White house Homeland Security advisor tom bossert said the federal government ready to respond. The state and local organizations and the nongovernmental organizations seem to be well positioned.

How much is that in the back of your minds . I was in and through and with fema during katrina.

The president s top Economic Advisor took time away from his push for tax reform to nitpick the president s repeated condemnations of charlottesville, two weeks after the fact. Gary cohn revealed he was under considerable pressure to resign but stayed in his job to quote work on behalf of the american people. He said citizens standing up for see quality and freedom should never be see quited with white supremacists, neonazis, and the kkk. I think the admin straiption can and must do better in condemning these groups. Cohn sounds like the left wing media and Congressional Democrats and deep state dwellers who continue to question the even the president s sanity. You had people that were very fine people on both sides. Reporter after his postcharlottesville News Conference and tuesdays phoenix rallies, critics of President Trump have grown increasingly personal. Questioning not just the visibilit theadvisability oft his mental health. This is a man who is not well. The president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor confidence. Reporter the white house declined to respond to that last jab. But at 8 30 a. M. , more than a week after the comments in question the president tweeted strange comments by james corker bob kosher. Barry goldwater was declared unfit to be president. And since then the describing association declared it unethical to do so. Even observers sympathetic to the president say its too easy to question his rationale. When someone is working counter to his own interests, people will push it further and claim hes not fit. Reporter he noted how Richard Blumenthal wept after false statements about his street a number record were exposed. David President Trump is heading to missouri next week to start a major push for tax reform. The president is 100 in support of us passing legislation this year.

David the wall street journal is reporting special Counsel Robert Mueller is examining what role if any former National Security advisor mike flynn may have played in a private effort to obtain Hillary Clintons emails from russian hackers. The effort was reportedly led by peter smith who implyinged flynn was an ally and other Trump Supporters were helping which they denied. He made contact with five groups of hackers two of which he believe were compromised by russia. Joining me, ed rollins. First of all, do you know this character, peter smith . Ed i do not know peter smith. David this source like so many other, it quotes people familiar with the matter said. Who do you think those people are . Ed when you get into things like he passed away from suicide shortly after this broke. This guy is kind of a long pattern from what i read playing with the clinton stuff when it was going on. But my sense is i dont know him. It doesnt mean its not valid. But it doesnt sounds like a good story. David we dont have the absolute proof that hillarys emails were hacked. So the entire story is prefaced on something we dont know is true. There are a lot of assumptions. There is going to be a lot of stuff he will look at. But at the end of the day they have to come out with something thats pretty solid. David meanwhile there is a Russian Investigation we at fox business are involved in, thats the fusion gps thing. Chuck grassley is also looking into it. They are squeezing Glenn Simpson a form colleague of mine at wall street journal who went on to work for Opposition Research for democrats and they were the ones who came out with this russian dossier. The liberal media is reviving the whole idea that the russian dossier proves there was collusion between the trump am cane and russia. What do you believe . Ed i believe senator grassley. He has a great investigative staff. Hes been around 40 years and is a tough investigator. If there was something there the former reporter had, it would be out there in the Mainstream Press in addition to the judicial investigation. David senator grassleys office subpoenaed some of the documents Glenn Simpson has, gps fusion has. They received thousands of document that were blank pages to which one of senator grassleys associates said this shows they are stonewalling senator grassley. That wont continue for long. Ed grassley will subpoena them in a heartbeat. Hes very, very tough. A very good investigator. He will get to the bottom of it. David the attacks on the president from republicans continue. We have this dustup between senator corker and the president. Why dont with the democratic opposition in such disarray against the president , why doesnt senator corker who we see here and the other senators and congressmen who have been criticizing the president for statement he made about charlottesville, this is an historic opportunity to change the tax system in addition to many other aspects of the government that are wrong right now. Why dont they get their act together . Ed what the republicans have to understand is the president does not have good approval numbers they will be sunk. Whatever his numbers are, 37, 40. Thats their base. We have a bunch of senators in key races next time. Unless they get off this thing of beating up the president and pushing some of his agenda stuff forward they will be in a lot of hurt. David we have senator Mitch Mcconnell suggesting we wont have tax reform until after the next election. He said sometime in this congress which could be after november 2018. If we dont have tax cuts before the election the economy wont grow sufficiently to win the election. Ed even if they passed it next week it would be a year before there would be benefit from it. I think this should have come up first and they need to get this thing done as quickly as possible. David be sure to vote in tonights follow. Gary cohn reportedly drafted a Resignation Letter before he criticized President Trump in the paper. A reminder to follow lou and twitter loudobbs. On wall street stocks closing the week higher. The dow up 30, at volume on the big board a light 2. 5 billion shares. For the week all three indices are up about a . Oil moving higher on fears Hurricane Harvey could reduce supply.

David the white house is dialing up the pressure on the communist dictatorship in venezuela. The white house announcing another round of sanctions making it difficult for maduro and his country to borrow money while the country is at unrest. We always have a broad rank of contingencies. But any decision would be conjunction with our partners in the region. No military actions are an is night near future. David for more on venezuela and and other global hot spots we are joined by former general jack keane. What would justify military action in venezuela . I cant see any military action unless they started to take extreme measures against their own people or against a neighboring country. But i think what everyone is so concerned about is maduro is becoming one of the worlds top dictators. Hes rewriting the constitution to give himself ultimate power. That takes away the vote from the people themselves. So there are two alternatives if hes a completely unacceptable leader and the people are economically strangled. They take the armed insurrection themselves. And thats called insurgencies. We are quite familiar with that. And the other is his military. We are not going to advocate either one of those things as part of u. S. Foreign policy. But either one of those things are on the horizon to begin with. The Vice President of venezuela, he is of syrian descent. Hes in charge of giving people passports and apparently hes giving as ports to terrorists. Would that justify military action on our part . I dont believe so. I dont think we are seriously contemplating military action whatsoever. I think it would further complicate the problem. I dont believe we have a single ally in the region advocating that themselves. David we have breaking news from korea. Apparently the Missile Launch was a failure. That clearly in my mind was a reaction or attempted reaction to our military exercises with the south, right . Its clearly what this is. They always do something during these annual exercises the United States and south korea is conducting to remind them that they are opposed to these exercises as a matter of policy and principle. This is not in reaction to the statements the president said about the ultimate impact on north korea if they did something that provoked the United States. Quite frankly. North korea has toned down some of its rhetoric and also has not taken any serious ballistic testing since those statements have been made. I doubt seriously if that will last a while longer. Ultimately i think he will conduct six Nuclear Tests within weeks or months. David we should just ignore what happened tonight . Absolutely. The less talk about it, the better. Our exercises will be conducted. And they bear a lot of fruit. We are testing important plans dealing with north korea. So those are very serious exercises. Have a great weekend. We are coming right back with a lot more. Please stay with us. President trump is taking on the republican establishment. Nobody wants me to talk about your other senator who is weak on borders, weak on crime. Nobody knows who the hell he is. David Michelle Malkin says the gop establishment is more loyal to themselves than their president and his America First agenda. These ambitious mountain bakers. Right . Yes. So let me ask you this. How does diabetes affect your heart . It doesnt, does it . Actually, it does. Type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. And with Heart Disease, your risk is even higher. You didnt know that. No. Yeah. But, wait, theres good news for adults who have type 2 diabetes and Heart Disease. Jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit. Jardiance is proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and Heart Disease and lower your a1c. Jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. This may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. Ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. Stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. Do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. Other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. Taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. So now that you know all that, what do you think . That its time to think about jardiance. Ask your doctor about jardiance. And get to the heart of what matters. If you could book a flight, then add a hotel, or car, or activity in one place and save, where would you go . Expedia. Potsc in unison drive russ, leland, gary yes. Gary i have a ford f150.
