violent weekends in recent history. in atlantic, the mayor says enough is enough after the killing of an 8-year-old girl. and breaking tonight, the governor of georgia has declared a state of emergency to deploy the national guard to the state capital. active defiance over the holiday weekend, protesters tearing down statues of christopher columbus in baltimore and frederick douglass in rochester, new york. we are tracking new threats to monuments tonight buried in these fourth of july boat parties in minnesota sparking debate over what safe and what's not as covid-19 cases continue to spike across the country. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night," i'm shannon bream in washington. we begin tonight with chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher. he joins us to talk by the deadly violence and some of the biggest cities across the country, good evening, trace. >> six children who was shot and killed over the holiday week and were doing things like riding and mom 'his car, playing games in a yard, walking in a ball. 11-year-old jumps out of his mom's car in washington, d.c., to grab a phone charger from his aunt when a group of men opened fire, hitting him in the head. the 11-year-old and his mom had just come from a cookout where mom was working to settle disputes between rival hardened criminals. 8-year-old was walking in alabama mall when she was caught in the cross fire of a gun battle. 7-year-old shot while playing in her yard of a south chicago home and 8-year-old was sitting in the car with her mom in atlanta when she was shot and killed. here's her dad. watch. >> they say black lives matter. killed your own. killed your own this time. they killed my baby because she crossed the barrier. you killed a child. she didn't do nothing to nobody. >> kids were not the only victims. over the holiday we can in chicago, 87 people were shot, 17 killed. in new york, 64 shot. ten of them fatally. bill de blasio blame the coronavirus and people being cooped up. nypd chief terrence monahan strongly disagrees. watch. >> it's a combination of things. releases from prison, shut down, rikers at half of where they were last year in population. i've said this before, the animosity towards police out there is tremendous. >> in atlanta, 31 people were shot, five of them killed. georgia governor brian kemp is now declared a state of emergency, authorizing a thousand national guard troops to help protect the streets. in atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms had this message. >> we are doing each other more harm than any police officer on this force. we've had 75 shootings in this city over the past several wee weeks. you can't blame that on apd. >> we should note that the mayor has also tested positive for coronavirus, though she says she has not had symptoms and had no idea how she contracted it. shannon. spoon all right, trace gallagher, thank you very much for the recap. several demonstrations crossing the line into distraction over the holiday weekend. statues destroyed from new york to baltimore well in atlanta the georgia state patrol said fireworks, rocks, and graffiti caused extensive damage to its headquarters early sunday morning. correspondent alex hoban is keeping an eye on protest activity all across the country, good evening, alex. >> good evening, shanna, some protester saying that these debates don't deserve to stand because of what they were present. many of the protests we've seen here in new york city began here washington square park were just a week ago some people were caught on camera dousing the george washington statue with the red paint. meantime, this weekend in baltimore on the fourth of july, protesters ripped down the crest of her columbus statue, throwing it into the city's harbor. for a local italian-american group tried to recover but unsuccessfully did so and in rochester, new york, a statue of abolitionist frederick douglass was ripped down on the anniversary of one of his most famous speeches. the speech was given new life this past holiday weekend. >> certainly disheartening that weather was out of pure boredom or if it was intentional, that someone would damage a statue that, you know, resemble something significant in our country. >> this morning, president trump tweeting, this shows that these anarchists have no bounds and so far no arrests have been made. realms continued over the holiday we can. in minneapolis, the crowd marched, and quietly for police or from a saturday. seattle protesters lined up on a major roadway downtown just days after a car drove into a protest killing a 24-year-old and wounding another. and in portland, police say protesters threw bricks, firecrackers and flammable objects at them. advocates here in new york urging protesters not to slow down, telling them to dig deep into sustain the push for change, saying "as protests have ebbed and flowed in over 550 cities across the u.s., we've learned that it's terribly difficult to predict whether and when we might see a meaningful wall and organizers activity. we haven't yet. the organizations leaving the calls for justice in our country are evolving to meet this movement. it has been 42 days since the death of george floyd with protests now carrying over from june into july. meantime, continuing tonight in downtown manhattan is the occupy city hall movement where their people will continue to demand for the defunding of the nypd. shannon. >> shannon: alex hogan in new york, thank you. and as being reported at the top of the show, deadly violence blanketing cities across the country over the holiday weeke weekend. at least six children are among the dead. dozens of shootings reported in atlanta, chicago and new york. let us discuss with the senior director, charles love. the former florida attorney general pam bondi. great to see both of you tonight, thank you for coming back. >> thanks. >> shannon: i want to start with this. town hall has the headline six weeks, six cities, 600 murders. they say city after city operated by entrenched democrats have seen a massive expansion in lawlessness, violence and murder. i want to put up the stats first from new york and then we will go to chicago. in new york, shootings up in june. 130%, murders up 30%, burglaries up 118%. 40,000 fewer arrests so far this year. in chicago, the mayor said in oppressor today, 17 people killed, that includes two children. pam, as a former top law enforce an officer in fargo, what do you make of what we are seeing? >> well, shannon, it's complete lawlessness. that's what happens when you want to defund the police. in new york they want to take away $1 billion from the police, so what does that do? crime went -- shootings went up 200% after they voted to defund the police. which is absolutely ridiculous. as a career prosecutor, what people forget, the police aren't out there to arrest you as much as they are to protect you. when someone calls 911, when a young child is shot, there's a rape victim, when there's a human trafficking case, when someone needs a first responder, the police of the first ones on the scene. they are deflated. they are humiliated by what their own city has done to them and it's no wonder that crime has gone through the roof there. you know, there has to be consequences for your actions. and what new york, what mayor de blasio has shown, you can do whatever you want and there will be no consequences for your actions, unlike president trump, who's the law and order president and says he wants to come in and help wherever he's needed, is willing, ready and able to stop this lawlessness throughout our country. >> shannon: okay, so pam, you mentioned mayor de blasio, want to play a little bit of what he said today. of course the mayor of new york city. he says this is part of the x-men nation of why these numbers have skyrocketed. >> it's directly related to all the dislocation that happened over the last four months with the coronavirus. as we get into warmer and warmer weather than we are seeing the effects of people being cooped up for months the economy obviously has not restarted to anywhere to the extent that we needed to, so there's a lot less for people to do. we have a real problem here. >> shannon: he has a different expo nation then pam does, what you make of his -- attribute mr. coronavirus, to people having economic trouble or being cooped up, that's why we are seeing this spike in shooting, murders, robberies and everything else? >> well, he's clearly wrong but it's interesting because he says -- one of his points as the economic distress. well, he's played a part in the fact that the economy is struggling or at least help that limp along instead of moving a little faster, but pam made some good points and i totally agree, but it's even worse than that, i actually wished that defund the police was the reason because then we've got a solution, just fund them again and will be fine. but technically it's worse than that. we haven't even seen them defund the police yet. the stuff is skyrocketing essentially because people are hearing and seeing what's going on for a while. we talk about bail reform in all his other things. chicago has had these problems and you talk about prosecutorial discretion. not only do you have to see police with the ferguson effect where they may not stop you to begin with and then if they do stop you, you know, you got bail reform and things of that nature but then you have prosecutors in chicago, people in boston and other places where they ran on the fact that they're going to not prosecute certain crimes. and people make the mistake of thinking criminals are not smart. just because your criminal it means are done. if you see you have the opportunity were no one's going to stop you, this will continue to happen. >> shannon: tweets this out, talking about -- referencing an article outlining all of the death and violence over the weekend, especially kids. he says it's just a taste of the coming violent crime wave, roundup doesn't even include 60 plus people shot and dozens murdered in new york city, virtually all victims and children were african-americans, do black lives matter to black lives matter? a quick comment from you both, pam, we will start with you. >> i do have these -- as are other guests just said, you have these liberal prosecutors in some jurisdictions who these people are being arrested and are turning around and letting them out. that is a slap in the face of all these police officers and yes, i agree, more people are going to be killed, multiple children's lives were taken this weekend. what about the young child who witnessed her father gunned down in front of room that she running through the street? there is no law and order in these liberal cities and we got to change that in our country. there has to be consequences for your action and that's what has to take place at our men and women in blue got to be supported. >> shannon: charles, final comment quickly to you. >> i think black labs do matter to most people and they really do care. it's that no one is pushing for any policy that's actually going to affect anything positive. there's a long-term and short-term effect. long-term unit something like what we do it seeking educational excellence, ground up and short time, you need to get control and black lives matter is not, as you talk about, the organization, it's not the primary goal. we look at their goals, their goals are palestine, immigration, you know, the lgbt movement. things of that nature, so they are not focused on crime so they will never be able to do anything that helps the problem. >> shannon: all right, charles and pam, we hope that there will be solutions moving forward, thank you both for weighing in tonight. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> shannon: as the country sees an increase in coronavirus cases, the trump campaign is moving forward with rallies, but this time taking a different approach. the next one saturday is going to be in new hampshire. kevin corke is here to explain. >> i'm looking forward to that, by the way, at least from a coverage perspective, we can talk a lot about that but there's an old saying i want to share with you, you probably heard this, there are lies, them lies and statistics. the president has certainly gotten a great deal of attenti attention. this is even as the white house task force met once again to track the spread of covid-19. it seemed the perfect backdrop at th the people's house, a a proclamation of progress. >> but now we have tested almost 40 million people. by so doing we showcases, 99% of which are totally harmless. >> whether you believe that it was a gross miscarriage or position of the facts are pretty close to spot on depends largely upon how you interpret the latest covid-19 statistics. our cases up? yep, that's true. hospitalizations too, but then again, so is the amount of testing. most in the world. a fact frustratingly left out of many of the headlines, so the president on twitter. noting that violence deaths are down 39% in the u.s. has the lowest fertility, mortality rate in the world. a fact not lost on some analysts. >> doesn't really matter how any cases, it only matters who gets the cases, because we know the infection fatality rate for people under 70 is 0.04% on the latest analysis. that's less than or equal to seasonal flu. the cases themselves should not be and were never the focus. >> but critics insist the white house has downplayed the problem from the very outset and they say blame for the recent spike rests solely of the president's feet. >> you will never stop a problem in life that you refuse to admit. why he refuses to admit it i have no idea. why do have a task force if there's no problem, right? 99.9%. it's just made up. >> the increase in cases comes as the trump campaign prepares to hold an outdoor rally in new hampshire this weekend. not surprisingly, they are encouraging attendees to wear masks. meanwhile, president trump told out a bit of twitter criticism today aimed at nascar driver bubba wallace. asking if you apologize to all those great nascar drivers and officials who came to his aid, adding that the whole thing was just another hoax. wallace replied, writing in part, "love over hate every day, even when it's hate from potus, love wins." that's all the reference to that whole new's garage pulldown controversy that we talked about. meanwhile the president is also planning to refile paperwork to once again rescind the deferred action for childhood arrivals, that's the daca program. in the filing could come as soon as the end of the week perhaps, of course i will keep very close eye and a but for now back to you. >> shannon: kevin, did you say twittercism? is at an original word coined by you, it's very clever worried speak i'm sure there somebody out there who will say i -- i just thought it up tonight, maybe it works, maybe we will see. >> shannon: kevin, you're good at everything, thank you. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: many americans celebrating fourth of july weekend amid new coronavirus warnings. fireworks lighting up the sky across l.a. county despite a ban on them there. lancaster, california, holding a public fireworks show in l.a. county, even streaming on facebook. meanwhile, case numbers surge in several states while the country continues to emerge from lockdown. correspondent jonathan serrie has the latest. >> new york city went into phase three reopening while keeping restaurant dining rooms closed. >> we got so much data from around the country indicating that indoor dining, unfortunately, became a real nexus for infection. in a way that other types of economic activity warrant. >> mayor de blasio is trying to spare new york a second spike in cases seen across america's sun belt as florida reported a record number of new cases over the holiday weekend, miami beach closed its shoreline to prevent crowds seen in other places such as sacramento, california, is ocean beach. many who flocked to the jersey shore ignored police from public health officials to wear face coverings. >> [inaudible] we also have just laughed at that. >> nationwide, average daily cases have increased 130% over the past month. deaths over the same period actually decreased 39%, perhaps in part because of the new spike affecting many younger, healthier patients. but because fatalities can occur more than a week after hospitalization, deaths usually lag as an indicator. >> one is we are seeing increases in hospitalizations, so i worry that we are going to see an increase in deaths. second is we are getting better at treating the disease so we may have somebody who spends two or three weeks in the icu and walks out. they're still going to be pretty sick with a lot of suffering but they're less likely to die. >> while six paper remains the gold standard for social distancing, more than 200 national scientists are calling to revise the recommendations pointing to evidence the virus can remain infectious and smaller airborne particles that travel further distances. the issue of airborne transmission has sparked debates since the early days of the pandemic. the 6-foot rule may run a similar course to face coverings while these masks cannot 100% guarantee you won't become infected, studies suggest they significantly reduce the risk. shannon. >> shannon: jonathan, thank you very much. new tonight, california governor gavin newsom shutting down bars and indoor operations for six more counties. that brings the total number to 23 california counties rolling back reopening plans because of a surgeon coronavirus cases. the list of indoor closures include bars, restaurants, wineries, movie theaters, and museums. the governor's critics pointing out the order does not apply in the county where newsom's winery and tasting room operates. he talks about american exceptionalism, the media called president trump's speech at mount rushmore divisive and dark. what does brit hume think about

mount rushmore, the president calling on americans to live up to the principles of our founding fathers. while calling out those on the left for cultivating what he calls a "cultural evolution." the "los angeles times" saying that it's the president looking to "stoke a culture war. "new york times" accused him of delivering a divisive message. make some sense of the rhetoric with brit hume, good to have you tonight, britt. because thank you, shannon. >> shannon: there are some of the mainstream reaction -- mainstream media reaction to it. democratic senator tammy duckworth, who was getting some veep mentions, here's how sue describes the speech. >> remember the president on mount rushmore was standing on ground that was stolen from native americans who had actually been given that land during a treaty. >> shannon: here's how the senator felt about it back in july of 2015 as she tweeted out, all dressed up -- it was her and some colleagues. i just covered myself and stars & stripes, next year i'm going is mount rushmore. she was in red, white, and blue, flags there, but mount rushmore is no longer in vogue, and neither was the president's speech apparently with the left. >> and neither apparently are the values and traditions of this country, which is what the president spent most of his speech defending and a very sort of full hearted, full throated way and at some length. and for the critics to say as "the washington post" did that he reached new depths of depravity for the "los angeles times" to say what you said and tammy duckworth to say what she said is utterly mystifying. he never spoke about any traders, dead or alive. he mentioned no confederates, although there are some who claim that he did. and some of the news coverage of the speech was opinions expressed in the story every bit nearly as strong at least with something i don't think i ever quite seen before. this could be a turning point if the president has the good sense to respond to it effectively, because i don't think that the public is on the side of these editorial writers and people like tammy duckworth. i think the public would like to see america's traditions and heroes in history defended. >> shannon: i went back and watched the speech today and some of the biggest applause line he had were for the second amendment. he said unborn lives in the image of god, american exceptionalism, family, judeo-christian principles. he said also, we kneel only to god. one of his biggest applause lines of the night was when he talked about the country's decision to abolish slavery and to get rid of that part of our past but apparently those are things that the left views as "divisive." >> well, it's hard to know what they mean. they could mean the speech. they might mean his critique, you know these writers in the streets in the cancel culture that has arisen in which people say, you know a few years ago would be perfectly unremarkable things and suddenly find themselves out of a job, but if that's what they say he means, i think most people are on his side. i must say -- and i've rarely seen such biased and misleading coverage or such extravagant opinion reaction to this than i saw this we can. imagine the depths of depravity said "the washington post," really? this is amazing. >> shannon: welcome and people can watch it or read it for themselves, they can decide whether the accusations are accurate or not. okay, so let's talk about this. you have covered washington for a long time and many of those years of covered then-senator, then former vice president joe biden. he's had a number of different roles but this is when he tweets out. he says we are going to be donald trump and when we do we won't just rebuild this nation, we will transform it, which has people asking questions, what does that mean? donald trump jr. tweets this, biden wants to transform america to chop. open your eyes, people. what you think he means by transform because he certainly had the opportunity to do it. >> it's utterly unclear what exactly he means because he did not specify and i would say this. at a moment when american heroes statues, not controversial stretches, but statures of people like george washington and abraham lincoln and even some of the leaders of the abolition movement are being ripped down, columbus statue was thrown in the water over the weekend in baltimore, christopher columbus. when these things are happening and you come along and say you want to transform america, you're beginning to sound like the radicals were doing these things and that's very much want to transform america. something i don't think most americans want to have anything to do with so i think that might've been an unfortunate expression by the former vice president, interested to see how we amplify is and what he means but he also complains about haven't lived up to our ideals, has any country in history of the world ever tried harder to live up to its ideals than this country? i don't really think so. and i think that's what most americans believe. i think that the vice president is potentially on thin ice here if he keeps this stuff up. >> shannon: quickly, there are a number of bush 43 alumni who say they are now for joe biden. on their website they talk about the fact that they have some disagreements over some things but they are now united behind endorsing joe biden and a lot of them are having fun of it saying the g.o.p. is abandoning president trump and even some g.o.p. leaders are now saying they offer biden, with your quick comment on that? >> well, those are some washington g.o.p. -- and others as well. but i'm not sure they're really leaders. i guess you could argue they are, but i think they're mostly people most americans have never heard of. under you consider the number of people who have been in republican governments over the past several decades, the number is really a small fraction and so i think this is likely to be regarded as the shot heard round the block. >> shannon: okay, brit hume, always great to have it with us, thank you so much for your time tonight. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: all right, do you hate robocalls that go to your cell phone? what the supreme court just decided about those calls up next. ♪ if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes! over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that?

"we are seeing a resurgence in a lot of states." that's why he added "i think the country needs one last boost," but a senior g.o.p. leadership aide tells fox it's not a foregone conclusion there will even be another bill. there is sharp disagreement among republicans. >> we owe trillions of dollars and climbing. this is real data. >> that's when mcconnell halted coronavirus pending back in may. >> do it good job of evaluating what we've already done. forces tell fox mcconnell believes he can convince republicans to go along if he writes the bill. but the price tag capped at around $1 trillion. president trump and mcconnell aren't rolling out another round of targeted direct stimulus checks that there's g.o.p. disagreement there too. >> obviously we just had great on employment numbers meaning that looks there there might be a sharp uptick, so if it turns out the economy is recovering, that's a good thing and direct stimulus checks may not be necessary. >> data administration continues advocating for one unpopular idea with republicans and democrats. >> mentioned that the payroll tax is something of great interest to the present, it would help low and middle income americans the most. >> additional on plumbing benefits could emerge as the biggest flash point. >> what we did in that act was $600 a week. so i think this is something we will get a look at but i don't think we will get the $600 benefit going forward. >> democrats want to were no extra on clement health set to inspire at the end month. >> unemployment is still a problem for people basically whose jobs are lost or shut down because of the epidemic. >> mcconnell blamed the rising cases on people not taking coronavirus seriously enough saying they were letting the good times will. he said they can't shut down the economy again. shannon. >> shannon: chat program with the latest from, thank you very much. so the supreme court today issuing some key decisions, including one that could impact who becomes president in this country. in a 9-0 opinion authored by justice kagan, the court held that states can punish or even removed electors if they refused to vote in line with their state a posthumous popular vote, try to go rogue. ten so-called faceless electors tried to do just that in 2016. in a more divided decision, the court upheld a federal ban on those robocalls to your cell phone while also striking down an exception for calls into collecting debts owed to the government. writing for the majority, justice kavanaugh said "americans passionately disagree about many things, but they are largely united in their disdain for robocalls." also today, none of another split decision from the court allowing work connected to a number of oil and gas pipelines to continue. however, the court left in place a lower court's decision that blocks a critical permit for the keystone xl pipeline and that is likely to significantly delay work on that project. will top democrats publicly denounce mob violence?

mike lee joins us to discuss his efforts on that front and more. good evening, good to have. >> good evening. >> shannon: i want to put up a little bit of this resolution that you try to offer up in the senate -- cancel culture, all of it should be condemned by americans and they are different peaceful demonstrations. you couldn't get this thing moving in the senate, there was no bipartisan buy-in, what happened? >> yeah, so i went in there, just trying to get something bipartisan passed. something acknowledged us a sense of the senate resolution. we should extend channel -- all americans towards peaceful demonstrations that are respectful of our history and our traditions. and shockingly, shannon, it didn't pass. this is the kind of thing that we ordinary pass all the time, passes unanimously but they couldn't have that. my democratic colleagues objected to it and said he wouldn't allow it unless i would put in some language taking a dig at the president. i wasn't going to allow them to do that. that would defeat the purpose of the whole thing. that was really unfortunate. >> shannon: okay, so we are at a moment than where we cannot come together in a bipartisan way to denounce mob violence. we will see if you try again, let us know. in the meantime, you mentioned cancel culture as well there are number of people who are saying listen, this is a phony thing that's being thrown out by conservatives, people on the right in their way overhyping and fearmongering about it. cancel culture is something that does not exist, but is a very popular concept among people who do terrible things and don't like being held accountable. your response, senator? >> yeah. it makes a really good point. weft realized by their fruits -- look at the fruits of those cities -- of those behind the mob violence. look at cities like seattle and like minneapolis. you've seen the violence actually go up rather than down. and so part of cancel culture, part of its objective here seems to be to delegitimize anybody who doesn't toe the line of the woke orthodoxy in this country. that's bad. and it's really time to cancel that. these people are hating america on america's time and it's time for us to cut their allowance. >> shannon: we are going to put you down for canceling cancel culture. anytime a piece of a daily signal talks about how a number -- by victor davis hanson's estimation, he wrote this, our colleges are to blame for a lot of what we're seeing. he says this. "universities are certainly teaching our youth to be confident, loud, and self-righteous, but the media blitz during these last several weeks of protests, riots and looting also reveal the generation that is poorly educated and get petulant and self-assured without justification." do you think it's fair to assign some of what's wrong with the young people and protesters to higher education, because this is written in the context of tearing down statues -- like ulysses s. grant and abolitionists and african-american veterans of the civil war. apparently that was torn down as well. >> calling into question those mistakes in american history that have been made. that would be fine. no one have -- no one would have any objection to that, i certainly wouldn't but what you see today in america's colleges and universities is using federal taxpayer money and also using hard-earned money paid in the form of tuition to these colleges and universities. you see people systematically discriminating against conservative viewpoints, against religious viewpoints, against any viewpoint that doesn't toe the line of this woke orthodoxy that they have been nurturing now for decades. and that they have been presenting is irrefutable and nondebatable. universities are supposed to be an environment where an exchange of ideas can occur. the not supposed to be propaganda -- in part using federal funds to do that. >> shannon: well it is a good place to have a debate, challenge your own ideas and the ideas of others and we're willing to have those tough conversations to see what stands up and what doesn't. senator mike lee, thanks for being with us tonight, good to see you. >> thank you. >> shannon: okay. he is 24, why some say he could be the new face of the republican party fresh off as primary win. madison cawthorn joins us live next. hi from essential workers... to frontline responders... to you. whenever you're ready to get out there, enterprise is ready, too. ♪ with our complete clean pledge, you'll have the peace-of-mind that we'll get you safely on your way... wherever...and whenever that may be. enterprise. when you're ready, we're ready.

>> well, it's a twofold strategy. one, changing the actual way that we do communicate and that is by going through different means. representative dan crenshaw, a little bit too centrist for me, i think he does an incredible job using social media to be able to reach out and to whether it's generation z or the millennial generation that help explain to them to the true cause of conservatism. the second part is the fact that i believe republicans as a whole the g.o.p. is all for the last few decades have really struggled with messaging. when you can talk about border security, or health care, they have a hard time getting across what our actual values are and so that's the thing i want to be able to help with and hopefully be able to secure the millennial vote for president trump this election. >> shannon: another look at -- two-thirds of millennials believe america is a racist and sexist country. this is a headline from the center square. it says "in 40% think america is the most unequal society in the world." that's a pretty pessimistic view of this country. how do you change it? >> it really is. i think the fault lies in our education system. the 1970s under nixon, we created the federal department of education and i think that was the beginning of the end for really an open and honest discourse. now we've seen the overwhelming liberal side of the political spectrum takeover are primary schools and also especially our higher education institutions. so i really believe that we need to combat that with honest facts and honest statistics to be able to go out and talk to them. because you know, the facts -- the saying that this is a racist country is just borderline absurd. if you just look at the man who just won an incredible upset victory over -- i forget which state he's in, but he's going up against a democratic -- utah. >> he's an accent of all-star and you know, he's an african-american man and he does an incredible job and senator tim scott, you look at barack obama even. i don't believe that our destiny is determined by our skin color or where we are born. i really believe that it's determined by how much hard work we put in and the fact -- to say our country is racist i think is just blatantly wrong. >> shannon: and i believe that hard work is what got into this primary win. if got a general election ahead of you. you talked about how disappointed you were that in 2016 where republicans had the white house, the house and the senate that they didn't get more sweeping things done. so if you end up here, we will see how you feel about going up against the so-called swamp when you arrive. madison, thank you for being with us tonight, good to see you. >> it's an honor, i'll be back anytime. thank you. >> shannon: most-watched, most trusted, most grateful you spent the evening with us, good night from washington, i'm shannon bream. ♪ allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident. cut! is that good?

it has nothing to do with the reasons that normal people sometimes get annoyed with drum, the bragging, the short attention span, the rants on twitter. none of that justifies hatred or obsession, plenty of politicians have unappealing personal qualities. ted kennedy killed a woman and he's still a hero to the
