States of emergency along the southeastern sea board with florida, georgia and the carolinas are null the strike zone all in the strike zone. We will have the latest forecast and we will speak with North Carolina governor roy cooper about the preparations underway in his state. But first, police now looking into a motive for a deadly mass shooting in west texas. They say a gunman opened fire on officers during a traffic stop on an interstate, i20 near midland then took offshooting at people randomly from his car as he made his way west to odessa even carjacking a u. S. Postal vehicle, killing at least four people and wounding at least 20 before Police Killed him in a shootout. We will hear from the Texas Attorney general in a minute. We begin with correspondent mike tobin in odessa, texas. Good morning, mike. Good morning, mike. The latest update from police is that of the five people who died out here, one of them was the gunman. Four of them were victims of the gunman. All started with a traffic stop. Texas state troopers pulled over a vehicle for failing to use a turn signal. Put a rifle out the window of the vehicle and fired injuring one state trooper. We have an active shooter. [inaudible]. What is the status of the trooper . They are working on the trooper right now. Shooter is in a toyota heading westbound towards odessa. The rampage was on in the direction of odessa. The gunman shot two Police Officers, one from midland, one from odessa. He continued on i 20, shot another man there. And the rampage took him to east odessa, where apparently he sprayed bullets at random targets. At least 21 people were shot and injured. At some point, the gunman left his vehicle. He took a mail truck and drove that mail truck to the synergy movie theater. Thats where Police Caught up with him and killed him. Shooting right there. He hit the barrier get down, get down, get down. Get down stand still hes shooting them. Hes shooting them. Of the injured, one was a 17 month old child in a car seat. Witnesses say she was shot through the shoulder, airlifted to lubbock hospital. Ten of the injured at last notification from the hospitals were in critical condition. The gunman is only described as a white male in his 30s. Were waiting on an update from police. That was scheduled for a short time. Its now been delayed till noon local time. Mike . Mike tobin leading us off from odessa, texas. Our thoughts and prayers to the good folks there. Thank you, mike. Lets bring in Texas Attorney general ken paxton. General, great to have you this morning. Mike, i appreciate it. Obviously a tough day in texas. Tough day in florida. No doubt about it. Any word on a motive at this point, sir . No, you know, as you know, its difficult when the shooter is killed to quickly assess what the motive was. It was a lot easier in the last case, in el paso, since we had a shooter that didnt die. So it becomes a lot more challenging for us and for Law Enforcement in general when the shooter is killed. Mike have you learned more about the shooter . Well, there is definitely an Ongoing Investigation that mostly our department of Public Safety is heading up, and so yes, they are they will be working through that this weekend and i think we will be learning a lot over the next couple of days. Mike four weeks ago it was an attack, 300 miles to the west of odessa in el paso. Any initial thoughts on what more texas may be able to do to try to keep this from happening again . Thats a great question. The governor has put together a Domestic Terrorism Task force. We just met on friday. This is a horrific problem that we want to find a way to stop. And so we brought in the best of the best, from not just state, but federal and were seeking answers to that question to see if theres more things, which we believe there are, more things that we can do to stop this from happening in the future or at least when it happens get to it quicker. Mike what about a federal response . What if anything do you want from congress. You know, at this point, you know, i would want them doing the same thing were doing which is trying to figure out, you know, what kinds of practices would change this from happening or at least allow us to respond more quickly . I think, you know, asking the questions is the right thing to do at this point and then looking for answers is what were all trying to do. Mike i started my career in midland odessa texas so i know the good folks out there very well. It sounds like some heroic efforts from the various Law Enforcement agencies. General, im sure you want to talk about them. Oh my gosh, those guys are amazing. You know, they risk their lives every day. In this case they were literally putting their lives on the line. Several of them shot. Fortunately at this point they are all alive, but these guys are amazing, what theyre willing to do to protect us, every single day. Mike Texas Attorney general ken paxton, our best to you and the great people of texas. Thanks, mike. Thanks for your prayers. Appreciate it. Mike dorian strengthening into a catastrophic category 5 hurricane right now closing in on the northern bahamas as it takes a slow march towards our atlantic coast. Senior meteorologist janice dean is in the fox extreme weather center. Good morning, janice. Hi, mike. Already breaking records with this hurricane. The strongest hurricane now in the northern part of the atlantic ocean. 175 milesperhour sustained winds, gusts up to 200 milesperhour, and the outer core of winds now moving into the northwestern bahamas. They need our prayers. This storm could completely cause catastrophic damage. Were talking about 30 feet of storm surge. Perhaps rather 20 feet of storm surge. 30 inches of rainfall and relentless major hurricane winds, for not only hours but days because this storm is going to slow down, and thats where im concerned, not only for the bahamas, but the east coast of florida, and the latest track has this storm moving a little bit more to the west, so instead of focusing on the center, i need everyone to focus on this cone because if this storm jogs a little bit, say, 30 miles to the west, were not talking just Tropical Storm force wind conditions. Were talking about hurricaneforce wind conditions all up the coast. The storm surge piling in inches of rainfall and then at least a major hurricane wind gusts along the coastline for several days. This is monday. This is tomorrow. This is tuesday. This is wednesday. Still a major hurricane. And then we get into thursday and friday, still talking about a hurricane. Perhaps brushing but coming very close to landfall along the southeast coast. I will tell you, mike, we have not had a lot of consistency with these computer models. So its not an easy forecast, because of the fact that it is going to slow down, and in some cases, 4 to 5 miles an hour and that could make the difference from, again, a Tropical Storm force winds to a hurricaneforce wind in a prolonged period of time. Waters are very warm here. We could see a category 5 for 12, 24 hours. And theres not that much of a difference between a 5 and a 4, as it comes very close to land. Theres the latest computer models, and as i mentioned, mike, this is concerning to me because it gets wider. This is the center, so if you have got the center here moving on shore, thats close to a landfall, and that is a prolonged period of time of major hurricaneforce winds, storm surge, and inches, if not feet of rainfall. Thats the take away here. We havent had a really good solid forecast here. I can tell you whats going to happen in 12 hours, but what happens in 24 hours, 48 hours, still yet to be determined. Dont focus on the center. Focus on the whole cone, and that means the coast is not clear for florida, georgia, and the carolinas. So important to listen to your local weather forecasters. They are trying to save lives here and your local officials, especially now in florida. I have a feeling you might be seeing some evacuations very soon. Mike great advice, janice dean, thank you very much. Okay. Mike joining me now by phone is North Carolina governor roy cooper. Great to have you this morning, governor. Good morning. Mike dorian is a category 5 storm. How alarmed are you by its strengthening . Well, here in North Carolina, we are hoping and praying for the best, but preparing for the worst. Unfortunately, we have experience with this. North carolina has been hit by two major hurricanes in less than three years. Mike uhhuh. We are ready, know what to do, and we are preparing as we speak. Were hoping this thing continues to turn eastward and away from the coast, but its very erratic at the moment. We worry about obviously the strong winds, but the water both from river flooding and storm surge and flash floods. We know too well how much this can affect the lives of North Carolina people. So were getting ready today, opening doing a partial opening of our Emergency Operations center at 1 00 today. We will be fully opened in the morning at 7 00 a. M. Mike theres been a big build up with it being such a slowmoving storm. After declaring a state of emergency last night, do you feel like state resources are ready, sir . They will be. And in fact, this is one of the problems weve had with the last two storms is that they were so slow moving. We have we are preparing our shelters. We are in close contact with all of our county and federal partners. We will have a fema person on site, probably by this afternoon. One of the things that is key to preparing for a storm is making sure your First Responders and swift water access are deployed where they need to be. Right now all of our eastern assets are remaining there, and as the storm gets closer and maybe toward a predicted path on the coast, we will move our swift water assets and more First Responders from the west to the east. Our National Guard is on alert. Were working closely with the red cross to make sure that their shelter packages are ready. Our department of transportation has suspended all road work, and they will be ready to clear major passages in the event that storm is here, and we know that we have to take this in a staging take a staging approach because we want to be careful with taxpayer resources. We know it costs money to get ready, and i think most people would rather us be prepared than caught flat footed here, so we will be incrementally ratcheting up particularly as we look at the forecast. I know that some of the eastern counties, the locals are meeting regarding potential evacuation plans. That is not yet something we will be doing, but well be ready for all of it. Mike North Carolina governor roy cooper. Our best to you and your people. Best of luck with this storm. Thanks a lot. Best of luck to everybody along the east coast, and were certainly thinking today about the people in texas as well. Mike amen, thank you, sir. Stay with Fox News Channel as we continue to follow all the latest developments on dorians projected track as well as the shooting in texas.

Biotene definitely works. [heartbeat] mike an update from west texas where officials now say at least 7 people have died as a result of yesterdays mass shooting in midland and odessa. Joining me now is republican congressman from arizona andy biggs. He sits on the House Judiciary Committee, co chair of the Border Security caucus and a member of the House Freedom caucus. Congressman, good morning. Good morning, mike. Mike four weeks after el paso, a mass casualty shooting, 300 miles to the east in odessa, texas, your thoughts this morning. Well, first of all, of course we are praying and concerned with the folks, the victims and families there, and i know you worked there and i have worked in that area, but i also will tell you thank goodness for the blue line that went in there. We really appreciate the police there. And then i guess the next step from there is to acknowledge that we have a tremendous problem in this nation and throughout the world even, but this notion of how do we stop Mass Violence and prevent Mass Violence . And its not just shooting, but its i mean, if you look two weeks ago, the dayton, not the four week ago dayton issue but the two week ago dayton issue where you had an individual wielding a knife, attacking people and turning around, stealing a car and killing a number of people with that incident. So we have this violent problem of violence in this country, and we need to address that problem. Mike we dont have a word on the motive just yet. We got an update on the death toll. At least seven people killed. Some brave First Responders, police from various agencies really putting their lives on the line, getting wounded in action to take down this gunman. Some preliminary thoughts on what can be done to stop these Mass Violence type attacks . Well, its hard to anticipate, and i think that i agree with attorney general paxton of texas, that we need to continue to look at this, but one of the things that he said, and he repeated this a couple of times, is that we need to find a way to respond to these quicker to prevent them these instances from exacerbating. I think thats important. I have talked with some groups that believe that they can do that, but i dont think that we should step in with false things like red flag laws, but we need to face the fact that we have deteriorating institutions that in some way stoke these fires and we need to change the rhetoric, we need to change our institutions to recognize that we have a severe a serious problem here. We dont know enough about this most recent shooting, the one from yesterday, to know why this guy was doing it, where and how he got his guns and why he was attacking the Police Officers who were stopping him for a routine traffic stop. This is a problem. Mike weve got your colleague congressman David Cicilline of rhode island for a view from the other side of the aisle coming up. Let me ask you, congressman biggs, can Congress Come together to pass some kind of Bipartisan Legislation that may not eliminate the threat but perhaps would be some common sense steps to address this problem . Im always interested in that question because i think i think we agree on a lot of things. Davids got some good legislation that i support in other areas. But too often what i see happening is we react to this stuff so quickly, and were trying to do something that may be the best of intentions but they have potential longterm ramifications that are going to impede solving the problem because i dont think i think some of the solutions that are proposed are superficial in nature. I think this is a much deeper problem, and it is a societal problem as much as anything else. Mike so are you interested in maybe looking at Mental Health . Are you concerned about violent video games . Some of the other peripheral issues, if not guns directly, some of the other things that may potentially be contributing factors . We have heard in previous cases of family members trying to call authorities about a loved one and not getting much action. You know, are there some of those other common sense things that maybe can be tightened up . Yeah, i think thats right. I think there are a couple things that you just mentioned that are important to understand. I think that we need to stop attacking some stop attacking religious institutions. We have the family that is under attack. We need to build that up because some of those institutions, if we can help those, that will immediately take some of the alienation i think drives some of this. Help solve some Mental Health issues. We need to have communications between agencies. That was the parkland issue. I mean that was part of that issue. Mike uhhuh. Weve got all kinds of ways we can attack some of this. Dont forget that most states, if not all, actually have ways to go in. If you suspect that you have a loved one that is suicidal or a danger to others, you can actually go in now and through due process means request that they be evaluated, and thats important. Mike we have much more with congressman andy biggs, including his reaction to the doj Inspector Generals report. All right brad, once again i have revolutionized the songwriting process. Oh, here we go. I know i cant play an instrument, but this. This is my forte. Obviously, for Auto Insurance, weve got the wheel route. Obviously. Retirement, were going with a longterm play.

Mike the doj Inspector General releasing a report on james comey thursday finding the former fbi director violated Bureau Policies in his handling of memos on his private meetings with President Trump. The president supporters calling it the tip of the iceberg of alleged antitrump bias at the fbi as we await two more doj reports on alleged fisa abuse and the origins of the russia investigation. Lets bring back arizona congressman andy biggs. Congressman, lets start there. Your reaction to the Inspector Generals findings on james comey . Well, i thought it was very interesting because mr. Comey had been indicating that he was kind of above the fray, but we know actually he was he was right in the middle of it. He confirmed that he leaked information to a friend to give to New York Times reporter because he wanted to manipulate the appointment of special counsel, which started the whole russia the whole Mueller Investigation which is basically tried to put a damper on the trump presidency, and i just felt like when you read it, there was nothing surprising there. It was what we anticipated. But i think mr. Comey basically is just dodging and weaving, and i dont think he understands fully what he did was even wrong. And thats a real problem, to realize that the very top guy at the fbi does not acknowledge his problems and that what he did was wrong. Hes defending it and he feels he should be apologized to. It was actually audacious in many respects. Mike more reports to come. What are your expectations for Inspector Generals report on dojs handling of the russia probe that could come any day . We anticipate that will come mid september. I anticipate that we will see some very stark revelations of manipulation of the whole system for political purposes. When you see that happen, thats when i think youre going to see references or referrals for indictments, and i think you are going to see some indictments. I hope you do because this is trying to take down a sitting president is absolutely outrageous. Its essentially a coup attempt, and thats what we saw happening here. Mike then theres connecticut federal prosecutor john durham looking into the origins of the russia investigation. What are you looking for on that front . Well, i would anticipate that hes going to find that youre going to have a setup so all of this goes back to George Papadopoulos and basically he was set up, and youre going to find that this was a there was nothing there. The fusion gps dossier, which is basically a set of memos that were basically just put out for research and some of it was just flat out lies were used to try to infiltrate the Trump Campaign and then in turn take down the president shortly after he was elected. And this has been a problem for us for three years now. And i just the most outrageous thing that you can imagine, and i think you are going to see some accountability there. I hope we see accountability there. Mike then theres the issue of immigration. You are a border state lawmaker. Is there any chance of Congress Getting something done on tightening loopholes, addressing some of the roots of the illegal immigration problem . Well, i would hope so. I would hope that we could at least address some of the asylum issues. Im not very sanguine about that. We have members of the other side actually calling for the abolition of the i. C. E. Agency. I. C. E. Is the enforcement arm of the immigration laws. If you are not willing to enforce immigration laws, it speaks to an unwillingness quite frankly to change and tighten the immigration laws. Thats a problem i see Going Forward here. Mike congressman andy biggs of arizona, thank you for your time sir. Thank you very much, mike. Mike straight ahead, reaction from the other side of the political aisle to everything congressman biggs just told us, when House Judiciary Committee member David Cicilline joins us. Stay with us. He also co chairs the democratic policy and communications committee, and well ask the congressman what he thinks the republicans now following the president s lead by making the squad targets in political attack ads.

Mike police in texas now confirming at least seven people were killed in yesterdays deadly shooting rampage from midland to odessa. The gunman is also dead as investigators continue to look into a possible motive. Were expecting an update later today. Lets get reaction from rhode island congressman David Cicilline, chair of the democratic policy and communications committee, also sits on the house judiciary and Foreign Affairs committee. Thank you for being here. My pleasure. Mike your reaction to what we saw in odessa, texas . I think like everyone who watched those accounts, im broken hearted. I think it is yet another example of epidemic of gun violence in this country. We have an ability to do something about it. And, you know, it is not enough to extend thoughts and prayers. The American People expect congress to Work Together in a bipartisan way and to respond to this epidemic of gun violence. 40,000 people will die at the hand of a gun this year which is standard in this country. We passed two common sense proposals back in february, universal background checks and closing the charleston loophole. They are sitting in the senate awaiting action. Weve called on the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to bring the senate back and pass those bills. Universal background checks and the reason this is important is universal background checks work. We know that. Since the brady law has gone into effect 3 million gun sales were denied which meant people were not allowed to buy a gun because they were criminals or some other disqualifying information were denied the purchase of a gun. The problem is 1 in 5 guns are sold in this country without a background check. This is a huge loophole. It fixes it. It is supported by democrats, republicans, independents, bipartisan. Been sitting on senator mcconnells desk since february. He ought to come back and move those bills immediately. Mike we dont know all the details about this gunman and his motive. We dont even know if he bought the guns legally. Are there other things that congress can work on in terms of Mental Health or violent video games or radicalization or something that maybe theres more Common Ground on . Yeah, there should be Common Ground on universal background checks. It is a bipartisan bill, overwhelmingly supported by the American People. I think 90 of the American People support it including majority of gun owners. I think theres bipartisan support for that. There ought to be legislation were going to take up on red flags which is giving medical Health Professionals and family members an opportunity to alert Law Enforcement when someone presents a danger to themselves or others if they purchase a gun. Many states have adopted those laws. We know they work. We need to do that. We have a number of other pieces of legislation that again try to keep guns out of the hands of people that shouldnt have them and we can do a much better job on that, at closing some of these loopholes, universal background checks, red flag laws, i also think there ought to be bipartisan support to eliminate high capacity magazines. That will be harder. But lets start with the easy stuff, background checks, red flag laws. Mike whats your reaction to what the Inspector General said about james comey this week, former fbi director . Any time a Government Official does something wrong, it needs to be investigated. I think the report makes very clear that mr. Comey didnt violate the law. He didnt act out of any political motivation. He broke some procedures by disclosing to his attorneys a memo, but i think the more fundamental question we need to ask is why was the fbi director, who had a stellar reputation, man of extraordinary integrity, why did he feel compelled to share that memo, that memo that recorded that the president of the United States asked him for loyalty, to swear loyalty to him and then asked him to kind of let this thing with flynn go . Thats the underlying thing that ought to concern everyone. And i think again, this is one of those investigate the investigators. We will see more of it with the other two investigations, but we shouldnt lose sight of the conduct of the president at issue here, in which he told the fbi director to lay off michael flynn, can he let this thing go . Hes a good guy. We dont want the president of the United States, any president doing that. Mike the folks on your side of the aisle didnt love james comey when he was stepping in to the 2016 campaign; right . No, absolutely. I criticized him. I didnt like him to do that. I think it was also a breach of the procedures of the fbi. I think he ought to be called out for that. We cant miss the forest through the trees here because what was at stake here is the director of the fbi having some real concern about the president s conduct and trying to figure out a way to make sure it is memorialized. We need to be focused on the conduct of the president in my view, thats of particular concern here. Mike with you folks at home, a number of your colleagues have come forward saying they now favor impeachment, up to about 135, is pressure building on Speaker Pelosi to go forward . I think what you saw my colleagues do all across the country in this august work period is share with the American People the work that democrats in the house have gotten done. Weve passed 254 pieces of legislation, less than 20 of them have been taken up by Mitch Mcconnell. Thats legislation to drive down the cost of prescription drugs, to protect coverage for preexisting conditions, to raise family incomes by guaranteeing equal pay for equal work, to make sure that we take care of our gold star families, to raise the minimum wage, and the list goes on and on. And you know, during the conversations i think with their constituents are hearing were glad you are delivering on the promises you made to improve the lives of the American People, we also want you to hold this president and this administration accountable. I think, you know, we have a president who has engaged in behavior that i would describe as lawless. I think the Mueller Report details five specific instances of obstruction of justice. No one is above the law. And the American People expect us to hold this president accountable. Mike does it bother you all the attention some of the freshman members of the so called squad are getting and President Trumps efforts to make them the face of your party . Look, no, that doesnt bother me at all. We have the largest caucus i have ever served with. It is the most diverse caucus in our history. It represents our great country. And people bring their Life Experiences and their ideas, and i think it produces a better product for us. Im not surprised the president is trying to focus on a couple of members of the caucus, but i think what hes distracting away from, the attention of the work we are getting done for the American People. Mike when they tweet to 5 million or so supporters, does that take you guys off message . No, these are members that have a following, a point of view. I think one of the great strengths of our caucus is everyone comes with their passion and their ideas and their best thinking, and out of that will produce legislation thats the best for the American People. Thats how our democracy is supposed to work. I think to characterize the Democratic Caucus based on two or three people, the American People are smarter than. That they are going to look at the work democrats are getting down, to drive down the cost of prescription drugs, to protect coverage of preexisting conditions, to rebuild the infrastructure of america, raise family incomes and most importantly to take off the corruption and selfdealing in washington. The first bill we passed, the biggest most significant anticorruption bill since watergate, hr 1, they will look at that, what we are getting done to get the government to work for the people. Mike briefly, next president ial debate is set. Do you expect them to go at each other with all the early frontrunners on stage together . Or do you think they will try to keep the focus on President Trump . Well, i think you will see a little bit of both. I think they are going to try to you know, sort of make their points and try to break out from the pack, thats normal if there is a big group and you are trying to draw attention to your candidacy and your work. I think there will be some of that. I think they all recognize the real challenge this president , this administration, whoever the nominee will able to contrast what were fighting for and what the president has done. Mike thank you very much. Thank you. Mike President Trump igniting more controversy after tweeting a satellite image on what appeared to be a failing missile launch. What does this mean for the already tense relations with tehran . I will talk with a Senior Advisor i mean, if you havent thought about switching to geico, frankly, youre missing out. Uh.

Mike intelligence Officials Say they worry President Trump may have shared a classified surveillance images when he tweeted this photo that appears to show an iranian rocket exploded on a launch pad. The president in that tweet disavowing any u. S. Meddling in the explosion. Meanwhile tehran has not publicly pointed the finger at washington, saying the failure to launch was due to a technical error. A former state department Senior Advisor who served in the trump and george w. Bush administrations also senior fellow at the center for National Interest and author of smart power between diplomacy and war. Christian, good morning. Good morning. Mike whats your reaction to the iranian rocket exploding on the launch pad and the president sharing the photo being fully aware that he has the power to do so . Right, i dont know if the document was classified or not. We have been collecting overhead imagery, well known historical fact since 1959, that was the Corona Program that put satellites over the soviet union for the first time. That was fully declassified in 1995, and if you go back and look at sort of movies and nonfiction since the 90s, its been a well established fact. It is not news to anyone that were taking overhead imagery of iran and of course the president as you mentioned has the complete authority to declassify anything he wants. He doesnt even have to go through a process to do it. It is from his constitutional power to supervise the executive branch. The National Security bureaucracy, if they think otherwise, thats their problem. As far as the issue at hand, iran launching a supposed satellite space launch vehicle, that is very alarming. Thats the path north korea took to get an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and even a failure, even ones that only lasts a couple of seconds produces very valuable information with which you use to perfect your rocket. This is alarming in that sense. Mike United States was public about cyberattack, the revolutionary guard used to attack oil tankers, is that a smart way to send a serious message to the regime without any bloodshed . Yeah, i think the use of cyber warfare, at which we have been getting bigger and bigger capabilities and of course its sort of again widely known and was leaked unfortunately to the public that we used cyber we in israel used cyber tools to disable part of Irans Nuclear program during the obama administration. That is a useful tool. It cant be the only tool, though. Must also have sort of real life deterrence with military forces. Mike on north korea, there were some highprofile facetoface meetings between President Trump and leader kim jongun, even a historic one in the dmz. The North Koreans are now saying the hopes for more talks are fading. Your thoughts . You know, thats sort of consistent with what they do with messaging. They dont say negative things about the president , but they will say negative things about the secretary of state or National Security advisor. I think were in a good place with north korea. It seems the progress only occurs when the two leaders get together, when it goes below that level, there really arent functioning working groups which is a shame, but as long as they are not Testing Nuclear weapons or long range Ballistic Missiles much better than we were in the previous two or three administrations. Mike is that a sign that secretary of state pompeo is getting under their skin . The fact he is holding firm and they seem irritated by it . They are extremely sensitive to any sort of criticism, and i think secretary pompeo is just stating the truth. So that is what it is. It is always interesting to see the colorful insults that come back from the Korea Central News Agency when you talk about north korean offenses of human rights. I think it is par for course. Mike we thank you for your time. Have a great day. Thanks. Mike the contenders are set for this months democratic throw down in houston.

This will be the first time all the top ten president ial candidates will be appearing together on the same stage for one night. So will the contenders go after each other or President Trump . Lets bring in our Political Panel, brad blakeman, former Deputy Assistant to president george w. Bush and dave brown, former Senior Advisor and Committee Counsel to Washington State senator patty murray. Good morning. Good morning. Mike for the first time we will see all the top contenders on the same stage together. Do you expect some sharp elbows, brad . There has to be because remember, you have to be selected by the party before youre elected by the people. You never get to donald trump until you become the nominee of the party. This is equivalent to the roman coliseum and the fans want to see a mix up, they want to see a fight, they want to see fire, and they have to start distancing themselves from each other and comparing themselves to each other and showing how different they are. If they dont do it, it is a huge missed opportunity. Mike do they look to take on their closest rivals to have a moment on the debate stage or do they try to stay focused on going after President Trump . Mike, i think it is a combination of all of the above. You noted in leadin to the segment this is the first time that all the top candidates will be on stage together. It is the first time that Vice President biden and senator warren will face off in one of these debates. Mike uhhuh. If you look at polling, the top five candidates, biden, sanders, warren, harris, buttigieg, roughly account for about 70 of all of primary voters support among democrats. Mike uhhuh. For these five, this is about not only consolidating their position, but obviously moving ahead, and i agree with brad, that when youre running against somebody like joe biden, who is consistently at the top of the polls, youve got to find a way to differentiate yourself. Mike right. Conversely, if you are the former Vice President biden, your strategy is to look to the general. You want to frame this debate on terms that are favorable to you against donald trump. We know the president every day is seeking to define the race. President s get reelected when they are able to define the race and by definition define their opponent opponents. So it is a mix of both. Mike joe biden is representing the more mainstream democrat while warren and sanders representing the more progre progressive wing. How do you expect that battle to sort out . I think biden has a real problem. In my opinion hes been running for president for 30 years. The current state of the Democratic Party has long since passed biden by in policy and direction. If you add up the support of bernie and warren and buttigieg and harris, biden is under water. So people are looking for an alternative, and i dont think joe biden can outsocialize the younger crowd that hes up against, and i think if he tries to do it, it will not be seen as genuine, not be seen as real, nor credible. Mike dave, do you worry about some of those progressive voices and liberal freshman members of the squad in the house taking your party too far left . I think were having a healthy debate of the future not only of our party but the country right now. I think it is striking that biden is consistently at the top of the ticket right now in terms of where folks are. Brad can make the point that folks have him as their, you know, their second first choice, so yeah you will see some attrition once folks get out of the race and see those numbers switch around. Think the real headtohead match up that hasnt happened yet is between warren and sanders. Frankly senator sanders has a lot on the line, trying to hold his performance from 2016. Frankly i dont think hes doing a very good job of it. You are seeing warren ascending and shes pulling voters away from sanders. If anything mike i think that contest will be interesting to watch on the debate stage. Mike is President Trump wise to try and make the squad the face of the Democratic Party . Well, it is. Hes just acknowledging what is obvious. Come on. The inmates are running the asylum in the Democratic Party. They have to make some hard choices. You know are they going to stick with the liberal fringe, or are they going to come back to some semblance of reality . All you have to do is look to the fight thats coming i predict, it is going to be a Battle Royale at their democratic platform at their convention. That will be the fight for the heart and soul of the party. Mike lets give dave a few seconds to respond to that. It wouldnt be a segment without brad making some ridiculous claims. Thank you for that on this sunday morning. Look, brad, you are absolutely not right. You are talking about four freshman members of congress. You know what . They are speaking out on behalf of issues they care about. They were elected by their constituents in districts, not the nation, but in their districts and they are representing the voices of their constituents. If theyre not, they wont get reelected. They are not defining the future of the party. Mike dave brown, brad blakeman, thank you very much. Thank you for watching sunday morning futures. Im mike emmanuel. Maria is back here next weekend.
