Rode the department the Senate Overwhelmingly confirming Robert Wilkie with 869 vote. President trump welcomed to the white house a shining array of u. S. Manufacturers Business Owners and ag producers. We are here today to celebrate the greatest products in the world. When i was growing up i would see made in america all over the place. Steve kind of a gray start to this july 24th. Its a tuesday. Live up here on the mezzanine level. Welcome to fox friends. Sunny here in studio f. Ainsley thats right. Good morning to you at home. Thanks for joining us. Todd here filling in for brian. Todd thanks for having me. It was fun yesterday. Hopefully it will be fun today. Steve threatening to yank security clearances from six obama intel officials. Ainsley there is now concern that they used it for their political and financial benefit. Todd Griff Jenkins in washington where reaction is pouring in from both sides of the aisle. Whether you see this as an abuse of power or politicizing security clearances, its important to look at how and why this began. Former cia director john brennan who now earns a living as a National Security analyst for another tv network accused the president brazenly of committing nothing short of treason in helsinki. That prompted senator rand paul to accuse brennan of monetizing his clearance and he has spoken to the president about it. Had a great conversation with the president. I have been very concerned about john brennan. Anyone who is calling basically the president treasonous which would require the Death Penalty is someone that is over the top and not showing the proper judgment to still have access to classified information. Now we know the white house is, in fact, considering removing clearances not only from brennan but from other former obama officials like fbi director james comey, Deputy Director andrew mccabe. Dni clapper, rice, and hayden. Clapper said this. I think this is just a very, very petty, petty threatening to do. And thats about all i will say about it. And as all this begins, we should make it very clear clearances do not automatically terminate when officials leave that position but the post position clearance does not also give them access to current intelligence. Todd, ainsley, steve . Steve griff, thank you for reporting live from our nations capitol. There has been reaction from both sides. Some people go yeah, he ought to do that because they did weaponize their intel. But then at the same time, when asked yesterday about doesnt this violate those peoples First Amendment rights, Sarah Huckabee sanders said the president feels as if they are politicizing and in some cases monetizing their clearance and they dont like that. And, keep in mind as well, the president has the power to grant or revoke clearances. Ainsley thats right. He has the power to do that because these individuals, they were working for the government and then they go on to write books. They have go on to be on Television Networks and give their expertise and give their advice. The president is saying they are giving bad advice, making baseles baseless accusats of improper contact with russia. Todd as you might imagine democrats up in arms over this including their leader nancy pelosi she is really slamming the idea to revoke security clearances. Heres what she said upon hearing the news. This is so extraordinary. The last thing you want in intelligence is partisanship. And we were able to avoid that for such a long time. Ainsley not really when james comey, who is former intelligence agent said that everyone should vote democrat this fall. He just tweeted that. Steve he has been doing a lot of that lately and taken heat on twitter for it. She says you shouldnt be partisan in a situation like that. And, yet, you look back in the archives of video, there is a lot of that going on. Watch this. Its almost a badge of honor when the president sees fit to go after individual private citizens. I think mr. Trump is not sophisticated enough, unfortunately, to deal with these foreign leaders in a manner that is going to protect u. S. National security interest. I dont think he is medically unfit to be president. I think is he morally unfit to be president. There is a bit of autocrat envy in terms of the president s attitude of the russian federation. He has taken a series of steps that had Vladimir Putin dictated them he couldnt have mirrored more effectively. What his motivations are i think is a legitimate question. Steve look, ultimately, nibble in a position of power who weaponized intel to try to destroy donald trump when he was running for president or in some way afterwards, that person should get in some sort of trouble. And jim jordan the congressman from the great state of ohio says, look, it all comes back to russia and spying on the campaign. And many of these same people were talking about this morning were involved in that. Watch. Brennan leaked the information to harry reid. Rice goes on tv after benghazi and lies on five Different Networks about the cause, the catalyst of the attack in benghazi. Clapper lied under oath. Comey leaked information through a friend to create momentum for a special counsel. Mccabe lied three times under oath and faces a criminal referral. We know peter strzok isnt telling the truth he couldnt admit bias in his Text Messages to the lisa page in the Committee Hearing two weeks ago. The president is fighting back like he sudden. What we also know is this past weekend everything that we saw in this fisa application confirm what is we have been all been saying for seven months. Steve so will the president pull their security creerns clearances . He is considering it right now. Stay tuned. Ainsley it turns out, you know we were talking yesterday about the president being criticized on all these networks about his comments to iran. Iranian dictator or leader said one thing. Our president fought back. But, it is working. His strategy is working. We are learning this morning that there are satellite images of north korea and they are dismantling its main missile engine test site. So signs of north korea fulfilling promises that were made to the United States. Todd this is no time to spike the football. This progress with regard to north korea is not going to be fast. But we are looking for a major starting off point and this very well could be that. Switch gears now iran with regard to the rhetoric thats been coming out of the left saying oh, you know, he is going to start a war. He is being too insinsd area with regard to iran. Rush limbaugh had a pretty interesting take on iran and same liberals not being tough enough with russia. The drive buy byes are now obsessed for the moment with trump and all caps list to president rouhani of iran who is continuing to shout death to america here and death to america there. And trump has had it. We dont laud over anybody. We justable who we are. There ask no shame in becoming a super power. Iran good bet, is russias number one client state at this point in time. Pretty hard to reconcile trumps tweets with the claim that trump is putins puppet. Trump is aggressively challenging russias puppet client state in the middle east. How in the world is this acting as putins puppet . Steve exactly. So, when you you know, you get in the way back machine and you look at how those on the political left just exploded when president of the United States engaged kim jong un the way he did on twitter and stuff like that, calling him little rocket manual, because he did love the song rocket manual by elton john that he heard a lot on jet flying all over the place. What did the political left say he is going to get out in a shooting war. Looking forward look at that one of those hand shakes. That was six weeks ago. Thats why this first step of dismantling this launch site people have been going its taking too long. This is a good faith effort on the part of north korea that they are doing something. Fast forward to today and now people are going, you know, he is tweeting in all kaps. He is going to get us in big trouble. Sound familiar. I think the majority of the country likes it i really do. I think they like his tough stance that he is, you know, he is not a politician. He is not afraid to tell people how he feels. He is tough. And i think most people like it. Steve its his business plan. This is how he gets their attention. Once he has their attention, then he goes, you dont like that . All right. Sit down and talk about it. Ainsley dont you think most people look at the big picture. Better to sit down with putin and kim jong un. Especially when the United States and russia control 90 of the Nuclear Weapons. We need to sit down with them. We dont want to be enemies. Todd to your point when we go to diners in the south. You are doing dooce on the loos, you speak to these individuals to a man and woman, this is what they want. They want america that protects strength to the world. Ainsley not an apology tour. Todd thats what we had under the Obama Administration. Is he not doing. This for people feel we need to kowtow to iran thats begave them all that money and we need to lay back no, thats not what the American People want. Ainsley how are we supposed to respond to the president of iran when he makes comments like that. Todd state sponsor of terror. Ainsley are we supposed to sit back and take it . No. Steve stay tuned. Ainsley let us know what you think. Steve it does remind you of fire and fury, which was last year. Then we advance to talks with north korea. Is that whats on tap for iran . Well find out.

Judge kavanaugh is a rigorous thinkers, devoted thinteacher and a gracious person. One of those students joins us kirby. Good morning. Steve political these days. People on the left will do anything they can to stop him you pointed out during the commercial to me of these 80 students they are not all republicans. They are from all sorts of political points of view, arent they . Yeah. The students on the list are span the political spectrum as you might imagine Harvard Law School leans largely to the left. So it would be probably challenging to find that many hard core republicans to put on the list if you wanted to. Steve sure. What is it about him that you are willing to sign your name at the bottom of that . I think if you read anything he has written, you can tell that he is brilliant. Is he a very effective communicator. But what stands out to me as his student is that he is just rickenbackerably kind. He takes such a personal interest in each of the students in the class. One month long class and he manages to form these really strong relationships and took us out to dinner and offered to give us career advise and serve as a reference. Just a really really kind person. Steve kirby, he didnt just say that lip service to the class, he actually helped you, didnt he . He did, yeah. I have reached out to him several times since graduating and every time he has responded immediately he has given me career advice and a few months ago served as a reference for me for a new job. Steve thats really interesting. Kirby, for people who might be in congress and they are looking in and they are opposed to him right now for political purposes, for their party, what would you like to say to them about judge kavanaugh. I think, first, i would just iterate he is so imminently qualified underundergrad and la Yale Law School written over 300 opinions just brilliant. I would consider that this is a very, very good person that you are putting through a difficult confirmation process and to think of him and his family and, you know, be kind to him the way that he has been too so many team. Steve im sure he certainly appreciates you and all 79 of the other names who signed that letter to congress. Kirby, thank you very much for joining us live. Thank you for having me. Steve all right.

According to the new york post, prosecutors use the wrong statute to charge the man from senegal. The excon was being deported back from his native country when he escaped from officers at new yorks jfk airport. He somehow slipped away but was arrested in chicago three days later. Police officers and other officials in one florida city can no longer ask about whether someone is in the country legally. The Orlando City Council approving the new policy known as the trust act.
