In alabama over luther strange. You see what could be the continuing cracks in the g. O. P. Establishment as we know it that really began when mr. Trump vanquished so many of them from a debate stage and continues with his banished strategist supporting candidates on the outside. This is not my work. This is our war. [cheers and applause] and you all didnt start it. The establishment started it. But i will tell you one thing, you all are going to finish it. Martha we will speak with one of those, so mike would like to finish it, and Steve Bannons words, is a supporter of dr. Kelly ward, who was standing by. She is campaigning for the now open seat in the senate. We will talk to her in a moment. First we go to capitol hill outside of jeff flakes office. The senator making some very big news today, peter. Are sawed caught up with senator flake after that very dramatic retirement announcement on the senate floor and he explained that he didnt think he would be able to win his republican primary next year running the same kind of republican race that hes won in the past. I think that this spell or fever that we are in right now that is more about your tone and your policies ive spoken to a source close to steve bannon, the former chief strategist was engineering a National Effort to remove republicans from office who he doesnt think are doing enough to help advance the president s agenda and the sources bannon is fired up that flake is quitting, while adding with the surrender of americas number one never nevertrumper, its clear that its an abject failure. But conservatives are not the only ones cheering today. Look at Chuck Schumer smile in this next life and you will see the democrats see an opening in the southwest too. Power player of the week can democrats win . [indistinct] after announcing he would be leaving in 2019, he did say he would work with the president on things like judicial nominees and daca, but the president s spokesperson did not like the tone he used to announce his exit. I thought that his attacks and a lot of the comments that he made i dont have a read out in front of me but as i was watching and i noticed lot of the language i didnt think was befitting of the senate floor. Sanders also at one point referred to his remarks as petty. In his criticism of the president , i asked what he thought of the white house was revealing he said that he invites anybody out there to watch or read his speech and then make up their own minds. Martha thank you very much, peter. Here with moore, bill bennett, host of the building to podcast and a Fox News Contributor and a friend of the story. Good to see you tonight, bill. Im very curious to what your reaction is to all of this. First of all, theres a lot of historical plane. Without a history of members of congress and president s arguing and not so long ago, republicans criticizing nixon. Read Joe Liebermans speech, a fullbore democrat attacking and criticizing bill clinton, just demolishing him for his behavior and this goes way back in american history, so its not groundbreaking. I like jeff flake, i like bob corker, i think theyre good men, but i dont find what they are saying persuasive or convincing. If you say, as jeff flake you have quoted their same coarseness and decency. Terrible disunity in the country, therefore im going to quit. It just doesnt add up. He and corker are quitting, which is a victory for donald trump and now we will see, we will see with the challenges are as you rightly said, we will see what happens with the bannon candidates and others. I just hope we are selective. I hope we dont throw everybody. There were some very, very good republican senators and i hope the challenges that are pushed and supported are people who can win. Martha do you think kelly ward lives in that category . We are going to talk with her in a moment. We will find out. Ive never heard her, but ive heard some very good things about her, but i will be listening intently after im done yapping. One of the thing about corcoran flake is i never heard these guys talk about barack obama like this. When he was taking this country down the tubes economically, taking all of america, black america, White America down the tubes, i didnt hear this kind of criticism. I think a lot of this is very personal and it does go back, as you said in the lead, that you are right, this is november 8th, this is the election. April are still fighting the selection. Martha so much of it, jeff flake said this one peter caught him in the hall, seems to be about tone, and we all know that the president speaks in a way and tweets in a way, he says bob corker couldnt be elected dog catcher in tennessee. He doesnt hesitate and he is course sometimes in the way that he talks about things. But it seems that the American People, theres an interesting poll that shows that people are not considering themselves, im sort of a liberal and sort of a conservative. Im kind of in the middle. They see themselves very clearly in one camp or the other today, and i wonder where that leaves the jeff flakes of the bob corkers of the world. I guess in some ways we are finding out. They are taking themselves out. Its not a bar fight, its not the kitchen table. Our friends at fox and friends go to those diners and they talk to people there. Donald trump talks with people talk when they are having breakfast in a diner, maybe sometimes talk like people talk when there are having a beer somewhere else. He says bob corker couldnt run in win as dog catcher. Come on, the republicans survived this, i guarantee you we can survive this. This is a country that has faced greater challenges. Tone is nice, tone matters, but it doesnt matter as much a substance and were getting some things done. The defeat of isis, really the wrecking of isis, the wrecking of the caliphate, 65 down with the border, the economy is moving. Lets focus on that. Martha one of the things we will focus on tomorrow is opioids, a subject that is near and dear to your heart and to your work in your lifes work as well. What is your message for the folks were going to head into that hearing tomorrow and for the president in terms of what really needs to be done . Do what works. It happened in the late 80s, early 90s. By we i mean the American People. The federal government to the right thing. Advertisers to the right thing, School Teachers and principals to the right thing. We got the messaging right. You have to get after china and mexico for the importation of fentanyl and heroin. You have to get dealers off the street. It does make a difference, the supply. If you have more of the stuff coming and its cheaper and more people get addicted. Thats step one. Step two, the prevention. Thats a big part of the message. Advertising, the president has to leave with the bully pulpit and the advertisers have to step in. Messages in schools, grade School Curriculum for my wife as presented and other folks have worked. All of this is important. The president s leadership is critical, i gave them my recommendations, but others are giving theirs, we will see with the president does. Martha and we were doing that at the white house early, thanks for being with us as always. Good to see you. You bet. Martha senator flakes decision not to seek reelection is very good news for the aforementioned dr. Kelly ward. The Arizona State senator has been running to unseat him in 2018, so she welcomed the news today by tweeting, arizona voters at the big winner. In jeff flakes decision not to seek reelection. They deserve a strong conservative in the senate who supports the president and the America First agenda. Our Campaign Offers an opportunistic path forward for america. Welcome, good to see her tonight. Joining us in an exclusive interview on the story. Thats a reaction i guess what happened today, you must be pretty fired up. Thanks for having me, martha. We are. We do need a positive way forward. We need new leadership, new g. O. P. Leadership in washington, d. C. , and i look forward to being a part of that class of 2019 who was putting the America First agenda out in the forefront, and a policy that we create to secure the border, to stop illegal immigration, to get rid of obamacare, to fix the tax code, to grow the economy, and to make sure our military is the strongest in the world so that we have peace through strength. Martha in terms of arizona. Now jeff flake has taken him self out of the running. The president won arizona by 3. 6 in the president ial race. They wrongly took it by 9 back when he ran. One of the questions is, is somebody going to come into the middle of you and present a threat to your hopes for election . I really dont think so. We have got an amazing professional team. Weve gotten grass roots support like you wouldnt believe across the entire state. We had fundraising that has been out of this world. We have everything in place to be able to get the arizona voters what they are crying out for, a strong conservative leader in the United States senate. Martha what you say to those who put you in the category with sharon engel or todd aiken and go back to the contrail kelly man, which i know you have shut down and so you do not believe in any of those conspiracy theories, but you do get grouped into that group as a risky candidate for the g. O. P. Its a common tactic for the establishment left and right to go after, especially conservative women. But when you look at what have to offer. Im a military wife, im the mom of three awesome kids. Im a family physician. Im a former Arizona State senator who was very, very effective at putting forth great policy that was good for the state of arizona. Those things blow their ridiculous argument out of the water. Martha dr. Kelli ward. You havent done much lately, have you . Glad to see you. A busy woman, great to have you here tonight. Still to come tonight. I would say its the same validity from paddling for years there has been no credible evidence by anyone, in fact its been debunked repeatedly and will continue to be debunked. Martha will Hillary Clinton have to eat some of those words as several congressional committees are now launching investigations into her role in the uranium one deal . They want to know more despite the fact that she says its baloney and is in the past. We will talk to two of the biggest names behind those probes, congressman trey gowdy and senator Chuck Grassley both join me next. Plus, President Trump ghost of a home for lunch with some senators after a tweed storm over breakfast. He wants to get tax reform done. Tony sat from treasury will join me with what he thinks how we think so things went. There will be lots of little moanas.

Martha break tonight, as the roster broke becoming a problem now for democrats . Investigations have a way of migrating in the clintons know that well from prior experience. Today two brandnew investigations were launched on the hill as new information has come to light that raises questions about russian influence during the Obama Administration with this uranium one sale and also the fbi and Hillary Clintons emails. Tonight, two of the top lawmakers behind these investigations join us on the story. We will be hearing from senator Chuck Grassley in just a moment, but we began with House OversightCommittee ChairmanSouth Carolina congressman trey gowdy. Good evening. Great to have you as always. Let me start with the fbi and the email investigation. What is new there that causes a new look at this . I think the most recent new thing is the allegation that director comey, or the viewer may have made up their mind and may of 2016, whereas they announced their decision in july, so they interviewed two dozen witnesses after they had already made up their minds. Thats the allegation, but its more than that. If there were democrats who were really unhappy with the department of justice last fall. Republicans that were unhappy earlier in the air and thats the one entity that everyone has to have confidence in, even if you disagree with the decisions that are reached, you have to understand those decisions and you have to have confidence that they were apolitical so we came up with really six questions that we think are pretty evenly divided in terms of what democrats want to know and what republicans on the department of justice is not above scrutiny and they are not above review. I have Great Respect for them, but they are not above scrutiny. 2016, and my opinion, it left a lot of Unanswered Questions for the department. Martha one of those is why they Hillary Clinton investigation was discussed on the trump investigation in terms of the possibility of russian collusion was not discussed. In terms of what you just mentioned, the political aspect of this, is there any evidence that Loretta Lynch made a phone call that she asked anyone before she took that meeting with bill clinton on the tarmac . If theres evidence of that, i havent seen it. It has not been brought to my attention, but you put your finger on exactly what you need to have investigations. You need to come up with a list of witnesses and of course she has on that witness list and then you need to access the documents. You and i are having this conversation because someone sought to access documents from the department of justice, so you do all of that and then you do your interviews, transcribed interviews, which is my preferred way of doing it, and whatever you learn, you share in a public forum. But you dont start with public hearings, you and with public hearings. You have to do the hard work of investigating before you get to that point. Martha in terms of that, do you expect that you will have access to anyone at the fbi who may have been privy to the writing of the james comey draft when he started to put that together two months before reaching his conclusion about Hillary Clinton . Thats a really good question, and that will be up to the department of justice and so far in some instances we have gotten no better cooperation from the Current Department of justice than we did the president down my predecessors. That remains to be seen, whether or not the department of justice is cooperative. I would remind them of this, congress created them, Congress Funds them and no entity as above oversight. I get oversight done on on the every two years for sure and more often more frequently than that, the department of justice is not above having to explain the decisions they reach or do not reach. It doesnt have to be adversarial, but so far its been really difficult to get information from this department of justice and i would recommend that they change that posture. Martha thats interesting. Heres Hillary Clinton and her reaction to the reopening of these two investigations. I would say its the same baloney theyve been peddling for years and there has been no credible evidence by anyone, in fact it has been debunked repeatedly and will continue to be debunked. Martha she and other democrats on the hill, representative cummings and representative connors are both suggesting that this is just hayes being thrown at the russia investigation in an effort to distract from the trump investigation. I would tell secretary clinton and then the republicans dont get to write the headlines. We dont get to decide what the media covers and what they dont cover. God knows theyve been covering russia since january. I spent all day in a skiff interviewing witnesses related to the russia investigation so i dont know where they were today, but i know where i was, which is investigating allegations of collusion. Im at peace with
