FOXNEWSW The Daily Briefing With Dana Perino August 1, 2018 18:00:00

A look at the days top news and headlines. Opinion, its ridiculous the corruption and dishonesty with the witch hunt, the president has watched this process play out but he also wants to see it come to an end as he stated many times. We look forward to that happening. Dana i understand why she would want to answer it that way, last week we found out that muellers team is looking at the president s tweets to see if there was a pattern of obstruction. This is just his opinion, just fighting back, its not obstruction. Amazing when you have the white house under siege like this one, much as with the Nixon White House or the Clinton White house, the way in which the team there comes to reflect the attitude, the language, the perspective of the boss. And you can hear it there, and the loaded words and the hard language. This is a white house under siege and this is an administration that is ready to fight, fight, fight. The problem for trump is the same as it is with, you know, all of that stuff about theyre going to impeach Rod Rosenstein and that business. It comes down to this, Trump Can Act 450eshgs has constitutionally appropriate he can act. He has constitutionally appropriate remedies that he can do. He could order the documents to be released. He could discharge Rod Rosenstein. He would intervene yet he doesnt. This is the predicament. If he acts then he creates a constitutional crisis and loses republicans in the senate who say youve gone too far. But he wants to talk about it and rally his fwas. Dana they also made a decision, the president decided he is not going to throw Paul Manafort under the bus. Paul manafort isnt being charged here or tried on charges of collusion or anything to do with the campaign. This is separate and apart. What hes charged with, are the very things that President Trump campaigned on, saying he would drain the swamp from. He cant let Paul Manafort twist in the wind y worry about him . This is outside and apart from the campaign, why . We dont know what donald trump knows that Paul Manafort knows. This is the wilderness of mirrors situation. What you see may not be so. And this also goes for his former fixer, cohen, and bunch of other people in his orbit. We dont know what they know or what he thinks they know. For manafort this a logical gambit. Hes richer than he made 60 million off the oligarchs. Dana dont say that, you will be struck from the courtroom. Hes old and hes rich. For him it makes sense. Take it to trial, see it through. As they get through the trial and ive covered enough of these to know. If it gets to the trial and theyre getting close to the end you can see plea deals in cases like this right up to the last minute. Understandably playing out his hand. Dana let me switch gears and talk about the mid terms. President obama announcing today his first wave of endorsements for house candidates, some i guess senate. I noted two things that he didnt include on his list, two types of people, one was the new instantly famous alexandria owe casiocortez who Beat Joe Crawley in the primary. Oept bam a does not have her on his list. Why would he, she doesnt need help. She won with, what, about the same number of votes as nothing. Nd if shes in a safe seat she doesnt need help. She has enough visibility. Dana can i ask you, is it better for her not to be endorsed by President Obama . Shes running an antiestablishment campaign. Im not sure, do the democrats consider the clintons and the Obamas Establishment or just the clintons . If she can find any way to lose in this district it would be a miracle greater than the senate reds winning the world series. Its not going to happen. The issue here is, is it good for democrats for obama to be doing this. I think no. I think this is hub ris, he has to stand back and let the chaos reign in the party. He cant show up and say im out but here are the people you should do. Dana do you feel the same way about him not endorsing any current red state democrats up for reelection or are they glad to the to have the endorsement . You think joe manchin wants barack obama to say thats my guy . No, does not help you. Dana he said this is his first wave of endorsements, do you think he will have an impact on any of the races . He will have an impact in some places. But again the larger impact is a negative one for his party. You wont find relief here. Congestion and pressure .

Republican Troy Balderson is running against daniel oconnor, a house seat thats been in republican hands since 1980. But the crystal ball rates the contest a tossup. A new monmouth poll, he leads oconnor only 1 . Collin reeves joining me now, columnist for the boston herald. And dave brown, former Senior Advisor and Community Counsel to senator patty murray and democratic strategist. Experienced folks to talk about ohio 12. Collin. Trump going to the race must mean that President Trumps things that balderson has a good chance of winning or he wouldnt go. But him going could make all the difference in the turnout. Absolutely. Special elections usually come down to turnout. Its not always able to extrapolate from the results what does happen in future elections. But i think one thing that the republicans have made clear in this race is the playbook they use against the democrat in the race is one they can use all across the country. And that is make every race a referendum on nancy pelosi. The democrats want to make every race a referendum On Fond Trump but that doesnt work in ohio, West Virginia other places where hes very, very strong. Thats where the mid terms seem to be going in terms of the battle lines. Remains to be seen who will win. Nancy poe less joy is a liability no matter where you go, nancy pe lows si. Dana the democrats must have done something right with this candidate, your thoughts . Youre seeing a major Enthusiasm Gap in this race as well as races across the country. One reason why democrats over the past year, in special elections, have been consistently outperforming even in states that were historically red or went for President Trumpin 2016. To win the House Democrats need a net 23 seats. Republicans are defending 25 seats that Hillary Clinton won last cycle n ohio and other suburban districts, the more the president wants to campaign in the suburbs we welcome that. If you look dana why . If you look at the you be in of suburban women who strongly disapprove of the job that the president is doing, nearly 6 in 10. And even among republicans who support the president , theres a major, major gap between men who strongly support his performance and women. Its overwhelming. Democrats are enjoying a 30point lead with the suburban women, thats going to translate into gains in november. Dana collin, the other thing i learned is that the democrat candidate not only is there enthusiasm on his side, but to the extent there are independent enlts left, and apparently there are, theyre leaning toward the democrats. Thats typical in this type of a midterm election. Can the president s visit change any of their minds . You have to believe if hes going there, he would look at a poll and assume hes going to be helpful and not an asset not anything thats going to drag down the republicans. Look, these mid terms in the middle of august, people have a lot of other Better Things to be doing than paying attention to politics. And whats happening there. I think you just need to Pay Attention to what happens on turnout and who shows up. Dana let me ask you about a poll, ill go to texas, this was a little bit of a surprise, this morning the texas iceum group poll showing that ted cruz is just two points ahead of oroarke, cruz the incumbent. Oroarke on his heels. I would heat the Quinnipiac Poll came out saying that ted cruz is up 4943. But that race, dave, is probably closer than ted cruz would like. I think its very fair to say its closer. I thought it was striking, i think last week, when an incumbent sitting senator ted cruz challenges beto oroarke to five debates. Thats crazy, an incumbent wants to debate, that speaks to his sense of waeshgness at this position. Beto oroarke is running an interesting and compelling campaign, the small dollar donations hes generated and keeping up financially with senator cruz and running on Kitchen Table issues, whether its insuring affordable healthcare, whether its ensuring that they are able to have a winning wage. Dana hes been doing it in a different way, facebook live. Collin, the last word, the democrats have had this dream of flipping texas blue. Are their dreams to be dashed again this year . Yes. Texas isle intos gold for the democrats. Cycle after texas is fools gold. They want to make it competitive, they never do, the republican usually wins, im confident that will happen as well in the state of texas. Dana well make you buy is a drink if its not true. Thank you. Thank you. Dana one group making a major push for a member of the National Guard running for congress, ill speak to lt. Colonel Ashleigh Niklos about her primary fight tomorrow night.

Ashley nickloes, serving eight deployments since 9 11, trains military and civilian groups on disaster response. Her most important job, devoted mom. Now, nickloes is on a new mission, challenge the career politicians, rebuild our military, grow our economy. Dana that was an ad recently released in support of lt. Colonel ashley nickloes. The republican is part of a crowded field running in a primary tomorrow hoping to win the open seat in the second district. Im joined now by lt. Colonel ashley nickloes. Thanks for being with us today. Youre running for seat held in the Duncan Family for many, many decades. Yes, maam, 54 years. Dana why did you decide to run . You brought were you brought to my attention by this group called with honor. David ignatius is a columnist for the washington post, wrote this today, the coalesce evens of young veterans of iraq and having a may be the most positive trend on the political horizon. They have been through the nightmare of combat, they know what it means to serve the country beyond flag waving and slogan earring. Did they re chute you to run for this seat . How did they find you . No, maam, i just got tired of how broken washington is. My view from 18,000 feet over syria, iraq, and afghanistan is different than the view with a. After multiple deployments, after the pad few decades, i thought it was time to bring a new voice and voils of experience to congress. Dana what do you think are your main issues youre concerned about . National security of course is my top priority, closest to my heart. Healthcare is also very close to my heart, my husband is a Trauma Surgeon and dedicated his life to healthcare in addition to serve 2g 2 years in the military serve 2g 2 years in the military. And term limits. I believe its time to Bring Congress and the representatives back to the voice of the people. Term limits would bring it back to what our Founding Fathers Original Intent was. Kp there are many more women running for congress than in years past, the democrats doing better than republicans. Where democrats are running in a primary with at least one woman and a man and no incumbent, 66 of democrats have won, they were women. 38 of republicans have won. Tomorrow, in a crowded primary, trying to win it tomorrow. I know that you dont go about talking about how youre a woman and thats why you should vote for me. What do you think about the Republican Party trying to promote women in this year . Its imperative that the Republican Party show what the actual Republican Party is. Were looking at over 435 seats in the house of representatives and only 11 of them being held by women after this election campaign. So we want to make sure that republicans reflect what we really are in this nation. As you said, i have a crowded primary, theres seven of us. I am the only female. But ive run on my experience and the power of our message. I believe im the most experienced to take this message to congress. Dana let me ask you about the on issue of a lot of people in tennessee, the effect of the trade policy that President Trump is pursuing, while he tries to work out the trade deals there are consequences for tennessee, with canada, for example, being the top sip yent, soy beans, and whiskey. Im curious what you say to your constituents when you come to washington who you would do to stick up for them on this issue . Well, i applaud President Trumps ability to try and bring a level Playing Field to our trade policy. We have over 850,000 jobs that are dependent on the trade policy here in tennessee. Over 1. 4 billion in money that we bring in to our state because of trade. I hope that President Trump makes it an expedite, the negotiations, because the longer we draw it out the harder it will be on my constituents in tennessee. If ever there was a time to negotiate a better trade stance for us internationally, then right now is, they are into the booming economy. Dana lt. Kol them ashley nickloes, thanks for being here today. Thank you so much, it was a privilege. Dana Pension Problems to the tune of trillions of dollars corks your Retirement Fund face insolvency . New tariff talk, what the president is tying when it comes to billions of Dollars Worth of chinese goods. President trump everyone that says hello mr. President , congratulations on what youve done for the economy. Its the talk of the world. China paying hundreds of billions of dollars a year with nobody there to protect your money. But youre there now. To improve shortterm memory. Prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Dana a new place to raise the stakes with china, fox news learns President Trump floated the idea of boosting Property Moesed tariffs from 10 to 25 on billions of Dollars Worth of chinese goods. Heres the Fox Business Network live with this story. Tensions are is d. Ca lating, the proposed move from 10 to 25 is more than double obviously. Some see it as a tactic aimed at the chinese government. Beijing has reacted with anger, threatening retaliation. Weve seen 25 tariffs on 34 billion, largely industrial goods that. s imposed on china amount the u. S. On schedule to heavy similar tariffs of an additional 16 billion, either this week or next week. As for this next proposed level, the white house probably going to make a decision towards the end of august. Those in favor of the tactics say theyre justified because of the chinese yuan has fallen about 6 against the dollar since the end of may, a clear advantage of chinese exports when th
