FOXNEWSW The Daily Briefing With Dana Perino August 3, 2018 18:00:00

A look at the days top news and headlines. What the government is saying is that that is not really true. Rights, and there is a lot of shuffling. So together, sort of shuffling the numbers, and when it was convenient, they reported income, and it didnt when it wasnt, he said he was making Rental Income on some of his properties. That was good because it could lessen his taxes, but when he wanted to get along, that Wasnt The Case anymore because he was able to get more money in loans with a private property instead of a rental. So he just short sort of shuffe numbers around a little bit. But it is a dense trial. There is a lot of paperwork. Dana another thing that was very intriguing that you tweeted earlier today. Something regarding the russians or the oligarchs that you are not allowed to use. The oligarchs and manafort, what is that . I think it is very interesting. At two elements that will not be trial. Dana you were on yesterday, right after the administration put out all of its top files dealing with russian influence, trying to interfere. Saying that this is ongoing, and it is pervasive. Take a listen to what the nsa director, paul, said yesterday. I have complete confidence in the forces under my command. We will work in conjunction with other elements, making sure that we have full power of our nation, free of any foreign powers that attempt to metal. Dana what are you thinking that they took from that yesterday . I think that there are some mixed messages. It was a huge show of force to have all of them out in the press briefing room. President trump went on and said that this whole russia thing is a hoax, so the president has a lot of power to punish them when they do try to interfere in our election. Sanctions is a great example, yet his actions have not always dana so i think that may be in his mind, and it is not for us to interpret, but im assuming that he means that the mueller investigation, collusion, it sounds like if you are sophisticated, that it sounds like the whole thing is not true. And maybe it is intentional or unintentional, but if he refines his messaging and says that the collision has not been proven, then that could be a hoax. Part of the reason, i dont think is that they have really been punished. It was pretty alarming that we know so many details of how they hacked different campaigns. Thats may have been pretty eyeopening, but so far, they have not faced huge consequence consequences. Donald trump says that he is tougher on russia than any other president , but dana looking forward to next week. What do you expect from the trial on monday . I think intent will start to come out. He will be a very key witness. He will be the blockbuster witness. The government does intended to call him, and people familiar with his thinking. He always thought that manafort was a greedy person, and he started blaming all of the crimes on him, but now that manafort has gotten contentious and aggressive, and his defense is to blame him for everything, i think it will be pretty explosive. Dana i bet. I will have you back to talk about it. Shelby holiday, thank you. Fox news alert, overflowing from heavy rainfall in the lynchburg, virginia. But just announcing moments ago that the dam is stable. 6 inches of rain fell on thursday, filling college like beyond capacity. More than 100 homes downstream how to be evacuated. More rain is expected today. The National Weather service says if the dam fails, floodwaters and the city could reach 17 feet deep and just 7 minutes. Las vegas police releasing the final report on the deadliest Mass Shooting in modern u. S. History. One Stephen Paddock open fire on a crowd of Country Music listeners, killing 50 people, and wounding 100s more. There was no second shooter. They also could not determine a motive for the mass murder. Nothing from his doctor would indicate signs of a troubled mind, but no troubled behavior that would indicate a call to law enforcement. The totality of the information that has been gathered, we can only make an educated guess as to the motives of Stephen Paddock. Dana police and say that he spent nearly 95,000 on firearms and related purchases. Manhunt calls to the mic comes to an end, the murder of a cardiologist who once a treated george w. Bush, committed suicide after he was confronted by police. Investigators say that joseph was spotted near a Jewish Center and was ordered to get out of his car but would not comply. Thats when he turned the gun on his stomach himself. I am thankful that our community was her absolute greatest force. Obviously, our detectives, our Control Officers did not rest. We did not rest until we had the suspect in custody. Dana he was found wearing a bulletproof vest and a backpack with a baseball cap. The political reports making a significant ratings change for the texas senate race. We are going to tell you what that is, plus the economy is firing on all cylinders. Is this a winning message for the g. O. P. In november . Our economy is soaring, our jobs are forming. Factories are pouring back into our country. They are coming from all over the world. E sugar you dont. Ill take that. [cheers] 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. New ensure max protein. In two great flavors. Nwith the right steps, hasnt left my side. 80 of Recurrent Ischemic strokes could be prevented. A bayer Aspirin Regimen is one step to help prevent another stroke. So, im doing all i can to stay in his life. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an Aspirin Regimen. You. Because they do great work it, i am just teasing. Dana they are just catching up to you. This is something we have known for a while. I think that ted cruz is numbers are artificially suppressed by the fact that there are a lot of conservatives, not even conservatives but trumps 3,000 maga people. I dont think that those are as you move into the midterms, there is some artificial suppression of his numbers, all of that having been said, you cant take anything away from his phenomenon. He is a natural politician, he is the antithesis of ted cruz. It ted cruz is a bad retail politician, who matches up on the issues for the electorate. He is a fantastic retail politician, and they are responding well to him. Dana we will look at that one. Talking about the troubles facing the president. From their perspective, they have a low poll that says unfavorable views include temperament, 53 are happy ther there, and truthfulness, 47 . What do you make of this messaging from the Democratic Group that is saying hes got problems, and we are after him on that . This is on the heels of the same group were previously telling democrats dont get high on your own supply, okay. This is going to be a tougher year than you thought. Now they are saying okay, here is where trumps vulnerabilities are. When it comes to what was a truthfulness and a dealings with russia, that is just a reflection of partisanship. But it is that first number that a significant, and that is where the republicans stand up to suffer badly. That is trumps exposure in 2020. We have never seen it get worse. Republicans have never done worse with women throughout public polling. 760 or 70 years, it has never been this bad, and a lot of that has to do with the presence temperament, and a lot of it has to do with those things. House republicans want to benefit from him on the economy, on other issues. With male voters, but in swing districts, especially in suburbs, what you going to do . And that is of consequence. Dana The Wall Street Journal editorial page, he wrote this. A message to republicans lost in the trumps fun house. Run on something solid, run on something you understand. Join yourself at the hip with the greatest accomplishments of Donald Trumps presidency. Over and over, we see that some of the ads are not about the economy. Is it hard because you dont drum up a lot of enthusiasm if you were just talking about the good news . You have to have the negativity to have people come out to vote . Fear is a more powerful motivator. If you tell them that the economy is good, they may not feel as terrified as you want them to be. They want to talk about impeachment, the national anthem, immigration, the wall. They want to talk about things that get a visceral response from voters. The democrats already have that. Donald trump is that. Dana how are the democrats going to run against him on the economy . They are not. They are going to run against the president and his attitude and all of those things, and then what theyre going to do is talk about health insurance, and how he fumbled the ball on the oneyard line, and they will keep revisiting that every day. And it is going to hurt them. Dana we dont have time to talk about it, but active blue, a democratic fundraising effort, they have raised 1 billion. Thats a lot of money. [laughs] even in new york it, thats a lot of money. Chris, thank you. Voters in kansas, michigan, and missouri will head to the polls. There is even a special election for a house seat on the day. Here it with a student to her, she was abducted it from the airport. We will tell you about the search. Plus, presenting a united front on Election Meddling, but is the president undercutting their message . No matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. Call one today. Are you in good hands . Into this a vehicle. It has new york license plates, they issued an amber alert warning. She is believed to be an extreme danger. All of the agencies have fostered it to identify threats of all kinds against the United States. The president has specifically directed us to make the matter of Election Meddling and securing our election process a top priority, and we have done that and are doing that and continue to do so. Dana that was director of national intelligence, dan cook speaking yesterday, presenting a united front with the heads of five departments, taking to the podium to confirm the United States commitment to combat Election Meddling. They all say that russia was behind interference in the 2016 election, and that they are attempting to do the same in a 2016 election. This is a Bipartisan Group of senators, imposing new sanctions on russia in response to your joining me now is adam kissinge kissinger, member of the House Foreign Affairs committee. What do you make of the sanctions, and you think that they will be punishment enough for russia to stop this behavior . Im not sure it is going to be punishment enough, but i think it is essential because basically what we want to show, basically any time Vladimir Putin decides to do something, he runs a cost benefit analysis. And the benefit that he sees in all of us, whether it is with us or any of our allies, trying to undermine democracy, so he is playing this long game. He wants people to not have faith in the voting system. If they do not have faith that their vote actually counts, that is the biggest thing to undermine this country. So every time we know that the russians are involved in any type of russian meddling, it is important to impose a strict sanctions on them because we want the cost up to out dana there was the conference, unprecedented, as far as i can see, especially in the last couple of years, but some of the media is a saying that yes the president will not say it himself, he will not be clean and clear about it. Or do you think that that would make any difference if the president actually said it himself . I dont think it will make any difference with some members of the press. I think that he has said it, kind of wondered why he wasnt more clear in how he says it. But i think he has this feeling that there are people who are blaming the russians for his election, but if you actually look at what they did, you talk about the facebook ads, what they actually spent on it, there is no doubt that the russians did not elect president trump. He won on his message, but it behooves our country to be very clear about this, and yesterday was a great step up. I think the president has been clear about it, but he is definitely not going to satiate some members of the press. Dana sometimes if you want the media to make a pivot, you have to hold them by the hand to get them to do it. I want to ask you about what is happening in turkey. Our government is finally getting really tough on them. Being held on house arrest. He said that he needs to come home, everyone being held by the turkish government. It is pretty straightforward. He is an innocent pastor, and they need to let him return to the United States. It sanctions, will that be effective with erdogan . They have taken a massive hit because of this, and i think that this is a great maneuver, both by them, and saying that they are not going to leave americans behind. This pastor is being held as a bargaining chip, and erdogan himself, he said democracy is like a streetcar. You write it until the stuff that you want to get off on. And this is a fellow nato ally, calling them out before this behavior. They have been acting terribly both to us, and it is time to show some spine. I am very proud of the president for doing it. Dana all right, thank you. We have some good Economic News out of the labor department. We will tell you about that. Plus, tennessee voters setting the stage with yesterdays vote. We will tell you about the big winner. For senior care. With daily laundry service. A place with a day spa. A place where seniors get the care they need in the comfort of home. Home instead senior care. And call your doctor right away. Other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. So say yesss to help for recurring constipation. Yesss to help for belly pain. Talk to your doctor and say yesss linzess. That, i just went up. So these are going pretty well. Dana and that is what you would expect to happen, they think it should be going up faster . Yes, nominal gdp, that is a technical term, only crossing 4 of just recently. A sense 2014. But we are not back to those days before the financial crisis where the economy is roaring ahead. Dana and something about how china is again threatening more tariffs on goods. They cannot match us dollar for dollar, since we dont export or import as many chinese goods. They say that they have the upper hand when it comes to china. Where the u. S. Depends on china. So yes, this is the way to go. But this is important. And a market cap. His view on tariffs, and by companies is that it shows up on the consumers, and the result is hurting the american economy. Dana and to to do you buy that . Idea, in the end. They have to make profits. So we end up paying more. Dana so how quickly might consume or steal i would say there is still a lifetime when people think about how much to raise prices, but companies are already cutting their spending. It has gone down for companies, not spending as much because they are concerned that they have to pay more tariffs and higher prices. Dana i always loved learning from you, susan. I appreciated. And the results are in. The republican candidate was chosen. Chattanooga, a great place, by the way. Any surprises last night . He will be the republican nominee for governor, he has really been an outsider, he took a tractor to all 95 towns, and really of very message, good schools, he beat people like diane blackett, who was favored to win mike. Had some endorsements from the Vice President , spent a 12 million of her own money. My message is very simple. Tennessee is a very good place to live. It is a very good place to work. It is a very good place to raise our family. But as good as tennessee is, it can be even better towards the end of the campaign, he was hit with attack ads, he did not respond in kind, he responded positively, and it worked for him. Dana and it seems like it turned out as expected, but can a democrat when back in . Very much as expected, and the democrats think that they have a chance this time. He is a popular moderate former governor. It has been 28 years, back to al gore in 1990. But they think they have a chance this time around. He will be facing marsha blackburn, she is an eight Term Congress woman, she backs in donald trump. He has been down here to campaign with her, he is likely to be down with her. Could really decide control of the senate. Back to you. Dana we will keep in touch with you. Thank you, steve. The Midterm Election is coming closer, and it seems that the republicans are facing an uphill battle. Technology and policy, and the founder. That is a lot of titles there, bruce. I am glad you are here. You have looked at this analysis, five of the last of six have been what you call people who are pros like you, change elections. Why is that . Well, there are a lot of possibilities, but my best guess is the same reason that we saw brexit in the u. K. Around the world, voters are afraid of the future, and they are not getting what they want, what they expect from sitting politicians, so they are voting for change, and the parties that are in are not delivering the same old policies, given that our economy has moved to a new place. Dana we talk a lot about politics on the stroke. What is the best case . Why should they believe that they will be doing well . Number one, two, and three a may be is economy. A lot of folks are forecasting great quarter three, with tariffs being the only Dark Aligning and the silver clouds there. Terrific map for the republicans to defend and possibly grow in the senate, and while the house is going to be tough, there are fewer tossup seats than many other years. Plus, the opposition. With some frequency, instead of talking about areas where they may be very successful like family separation, they go to abolish i. C. E. They tendency to overplay their hand is a hope for the republican party. Dana we have seen many people saying that they do believe that the democrats could at least win the house. What is the best message for democrats, and why do they think that they could win a Question Mark history is the number one thing. Five out of the last six elections, they are doing great and all of the socalled wave indicators, that would historically indica
