trump is already scrambling the map this year. in utah where the mormon electorate is especially unfavorable to trump his lead is down to 5.5. prompting the campaign to dispatch mike pence to salt lake city less than two weeks before the election to do damage control. he s there tomorrow. mitt romney himself a mormon won utah by 48% in 2012. given trump s polling deficit his lack of ads it came as a surprise that according to the washington post trump has stopped holding high-dollar fund-raisers and relying on online donations which tend to be much smaller. that s after campaign financial reports show more money spent than raised in the month of september. reports add to growing speculation that donald trump is not in very deep psychological sense running to be president of the united states so much as he s running to build up a fan base for donald trump. with the advent of trump tower and then i could advertise a project that i m doing. like doral or something. and spend half a million dollars on it or a million dollars. or i can do the show and spend nothing and be on for a lot longer. on the very day those tapes went public, that s exactly where trump was, doral. his resort and golf club outside miami. the event was ostensibly a campaign photo op with a group of employees, many who are hispanic and support the republican nominee. it sounded like this. 800 acres in the middle of miami. if you look at the ballroom, that was brand-new that didn t exist. it s one of the great places on earth. we had a construction crew here of 1600 people. we rebuilt the whole place in 14 months. we did it under budget although i did increase the scope of the work because we decided to use the finest marbles. while trump was hanging out at his golf course with the finest marbles, hillary clinton was holding an event at broward alternative, which it is a business proposition, a poor business proposition and he s handling it terribly because he s incompetent at doing the one thing he says he s good at. that s a possibility. i think he s far too smart for that and at 70 years old as a billionaire mogul. we ll have to see the tax returns. that s not on his agenda right now. i don t think anyone can doubt this. even if you have the most malicious and nefarious view of donald trump you can t doubt that he s poured his body and soul into this campaign. everyone who runs for president does that. no, no. it s incredibly special. if you were to compare his schedule to hillary clinton s you would see a frenetic campaigner on one side, a man who could be my father all the time, yeah. i could never keep up his schedule versus hillary clinton who campaigns every few days. but you realize this is like one of trump s sons said this is a huge step down for him to run for president. he s not doing it donald trump isn t doing anyone any favors for running to be the most powerful person on the planet, right? i disagree by saying a step down the presidency is never a step down. good, i m glad we agree on that. i think he misspoke there, chris. having said that, i truly believe this, i did, and i came to the trump train late. i m a convert to the trump train. i haven t been drinking trump kool-aid since the very beginning but i ve become a true believer. i really believe this. this man, do you think that at this stage of his life, of his fortune, his career, he needs any of this? no, he doesn t. he is doing this because he sees that our country is gravely ill. we are economically and nationally sick i understand that that s the theory of the case for trump supporters and it s what donald trump says and it s possible that that is actually the case. the other theory of the case and it s not just one that people opposed to him politically believe, but people that share the republican party s beliefs but don t like donald trump is he s fundamentally a narcissist who has become addicted to the attention, is sort of compulsively driven by attention and this has given him an outlet for that attention and crucially doesn t actually care about the party that he is nominally representing in two weeks. that s an important point. chris, to your point, and i will concede this to you, there are some people whom i respect who hold those views. i would counter that by saying that generally they are part of a washington establishment that exists for its own self-aggrandizement yes, i get that. we are the outsiders and the establishment can t stand what we represent. and by the way, i m glad they can t because we re not coming there around the edges. i can say i get that argument. there s some truth to that. you re talking about this wired part of the establishment. but the random mormon voters that wanted nothing to do with the guy are now part of the establishment have come to the same conclusion. thank you. congratulations the campaign just bought a bunch of copies of that book. that s money in your pocket. well, no, it isn t. i ve given away so far $85,000. is that true? $85,000 in royalties so far this year and i ll continue to give it away to anti- pro-immigration causes. trying to make sense of he s going to this hotel. he s at doral today. we ve got the tape saying he s going to his hotel tomorrow. there s a sense in which it could be the case that the incentives of running for president and getting maximum attention for yourself sometimes align and at some point they stop aligning and you just keep going with the incentives for maximum attention for yourself. that s the only incentive he has. so what you said poor steve cortez, what a horrible, horrible job to have to defend this man. and you can see how impossible it is at this point. let me just note on steve s behalf and steve believes in what he s saying and i don t doubt for a moment all the people you see on donald trump have not been drafted into it. everyone has entered into it of their own i don t mean he s doing it against his will. it s a crappy job. no, so i think the point you were making about his need for attention, listen, he has kept upping the ante in terms of getting attention. the new york times peace about michael d antonio s interviews really brought that up again, this desperate feeling that if i m not getting attention, that i barely exist. he s like he s rowing the boat across a river and the promised land is on the other side but there s a hole in the boat and he s bailing, bailing, bailing, and he s bailing so much that he can t actually row the boat. so the promised land is never going to be reached. it s funny you said that because the way this gets understood in the campaign context oh, they re not doing the blocking and tackling, the organizational operational things they need to do in this election, why is he going to his hotel. that s called lack of discipline. if you were just lazy, you would offload that to someone else and let them do the work for you. his incentives are not aligned with the republican party. they are part of the time but not all the time. i also wonder if at this point, given his noted inability to deal with shame, humiliation and loss and what seem like epically deep psychic wounds that he carries around, he just wants to go and be in a place that he feels like he created and right. go back to home. go back to somewhere, something that he maybe can feel good about. yeah, he did end today s doral event by just muttering rosebud over and over again. no, i think the fascinating several different pieces of the trump psyche revealed by what happened today and one of them is this decision not to hold more fund-raisers. what s that about? that s very simple. he s already in revenge mode. desperate. he wants to get the republican party. and if it means blowing up the republican party, the democracy, whatever it takes, donald trump is going to try to get back some semblance of self-worth. and to me, the biggest lesson i ve learned up till now with two weeks to go before the election and the thing i have to take myself back to kind of parse is just how powerful a personality can be when it is as not worried about norms or shame as a normal person. like that s been the big lesson. like, wow, you can really go pretty far and you can get away with a lot. at the risk of violating goodwin s law, this is the big lie, that s why it s so powerful. that most people will not accept the fact that you are who was it that said that eventually donald trump will go on television and insist he never ran for president? his ability to be so shameless, i think that it s impossible for most people to parse. they assume that there must be something to his grandiose self-presentation because who could be a con man on that big of a scale? well yeah, go ahead. my question to you is the other thing you have to remember about this guy is he s not been a politician. running for electoral office is deeply humbling, not in the way like i m deeply humbled. you go and shake hands and beg people for your vote and you lose races. he s not gone through that. so huh reacts this last two weeks is a totally open question. i think it s pretty clear how he ll react. he ll keep doing those things that make him feel like it s somebody else s fault that this has happened and he ll keep doing those things that serve his self-interests. the clash of civilizations that really this represents is between self-interest and a greater interest. it s between me and we. thank god it looks like we is going to win because if it doesn t win, the planet isn t going to survive. and if trump i really believe that. i believe that we re at a turning point here. and there are concentric circles of we, the we of the planet, the we of a whole bunch of stuff. thank you both. the early returns from early voting. president obama s battleground states director on what early votes tell us about where this race stands two weeks out and why the odds democrats take back the senate are getting better after a quick minute break. on the roaoaagn [ front assi sounds [ musi on the roaoaagn [ girl lghs ] ike a band of gypsies weo down the highway [ beetle horn honk standardeature you gete foless than you expeed hurry and lease for just $199 pa month. would you lp me make art?

you have a voter file that has all kinds of different data information on these specific individuals. their vote history, likely candidate preference. all kinds of things that you can look at. what you get then from the county auditor or from the secretary of state are individual level returns. so you know exactly who voted early, and many times you know how they voted early, either in person or by mail. then you can imagine that back to your existing database or voter file. and you know enough about those people you sort of profiled the them whether it s through their age, their education level, their ethnicity to be pretty confident who they re actually voting for based on the models you have. no, exactly right. you look at two separate data points. the first is what we call a preference candidate model. every voter will have a score from 100-1. out of 100 mitch stewarts, barack obama would get 1 vote. ten people would vote for barack obama. 90 for mitt romney. you look at that and then you also look at your turnout score. how likely are you to vote if somebody were not to remind you? you have a score of 100-1 on every single voter in that state. what you want to do with early vote, in most states, you want your supporters who have a middling turnout score, folks you aren t superconfident they will vote on election day unless you remind them. you want them to vote early. if somebody lass a high turnout score, irrespective if you remind them or not. you have the two scores. how likely am i to support the candidate that mitch stewart is supporting which would be barack obama you want people you are sure will vote for your candidate but in the middle of the propensity to turn out bau you can work on them in this sort of sustained fashion for this period and make sure they get in their own time and choosing. that s exactly right. not only do you measure your success from a field operation, you also measure your opponent s success and who are they getting to turn out early? are these getting out election day voters and just doing it early or are they reaching into the people who would be less likely to participate so they re growing their pie? so you look at both. you can do something like in 2012, say in a state like nevada, your campaign basically knew who won nevada before election day. you will have 80% of nevadans vote early. we had about a 12-point lead with 80% of the electorate in. the republicans would be literally like a 70-30 win on election day to make up for that early vote deficit. iowa is another example. just 40% voted early and we had about a ten-point lead. on election day republicans had almost an insurmountable gap to fill. you felt very, very comfortable with a couple of those states or you knew that this could be really, really close like florida. so it does provide you some assurance of what s going to happen on election day. but more importantly from a campaign perspective, it allows you to allocate resources more efficiently. so we stopped spending a ton of money in nevada once we realized that 80% of the electorate voted. we wind down the budget there and focus on a state like virginia where 90% of the state will vote on election day because there s very little vote happening there. we ll check in on elizabeth warren who is speaking moments ago. take a listen. she gets up every day no, i hope you heard donald trump in the debate when he said that he was smart not to pay any taxes. that s right. he is smart and all of you who pay taxes are dumb. everyone who pays taxes. to keep our roads and bridges working is dumb. everyone who pays taxes to support our world class military is dumb. everyone who pays taxes to support medical research and scientific research is dumb. dumb because donald trump doesn t plan to pay. he just plans to use all those things you paid for. what kind of man does that? a selfish little sleazeball. a man who will never be president of the united states. you bet. now, donald trump s been out there. he hasn t been hiding who he is. he s been out there from the very beginning. he s been out there and where has your senator, richard burr, been all this time? i wanted to look this up, make sure i got this right before i came here. richard burr said make no mistake, i am fully supportive of donald trump. no dancing around that one. so donald trump called latinos rapists and murderers and burr fully sports trump. trump called african-americans thugs and donald trump and burr fully supports donald trump. trump attacked a gold star family and burr fully supports donald trump. trump praised vladimir putin and compared himself to dictators. and burr fully supports donald trump. trump calls women fat pigs and bimbos and brags about sexually assaulting women. and richard burr is like a puppy on a leash sticking right there with donald trump. you know, if richard burr is just going to be donald trump s lapdog, then let him go off and do that, but the people of north carolina need a strong, independent voice to fight for the families of north carolina. and that is deborah ross. that was elizabeth warren speaking in north carolina just a few moments ago in support of deborah ross who is the democratic senate candidate challenging richard burr in a tightly contested race, yolking him to trump. as you just saw. spent many years as a nuclear missile launch officer. if the president gave the order, we had to launch the missile th. i prayed tt callwould ver come. self control m be all at keeps these misses frofiring. i wbr id= wbr16813 /> ulbomb the s[ be ]ut of ebe all i want to unpredictable. i lovear. the thoughonald trump with nuclear weapons scares me to death. it should scare everyone. i hillary clinton and i approve this msa. donald trump has spent his entire presidential wbr id= wbr17118 /> xap both obsessed with media coverage and harshly critical of the press. his rhetoric has grown ever harsher in recent weeks as his poll numbers collapsed. these people are among the most dishonest people in the world, the media. /b> they are the worst. they re trying to fix the election for crooked hillary. the media is entitled, condescending and even contemptuous of people who don t share certain elitist views. reporters are ritualistic booed when they re escorted into the trump rallies where they stand in pens and heckled while they cover them. this video shows the view from the press area. reporters describe did vitriol they face at trump rallies as increasingly hostile with people flipping middle fingers at them. a trump rally in cleveland buzzfeed reporter rosie gray reported that two men outside the press pen were quoted picking up after one of the men said the word lugenpresser. lugenpresser. you said it right. that s right. the word that man there was so excited to learn, lugenpresser means lying press in german. and it s the term the nazis used to demonize and the media and stir anti-jew hatred. while trump has traveled further into the fact-free swamp and a cocoon where he doesn t like anything that he says is false. it must be cured if the party is to be saved. we ll break down her diagnosis next.

if they re going to lay it at the feet of donald trump and say, you know, if we d only had a candidate with maybe the same package or policies but a little more empathic gloss, a little less boorish, less bigoted, hadn t been caught on tape saying he harassed women. that s wrong. the problem is not donald trump, the problem is that a large share of their base believes completely bonkers bigoted things. they ve been fed this again and again over year business the right wing what do you mean by bonkers bigoted things. birtherism, data trutherism. is that like large significant parts of fox viewers and conservatives and republicans that think that all the economic data is being juiced. the polls are skewed. even the fox news polls are skewed these days according to the republican base. beyond that, you know, that the weather numbers that we get are wrong. you know, that matt drudge had recently said that nobody should evacuate their homes when a hurricane was coming. right, a liberal media conspiracy. it was a conspiracy. the numbers were made up, the projections were made up to gin up fear about global warming. the idea is that there s this sort of context tu wal environment in which trump has flourished and the environment is more important than trump because the environment is the environment that s so self-contained and untethered from connections to external reality that you can have a candidate like this yes, basically the alt-right for years has created an alternate reality that has ultimately led to trump. you mean the right. the alt-right. i think i would say that there s a self-identified white nationalists of the alt-right. it s larger than that. i don t mean to paint all conservative leaning journalists with the same brush, those that are pedalling crazy conspiracy theories saying that obamaas not born in the united states, there sort of thing. that s part of the issue because there s tons of conservative journalists and writers and folks at fox. there are places that people have integrity. they re opinionated with an ideological ax to grind but who doesn t have one. phil klein has been reporting on obamacare, conservative, doesn t like obamacare, is embedded in the facts of what obamacare is, there s subject matter, knowledge, there s expertise, all these things. that s a very small group of these folks with a very small and my concern is that republican leadership has been playing along for years with these conspiracy theorizers. they re controlled by them. they re terrified of them. look what happened to eric cantor in his primary race to david bratt when basically right wing radio decided to take him on. so i think there are two issues going on here, why they haven t been willing to take on the crazies essentially. one is that they desperately need the imprimatur of these places because they re influential, handy is influential, drudge, whoever else, if they tick them off, they ll potentially lose those voters. to some extent the conspiracy theories have served their interests, in the short term. the popular mandate of the first black president, maybe that was useful to their cause in the near term, but in the long run it stoked a lot of racial resentment. the same thing with clinton voter fraud. it has been extremely useful. but in the pretext by which they passed actual pieces of legislation that made it harder for actual populations that actually vote for democrats in large numbers to vote. yes, and in the long run it set the stage for a presidential candidate to explain to his many voters that the election will be sto stolen from them. today a large share of republicans in particular believe that that election will be stolen. i think that it s absolutely the case and you re seeing it in its sort of death throes now. karl rove in 2012 saying it s not over. but then they just went back to the script. the big question for the right is do they go back to the script or is there some kind of reckoning and catherine rampell, thanks for joining me. proud of y, son. ! a manufacturer. well that s why i dug this out for you. it s your grdpappy s hammer and would have wanted y to have it. it meant aot to him. yes, ge makespowerful . bui lle writing the code yes, ge makespowerful . that will allow those machines to shai be changi the y the worlworks.

so, jim, unlike katie mcginty, i m not a hyperreflexive ideologue who thinks he has to give blind obedience to his party s nominee. so i guess that means you haven t been waiting for this debate? i have refused to endorse donald trump. katie mcginty says that s supporting donald trump. that doesn t make any sense. look, i m not going to badger you to say something that you re not going to say, but don t you think your constituents, the people of pennsylvania deserve to know if you re going to support the nominee of your party? i don t think my constituents care that much how one person is going to vote. they re going to make their own decision. something new has arrived. iquely designed fo the driven. intring the rst-ever infiniti qx30 0 ossover. visit your loc infiniti retailer today. infiniti. power the drive. naator: adventure start isn forest.re but theo kubo: i spy somethg ginbeetle: snow. kubo: no. beetle: snow cored trees. monkey: noing too with snow. rrator: headutside to discover incredible animals d beautiful plants th come together to create an unforgettable adventure. kubo: wow! narrmonkey: so gradon t even.d ones narrator: and explore a world of possibilities. narrmonkey: kubo: comen, this way.s narrator: visit discerthorest.org narrator: and explore a world of possibilities. tod the closes forest opark to you. u.s. service member. 34-year-old chief petty officer was attached to a navy s.e.a.l. team advising troops. he was in a vehicle and telling other members of his team he had spotted a roadside bomb when he was killed. he leaves behind a wife and a 7-year-old son. the stakes of this battle with both american and iraqi troops in harm s way are clear and progress has been steady in first week of the operation. iraq s prime minister says the offensive is going faster than planned. u.s. command says iraqi forces are making solid progress. but the attack on mosul is turning out to be a total disaster. we gave them months of notice. the u.s. is looking so dumb. vote trump and win again. that tweet prompting this response from secretary clinton. i was so appalled when donald trump tweeted that the new effort under way to push the terrorists out of the key city of mosul is already, and i quote him, a total disaster, and that our country is again a, quote, looking dumb. really?

you know, and if you called it trumpcare, it would probably poll better or call it like powellcare, it s the social with president obama that drove down the approvals. obviously for some people the premiums are going up, it will be a hardship, but much more than the exchanges. the gaurns on coverage and parents plans. you re saying the bill itself, the law itself. you can stay on till you re 26 there s a whole lot of laws about pushing the cost down and innovation in medicare and medicaid delivery and health systems and integrated care and there s no lifetime maximums, yada, yada, but a tiny percentage of voters are in there. but if we re dealing with a candidate who had any grasp of public policy or the idea of how to talk to voters 13 days before an election, we might see someone who could frame could make that argument. very clearly. this is a horrible day for sort of obamacare and ergo hillary clinton. trump can t help but make everything either, a, about himself or he doesn t much knew, know about obama, the language of this man is deplorable. he didn t seize the opportunity to break it down to the public. everyone is there asking him questions about it. he could have walked them through it briefly. to me it remains so we were talking about there s 3% of the people who are roughly insured should get their insurance through the exchanges. 80% of them are subsidized, more or less, we re talking about 1% of people that get the full heft of this subsidy increase. there are 7 million people who are not on the exchanges but are buying plans, individual plans or small plans so they ll also see the premium hikes. this is the a small percentage of voters. this law as controversial as the day it passed is actually a thing out there in the world which i have to say continues to astound me. because i don t think that was the expectation. i think president obama was not great about selling it in the early years. that s one problem. they tried to rectify that. i do think that the reason the focus is on the exchanges is that the exchanges are the broken part. and the interests that want to kill obamacare would not want to focus on the parts that are very, very popular, such as you can t be denied coverage for a prior condition and if the conditions were such that you could focus on the popular part, it would probably be a different conversation. kind of weird that none of the democrats or the gop has managed to really steer that conversation in the presidential election. but here s what i want to ask you as a political scientist, i sort of feel in the long run that the sort of lines of politics and policy should converge, right? if there s something that there s a lot of scare tactics and it will destroy america and turn us into this socialist monster and the thing happens and it s not that but maybe has some broken parts but opinion would converge on it but instead a health reporter called it like roe v. wade, there s no convergence on the sense it s just as polarizing. people have their fixed views about these things despite the fact that it s an operating thing that you can empirically assess. that goes back to nick s point when obama did something that fdr couldn t do, something lbj couldn t do and william jefferson clinton couldn t do and he passed obamacare and put his name on it. he took the negative. they put his name on it. exactly. but he never framed this. we saw it with the stimulus package and the affordable care act. there s still so much confusion and misinformation from the very beginning we re still sort of seeing how this has played out eight years after the fact. there s fascinating science that shows people s perceptions of what it is and what it constitutes and who it helps are crazy skewed. people perceive the stimulus bill and obamacare to be aimed at black people that it s not true which accounts for the hatred and resistance to it. who benefits from it. he s done very few racially targeted policies. you know, he is under the for better or worse, but you know all what is it, all tides lift all boats? yes, so there s going to be certain segments of the population that are disaffected good or bad but this is not a racially targeted policy by any stretch of the imagination. but that doesn t mean the perception of it perception becomes reality. democrats thought this would be a real boon to them. bill clinton said pass it, people will love it. that will be a political boon. that s not been the case. it s not the kryptonite that republicans believe. republicans keep thinking obamacare is so terrible. you want to reject this. look at the demographics. not getting republicans rich. there are certain republicans who are destitute and they realize a small segment realize that this is actually what s been keeping them afloat. that s true. so many people are one injury away from yeah. but also like with people on the exchanges, the people
campuses, in part because many students feel that going to an elite undergrad institution is not going to improve their chances in the economy. eli stoeblckoles, heidi przybyla, and jason johnson. tonight on all in. i got the white supremacist, the neo-nazi, i got them all. what the president did this summer. kkk, we got kkk. i got em all. response to charlottesville. very fine people on both sides. the response in north korea. they will be met with fire and fury the response to ht hurricane. the intensifying russia investigation. my son is a wonderful young man. he took a meeting with a russian lawyer. the fights with his own disa. where america stands after its first summer of trump. i don t think anyone is interested in having a shutdown. no chance, we won t raise the debt ceiling. no chance. networ america s not going to default. we have to close down our government, we re building that wall. all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. this is normally the time of year, right after the labor day weekend, when congress returns to washington, after a slow and sleepy recess, and the news cycle finally starts to crank back up again. but this year, with this president, hardly a summer day passed by without some big bombshell story. huge developments in the russia investigation, a near crisis with north korea, the infamous two sides response to the violence in charlottesville, steve bannon was fired, transgender troops were banned, sort of, and sheriff joe arpaio was pardoned. and that was just in august. most presidents head into their first september hoping the wind at their back can help drive a busy legislative agenda. this president ends the summer setting records with his dismally low approval ratings, including the lowest park ever for a president in his first year. by the end of last month, the president was at 34%. to help with the summer of trump in perspective, i m joined by harry enton, senior political writer for 358, tara dowdel, and jess mcintosh, a former adviser for the clinton campaign and current executive editor of share blue. good to have you here. let s start with a snapshot of where the president is political my. maybe i ll start with you, because you do a lot of analysis of polling. how would you characterize where the president is politically? lowest i ve ever seen. those numbers tell the story, don t they? look at the president s disapproval rating. already in the high 50s. his net approval rating, more than 20 percentage points of the country disapprove than approve of the president. we ve simply never seen that. i guess if we had polling back with warren g. harding we would, watching the president. there was literally one day of an eclipse that was the one slowdown. and i remembered watching the eclipse news cycle play out, i was like, this is what news cycles used to be like. but instead, we re all tuned into this. and of course, a small piece of his base is eroding every time he does something massively unpopular, really racist, really bigoted. every time he fails to enact some piece of his agenda that his base was excited about doing. he hasn t done anything that they wanted and he s done so much that the rest of the condition didn t want. i think the polls are more important than usual, because america has this we need to know that there are more people who don t like this than there are. but i want to ask you this as someone who worked in the clinton campaign. because i feel like i m not saying this is not true. the polling is what the polling is. he s clearly very unpopular. he lost the popular vote by 3 million votes. so it s not surprising in some ways, right? but there was also this sense that people said very similar things about him during the campaign, which he ended up winning, right? yes. that his approval ratings are in the 30s, he s incredibly unpopular, ya dada yada. are you haunted in some part of your mind? like we maybe got it wrong that time. i am haunted regularly, always. but, it was a hypothetical then and now it s real. so you re saying that s the difference. the difference is between, i m going to vote for this person and what i m going to do is vote and then we ll see what he s like to this is what he s like. how many people voted for him because they thought he would drain the swamp. how many people voted for him because they thought he would keep out muslims and build a wall. that s what they thought they would do, but he s not doing that. and it s negative polarization. that is still with us. people are motivated by the people they don t want to see in the office. so the support that he retains, i think, when he has those flashpoint moments, that s when he retains it. that s when the media is ganging up on him and he can just say, it s all fake news and we re against them. but if we wipe away all the crazy headlines and the fog and the nonstop news soik here. what we re seeing with the trump administration from the get-go is the same thing that republicans and libertarians criticized obama at in his second term, which is, it s just a pen and a phone. there isn t a lot of legislation happening. which is usually not what s happening in your first hundred days, first year. particularly when you have congress, that s when you do it. and he has spent a lot of his capital burning his capital. he s going after jeff flake and dean heller. he s trying to primary people and reshape the republican party to be more trumpy. and this is making a lot of republican senators really unhappy. that s not going to get tax reform done. do you think that matters? so, there s two issues, right? there s the general sense of how popular he is. and then there s how that connects to whi s ts to what ki influence, power, and capital he has to spend on capitol hill. how do you think those two relate at this moment? i ll play devil s advocate a little bit here. i think with respect to trump s base, while maybe there are portions of it that have evoed roded, there s a lot of talk about sort of the working class people that voted for him. but a lot of very wealthy people in this country, a lot of educated people this this country voted for donald trump. the best one-word summary of who voted for donald trump is republicans. republicans voted for donald trump. like, if you re trying to figure out republicans voted for donald trump by overwhelming margins. particularly a slice of people that didn t like him in the primary and maybe aren t crazy about him now. so i think those people are eroding, but with respect to his core base, and i call them fans, he has a cult-like following in this cub. and he is putting on the greatest reality show he s ever put on. this is what he s doing. he s entertaining these people, they like the fact that some people actually like the fact that nothing s happening. because they wanted him to quote/unquote blow up washington. and that s exactly what he s doing. so some people have sort of bought into that rationale and they use it to justify continuing to support him. so i think that we shouldn t underestimate the strength of who he s performing for. he s performing for those fans and those fans still support him. i think there s an important distinction there. there are some people who support trump or support him in spite of the antics and the personality. and there are some people who support him primarily because of that. and it s the latter category that i think are the fans and the base that are the 30% or what. it s the more marginal voters who are the people that are where a lot of the political leverage is, particularly when republicans on capitol hill are thinking about it. i ll say two things. number one, trump s approval rating among republicans in the latest gallup weekly poll was below 80%. that s amazing. you would expect your republican base to be overwhelmingly support you, not just four out of five. the other thing i pointed out, the pew research center had a great question. how do you approve of the president s not just his performance, but his attitude and conduct in office? and only 14% of americans said they liked it. in fact, the plurality of republicans said they had mixed feelings. they do not necessarily like this show. there are some people who certainly do, who want to burn everything to the ground. but most people who voted for donald trump were hoping that he would actually do something. and if you look at the legislation passed so far, i think the opinion is he really hasn t. and that brings us to whether he has any sway on capitol hill. we saw he really didn t during the health care fight. he did a little bit in the house, i think they re a little more responsive to him, those are gerrymandered districts. those are districts where a primary from a trump-backed perp could spell the end of your political career. but in the senate, not only does he not have any sway, he doesn t appear to have the tools or comprehension necessary to make a policy argument to people, which actually do matter. he didn t try. like, he never tried to have policy sway. every time he gives a speech or a rally, it s about himself. he s never i mean, he tried to give a tax speech just last week and it was about himself and eventually an attack on claire mccaskill. i did not walk away from that speech knowing what his tax plan was going to be. and i think that the republicans on the hill had to have been really disappointed in that. he s just not he s not able to and he s not willing to learn how. but let s separate the legislative trump agenda and what tara is saying. the guy has control over the kpes executive branch of government. and he s doing things or trying to do things, some of which i like and the rest of you may not, in terms of reforms at the food and drug administration. he s got people who are working on regulatory reform in a lot of different places you were right the first time. i saw you catch yourself. but, so, that is happening apace and some of the only legislation that s opinion passed by kopg ththe congressio review act for the second and 14th times in history. that s different and a real thing that s happening. it s gotten way undercovered because we pay attention to flash grenades. and to me the most significant is what s happening with dhs and i.c.e. and what s happening with immigration. it s very different in terms of who s being detained and how often. and doj with jeff sessions, who hasn t done every terrible thing he wants to do, but wishes he could. but ultimately, you get judged by legislative accomplishments, both at the ballot box that s not true. you get judged by how people s lives are going. and right now the economy continues to hum along. do you if you had to make a prediction about whether he can get people onboard for any big bills passed this fall, what do you think? i think he s going to have a really tough time doing so. because trump s worst enemy is trump, right? so he he misses to your point, he misses opportunities. when he does have the bully pulpit, but he can t help himself and he has to use it to attack someone. i want to make another point, though. with trump supporters, because i think that we have to not underestimate trump, as a democrat, i think we have to be very careful that we don t underestimate. there also was a poll that came out that said a massive number of republicans think that the media is a bigger threat than white supremacists. white supremacy! yes! that is clearly trump s influence. 40% total thought the news media was more a threat than white supremacists. and for trump voters, it s 75%. look how much stronger trump is against the news media than he is against white supremacists, of course they think that. and i want to talk about that. stay with me. because in two minutes, i want to talk specifically about the president s response to charlottesville. that s right after the break. coming up later in the hour, we have a special retrospective, a look at the incredibly shrinking administration. the era of the pajama boy is over january 20th and the alpha males are back. i m milissa rehberger with your top stories. ahead of the president s expected announcement tomorrow on 800,000 young immigrants, some republicans in congress are calling for him to keep the daca program. republican lawmakers like james langford of oklahoma say it s wrong to hold children accountable for their parent s decision to bring them to this country. and aaa says average gas prices this holiday weekend are up about 12 cents a gallon after hurricane harvey knocked refineries offline. all all in with chris hayesai after this. aggressive styling, so you can break away from everyone else. the bold lexus is. experience amazing. club in new jersey, the president gave his first remarks on the attack, saying he blamed for both sides on what unfolded. the comment drew swift criticism. a day later, he gave another statement, a scripted condemnation of the hate groups involved. but then tuesday came, and in an impromptu prmess conference, donald trump reached what may have been the lowest point of his proteesidency. i ve condemned neo-nazis, i ve condemned many different groups, but not all of those people were neo-nazis, believe me. not all of those people were white supremacists, by any stretch. you had some very bad people in that group. but you also had people that were very fine people on both side sides. why that the post-charlottesville moment, more than any moment, of all we ve talked about, the news cycles of trump, seemed to hit something. it seemed to strike some core nerve in people. and there s evidence of that. there s some evidence in the polling, but also in terms of the business groups leaving and being denounced. why? he sympathized with nazis. we ve never had an american president do that before in our lifetime. i think it s that simple. those aren t american values, any can quote the secretary of state, his own secretary of state. america does not condone those values. america fights nazis. and here we have this person who is giving the exact inverse of what he said about mexicamexica that first day that he announced his candidacy for president, he said, they re sending racists and some, with i suppose are okay. he said the exact inverse about nazis. there are a lot of good people in there. some are obviously bad, but overall i think some people on the right kind of scared themselves. i think some even who identified in the alt-right scared themselves. there s a good piece in the new york magazine about the end of the nazi is over because they actually marched and actually had arm bands on there, like, oh, i ve got a tiki torch and outside a black church, what the hell am i doing? scared themselves. that s a very interesting idea. this harkens back to a speech in warsaw, it was really weirdly apocalyptic about how the west will never ever, ever fall. and he was going to defend us against this sort of imminent fall. and who were the people that were going to undermine this apparently fragile west that s been pretty successful over the last 250 years? it was obviously islamic terrorists. but it was also faceless bureau cat accurates who don t understand our value or in the language cherish our history. so they re trying to make us all this kind of one person. that kind of sense of apocalyptic clinching of a narrow view of what western civilization is, he has that in common with the protesters in charlottesville, even if that s i m not saying that, well, he s a racist or a white supremacist, but that s a common trope on the white, at this moment. and a lot of people who realize that and have, including a lot of republicans, like, oh, crap, this is where we re going with all of this. i think i m curious to get your feedback, too, on one of the things that was so revealing about it was, the initial reaction, he ad libbed both sides. he had a prepared statement. he ad libbed both sides, and then came out with the scripted statement, and then that tuesday press conference. and another breaking point was, i think in people s imaginations, like, don t believe anything anyone writes for this guy. like, don t just don t chalk it up to him. right. just only listen to what he says when he s unscripted. because that s when you re actually getting him. exactly. and here s the thing. he was so angry that he did not get a positive reception to his remake of what he had said. and that s why he came out. because he didn t want to make those scripted remarks, he didn t want to make against his will, that s right. he didn t want to make those remarks. so then he felt justified when he wasn t given it will adoration ande edand adieulatio giving those remarks. i want to show this, when he was in phoenix, like, he s the victim. what more do you want of me? i ve gone after all of them. take a listen. i hit em with neo-nazi, i hit em with everything. i got the white supremacist, the neo-nazi, i got em all in there. let s see. kkk, we have kkk. i got em all. just literally checking boxes. he s checking boxes. and it s all about him. this is the thing, right? if you look at the pre-election polling, over 50% of the american public thought that racist was a correct adjective to describe donald trump. and i think there were so many people pre-election polling? pre-election. and he was still able most of the people who voted for him didn t think that. but remember, he lost the popular vote. although, let s be clear, there were some who did. there were some. there s a non-statistically trivial percentage of voters who thought donald trump was a racist and voted for donald trump. and voted for him, anyway. not necessarily, anyway. right, both ways. right. but i ll just say, this just confirms the worst thoughts that many americans had about him. and that s why this was such a turning point. oh, my god, he s doing what we thought he might do. tara? and i also think it was hard trump couldn t use his bully pulpit and his rhetoric to get himself out of this. people saw the video foot animal of of a car driving into a crowd at top speed a young woman was murdered! and bodies flying up into the air. they saw a young woman lose her life for saying that she was standing up against hate and bigotry. they heard people marching, with torches, saying the jews will not replace us. blood and soil, blood and soil, which is a nazi chant, which they were doing on the friday night march, which is the one that he went out of his way i mean, that was to me the most mind boggling statement. that march, the tiki torch march was the one he said he said, the night before, there were some very fine people. those people, who were swarming outside the synagogue in charlottesville, i mean and no matter where you got your news from because remember, there s also this bifurcated selection news problem that we have in this country. and so, so it didn t matter where you got your news from, you couldn t miss all of that. it was just everywhere. and so that s why i think he took a real it h hit on this, deservedly. and there was no pretense. i looked through the information. the information leading to the unite the right rally, all the iconography and their posters was fascist looking. the people on record were on record saying a lot of racist things. the monument protection society wouldn t join the protest, because they were like, these people are creeping me out. thank you all so much for your time. still to come, the is intensifying russian investigation. what we ve learned. what we still don t know. where the investigation is headed this fall. plus, how many people in this picture still work at the white house? the numerous administration officials who are gone but not forgotten. i like mr. bannon. he s a friend of mine, but mr. bannon came on very late you know that. but we ll see what happens with mr. bannon. but he s a good person and i think the press treats him, frankly, very unfairly. and i m still not ready. the reason i m telling you this is that there will be moments in your life that. you ll never be ready for. your little girl getting married being one of them. the whole country booking on choice hotels.com. four words, badda book. badda boom. let it sink in. shouldn t we say we have the lowest price?

i m sorry. better? better now? better now? you guys heard me in the front, though? what d i say, john? reporter: tonight, a major staff shake up in the embattled west wing. chief of staff reince priebus is out. he intuitively determined that it was time to do something different. and i think he s right. reince priebus is a believe paranoid skitz freng and what he s going to do, maybe if i leak something and see if i can [ bleep ] these people. the president certainly felt that anthony s comments were inappropriate for a person in that position. reporter: scaramucci, originally praised by the president, targeted white house staff with a profanity-laced rant. i m not steve bannon. i m not trying to suck my own [ bleep ]. and that s what the mainstream media won t report. they re absolutely dead wrong about what s going on today, because we have a team that s just grinding it through. i like mr. bannon. he s a friend of mine. reporter: the now ousted chief strategist telling bloomberg he s leaving the white house to fight for president trump. mr. bannon came on very late. you know that. reporter: bannon now becoming one of the last west wing originals to leave the picture. you know, the message i have, it s a very simple one, bumper sticker, the era of the pajama boy is over january 20 skpth ane alpha males are back. you know, you made news last week by resigning from the white house. they have a different take on how you left. so this does not prove that kirk was fired, but he s definitely not allowed back. don t test donald j. trump. it seems the era of seth gorka at the white house is over. and i will remember you sailin away on the crest of a wave, it s like magic rollin and ridin and slippin and slidin it s magic introducing the all new volkswagen tiguan. higher and higher, baby the new king of the concrete jungle. i was playing golf love golf.. i used to love golf. wait, what, what happened? i was having a good round, and then my friend, sheila, right as i was stepping into the tee box mentioned a tip a pro gave her. no. yep. did it help? it completely ruined my game. well, the truth is, that advice was never meant for you. i like you. you want to show me your swing? it s too soon. get advice that s right for you. investment management services from td ameritrade. take 5, guys. tired of your bladder always cutting into your day? you may have overactive bladder, or oab. that s it! we really need to get with the program and see the doctor. take charge and ask your doctor about myrbetriq (mirabegron) for oab symptoms of urgency, frequency and leakage. it s the first and only oab treatment in its class. myrbetriq may cause serious allergic reactions. if you experience swelling of the face, lips, throat or tongue, or difficulty breathing, stop taking myrbetriq and tell your doctor right away. myrbetriq may increase blood pressure. tell your doctor right away if you have trouble emptying your bladder or have a weak urine stream. myrbetriq may affect or be affected by other medications. before taking myrbetriq, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. common side effects include increased blood pressure, common cold symptoms, urinary tract infection, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness and headache. okay, time to do this! don t let your bladder always take the lead. ask your doctor if myrbetriq is right for you. and visit myrbetriq.com to learn more. nitrites or artificial ham has preservatives.tes, now it s good for us all. like those who like. sweet those who prefer heat. sfx - a breath of air and those who just love meat. oscar mayer deli fresh. sweet! it s easy to lose track of the many developments in the russia investigation or just the last few months. remember, in july, when news broke that donald trump jr. took a meeting with a russian lawyer during the presidential election, a meeting that was pic pitched as the russian government s explicit interest in helping the trump campaign. don jr. came out with a statement on the intent of the meeting that we later learned left out basically every key detail. and now that statement is reportedly a matter of interest to special counsel, robert mueller, because, it turns out, the president himself had a hand in crafting it, a fact the president s attorney initially denied. then in august, we learned the fbi had conducted a surprise raid of the home of former trump campaign chairman, paul manafort, and robert mueller issued grand jury subpoenas for the testimony of p.r. executives who worked with manafort. now there s the latest revelations about efforts to build a trump tower moscow during the campaign. as the bigger picture starts to come into focus, the question becomes, where does the investigation go from here? we have just the people to talk about that, former watergate prosecutor, nick ackerman, who s been following the russia developments with all summer. rebecca trayster. maria hiddnojosa, and josh barr, senior editor at business insider. nick, let me start with you. you ve been very clued into this and you also have been around, done this rodeo before. how big are the developments of this summer? huge pip mean, the biggest development, i think the key one is the meeting that took place at trump tower, on june 9th. i mean, that is going to be the focal point of every investigation. when we learned that, i had a great moment in the snl skit of lester holt interviewing donald trump, where he like admits he was thinking about russia, with james comey. and michael shea playing lester holt was like, did i get him? like, is that it? like, you just admitted it. and that e-mail felt like just, okay, did we we have it, right? we have the evidence here? not completely. not completely. i think there s more to it. the question is the documents that were promised to be brought to that meeting. interestingly, nobody has fessed up to those documents. but we do know that two months the dirt on hillary clinton. that was the idea delivering dirt on hillary clinton? and we do know two months prior to that meeting that go z guccifer and the russians had hacked into hillary clinton s campaign office and had retri e retrieved e-mails and documents. that s a great point. we also know that two weeks after that meeting, all of a sudden, those documents appear on the internet and then appear on wikileaks, and we also know that roger stone, the president s chief kind of dirty tricks guy, was in contact with julian assange and guccifer, immediately after that meeting on june 9th. i think there s lots of questions there. rebecca, you covered the clinton campaign. and one of the things that strikes me when i go back and look at the campaign footage is how much they were talking about this, from the beginning. it is striking to go back to debates and realize, like, it was all happening in realtime and the clinton campaignrealtim. yeah, hillary clinton was talking about so many of the details. i saw a clip of her talking about joe arpaio. she was talking about so much, but especially about russia. they clearly were keeping track of this as best they could and trying to piece things together as best they could. but it wasn t sinking in. they weren t listening. i wasn t listening. as someone who was covering the campaign, i wasn t thinking about russia s role. i was listening, but i don t know, it was a claim of an opponent against another opponent. it wasn t it didn t feel real. you know, i was paying attention, but trying not to get sucked into a conspiracy theory, you know? and that was the dynamic in play, because lots of people on the left were also saying, this is crazy conspiracy theory. th this couldn t be real. and i m a little bit concerned. as someone who actually had to do the bomb shelter thing when i was a kid in grade school, i ve been hyperaware of it. and i am a political junkie, like all of us, right? so everything we re watching, every step, but i do worry, out there. kind of like when i was a kid, watching watergate, and you just heard all the names and they were just kind of flying by you and it just becomes this huge thing. that s what i m concerned about. that for everybody else, it can continue to be this thing that donald trump will say, oh, you see, it s just them coming after me. and i wonder how we as a country and as journalists kind of flip it. well, i think watergate is sort of an interesting precedent, right? it was like all these names, and eventually, it wasn t. exactly. i think the other thing we don t have yet is an indication of a specific policy action for russia in exchange for this. i think the problem with this as an issue is sort of, did we this is a disinformation campaign. if you show, yeah, russia did this, and yeah, trump knew about it and mad conversations with him about it, fundamentally the mechanism by which the election was influenced is that americans received the information and decided to vote for donald trump instead of hillary clinton. you re never going to convince people that that was the error that they hacked into american s minds and caused them to vote the wrong way. ultimately, the final decision was made by american voters. so this never ends up adding up to like russia stole the election? because it was american voters the crime, it is worthwhile to keep in mind, the crime was committed. there s a crime. criminal intrusion of e-mails is a crime. but that s not a crime committed by the trump campaign. but it s a political question. there probably will be indictments of various people. but the decision about whether this ends the trump administration says political question with congress and other actors. that s true pip also think that to me, i have had my own journey on this. that that meeting to me, that meeting the meeting e-mail was an important one for this reason. i did not think the day before that e-mail came out that that e-mail would have existed. that seemed implausible and cartoonish and conspiratorial against all imaginings. and it came out and that altered my priors about what i m expecting to come out. but you add to that e-mail exactly the explanation that donald trump wrote for his son, which is so antiseptic they lied. they lied and they put in a statement by kushner, which also dovetails with junior s statement. it s like classic investigation. you get two guys who come in, they give you a totally nonsense story. and then you ve got the opportunity to chip away at it. right. i think there is this psychological issue, though, for a lot of regular americans, and those of us political junkies who are watching this and watching these headlines and being surprised, oh, my god, did we get him? is that it? that s it? right? we now know this happened? which is, is there going to be a point where anybody can say, okay, now a mechanism is going to kick into place. and that s a question, with i don t know, did people ask that throughout watergate and suddenly there was a mechanism whereby this kicks in? a lot of people are like, we got him, right? but why isn t anything happening? and we feel paralyzed and passive, and what s going to happen next? here s what i will say. i think mueller is going to do something, at some point. that seems to me, and i m curious what you think of it, that when mueller moves, in whatever direction he moves, if he indicts someone, if he releases some report, that s going to be a forcing mechanism, i think, in terms of the public awarene awareness. maybe not. yes, but also what happened just recently is donald trump pardoned joe arpaio. so for me as a latina, as a mexican, i kind of get the message. the president is pardoning someone who specifically targeted people just like me, illegally, and the president pardoned him. and he s a political ally. right. and that s the message. for everybody else, don t worry, we re going to i m going to pardon you, and a lot of people feel like that pardon was a signal. that s what makes the news this week about mueller cooperating with new york attorney general, eric schneiderman, so important. because the president can t issue pardons for state crimes. the attorney general of new york has immense authority to prosecute financial crimes. they re doing a lot of financial investigations around at least manafort, maybe other figures. so i think that gives mueller the threat of prosecutions that the president can t interfere with. that also says how advanced that investigation is and how serious it s going to get in the fall. and i think that s when mueller starts to move in public ways is when things are really going to change, i think. republicans head back to the hill to work on the agenda of a president who spent the summer attacking them with key deadlines in the coming weeks. a preview of the major fights to come. build that wall. now, the obstructionist democrats would like us not to do it. but believe me, we have to close down our government, we re building that wall. .there s febreze fabric refresher. febreze doesn t just mask, it eliminates odors you ve. .gone noseblind to. and try febreze unstopables for fabric. with up to twice the fresh scent power, you ll want to try it. .again and again and maybe just one more time. indulge in irresistible freshness. febreze unstopables. breathe happy. ethat s the height ofs mount everest. because each day she chooses to take the stairs. at work, at home. even on the escalator. that can be hard on her lower body, so now she does it with dr. scholl s orthotics. clinically proven to relieve and prevent foot, knee or lower back pain, by reducing the shock and stress that travel up her body with every step she takes. so keep on climbing, sarah. you re killing it. dr. scholl s. born to move. tell the people of texas to expect in terms of long-term recovery efforts? and in particular, you have been feuding with some key congressional leaders. you ve also threatened a government shutdown, potentially, next month over border wall funding. are these going to hamper long-term, the funding that will be needed long-term for recovery? no, jud. ping that you re going to see very rapid action from congress, certainly from the president. and you re going to get your funding. hurricane harvey could end up being one of the most costly natural disasters in u.s. history, but when congress returns tomorrow, one of the things on the table is a $1 billion cut in disaster funding in order to fund donald trump s border wall. a wall the president is threatening to do battle with his own party over. build that wall. now, the obstructionist democrats would like us not to do it, but believe me, if we have to close down our government, we re building that wall. still with me, nick ackerman, rebec rebecca, maria hinojosa, and josh barrow. they re already basically signaling retreat on the wall fight. they re going to blame it on harvey. but there s two ways to think about the wall. it s the symbol they ll never deliver on, because all that matters is the symbol and the thing they ll never do. which do you see it as? i think that this is going to continue to we re going to talk about it, but i m not so sure it s going to get done. i just don t i was on park avenue and i saw the picture on the daily news, i had just come back from being out of the country, and it was like, build the wall, it was trump s face, on park avenue, on the daily news. build the wall or i ll kill this government. and that s a point where i think some people are just going to say, i don t this is not the way right, exactly. and they ve already indicated they don t like the politics of it. now they have the excuse, sort of, frankly, of harvey. and they re already saying, let s just kick the can on the shutdown fight. my best guess is that this is where we could see the true explosion or implosion of trump s relationship with congress, which has been a really interesting dynamic for these very long seven or eight months. because they keep supporting him, they won t, you know, the republican leadership is supporting him in these really antidine ways when he s done terrible things. you have paul ryan say things like, racism is bad, but not mentioning donald trump. and the idea is they re getting something from him. they have majorities, a republican president, this unprecedented amount of power and that they should be getting something because they re working as a team, so they re supporting this guy that most of them clearly can t stand and he s a real piece of work. he s a real piece of work. but we look weak, in fact, because we re continuing to support this guy. but his frustrations with them have been building, obviously, were building through health care. he s now pretty open about his loathing for mitch mcconnell. i mean, there s been good reporting on that, too, that they openly hate each other now. and i think that s coming through on ryan, too. and what happens when that when those bonds of, well, we all have we have these majorities because we want to get our tax cuts for the rich, if that doesn t happen, and if those bonds break down, then what happens? if trump is cut off from his party as in congress do you think that s make or break? so the setup there being that basically the last big legislative achievement and the domestic policy version of the go gorsuch appointment, which is like the thing that all of us normal conservative and republicans want to see, tax, tax, tax, if that doesn t happen i think it s different from health care in that if you don t do tax reform today, you can do it tomorrow. they had to move on from health care because the bill was so unpopular and so politically damage to even talk about that they had to move on from it to try to get to something that they thought was more plausible and a lot of them were more interested in in the first place. i think they ll continue to hold out hope they ll eventually pass something. and the other thing to keep them from breaking out into total warfare, it s a disaster in the midterm. if you have them angry with each other, normal republicans who are furious with the president and trump supporters who don t like congress not sticking them, it s a turnout disaster for republicans and they all lose. but isn t the dissent already in the open at this point? like, the fact that they re sort of in shambles, going into the midtermses, is becoming ever-manufacture evident, right? well, i don t i mean, the generic ballot polling is ugly for them, but not like total disaster range yet. i think they re complaining more openly. people are less afraid of the president. rich lowry made a really great point in the column this week, the president by going after jeff sessions and not doing anything to him demonstrated tremendous weakness. even if he was furious with someone, he would complain about them but not really do anything. that s emboldened other members of the cabinet to rebuke him and other members of congress, as well. he ll tweet about you, but that ll be it. i want to remind people, because we are talking about houston, houston is a majority/minority city. the head of the police department, the head of the fire department, it is selina country. you also had i.c.e. and border patrol keeping open their checkpoints. so it s almost like like, oh, you want to a build a wall? build the wall 60 miles from houston, actually, which is where that checkpoint is. and that, by the way, for many latinos who probably voted for trump, in this area, i think this is going to be another moment where, again, it s another test. and because it s a good point. there are he did not do a do against latino voters. and by the way, there are those in houston who supported him. what s going to happen to them. it s the chipping away if you will of the potential voters who will come back to reelect him. but this is all a situation where it s just reflective of the fact that when it comes to policy, this president doesn t know anything. right. this wall is ridiculous. the basic foretex at the heart of it all. i want to ask about his relationship to congress, more pointedly what that relationship is particularly in reference to what nicken s relationship with with congress. stay with us. we re going to talk about that after this break. if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn s, and your symptoms have left you with the same view, it may be time for a different perspective. if other treatments haven t worked well enough, ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn s. entyvio works by focusing right in the gi-tract to help control damaging inflammation and is clinically proven to begin helping many patients achieve both symptom relief as well as remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. while not reported with entyvio, pml, a rare, serious brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections, or have flu-like symptoms, or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio. if your uc or crohn s medication isn t working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. entyvio. relief and remission within reach. no need with thending thcars.com app when on the lot, scan a vin to pull up all the info you need to help get the price you want. start scanning today. choicehotels.com. badda book. that s it?. he means book direct at choicehotels.com for the lowest price on our rooms guaranteed. plus earn free nights and instant rewards at check-in. yeah. like i said. book now at choicehotels.com it s time for the biggest sale of the year with the new sleep number 360 smart bed. it senses your every move and automatically adjusts on both sides to keep you effortlessly comfortable. and snoring.. does your bed do that?

very presidential. and nobody wants me to talk about your other senator who is weak on borders, weak on crime. so i won t talk about him. president lashing out at john mccain and jeff flake in their home state last month, two of a long list of republicans the president is publicly flooding with. nick, nick faced a democratic congress which is key. because when we talk about the times that impeachment articles have been pursued, it s always been opposition. what do you make what implication does the president s relationship with congressional republicans have with how this investigation unfolds? it s huge. nicken had a good relationship with congress in comparison to trump. really? weyes. the only reason nixon when the tapes came out, that s when they realized this guy really is a crook. and that s when barry goldwater went to the white house and read him to tea leaves and said it s time to get out of dodge and that s what happened. i think that you wrote a piece that i thought was interesting where you business cli posited that republicans in congress have been checking him more than maybe people appreciate. and i think there s i didn t necessarily agree with the column but there is something to it. yeah. the most significant piece of legislation that s come out of this congress is the rugs sanctions bill taking away what would ordinarily be a prerogative of the president saying we don t trust you to conduct foreign affairs with russian, overwhelming bipartisan margins. and then you ve head all of these hearings. and the liberals look at the hearing saying that the republicans don t ask good questions. but they don t have to hold these hearings at all. it s a remarkable thing that we re a few months into the republican administration and republican congress and the senate committees the white house committees have been embarrassing. but the senate committees have been conducting a serious damaging investigation to the president and they don t have to do that. the other part of this, rebecca, talking about the personal feud building. the president, he s not inventing it. he really doesn t like these people. yeah. and they really don t like him. and at a certain level personality does matter and it s only going to get worse. and it fuels for him the tremendous victim concept. i find this moment terrifying. the russian investigation circling in, whatever relationships he had with his own party is disintegrating fast. and he gets scary and unpredictable when he s in a corner. and right now what the setup is everybody is after me. the media is after me, fake news. my own party gets in the way of doing this thing we who is we? any and my 30% of people who like me. that s a core base and they want some really scary things. democrats are obstructionists. i m being persecuted. this is setting up a narrative in which he s the ultimate victim of the witch hunt. he s been using that phrase for months. and i think that is setting us up for whatever his view of the next chapter is going to be when it s the whole world against trump. and i think that the departures of bannon and gorka from his inner circle going into the outside supports that. the establishment is emptied of his allies. he alone is there. right. so we were talking about this in terms of like if everything is going to explode and you get really worried and i get very concerned and then i happen to be interviewing delores about an hour or so ago, a documentary coming out about her life, supported and created by carlos santana. he s 87. has been around the block a long time. right? so when i asked her, where do we go from here? how scared are you? she s just like, you know, those 20,000 people that came out in boston to bprotest againt the white supremacists, they were mostly anglo. so he says, that s an amazing organizing opportunity for latinos. i m just like i never would have thought that. so that is where i think on all of us, there is that question of what is this moment. and by the way, we re all exhausted, right? how much more can we do. all of us are exhausted and there are many saying what is the opportunity and how do we engage deeper. i m still asking the guys at the connecticut at the harbor story, so, who did you vote for? he was like, trump and i m really regretting it now. without any prompting. there s two dynamics. some set of voters who are moving away. i think rebecca s model for the fall is a really useful one. trump against the world increasingly. they re going to pretend to work together for tax reform. i guess the question is i have this line about him where it always feels like the last part of the farce where the guy is going back and forth between if two rooms putting on the mustache and he s about to get felt out. and the last part of the farce keeps going and there s never the ending. we ll see the part of the fall
[cheers and applause] it is an easy touchdown for syracuse. abby: the weekend authority here for this groove. we ve been here for hours now. that last clip, my wife is not a football fan in the least, which is here accused. she e-mailed me. weepy crime scene. huge deal. congratulations to all the folks they are. abby: a big night. and if your wife is texting it s a big deal. we have david webb on the couch this morning. david: i know. nice little color coronation. abby: we didn t even plan it. i love learning about her learning about our guest toes, what they drink in the morning. what is your choice? you re a black coffee. david: i like black coffee with a little bit of brown sugar but i m going to make tea year. todd: we look like we are ready to get the baby announcement because they ve got their pink, the blue. david: covering all sides of this. abby: per usual friday salé usual friday salé is often the busiest day for the administration and yesterday was the same. a lot of news out of the white house. president trump announcing he will not certify the iran nuclear deal. the president stopping short of scrapping the deal altogether. kevin cortez live on what this means. good morning. early where you are. reporter: a little bit early. enjoy your coffee and tea. i ll stick to bergen. thanks for asking. it s never too early, right? very interesting day in the nations capital. the president as he pointed out decided not to certify that tehran is living up to its agreement by way of the every nuclear deal. what is really interesting analyses threatening to terminate altogether if iran does not get it together. a major policy shift at the white house in washington and the president unveiling and it s very easy to spot a more confrontational approach the rogue regime. in the event we are not able to reach a solution with congress and our allies, the agreement will be terminated. it is under continuous review and their participation can be canceled as president at any time. reporter: a lot of people asking abby: democrats and even the media are upset at media are absent what does this mean for former barack obama legacy? look at what the focus has been for president trump in office when he campaigned on immigration. i mean, you name it. health care. continuing to roll back the best way he can in his office the legacy of barack obama. a lot of people wondering what will his legacy be? andersen cooper was on last night and spoke directly to that. never have we seen negating, even obliterating the predecessor s accomplishments. you only have to look of a president obama is for. in all fairness none of this should be a surprise. he campaigned on much of it and if nothing else is keeping promises now. what may be surprising or at least widely debated that is how much of this is personal. todd: right, david? david: the american people, we get represented. we made a decision as a nation to elect president trump to roll back the bad policies of obama. obama, by the way, rollback policies he didn t believe and with bush without a joint agreement. look at what he did. but obama didn t go through the constitution in congress. he was rejected by the supreme court a dozen times plus some different things. one of the biggest things about trump, he s telling congress commit to your job. that s the constitution and that is not left or right. abby: how is that personal? andersen cooper said was different about this disease that s right a little lost. with personal? david: it s not. they need to drive the narrative. andersen is to drive the narrative because it s watching the failures of obama play out. obama s legacy is already fallen apart by the numbers. he s been rejected by the courts. look at all the issues of all his signature achievements. those are bad signatures. this is called democracy. you devote democracy. your devoted cayenne or lady and they change what they don t like in response of the american people about spore. they vote the individual in. of course the mainstream media will get fired because they don t like the guy. we said it countless times they don t like president trump and that s just seen in the soundbites. i was at the conference in washington d.c. we ll talk more about that throughout the course of the morning. you speak with the individuals they are in the heart of america want certain things. the president is delivering in their eyes on those issues. that is the way democracy works. yet to realize democrats don t like the idea that trump world through the blue wall. they are the same legislative seats. they re losing middle american counts. i hate that phrase. they count. abby: they should focus on what they stand for versus everything they re against. we are following closely this morning with a fox news alert. the taliban and arriving home in canada overnight after being held captive for five years. joshua boyle telling reporters that his captors killed a fourth child born in captivity, and infant daughter. he also says they sexually assaulted his wife. the trump administration working at the pakistani military now to carry out their release. and now to another fox news alert. when does threatening to the deadliest acre wildfire in california s history. the death toll rising to at least 34 people is to get a firsthand look at the daring rescues underway. clinic at her feet. sir, you ve got to go. go, go, go. this is a mandatory evacuation order. leave your home. i begin video rescuing a disabled woman, lighting up the neighborhood with smoke so thick you can barely see. unbelievable. the wildfire with 90,000 people out of their home. also overnight, president trump to end payments to health insurers under obamacare. money pouring into insurance companies profit under the guise of obama carries over. they ve made a fortune. dems must fortune. dan s muscat smarting deal. 18 states and the district of columbia during the trump administration friday s announced vampiric states as the court to force the administration to make the next payment to ensure scheduled for wednesday. taking aim and nfl players kneeling during the national anthem during the weekly address to the nation. take a listen. you want to see those players be proud of their country. when we identified, we pay tribute to the men and women who ve given everything. let us renew our commitment to love our country, protect her citizens and ensure that this act. todd: did you hear that? i don t know but it s sabotage. david: while serving in afghanistan, now it s running 31 marathons. that s amazing. right here on fox and friends. hungry eyes one look at you and i can t disguise i ve got hungry eyes applebee s 2 for $20. now that s eatin good in the neighborhood. applebee s 2 for $20. because she s listening this to audible.ughing and this woman is pretending her boss s terrible story is funny. experience the comedy, not your commute. dial star-star-audible on your smartphone to start listening today. years. first the cost-saving reductions in the subsidies to insurance companies. what did he actually do there? the president is abiding by the law and upholding this important document. the united takes constitution. these subsidies were not authorized and appropriated by congress. the money to pay for them is not in this thought. obama spends that money in defiance of congress which refuse to appropriate the money. congress went to court and won a case against the obama administration because it was illegal to make those payments and the president is saying i cannot make payments that congress doesn t authorize because i took an oath to uphold the united states constitution and the power of the purse belongs to congress, not to me. jonathan turley basically articulate that point. he worked on this case and made this really interesting point. what is president trump decides i m going to fight the border wall unilaterally. exactly. exactly the same thing. i m going to grab some people s money to prop up my failing health law. it is illegal. it is absolutely illegal. the irony is we have the democrats and insurance companies on one side of the issue. the president, the the constitution and the people elected representative on the other side. which side are you going to pick? david: what does this mean to the person on main street, the small business? the small business is affected by this. the small businesses and individuals are very effect it in a positive way by the executive order that the president made on thursday. also called sabotage by democrats. on thursday, the president announced he is rolling back obamacare regulations, that prevented people from buying affordable health plans. so now, people who don t get coverage on their job are stuck between this rock and a hard place. they have to pay huge obamacare premiums will go uninsured. you say and that s not fair. we will let you buy low cost health plans, plans that cost less than half of what obamacare bronze plan costs. transfer sum this up for the american people quickly. are they better off this morning than they were last saturday? absolutely. more money in their pockets and cheaper better plans available. transfer the left is added again looking for ways to oust president trump from office. this time trying to label him mentally unstable. david: you can imagine that. plus this lawmaker wanted the president assassinated. now she s comparing him with hitler. we will have that next. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke as far as i used to. due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but no matter where i ride, i go for my best. so if there s something better than warfarin, i ll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don t stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don t take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. .and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i m still going for my best. and for eliquis. ask your doctor about eliquis. it s a warm blanket. it s a bottle of clean water. it s a roof and a bed. it s knowing someone cares. it s feeling safe. it s a today that s better than yesterday. every dollar you can spare helps so much more than you can imagine. please donate now to help people affected by hurricane harvey. your help is urgently needed. it s not just a donation. for years, at&t has been promising fast internet to small businesses. but for many businesses, it s out of reach. why promise something you can t deliver? comcast business is different. we deliver super-fast internet with speeds of 150 megabits per second across our entire network, to more companies, in more locations, than at&t. we do business where you do business. david: here are some quick headlines. the astros beaned in the new york yankees two to one. they take their first game in the al cs series. astros pitcher striking out five batters in seven scoreless innings. 10 batters strikeout. major upsets on the college football. first i ve come a good one for my cousins come this year accused at a stunning, stunning number two clemson victory beating them 27-24 that breaks the 11 game winning streak. in california using a dominant defensive performance where they used dominant defensive performance to defeat washington state 37-3. their first win in 14 years against the top 10 teams. abby, tia. abby: unbelievable. thank you so much, david. now turning to the 25th of them as a potential option to get president trump out of office. look at these headlines. one reads when did we reach 30 fifth amendment territory. another impeachment will save us from trump s the 25th amendment might. the president can be removed a majority of the cabinet determines that he is unfit about which should really be talking about this. here s a debate, amy holmes, political analyst for rasmussen report was a clinton campaign adviser and of course a fox news contributor. good morning, ladies. thank you for being with us so early. i said we re not talking about the 25th. i ve heard mentions from democrats about the 25th amendment for the day the president got into office. it s one thing to hate him and his policies. it s another to say he s mentally or physically unfit to be president. it s another to be delusional. there is no way trump cabinet will be invoking the 25th amendment to remove him. i also think it is dangerous thinking. before the election we got a lot of lectures on the media and democrats that the results of november needed to be respected by donald trump because they thought he would lose they feared he would keep on fighting. it seems those democrats have never accepted the donald trump one-day election in november. he did win the popular vote but he did win the electoral college at 63 million americans voted for donald jay trump to be in the white house. abby: you look at how this city how this would even have been peered the 25th amendment you have to get the cabinet to stand up and say the president is unfit to serve. do democrats really see this happening? i think we have to take into account why these stories are being discussed right now. this is not being interpreted by democrats. this is in response to one of trump s early supporters, senator corker say the president is unstable or reports coming out that republicans are saying that the president is unstable and unraveling and when you ve got senator corker saying he s leading us into world war iii, these are questions that need to be asked. certainly we are not at any stage where the 25th amendment could actually be invoked. i am surprised that we also learned the president himself didn t even know at the 25th amendment was when his senior adviser, steve bannon, told him this is something you should be concerned with. if the president is charged with defending the constitution, you would want him to understand all of what the constitution entails. this is coming directly from republicans who are now saying, you know, actually hurt clinton said during the election. had no place did he talk about the 25th amendment. he mentioned the word dangerous and this is a dangerous confrontation by having it in this country. it s also dangerous for democrats to focus so much on this? certainly is dangerous for their party that they seem to be often in lala land with dreams of the 25th amendment. they are just absurd and not going to happen. in the sense of it being dangerous, we have a democracy, election, logical disagreement. most of the times they are between parties but we should be talking about trying to remove the president simply because you disagree with choices he s making as controversial as they may be. he was a lack did. the one on his campaign promises goodies now fulfilling campaign promises. democrats only have themselves to blame but they failed to defeat him. is also really challenging specific aspects of the constitution and that is concerning. would use the word concerning and the word dangerous. your thoughts in the missouri state senator recently and she s been in trouble for things posted on facebook in the past but on twitter she recently compared trying to hitler. she says i have a first amendment right to share my opinion and if the name is offensive to people they should look at the amendment again. original post as i hope is assassinated. how would anyone defend that? i think that post was indefensible. i think we have to be intellectually honest with the audience because this is not the first time that a president has come under attack like that. we saw for eight years president obama come under similar attacks and actually someone like ted nugent who was welcomed into the white house for photos and dinner with the president. this isn t something conservatives can use as a rallying cry because we ve had a long history of conservatives doing the same thing. who should know the language whether on the left or right. we re talking about elected official. ted nugent isn t the one elected into office. correct. let s focus on the elected official who was almost unanimously by her state senate quarter making those remarks and now she s comparing donald trump to hitler. this is the one who not only disrespected the president which is to write but also 6 million jewish were murdered by adolf hitler. hundreds of thousands of allied troops who died in defense of the west and the united states of america. for her to be comparing donald trump who merely for enacting policies to a historic building with real blood on his hands i think is totally out of bounds. does she have the right to say it? yes. as the first amendment require us to like it? no. we see a lot of actions by this president that put them in the leg don t go down that road. i m not focusing on the hitler aspect. insanely never president going after the free prize in the way dictators have in other countries. abby: ladies, we have to leave it right there. always good. any good to have you. thank you, ladies. president trump s decision on the reindeer mean?

[ switch clicks, door closes ] i told you i was just checking the wiring in here, kyle. he s never like this. i think something s going on at school. -[ sighs ] -he s not engaging. i am to write in my administration to work closely with congress and our allies to address the deals many serious flaws so that the iranian regime can never threaten the world with nuclear weapons. in the event we are not able to reach a solution working with congress and our allies, then the agreement will be terminated . the president making a huge announcement yesterday. general jack keane to retired four-star general, former vice chief of staff of the u.s. army, chairman of the institute for the study of war and a fox news military analyst. good to see you, sir. as always. i want to break this down into parts. one, let s focus on how this is going to impact our allies both in the region and outside of the region and to, not just nukes involved. there is also general ballistic missiles there right now are a clear and present threat to so many allies in the region. yes, certainly. this is very much about our allies because for the last eight years the interest of the united states in the middle east and also allies have been trampled on by the obama administration. just remember that this deal, the nuclear agreement was the seminal foreign policy and national security object to is that the obama administration for eight years. as a result of that, he gave us a sense, the civil war and syria that we refuse to aid the theory and opposition forces and at least we may not have been able to run a sod out of power, but we could have done so much more to stop the killing that has taken place. so our allies absolutely applaud this. when president trump went to riyadh a few months ago and made the seminal speech therapy for 55 liters of the middle east and northern africa, he told them, the first thing he said, iran is the strategic enemy in the region and i will stand with you against this number one threat to the region. so while we are focusing so much of the nuclear deal and what s wrong with it and how to create some threats to fix it, and the real major thing i get out of this is the strategic object is that we move from appeasement to iran for the last eight years, the confrontation and willingness to stand up with our allies against them. general, we hear from the media that essentially this would be the ending of world war iii, but does the hyperbole not recognize the hegemonic aspirations of iran in the region? you know, you re absolutely right. what the iranians have done, the number one objective the president cited yesterday was to neutralize the afghan behavior in the region. that was the first thing he said as part of the strategic review. they ve got 160,000 rockets and missiles in lebanon with hezbollah. they are there for one reason and one reason only. israel. iranians run a more inferior. they brought the russians in when the regime was in trouble. they solidified the western part of syria. but to solidify the eastern part. one criticism of the trump administration i don t think we have no coherent plan after we defeat isis. they have more political influence in iraq than we have despite all of their military successes there. they want to build a land bridge from iran through iraq, through syria, through lebanon and a naval port and the mediterranean. they trampled all over gannon. they depose the government that we are supporting. yes, this is a very dangerous regime to be sure. if we let them have nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles and we think north korea is a problem, that would make iran not just a regional merit, but a global mass. abby: general, you know how to command the stage. so does general john kelly. i know you saw this press conference. the highlights for me taking on the press. when he speaks it s like the media, they don t quite know how to respond. they taken very seriously. what was your response to him saying to the media come the media company to just get a few more services for your story. i think one of the most frustrating things this administration has to deal with, all administrations do with criticisms criticisms of the press. it s part of their everyday staple. the amount of false stories that are out there, even i know myself from reading news media every day that i know for a fact based on by contact with the administration that this is a bunch of silly. and we just know it s not true. i share general kelly s frustration, coming to work every day working so hard to get something right for the american people. these people really putting a shoulder into this thing to do what s right. obviously to include the president himself. he had his own personal style in its controversial that people always criticize it. but he is the president of the united states. his hearts in the right place. he s got great leaders trained to do the right thing. when people write false stories which are allies, i ve been in the far east command of far east command of the least in europe for weeks. since president trump a select team. i ll tell you what, they read this media and they have some concerns, but they also are absolutely reassured we have a president who s putting america back on the world stage, promoting global leadership, stability, security and prosperity once again. we have not had that for some time. abby: those false headlines can be quite dangerous. good to have your perspective. i do want to bring you something quickly. george clooney denied former er costar vanessa marquez who starred as nurse wendy goldman and accused clooney and having a role in her being asked from his show. the allegations after clinton publicly condemned harvey went in factions. responding to marquez statement saying i had no idea i was blacklisted if she was involved in any decision about her career that she was lied to. carolina panthers fan arrested after punching an older man. we want to warn you come you may find this video quite disturbing.

i have an uncanny knack i suppose her of being able accept my situation. i was able to accept it pretty quickly once i kind of came out of the haze from surgery and pain medications. i was able to bounce back pretty quickly and, you know, i just figured this is a situation now, so my mission is still the same. make a difference in the world. leave the world better than i found it. so how am i going to do that now?

the ball is in congress court. 60 days to formulate a strategy until the strategy that to the white house. again, if they can be successful in that affair, they could hold the u.s. out altogether. we ll be listening very carefully. abby: let s hope congress can do their job. good to see you. thank you. transfer great way of breaking that down for us, the nuts us, not symbols. a little analysis from corey lewandowski, former trump campaign manager and senior advisor for america first. good to see you as always on saturday morning. he heard the president and kevin. what do you think? good morning. great to be with you today. clearly the administration following through on the campaign promises they made paper president trump talked about on the campaign trail and as the president was the iranian deal has been a terrible deal for the american people and what he s done is he s empowered as ambassador to the united nations company keeley, to make sure that iran that the iranian deal is followed through on and she went to vienna, met with executives at the iaea and then she went and gave a speech in washington d.c. a few months back to lay the groundwork for the fact she didn t believe this was actually being followed through on. the president said yesterday will mixture congress has the power to go back and look at this, understand that, come up with the resolution. if they don t come if you act under his authority of the president of the united states to pull out of the deal. this is that the president promised on the campaign trail undoing the obama era policies. andersen cooper mentioned that last thing on the show. here s what he said. never had we seen the president so bent on obliterating his predecessors accomplishments. if you want to notice against you only have to look at what president obama was for. in all fairness, none of this should be a surprise. he campaigned on much of it and is keeping his promises now. what may be surprising or at least widely debated is how much of this is personal. abby: i am not sure that it s personal. it does make you wonder, though, the president is successful with the iran deal, obamacare, turning these things around, while the former president barack obama s legacy be? you will be one of the failure. we ve seen this administration has tackled a fist and isolate and done more in the first 10 months or so in the administration of ridding the world of this terrorist organization in the obama administration in eight years. the stock rocketed 43, 44 new highs. a trillion dollars in the stock market in the first 10 months of the administration. where the growth rate of 3% and 4% moving forward. under the old administration 1%. we need to look at the metrics. an unbiased assessment of what the president has been able to achieve compared to the previous eight years. he is far and away above anything the obama administration has been able to do. now we re looking at health care because congress refused to act because of their inability to get things done, took done, took it in his old hands and by health care across state line. go back and look at the campaign. these are things the president campaigned on an even andersen cooper, not a friend of the administration has to admit he s following through on his campaign promises which is that the american people elected him to do. the mac it s funny. president keep their promises. hillary clinton who didn t get to be president is on a book to a book tour that never ends it seems. she now calls trump and assault her. is that out of bounds? hillary is a very angry person obviously. she ran the worst campaigned in the history of presidential campaigns that she couldn t connect with female, african-americans and hispanics. she forgot what the state of wisconsin was finishing up every battleground state in the country and blames everyone else for her lost futures on the book tour to say it s everybody else but irrelevant. it wasn t her fault. where is she on the weinstein thing? abby: a lot of people haven t seen the clip. i want to get your thoughts. let s let people know what you re talking about here. this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated anywhere whether an entertainment politics, after all we have someone admitting to being a sexual assault in the oval office. there has to be recognition that we must stand against this kind of action that is so sexist and misogynistic. and this depends upon women coming forward and having the courage to come forward. in your book on the three women brought onto stage by trump attacking her husband new kind of dismiss them. without the right thing to do? yes, that at all been. that was the subject of a huge investigation as you might recall in the late 90s and never conclusions drawn and that was clearly in the past. david: so gloria, is this the 90s flashback? missing something about sexual assault her admitted in the white house. there was a sexual assault in the white house called bill clinton. he had to pay $750,000 fine for abuses he perpetrated while president of the united states. he lost his law license. he lied under oath that he was impeached. she should be talking about in the white house. when she talks about the entertainment industry, this is amazing. harvey weinstein and friends of hers for a long, long time. she s been stunningly silent. we saw that mario cuomo, mayor from new york and decided to give it all back. it s amazing the hypocrisy of hollywood in the liberal elites who they don t want to talk about harvey weinstein anymore because he s one of their own. the netiquette of the new york times did want to break this story. it s amazing how the liberal left has their own agenda and they refuse to acknowledge that they have been part of the problem in hollywood for the last 30 years. it hasn t been one person or two people. we are at 30 people now have accused harvey weinstein of serious felonies have no recourse and no cry from the liberal left. this is what the hypocrisy is all about. three women accusing winds can of raid. it s so dangerous to point out hypocrisy is a great place to be. thank you. abby: we do want to begin with the fox news alert. the american woman arriving home in canada overnight after being held captive for five years. joshua boyle told reporters his captors killed a fourth child born in captivity, and infant daughter. yes is that they sexually assaulted his wife caitlin coleman predator and administration working working with the pakistani military to carry out their release. when does threat and to spark more flames of what is now the deadliest week of wildfires in california s history. the vessel rising to 34 people as they get a firsthand look at the daring rescues underway. come on. litigator feat. sir, you ve got to go. go, go, go, go. this is a mandatory evacuation order. leave your homes. abby: flames lighting up the neighborhood with smoke so thick you could barely see anything at all. wildfires have changed entrée cheesed 90,000 people out of their home and it continues. greater details on the harvey went in scandal. now facing removal from the academy board. they will decide his fate later today. not backing down after being fired from his own film company. tmc reported in a hollywood is planning to challenge saying he never violated his contract which allowed him to keep his job even if sexual harassment suits came into play. as his next move in his rogue nuclear program, kim jong un building his own version of mar-a-lago while his people starve to death. building a knock of spanish resort in the seaside town, a vacation spot that appears to be kim s attempted to north korea take on his getaway. only his report just happens to be alongside his rocket test site. two differences bear. abby: just a few. the story has been story has been a few outrage story has been a few outrage. an illegal immigrant killing a data to kids in a horrific car crash. the illegal immigrant serving two years in jail. the mom seeking justice peter congressman joins us live with what he s doing to help next. try to do absolutely pitch in in a final paragraph of the infamous tarmac waiting between bill clinton and the rental lunch?

republicans love this stuff. democrats gave it a d., which i thought was most interesting is democrat said this is one of the fake issues to distract us from other things going on. republicans say it s important to get her patriotism back. of course that s the big news on friday. those who for the president on the iran deal. i think it was one of the most incompetently drawn bills have ever seen. $150 billion given. we ve got nothing. they ve got a past nuclear weapons very quickly. think of this one. $1.7 billion in cash. this is cash out of your pocket. you know how many are was that must be? they re missing a promotion where they have that s a lot. would be authorized to do it enjoy the people who deliver it? you may never see them again. this is the worst deal. we ve got nothing. trained to got to admit it s got some great laughs in there. the democrat basically what the democrats said, you can see republicans gave a come independent speed. the democrat said basically what up over obama would be against what the ax to grind. republicans said one of them said this very well. at that date didn t negotiate with terrorists. his right to force a vote. divided on this issue as well. train to classified, but we ll get into that another time. americans care about taxes. we are getting close to the end of the year. they are looking at april, so what about the tax code? he says will make it easier. the second plaques of our framework is to make the tax code more simple, fair and easy to understand. american families and businesses waste billions of hours and tens of billions of dollars on excruciating paperwork. you see that all over the place. you have no idea what you re doing anyway. in compliance every single year. massive numbers of paper. under our framework, the vast majority will be able to file their taxes on that same single sheet of paper that i m so proud of talking about. you can see republicans and independents of the chart they are. they give us an a+ for democrats gave it a c+. we heard especially earlier talking about simple and fair. the message democrat can get behind and also believe which is important. things, leave. great to see you. remember that infamous, i would say famous and infamous together meeting between loretta lynch. this could unite another scandal. dan bongino but the president to decertify the iran deal saying it was a scam from the start here and he joins us next. hungry eyes one look at you and i can t disguise i ve got hungry eyes applebee s 2 for $20. now that s eatin good in the neighborhood. and i can do it with what s already within me. because my body can still make its own insulin. and once-weekly trulicity activates my body to release it. trulicity is not insulin. it comes in a once-weekly, truly easy-to-use pen. it works 24/7, and you don t have to see or handle a needle. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take trulicity if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, if you have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you re allergic to trulicity. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or symptoms like itching, rash, or trouble breathing. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. i choose once-weekly trulicity to activate my within. if you need help lowering your a1c and blood sugar, activate your within. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity. and it s also a story mail aabout people and while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget. that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you the strikingly designed impolexus nx turbore. and hybrid. lease the 2017 nx turbo for $299 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. we will see what happens with iran. we are very unhappy with iran. they have not treated us with the kind of respect. they should ve thanked barack obama for making that deal. they were economically gone. 100 to $150 billion into their economy. he gave them 1.7 billion in cash and they should be thanking president obama. davida that. the present rate they are yesterday. dan bongino, former secret service agent, who said the podcast renegade republican and author protecting the president. as always, good to see you on a saturday morning. the area and it was a joke from the start so the question is why are democrats so vociferously defending them? listen, first off there is no iran deal. there is an obama deal, but someone should tell the iranians that there is an actual iran deal. now if the spirit of the deal as i ve heard recently, and the spirit of the so-called iran deal which was really the obama deal was to stop or slow down the development of nuclear technology for the iranian, then why are the iranians thirst eking dual use technology in developing ballistic missile delivery systems to potentially deliver a nuclear weapon. here is one where pro-tip about the obama deal. there s no iran deal. it s a joke. you probably shouldn t deliver pallets of cash to a regime whose motto is like death to america. probably not a good idea. interesting topics absolutely. as the president said yesterday, the basically restored their economy. cash is king. we talked to people all over the country. what are you hearing from the people out there? do they get this? they absolutely get it. as you ve probably seen yourself, twitter is a great big public forum where you get a lot of good voices on both sides. some can get a little hostile but to get public opinion at least. the only people defending that are doing it not to defend the deal. they are doing it to defend obama because they want to maintain this veneer of foreign-policy credibility on the obama site to make people believe the democrats have something to stand on and they don t. it s always a crèche for them in the past. train to the deal is kind of a hollywood reality. what about a real hollywood reality? jimmy kimmel good morning america talking about the nation. here it is. let s listen in. first of all to harvey white demand a false equivalence is said that the knowledge equivalent to what happened in las vegas. harvey weinstein is not a person, not a friend of mine, i m not in the movie business. i will add that story came out like moments before we went to tape on thursday we didn t have a show on friday. you address that on the following monday. what they are doing now is trying to drag up any kind of especially these gun nuts trying to take any comedy bit i get out of context and use it as some kind of proof saying that i m calling myself a moral conscience of america which i most certainly never did. abby: can you pick and choose? not the moral conscience of america appeared which you often hear liberals in hollywood jumping on things like gun control in health care,, how is this different? why should we not be thinking about something so worth it? i ve really been very deferential to the sky because of what is going through because of his child. i ve got to tell you i m losing patience with him. i don t think he cares and he probably should but he says things are ridiculous on their face you should be embarrassed at first he says they take my comedy bits out of context. if you saw that day, this is a family show. i literally can t even discuss what he s doing with women on the show because it backwards. there s no way to take that out of context. secondly, it is kind of fascinating jimmy wraps himself in morality when discussing guns and health care. we are saving the kids come the saving grandma from evil republicans. when he said obvious black-and-white moral issue cut and dry, he runs from it because harvey is a democrat. no other reasons avoiding the topic. he should stand on principle and pay this guy deserves that. it s got a coming next week. i ve got a whole bunch of bits prepared but i ll never do it. abby: a lot of hypocrites on this one who avoided so long and it s important to point that out. always good to see you. has your family and gross? they were great. things are having them up for the cooking with friends. they are still talking about it. abby: i love it. good to see you. other headlines we are following. police identifying killed in the line of duty. 29-year-old marcus mcneill shot several times. but really what is the video where he was shot and killed during a struggle rather than at a distance. 30-year-old derrick burgess will face first-degree murder charges and possibly the death penalty. records describe him as a career criminal. the three-year veteran of the forest leaves behind a wife and two gun kid. and the fbi finds 30 new pages of documents concerning the controversial tarmac meeting between bill clinton and the meadowlands. judicial watch same offense only documents as a watchdog group caught the agency hiding them in another lawsuit. in june 2016, a private plan phoenix preload member that while the fbi was investigating hillary clinton s use of a private e-mail server. they expect to see the documents by the end of november. stay tuned for that one. the houston astros beating the new york yankees to the one with the first game of the best-of-seven series. ken dialed getting the final bit to recite a. 10 strikeout performance. transfer what are you going to do?

fantastic like he always is. very relaxed, very much at home, but also recognizes how important a sort of reporters. so inspirational. just amazing. the values are something is focused on. he had a home run here. you connect with the people. i do think the president is doing with regard to conservative issues? is doing really well. any 1% of evangelicals voted for donald trump which is the highest ever. to an amazing job with conservative issues. everyone here brought together by the shame shares and timeless values. many times voters like this are pigeonholed into one or two issues that we know they are false doctrines conservative social economic foreign defense issues. we protect religious liberty. how is the president doing with regard to what you call the attacks on christian liberty? is doing an outstanding job. we cherish the dignity of the beverage human life. we believe he s doing wonderful things. he s speaking up for values, defending the unborn. democrats think they can run their lives, overrule values. i was the president doing with regard to small government issues? a fantastic job. producing president trump is doing? in spite of all the attacks of viciousness and all the rest of that, he is progressive for it. the progress he s making i want to encourage him to continue to bring us and we are saying merry christmas again. why something as merry christmas important? that is symbolic of the inspiration for the heart and soul of this nation. i love how donald trump is doing now. our administrations would be cherished, protected and defended. like you have never seen before. the encouragement people here at the values voter summit takeaways that we have a president who understands these are important issues he s working on. do is create a nice [inaudible] above all else, we know this in america. we don t worship government. we worship god. rework, todd. you talk about the values voter summit. a lot of times they worry about the values. they lose sight of faith in talking about what president trump is doubled down on many things he campaigned on. there is an important point here being ignored by a lot of the media. whether you are a christian conservative, evangelical, you like the fact that you ve got a president keeping his word, his nomination and appointment. then look at the const to shame. they care about the constitution. they believe in individual rights and recognize differences and they got to the biggest selling point. i don t there is anyone who believes the social conservatives. constitutional conservative gives them the right to believe in their values. abby: great point. todd: next guest says reno suffered an absolutely heartbreaking tragedy, boosting herb rather, sister-in-law and her four grandchildren and a fire that united their christmas tree while they slept. could ve been prevented with a sprinkler. she is here live with her life-saving advice for every family next. you don t want to miss it. you nervous?

in california and maryland requires an all-new construction. it s in the international residential code and the national fire protection association standards of code. it is required in new homes. some states don t adopt it. what we see here is the growth so fire burns faster. underwriters laboratory told us this. home fires burn faster. that s what we are seeing in the home. the sprinkler won t save it comes from outside. if it comes from the inside. the smoke alarm is early suppressant and then we need our firefighters for emergency was bonds. reporter: thank you so much for being here. crucial is to have. we want to get the word out. more on this with fox and friends when we come back. your brain changes as you get older. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered. in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. as it s time for our fall sale on the only bed not living up to the spirit of the deal. the only people defending that are doing it to defend obama. we cannot and will not make the certification. we flew from appeasement to iran. abby: details of the harvey weinstein scandalous jason whittle from the stooges academy awards. at the mason hypocrisy of hollywood and the liberal elite and refusing to acknowledge that they have been part of the problem. is going to be time to negotiate health care that s good for everybody. conservative values we don t worship government. we worship god. they went to our country. those giants fans. you are with us today. david webb, everybody. a lot of news to get to. big show still ahead. chub announcing he will not certify the iran nuclear deal. transfer the president stopping short of scrapping the deal altogether. washington d.c. on what this means. how are you? i m doing well, guys. giants fans out there beware of the broncos. i ll leave it at that. the iran nuclear deal, congress has 50 days to refine the approach is that if someone and then they have to sell it to the white house because again, ari some sort of their breakthrough, the president could still pull the u.s. out of the agreement is simply speaking, tick tock, congress, tick tock. in the event we are not able to reach a solution with congress and allies, and the agreement will be terminated. it is under continuous review and our participation can be canceled by me as president at any time. keyword there, continuous review. that means they are looking at this very carefully. here s a possible six byte corker, cotton and rubio comest and rubio, snapback of iran goes under the one-year break out. bill that the iaea powers and limit iran s centrifuge program. don t forget, they are also major news out of washington. the president declaring iran s islamic revolutionary guard a terrorist resolution. actions by treasury can come off part of their lifeblood. but to you. let s get right to the point on this deal. it s a bad deal and has been a bad deal. bernie sanders is tweeting why we are not complying with this deal. this is a guy who should pay more attention to his wife, jane, not a bad deal turns out. the american people get it. the terrorist regime really important in a president operates the people from the government. he s been there for 28 years as they ve been in power. they oppress their people. americans get this is a bad deal. proliferation and the money we gave all says it was a failure from the start. this deal together just yet. he is saying congress, do your job. we ve got to be stronger when it comes to iran, the biggest sponsors of terror in the world. if you take a step back regardless of republican or democrat, is not what everyone should want? democrats claim to support israel don t pay attention to iran supporting hamas and has 11 attack israel. 11,000 missiles of some sort of pointed at israel whether its rockets or otherwise. grade-point. nancy pelosi and other folks in the media have the reaction. president trump s refusal to recertify is a great mistake that threatens american security and credibility and a very critical time. iran remains in compliant with the nuclear agreement. if they did not come he would not be supporting certification. incredibly hawkish speech. the united dance, tribe administration wants hostility. the president has set the united dates against our closest allies when it comes to the iran deal. president rouhani s position now we cut them out, if the u.s. decides to abide by the terms of the deal, and that is just going to damage american credibility. todd: you clearly saw nancy pelosi speaking there, in number of members of the media speaking. i m a sort of national security issues, i prefer to get my information analysis from individuals like you, military individuals to bet on the frontlines to understand how diplomacy and military work together. and so, when you speak with these individuals come in many in favor of what the president did. looking at kicking the can down the road mentality, the appeasement mentality, the president said it yesterday when you avoid the problem, it gets worse. david: the problem doesn t go away. an important part is that he withdraw from the battlefield, whatever that is, the diplomatic battlefield, actual battlefield, that doesn t mean your enemy withdraws to the battlefield. you are so engaged in conflict. we are in a conflict with iran. they are hegemonic views that i ve been writing about for years and i ve been studying for years. it doesn t stop. they further their ideas and proliferate around the world. they are a global threat. can you imagine if they had a nuclear weapon? not just delivery. it s proliferation. abby: it is good for allies. we had general jack keane on the show earlier and it was a reminder of how we forget how important relations are to our allies around the world. israel is one of them. david: egypt s government. at a recent conversation with one of their senior officials. they want security and certainty. other companies, jordan is weak militarily. they give us good intelligence. at the mention of the top of the show a very busy news morning here because yesterday was a very busy news day. as you might imagine, the president did it at 7:00 on the east coast has been tweeting this morning. health insurance stocks which have gone through the roof during the obama carriers plunged yesterday after i handed the dems windfall. very proud of my executive order which greatly expanded access and far lower cost for health care. millions of people. let s break this down for ultimately what it is. those under the obama administration were illegal when you listen to individuals that jonathan hurley. there are subsidies for insurance companies. no two ways about it. david: they try to pop up as system because the key to obamacare was they need to have the young people by support the old. that is the funding mechanism for not failed, the executive cannot do this. congress, the house controls the money. the money is spent there. it s appropriate, factually correct because there s an appeal under way after the decision. the trumpet menace ration for a while house continued payment now we see action being taken on not. the rebound and look at the investor side of that. abby: what happened to the people? david: that their bottom line. the profit margin accounts for dollars in subsidies from the dollars sales, whatever else. here s what the president s doing that s different from obamacare that were shoved down everyone s throat. i heard him yesterday. he said i want to work with democrats. i invite them to the white house. i will go see you. democrats in a box because they are open and honest on the campaign trail, then no changes need to be made with health care. i do go back to constituents and say we need to come to the table and have a conversation about how to fix obamacare and now it s a matter of them working together. from one moment i do not leave, and a moment democrats will come. the president made promises on the campaign trail. he skipped another promise in this promise is real-world effect. not for being political and it s not political. he is a businessman. the blue-collar billionaire gets it to the american people. for completely different reasons. the unraveling of the iran deal, unraveling of hollywood with harvey wines being facing more accusations from the growing number practices or the big question is will he listers decide to keep weinstein in the academy. the folks who put on the oscars every year. seems like we are going into a baseball. we want to focus on this because we think this underlies the hypocrisy. having a meeting today to determine whether the individual has been accused of many things. they were accusing him. david: how many accusations and undercover tapes do you need to have a meeting to remove harvey weinstein. you need a meeting for this? todd: there s going to be a meeting. a few years ago the esteemed coaches penn state university with regard to the whole jerry sandusky scandal. he was run out of town and for all intents and purposes he was an older gentleman, yes. we had talk show host on the hypocrisy that exists between that situation and what s going on in hollywood right now. take a listen. a few years ago it penn state, joe paterno and jerry sandusky doing terrible things. it was suggested that joe paterno had been made aware of years earlier and he didn t come out in the clearly and in a loud voice about what he had heard. it was declared that he was just as guilty as kerry jerry sandusky. i would have different circumstances because of his party affiliation, joe paterno, well known friend of george h.w. bush, they lynched him, crucified him because he didn t speak out. all these hollywood people we learned didn t speak up in virtually identical circumstances and they are heroes. done about it for years. david: i reiterate, does hollywood really need a meeting to decide to toss harvey weinstein of hollywood? david: if i were whoopi goldberg i would wake up and take ice, no. i think the answer is pretty clear here. some of those within thick as. i would just be the question on a table. why does hollywood need a meeting. trade for we ve known about this for years. with david letterman. transfer the american people are frustrated with and talking about this all morning. the society of the media helping that are so quick to jump to conclusions when it comes to president trump base south of unanimous sources. here as he said they ve been sitting on it for years. number of women have come out and are able to mention their name in who they are and what they ve been through, yet it s taken so long for so many people to come out and report this. politics aside, no one should stand for any of it. david: criminal, predatory behavior. coming up, first of his fake news come in a jerry falwell junior says president trump should claim a new phrase for lawmakers for blocking his agenda, fake republicans. transfer plus, just 17 days away from the spooky scary holiday known as halloween. the most popular candy in your state as well. really interesting, guys. excited to see what we ll find out. that is all coming up when fox and friends continues. sarah is confident. destroy. but when it comes to mortgages, she s less confident. fortunately, there s rocket mortgage by quicken loans. apply simply. understand fully. mortgage confidently. my dbut now, i take used tometamucil every day.sh it traps and removes the waste that weighs me down, so i feel lighter. try metamucil, and begin to feel what lighter feels like. with him? gymnast alice jason chaffetz, fox news contributor, former commerce miniature at the house oversight government reform committee. great to see you. first, your take on the term paper publications. when you think about that? i m sure it s cute, probably very fact is, but it s a dangerous low. i wouldn t necessarily encourage a record of frustrated senate is not able to do what i think they would do is get republicans to vote republicans. when you start going around in tearing people apart like that, it s a very dangerous game. at one point ted cruz to take an absurd example did not endorse donald trump at the republican convention i is a fake republican? i don t think so. it s a very dangerous way to go. and seems to me there s two paths to go down at this point for the republican party. further cannibalization are working together on policy. how does the republican party do the latter? well, it s a great point because i like what margaret thatcher just said you got to go out and win the argument and then you win the vote. but we haven t been doing particularly in the senate were there you are the most deliberative party in the face of the planet don t get to the part of having a debate. you have good thoughtful people like rand paul who weren t going to vote on the procedure to move forward on health care bill. that was a procedural vote. all you want to do is debate the bill, offer amendments. again, a good thoughtful person but you ve got to be able to have the actual debate and win the argument. i m glad you brought up rand paul. a rand paul did is that the republican party needs. he was the only person you seem to be talking about groups coming together on health care come associations can do things along those lines. the president went along with that. we see more of that going forward on health care, but specifically on taxes or do you think it s of the same and we get to christmas in congress is stuck there because nothing got done. i think the opposite of progress is congress. the founders of our nation said it have to be a very difficult, arduous process and as a conservative i don t want legislation to just fly through time after time after time. nevertheless, the republicans have to live up to what they promised to do, repeal and replace obamacare, just tax cut plan is so we d better go out and build the coalitions and win the the american people. david: jason chaffetz, always a pleasure. enjoy your saturday. still had come at the mainstream fiercely attacking president trump for his tweets. are they missing the real story about how he s transforming our nation? hypocrisy from, you guessed it, the president to harvey weinstein. allegations against her husband are clearly in the past. all fired up about that and much more. he is on deck when fox and friends weekend continues. you know, geico can help you save money on your homeowners insurance too? great! geico can help insure our mountain chalet! how long have we been sawing this log? um, one hundred and fourteen years. man i thought my arm would be a lot more jacked by now. i m not even sure this is real wood. there s no butter in this churn. do my tris look okay? take a closer look at geico. great savings. and a whole lot more. why promise something you can t deliver? comcast business is different. we deliver super-fast internet with speeds of 250 megabits per second across our entire network, to more companies, in more locations, than at&t. we do business where you do business. hillary clinton falsely claiming donald trump is an admitted assault, admitted assaults are she compares them to harvey weinstein and claims against bill. clearly in the past. okay i m a little confused. this behavior cannot be tolerated anywhere, whether it s an entertainment politics, after all we have someone admitting they are a sexual assault or in the oval office. there has to be a recognition we must stand again that is sexist and misogynistic. this is having the courage to come forward. getting your book, attacking there has been any kind of dismiss them. are you sure about that? be my guest, that it s all been litigated. there was a huge investigation as you might recall the late 90s and there were conclusions drawn. that was clearly in the past. abby: that would integrate and for this? the lucky sheriff, david clark. good to see you this morning. transfer good morning, sheriff. usually i can keep a straight face that i can after listening to that. there s a reason he chose to hillary clinton is crooked hillary. she sat up there saying her husband was having actual allegations and she defended the actions and trashed the reputation of the spec ends. that dems need to be believed because they have to have the courage to come forward. when the victims came forward, called the floozies. a right wing conservatives see. when she said we have admitted sexual assault person in the white house committee was going back to her husband because that s when we had a suspect inside the white house. what bothers me about this as a yale educated attorney, what hillary clinton just said calling president trump are accusing him of admitted sexual assault, and that is real specific legal language that could be defamation or slander. as a yale educated attorney, she should know that. would he think about that? she knows that s a high threshold. you can make the smears and get away with it. time and time again not only during the campaign but this phony book tour she is on issues morally bankrupt. she will do whatever she has to do to protect herself, her image and reputation. one person in the united states of america, and maybe in the world that has no respect for the victims of sexual assault than women who have been sexually assaulted and the sort of behavior in the work place is mrs. bill clinton. the reputation of her husband to prop him up in the white house for future political endeavors was more import. women s groups thought to be coming out right now and attacking her and doing nafta are not only her past treatment of women who have claimed sexual assault or sexual harassment, but for what s going on right now. i m surprised that she was what she wanted to do, she would be defending harvey weinstein right now. right now she knows that the whole thing caved in on images left with nothing to do but kind of shuffled through on its grave. the woman is despicable. abby: that didn t last for more than two days. moniz took these come out. thoughts as well on the issue. the nfl stadium for the national lampoon. use it in his weekly address. listen to this. you want to see those players be part of the country. men and women have given everything for defense. let us renew our commitment to love our country, protect our citizens and ensure this will always be the land of the free and home of the brave. of course the nfl now has this pronouncement that you have to stand. it s not a rule put in place, david. he is right on this. he s going to kick sand in the face of his fans. mark piazza to fans of the game and we appreciate the fans and knowing us all phony. this is simple. i did some time ago but that s timing it takes about two minutes and 12 seconds to sing the national anthem. and how undisciplined they are. roger goodell fumbled the football on this thing. he chose to allow the inmates to run the asylum and knows that the nfl leaders the authority. they have the authority to establish reasonable work rules. standing during the nationally at them is a reasonable work role. i think this is important, too. the nfl now if they d fill in the width to your to discuss the situation. what is there to discuss? in grade school, probably second or third grade, maybe even kindergarten. what are the league owners going to do? when classes for the players association? it seems to be a day for meetings whether in hollywood or the nfl with these controversies. thanks for joining us this morning. my pleasure. david: coming up, i ll spoken on many, many issues but admittedly it took jimmy kimmel days to address the harvey weinstein scandal. why is kimmel now playing defense? abby: 17 days away from holland. with the most popular candy in the country? candy corn? really? you know what the answer is. of course there ll surprise. transferred david and i aren t happy. david: red hots. keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424. abby: now i doubt i can get into. welcome back. if you ve been watching the late-night show, we are left too early. just watch them and never sleep. jimmy kimmel is now under fire for not bringing up that all of the past week what is going on with harvey went seemed. he talks about he brought it up monday. people are saying where is the outrage. so upset about things like gun control and what s going on with health care. someone in hollywood you know many of these factors is. why are you not standing up stronger? theory was defending a position. first of all, the false equivalence is that that somehow is equivalent to what happened in las vegas. i am not in the movie business. and i will add that story came out like moments before we went to tape on thursday we didn t have a show on friday. you address it on the following monday. of course that was convenient. what they are doing now is they are trying to drag up any kind of especially these gun nuts trying to take in a comedy bit i get out of context and use it as some kind of proof they are saying that i m calling myself a moral conscience of america which i most certainly never did. transferred to be clear, the story broke almost two weeks ago. the critique was where were you? the show on friday but the show is taped so we were unable to talk about it. now they ve been more open to talking about it this week. to his point, not the moral conscience of america. morality and what is the conscience. jimmy kimmel has been clear. you have to go to the tape and watch them being the moral conscience against the right and every other issue out there. he says he is not really hollywood. when two of your best friends are hollywood people like damon and aflac, i don t know how you separate the two. i grew up around a lot of these fact there is. i m not in hollywood that i m not in front of a camera in hollywood. they are. train for what is so fascinating about this is discussion as we ve seen over the course of alaska blears the late-night talk shows have become more politicized and less funny. one guy who does focus on the funniest jimmy fallon. when you know it from us are focusing on the funny and not politics gets with the hollywood elites. take a listen to this. you would be weird for me to start doing it now. i don t even really care that much about politics. i ve got to be honest. i love pop culture more than i love politics. i m just not that great. the other guys are doing it very well. cold air is great, he s always into political comedy. i think when it s organic i ll dip into it as well. i ve always made jokes about the president. president obama made thousands of jokes. i remember i had them on the show sorry i put you down. trump is like everyday is a new thing he gives a lot of material and a lot of stuff to make jokes about. it s just too serious. david: about the late-night folks and out winner funny, not political. just be funny for it. i still have more faith in jimmy fallon. if you just as comedy that s one thing that he doesn t want to be in politics and now is commenting on politics. abby: he also says it like it is are there things i m good at and things are not good at. if you want real talent, go talent, go watch his audition tape for us to know years ago. that s the thing. stay in your lane. stay in the places where what you re good at. give the audience what they want. david: have an lip-synch battle against the rock. still the greatest video out there. abby: exactly. other headlines this morning. investigator about the unmasking of trans campaign advisers. the former u.n. ambassador to the u.n. meeting with the intelligence committee for hours. one of the obama administration officials who administration officials who sources say made request to identify names in pop and are sad. carolina panthers band is arrested after punching an older man in the stands. warning, you may find this video disturbing. kyl amir d. now charged with assault after that altercation during thursday s game. police tracking them down after fan posted this video in instagram. witnesses say they were upset and standing during the game. the suspect attorney said the man who was harassing him and his girlfriend. is it really worth it?

what about skittles and jolly ranchers? what s going on? you can clean carmelite of your teeth for the next one minute or so while i talk about weather. the fire danger of meeting today. flag warning for the wave for northern and southern california as well as the colorado river valley. arizona. didn t increase the threat conditions out as a dozen not sure when before the dryer from the land off towards the water and the temperatures the next two days are also going to climb which is not good news. all of this fire danger will stick with us. the next chance of rain moving in us by thursday. they start to get towards rainy season. on thursday we have simmering that will certainly help. one last thing for severe weather today that we are worried about in this part of the country, maybe even a few tornadoes. the i want to hear david read it now. go ahead. take it away. is this the e-zine i get? coming up, the mainstream media in the president s tweets and the president has been added all morning. let s see it. his job responsibilities do not include managing the presidents twitter feed. the president s word adding insult to injury. trying to instill in them, but our next guest says they are missing the real story. stross williard explained. todd: plus, abby is really getting ready to get in the halloween spirit. abby: what on earth?

kevin: listen this is a very interesting washington style story right? in treeing, fighting in the white house administration with capitol hill, this is exactly the kind of story we love to cover here in the nations capitol. here is what s going on okay? the president said look i m all for congress trying to come up with better deliverables for the agreement but he made it clear he will terminate the nuclear deal if it fails to live up to the spirit and the letter of the accord. president trump: the iranian regime continues to feel conflict, terror and turmoil plow out the middle east and beyond. importantly, iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal. if that continues he s walking away. now there s congressional lawmakers working on a fix talking about snapback of u.s. sanctions, keep those restrictions indefinitely, drop the so-called sunset provisions, bolster the iaea s varification keep in mind it s very difficult to actually get into some of the spaces in iran and limit obviously their centrifuge program. house minority leader nancy pelosi calling it a great mistake this idea of the threat to lead the iran nuclear agreement by the president but clearly that is not a position held by the administration nor by many on capitol hill. this will continue to unfold for the next 5 # days guys? live for us, washington. abby: let s bring in geraldo rivera. good to have you. geraldo: glad to be here. abby: you ve been doing an incredible job on the road but we want your take on the iran nuclear deal and my question to you why are democrats so up in arms about this? the president is not saying we re doing away with this deal yet, he says i want congress to do their job and pushback on iran. why is that so bad geraldo? geraldo: well i think what is in that story, abbey, is the fact that people ask me particularly my wife and her friends how can i still be friends with the president of the united states when he has all these policies that are so wildly inappropriate, certainly from the progressive half of the political spectrum. my answer is there are two donald trumps. i really, i ve known him forever and i think that i have the ability to assess where his head is at. the donald trump whose the tweeter, impassioned and then when you examine in the sober light of what has actually happened, what he did, you ll see he is well within the norms of a moderate republican president and the policies that he has are traditional policies. sometimes he couches them in flamboyant packaging so to speak and i think the iran nuclear deal is a classic example of that. on the one hand, he is very ferocious. they re not honoring the spirit of the deal. if they don t do this, if they don t do that i want congress to do this, i want congress to do that but in the cold sober light of day you ll look at it and say guess what? the iran nuclear deal is still in place. abby: right. geraldo: i think they will modify it around the edges and they will maybe forge a better deal going forward but my point is this is not a radical president. this is a traditional moderate president with unorthodox packaging. david: but the response isn t moderate. you ve got democrats saying this will lead to world war iii. you ve got not a deal ratified by the senate as in a treaty under the obama administration and the president within the constitution to your point about this, i call him the constitutional president. he says i m the executive. you re the legislative. you should be doing this so you talk about your more progressive relatives who are looking at him personally but why not look at him for what he does because he s going within the boundaries of the constitution. geraldo: i definitely think that this president has the worst relationship not only with the press but with those on the other side of the aisle than i have seen since richard nixon. david: but it s not all this fault geraldo. the press came after him. gore ailed o. believe me i m not suggesting it is his fault. i m suggesting when you live in a divided household like mine and i suspect that we are common place all across-the-board. he does not get the benefit of the doubt for anything. anything he does is construed in the most wicked, negative way possible and you know having just experienced abbey you mentioned my puerto rico trip, having seen how he was treated in puerto rico and then seeing press about how he was treated in puerto rico, it was almost an absolute 100% disconnect. i saw crowds that loved him. i saw crowds that were very excited about the fact that he was there. president obama only visited puerto rico once in eight years and that was for a four hour million dollar fundraiser. abby: so we re not getting the real story to your point. you were on the ground. david: there s a real story on the ground. gore ailed o. the real story sadly is theres enormous work to be done. this is the worst natural disaster in modern history. never have so many americans been so negatively impacted. we are all riotously concerned about what s happening in the wildfires in california but you re talking about people in the order of magnitude of tens of thousands. in puerto rico it is millions of people that are involved, their homes are wrecked they have no electricity, they have no water it is absolutely awful. the next question is how is fema and the federal government doing in response to this crisis? far better than they are given credit for, as was the presidents performance in puerto rico far better than he was given credit. todd: another huge story we are talking a lot about harvey weinstein situation, as a reformed lawyer talking to another reformed lawyer here, hillary clinton falsely claims donald trump is an admitted sex assault eras she compares him to harvey weinstein but claims allegations against bill are clearly in the past. before we get to this sound bite , let s get to that and then i ll follow-up with a question because ising is bothering me big time about this. this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated anywhere whether it s in entertainment, poll sick s, after all we have someone admitting to being a sexual assault erin the oval office, there has to be a recognition that we must stand against this kind of, you know, action that is so sexist. this depends upon women coming forward having the courage to come forward and yet in your book the three women brought on to stage by trump attacking your husband, you kind of dismissed them. was that the right thing to do are you sure about that? well yes because that was all litigated. that was the subject of a huge investigation as you might recall in the late 90s and there were conclusions drawn and that was clearly in the past. todd: before we play lawyer geraldo how do you respond to that? geraldo: well i respond several days todd. i think that i m the father of daughters, i respond that way. i am also someone whose a friend to president clinton at that time. it seemed to me that he paid a terrible profound price for his extra curricular activities. how he abused monica, how he did whatever he did to the other women i don t know but this was the president for the second time in the history of the republic who was impeached. he bears that big red eye forever. president clinton, however charm ing. he may have been and has since retained that the charisma he s someone whose only the second time after andrew johnson, president whose impeached by the congress of the united states. he was ultimately acquitted but he paid a very severe price, and i think that when you recall that president clinton was more popular at the end of his term than he was in the beginning in some ways, i think that the american people tended to forgive him. now i thought when president trump went after the access hollywood tape when president trump went after bill clinton and brought paula jones and so forth to that debate that he had , that he did something that was really very underhanded very wicked, that he made hillary pay for the sins of bill clinton. the issue of whether or not she was an aider and abetter i leave to the viewer. david: he had an admitted sexual accuser. todd: that is the textbook definition of slander when you accuse somebody of having committed a crime. as a yale educated lawyer she should know that. geraldo: she s also a wife and someone who lost an election because of her husband and because of anthony weiner, she lost and i think that is the burden women candidates bear going forward. david: that s so yesterday. those three words she used, geraldo let s address that to your point. admitted sexual accuser. not just like she said about bill that was so yesterday. she lost, now these three words being tossed at president trump. geraldo: david whether it is in politics as in the case of the clintons, whether it s in the news media as in the case of some of our own colleagues and some of the others who have fallen by the wayside, or whether it is in hollywood, sex harassment stinks, and having lived through many decades and many different social times i can tell you that times have changed. i grew up in the jane mansfield marilyn monroe, the playboy centerfold were our cats meow back in those days. times changed. that was the free love in the 70 s but harvey weinstein represents an enduring stereotype. this big fad hairy sweaty be jeweled emperor of movies has 18-year-olds, 20 year olds coming into his office desperate for a break in show business and instead what they get is okay you do me something and i ll do you something. the casting character is horrifying, harvey weinstein is like one of the most malignant examples of the casting couch but i think that this inequality between subordinates and superiors is something that men now know and abbey you know this men now know that they do any of the stuff at their pair ill. that this is you screw up, your career is ruined. we have plenty of examples. todd: as it should be. abby: it s alarming it takes women so long now, still in today s day and age to come out and even in hollywood. david: disconnected and deflected to call on the president admitted sexual accuser. still waiting on that one. geraldo: one quick one i hate that we applaud when it s our enemy who falls. abby: geraldo you re so right let s take politics out of it. geraldo great to have you on. great work in the past few weeks todd: remember the infamous tarmac meeting between bill clinton and loretta lynch? the fbi just found something that could ignite another scandal. david: one republican lawmaker has another idea of geraldo s haters of president trump in congress. we have some members that are done that have been left in the chamber too long and it s time that we eject them. what do you think? david: his colleague and house freedom caucus remember jim jordon, he s here to react live, next. so tell us your big idea for getting the whole country booking on choice hotels.com. four words, badda book. badda boom. let it sink in. shouldn t we say we have the lowest price? nope, badda book. badda boom. have you ever stayed with choice hotels? like at a comfort inn? yep. free waffles, can t go wrong. i like it. promote that guy. get the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed. when you book direct at choicehotels.com. book now. have been left in the chamber too long and it s time that we eject them. what do you think? david: house freedom caucus chairman calling on voters to replace lawmakers who do not support the president s agenda. joining us now with reaction, congressman jim jordan, a member of the house freedom caucus. congressman good to see you. you too david good to be with you. david: let s get right into it what your fellow congress men and freedom caucus members said, what do you say to that? stating the facts, look voter s have a way of remembering when their elected official doesn t do what he said or she doesn t do what she said that i say this all the time. our jobs pet basic. what did you tell the voters you d do when you ran for the job, what did they elect you to do, let s keep our promise and do that so maybe there will be some of these town halls have already been this for some members a little come to jesus moment where the voters say wait a minute. you said you were going to do x, how come you haven t done that, so i think it s exactly right. todd: one of the topics of discussion there, in your congress there, sir, is obamacare obviously everybody is talking about that and this week president trump ended the so-called illegal insurance company subsidies but my question for you, sir, if these were deemed illegal, why are 18 states and washington d.c. suing with attorney generals that quite frankly should know the letter of the law? well because they want the money. i mean, you know the left always wants more federal government and more federal government money, but they are illegal. there s been a court whose decided that. we know they weren t appropriat ed dollars so the president did the right thing and for the left, yesterday nancy pelosi and schumer talked about this sabotages the law. for goodness sake this law was falling apart and if you want to talk about sabotage never forget jonathan gruber, the architect of obamacare according to the new york times who told us that they lied to the american people democrats when they passed this thing seven years ago. that s the real sabotage. remember when they told us all these things guys? they said if you like your doctor keep your doctor, like your plan keep your plan. the president of the united states, president obama told us, premiums will decline on average $2500. how is that working out for the american people? they went just the opposite direction so nine different lies they told us and yet somehow doing something, stopping an unconstitutional action somehow that s sabotaging the law? it s ridiculous. what we need to do is what we told the voters what we were going to do, what mark was alluding to in his comments. todd: quickly sir you work with these individuals there in congress. don t they run the risk of having their state attorney generals obviously on the democratic side completely having the law in against them if they create precedent on a legal standard that they ve already lost on. jonathan turley was on talking about that just yesterday. why are they like this with regard to this? you have to ask them. it s wrong. i think it s very clear the constitution is clear, the legislative branch appropriates dollars, the executive branch can t spend it. it s that fundamental and that s why it s important the president did what he did yesterday and said look i won t continue to engage on an unconstitutional activity with a bunch of false statements given to the american people. i won t continue that but what has to happen is members of congress have to do what they said. six republican senators voted against the clean repeal legislation, voted against back in july the exact same legislation 20 months ago they supported. david: just about 30 seconds left congressman. what s the next step for the congress? are they going to deliver something to go along with the president, the leader of the party real quick. we better deliver on tax reform, cut taxes for the american people simplify the tax code and put together a tax code that s condusive to economic growth that s what we focus on. todd: jim jordan thank you so very much. this marine lost his legs, while serving in afghanistan and now running 31 marathons in 31 days find out why he says it s so important when fox & friends returns. listen up, heart disease. you too, unnecessary er visits. and hey, unmanaged depression, don t get too comfortable. we re talking to you, cost inefficiencies, and data without insights. and fragmented care, stop getting in the way of patient recovery and pay attention. every single one of you is on our list. at optum, we re partnering across the health system to tackle its biggest challenges. abby: thank you, todd. well democrats in the media upset that president trump is following through on his promises to dismantle obama s legacy. take a listen. never though have we seen a president so bent on reversing negating his predecessor s signature accomplishments. if you want to know what president trump is against you only look at what president obama was for and in all fairness none of this should be a surprise. he campaigned on much of it and if nothing else he s keeping his promises now. what may be surprising or at least being widely debated is how much of this is personal. abby: things like the iran deal, obamacare, immigration, regulations on coal, and of course the climate accord. here is caylee mcananey, and director of strategic for hillary clinton adrian elrod. good morning ladies . good morning, abbey. abby: so how often, caylee you have politicians running for office promising a million things and when they get elected , they rarely follow through on those promises and here we have a president you may not agree with him on policy but he s saying look i promised this to the people that voted for me and i ll do everything i can to put those in place. is that what we re seeing happen here? exactly. this is a president that s making good on his promises to the american people and it s refreshing, unlike other politicians like you said who reverse course when they enter the white house. president trump is making decisions that are hard, but necessary on the iran deal, on the paris climate accord, on daca. these were decisions he promised to the american people and now there are things put into action , the american economy is coming back. it is an exciting time to have a president whose actually go to do what he says. we re not used to that in washington but that s what we re seeing. abby: another thing we re not used to seeing adrian is both sides coming together. we may not see that happen on things like healthcare or this iran deal but you heard from president trump yesterday. he s at least extending out the hand inviting democrats and i want you to come to the table i want to have these conversations because i want to get things done. we ll see if that actually happens. we are ten months into president trump s term and first term and he s basically gotten nothing done and look to your point, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi both made it very clear they re willing to come to the table with the president with republicans and do something to lower the high cost of premiums for healthcare. there are fixes that need to be made to obamacare but they are absolutely not going to repeal. you re seeing president can t really going in sabotaging the current healthcare for example, by open enrollment taking place november 1 through december 15 and this used to be a three-month period for open enrollment and now its been down to six weeks and also slashed the marketing budget for obamacare by 90% so he s certainly doing what he can. abby: well you just adrian i ll jump in because you said he hasn t done anything basically so far. you ve already been mentioning thins you may not agree with but things he s put in place. why are democrats so upset then if as you say he has done nothing? well we re upset because we actually would like to work on some very key issues that do need to be fixed again going back to obamacare but we re certainly not going to repeal it it took a long time as both of you know to get obamacare passed it was a bipartisan effort. it s going to be that s why you re seeing efforts to repeal obamacare fail because people want their healthcare, they like their healthcare, they just want the costs lowered so democrats are willing to come to the table on those issues and work with the president but we re not willing to put people s lives at risk or their health at risk in order to give him something in the win column. abby: caylee you want to jump in here i see. yeah, because obamacare was not a bipartisan effort that was a far left effort that reeked havoc upon the american people and the president has done a ton and signed 52 pieces of legislation, rescinded 860 executive orders, the keystone pipeline is being built, we re out out of tpp, the iran deal is being rectified. we can go on and on. this is a president of action that s dismantling the failed legacy of president obama and i m not sure why the mainstream media is trying to say this is a personal, this is personal to president trump. that s why he s doing everything the opposite of president obama. no, he s a republican. obama is a democrat. they have opposite agendas and president trump is getting things done on be half of the american people and everyone should be very excited about that and absolutely false to say he s done nothing. he can t get tax reform done. well we don t know that yet. if there s work to be done. he s 10 months into the administration. i would say talking to the american people a lot are saying let s put politics aside and please come together both parties and figure out what we can do to make everyone s lives better whether it comes to foreign policy or healthcare or immigration so we can end it there we ll see where all this goes adrian caylee good to see you. thank you, abbey. thank you abbey. abby: the timeline changing again in the las vegas massacre the reason behind the switch and the sheriff s emotional moment at the podium yesterday we ll bring that to you just ahead. and the nfl now saying they will not force players to stand for the national anthem. the man who of course killed osama bin laden we know him well on the show rob o neill has prop s on that i bet he does. he s joining us live right after this. today, smart planning is helping the new new york rise higher than ever. as the world leader in unmanned aerial systems, we re attracting the world s best talent to central new york. and turning the airport into a first-class transportation hub. all while growing urban areas into vibrant places to live and work. across new york state, we re building the new new york. to grow your business with us in new york state, visit esd.ny.gov. yesterday the president stands firm and speaks about the irgc. they trained the force and they make weapons that kill not only american soldiers that kill people all around the world. the asymmetric weapons and labeling them a foreign terrorists organization how important? this has been done a long time ago. the iranian revolutionary guard has been up to this stuff forever. i mean long before 9/11. and they support everybody that s death to america death to israel so they will support hezbolla, hamas, the taliban and the revolutionary guards everywhere. we fought against them in iran. they were the dudes that taught al qaeda how to make the improvised explosive device that will rip through, explosives go faster than bullets and go right to the vehicles tearing legs off killing marine soldiers, airmen, sailors. they ve been at it all the time and they do everything. they have cyber warfare, they attacked parliament this summer. they re everywhere, nasty people and again, they want terror and they want the end of the world so not a good group of people. abby: rob your perspective is so interesting because you ve actually been on the ground, been there fighting against these terrorists. yes. abby: now you re here at home seeing politics play out. what is so wrong with what the president is now saying, he s not doing away with the deal at least yet, he s saying congress we have to be tougher when it comes to iran. why are democrats so upset? democrats seem to get upset with president trump because he tells the truth which is odd. i mean, i run into these revolutionary guys in afghanistan fighting them. of course there s something with dealing with the iranians leave it or not they lie to you. todd: what? i m just a student here at the gate in afghanistan and these are bad guys trying to do bad stuff. they re out there and it s very real when you re over there. here you can make it a political thing and play party politics so i can stay in office all this stuff but they are really real bad guys they don t care what we look like if we re american or israeli they want to kill us. todd: let s switch gears to the anthem protest nfl will not, will not make players stand and maybe not so coincidentally thursday night football ratings are down as these anthem protests continue. what s your take on this? i think that they ve lost the message. i think it turned as opposed to originally even though i still don t buy it against police brutality now its turned into an anti-trump is what they re doing i think as an insult to police and every veteran i know is insulted and this is something i haven t heard brought up yet. how about the police stop going and let the nfl shell out a few million dollars for private arm security because the cops are there protecting them and i just don t understand it any more. you can t, they try to say we re not disrespecting the troops. we re just doing a peaceful protest. just because you say you re not disrespecting the troops doesn t mean you re not disrespecting the troops. david: it doesn t matter what they say when it comes to how the american public reacts. i get it they want to protest. my take on that by the way is turnaround and protest the comes on the sidelines. you want to protest against police brutality turnaround take a knee to the police officer in uniform but the american people see disrespect for what it is and i think that s even broader than the american military and families. i think it s just an american thing. you raise your right hand or put your hand over your heart. the anthem plays people get choked up about it. definitely they do and if they want to take a knee after or before the anthem i d join them but i think they ve lost what the protest is and if you need to explain what your protest is you might be doing it wrong because they need to keep saying well we re not doing this but you know what you re doing taking it and it s disrespectful as far as i can tell. i m sure there s vets out there that disagree with it. abby: you re right now we re not even talking about the issues they are trying to protest. we re talking about the disrespect with the flag. i think it started off with colin kaepernick being lazy. he made up the story well i talked to a vet and he said it s cool for me to kneel. no it s not. he s against fascism wearing a fidel castro shirt. maybe he should open a book. david: but yet he quotes winston churchill. abby: rob good to have you. thanks. abby: if you can t stand for the flag and the anthem what can we stand for in this country. good to have you with us. i do have other headlines this morning. las vegas police once again revising the timeline of the deadly shooting saying there was no six minute gap, now say stephen paddock shot a hotel security guard outside the suite at the very same time or within seconds on firing on concertgoer s. the clark county sheriff tearing up as he talked about the heroic actions of first responders yesterday take a listen. brady sustained four separate gun shot wounds and the reason why i bring this one up, he asked me if he to go back to work today. abby: just so tough. 58 people were killed 546 others were injured in that horrific attack. also just this morning george clooney denies black listing his former er co-star for reporting onset harassment. vanessa marquez who starred wendy goldman accused him of having a role in her being axed from the hit show and he publicly condemned harvey weinstein s actions and he responded us in a statement saying i had no idea vanessa was blacklisted if she was told i was involved in any decision about her career then she was lied to. and the new york times have been accused of bashing the president on social media so now the paper is putting a new policy in place to make sure its journalists don t look bias. the new guidelines read in social media posts our journalists must not express partisan opinions, promote political views endorse candidates make offensive comments or do anything else that undercuts the times journalistic reputation. we ll see where that goes. and a remarkable story determination in 2010, u.s. marine rob jones was serving in afghanistan when he stepped on a landmine losing both of his legs but he didn t let that slow him down. he s making it his mission to help other veterans listen to this by running 31 marathons in 31 days, to raise money for wounded veteran charities and he joined us earlier on the show ahead of his race in new york city this morning and here is what he told us. i just figured this situation now so i m going to my mission is still the same, make a difference in the world, leave the world better than i found it so how will i do that now? abby: he s so inspirational. you can help by going to his website robjonesjourney.com. todd: i got chills during that entire interview. what an amazing guy. david: but it s a marine. abby: i asked him that question. i said how did you find that ability to wake up after you didn t have legs and he said it s always been apart of me and that s instilled in so many military you get up and you keep fighting. david: joining the military volunteering to take this job, a blank check to this nation it s something you do. i don t know how many guys no matter what time you serve remember when they raised their hand and what it was like. todd: go outside to rick richmuth now for a look at our weather. rick, how is the situation out there in california? rick: a rough weekend ahead yesterday was a little bit of a better day. they got a lot of things under control evacuations are in sonoma county as winds have shifted. take a look at a map showing you what s going on with red flag warnings going in effect all across much of california throughout the day. the wind will continue to be the case. i m not sure if we will bring the maps up or not but it s an offshore wind that brings the air from the land instead of from the ocean that s what happens in california and we have the offshore winds that continues to bring dry conditions, temps warmup a lot for the day today and tomorrow, in fact the next three days guys we do have a chance of moisture coming in by the time we get towards thursday afternoon which we desperately need. abby: rick the good news behind you? christmas lights are going up on the trees. rick: how is that good news? abby: because i love the holiday season. david: i love christmas but it s not halloween yet. abby: we had a debate on this show a year ago and clayton and tucker or someone at the time talking aunt christmas decorations and people that keep them up all year around. todd: oh, no no no. rick thank you. president trump backing the first sitting president ever to address the values voter summit. president trump: in america, we don t worship government, we worship god. [applause] todd: so what did the crowd think speaking of christmas they have a lot to say. i went behind the scenes with kellyanne conway and many more that s coming up next. david: devastating wildfires burning across california. one pastor was forced from his home in flames and he s using his faith to get him through the ordeal. he will join us live. stuffy nose? can t sleep? take that. a breathe right nasal strip instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than allergy medicine alone. shut your mouth and say goodnight, mouthbreathers. breathe right. this is a story about mail and packages. and it s also a story about people. people who rely on us every day to deliver their dreams they re handing us more than mail they re handing us their business and while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget. that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you whoamike and jen doyle?than i thought. yeah. time for medicare, huh. i have no idea how we re going to get through this. follow me. choosing a plan can be super-complicated. but it doesn t have to be. unitedhealthcare can guide you through the confusion, with helpful people, tools and plans. including the only plans with the aarp name. well that wasn t so bad at all. that s how we like it. aarp medicare plans, from unitedhealthcare. one nation in all of human history was built on that bedrock, ours. freedom has made america exceptional, but it can only last if you and i choose to act as people of character. forging character has been the pursuit of hillsdale college since 1844. todd: so yesterday i was in washington d.c., our nations capitol talking to folks at the values voters sum it inside view as the president is about to go speak, as you might imagine that crowd really really fired up to hear the president speak and we got a chance to speak with individuals both dignitaries as it were and the regular folk about what they thought. here is what they had to say. president trump: this morning i m honored and thrilled to return as the first sitting president to address this incredible gathering of friends [applause] president trump: so many friends. todd: you heard the president s speech what did you think? oh, he was fantastic like he always is. he was very relaxed very much at home but he also recognizes how important this voter group was. it was so inspirational, it was just amazing. it seems like the values is something he was really focused on. i think the president did outstanding and he hit a home run here and connected with the people. todd: how do you think the president is doing with regard to conservative issues? he s doing very well. go back and remember that 81% voted for donald trump which is the highest ever. i think president trump is doing an amazing job when it comes to conservative issues. president trump: everyone here today is brought together by the same shared and time less values. many times voters like this are pigeon holed into one or two issues when we know there are actually full spectrum conservatives, social economic moral and defense issues. president trump: we protect religious liberty. todd: how do you feel the president is doing with regard to what you call the attack on christian liberty? i think he s doing an outstanding job. president trump: we cherish the sacred dignity of every human life. we believe he s doing wonderful things for the pro life movement and speaking out for our values, defending the unborn. president trump: bureaucrats think they can run your lives, overrule your values. todd: how do you feel the president is doing with regards to small government issues? he s doing an absolutely fantastic job. todd: with regard to issues important to you how do you think president trump is doing? marvelously. in spite of all of the attacks and vicious and the rest of that he is progressing forward. i agree with the president, the progress he s making, i want to encourage him to continue to bring us together. president trump: we re saying merry christmas again. [applause] todd: why is something as simple as merry christmas so important? it s symbolic. that is symbolic of the greater battle that is raging for the heart and soul of this nation. we need to bring christmas back and i love how donald trump is doing that. president trump: in a trump administration, our nations religious heritage would be cherished, protected and defend ed like you have never seen before. the encouragement that i think people here at the values voter summit and across the country takeaway is that we have a president who understands these are important issues and he s working on it. i ve been in this country since 1967 and when i came here, america was great and i saw the deterioration and donald trump is going to revive those values and restore the great america. president trump: above all else we know this, in america, we don t worship government. we worship god. [applause] todd: you guys what really stood out to me about the emphasis on family there is as you saw in that piece and as the crowd dictated, it really does transcend race and religion, the two biggest years were from merry christmas and for israel there you go. david: by the way my part on this that little girl? we were just talking about christmas when she said the christmas line and i m like that s awesome because i m not guy that when the song triggers in my head that it s christmas music. todd: for the next month and a half. abby: is it too soon to start now? todd: not for abbey. abby: i ll be getting it going on the car ride home. in serious news, devastating wildfires out west turning entire communities into ash. one pastor forced to flee his home amid the flames now using faith to get him through and will join us live with his story and advice next. 9 out of 10 couples prefer a different mattress firmness, so we created the only bed that adjusts on both sides to your ideal comfort, your sleep number setting. you can even see how well you re sleeping and make adjustments. does your bed do that? the most amazing part is they start at $699. that s $200 off our queen c2 mattress during the final days of our fall sale. ends sunday. visit sleepnumber.com for a store near you grandma s. aunt stacy s. what are the reasons you care for your heart? qunol coq10 with 3x better absorption has the #1 cardiologist recommended form of coq10 to support heart health. qunol, the better coq10. our guests can earn a free night when they book at choicehotels.com and stay with us just two times? fall time. badda book. badda boom. pumpkin spice cookie? i m good. book now at choicehotels.com congregation and this fire just tell us about that. pastor: well you know, it was kind of an odd situation because i was on a plane to pittsburgh to do some tv interviews so my wife text me and said that we have five minutes to get out of the house what do you want? and it was amazing, you know, how it changes your whole outlook on life, because i thought of well, i want family photos, i want the flag of my father that was draped at his arlington funeral, and you just kind of go through the basics of life but you realize when it all comes down to it we have everything because we have our family, our life and whatever happens is really in god s hands abby: you ve written a beautiful op ed for fox news.com and i want to read our audience apportion. you say i get it moral evil can be explained by the free will of man but much of the things we face are not a result of our free will, so where do i go from here? either god or nature which he created, must cause these physical evils, but these things seem incompatible with all lov ing, all-powerful god. a lot of people after, you know, hurricane devastates their home and everything they had and loved and fires like you re experiencing they re angry right they wonder why god could do something like this, where do you find that strength and how do you turn to faith to help you rebuild? pastor: over the years, of course i ve dealt with a lot of situations like this and i believe there s a divine tension and somehow we know that there s this god who loves us and obviously has blessed us in so many ways but at the same time we have this tension of the not yet always abides with us and i think that s where our faith really grows is in that tension and when we try to deny that tension, then we move into anger , we move into bitterness, we question the character of the nature of god himself. todd: pastor phil i want to ask you this quickly. what do you say to all of the folks there in california who are undergoing the same thing that unfortunately your family did? pastor: i think, you know, community is important. love one another. we live in a call de sack that s really multi-ethnic and multi- religious and we just love , you know we love our muslim neighbors and booed it s neighbors and try to show the love of christ to everyone and i think love never fails is what the bible says. abby: pastor good to have you here i m glad your family is safe and you re back in your home we re hoping the best for everyone else out there. good to see you. thank you so much. abby: more fox & friends right after this.
we re lye in the cnn newsroom. thanks for being with us. it is a storm for the record books. harvey living up to all of the fears and the predictions by bringing catastrophic flooding to parts of texas, including the nation s fourth largest city. around 3,000 national guard members have been activated as water fills home and streets. some families desperate to get to higher ground for forced to use axes to chop their way out of their attics and on to the roofs of their homes. pets are being carried in coolers as people with forced to wade through waist high water trying to get to safety. the two major airports are closed, every single highway in the state is under water and it s only going to get worse saying that the breadth and intensity of the rainfall is beyond anything ever experienced before. cnn was there when an a dramatic rescue took place in dickinson. we re live. ed, what is the latest that you re seeing? actually we re going to show you the video of the moment when it happened. try to get them in the boat so we can get them out of here. i m going to put the mike phone down while we help them get into the boat. how are you doing sir? might be better to get in on that side there. let me see if i can get something for you to you want to give me your hand, sir and i can try to pull you up. how are your arms feeling? okay. jason, you want to come up here and help? i can help lift you if that s okay. you ready? one, two, three. got it? yeah. get that foot in there. it s not too bad. just sit wherever you feel like, you know, is the most comfortable for you. just sit right there on the edge and we ll take care of you. are we taking on water? it s all of the rain we had earlier today and i never bailed it out. it s not a problem, though. you doing all right? yeah, i think so. long day? yeah. hey, we ve got this gentleman s wife and their daughter that still need to be pulled out of here, so austin and seth, the volunteer i want to bring in ed now live for us. ed, you re off of the boat. what is the latest? what has happened sense that moment that you brought us that rescue live here on cnn? reporter: well we re out here on interstate 45 now. pam jones and their mother being treated now. they re waiting for a vehicle that can drive them off and get them to safer ground. we re out of the neighborhood. she s finally being treated here. so everything is going to work out just fine. but to give you a sense, the rescues continue. it just isn t the boat that we were on. there are hundreds of volunteers fanning out in this one particular area of dickinson, texas, south of downtown houston. the city of houston. i think we re 25, 30 miles ousoh of houston. this entertain has essentially become a boat launch fb volunteer rescuers taking flat boats out into the neighborhoods with f , fanning out into the neighborhoods and rescuing people. this is austin seth who was manning the boat. heck of a day for you? it was definitely an interesting one. wasn t what i was planning on doing when i woke up this morning. reporter: you pulled about 15 people probably total out of these neighborhoods today. i think that s what it ended. being, about 15. reporter: your emotions after finishing up a day like that? there s not words like this. seeing it is sad but i can t imagine living it. it s unreal. reporter: many people are grateful to people like austin seth who lives an hour away, came down here, brought his boat and pulled people out. this has been going on throughout most of the day. kind of a little bit of a race against the clock because as you might remember from pam jones, the woman we were in her house, she was worried that many boats were passing by and she wasn t going to get on a boat before nightfall and having to spend the night in the house. oddly enough, that neighborhood actually had some power. they actually had some air conditioning. as devastated as that neighborhood looking, oddly somehow the power stayed on perhaps making it slightly more comfortable for them while they waited. the good news is pam jones, who you see standing there, her mother and father out of the neighborhood. they ll be loaded on to a bus or some other vehicle to take them i think they were trying to get so some relatives homes tonight. the work continues to intensify here in houston. one part of their journey has a happy ending but really it s just beginning for a lot of the people there. thank you. moments ago, president trump tweeted about the storm recovery saying quote, historic rainfall in houston, all over texas floods are unprecedented and more rain coming. spirit of the people. is incredible. thanks. brian todd is in houston. she s joining us now. you re with more rescues under way. reporter: that s right. we hitched a ride with two of the private rescuers. we ve been pulling people out of the omni hotel. this is the entrance of the lobby. you re witnessing a rescue life. they re pulling people out of the omni hotel. look at how deep the water is. here s a group of people being pulled onto the boat right now. this is brian meadows, one of rescuers. his partner is here hole. ing people get onto the boat. maybe we can talk to them. we ve been at the staging area where they ve launched these boats for the last hour and a half, two hours. and there have been several people pulled out and taken to those areas and shuttled to safety in other hotels. these people elected to come. we re tolds that some people are electing to stay at the omni hotel even though the water, as you can see, is past people s knees. and it s we re told that it s rising. you can see in the lobby, i can see a staircase with the water going up the staircase a little bit. the water is rising. we re getting a break in the rainfall right now. it has not rained for at least 45 minutes. and so but they continue to pull people out. we re told that between 60 and 80 people were stranded inside here. the hotel staff has kept everyone calm. they said the people can stay for as long as they want. ma am, hi, can you tell us what your name is, please? marion washington. reporter: describe what the conditions are like. they re bad. the whole lobby is flooded. but we re associates. reporter: you work here? yes. reporter: what s the hotel doing to, i guess, make people comfortable. and some people are actually staying, correct? i m not sure. all i know is they re trying to make us comfortable. they re taking us to the hotel. reporter: good luck. seth roberts is here, one of the rescue rescuers. tell me some of the logistical problems you re running into. there s water in some places and there s not water in other places. it makes it a little tricky. we ve got a lot of calls coming in on facebook right now. we re trying to get to people and trying to get everybody out of here safely so that we can get other people that are families and kids and elder folks that need to get out of the house. so we re just doing our best to get everybody safe right now. reporter: seth, thanks for talking to us. i know he s got to do his work and climb back into the boat. we re told about 60 to 80 people have been stranded in here. and seth told me a minute ago that they want to get as many people out of here as they can because there are other people in residential areas behind this hotel who need rescuing from their homes. of course it s been a recurrent theme all day here in houston. people needing to be pulled out of their homes. officials telling them don t go to your attics. get to your roof top. if you have to go to the attic, bring an ax or another heavy piece of equipment to punch a hole through. that s how dramatic it is here. there are some other boats that have come to pull some others out of here. brian todd in houston during more rescues taking place at this hour. thank you. joining u now, the texas governor, greg abbott. thank you so much for taking a moment to be with us. seeing those rescues taking place, you must be proud of the citizens of your state right now. texans are the best. i am so proud of my fellow texans and the way they re responding. thankful for the first responders and the terrific work they re doing. we re working to aid them by deploying 3,000 national guard members as well as providing about 200 or so boats and helicopters for emergency rescues. but it s these first responders who are making life and death decisions, who helping so many people live. i m so proud of them and what they re doing. i want our fellow texans to know we ll continue to effort until we get to every single person. downtown houston is obviously under water. people are having to use axes to chop their way out of the attics onto their roofs. i m not sure if you saw some of the people rescued live here on our air. i m wondering why there wasn t a mandatory evacuation issued for the houston area. can you tell us about that? well, of course those decisions are made at the local level by law here in texas. but listen, now is not the tame to do any second-guessing. now is the time for all of us to come together and work to save lives. this is a matter of moments and we need to use every moment we have to rescue innocent lives, to get them to a safe place and then to begin the rebuilding process. e with eve seen private citizens using boats to rescue people. do you think there were enough resources in place ahead of the storm? well, again, those are decisions made at the local level. we have a raid put together, about 250 boats, and sent them to houston, texas to make sure they will have all of the boats that they should be able to need. it s great when we see so many texans this is really typical of what we see of our fellow neighbors. they re going to come out and help others. so many people in texas, they re not going to wait for some government official to come by. they re going to take matters into their own hands and do what they can to help their neighbor. do you know how many people have within rbeen rescued today within the last 24 hours? i have not seen a count but it is 0 ur canning by the minute. i want you to know and i want hugh stone i houstonians know we re going to continue this around the clock. do you know how many people have died? the last number we had were at least two people confirmed dead due to the storm. there are reports of people who have died but we don t know if it s as a result of the storm. we need to wait for confirmation of that. we want to safe all of those that need to be rescued. what do you say to somebody who may be trapped in their home right now watching the water level inside their home slowly kri croup creep up? they need to get higher in the house, part of it could mean signaling outside so that rescuers will know that they re in there. there will be different types of rescuers constantly working, some by boat, some in the air, some trying any way they can to get to every home. and so if you re inside a home, try to make it visual on the outside to let someone know that you are in there. we re hearing from meteorologists there could be an additional 20, 25, 30 inches of rain that falls in this area that s already flooded out. what s happening right now in terms of coordinating with the emergency responders in your state to prepare for the additional rainfall that s still coming? right. we have the state emergency responders kooshd nating with the county and local emergency responders. and understand withe only part this involves houston. a lot of the rain is falling in more rural areas where there s still a whole lot of population that we re involved in trying to protect and save. this is a really massive effort responding to a massive storm. and do you feel prepared? we have so many assets that we re able to provide to this. and because we ve gotten the approval of the presidential declaration, we now have this work and aid of fema in this process. so we re going to be adding more personnel and assets on top of the 3,000 national guard there will be many more coming in to aid in this process. governor greg abbott, thank you again for spending time with us. best of luck to you and your state. thank you so much. i want to go now to a press conference being held by the mayor of houston. let s listen. let me talk about the assets that we re working with. there are 22 aircrafts that are working with us in terms of identifying people who are stranded maybe on their roofs. 16 of the 22 are from the coast guard. they have been flying about. and in many cases actually taking people off of the root, taking them to some other location. certainly want to thank the coast guard for its work. the fema task team force is now on the ground as of today. fema has 16 assisting in search and rescue. four of the teams consist of 80 members and two of the teams consist of 60 members. so they are assisting. with regards to additional assets, we re operating with 35 boats, high water rescue boats and then 93 dump trucks, high water rescues. 49 of the 39 came in today. 20 from the texas military and then another 29 later on today as well. so we recognize that we have a number of needs exist across the city, across the city, so i m very grateful to that. and then i certainly want to acknowledge calls and support that we have received from mayors across the country. the dallas mayor, san antonio, columbus, new orleans, baton rouge, boston, los angeles. and i especially want to thank all of the mayors, new york, and then i just got off of the phone with mayor watch out of boston who will be sending, you know, clothes for adults as well as children. he just wants no know what ages are most in need. he s also sending some high water rescue vehicles as well, as well as cots for those in our shelters. i want to thank all of the other mayors, san antonio, l.a., dallas, all of them have indicated that they will join in and asseist and i certainly appreciate their support on multiple levels. let me call on the chief for comments that he might have. thank you, mr. mayor. so again, i want to echo the mayor s sentiment. we really appreciate everybody that s stepping up to help us today and throughout this event that we re trying to manage here at the city. we have, as of right now, we have imagined to cut most of our calls for service holding in half. i think we re down to 400, last check through our cad system and verified 105 calls for water rescue. we re steadily working and whittling away at all of those people, all of you all who have been calling for our assistance, we have more resources in the field now than we did earlier. as we get more partners join in to help us manage the situation. if you do not have to leave your home, if you do not have to get out on the roadway, please do not do so. call us. we ll be there. we have more boats in the water. we have more high water rescue vehicles now. we ve almost doubled our ability to respond and we ll get to you. and again i want to also emphasize, please do not go up in your attics if you re trying to escape water because that could be a trap for you where you may not be able to get out. attics are not the place to retreat to if you re in your home and your home is taking on water. you need to get out where you can be seen and we can respond and find you. as far as our sister cities, we re leaning forward in terms of reaching out and developi ii mous. our officers are leaning forward, doing a fantastic job. everybody is here, almost every officer is here and accessible and able to go out to do their job and protect the city, even in the face of their own families being home and some of them having the challenges that they re having to imagimanage. but we re out there. we will be leaning on our sister cities for additional help in managing and assuring that the public is safe. that no one is missed and that we are also sure that people s property is safe when they do leave their homes. we ll lean as far forward on that as we can. it s an ongoing project, challenge that we re going to face here. but we have the people committed to do it and we will continue to do so. so thank you. and i certainly would be remiss without acknowledging and thanking all of our first responders, houston police officers, houston fire department who have been out on the front line and have just done a yeoman s job. they ve demonstrated their commitment and love for the city. they ve been out there in the water. i certainly want to thank them as well. chief with the fire department. thank you were mayor. i want to first thank certainly the office of emergency management for really the hospitality they provide us for the last three days here and will continue to host us for the foreseeable future here as we re still not out of the woods. we expect heavy downpours at certain times. so we want to encourage the public to please be mindful that standing water is extremely dangerous. it s extremely dangerous. you can t tell what you re stepping into. so please, if you don t have to be in the streets, don t be out in the streets. and please, please don t drive. the houston fire department has been working tirelessly, as has the houston police department to try to effect rescues and keep the public straight. we re working to switch personnel, keep them fresh. keep their head in the same, so to speak, and keep their situational awareness where it should be. we re going to work with our partners. we do have state assets now in place. we are more efficiently being able to affect the rescues and the demand for service here in the city of houston and we re going to continue to really provide a presence out there and ensure that we re doing the right thing for this community. thank you. thank you, chief. dennis, the rescues of homeland security, we ve been housed here for the next several days and we ll be housed here for several days to come. dennis. thank you, mayor. so the city s emergency operation center is operating at a level 1 which essentially means that all city departments are represented here, along with our partners both at the state and federal level. we ve got resources from all of these different agencies. it s unbelievable about the cooperation that s going on among the vary agencies. the bottom line is we re not out of the woods yet. we saw the weather deteriorate a little bit yesterday. and so i think we ll see us here for several more days probably as we continue to work with our partners and more assistance comes in from other departments. so a big thank you to all of our partner agencies both at the federal, state and local level. we ll continue to work with thing. thank you. thanks, dennis. leadership to the mayor s homeless programs, homeless initiatives. working with the coalition for the homeless we have been coordinating with our agencies that have been working with the homeless outreach teams and shelters. the majority of the homeless are off of the streets and are in area shelters. we we ve worked closely with store hope as well as salvation army who have around 500 more homeless individuals than normal in their shelters. homeless individuals have been going to their regular shelters, including the george r. brown. four days ago the sheriff s department homeless outreach team and outreach teams from partner agencies have been working to get the home sbools she homeless into shelters. they ve done a great job. the vast majority are off of the streets. our first responders are still working with some to convince them to come off of the zreestr. our thoughts are with the entire houston community. we have a number of partners working with the city. i certainly want to thank all of them. i do want to highlight the red kos cross. they have been very supportive. three phases, the prepreparation to the storm, the second is what are we doing during the storm and the third will be the aftermalafte aftermath. i want to thank red cross for stepping in early, even in the prepreparation phase. we had identified two shelters, one that we can remember from the last major storm in april of last year, we know what happened when the waters came in and the apartment complexes were flooded and all of the panned modemoniu occurred. we re able to caulk to them before the deluge of water came in and that was a pretty good transition. i want to thank the red cross for their participation. and second i want to thank the members of the sait-based community, prior to the rainfall. more than 25 churches for stepping up making their facilities, indicating that they would make their facilities available. i want to thank the members of the faith-based community. and people of the business community and other nonprofits for being supportive. this is not a one-two-three day deal. even when the storm is no longer a storm, we know that the aftermath is going to require a lot of attention, a lot of focus to get people back into a sense of normalcy. but i do want to thank everyone for just working with us and i want to thank his tooustonians doing their part helping us get through this. having said that we ll take whatever questions you may have. reporter: you commenteds just then on the community and what all they ve done. consider the likely event in advance [ inaudible ] absolutely not. you know, county judge emmett and i have talked and we both wholeheartedly agree. the best course of action for the people in the city of houston and for harris county were for people to stay in place. number one, in you can recall, there was a lot of conversation about the direction in which hurricane harvey was going to go. no one knew which direction it was going to go. it s difficult to send people away from danger when you don t know where the danger is. number two, to try to put forth some sort of evacuation in a couple of days was a little i mean the logistics would have been crazy. okay? because if we can remember the last time we evacuated, there was a great deal of confusion, a great deal of chaos. people literally going to austin on the road 10 to 12 hours, if not longer. there were people that ran out gas on their way. it takes a lot of preparation. you have to have an evacuation plan. and then in the city of houston there are 2.3 million people. when you combine that with harris county you re talking about 6.5 million people. where are they going. and then once they re away from the city of houston, they re away from our assets and our ability to help them. and they re not looeflg teavingy and staying away. at some point in time they are coming back. and when they come back how do you handle that type of a traffic coming back into the city. and when you have many roads that are impassable as they are today, can you imagine the nightmare it would be with millions of people coming back into the city where many of the communities are under water, streets are not passable. no. the decision that we made was a smart one, it was in the best interest of houstonians. it was the right decision in terms of their safety. and always we must put the interest of the city of houston and houstonians first. that s exactly what we did. absolutely no regrets. we did what was the right thing to do and we are acting according to the plan that we laid out. yes. [ inaudible question ]. last year, in april 2016 when we faced the flood, we had a number of people at the campbell center that went quite smoothly and we transitioned them from the shelter and put them into temporary housing and eventually into permanent housing. the reality is that because of the wide spread flooding that has taken place, the last day or so. there are a number of people that don t have a place to go. and many of the people, for example, that went to the george l. brown today, they came today in wet clothes. they don t have a place to go. the stress level for them is great. many people were in homes with water. okay. some of them were senior citizens. some of them have families. some of them have pets. so this was this was part of the plan, to help provide stability and security in their lives, to put them in a better place, albeit temporarily as we transition them and get them back on their feet. and i think, i think in this city we know how to do it in such a way that is not chaotic. but it s respectful. it s dignified. you don t rob them further of what they have lost. but you recognize that at any point in time, when people are in crisis, you do your very best to provide them with some degree of normalcy. that s what s occurring here. and i want to thank all of the partners for being exceptional. these people are part of their family. and what happens when a family member is in need? we wrap our arms around our brothers and sisters and we give them the help that they need. help put them back on their feet. [ inaudible question ]. absolutely. many of the 49 that we re talking about high water rescue vehicles are boats. we had a number that existed in our own inventory, fire has some already, police has some, public works had some, fbi in the area had assets. but the flooding that is taking place is unprecedented. historic. and was all over the city and all over the county, in fact all over the region. and it s not unlike what took place, they re saying 2016, when you may have had one or two areas that needed high water rescue vehicles. in this particular instance high watt esh rescue vehicles have, needed all over the city and all over the county. and quite frankly we simply did not have enough assets within their existing inventory to meet those immediate demands. i am very thankful that we were able to obtain additional high water vehicles today, and boats today. and then just like mayor wash from boston indicated he s sending additional report as well as others that will be doing the same. [ inaudible question ]. look. we asked everybody, you know. if you got a high water vehicle or high water boat, look, we ll be very appreciative and we certainly will thank you. we want to get to those who are in disstress. those who are on the roofs, those in the attics, in their homes, we want to get to them as quickly as possible. can you imagine the worst thing is to be out of your home on the roof, in the attic, in a house in water. i mean you want out of that situation as quickly as possible. so we want to get to people as quickly as possible. so in order to do that you can have the personnel but they also need to equipment. [ inaudible question ]. the goal is to stabilize their lives and to transition them out of the shelters as soon as possible. again, like last year we put them in shelters, for example, on, i want to say like a monday no, i think it was like on a friday, they went in to the shelter on a friday and by that following week we were transitioning them out to either some other form of housing. you don t want to keep people in a shelter too long. many people have their families, they have their pets. so the goal is to provide them with the assistance that they need and to stabilize their situation and to transition them to a better, a better place in their lives as quickly as possible. [ inaudible question ]. we ve been listening to the houston mayor addressing residents in houston as they face a catastrophic water event. it s now a tropical storm continuing to batter the area with a torrential amount of rain. they ve received 24 inches in houston alone and meteorologists are forecasting at least double that before this event is over. he talked about some of the resources they have right now deployed to help make water rescues which have been going on throughout the day. we know the galveston county alone they ve made more than 1200 rescues. they have 22 aircraft, 39 boats and 93 high water rescue vehicles in houston continuing to work and they re urging people to need help to get in a place where rescuers can see them and find them and get to them as quickly as possible. i want to bring in now a tweet from the former president, barack obama who just sent out this message. thank you to all of the first responders and people helping each other out. that s what we do as americans. here s one way you can help now. and he retweeted a link to the american red cross. so many have lost to much already in this storm. for more information on how you can help the victims of harvey, just log on to cnn.com/impact. we ll be right back. knowing where you stand has never been easier. except when it comes to retirement. at fidelity, you get a retirement score in just 60 seconds. and we ll help you make decisions for your plan. to keep you on track. it s your retirement. know where you stand. no, it s this john smith. who we paired with a humana team member to help address his own specific health needs. at humana, we take a personal approach to your health, to provide care that s just as unique as you are. no matter what your name is. at holiday inn express, we can t guarantee that you ll be able to contain yourself at our breakfast bar. morning, egg white omelet. sup lady bacon! fruit, there it is! but we can guarantee that you ll get the best price when you book with us. holiday inn express. be the readiest.

not everything. at midas we re always a touch better. book an appointment at midas.com there are still many people trapped in houston as the flood waters rise. we have paying churs from an permanent building in houston where the water is flooding the entire first floor right now. and louise walker is joining us, she took these pictures and is still at the apartment. how are you doing? caller: we re fine so far. we re out of the water that was in my apartment. we have managed to go upstairs to a neighbor s apartment. so what the is situation where you are now? caller: where i am now bottom level is waist deep in water. we have helicopters that are flying over us rescuing people. we have people that have who are living in these first floor apartments like i have, they have been breaking into empty second level apartments to have somewhere to go because we can t get out we re completely surrounded by water. we can t get out of our apartment complex. no one can come in. we re just stuck here. that sounds quite scary. whap s goi what s going through your mind? caller: like when does it end. and another thing, it s going to keep pouring down rain until wednesday. what do we do until wednesday? how do we get out of here? and you know, the helicopter and any type of emergency assistance is not coming this way unless we are in immediate danger, like if we re stuck in our vehicle or if we have to climb to the roof. but other than that, then no one is coming. what is your plan at this point? caller: my only plan at this point is to stay out of the water. i ve been keeping in contact with family and friends. but other than that, we can t do anything. it s just like we re literally stuck here. you went up to your neighbor s house on the second floor. were you and that neighbor close before or did you just go up out of the moorj that it was and introduce yourself? walk me through how that happened. caller: fortunately for me i do speak with my neighbor and i called her and told her that the water was starting to come into the house and she invited us up there. but there are a lot of people that don t know their neighbors or interact with their neighbors and they re breaking into the empty second story apartments just to get to safety. oh my goodness. were you able to take any of your possessions with you when you went upstairs? caller: last night the water got to where it was just at the door but not come into the house and they gave me an opportunity then to pack some clothes. but just what i could fit in the suitcase. just important paperwork. but things like the furniture and your equipment, things like that, you know, they don t, they don t come. you just grab what you can fit. i m so sorry for what you re going through. i understand you recently moved to texas from louisiana and you lived through hurricane katrina. is this taking you back a little bit? we just moved here last august. moving from a 2016 flood in baton rouge. and here it is august 2017 and i m in a whole different state and yet we experience this once again. unbelievable. you are so resilient. thank you so much for you time. best of luck to you. thank you. a massive search and reese cue operation is under way right now in rockport, texas and the surrounding county. we have some drone video to show you some of the damage from hurricane harvey that took a direct hit in that area. about 400 people are now searching homes for any sign of life in a coastal community that took a devastating hit. to add insult to injury, rockport has also had tornado warnings, torrential downpours and flooding. martin savage is joining us now from rockport. i understand the water has receded from that area, martin, but what s left behind? reporter: what s left behind is a massive mess of devastation. we re just sort of walking along here as you look at one store front and you get a sense that this is going to be multiplied block after block and street after street. so the store fronts here completely caved in. the billing that makes up the entire strip mall is demolished. it s not going to be rebuilt. you d have to start all over. store fronts, glass doors all pushed in. the roof completely ripped off. all of this an indication of what a category 4 hurricane can and will do, especially with the incredibly strong winds. some say the winds got up to 130, maybe 140 miles an hour. we also got some pictures from in some of the residential areas. i don t know if you can show that. it is not just businesses that have been severely impacted here. it is also people s homes. and the amazing thing is, there again, street after treat and block after black the houses and these are brick and mortar houses have been pulverized. and then there are the apartment complexes. and after the apartment complexes you run into things like the hotels. so this is an entire town that has been just devastated by the result of this category 4 hurricane. so as they deal with the tremendous water that they re fighting with there in houston, here they ve got a total different thing. there s no electricity, no water that you can either drink for sewage. communications, cell phone, all of that is almost nonexistent. the infrastructure has been wiped out. and there s no place to go that you cannot see it. we struggled to give you the sense of scale to all of this. you just can t. it goes on and on and on and on. and they re trying to go through all of this debris to see if there are survivors or if there are any more fatalities but they re up against so much. this is such an ironic scene. you come into this bookstore and the books are all on the shelves here despite the mayhem and yet of course there s absolutely no roof left here of this place chb. wow. reporter: it s just one example. one more thing before we believe here, across the street. these are the first responders. they ve been pouring in. you ve got the state police here, the national guard that s here. you ve got the task one emergency search and rescue teams that are here. heavy earth moving equipment is in here to scleclear the street. you ve got buses taking people away because essentially the mayor and everyone else has said this community is not livable at this point. so if you rode it out, you got to get out now because you can t exist without electricity and clean water. otherwise, if you are out of town, don t come back. we re weeks way way from electricity here. martin savage in rockport, texas. thank you. as we go to break real quick, i want to show you some pictures of a flooding rescue that just happened in houston. a helicopter at work in the flood zone. we re back in just a moment. it s ok that everybody ignores me when i drive. it s fine. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i m accident free. because i don t use my cellphone when i m driving. even though my family does, and leaves me all alone. here s something else. i don t share it with mom. i don t. right, mom? i have a brand new putter you don t even know about! it s awesome. safe driving bonus checks, only from allstate. sometimes i leave the seat up on purpose. switching to allstate is worth it. that s why a cutting edgeworld. university counts on centurylink to keep their global campus connected. and why a pro football team chose us to deliver fiber-enabled broadband to more than 65,000 fans. and why a leading car brand counts on us to keep their dealer network streamlined and nimble. businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink. well, what are you doing o take care otomorrow -10am?

let s explain that. i m sure many people are like how do you know that? what happened 1,000 years ago. a one in 400 year event, we ve had this in the past couple of years. it does not mean that the next time we ll be in 1,000 years. it s a percentage of the chance on any given day or days that this amount of rain could fall. we ve never seen a system really recent american history that has been so challenging, but yet when you look to the computer models, so accurate. it is something something. in fact, even tracking storms around the world and typhoons, we ve never seen one without a steering current that has just been me yandering for days. this is still a tropical storm. it s feeding off the rainfall it s dropped on land. when you look at the bands of rain in houston, there was another band getting ready to move through in about an hour half, two hours, already the rain and severe weather with a few tornado warnings coming out of lake charles, louisiana. they ve issued 12 warnings. the houston office issued 132 tornado warnings and that watch is still in effect. these feeder bands continue to feed the storm. really what s next is pretty important. because it s still a tropical storm as it moves over the water on monday afternoon, it s like a refueling stop. it s going to start to feed on this warm water. secondary land fall, good agreement, they all bring in offshore. by thunderstorm morning, it s going to be close to where it made land fall. they slide to the north, and we concur coming back over galveston and houston. this will double the amount of rain that has already fallen in this area. can you imagine? some areas just to the south, 30 inches now. could we double that? if it stays on the eastern track, it could strengthen even more longer time in the water than move up into louisiana. this is still most likely in the state of texas come late thursday into friday. now the ten inch plus extends north and east. that means for emergency services and getting aid, they have now have got to expand their coverage and their calls for help have been still coming in. the other day, ana, i was on with jake tapper and we were talking about images of katrina and we were talking about the fears of getting thousands of 911 calls. now they have received 56,000911 calls for assistance. really quickly for you, we ve got a tropical storm developing off the coast of jacksonville, warnings, and watches getting ready to go into effect on the coast. it s name will be every ma. let s concentrate on this one. unbelievable. thank you so much. our coverage of tropical storm harvey continues in just a moment. hundreds of dollars on youmy car insurance. saved me huh. i should take a closer look at geico.

me. the heaters don t work. willful blindness to trump s triumphs and how the fbi and doj can stop the bleeding. that s the focus of tonight angle. think about how reporters would handle things under this hypothetical. hillary clinton, not donald trump, won the presidency in 2016. i realize that s terrifying to contemplate, but bear with me for just a second. imagine that bill is too old to chase intern so she isn t distracted by any new scandals, and somehow during her first year in office, hillary oversees a stock market rocketing up, there s a big drop in unemployment, including among minority workers, and imagine this, imagine consumer confidence, business investment, even wages in certain sectors, all up. imagine hillary announcing that dozens of american run businesses are bringing jobs back to the united states. they are doling out thousand actually some even trying to give obama credit for all of 2017s good economic news. he thinks it started from the day he became president when in fact he inherited good conditions. i thought barack obama did turn around the economy to bring it back from the precipice with tough action. mr. trump inherited an economy that was in full recovery for blacks and whites from president obama. now he s taking credit for picking up somebody at the end of a trip that somebody else broke the trip. laura: somebody else drove the trip. i don t even know what he s talking about. to add insult to injury, even while business leaders do credit trump s tax cut with all the deregulation, what s the big business story of today? here it is. a new reuters poll claiming that just 2% of americans have gotten a raise, a bonus or other benefits from trump s tax cuts. okay, kids, here s a lesson from laura. you usually get a benefit from a tax cut when you pay your taxes. everyone is going to benefit except for upper income earners. hello? and from the trump tax plan, they will see more money in their pockets come april when most people pay their taxes. most people don t pay quarterly. we will see if at that point reuters runs another poll just to see if people are happier or benefiting. a far more telling survey from the national association of business economics finds that company say sales and profits rose at the end of last year and nearly half of the respondents say they are now paying more in wages and in salaries to their employees. this is news that we ve been waiting for and that will benefit workers long term. it s about time people had a raise. i promise you, if hillary clinton had had this record, the praise would be deafening on the eve of her state of the union. meanwhile, the media spent the day blaming the real president for the voluntary resignation of fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. the president play this very active, public role in pressuring the justice department to get rid of mccabe. so far the white house is saying the president was not involved in this, was not pushed at all. it seems hard to believe that. this is yet another instance of the president bullying and pressuring law enforcement agencies he s concerned about investigating him. if anybody thinks in the justice department laura: media bias at nbc, that s my question. the only problem with that lovely scenario they painted, there s no evidence to indicate that trump is responsible for the resignation. do we really want to deputy director of the fbi who was so nomadic recused himself from both probes. there was a new york times story tonight suggesting that fbi director christopher wray was concerned about the findings of a forthcoming government investigation into the fbi and into mccabe s conduct. that s the inspector general s report. the time source said that the director and mccabe had a frank conversation about that report and apparently a demotion was discussed for mccabe. whatever the explanation for his departure, i say this, it s about time. there s a larger point being lost in the mccabe blame game. the president is actually trying to restore confidence and law enforcement institutions that i think for a long time have been used as political instruments. there are a lot of great rank-and-file people, at the at the overwhelming majority. but when the leadership appears to have a political ax to grind, nobody is served by that. it s time to cleanse the upper tiers of the justice department and the fbi of all partisanship. media from the moment the story broke on all the other channels and on nbc, cbs, it was trump to blame? to blame is mccabe and to blame is comey and anybody else at the senior levels of the fbi. this is quite a disgrace for the for the bureau. as someone who worked with the bureau, i m truly saddened by the fall from grace for everybody there. make no mistake about it, this was a plot to exonerate hillary clinton illegally and then if she lost the election, to frame donald trump with a legal crime. this was the worst period in the history of the bureau, much worse than the late hoover period when they were spying on domestic groups. this is the weaponization of the fbi for political purposes by all the people at the upper echelon of the bureau. i think it s really time for people in the other party who seem to make nothing but excuses for the senior people at the bureau and the department of justice, may i say, to kind of wake up and see that what s coming now is the federal grand jury and it s not going to be pretty. laura: you represented the bureau in the public domain and you are the spokesperson for the bureau. your reaction to today s developments in the effort to blame donald trump for the early retirement of the deputy director? they d been talking for some time that he was looking to go on terminal leave and exit the bureau. i think that was hastened as a result of the director just yesterday going to the hill, looking at the information that went into this dossier. but i will tell you, no president, whether it s trump, obama or anyone else, tells the fbi which i do. the fbi is independent. they are there for the people. to think for a minute that a sitting president would be able to push out a deputy director, that goes against everything the fbi has stood for for the past hundred nine years. laura: did you speak to mccabe a few weeks ago? i happen to be at headquarters a few weeks ago and chatted with him briefly. laura: what did he say? we didn t talk about him possibly leaving. at that time he was in the office while the director was out on other business so essentially he s the man in charge. it seemed to be business as usual. however, everybody in the bureau knew that mccabe s days would be running short because of the history. if it was time for the bureau to move on with a clean slate and get back to the work that the fbi does. laura: joe, he wanted to leave in the spring. the ig report is coming out in the spring. but it s a wild coincidence, if indeed the fbi director strolls up to capitol hill on sunday, reads this very short report, four pages, and then it just so happens that monday, mccabe is like you know something, i would rather go skiing in breckenridge for the next two weeks. i m not going to be doing this work any longer. according to the new york times in the latest publications, christopher wray was shocked on sunday when he read the four pages. first of all, if that s the case, where has he been since he was sworn in? there is enough evidence on the public record. with the information from the inspector general and from the hill with the legal release of documents that it was clear that mr. mccabe and others had engaged in highly improper, probably illegal activity in the fisa court stuff along with the dossier from christopher steele. first of all, mccabe should have been gone a long time ago and so should strzok and page and all the people involved in this. this is a dark moment for the fbi. it s going to take a lot for them to recover from this. laura: we had jim comey tweeting after the mccabe news came out. he s tweeting quite a bit. very poetic. he sat special agent andrew mccabe stood tall over the last eight months. he always makes height references, i wonder why. one small people were trying to tear down an institution will depend on. he served with distinction for two decades, i wish andy well. i also wish continued strength for the rest of the fbi. america needs you. john, what you make of the comey tweets? small people, tall people. he s 6 8 , by the way. mccabe is part of comey s legacy. andrew mccabe did a lot of good things in the bureau during his career, but it doesn t matter. when you were doing something wrong, that is the time that it has to be stopped immediately. i had some very good agents that made an unfortunate mistake along the way. laura: he was the guy to whom peter strzok reported, correct? absolutely. laura: mccabe could have, joe, we re almost out of time, mccabe could have used one of the regular field office set of investigators to do both the clinton and the trump investigation. perfection also could run this thing and run it right. he chose to put together this team, correct? kind of an unfortunate mistake. comey was a dirty cop and he dirtied up everybody else around him. laura: we also have a huge development, by the way in the rush or pro. a house committee of course has begun investigating the investigators. up next, we will talk to a congressman who voted tonight to publicly release that memo that could spell big trouble for both the fbi and doj. coming up. starting with advanced manufacturing that brings big ideas to life. and cutting-edge transportation development to connect those ideas to the world. along with urban redevelopment projects worthy of the world s top talent. all across new york state, we re building the new new york. to grow your business with us in new york state visit esd.ny.gov. replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says, you picked the wrong insurance plan. no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with new car replacement™, we ll replace the full value of your car plus depreciation. liberty mutual insurance. smile dad. i take medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol. but they might not be enough to protect my heart. adding bayer aspirin can further reduce the risk of another heart attack. because my second chance matters. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. adam schiff, the top ranking democrat on the committee is wasting no time expressing his outrage. today this committee voted to put the president s personal interests, perhaps their own political interests above the national interests. laura: we also learned tonight that the intel committee has opened an investigation into the doj and the fbi. joining us now to discuss these developers, congressman chris stewart, a member of the intel committee from utah. great to see you, when can we expect this memo to be released? i would love it release to make. laura: it s in your pocket, i want that memo. pull it out, let s go. hopefully soon. it s important for the american people to see it. i hope he doesn t. laura: this is what mark walker, a republican from north carolina, said earlier today. let s watch. if your audience or if somebody is believing that this is the end all smoking gun, it isn t. does it name names? does it prevent some very intriguing facts that makes you ask even more questions to mike to make the case that this is the most shocking document in the history of mankind, i believe that s a little hyperbole. laura: are you guys engaged in hyperbole? i can tell you i haven t been. some people have and we have actually cautioned against that. this is an important document. it s very important for the american people. the process. i listen to mr. schiff and my head just wants to explode. my father was an air force pilot. to accuse us of saying we would endanger national security is just silliness. this memo doesn t do that. what it does do is ask these questions, was the fbi fair? for the accurate? we ve been making accusations, serious accusations, they ve been called traders, treasonous. for more than a year now. did the fbi make those kinds of accusations against innocent people with laughable evidence? that s the kind of think this memo will address. laura: congressman gates from florida has been a frequent guest on the show. to listen to congressman gates, this is just got barn burner of a memo. i think people have gotten your hopes up that this guy s going to go and end this person will lose his job and maybe this one will go to jail. i always find that republicans tend to, sorry, be bad storytellers. i m worried about that, as our other congressmen to whom i ve spoken in the last 48 hours. we kind of get, try to get people to temper their language. i can t speak for what everyone has said, but this memo is very factual. it s not emotional. it doesn t draw any conclusions, it just lays out the facts and let you draw the conclusions. laura: nancy pelosi spoke about an hour ago and i know you haven t seen it, so this is a gift for you, let s watch. they have made up a memo if that isn t even true, and they are lying to the american people. what are you going to do about it? the republican party, as i said, has crossed over to cover up. they are deadly afraid of the russia investigation. the fbi recently s selected by president trump, he got the memo. he could have, and said with due respect, you don t know what you re talking about. laura: she really gave it to chris cuomo. as she read it? i don t know. laura: i want to know. we had members of the department of justice over the weekend saying was reckless to release this memo when they had not read it. they didn t know what was in it. they were making accusations that they have no knowledge of. laura: where his sessions in all of this? what has he said? he is the head of the justice department in which the fbi resides. is he just not going to comment because russia? i recuse myself to all things related to russia, which i still don t understand. i think is one of the most decent, honorable men. i would say he has recused himself from one of the most important laura: you can t recuse yourself if you re going to be attorney general. i said it was you had not done that because you have i think you have an obligation to step aside and let the department to be led by someone who will not step aside. laura: you are saying sessions can t leave this department? i ve set it in the past, it s unfair for him, it s unfair for what we are trying to accomplish. laura: are there other people who are agreeing with you other than the few with quota publicly? i think there are a few. laura: i love jeff sessions. for some reason, i m concerned about this. great on immigration, good on some of the enforcement. gang stuff. frankly, the marijuana enforcement, which i think is good to give discretion to the field officers. this investigation, i m sorry, was a fraud from the beginning. rod rosenstein wet himself when he went over to the hill and is worried about answering questions. that just doesn t inspire a lot of confidence. these accusations in his testimony, that s just nuts. he was answering the question as he understood it. but unfortunately this city she was good people sometimes. laura: that s why you can t be recusing yourself and naming rod rosenstein as her deputy. we look forward to the release, and if you can give it to me before the end of the hour i would appreciate it. as congress struggles to find an immigration solution, that s a big deal for you guys, there s already a great plan in the senate that would address all the pressing problems, really? one of the authors of that bill, senator david perdue joins us with the details next. to you. oh no. well, you know, you re getting older. um, you might be experiencing some, ah, sensations. can t wait to be rescued? esurance roadside assistance lets you know when help will arrive. that s insurance for the modern world. esurance. click or call. stay at la quinta. where we re changing with stylish make-overs. then at your next meeting, set your seat height to its maximum level. bravo, tall meeting man. start winning today. book now at lq.com start winning today. if yor crohn s symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn t worked well enough, it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn s. entyvio works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. pml, a rare, serious, potentially fatal brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. this condition has not been reported with entyvio. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio. if your uc or crohn s treatment isn t working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. entyvio. relief and remission within reach. protections expired for about 800,000 of the so-called dreamers. democrats rejected president trump s offer last week of amnesty for nearly 2 million illegal immigrants in exchange for border security and illegal immigration cuts. but another plan exists that should be put on the table. republican senator david perdue is one of the men behind it. he joins us now with more. senator, always great to see you. i ran into you and a new event on saturday and i said you better come on the show, and here you are, so thank you. you and tom cotton in my view came up with an original idea that kind of in some ways mirrors what was going on in the hill with goodlatte and mike mccall. it was focused on the 800,000 daca people who are not kids, they are adults now for the most part. you did the chain migration, end of that, and a visa lottery. three or afforded later suddenly it s at 1.8 million. how did you go from 800 to 1.8 and was that thought process because you needed to pick up a few people? it s great to see you. a year ago you had tom cotton and myself on here and we started then with a very conservative approach of this to solve the legal immigration problem once and for all. we warned about the diversity lottery and we said we needed an end to chain migration. what we ve done there, the president has laid out, i believe, a framework that is ingenious, because we will find out if people are really serious about solving this immigration problem on both sides. i think we have the framework to actually get it done. laura: my listeners are livid. i don t mess on their show for the last three or four days and when did he campaign on this? my point is that if you want cuts in legal immigration, which is the big number, 1 million green cards every year, most of those are based not on merit but on extended family ties, aunts, uncles, cousins twice removed. i m not an amnesty person. i think it hurts people s feelings and sensibilities who have been waiting in line for a long time. what you say to those americans, americans were upset and the people waiting in line? the president has really laid out he wants an end to daca. what that means is he wants to provide they re not going to get in front of anybody, but what he is also done is given the conservatives of his party what he promised he would do, a safe and secure border with the wall. he wants to end chain migration, the most insidious part of this. it s what s caused us to be here. and we know we have a security issue with the diversity lotter lottery. laura: chain migration, i got to play this for you, kristen gillibrand, she s already kicking off her campaign practically, her views on chain migration. i think a lot of president trump s rhetoric is racist, and let s be very clear, when someone uses the phrase chain migration, it is intentional trying to demonize families, literally trying to demonize families and make it a racist slur. it s very interesting. they were out of touch when they tried to shut the government down. the shimmer shutdown. the idea, the term chain migration was termed by lyndon b. johnson, i think he was a democrat. bill clinton also called for an end when he and barbara jordan wanted to go to a merit based system like canada and australia. this is nothing more than democrats revealing how far out of touch they are. two-thirds wants to entry migration and the lottery fix the daca problem and build that wall. laura: she kept saying chained migration. she kept changing the term. totally. laura: some of the polls america the one migration. 68% oppose the visa lottery. 81% want legal immigration reduced. that s always the case whether it s the gallup poll or the harvard harris poll that just came out. 61% think border security is inadequate. steve king was on my show on friday, he said this. the numbers are just stunning. it to see that president trump has proposed 1.8 million amnesty for illegals. i think this will demoralize so very many of his supporters and how do we get back now to a place where we need to be with this? the answer is very simple. keep our eyes focused on the prize. the prize is the problems that got us focused here in the first place. chain migration on the lottery. laura: no more amnesty after this? this will be the last? this is the idea, to end the problem in the first place. laura: will they make you go up to 3 million, 4 million, i will say 5 million? if we do nothing it will be 7 million or more. this is an opportunity to stop this once and for all. laura: you think you will get enough democrats to support this? we will find out if they are really serious about solving the daca problem. laura: they don t want to give you a win on daca. they don t. we will find out. laura: a stunning new example and the contrast of the media s treatment of melania trump and michelle obama. you don t want to miss this nex next. me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn s disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. coming at you with my brand-new vlog. just making some ice in my freezer here. so check back for that follow-up vid. this is my cashew guy bruno. holler at em, brun. kicking it live and direct here at the fountain. should i go habanero or maui onion?

i don t think i m judging her life choices. if to be fair, i guess i would judge a woman who would choose to marry donald trump. he is truly a disgusting human being. i think that s like a nonpartisan issue. laura: that s not judging at all. that donald trump is disgusting? i think it s pretty much back at this point. laura: looked at our camera, so our listeners get the full sarah here. go ahead. i think donald trump is disgusting. i would say that is a fact. my story was more about how it wouldn t be surprising if a person married to donald trump was disgusted by him. i personally can t imagine a worse person being married to the donald trump. she s miserable. laura: let me get this straight, you are a reporter and you are writing about melania trump as if she s a political actor here and you are saying but that s a fact. use that donald trump is disgusting, that s a fact. you are a writer, so you know when you use the word disgusting, that s a subjective statement. it is not a fact. it is a fact that he s president of united states. it is not a fact that he is disgusting. you and your liberal friends could sit around talking about how awful the country is under donald trump. i grant you that, you think that. but how are you to judge another woman s choice about her relationship, and did you do the same, for instance, when hillary clinton stood by her man, when hillary clinton decided to fire or not fire someone who would reportedly sexually harassed someone on her campaign staff. we are making judgments about that or you reserve it for melania trump because you think her husband is disgusting? i wasn t covering the clintons, i was too young for that. with hillary, of course i would criticize her for doing that. laura: was her husband discussing? who, bill clinton? you just continuing to be like, what about these democrats, is not really an argument. you should be able to speak critically about the trump administration. your whole segment has just been talking about democrats and what they are covering. laura: what i m trying to do, sarah, it s fine, you are a liberal and you don t like trump. that s fine. but to write something about a woman s decision to travel to davo s are not travel, you make this wild leap of logic without any factual underpinning that i know of, and you carry yourself, it s a fact. what s the fact? with the evidence? is my opinion that he s gross and i can imagine being married to him. laura: i don t think anyone cares whether you want to marry him or not. he didn t ask you to marry him. you clearly care about my opinion of him because i m on your show right now. laura: i m trying to understand how a woman like you who carries herself off as a feminist tries to get in the mind of another woman. debbie that s her decision. it s her decision to believe what she wants to believe and live the life that she wants to live. maybe she thinks it s the best thing for the country. maybe she is wildly them up with her husband, but like all of us, are disappointed like people at various times. maybe you have the whole thing wrong. but as a woman and as a feminist, why are you questioning other women s choices? are you pro-choice? good one. being a feminist does not mean that you are not critical of women. you know that that s not what it means. you know it means equality for all genders. it s exactly what feminist means. it does not mean that i have to be nice to every woman that i meet. she is complicit in an administration that has been abhorrent as of now. racism has gone gump, anti-semitism has gone up. she is complicit in a pretty gross administration. the article was about my opinion. i think is disgusting. i can imagine being married to him at all the pictures we see her swatting his hand away are not evidence to the contrary. it kind of looks like she s disgusted by him. that s what my story was about. laura: that s fascinating. if they are happy, good, i hope she is happy. laura: i m sure you do. sherry hope she s happy. did you comment about michelle obama spending an extra three weeks in hawaii after that unfortunate deal with the selfie at the nelson mandela funeral? could you write about that or think about that? i guess two and a half weeks, something like that after that little episode. you don t member that? i don t remember $130,000 in hush money to a former star. laura: i guess that might pass as logic for your generation. you want to remember what you want to remember. michelle would have avoided in for a couple of days, you never know. laura: i have one question, are you going to give back the tax cut that you get because of this horrible president? are you going to give it back to the treasury to form some liberal program? i don t think it s too much for america to ask a decent man for president and someone who gives a tax cut. i m not greedy for wanting both. laura: you have a lovely evening. and hillary clinton s embarrassing cameo at the grammys and their award-winning hypocrisy when we return. educated back in bangladesh. my mom has her masters and my dad worked in the pharmaceutical industry. here they are serving food or they re delivering. and whether its hard for them internally, they never express it. they are always about doing what s best for my brother and i to lead a better life. giving back to them with whatever i earn at the end of my college experience is one of my top priorities. laura: you just knew that last night s grammys would have more anti-trump politics and #metoo moments. the public responded by tuning out in record numbers. somehow it did not strike organizers as hypocritical to feature a cameo by hillary clinton, arguably the worst enabler of a sexual abuse or that we ve ever seen in public life. of course, she the narrator of the recent anti-trump book. he had a long time fear of being poisoned. one reason why he likes to eat at mcdonald s. nobody knew what was coming and the food was safely premade. that s the one. with the grammys in the bag? in the bag. laura: she looked great there. this is a woman, by the way, that the grammys lionized. just like week we learned that hillary protected a campaign aide, or face consulting, and 2008 who was accused of sexually harassing a female staffer. some on her senior staff wanted him fired. there was sexual harassment involved, the young woman was very credible. my recommendation to the senator was to fire him. i was overruled. she overruled to personally? i was overruled, yes. laura: let s examine this breathtaking double standard with monica crowley in new york, senior fellow at the london center for policy research. and michelle from the center for american progress. michelle, take it away. it s the #metoo moment at the grammys and hillary clinton wouldn t fire a sexual harassment. i think without question hillary has been an advocate for women and girls her entire career. i actually thought that the grammys in the moment was a moment of levity, that it was funny. i thought she looked great, and i think she had a great time. i think if we sometimes take it out of always the crazy political, that s actually really good for us as a community, as a nation. laura: does it bother you that she wouldn t fire the guy? not a conservative right wing person. not at all. what i am concerned about is what we do right now to move forward to protect all women and girls. laura: don t we have better examples than hillary? why is hillary so when you want to have anyone near? that s my point. monica, let s get you in on thi this. they showcase are some heroine of the rights movement. go ahead, take it away. i found it amazing but not at all surprising that they would highly hillary clinton at the height of this cultural moment of awareness on sexual abuse, sexual misconduct. this is a woman who defended and protected a sexual predator for decades, a man also known as her husband. and of course we find out that she protected a campaign aide in 08 after she was warned, and she refused to dismiss him and not only that, his bad behavior continued after that and she continued make excuses for him. in this moment when you have all of these musicians on stage and they are all making political statements whether it s bono on immigration or the female artists on the #metoo movement, the ideas that they would take her and hold her up as some sort of symbol, that is self righteousness and hypocrisy. these are the least self-aware people on the planet. let s just step back. are we really saying that we are going to continue in 2018 to blame women for the sins of their husbands? that seems, in some ways, way antiquated and outdated. if you look at what hillary clinton has done, not who she is married to, but what she s done as senator or at the state department. she spent years and years of her time working on behalf of women and girls in this country and around the world. can i just lump in your?
