lead agent on both the clinton investigation and the trump russian investigation. we now have the investigation, something i have not seen in any federal agency. deputy director mccabe fired. jim baker, chief counsel at the fbi was demoted, then fired. lisa page, fbi demoted, then left, and now you have peter strzok who was demoted and now, fired today. they are the six key people at the top of the fbi, who ran the clinton investigation and launc. >> neil: he said that the firing was politically motivated. he said they were unfairly taken advantage of, protected by the first amendment, and that is political free speech. >> this is the guy that said we will stop trump. this is the guy who thought he was the james bond at the fbi, the super secret agent man. come on, that does not fly, the american people understand it. what we learned last week, neil, from the email exchanges or the top officials, christopher steele, the guy that wrote the dossier, this is amazing what we wrote last week, where the clinton campaign hired him to produce the gpa. bruce ohr's wife, bruce ohr takes the dossier and gives it to the fbi. it is never supposed to operate that way in this great country. that is exactly what happened. we got this confirmed just a few weeks ago when peter strzok was in front of our committee and on the third round of questioning, i finally got him to admit, yes, the fbi was given the dossier from bruce or, whose wife was working for the firm that clinton hired. this is as wrong as it gets. and now the lawyer for peter strzok says he should not have been fired. you have to be kidding me. he should have been fired a long time ago, and thankfully, it happened today. >> neil: a lot of your colleagues are saying it is reason enough for the mueller investigation to be disbanded. it is best for the president not to comment on this matter at all appeared what do you think? >> here is what i know, a year and a half inch of this, or in 13, 14 months into this investigation, there is still not one bit of investigation about coordination, and the trump campaign, and russia to impact election. but what we do know, is that clinton hired the law form who hard christopher steele who worked with nellie ohr who gave the information to bruce ohr, that was given to the fbi to do what? to take this dossier, dress it up -- >> neil: what really the mueller folks are pondering right now. >> we know that they took the dossier to get a warrant to spy on the other campaign. >> neil: so you think that speech when it should shut the thing down? >> i think it should be done as quickly as possible. it should have been on a long time ago. as i said, we see no evidence of coordination. >> neil: do you think that the president should talk to mueller? >> you have to leave it up to the president and his lawyers. it is not a call for you and me to make. >> neil: i understand that, but would you recommend that or would that be a set up in your eyes? >> i would leave that to his lawyers, he has smart lawyers. if they think it should happen, they should do it, if they'd think it shouldn't, they shouldn't do it. what we have discovered in our investigation, and what i also know is that rod rosenstein has been dragging his feet. why do we have to wait this long until last week before we ever saw bruce ohr email between bruce ohr and chris steele? >> multiple types were told on donald trump on michael cohen, similarly taping conversations of donald trump. 20 think about all that? >> it sounds like she did some of this recording in a classified or secured setting. you are never supposed to have any type of device in one of those types of rooms. anytime we walk in for any type of briefing, we have to check our stop at the door. i think that is a problem an end of itself. the fact that you would record the people that you work for, i find that troublesome. i will leave it up to the white house who is going to work for them. >> neil: thank you, we do appreciate that. we will have more after that. and on the tapings and raising eyebrows, why anyone claiming to be a friend would do that. after this. and it's also a story about people. people who rely on us every day to deliver their dreams they're handing us more than mail they're handing us their business and while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget... that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you ♪ >> neil: karen pierce is making waves, saying that the russians law, and lie a lot. she won't stand for it, but she will split down with us, next >> neil: releasing this tape of a meeting with chief of staff in the situation room. let's get the white house reaction to all of this. this is may be breaking some serious protocol. a recent loss. >> hey, there, my friend. on a world wind needed to, the book is called "unhinged." it is about her time at the white house. she is helping her roll out by releasing some secretly recorded conversation between her and the president of the united states. and another conversation she had with the man who fired her, that would be the chief of staff, john kelly. >> i think it is important to understand that if we make this a friendly departure, we can all be -- you can look at your time here in the white house as a year of service to the nation, or you could go on without any type of difficulty in the future relative to your reputation. >> that was recorded conversation in the situation room. it has raised a lot of eyebrows. i should tell you this, neil, point blank, it was suggested to me by an administrative professional, that she was, at times. that recording is being criticized by the administration including the president of the s favorite social media platform, no surprise. he calls omarosa, "wacky." now she is gotten fired for the last time. he goes on to say, she never made it, never will pay it she begged me for a job, tears in her eyes. i said okay. people in the white house hated her. she was vicious, but not smart. i would really see her, but heard really bad things. he goes on to say, nasty to people, was constantly missing from work. when john kelly came aboard he told me that she was nothing but a loser, told him to work it out if possible, because she said only great things about me until she got fired." i should also point this out, apparently omarosa had suggested that the president is a bit of a puppet. she has suggested in a number of interviews, in fact, she is said on the air that she feels that this white house is being run almost exclusively by the president's chief of staff, general john kelly. if you don't believe her, she invites you now to listen to a bit of a conversation that she had with the president, himself, who she suggests was completely unaware of her firing, the day before. listen here. >> what's going on on the news that you are thinking about leaving? what happened? >> general kelly came to me and said that you guys wanted me to leave. >> no, nobody even told me about it. they run a big operation, but i did not know it. i did not know that. i don't love you leaving at all. >> here is the question. was he putting on there? was he acting like he did not know? or maybe he did not really know? john kelly does run a large ship, and it is a large operation. that certainly is a violation. you heard congressman saying that is a violation of the white house to take a recording device into the situation room. but i'm not sure that it violates any laws. i've talked to a few attorneys, and while dicey, it may not have violated any specific law. >> neil: i'm sure. kevin, thank you very much. let's go to mark, the former press secretary for vice president. what do you think about this? >> it is disappointing. it is disappointing that she decided to leave on these terms and handled her post service this way by trashing the administration that she spent years defending. if ending the president including the day that she left. she was out there saying that he is not a racist, he is doing good work, and resigned only that she is trying to sell book books. she is making up all these claims. >> neil: she has a lot of tapes. that's all that maybe there could be, other than personnel, where does this end? why does this happen? with michael cohen, as well, a former lawyer taping conversations, who does that? >> i'm not sure. it is something that you always have to think about when you're having these conversations. even conversations that i've not been leaked. >> do you know from conversations that your colleagues used to work with? are they checking people for devices? that sort of thing? >> i would not say checking devices. there was a policy to ban personal cell phones and the white house, in the west wing, earlier this year. that is because of hacking potential. >> neil: how do they enforce that? do they do a search or what? >> there are closets with lockers right inside the doors of the west wing where you would leave your personal cell phones. i did that, just last week leaving the white house in traveling with the vice president. you definitely do that when you go into the situation room i'm aware it is completely inappropriate. so, it is unfortunate, she could have taking the path of celebrating the great accomplishment that the president is having with african-american on appointment, helping out so many others in organizations that she is passionate about your cheetos a different route and finds herself dealing with it. >> neil: everyone is following, and muttering, it gets people on the defense. >> i have been in government service a long time. my biggest fear is that if we start getting into a point that our elected officials at any level, state, local, and federal, can't have honest discussions with their staff or the stats cannot communicate amongst each other to help advise those leaders, then we are doing a disservice to our country and society. but, we are living in an era where i see something that is standard operating procedure, it is considered hush money. i will tell you, when i left the white house in october to join the president and vice president's political team, i signed a nondisclosure agreement. it looks very similar if not identical to the one that omarosa signed when she was offered an opportunity to signed the campaign. it is not hush money, i was paid to talk more, not less. >> neil: normally, when you're recording someone, in the case of michael cohen, he said only good things about donald trump, they felt differently. >> it is unfortunate when you see people turning on people who have long supported them, built their careers -- >> neil: what you think made them turn? >> in this case, i think it is the almighty dollar. it is the opportunity to score a very large book deal. >> neil: what about in the michael cohen case? >> i am not sure. i do not want to get it to his motives. i think he has legal issues that he is facing. that might have contributed to that. when you are contributed with somebody like omarosa and is trying to sell a book, her stories have changed moment to moment. from december to now, you cannot keep up with her. >> neil: marc, thank you very, very much appeared thanks for taking the time. just in case that the russians thought that the british would back down and get us to back down over these charges of nerve agent attacks on journalists, they have another think coming when it came to the ambassador of the united nations from great britain. she is here. she is next. e that 1 in 30 boomers has, yet most don't even know it. a virus that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. hep c can hide in the body for years without symptoms. left untreated it can lead to liver damage, even liver cancer. the only way to know if you have hep c is to ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us, it's time to get tested. it's the only way to know for sure. for us, it's time to get tested. when mit rocked our world.ailed we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you?

>> if that is right. they actually have some 25 explanations of what happened. >> neil: that is true. it evolved from being attacked, to being fired upon itself. >> but we believe that the poison was planted by russian agents. he and his daughter came in contact with. a woman has died, and her partner has been made seriously ill by coming in contact with the same sort of substance. we have sent samples to the international body that is in charge of the prohibition of chemical weapons, and we wait to see if they agree with the analysis with the substance and the second substance are the same. >> neil: there are a lot of people that do very questionable things and poisonings. the russians are saying that they are being set up. >> we would say that it was used as a military grade. it would've had to have been a state agent. the russians have the means and have the motive, and they have the form. we believe that there is no other plausible explanation but that it was the russians. we didn't give them the chance right at the start to talk to us about this, and even work with us to try and resolve the issue, but they rejected that. >> neil: when you say that they rejected it, how did they reject it? >> we gave them a deadline and invited us to respond to us, and did not respond and said that they would not. we believe that we tried to work this through with tom them, buy left no alternative but to talk to our allies including america for sanctions to be taken against russia. >> neil: a lot of cynics, especially those saying that the president is beholden to the russians. adding to those sanctions, where did you think of those? >> the administration has been extremely supportive. they have expelled russian diplomats, a number of european allies, following what we did in london. and the administration has more sanctions of chemical and biological weapons that congress has passed, we are extremely grateful for that support. we have worked very closely with america and reaching the conclusion that we did and taking the measures. we will stay in very close touch with them. the most important thing is that you should not be allowed to use chemical weapons. they are one of the nastiest weapons that there is. they have been prohibited for decades, about 100 years. we need to take action at these things are going to be used in modern times. >> neil: it is interesting and syria, and russia, and in the united states, you do wonder about the consistent charges and the sort of cases from journalists, to those who challenge vladimir putin, many meet the same fate. maybe not the same poison. >> i don't want to comment too much on russian motivations. i said before, the real danger is that russia is forgetting international norms. they are forgetting the rules of the international system. the rules that have kept us all safe and prosperous since 1945. and syria in the security council, they have vetoed it resolutions some 12 times. i think it is a pretty powerful statement from moscow as to what they think of the international system. we have no quarrel with the russian people, but we would like to see a different approach from the russian government. >> neil: but when you deal, of course, with the russian minister, or the russian ambassador, it looks like he gets very, very nasty, to put it mildly. you will not relinquish, you will not let go. he almost seems to be on the verge of, like, storming out. how did the last session go? >> we had a robust exchange of views. >> neil: a robust exchange of views, i like that. >> outside the security council, diplomats trying to keep relationships and reasonable repair. we want to have a productive relationship with the russians on other issues. we try and keep things civilized, but in the chamber, yes, it can get very heated. we both put our points across. i do not like to lose. >> neil: that is very obvious. it is interesting, in this country, there have been a lot of back-and-forth in terms of the president and how the meeting with vladimir putin went. how do you think it went? >> the president was able to put some points across. the president, i think, is someone who believes in personal relationships. it would be nice to think that that would be reciprocated. and that moscow and washington could work together on problems like syria, helped by the u.n., held by countries by u.k., france, and germany. they have been gone for a very long time now, very bad things are happening there for the syrian people. i think anything that can be done to promote -- >> neil: the criticism that you've heard from the president not being tough enough on vladimir putin, we don't know what was said. >> exactly that. i think historically, if you look back to the start of the syria conflict in 2011, i think it would be hard to say, honestly, that enough was done to try and resolve this conflict. what we would like to do is work with the americans and others to help that you and make progress the politics, get a political practice going, perhaps a new constitution. get some of those poor refugees home. >> neil: in the meantime, ambassador, john bolton, we are told met with the turkish ambassador today. they continue -- it could lead to global turmoil. what do you make of the administration stand, the president, that if you don't believe this, you don't make some more humanitarian efforts, we are upping the ante, we are doubling the tariffs, we are going full throttle, what you think of that? america are our nato allies. we value the relationship. they have in the past been extremely close to each other. i think this is a particular issue that the two countries need to work out between them. i had not known this ambassador that he had met the turkish ambassador, but that has to be a good step forward. >> neil: would all of this go away, do you think, if the past were released, the administration pushing the turks to release? do you think he could ease the crisis at hand? >> possibly, i know there are other issues. turkey is a modern democracy. we do look to her to follow the rule of law, followed due process appeared we have ourselves, in the past, called for the release of people from precrime to tens appeared we need to keep working with turkey on some of these judicial aspects. >> neil: many have read, ambassador, the president's tough stance on turkey, as well as vladimir putin that his actions speak far more strongly than his words or the perception of his words. do you agree with that? donald trump gets a bomb wrap but not being tough enough on leaders he is supposedly tied with. >> i think every person has their own style. i think this particular president is not a diplomat. i think that he would not mind me saying that. >> neil: he might say the same of you. [laughs] >> i am paid to be a diplomat, so must not be very good at my job. payment in the >> neil: in the united nations, when you raise the issue and come up with a chemical weapon, you have no problem going to the side. do you think we need to see more of that? it is almost too polite, too colloquial, too pc, for lack of a better term. >> i think it is brilliant to call out issues as she sees them. i try and do the same. i think it is very important that the rest of that membership, u.n. membership seat that you have a proper issue to deal with that you are not vexatious. everyone was shocked by poisoning in an english city of ordinary people, and i think that that has really struck home, and it has focus people's minds on the events in syria on how awful these weapons are and how more needs to be done to make sure that it is really prohibited. >> neil: i like the way that you framed that, ambassador, the death of an individual, it could have been at least, and one of the major metropolitans of the world. stepping back from all of this, what do you think vladimir putin is doing these days? and whether he is trying to reassert himself on the global stage? what you think? >> i remove are working with russia when i was a younger diplomat i remember working with russia on the bolton's, i remember working with russia and the middle east. i think it is a pity that russia is moving away from that sort of cooperation to a much more aggressive, and competitive stance. some of this is about seeking to set the rules for how international affairs are conducted, moving away from the rules-based system that we have all worked with. but, we do try to work with russia in this counsel. i don't want to give the impression that we never succeed on issues like yemen, african issues, we have been able to work closely with the russians and chinese, and i think that is for the good of international peace and security. on some of the really big issues like syria and chemical weapons, the russians have a different view from us, they have different motivations. i think they are close to being maverick. we would like it if they came back into the fold and worked to those terms to restore peace. >> neil: if they were to use chemical weapons on his people again -- >> the french and the americans, we have said that we would shoulder our international responsibilities. >> neil: you go even further than launching missiles in key positions? >> i don't know how far we would go. that would be for our ministers and politicians to determine in light of the circumstances. i can assure you that we will shoulder our international responsibilities. >> neil: the reaction that you get when this is the case, is what? >> i think it is interesting that the russians last time tried to pass a resolution in the security council, condemning the american-british accent. i got three votes. in 1999, they tried the same on kosovo, and that too got three votes. that shows you the majority of the international community is with us. >> neil: karen pierce, thank you very much. that will do it. >> i am jesse watters with kennedy, juan williams, dana perino, antivirus. it's 5:00 in new york city, this is "the five" ." a lot of breaking news out of washington. the fbi finally tells disgraced anti-trump official peter strzok, you're fired. the former agent played a lead role in the russia and hillary clinton email investigations. omarosa is continuing her tax on the white house after

[applause] american is a peaceful nation. if conflict is forced upon us, we will fight and we will win. right, general? right? right? [applause] better believe it, generals. they're the guys. we're powered by the unstoppable force of the united states army. very special. for the new authorization, we will increase the size and strength of our military by adding thousands of new recruits to active duty, reserve and national guard units, including 4,000 new active duty soldiers. and we will replace aging tanks, aging planes and ships with the most advanced and lethal technology ever developed, and hopefully we'll be so strong that we'll never have to use it. if we ever did, nobody has a chance. it all includes 135 brand new beautiful m-1 abrams tanks, 60 bradley fighting vehicles and over 3,000 joint life tactical vehicles for the army armored brigade combat team. new blackhawk and apache helicopters, fine nest the world, for the army national guard, 77 f-35 joint strike fighters. you know, stealth. i talked to a couple great pilots. i said how are they? they said they're hard to beat. you can't see them. always hard to beat the enemy when you can't see it. the greatest in the world. full funding for the b-21 raider bomber program, 13 new battle force ships and support ships including a fourth four-class aircraft carrier and three additional lateral combat ships. funding to modernize our nuclear arsenal. so important. we're doing a major upgrade of our missile defense. we're spending a tremendous amount of money on our nuclear arsenal. nobody will have close. we will hopefully never ever have to use it. but nobody will be close. more than $11 billion for the military construction, including family housing. we're proudly giving our troops the biggest pay increase in a decade. i know you don't want it because you're very patriotic. you'll say pay the money, we'll pay down debt. nobody not want it? raise your hand. what's going on here? are these real patriots? i don't know, general. the biggest increase in a decade. a strong military also requires a strong economy and our economy is setting records like never before. we have the greatest economy we've ever had. i think that's going to help us a lot, in a lot of ways. also helps us a lot in funding, doing all of the things we're doing for our great military. we created almost four million new jobs since the election. a number that the media in the back would never have said would be possible, if during the campaign. [applause] i'm so proud of myself. i didn't call them the fake news media. i didn't call them. i said to myself, i will not today in front of our great armed forces call them fake news. we know the truth but we won't see it today. they wouldn't have believe it possible, four million new jobs. nobody would have thought that possible on the campaign trail. if we were campaigning, mike, if i would have said that, if i would have said two million new jobs, people would have laughed us off the stage. we have four million new jobs. something i'm very proud of, the african american-hispanic american and asian american. the unemployment rates for all three have reached the lowest levels in the history of our country. unemployment for african american, hispanic, asians. the lowest level in the history of our country. [applause] women's unemployment, i'm sorry, is not doing as well. it's only the lowest level in 65 years. so we're not doing as well.

[applause] and we are creating manufacturing jobs again. remember, during the campaign they said you can't create manufacturing jobs. i said really? we're not going to make things anymore? we're going to have other countries make things and we're going to buy them and they have the jobs and we're not? doesn't work that way. we're doing manufacturing jobs at the fastest pace in many, many decades. no longer are we apologizing for america. instead, we're now standing up for america. it's called "america first" if that's okay with you. [cheers & applause] we're standing up for our military and we're standing up for our great american flag. we're standing for our flag. [applause] the armed forces have endured continuous combat for the past 17 years, yet since the 1990s, the number of soldiers on active duty was cut by more than a 1/3. our bases and vital equipment were allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. i saw some of them, total disrepair. those days are over. every day the army is fighting for us. now we are fighting for you. 100%. [applause] no one better understands how stretched our military has become than the soldiers of the tenth mountain division. is that right, general? you were the first conventional combat force to deploy after 9-11. since then, no division in the army has been deplored more times to iraq and afghanistan than you. you sent over 9,000 courageous soldiers to 26 different countries all around the world in the past year alone. the second brigade combat team just returned from a rotation at the joint readiness training center. later this year, they will once again bravely answer our nation's call and deploy to afghanistan. through it all, you have proven to the world, to our country, to your families that ft. drum soldiers aren't just tough. you're mountain tough. that's what you are. [applause] i said to you, general, what is the difference? he said, sir, trust me, there's a difference. i said i trust you. right? i said don't go into it. i trust you. one of those soldiers is specialist braden cook who is with us today. where is braden? braden, good location. very good. [applause] last october, his team came under heavy fire while cleaning and clearing. clearing out taliban strong holds in various locations in afghanistan. an afghan soldier fighting alongside u.s. troops was badly wounded when an explosive detonated nearby. specialist cook braved hail of bullets and mortar rounds all over. they said it was all over. it was heavy fire. saving the life of that wounded soldier and earning a bronze star for valor for his courageous action. braden, i want to thank you. brave young man. thank you. please stand up again, braden. [applause] we're also inspired by the devotion to duty shown by family members that served their nation here at home. ashley shepherd is one of those family members. she's been married through sergeant first class ian shepherd for more than 14 years. ashley supports military families in every way you can imagine. she's served as a family readiness group leader, co-leader, treasurer and assistant treasurer for three companies. she works hard. she raises money for scholarships, organizes charity events for gold star families and feeds homeless veterans. ashley, i want to thank you. where is ashley? i had a feeling that was you. stand up, ashley. [applause] thank your husband, too. thank you. america is eternally grateful for every soldier, service member and family member here at ft. drum. we're forever in the debt of every american who has ever served our nation in uniform. from the snows of valley forge to the jungles of vietnam and the mountains of afghanistan, it's just incredible what you do. a few days ago, vice president pence flew to hawaii to greet the remains of our nation's greatest heros. our fallen warriors that gave their lives many years ago in korea. now these american heros with finally starting to come home. they will be laid to rest on american soil. we believe in no american left behind. [applause] and we believe our war fighters deserve the tools, the equipment and resources they have earned with their blood, sweat and tears. if a few moments, in honor of that sacred obligation, i will put my signature on the national defense authorization act. this authorization will give america's war fighters the firepower they need to win any conflict quickly and decisively. thanks to the leadership of representative stefanik, we're making an unprecedented commitment to developing our artificial intelligence capabilities in order to maintain america's military supremacy, we must always be on the cutting edge. that is why we are all so proudly reasserting america's lega leadership in space. our competitors have begun weaponizing space. developing new technologies to disrupt vital communications, blind satellites and just -- look at what they're doing, they have given me run-downs. i've seen things that you don't want to see what they're doing and how advance they are. we'll be catching them very shortly. they want to jam transmissions which threaten our battlefield operations and so many other things. we will be so far ahead of them in a very short time, your head will spin. china even launched a new military division to oversee its war fighting programs in space. just like the air, the land, the sea, space has become a war-fighting domain. it's not enough to merely have an american presence in space. we must have american dominance in space. that is why just a few days ago the vice president outlined my administration's plan to create a sixth branch of the united states military called the united states space force. [applause] got to get it, joe. right, joe? we will ensure that the next great chapter in history is written by the heros of the united states military. america will always rise to every challenge and overcome every danger because we are backed by the strength and power of the american soldier. speaking to his troops, general george patton, a great one, once said, where's "we have the finest equipment on earth and the best men in the world." if it were today, he would be saying the best men and women in the world. things do change. that was quite a statement many years ago. continuing his remarks, patton then declared "i don't want to get any messages saying i'm holding my position". we're not holding a damn thing. we're advancing constantly. that was patton. nearly 75 years later, patton's words still ring true. america has the best equipment anywhere in the world. we have the best spirit, the best soldiers ever to set foot on any battled field anywhere at any time. we're the most powerful. we're the best funded. we're the biggest. we're the strongest. we're the smartest. we are still not holding a damn thing because america is on the move once again. we're not backing down. our country is respected again. i don't know if you see it, but america is respected again. it's a big difference and a big difference in the air. you take a look around. there's a big, beautiful difference. we're advancing forward with our confidence renewed, our might restored and the unwavering conviction that our destiny is our victory. america's future is safe, sound and brighter than ever. because each of you is mountain tough, mountain proud and mountain strong and always will be climbing to glory. you will be climbing to glory. thank you again for the incredible men and women of ft. drum. special, special great people. god bless our troops, god bless the united states of america. i'd now like to invite a few of our fantastic soldiers from the tenth mountain division to join me on stage to sign the national defense authorization act. it's been an honor to be with you today. thank you very much. thank you. [cheers & applause] [applause] [cheers & applause] thank you very much, everybody. a great honor. thank you. >> shepard: president trump just wrapping up a speech to the good folks, men and women at ft. drum upstate in new york and signing the defense authorization bill bearing john mccain's name. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon. tell us about the bill, jennifer. >> shepard, what is interesting, we've had several years of budget cuts, budget caps. this defense bill does more than any other bill to reverse that. the president very proudly stated that he wants more planes, more ships. he's going to reverse the readiness problem that after 17 years of constant war has plagued the military. this is the earliest a president has signed the annual defense authorization bill into law since 1977. puts the trump administration on track to appropriate a defense budget without a continuing resolution for the first time in a decade. that is a huge relief to pentagon planners who say the budget process until now has led to huge amounts of waste here in the pentagon. the $716 billion defense bill authorizes billions to rebuild military equipment, it will address the readiness issues, includes a pay raise. 2.6% for troops. the largest in nine years. a new aircraft carrier, 13 new battleships, two virginia class submarines, 250 million for expanding the submarine industrial base, 77 f-35 fifth generation joint strike fighters, funding to develop low yield nuclear weapons. according to the chairman of the house armed services committee, the increased funding sends a strong message to russia and china confounding trump critics that say he's not doing enough to stop russian aggression, shep. >> shepard: jennifer, if you could, tell us how it pushes back against russia. >> all of that equipment is being procured not to fight terrorists as most of the wars have been fought, focusing on counter terrorism but to get back to great power competition with an eye to russian and china in particular. here's some examples. the bill requires the president to designate a national security council employee to coordinate the interagency fight against maligned foreign influence operations including election interference. that is a direct response to russian interference in the last election. it includes $6.3 billion to re-assure u.s. partners and allies and increase the u.s. military presence in europe. it bars military to military cooperation with russia, even if the president were to order the u.s. military to cooperate with the russian military in syria. it bars that. it ties the hands of the president in recognizing russia's annexation of crimea. there's literally dozens of provisions that target russian aggression specifically. it's spelled out in a way that i have not seen before, shepard. >> shepard: jennifer griffin at the pentagon. thanks so much. we were waiting to see whether the president might say anything about some of the other headlines of the day. he did not. we'll get into them now. starting with agent peter strzok, fired from his job at the fbi. peter strzok is the agent that sent anti-trump text messages and others during the 2016 presidential election to his then lover and former fbi lawyer, lisa page. peter strzok worked on hillary clinton's e-mail investigation and later the special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation. once word of the text messages got out, mueller immediately removed him from his team. president trump has repeatedly slammed peter strzok on twitter pointing to the agent as a reason not to trust what he calls "the rigged witch hunt investigation." during a congressional hearing last month, peter strzok argued there was no evidence of any bias in his professional actions. the chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge live. what is the response from the strzok team? >> we got a statement earlier from strzok's attorney. he confirmed details about his client's termination. he said strzok was fired friday afternoon by the deputy director of the fbi and the attorney alleged that the deputy director overruled the recommendation of the fbi's internal ethics panel that had recommended a 60-day suspension and further demotion of agent strzok. part of the statement reads "the decision to fire special agent strzok is not only a departure from practice, but assurances that the fbi intended to follow this process. this decision should be deeply troubling to all americans." it's important to note that at the access security forum in july, the fbi director said he felt the bureau got into trouble under director comey because they were not following procedures and processes to the letter. let's listen. >> there's a pending personnel matter. as i said, i want to make sure we're following our process, doing things by the book. our inspector general report has referred a number of individuals to our disciplinary process. i think it's very, very important that we let that process without delay work itself through and get the results as opposed to responding to hugh and cry. >> we heard from one analyst today that suggested. so this is their analysis, that the fbi fired peter strzok because more information may come to light that suggested there will be further action in his case. the deputy director andrew mccabe was fired for lying to federal agents about his media contacts in 2016 and that could lead to a criminal prosecution. they must have turned up the fountain, shep, just for our hit. >> shepard: very nice of them. regarding this, what is the reaction across the district? >> okay. the fbi has declined to comment on strzok's termination. that's standard. they do not comment on personnel matters. as you would expect, the president took to twitter within an hour after this information was confirmed. agent strzok was said to be fired because of the hillary clinton investigation and a total fraud on the american public and should be properly redone. the president is making this connection between strzok on the e-mail case and strzok on the russia case saying they ought to relook at the work he dried back in 2015 and 2016, shep. >> shepard: catherine herridge, alexandria, virginia. president trump is unleashing on his former white house aide, omarosa calling her wacky, a loser and not smart after she released another secret recording. this time she says of the president himself. this is not a bed. it's a revolution in sleep. the new sleep number 360 smart bed, from $999... intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts on each side to keep you both comfortable. and snoring?

i saw on the news that you're thinking about leaving. what happened? >> general kelly came to me and said that you guys wanted me to leave. >> no, nobody told me about it. nobody -- they run a big operation. i didn't know it. i didn't know that. >> yeah. >> dammit. i don't love you leaving at all. >> that from nbc this morning. omarosa also said that president trump has no clue what is going on in the white house. she already released another recording of john kelly firing her. she says she secretly recorded that in the white house situation room, a room where digital devices are not allowed and supposed to be among the secure places on the planet. she's promoting a new build built as a tell-all calling him a con and a racist that is mentally declined. the president fired back in a statement and said "wacky omarosa that got fired three times on "the apprentice" now got fired for the last time. she begged me for a job, tears in her eyes. i said okay. people in the white house hated her. she was vicious but not smart. i would rarely see her, but heard really bad things. nasty to people and would constantly miss meetings and work. when generally kelly came on board he said she was a loser and nothing but problems. i told him to try to work it out because she said great things about me until she got fired." now real questions do remain. for instance, those of security when it comes to the situation room. what a scorned former friend might do next. trace gallagher with more on this. he's live with us this afternoon. trace? >> shep, this could be the tip of the iceberg. omarosa said she had multiple tapes at the white house and she did it for her own protection and decided if she will release them publicly. so far, she's pulled very few punches. she claims without citing any evidence that she heard a tape of trump using the n word of nbc's "the apprentice". most experts say they violate national security violation and would never be granted a security clearance. legal experts are torn on whether she broke the law. as for omarosa, she said she's not worried about the fall out. watch. >> there's a lot of very corrupt things happening in the white house and i am going to blow the whistle on a lot of this. >> are you concerned at all about any legal consequences for taping -- >> no. >> he doesn't know what is happening in his white house. general kelly, john kelly, is running this white house and donald trump has no clue what is going on. his being puppeted. it's very dangerous for this nation. >> in response to that today show interview, the president tweeted while it's not presidential to take on low lives like omarosa and while i would rather not be doing so, this is a modern day form of communication and i know the fake news media will be working overtime to make even wacky omarosa look legitimate as possible. sorry. the president says omarosa signed a nondisclosure agreement. omarosa said she never signed it. shep? >> shepard: thanks, trace. remember last year president trump invited harley-davidson executives to the white house? the president talked up their work, predicted the company would grow in the united states. >> thank you, harley-davidson for building things in america. i think you'll even expand. i know your business is now doing very well. >> shepard: as cavuto might say, that was then, this is now. the president tweeted now many harley-davidson owners would boycott the company if manufacturing moves overseas. a really bad move. the u.s. will soon have a level playing field or better. back in march, president trump announced plans to hit european countries with steel and aluminum tariffs. e.u. leaders retaliated. harley-davidson reported that the company would lose about $100 million each year. so they announced plans to move production out of the united states. return to john bussey for the "wall street journal." he's also a fox news contributor and happens to work in madrid for an extended period. so harley, there's problems. >> yeah. this is the law of unintended consequences. this isn't what the president wanted to have happen. on the other hand, he's facing similar problems from harley from other parts of american industry that has been hurt by the tariffs. agriculture farmers and agriculture businesses hurt by tariffs that china put on their goods as a result of the tariffs on chinese products from the steel companies, aluminum companies, particularly in the u.s., some of whom get their products, components for their products or supplies from canada and they're seeing prices go up. so the president is contending with a lot of input from business that session the tariffs are having unintended consequences, harley-davidson is the latest, some of this may have been intended anyway. they may have started building motorcycles abroad. they've been doing so for years in brazil. some of this may have been in the works. they're given good cover to shift even more broad by a result of the tariffs. >> shepard: many are aware that the second largest military in all of nato behind the united states is turkey. there's big problems with turkey with its government, with the way it's treating its people, with its money especially and tariffs as well. john, what are we seeing here? do we know yet as relates to turkey? >> yeah, it looks like so far that this is a circumstance that is primarily a turkish one. it's not for all emerging markets. there's concern what is happening in turkey. the value of the lira dropping significantly because the country has a lot of debt. that's denominated in foreign currencies. when the cost of servicing the debt goes up, the currency plummeted as a result, this happened over seas in earlier years. 1994, the peso. 98, the russian financial crisis and in years subsequent to that. turkey so far seems to be its own problem because it has a disproportionate amount of dealt abroad and political turmoil in turkey. you never just know. you never know what the knock-on effects will be. banks in spain have been damaged by this because they have loans out to turkey. u.s. consumers have to watch what operations are in turkey and in the u.s. and whether or not their stock prices are hurt as well. >> shepard: the "wall street journal" has been covering the decline in the situation in turkey. for thousands of turkish citizens that are locked up for political reasons, this may appear to be a crisis raging out of control. >> yeah, that and the u.s. has made it sort of one of their own political initiatives. there's an american there that was locked up in the course of this political tumult in turkey. the president wants him out of jail. as a result of a lot of things including drop in the value of the lira, he will significantly increase the tariffs that have been put on turkish steel and aluminum. turkey says this is economic warfare. the biggest significance of this is what are nations going to think when the u.s. does use tariffs for political purposes? what are countries going to say about doing business in the united states or doing business with the united states if it can't rely on fair market rule of law to govern that business? >> shepard: john bussey from wall stre"wall street journal." thank you. how did an airline worker steal a plane before crashing it in washington state?
