Not funny but this guy handed them to loopers on silver platter. Thanks for watching special report, the story starts right now. Martha i hate when that happens, thank you very much. Tonight, Campaign Manager revving up the crowd in manchester, New Hampshire, we are going to take you there live when the president gets on the stage and begins to speak. First tonight, senator Elizabeth Warren pulling ahead in the latest fox news poll, she is still behind joe biden but she is well ahead of the rest of the field at this stage and her closest contender who shes bent neck and neck with Bernie Sanders has lost several points. The rest of the field of stuck on the launchpad, warren also getting attention in a lot of places tonight for marking five years since the Michael Brown shooting in ferguson, missouri, by calling browns death, a
murder. Five years ago, Michael Brown was murdered by a white Police Officer in ferguson, missouri. He was unarmed, yet he was shot six times. I stand with activists and organizers who continue to fight for justice for michael. We must confront a systemic racism and Police Violence had on. That tweet has now been given four pinocchios by the Washington Post and politifact has now been criticized for bending over backward to not all that claim falls. Just to take you back to that moment five years ago and what followed, a grand jury investigated in missouri, then there was a federal investigation. Both investigations acquitted the officer after they dug into all the evidence, they found that Michael Brown had gone over
to him and assaulted him, they reached into his car and they believed he was trying to get the officers weapon and the dna on the officer and the gun and all of it proved it. You all remember the hands up, Dont Shoot Movement which was a very tense moment in this country when all this is going on. That was the launch and the spark of the black lives matter movement. Hands up dont shoot it didnt according to the investigation that looked into what happened that day. Earlier i spoke with republican senator Susan Collins of maine about this and also about her own push for new guncontrol measures. Do you think its dangerous to talk about what happened in ferguson, this was somewhat separate from the philadelphia issue when youre looking at all of this gun violence is happening around the country and these officers put their lives
in danger, to go back and rewrite what happened with Michael Brown, Kamala Harris has done the same thing. They got called out by the Washington Post for it but these are the sorts of things that are setting campaigns, the truth matters. The truth does matter, and i dont understand why anyone would want to exacerbate tensions, it just doesnt make sense to me. Martha the Police Officers who were in the street in philadelphia while their fellow officers were in the middle of this firefight were pelted by people on the streets in pennsylvania, heres a quick look at that. [shouting] [shouting]
things are being thrown at them, with all the water in new york on Police Officers, theres so much tension. Then youve got these criminals hold up in these buildings shooting at Police Officers, what do you say to the leadership about how to handle this . It seems to me that what we just saw is inexcusable. They were legally trying to serve a warrant and the one thing i have read said it was a minority of that crowd, it was a small number of people who were pelting those officers but regardless, its totally unacceptable and horrific. Martha lets talk a little bit about what youre trying to put forward in terms of gun reforms and gun measures. You have been a lone voice for this in the republican party, you say now there is a moment to
pass some legislation, tell me how it plays out and who is in favor it. First of all im working with senator pat toomey and joe manchin and with the white house on making sure that we closed some loopholes in the Background Check System to ensure people with Criminal Records who are mentally ill cannot purchase firearms. Thats something we ought to be able to unite around. Im not talking about restrictions on family members, i wouldnt support for example the house passed bill. It is overreached, it goes too far. But if we can come together working with President Trump, working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle and to say if you advertise the sale of a firearm over the internet, there should be a Background Check, that makes sense to me. Martha do you think the president will stick with this . What weve seen too many times, people say this is the moment because of dayton and el paso but i have said if it wasnt the moment after sandy hook, why should anyone believe once a few weeks passed, it Doesnt Go Awa away . The president has been engaged and he has talked to Senator Mcconnell who has indicated a willingness to bring that bill to the floor. Martha do you think Mitch Mcconnell will take it up . I do, i think we will see some sort of red flag bill with very strong due process. Martha and you get the house on board with that . They said they arent interested with anything that doesnt include universal Background Checks. Im for comprehensive common sense Background Checks. I grew up in the north of maine were responsible Gun Ownership was part of the heritage of every family. But people dont want criminals and people with serious Mental Illness to be able to purchase firearms, thats just common sense. I think the difference this time as we have had three incidents so close together, then look at what happened in philadelphia as well. We have the president saying he is on board. My hope is the democrats truly want a solution and some progress and they arent going to play political games with this issue. We can make a difference. Martha the House Judiciary Committee wants to revisit the Brett Kavanaugh issue, going back to the bush records and the white house and combing through them to see if theres anything to negate his ability to be a
supreme court justice, what do you say to that . That is absurd. He has been confirmed to the highest court in the land. Ive been watching his decisions, hes in the mainstream. And for the House Judiciary Committee which plays no role in the Confirmation Process at all to say that it has the rights to these confidential records is outrageous. It wouldve never been done if it were the records of President Obamas secretary, that just would not happen. Martha thank you for coming in, good to have you in new york. Joining me now, a Fox News Contributor and ed rendell the former pennsylvania governor and former dnc chairman, great to have you with us tonight. Let me start with what happened yesterday in your home state. The video we showed moments ago of people harassing and pelting the Police Officers, why is there so much disrespect in our cities for the Police Officers . Let me start off by saying Senator Collins was right by saying that was a small minority. Martha she said no matter how many people do it and we saw the Water Dowsing in new york its atrocious. Shes right. Understand the vast majority, 95 of the africanamerican neighbors supported the police, were thankful to the police, credit the police for the way they handle that, for their courage look, weve got to find a bridge so that the community will begin to trust police again. That bridge comes from transparency, it comes from free and open investigations, and youre right. Its important all sides tell
truth for this. Number two, i agree with Senator Collins, this is a point of demarcation. Weve got to do more than just Background Checks and red flags. We got to ban Assault Weapons and ban highcapacity magazines. Think about dayton, and 32 seconds, the shooter in dayton hit 27 people, in 32 seconds with an ar15. In philadelphia, one man with an automatic weapon and unlimited ammunition held off two s. W. A. T. Teams for hours and hours and hours. Civilians have no right martha he had a rap sheet longer than your arm and in many of those cases, there is no serial numbers on the weapons, they are ordering different parts of the internet and putting it together. These are the barriers that exist as Senator Collins was
talking about. If you want to kill people and youre a criminal, youre not going to follow the gun laws we have on the books or any new ones we put forward. If you want to kill people, you can take a car and ram into a group of people which weve seen happen before, you can use a pressure cooker, you can use a knife, theres lots of things that can happen. I enjoyed your interview, if she was in charge of this, and only Susan Collins, i would trust this because she comes from a gun state, she understands the culture, Gun Ownership is something the vast majority of people are very responsible gun owners, what can we agree on . Theres a couple things that are making people on the right nervous about going into this. If its Just Mental Health and people with Criminal Records like the guy who we got in
philly who shouldnt of had a gun and probably shouldnt of been on the street, im okay with that. Most people in red america are too. People on the left are talking about socialism at the same time they are talking about gun control and a lot of redblooded, Red State Americans know what happens in socialist countries. Martha what do you say to that . Shes not reading the polls, 70 of the American People want Assault Weapons band. 72 of American People want high capacity magazines band. 95 of American People want universal Background Checks. If there is almost unanimity in america. If the Republican Senate stops Assault Weapons from being banned in high capacity magazines from being banned, they will lose control of the senate in 2020, i absolutely
promise you. Martha what Susan Collins was saying was can you start somewhere . Can you keep building on that was . The red flag law, the comprehensive Background Check program, as much as what you are saying makes sense to at least 70 of the people as you said, it doesnt look like it can pass in congress. Do you start by picking off some of these pieces and making it tougher . Or do you say because youre not going to side with us, youre not going to side with us, we are going to do nothing. Nothing is not tenable. I agree with you, we should pass whatever we can pass. But let me talk to any senator and say how can your countenance a person in 32 seconds injuring and killing 26 people . I would say this to the other
side. You would have a lot more credibility if the conversation after any of these instances wasnt just about guns. If the left would put as much importance on mental health, on other factors that are planning into the gun violence we are seeing, whether its video game video games, whatever it is. Martha thats with a red flag law hopes to address and you have a lot of libertarians who dont want that. Thank you very much to you both. Israel is sending a clear message to two outspoken congresswoman barring freshmen Democrats Ilhan omar and rashida to leave from entering the country. The decision from Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu coming after a tweet from President Trump saying in part it would show great weakness, they hit israel and all jewish people. Tlaib calls the move a side of
weakness and a muslim ban is what israel isnt lamenting. Here is what President Trump had to say. They said horrible things about jewish people, horrible things about israel and israelis, i think would be a terrible thing for israel to let these two people who speak so badly about israel come in. They have become amazingly the face of the democrats. Martha Fox News Contributor, and a former state Department Official in the Obama Administration, just to show everybody at home, manchester, New Hampshire, they are wrapping up the crowd as the president gets ready to speak to them, we are going to take you there life as soon as that gets underway. You said today about this move, it was a mistake on the part of the president. Is nothing outrageous about it, on one hand its okay for them to boycott israel but its
not okay for israel to boycott them . Its ridiculous. Their outrage is absurd. Its a mistake because it gives them a platform on which to attack israel. I think they wanted this to happen. If you look at the timing of it, they introduce this Boycott Resolution and announce they are going on a trip to israel knowing that israel has a law that says people who support the boycott of israel can be banned. Its suspicious that the timing of this and how this happened i think they wanted this to happen and israel and trump have played into their hands. Theres nothing wrong with israel deciding the people who support the destruction of the state of israel economically shouldnt be there and the fact they are members of congress, israel is barring members of congress isnt outrageous. Whats outrageous as there are members of congress who are virulent antisemites who are supporting the boycott, thats what we should be outraged abou
about. Israel broke with tradition by banning legislators from its closest ally. Its a sovereign nation, it has every right to decide who can come in and who cannot but i have been to israel many times, i find the people fair and open minded, welcoming up other views. This is not in keeping with the tradition of israel. I think these members of congress would have learned a lot by going to israel. They wouldve had a better understanding of israel, some of their opinions are not correct but the only way to correct them is to bring them to israel. Martha that was one of the reasons the Israeli Government government reading Benjamin Netanyahus statement, they didnt ask to meet with any members of the government or estimate with the opposition. It doesnt look like it was going to be a very educational eyeopening experience. Ive also been to the palestinian territories, the west bank, and to gaza so ive
learned a lot from that too. They wouldve seen west bank, thats different from what they think it is like there now. That wouldve been informative as well. They are not open to learning, these people are antisemites. They hate the state of israel, they hate, and they are going to israel in order to use it as a platform to attack the state of israel. This is a problem, the democrats need to get a grip on. The left has been infected with antisemitism. This antisemitism on the right and the left foot on the right, you see it on The Streets Of Charlottesville where there are skinheads running around chanting will not replace us. On the left, its in the halls of congress, on the floor of the house of representatives. You have two members here who are spouting antisemitic diatribes against, Why Dont The Democratic president ial
candidates who today are criticizing israel, i wish they had the same vigor in criticizing omar and tlaib further grants. Your demagogue in this issue now. How dare you say im demagoguing. These are two members of congress, junior members of congress who are not influential within congress, they are not representative of the Democratic Party which is not antisemitic, which is very supportive of jews, and you are now trying to use it to divide the country. It is not in keeping with what happened because both democratic and Republican Leaders in congress are united on the fact that these two members of congress should have been allowed to go to israel. Martha when they had the opportunity to say they were engaging in hate speech i dont like namecalling. I want everyone to have a fair and respectful dialogue, i think mark is passionate about this issue but he was really calling out that these specific members and point
