A morning show that highlights the latest headlines in news, weather, sports and entertainment, and is known for the cohosts casual and spontaneous. those who overstayed that s still a problem. the ones have to have round them up ice, tom homan. it s a great privilege to come in this country as a refugee nonimmigrant and to knowingly violate laws of this country after being given such a great privilege, that s somebody who needs to leave. they need to remove that privilege and remove them from the united states and send them home. brian: for example iraqi will came here as a refugee which he was just referring to. this iraqi in our country, multiple times including the latest one in colorado shooting a cop. and, yet, we re blaming ice for the people, for him being here. steve: that man s name right there is now charged with attempted murder of a colorado police officer. weighs involved in a shootout recently. here s the thing. there is no reason he should be in the country back in 2016, during the obama administration he was in ice custody, actually. and the courts said you know of the list. abby: this article sparked our attention, brian. a notre dame professor. so he makes an outrageous claim. he says there is a similarity between soldiers and the media. here is what he said. we thank soldiers for their service because they devote themselves to protecting our freedoms and we should. we should also thank the media for the same reason especially when the stakes have never been higher. that is making the rounds. ben shapiro had his own reaction. here is what he says in response. so many members in the media who seem intent on treating the media as a separate class from the rest of americans. this is what americans are responding to. the media don t seem to care when americans are attacked on a regular basis by politicians or when media members attack regular americans on regular basis. real interest lies in self-protection not in standing um for the american people. this is a serious problem. steve: and why is our press free? because the men and women who wear the uniform every day to give us those rights to be able to here at the couch tell you what s going on for folks in newspapers to write what s going on. but for this professor in management at motor dame to suggest there are parallels between the military and the press, some people have said, really? brian: he hopped on the media is the enemy line. i wish he won t say. to say you are satisfied with the what way other networks and web sites have r. treating you would be accurate as well. that s what the professor is talking about. abby: i have two members in the navy i could not imagine sitting down at the dinner table and say what i do is just as important as do you. they are important on different levels. to sail they are similar in any way. i can t imagine. they would probably be respectful because that s how our military is what they go out and do every day, steve, you said. this they allow us to do what we do. they allow us to sit on this couch and talk freely they also don t ask what president they are serving they don t get political. brian: it s important did you go to turkey and say something against the turkish government you go to jail. same thing in russia. same thing in china. ask google, can t put certain phrases in order to put google in that country. anything that says anything antigovernment. so, i can see some merit in what he is saying. i don t necessarily see the equation. done correctly, journalism plays a vital role. abby: there are a lot of good journalists throughout that are in harm s way when they re covering war and in dangerous situation we don t want to undermine that to compare the two people need to give that deeper thought. send us what you think at friends@foxnews.com. brian: jillian cannot be compared with anybody. no one like her. jillian mele with the news. jillian: thank you very much. quite an introduction. a manhunt underway in new jersey after two officers are ambushed at a red light. a gunman opening as many as 25 rounds at the undercover detective. when they were in unmarked car in camden. incredibly both officers have expected to survive. most recent attack comes just hours after an fbi agent was shot trying to arrest a murder suspect in los angeles. that agent is expected to survive. it s been three weeks since mollie tibbets vanished in iowa. this morning we are getting a better glimpse into exactly who she was. a friend posting this video from the day before she disappeared showing the 20-year-old laughing and smiling. this touching video from 2016 also surfacing online showing mollie sharing a personal story about fair during a faith event at her high school. i got down and i prayed and i asked god to give mee the strength to make it through it. tell me what to do to help me out with whatever happened and what his plan was. in that moment i knew that was god s moment showing me the power of prayer was really something. abby: a reward leading to information up to $400,000. first ever medal honoring military dogs. the legs ipresident of the u.s.r dog association ron iello has been trying to make this happen. he says his dog stormy were one of the first 30 marine scout dog teams deployed during the vietnam war. i wouldn t be here today if it wasn t for my dog stormy. i can tell you the first patrol i went on she saved my life immediately. there was a sniper in the tree did a right flank and she alerted on the sniper. each branch will canine medal recipients. stormy there. abby: what a great story. brian: stormy back in the news. steve: rahm emanuel with every excuse for the surge of violence in chicago land. one says the mayor has blood on his hands. and he is next. brian: one living legend says you will never see him kneel. jim brown s message for those protesters. t? smarter sleep. to help you lose your dad bod, train for that marathon, and wake up with the patience of a saint. and now, save up to $500 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. plus, no interest until january 2021. ends wednesday. it is such a good time to dance it is such a good time to [ laughing ] scoobidoo doobidoo scoobidoo doobidoo [ goose honking ] [ laughing ] a bad day on the road still beats a good one off it. progressive helps keep you out there. sargento balancede know gobreaks are a trio,threes. a triad, a trilogy of goodness. natural cheese, dried fruit, and nuts. three wholesome ingredients that live as one. savory, salty, sweet, a triangle, perfectly balanced. three is company, the musketeers. and in the eyes of real cheese people, never, ever a crowd. sargento balanced breaks. find them in the sargento cheese section. values about what is right and what is wrong. what is acceptable. steve: there have you got chicago mayor rahm emanuel on monday blaming gangs for a violent weekend in a city where 12 people were killed and i think over 60 people were shot. next guest says rahm emanuel is one of the people to blame. joining success former police officer and founder of seven star consulting dmitry roberts joins us from our nation s capital. good morning, steve. goo this is personal because your brother was shot. yes, he was. very unfortunate and very good man. outside of what s happened to me and my family, this is happening for a lot of people on both the south and west sides of chicago. at this point it really has to come to an end. steve: okay. the question is what are we going to do? we have heard a number of prominent democrats in chicago say mr. president, you have to help us because the people in charge here don t know what they are doing. i absolutely believe that the president has the resources. he has the platform and right now he has the voice that can go in and bring some real change to these issues. and, again, i state, this has nothing to do with politics. this has to do with american lives. and some of our most vulnerable citizens in our communities that need to be protected. steve: i heard rahm emanuel say that apparently he and the chief out there are going to rede ploy people who are in the various pry 60 s, take them off of one job and put them out on the front lines is that enough? no. and that s never been enough. there has been redeployments. i was part of redeployments. that s not enough resources. that s not enough people. that s not going to curb the violence in chicago. it never has and it s not going to do it this time. that s an 11th hour response and that response is just not good enough at this point. steve: if you were advising the president of the united states because as you said it s not a political issue. this is about americans in chicago who are afraid to leave their house for fear that they would wind up getting shot as your brother did and by the way your brother, as you know, lost his arm in that. what should the president think about doing regarding chicago? well, one, more resources. two, at a national level looking at u. not just how these issues are addressed in chicago but how these issues are addressed throughout the nation. these issues are going on in every major city in this country. and it has to be addressed on a national level. i can t stress enough that these underresourced communities are feeling the brunt of what s happening and that has to change. the president can do something about it with the stroke of a pen, as we know. steve: you think the president should visit chicago and even though he is not welcomed by probably rahm emanuel. rahm emanuel you feel will be voted out quickly? i think that this is rahm s last stand. and the reason for that is the folks that could have helped rahm stay in office are in the grave imrard, unfortunately. and, yes, the president needs to go there it s his duty and his respondsability to ensure that all americans are protected and taken care of at this point. steve: indeed, all right. dmitry, thank you very much for your point of view. thanks, steve. steve: the united states now working on identifying dozens of remains returned from north korea. we are live with update on doctors working on iding them coming up next. you see me. but if you saw me before cosentyx. i was covered. it was awful. but i didn t give up. i kept fighting. i got clear skin with cosentyx. 3 years and counting. clear skin can last. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you. cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis find clear skin that can last. don t use if you re allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. see me now. i m still clear. how sexy are these elbows?

are you going to stand up? this is our country, man. we work hard to make it better and that s my attitude. that is the attitude of jim brown. he also says he respects players rights to do what they feel is right but, when it comes to jim brown, the 82-year-old, you know, keep in mind since he retired from football he has been involved in social justice and change. he says he is always going to stand. abby: really powerful when a voice like that steps up and speaks. as you said, brian, he has been through a lot in this country. and taking a stand and saying it the way that he did, i think it speaks for some people in this country who feel the exact same way. brian: he knows the country is not perfect. he lived at a time in sir cus black players you stay in a separate holt as white teammates. the white teammates said no, we will stay with you and the rest of our time. kept it together. very divisive time. also a guy who knows that the community teamed together money so he could go to syracuse and they told him he got a full scholarship. they knew once syracuse gave a look at him they did give him a full ride. greatest players ever in lacrosse and football. so he saw the injustice. he also saw the goodness in our country. abby: he still wants to make it better. brian: he does it everyday. abby: this may not be the most productive way to do it. soindz like another book to ride. brian: it s his book. one more thing to this. instead in his twilight years sitting back he goes into prisons and started a program the mayo americana program teaches skills to read, to write, to make a resume. they get out they get a shot. that program has impressed the president he is taking elements of that and goes into the communities. abby: he went and sat down with the president. let vption that conversation and see if we can move forward together and make some change. steve: jim brown stands for the anthem and that s it. you met these identical twins on fox & friends. they are political opposites. one is a republican, one is a democrat. they both just ran for office. the results are. in they will join us live coming up. brian: a grouch pastors facing backlash because they met with president trump. that s the story. zachery woods here says the left should want those kinds of meetings to happen. as a democrat he says that and the world s going to know your name yeah how do you win at business?

why does everything break down on politics. joining us is zachery wood the assistant editor at the atlantic and the author of uncensored. meanwhile, zac great to see you. great to be here. brian: before i talk to you about your machine on this. i want you to hear the pass for van moody on saturday talk about his meeting with the president and the backlash he face you had. one was things that we see through that is that once we get beyond our disagreements, we have got to learn how to come together, find commonality for the common good. and that was the reach i went. brian: that s the reason he went. but the backlash he has gotten has been relentless. he doesn t regret it but he is really upset about it should he be? he should be. i think i respect the effort. and i think if you look at the history of this country, you will notice that the progress that we have made with respect to important issues it has always been difficult to achieve, whether you are looking at frederick douglass and abraham lincoln or a. philip randolph and fdr and martin luther king jr. those are pressing issues of the time and they weren t always easy to have. but we have to make the effort. brian: you have a lot of people line van jones when the white house called me up i have been very critical. but when you talk about prison reform i care more about prison reform than i do politics. what else it going to take. if it s about the american people, if it s about addressing issues that are critical in terms of improving their quality of life, then we have to put political differences aside and say we are willing to make an effort to listen and understand. brian: why don t we? because we get caught up with the views and values that we hold dear. that makes it very difficult for tours reach across the aisle and say i m interested in gaining a deeper understanding. brian: i hear this. we don t want to legitimize the president. exactly. brian: he won. in this case i have to say i respect the effort that he made to bring these leaders together. and you know where i stand. i don t agree with the majority of policies that the administration has. brian: you liberal democrat. exactly. brian: meanwhile, yesterday, we sat down with candace woodowens and charlie kirk and talked to them about being ambushed by antifa. this sadly is becoming video we are seeing every week whether it s sarah huckabee sanders, whether it s kirstjen nielsen trying to have dinner with her husband. what s going on here, zach. we see this time and time again. this is an example where we need to be having thoughtful, careful, considerate conversations about difficult issues and why are not able to do that. brian: right. this is an example of the worst that we see when it comes to addressing political issues right now. brian: we are at a point where maybe candace and charlie would be engaged on debate on the street. that s what we would hope for. brian: water and eggs and whistle and bull horn harass them. have you two college professors right now and you know i have been in the free speech for a long time now. cornell west and robert george. robert george known conservative cornell west a leftist. they are going around the country and traveling and speaking about the most important issues and the value of listening and learning and higher education. brian: do you feel backlash when you listen and learn and don t attack back at republicans. i definitely feel backlash from my side of the aisle. brian: the book came out talks about that. exactly. brian: jim brown comes out and talking about the activist from the 60 s i stand for my country. kaepernick says i take a knee for my country. what does zach stand. i will stand. i will always stand. i understand the right of someone to make a different decision i believe it s protected by the first amendment. brian: zachr. wood. thanks for having me. we will do nothing cooperatively with ice if they do any criminal acts which a police force can do, we will take criminal action. brian: nine out of every 10 have criminal records. that s our proud governor of new york. he talks resistance to a whole new level when you are talking about resisting law enforcement. and, you met these identical twins on fox & friends. who are political opposites. they both just ran for office. the results are in. and they will join us next live. 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 live in the same area so i do not have to vote for her. steve: right. but i will say this. i will say that i am glad that there were a large number of individuals who came out and exercised their right to vote. steve: do you know what is amazing about you ladies. your story came out and we had you on a couple weeks ago talking about how you are political opposites you are from the same family and able to get along. i understand you told one of our producers yesterday that after had you begun speaking out about the red and the blue and the differences, families have come up to you and said, you know what? your message is so inspiring we are getting back together after hating each other s guts for a while. yes. that is so empowering. and we are so excited for that to happen. and if we can be that inspiration, then let s go for it. abby: why aren t we seeing that more. you mentioned bird. you are rare birds today. we don t see people from opposite ends of the political spectrum being able to sit down and have a civil conversation. what advice do you have to people today to be able to do that? you know, take this one and get out of your feelings. we are so involved in our emotions and how we feel that we re not thinking of the other person, that we re not thinking of the end results and goals. we need to be solution oriented and solution-based and not just all the knee-jerk reactions based on the emotions and feelings that we have towards one party or the other. the president or whatever the situation is. steve: we have got to look at your family and figure out what your parents did to raise two people who have different points of view but can get along around the dinner table. we have amazing parents and, you know, they used to make us do debates against each other. we had something called an encyclopedia back then and the almanac and things like that. if we had an issue with each other. mom and dad would say write it down, do your homework and then we would come back together but at the end of the day mom never let us fight. we would debate but we have to have a solution at the end of the day. abby: i love your message about the bird. the bird has a left wing and right wing. how often do we forget we are all in the same country. we are all fighting for the same thing. we all want at the end of the day to have our freedoms and to live in the best country in the world. how often we forget that. absolutely. i m sorry? abby: i say how often we forget that such a gee good reminder. it is. it is. and with shows like, this taking the positive high road approach, this is just what our country needs. steve: all right. abby: good luck. steve: jessica ann tyson the republican and the democrat. next stop november. thank you. thank you so much. abby: coming up on the show, a professor claims a journalist are just like soldiers. one veteran who has done both jobs is now outraged. he is live with us next. steve: he is the super bowl winning head coach. now tony dungy has a new game planned for kids. he is going to join us live in the next hour subaru forester holds its value better than any other vehicle in its class according to alg. better than cr-v. better than rav4. better than rogue. an adventure that starts with a subaru forester will always leave you smiling. get 0% percent apr financing on the 2018 subaru forester. are the most at risk for severe illness. help prevent this! talk to your doctor or pharmacist today about getting vaccinated against whooping cough. brian: the house special election in ohio still too close to call at this hour but we do have a leader. republican troy balderson and democrat danny o connor are separated by less than a point. steve: come out with a poll the top problem in the united states is immigration. democrats don t like the immigration crackdown. i will do nothing cooperatively with ice. i have said if they do any criminal acts we will take criminal action. chicago de ploying hundreds of police officers to combat rising gun violence. chicago mayor rahm emanuel blames gun violence and witnesses staying silence. we have evidence that bruce ohr was working hand in hand with christopher steele. there was over 60 different contacts made between bruce ohr and christopher steele trying to get dirt on this president. brian: some football players protest during the national anthem jim brown miss message. steve: i m not going to denigrate our flag i m going to stand for the national anthem who says you can t go home who says you can t go home. steve: well, bon jovi who lives across the river from us here in manhattan stinging about you can t go home. apparently he and his son have a new ro rosea line we got the email blast from sue leonard. abby: he should send us some and see if it s any good. brian: do you feel resentful to your dad for showing up and taking the spotlight away? abby: you are grateful for him because he gave you an opportunity. can you see it both ways. brian: i think they needs therapist to understand how great his dad is. abby: i need one too because i sit next to brian every day. brian: once in a while you do. abby: good morning. steve: that s right abby is in, ainsley is off. we start this hour with a fox news alert. the special election in ohio in the 12th district still too close to call at this hour. brian: right now president trump s pick is inches closer to victory results in four of the primaries also are coming. in. abby: griff jenkins is live to break it all down. don t pop the cork on the bottle bon jovi wine in ohio. the president is trying to give it to his candidate it is too close to call. republican troy baltdz and democrat danny o connor separated by less than a point. barltdz balderson leading by just over 1700 votes. america is on the right path and we re going to keep it going that way. we made our case for change. we re going to make that case tomorrow. we re not stopping now. ohio s secretary of state says there are still some 8,000 absentee ballots to be tallied. the election board began counting those. to kansas we go and the republican primary for governor also too close to call. president trump s pick of secretary of state kris kobach with a razor then lead over jeff collier that would be a major primary upset. over in michigan congratulations to bill schuette who won the g.o.p. primary for governor predicting a big win in november where schuette will face democrat state legislator gretchen whitmore. interesting to note he defended the sanders alexandria ocasio-cortez will face debbie stabenow. calling james the future star of the republican party and finally we end in the show me state. the president s last tweet of the night going to the attorney general who won there. congratulations to josh hawley on your big senate primary win in missouri. i look forward working with you toward a wig bin in november. we need you in washington. holly faces incumbent democrat claire mccass skill in november. that s one of the many hotly contested senate races. while it s hot in august it feels like we are already in november. brian: good job, griff. appreciate it we owe you a big favor for doing that because we didn t want to. steve: we owe him a favor for doing his job? brian: oh, sorry. what he said about josh hawley is good. he is the best opponent that the senator mccaskill has ever faced. for some reason she has had soft opponents over the years. she is going to be in for it. she tried to do i understand she tried to do an rv tour in a plane. abby: how did that work? brian: how do you touch people in a plane. steve: it was a little and they have been tagging her with that as well. he made the point out in kansas if the candidate out there, the secretary of state, if he is able to pull it through, at the last minute, kris kobach, that would be extraordinary because donald trump is the one who said at the 11th hour with mr. kobach in the back of the pack, in the polls, said he is my guy. and so if he were to win, that would be big. abby: everyone was watching the race in ohio in that 129 district. a big take away was democrat o connor 31 years old. not only new fresh face for the party. he had a different strategy than we have seen from other democrats in the country. steve: being republican. abby: not anti-trump candidate. he ran on the issues. he gave voters an insight into what he wanted. steve: he was very moderate. abby: he was. the interesting thing balderson it was a lot closer than it probably should have been. however it ends, if balderson pulls through in the end and gets to the finish line it will be because president trump went to ohio and campaigned for him it still matters to be a good candidate. you still have to be liked. i m not sure that he had that at the end of the day. steve: the thing though with 100% of the precincts reporting, the republican is slightly ahead. the big question is with those 3300 provisional ballots that they are going to be counting in the next day or two, who is more motivated to vote early? was it the democrats or was it the republicans? i mean, the president went in at the last moment. so maybe it was the democrats, which could turn that around. it s still too close to call. brian: a couple things also to think about, the democrats keep getting close. and they are pick up, i think karl rove did the math five points in every one of these races. the only one they won was that one district in pennsylvania. they are going to have a re-match in november. these same two guys. only have the job a couple months and go earn it again. the question is are these candidates going to be able to define themselves, aside from getting money and the fame and the proceeds from prestige from being on stage with president trump. separate themselves. george stephanopoulos said we were afraid of a refused wave so we went with bill clinton out everywhere. after a few months it became clear we were hurting the candidate. so we had to pull back. i m wondering now do these men and women have to earn it themselves? abby: yeah. what will the democratic party look like in the end? because right now you are seeing two different versions of that party. you are seeing alexandria ocasio-cortez and. brian: elizabeth warren. abby: and o connor. the guy in pennsylvania much more moderate version. what will the party in 2020 be? if they want to be successful i think the answer is pretty clear. see what they go with. a lot of them are talking about sanctuary cities, abolishing ice and immigration continues to be the top of voter s minds when they go to the polls. steve: it does indeed. a lot of people have been troubled by what looks like happened at the department of justice and the fbi. in spying on donald trump. john solomon over at the hill has apparently gotten some a look at some emails between christopher steele, he is the guy who put together the dossier that was unverified for the most part. and bruce ohr. a high ranking department of justice official. and the email show chris steele that guy right there. secretly funneled information to the fbi through that second man you just saw there, bruce over. the department of justice official even after steele was fired. even after it was clear he could not continue to funnel information to the fbi. he did. brian: here is an example of the text messages between them. steele andor are speaking. just want to check you are okay because sally yates was fired. still in the situation and able to help locally as discussed. locally meaning in britain? i m still here and able to help as discussed or came back with i will let you know if that changes. steele replied this. if you end up out though, i really need another bureau question mark contact point number for someone who is briefed. steve: right. the other thing, keep in mind. brian: what is that about? steve: there is bruce ohr. his wife nellior worked for fusion gps. they are the people who were spreading the disinformation. so, bruce ohr, nellior, they are married. still working with chris steele. mark meadows, the republican from the great state of north carolina says this is a big problem. bruce ohr, who was with the department of justice actually was working as a go between, between them and the fbi. now, what we re also seeing is we re not talking about one or two or three contacts. there was over 60 different contacts made between bruce ohr and christopher steele trying to get dirt and actually sell dirt on this president. and we also have text messages now that confirm that peter strzok actually worked with bruce ohr. so it s it s amazing that it has taken so long for this to come out. brian: the fbi and britain intelligence working together against a sitting president or president-elect? abby: to his point, why are we just hearing about this now? when you ride the president s tweets, there is a reason why he is so frustrated where we are. steve: sure. abby: what went on in the early days of the campaign. this is not the role of the justice department to do. steve: and the problem to your earlier question why are we just hearing about it now? because the department of justice and the fbi have been slow-rolling. this they have been stonewalling. just now congressional investigators are getting a look at these things. isn t this interesting? nellior, the wife, met with her husband and chris steele the day before operation crossfire hurricane was officially launched by the fbi. abby: steve, just a coincidence. brian: good news for chuck grassley. he can t get christopher steele to sit down with him. but he is getting the dialogue and the testimony of christopher steele, speaking in britain on a buzzfeed case so the buzzfeed lawyers are going to allow that testimony to be ferried over to grassley and see if he can get some questions answers. steve: it s a video deposition and going to answer a lot of questions. abby: what s your thoughts on that? friends@foxnews.com. go over to jillian for headlines. jillian: following headlines out of new jersey. a fox news alert. a manhunt underway right now after two officers are ambushed at a red light. a gunman firing as many as 25 rounds at the undercover detectives in an unmarked car in camden. incredibly, both officers are expected to survive. we will be live in camden with an update on the story at the both hour. make sure you stay tuned for that this most recent attack on cops comes hours after a fbi agent shot trying to arrest a murder suspect. is he expected to survive. mollie tibbets vanished in iowa three weeks ago. a friend posted this video the day before she disappeared showing the 20-year-old laughing and smiling. mollie s aunt sharing a video from 2016 when she spoke at a faith event. i got down and i prayed and i asked god to give meet strength to make it through it tell me what to do to help me out with whatever happened and to know what his plan was. in that moment i kind of knew that was god s way of showing the power of prayer was really something. jillian: the reward for information leading to mollie is over $300,000. today, a family will receive dog tags found with the remains of a fallen u.s. soldier sent from north korea. that sentimental item will be presented this morning to the soldier s sons. during that ceremony at the pentagon, we will also hear an update on the remains of the service members back home on american soil. lone survivor marcus luttrell is helping a man who saved his life. former navy seal putting out the call to save money for david bo ramsey. he led the seem team of green berets who pulled luttrell off a mountain in afghanistan. is he paralyzed after a horrific motorcycle crash in may. luttrell wants to help his family build a wheelchair accessible home. go fund me page has been set up online. to say donate can you head to fox friends@foxnews.com. steve: marcus luttrell is unbelievable. brian: said it s going to take 80,000 the. i saw that number unless it increased 36. abby: we will get that go fund me site on our site. steve: that guy was left to die. abby: is he a hero is he. steve: yes, it is former mayor admits to stealing taxpayer dollars. now he wants the public to bail him out. have you got hear this story. brian: one comparing journalists to service members. one veteran who has done both jobs wants to weigh in. he is outraged. he is here to respond next when you get worried i ll be a soldier 10 miles on every dollar they spend at thousands of hotels. all you have to do is pay with this at hotels.com/venture. 10 miles per dollar?

well, let s start with the obvious point. the vast majority of journalists didn t sign up to protect our nation and values. and this professor wasn t even talking about journalists who do put themselves in harm s way. he was talking about white house reporters who go to the press briefings and instead of asking questions, they pull out a soapbox and deliver sermons until sarah sanders shuts them down and head to twitter like personal diaries and make the stories about themselves. after that they want to go to the trump rallies and when they get heckled by the president s supporters they act like they are marching the bawttle of fallujah. abby: this is close to my heart. i have two brothers in the navy who have serving. they hate when i bring them up because that is who they are. they are so humbled. never lost on me, dave, what they do what they sacrifice every day allows me to do my job. it allow me to be in front of this camera right now and to speak my mind. they are the ones out there fighting for our freedoms. what can we learn? what can our industry today learn from our brave men and women who serve? you make a good point. a lot of us are very awkward talking about our service. many of us, myself included never saw themselves in the line of fire. never had to fire their weapon in combat. but we went to our jobs every day and we tried to do what we could do and we, the military are better placed an they found it. the difference being is a lot of these journalists out there right now. especially white house reporters who want to grandstand and make the stories all about themselves, they could take a lesson from that and you know, i write for a military satire site called did you feel blog. we thank for service all the time in self-deposit prix indicated manner so we don t get too self-inflated egos. that s the problem right now these journalists wanting to be thanked who go out and seek the self-adulation goes on sense of worth. abby: no by lines on the battlefield. they stand up for that flag so honorably. thank you for coming on. rahm emanuel using every excuse for the surge in violence across chicago. one former chicago officer says no more excuses. it is finally time for some action. you re going to hear from him just ahead. plus, football legend jim brown taking a stand for the national anthem saying you will never see him kneel. what the super bowl winning coach tony dungy think about that? we re going to ask him. we re going to ask him. there he he s up next. i believe brian kilmeade had one of them. brian: i had a 1969 one. the chassis cracked. thanks for bringing it up, steve. steve: never mind. finally two. that s how many teams are welcoming mayor cheerleaders this season. the rams and new orleans saints have preseason games tomorrow. stand by for that. brian: excellent. abby: thank you, steve. while some football players continue to kneel for the national anthem. one hall of famer making his message clear in a message to protesters. jim brown says i will never kneel and i will always respect the flag. i m not going to denigrate my flag. i m going it stand for the national anthem. i m fighting with awful my strength to make it a better country. but i don t think that s the issue because what is the top side? are you not going to stand up? this is our country, man, we work hard to make it better and that is my attitude. brian: here so-to-weigh in is tony dungy and he was kind enough to bring his wife laura dunningy. great to see both of you. thank you. nice to be here. brian: first time have you been on the couch together. it is the first time. brian: austin plays fair and maria finds courage. two books to send message to kids about values, right? we are excited about our books. they were released yesterday. and sports related stories that kids can relate to. they can see themselves in the story because the kids face challenges that they all face when they are playing the game of sports. steve: you know what, tony, these could become a best seller just if you sell to the kids at your house. [laughter] get each one of them to buy one we are good. brian: 10 kids. 10 kids. abby: such big hearts. i come from a family two of my sisters are adopted. it s a wonderful thing. i know that s a passion of yours. yes, it is a passion. abby: give us your thoughts, coach, on the anthem. we were just talking about the hall of famer and people speaking out right now. what do you make of what s going on? well, first of all, i know a lot of these outcome men and theyoungmen they are tra voice for people who don t have a voice. that s what the bible tells to us do. i respect that i respect jim brown s position. i think if i were still coaching what i would do is tell my players, let s come in and talk. tell me your issues. what you re upset about. give me some solutions. i will give you 10 minutes of my press conference every week so that can you get that voice. you want to be a voice, i will give you a platform. let s work together on this. maybe not use the three minutes before before the game during the national anthem. let s use a time where can you get your voice really heard and let people know what the issues are. brian: you don t hide from the issues. you know in america there are issues of social justice that need to be addressed. you know athletes have a lot of power and fame and should use it and so, tony, if you are you were a player and a coach. if you are a player, would you be standing if you are a coach, would you be standing? i would stand because i personally think that s the way to go. i know my dad was in the service. he was in the military. that s why he fought. that s why he enlisted in world war ii to give us the freedom of choice to do what we think is best. but what i would do is get with my fellow teammates and my fellow coaches what s going to be the best way, the most effective way to get this out? and that s where i think we haven t done a good job. the nfl and the players come together. let s talk about solutions and how can we get this out. but, one thing, brian, these guys are not unpatriotic. they are not standing against our country. they are standing against what s kneeling against what s wrong in the country. abby: what do you teach your kids about this? my kids understand the story and the situation. but they also are understanding that they have to have respect for the team and for what s being taught, you know there. steve: do you think jerry jones? dallas has the right approach if you are going to play for the cows you are going to stand with your toes on the line. he has the ability to run his team the way he wants to run it. if i m working for him toy v. to abide by his rules. steve: it s a job. it s a job. i understand it i personally wouldn t do it that way. if i everywhere the coach i would talk to my guys and say you have the freedom to do it but let s think about why. i understand that. brian: let s talk about two controversial subjects austin and maria. [laughter] in austin the theme is austin plays football one problem his team has lost six games in a row i guess in the end he quits and plays another sport? [laughter] not exactly. brian: have you him stick it out? he has wonderful coaches that walk alongside of him and support him. we happen to be the coaches by the way. we are the coaches and we are there to instill good values and just encourage them to do the right thing. and that s important. and many kids face those situations where they are not sure what to do. what s the best way to handle this situation? tone tone the teammate that says we can win by cheating. they can figure out if they are going to play by the rules. brian: maria wants to play soccer. she wants to play soccer but hesitant because it s a new sport. not sure if this is the game for her. but with the encouragement of her coaches, again, she is out there and she plays and does well. brian: brand new book series came out this week. congratulations to both of you. thank you. brian: if you want the opportunity to be in the next book what do you. contest to severe your chilto enter yourchild. you can be a character. brian: who wouldn t want to be a character. brian: when the season starts you don t see him again he will be on the road broadcasting with nbc. thank you. ainsley: two police detectives ambushed now a massive manhunt is underway. we are live on the ground there that s next. steve: this gives a whole new meaning to taking a plunge. a coast guard s wedding day turns into a rescue mission. details straight ahead catch me if you can i m going down in a blaze of glory going to last from wash to. .wear for up to 12 weeks. unstopables by downy. too hot to work? nah. this is the gator xuv835. with game-changing heat and air, it s never too anything for anything. last year was a bad year across the nation. already just one shy of an officer being killed to tie last year s awful year. so, this year is getting even worse. fortunately, these two detectives are going to survive. they were just both shot in the arm and hand. man and woman. undercover cops. undercover car. and a guy at a red light just starts blasting at them through their windshield. the police chief held a news conference after this happened at 8:30 on national night out while cops in camden four different locations trying to build community trust, this happens. they were essentially ambushed. a male walked up and began opening fire. our officers have non life-threatening injuries. but not for the grace of god to be quite frank. the amount of rounds fired at close range. and so, they got a good look at this white van. and they also got some good shots at it they think it has bullet holes in it. it came back as a registration in a philly suburb. put the bulletin out for philly police to be on the lookout for it may have clipped one of the guys. may be blood in the van once they find it dumped somewhere. also an alert out for the hospital. this should tell every law enforcement officer what they already know that they are targets in this day and age. guys? steve: steve kealy live in camden. was this random or targeted since they were in an unmarked car. do we know. they won t foe for sure when they catch this guy. often when you are under i don t cover under cover buy or busted somebody before, chances are you are recognized especially in a smaller city like camden. thought they were a couple on the street and road wage case. for some reason the cops think this shooter knew they were cops by what happened here. abby: steve kealy thanks for that live report. brian: as you know jillian you are from philadelphia do you know steve. jillian: i do know steve. abby: is he fun. jillian: he is fun. brian: do you have a rivalry because i m sensing something. jillian: no. we are all philly people. get you caught up on news right now. starting in chicago. because chicago de ploying 600 police officers to combat rising gun violence. former chicago police officer dmitry roberts joined us earlier saying it s not enough. that s not resources. that s not enough people and that s not going to curb the violence in chicago. it never has and it s not going to this time. that s an 11th hour response and that response is just not good enough at this point. jillian: at least 12 people were killed and 70 injured in shootings in chicago over the weekend. chicago mayor rahm emanuel blames gang violence and witnesses staying silent within those communities. the governor of new york is once again threatening ice and refusing to work with them. i will do nothing cooperatively with ice. that they do any criminal acts, which a police force can do, we will take criminal action. democrat andrew cuomo also says he thinks ice s actions are, quote, politically motivated by president trump. an off duty coast guardsman saves a man s life on his wedding day. take a look. the groom was taking photos on a beach in alabama. when someone alerted the couple about a struggling swimmer. zac edward s new wife mead told him to jump in the water. went to take off his bottoms. you don t have time. the guy was drifting farther and farther out. don t worry about your pants. just go. you have to listen to your wife because otherwise you are in trouble. jillian: new mrs. edwards says she got a package deal a hubby and a hero. that s great. herd of cows steer police to a suspect on the run. if you see the large grouch cows there, they are literally following her and chasing her. jillian: the udd early awesome video show the cows corralling the woman after she jumped out of the stolen car and ran into pasture. the police moooving onto the woman if you will. arresting her and two others. i love adding cheesy lines into funny videos. abby: you are really good at it too, jillian. jillian: and be dramatic with it. brian: coming up later the farm report with jillian. let s see if she can adjust. abby: out to janice that lightning and thunder last night was unbelievable in new york. janice: it was crazy. unfortunately we had injuries. the national weather service always says when thunder roars, stay indoors. that s a smart phrase. hi, what s your name?

steve: all right, jillian, thank you. nengs guest immigrated to new york from gu guyana. he waited for his have as so-to-come. the hard decisions they had to make including leaving a sick child behind and the hours of studying that they had to do to pass the naturalization test. in a new op-ed he explains why that experience shows him president trump is right on immigration. writing, quote. today, if somebody hops the u.s. border and gives birth to a child that child gets the exact same benefit that took my child 8 years to achieve. that s a huge flaw in our immigration system. the author of that op-ed joins us right now, neil gouveia is a higher education fundraiser and he joins us live in new york. neil, good morning to you. thank you. thank you for having me here. steve: what a story you have got. when you were a child your parents decided we are going to take a risk and go to the united states they had nothing but did it anyway. absolutely. america is a land of opportunities and this is a place where we could create our own destiny. definitely worth it. steve: when they came here from guyana, they decided rather than just melt into the landscape, and hide, we re going to do it the right way? absolutely. you follow the rules there was no skipping the line. there was a lot of patience. and so we just had to really pick our time and let things unfold. steve: why did they decide we are going to follow the rules? we re going to sign the guest book? we re going to wait it out? that was the only option. we wanted to be productive members of society. we came to assimilate. i want great. we wanted to be members of the american culture. steve: in the beginning it was tough. i think i read that your father died when you were 9 years old. he was a cleaner and he sold fruit and he lived a tough life. but it was all to get you kids ahead. it was actually my little sister eventually passed away who we had to leave behind. she initially wasn t able to come to the united states because there is a strict physical you have to go through to come to the united states. so initially she didn t make it, so we had to make that journey to bring her back the legal way, you know, taking the proper steps. once she was here in the united states she eventually passed away. still a journey we had to take. steve: tell us why you feel as an immigrant who did it the right way the president is right on immigration? well, it s really important to enforce that this is a country of rule and laws. and we have to let people know that, you know, these rules were set up so they could be followed. we people like me and my family, we took we took the long way but we had to be really patient about it. but, this is the way to do it. there is no other way. if you want to be productive members of society in this country, you have to just follow the guidelines. steve: you live in new york city. and you have a conservative point of view. where did that come from? well, this all happened in 2016 when i just started like thinking for myself. looking through a different outlook. meeting a lot of the conservatives. i realized conservatives aren t out to get me. they don t want certain ideologies forced upon them. so through dialogue and exchange i realized i actually have a lot in common with this group of people. steve: sure. the u.s. congress had a chance to do something in the past year on immigration reform. obviously, you want more people to come to the united states legally. but, right now, the system is screwed up. absolutely. i think what president trump is suggesting is actually these are things already practiced in australia and canada. merit-based immigration system where you invite people over t who want to embrace our ways of life, our values, which are very important in addition to having skills that fit the society. steve: you are proud to be an american, can i tell. absolutely, hard core. steve: it s great to meet your acquaintance neil gouveia thank you for joining us live. thank you so much. steve: straight ahead on this wednesday, alexandria ocasio-cortez doesn t always have her facts straight. unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs: we re going to flip this seat red in november. we gave the military a 700 billion-dollar budget increase which they didn t even ask for. steve: well, if you thought that was inaccurate. wait until you hear what she just said about the middle class. plus, it s mega morning deals back-to-school edition. deals on back sets, book sets and so much more. good morning, meghan my momma told me you better shop around for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn?

[buzzer] brian: thank you very much. by the way they start with color bars. they fill up that whole thing. steve: what does that mean? brian: color bars we start with the three-hour show. little by little. steve: we have color bars on the switcher. technical director push the button for a second. that is what they look like. brian: when they walk in, that is what they have. they fill it up with stuff. steve: figure out how to start the day. abby: they dive to be called out. they are wonderful at their jobs. steve: we thank you they have very much. 8:02 fox news alert. abby: we call it winning wednesday. fox news alert. all eyes on this. the house special election in ohio. it is still too close to call at this very hour. steve: president trump s pick, that man there, he appeared with him in ohio is inching closer to victory. results in four other state primaries we have for you. brian: our producers paid griff jenkins to update us what happened last night. hey, griff. reporter: no winner in ohio, twice. it i too close to call. republican troy balderson and democrat danny o connor are separated by one point. balderson leading by 1700 votes. america is on the right path and what going to keep it going that way. we made our case for change. we ll make that case tomorrow. we re not stopping now. reporter: 8,000 provincial and absentee ballots yet to be counted. they begin to count those august 18th. grab toto. republican primary for governor too close to call. kris kobach with a razor thin lead against incumbent governor, jeff koller. that would be a major upset. president trump tweeting congratulations to bill shuete. president trump predicting a big win for him in november and returning of car companies. and john james who the president calls a future star of the republican party, will face democratic incumbent debbie stabenow. in the show-me state, the president s last tweet of the night, congratulations to josh hawley on your big senate primary win. i look forward to working with you on a big win in november. we need you in washington. hawley faces democrat claire mccaskill in november. one of the most contested democratic races. will the wave be red or blue? anybody s guess? 14 primaries until november. steve: 100% precincts reported in the 12th district of ohio. it is coming down to the provisional ballots. the big question who was able to motivate people to do early voting, would it be danny o connor, the democrat or troy balderson who leads by just a little bit as you can see right there. abby: this should not have even been a close race. you look at that district. since 1940 one time it has gone blue. this is reminder i think, brian, should set off alarm bells, even if he pulls through the finish line, you can t just have the trump name next to you. you have to be a good candidate. someone that connects with the people. brian: the trump name saved him. but in most cases these candidates will have to run hard. there is no lay-ups in this election cycle. seems as though the republicans are running about five point deficit everywhere. democrats almost won in georgia. almost won in montana. almost won in south carolina. money came in and seats were saved. they lost the pennsylvania 12th district. almost won this one. but in the end will not get them majority. they have to pull out victories. not get close. steve: strategy in this particular 12th district of ohio, danny o connor ran as moderate. did not demonize trump voters. the republicans were trying to demonize nancy pelosi. danny o connor, if you win, would you vote for nancy pelosi to be speaker? and he kind of waffled on it for a little while. eventually said i will support whoever leadership is. they were trying to nationalize her with him. an right now he is losing by a little bit but still 3300 ballots to be counted. brian: nobody thinks he ran as liberal or socialist. alexandria ocasio-cortez believes she won the district in new york because she is a socialist and a liberal. no one really wanted her in that district because he had to pose himself as a moderate. makes you wonder if her message is resonating. she is getting a lot of fame. we re hearing a lot more about her. abby: she has ideas about saving america. here is what she said recently. a lot of folks in the political heyday in third way 90 politics and they were campaigning and really kind of, connected most to an electorate fighting for these seats. when they got the seats when we had more of american middle class. i think that politically, this like upper middle class is probably more moderate but that upper middle class doesn t exist anymore in america. steve: that is the problem. keep in mind, she in the past said look the reason unemployment is so low because people have two or three jobs and working 70 or 80 hours per week which a number of fact finders found as pants on fire lie. when you look what she said the upper middle class is gone, look at this 1979, it was 12.9%. if we put up the graphic. today the middle class has grown, more than double from that many years ago. brian: went out of the way to put down democrats. joe manchin in tough fight. democrats in their states. we need better champions for the works class. thanks, appreciate it. if you re a democrat, wow. i lost my fastball. time has passed me by, i m not good for the working class. thanks for being in the corner. abby: there are two democratic parties we re seeing. ocasio cortez, elizabeth warren. cory booker is there wants to run in 2020. feels only way to get through the primary process to appeal to the far left-wing voter. if you want to win the general election is that the right strategy. o connor 31-year-old in ohio, his strategy was running to the middle. there is big middle in the country often gets missed, if democrats go all the way to the left good luck. brian: they have to get off the stage. donald trump got off the stage at number one. they have 20 people going for this. how do you get off the stage, maybe the most different, radical thing possible? steve: we ll talk more about politics with pete hegseth in the next segment. we want to tell you what a management professor at notre dame, joseph holt wrote. he did an op-ed. he said this. we thank soldiers for their service they devote themselves to protecting freedoms and we should. we should thank the media for the same reason especially when the stakes have never been higher. abby: that is causing a lot of people to scratch their heads this morning. a lot of folks in the media an journalists it is not always safe and doing a very important job for this country, but when you compare the two, i spoke earlier this morning, two brothers in the navy serving, he if i sit down at dinner table say my job is the same as yours, i can t imagine doing that. they would be retech re respectful. they allow us to do our job, allow us to sit on the couch. dave brooks on the show last hour. he was former marine vet. he is now at the daily caller. he has worn both shoes in his life. here is what he said about the comparison. professor wasn t even talking about journalists who do put themselves in harm s way. he was talking about white house reporters who go to the press briefings, instead of asking questions, they pull out a soapbox and deliver sermons until sarah sanders shuts them down. they head to twitter like personal diaries make stories about themselves. after that they want to go by the trump rallies get heckled by president s supporters act like they re in the battle of fallujah. that does a disservice for those that signed up to protect the nation. steve: facebook and tweet us because we read it all day long. abby: there is no byline on the battlefield. you don t know the names often times of men and women. it is not about them ever. brian: i know jillian s name. jillian. jillian: good morning. abby: that was really good toss. jillian: how are you? brian: good. jillian: we continue to follow the story of mollie tibbetts. it has been exactly three weeks since mollie tibbetts vanished iowa. a friend posting this video from the day before she disappeared showing the 20-year-old laughing and smiling. mollie s aunt sharing a video from 2016 when she spoke at a event. faith event. i prayed god give me the strength to make me through it. tell me what to do. help me out with whatever happened. in that moment i kind of feel god was showing me power of prayer was something. jillian: reward for information leading to mollie is over $300,000. big move to bring home an american pastor held in turkey. fox news confirms a turkish delegation is meeting with state department officials in washington to discuss ongoing tensions, including sanctions, punishing turkey for holding andrew brunson. he is accused supporting a coup in turkey in 2016 brunson denies the accusations. tension in the paul manafort trial is rising, the prosecutor so frustrated with judge that he tiered up. rick gates will be on the stand. he acknowledged having an affair. he admitted embezzling money from manafort his former business partner. he pleaded not guilty. hilarious first day of school picture going viral. take a look, that is sergeant nathan kendrick with a spider-man lunch box and pretty embarrassed look on his face. maybe just shy. the shelby county sheriff s office sharing photo on kendrick s first day on the job as a school resource officer. isn t that great? steve: spider-man lunch box with writing on it? brian: do they make therm most with glass inside jell jill i have one with metal inside. brian: now you have to worry that they will smash it and drinking glass. don t drop those because they have a glass thermos. abby: brian, we want live in a what-if world. tony dungy is taking a stand for the flag. one florida restaurant is taking a stand of their own. they are joining us live next. steve: what does pete hegseth think of the results from the primary elections last night? come on up, pete. you re next on fox & friends . a scratch so small you coulda fixed it with a pen. maybe you should take that pen and use it to sign up with a different insurance company. for drivers with accident forgiveness liberty mutual won t raise their rates because of their first accident. liberty mutual insurance. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty a hotel can make or break a trip. and at expedia, we don t think you should be rushed into booking one. that s why we created expedia s add-on advantage. now after booking your flight, you unlock discounts on select hotels right until the day you leave. add-on advantage. discounted hotel rates when you add on to your trip. only when you book with expedia. 1700 vote margin. over 3,000 provisional ballots outstanding. 5000 outstanding absent tee ballots. question who cuts for. there was energy for early voting. hope on danny o connor. if you have 1hundred point lead with 100% of votes in be usually that holds. it was a victory for balderson, moral victories are thin for democrats. democrats are trying to claim a moral victory here. ultimately what matters who wins. they re pointing to conor lamb. that is type of pennsylvania wins in pennsylvania. that is greater upset. that was r plus 21 district. steve: conor lamb ran as republican even though he is democrat. as well as danny o connor. steve: lightning round in my home state of kansas. kris kobach, the secretary of state, is leading by a little bit. what is extraordinary he was trailing until the president endorsed him. that s right. 500 votes separates them right now. they re waiting for johnson county, most poplous county. republican county. a lot of independents. new voting machines in johnson county. they are supposed to come in a few minutes. hoping to have them for the next segment. kobach hoping to squeak it out. steve: senate great state of michigan, kid rock-backed iraq war vet john james won. the president also endorsed him. that is the final right there. he beat mr. mr.pensler handily. separated himself with a great resume and campaign. debbie stabenow, won the seat in 2012 by 20 points. she has been a popular representative there. trump won narrowly. there is hope to be a pick up. real clear politics says likely dem seat. we ll see. steve: since she won the fourth district here in new york state, alexandria ocasio-cortez, thank you very much, she has been the darling, been on a lot of television shows, the darling of the political left. doesn t look like she had a good night. steve: she hit the midwest wall and lost, lost. she lost by 20 points in the governor s race. her other candidate was fourth out of five in the primary. in missouri lost by 20 points. turns out socialism doesn t sell. bad night for cortez six weeks after the becoming darling of democrats. steve: bad night for socialism. midwest came through. appreciate it. steve: pete hegseth, senior political analyst. straight ahead a teenager kicks out of class wearing an nra t-shirt. this morning her family firing back. the nfl is off the menu at one florida restaurant. the owners are taking a stand for the flag. they will join us live next. when my hot water heater failed, she was pregnant, in-laws were coming, a little bit of water, it really- it rocked our world. i had no idea the amount of damage that water could do. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you?

flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don t. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist. a parking lot outside of ford headquarters. right here i have the very first ford mustang ever sold. gail weiss, bought it on april april 15th, 1964. you kept it ever since. back then did you think the car and you would be a celebrity 54 years later? no, i didn t. i m surprised and happy this happened. never sold it yet. ever think you will? no, not yet. mustang fans are loyal. i know another one not interested in selling his car. sean owns the very car used in the steve mcqueen film, bullitt. he owned it since the 1970s. no one knew it existed until couple months ago. this car is worth millions of dollars. worth more to you than that? absolutely. used to be a family car. she is part of the family. so world tour. it has been amazing. to be back home. this is pretty awesome. american icon. 10 millionth coming off the line. you will not be able to buy it. ford will hang on to it for a while. figure out what to do with it, put it in a museum or auction block, you probably pay a pretty big premium. if you want to pick it up. abby: one of the america s favorite. you used to own a mustang. brian: it was faster than the tesla-made rocket. football players still kneeling for the national anthem. we earlier talked to super bowl winning coach tony dungy. he tells us how he exactly feels about that. i would personally stand, i feel that is the way to go. my dad was in the service, in the military, why he enlisted in world war ii, to give us freedom of choice to do what we think is best. brian: he would give ten minutes of my press conference every day, for the players to speak up what is wrong with society. let s switch gears, keep on the same topic. a florida eatery feeling the same way as coach dungy, taking a stand for the flag, canceling the nfl-tv package, offering veterans a 40% discount. they are the owners of beef o brady s in brooksville, florida. i understand the nfl package costs 5000 bucks. if there is local game you put the game on. why are you canceling the package, janet. we felt this year we didn t want to spend money on that program because we do disagree with how, you know, the protesting is being done. and we just decided we would rather put our money towards our veterans which we have many in the area. and that is just the way we decided to go. brian: curtis, been a couple years now, third year, since colin kaepernick didn t play year before. he took a knee. why now? last year is really ramped up, after week one we saw it was going to continue, we tried to cancel our subscription last year and they didn t allow us to. so we went forward with it last year but decided if they didn t change their stance, if the nfl didn t make a difference in the way everything was being handled, that this year we would do what we re doing. brian: curtis, are you hopeful in may when they said okay, everyone will stand, if you re not going to stand, go to the locker room. being they haven t made a stance, you re out? hopeful. but you know what? i don t believe what the ultimatum they gave the players was necessarily the right way. i think they ought to give the players a platform to bring their issues out but it doesn t need to be during the national anthem. brian: what is, what has been some of your customers reaction, janet? we had calls from all across the country thanking us. we had a lot of local ones said they were thanking us, saying they would be in every sunday and throughout the week. it has been 99% positive. and it has been very touching actually they re calling to thank us when we re just trying to respect and thank them for what they do and allow us to live in the greatest country on earth. brian: 40% off food sundays for those in the military. on the counterargument, what about social injustice in this country? the complaint is that law enforcement unjustly, up justly applies the law to minorities in our country. that is why they re taking a knee or taking a seat. what is your reaction to that? like i said, i believe they have a valid point. i just feel, personally that they re doing it at the wrong time. i believe it is the nfl leadership that needs to get with the players association and come up with an appropriate time for them to bring their message forward. they need to bring the message forward. we need to make advances in this country every way they can. if they do that, come up with agreement, give them airtime, advertisement time, five minutes each game. they could fit in their spots to put their issues out there and that would be great. brian: meantime beef o brady s in brooksville, florida, will not showing the games unless it is local and free. curtis, janet, thanks so much. thank you. brian: straight ahead, how did president trump come to power. rosie o donnell knows. i think largely because of the celebrity apprentice. i blame mark burnett for creating a false narrative about this man. nobody treated him with respect or dignity until this show came on. brian: finally put the blame where it belongs with reality show creator. more insults from rosie o donnell. rosy the resistor, next. number is startling. hundreds of thousands of foreigners overstating their visit to america. mark steyn is a foreigner himself. he is from canada. did i say that right? next. we protected your money then and we re dedicated to helping protect it today. like alerting you to certain card activity we find suspicious. if it s not your purchase, we ll help you resolve it. it s a new day at wells fargo. but it s a lot like our first day. so you can get the best deal on the right hotel for you. dates, deals, done! tripadvisor. visit tripadvisor.com he will do something here with a garbage can and, and, he put the garbage can behind abby: this is shot of the morning. this happens in minor league baseball. steve: brian didn t like the call, went into the dugout, got a garbage can, you know what, the ref, the ump is a garbage can. brian: after the one-game suspension for those antics he had to do a msa on keeping the stadium clean. there he is in the psa. steve: joining us right now live, mark steyn, author, columnist, radio guys. brian: go over the game first off. do you feel as though he made the right move? i preferred the one with wite putine. monday morning? steve: tried to catch the ball in the big vat. chilly cheese fries. with the putine, janice, lady from ottawa will know this, i m in favor of canadians coming in and spreading putine all over america. steve: according to brand new statistic by department of homeland security more than 600,000 foreign nationals overstayed their visa last year. 40% of them of the 11 million in the country illegally overstayed. the top over stayers, mark steyn, canada, mexico, venezuela, united kingdom and then, you have got colombia. brian: why don t you people take it seriously? there is no reason to. what is interesting to me, if you look at visa applications of the 9/11 guys when they came out after 9/11 steve: and overstayed. they had addresses in the united states, said holiday in, america. i remember listening to a radio station in london, somebody asking about the difficulty getting into america. the guy says put a mid-market hotel chain. holiday inn, comfort inn, everyone thinks that is reasonable. the 9/11 guys put that into action a month later. still nothing has been changed. americans shuffle shoeless like a craven cowed people if they want to fly from chicago to boston for thanks giving. brian: it s true. meanwhile millions and millions of people around the planet know you can game the system by ignoring it. by the way i agree with neil from guyana or british guyana we old school imperialists think of it, when he was talking about his poor sister, that is what happens if you actually go by the rules. steve: she could not come into the country because she had cerebral palsy. you can t come in if you re going to be a drag on the system. if you re going to be a cost on the public purse. meanwhile, in california the entire hospital system has been overwhelmed by people who don t do what neil s parents do, who say, to hell with the whole system. brian: a lot of cases they go right from the streets to the hospital. they get sick. they re not paying taxes. basically california emergency rooms are the mexican health care system. it is ridiculous. abby: people come here the right way, some of those folks are the most outraged. they say we waited in line. we did this right way. we came because we wanted to be here. these numbers highlight. of course they don t want to leave. this we re bifurcating into a society where there are people who live by the rules and they re, as the shoeless thing emphasizes, they re put upon more and more each day. then there are people who just ignore the rules. in new jersey a year or two back, a world war ii veteran with his wife visiting family here. the wife gets sick, goes into new jersey hospital. they have been married for 70 years. sew he stays with her and she dies in the hospital. he is a royal air force veteran. he flies back. he is told he can never visit his family in america again because he over stayed his visa by one day. if you follow the rules, your life is wrecked. millions ignore them. brian: canada is feeling pressure. we re cracking down. you guys have people stream to the canadian border. which this, just tin trudeau, the week of president trump s inauguration when he introduced the so-called muslim, so-called travel ban, he did this virtue signaling, we welcome, everyone. the planet took justin up at his word and have overwhelmed the montreal olympic system where you know, caitlyn jenner became the first woman to win the decathalon in 1976 or whatever it was, and steve: bruce jenner. bruce jenner back then. brian: when he was a man. won the decathalon, that olympic stadium is now basically a refugee center, for refugees who overwhelmed the system. brian: created in 1976, you are hosting tucker tonight. you have an option to use the video. this is the individual very. the putine one. brian: whoa. steve: what do you like so much about it? he was so far away or spills food or just takes a header? as una simulated foreigner, i find it much easier to play american sports, not on grass, not on artificial turf, but putine. i think is gives much better grip. that s why we do jobs americans won t do. guest-hosting for tucker. brian: you can not get an american. like seasonal agricultural libor, guest-hosting for tucker carlson. abby: how do you prepare to host? brian knows i guess. holding a quizzical expression for 58 minutes. when you re interviewing, i had no idea. you guys have different camera angles. they hold on tucker with the quizzical expression. steve: there is no cutaway on tucker carlson. he can do that. if you ever seen his one-man show on stage, he walks out in radio city and holds that expression for hour 1/2. brian: shows that every night. abby: mark, we will see you tonight at 8:00 p.m. brian: hope tucker doesn t see this. last time you will fill in. he is insecure like that. brian: you don t have jillian mele doing that. jillian: i can do that now. is that a fair compromise? we re continuing to follow the story out of new jersey. start with a fox news alert. a manhunt is underway after two officers are shot at a red light. they were essentially ambushed. a male walked up and began opening fire. our officers have non-life-threatening injuries but not for the grace of god to be quite frank. with the amount of rounds fired at close range. jillian: a gunman firing as many as 25 rounds at the under cover detectives in unmarked car in camden. incredibly both officers are expected to survive. anti-trump comedienne rosie o donnell still can not understand why president trump was elected to lead our nation. why do you think americans voted for him? i think largely because of the celebrity apprentice. i blame mark burnett creating a false narrative. nobody treated him with respect or dignity until the show came on. abby: the come med yen has been feuding with president trump for years. she led a musical protest at white house on monday. high school student kicked out of class for wearing an nra shirt. their mother says the teacher was way out of line. he is there to teach. i don t think he is there to teach his personal beliefs. jillian: the two sophomores were singled out and given a lecture why guns were bad. the school said the shirt did not violate the dress code policy. unsure if the teacher will face consequences. woman applying for new job on the lunch break gets busted. a local news crew was reporting on a job fair, put the woman on tv without realizing it. once someone told her what happened. she took matters, posting a screen shot online. so i didn t want my current job to know i was looking for another job. thankfully her manager hasn t confronted her about it. that is a little awkward. steve: a little bit. abby: at least she still has the job. steve: for now. abby: thanks, jillian. brian: let steve do it. steve: new york may soon require employees to take bereavement for three months which would deliver a crushing blow to small business owners. coming up the best states to do business in. we ll give you the list. abby: mega morning dials here on fox & friends, back to school edition, backpacks, lunch boxes and supplies for 60% off and more. you don t want to miss this. capital one and hotels.com are giving venture cardholders 10 miles on every dollar they spend at thousands of hotels. brrrr! i have the chills. because of all those miles?

it is, yes. a combination of policy coming down from the states and culture of the state itself. my company street shares, funds a whole lot of businesses across the country, we love texas. one of our three biggest states there is business ethic, and ethos in texas that is a powerful thing. i hear that from everyone that lives in texas. my home state of utah. my dad was governor there a few years ago. the biggest priority was making the state attractive for outside businesses to come in. we want them to work and make their lives good. seems like it paid off. it has. silicon valley on the west coast. here in new york, it is silicon valley. this is the silicon slopes in utah. you have a couple of great things in utah. you have a young, educated workforce. second, you have these tax policies that encourage business to grow. abby: that is always a plus. so the last one we have i don t know if we have, georgia. georgia. abby: what about georgia? georgia comes down to costs. if you think about the costs of something like office space, right? here in manhattan it s through the roof, right? the average across the boroughs here in new york city, $6 plus per square foot of office space. downtown atlanta, a buck 74. abby: people are flocking to the states. you want to be where business is thriving. usually everything else is thriving. mark, thanks. thanks so much. abby: coming up on the show next, it is back-to-school season. we re here to save on shopping with megamorning deals. that is up next. check in with bill hemmer what is coming up at the top of the hour. a lot to go through after the results last night. what we might be headed in the trump era. that wasn t cool, was it?

night, as laura continues her vacation. i m turning it over to my favorite person at fox, shannon bream! she starts now. shannon? shannon: jason, we ll see you tomorrow night. thank you so much. we begin with the fox news alert. breaking tonight, the president s attorney sounding off in robert mueller, also, standing by, white house counsel donald mcgahn after this week s report saying that mcgahn has cooperated extensively with a special counsel investigation. and scorned former cia director john brennan mulls a lawsuit over his security clearance getting revoked on the president says, bring it on. also tonight come president trump honors immigration enforcement officials of the white house, calling out democratic leadership as open border extremists. senator david purdue was asked at that event and he joins us to talk about the abolishment i.c.e. movement and whether the senate really well work all the way through the august recess. we all speak exclusively to a former miss america as pageant leadership is under fire for manipulation and bullying. nearly two doesn t former miss americas want the whole board of directors to resign. hello, welcome to fox news @ night. i m shannon bream in washington. a new bombshell interview with reuters, the president said he would be totally involved to get involved in the mueller investigation but he s decided i did not do for now. you ve national correspondent ed henry leads off our coverage. good evening, add to. to see you. i just talked to a top advisor president trump who told me what is new about of dominic all of these developments, the president finally seems to be leaning against ever doing an interview with robert mueller. advisor telling me that after weeks of suggesting that he would like to sit with mueller he did nothing wrong, it is finally sinking into the president that his lawyers, rudy giuliani and jay sekulow have been saying that it would be a no win situation for him to go in with mueller and that is finally sinking in with the president. the president saying in a new interview if mueller finds conflict between what the president and former fbi director james comey, for example, say about the handling of the probe, retired general michael flynn, that could be a perjury trap. the president telling reuters, even if i m telling the truth, that makes me a liar, that is no good. that may be a more artful way of saying, the truth is of the truth. the phrase giuliani was lampooned for using yesterday on nbc s meet the press. while there are fresh reports in washington post in the new york times that giuliani and the rest of the president s legal team simply don t know what white house counsel donald mcgahn said when he spent 30 hours talking to mueller s investigators at the president s direction, which, we should add, giuliani pressed back in an interview with fox, telling martha maccallum that he has found out what mcgahn said and there was nothing, giuliani says, that infiltrated the president and collusion or obst. i knew not to worry about it. if the president said anything criminal to the council of the white house, mcgahn would not be there now. mcgahn, as a matter of legal ethics and law would have to quit. he s a very ethical guy, he s a very careful guy, i can t imagine sitting around the white house for six months with a president who he thinks committed a federal crime. he would be that will be outrageous. the president declined to say if he would strip for security clearance of mueller. shannon: he is thinking about stripping more security clearances. who else is at risk? he just tweeted in the last few moments that may be filled up, cnn analyst, former intel official, got into a fiery exchange a few nights ago on cnn about security clearances and whether or not former officials are product all my profiting from them. the president tweeting a few moments ago that maybe he should have his clearance script. left open the possibility that bruce ohr of the justice department could be stripped, this coming after john brennan last week was stripped of his A recap of the day s headlines and a look at what s in store for tomorrow. is there legal precedent for what he s doing over the security clearance and the specific situation? speak of the situation is unprecedented. no specific legal precedent on point with this kind of case but in a lot of president on point that says the president has a pretty broad authority to revoke or deny clearances, so he would be facing an uphill battle if you could even bring the claim successfully. it s unlikely he could do that. shannon: what are the odds of success? wii. the new york times that he will go for a defamation claim, personal claim. that wouldn t work because the president would be withholding immunity and his context of serving in the office of the presidency. all the president considers the possibilities, can always add a situation where a regular process was applied. it went through the executive order, pl rates were afforded to the national security exception was invoked. no one seems to accept or worried about it, it s not like you didn t know by the wall street journal and editorial bees said this: mr. trump had to waive executive privilege for mr. mcgahn to cooperate. he cooperated only after mr. trump waived any privilege claim. this isn t what you would expect of mr. trump if he was leading a cover up. they thought they could retroactively take it back. steve bannon you to talk about that, he could pull it back to privilege. can t do that once the card is in front of the horse. i messed that up. [laughs] shannon: we know what you are saying. once you answer questions, you ve waived the privilege and you are not going to say, wait, i can t answer that. the president gave him permission and said i wanted him to because i m nothing to hide. he relied on the prior guidance, we don t know what his original lawyers knew about the situation, they let donald mcgahn talk for 30 hours. even if he didn t say something incriminating, even if he didn t say the president exceeded his authority here, he gave bob mueller s team extensive factual context to go with all the other details they have, all the other documentation, all the emails, to provide a narrative, story of how these different choices were made and that is going to be relevant in the obstruction. shannon: that s the argument against forcing the president to sit down and testify. donald mcgahn has been with him for 30 hours, given him every possible scenario in fact he could provide, ascended to good for the president s legal team to say, you can get this information elsewhere, you have no reasons to talk to the president? the other piece of it is the president s realizing, what about what dawn mcgann said what if it s at odds with what my own white house counsel said? i think it is what is moving the president to take the advice to the lawyers, witches, don t go before the special prosecutor, that will be a train wreck. shannon: people connected dawn mcgann are saying they fully debrief the president s legal team at the time, they have talked to giuliani, they are saying he didn t say anything incriminating and there s nothing to worry about. would also be going to say? all the details are off, he s already provided 30 hours worth of testimony. as jamil was income all this information is here, if his statements and all those testimony conflicts with the president, that will be one more reason to not sit down because out as a mountain of evidence about whatever the president recalls in those details, that is where perjury becomes a problem. shannon: another legal issue, judge brett kavanaugh, the nominee for the supreme court, meeting with heavy hitters. met on the democratic side, dianne feinstein, also, these memos are coming up that will release by the national archives or when he worked in the bush white house when he worked with ken starr, about the questions that he was posing to then-president bill clinton. they were very graphic. some people are going after that. the fact is, will he cashiers i agree with jamil. this is politics at play. it s coming up before the election, this is a particular nominee who is going to almost certainly, if there s ever a subpoena fired, will have to address these questions of the scope of the special counsel s authority. considering the context of his original premise, points, 20 years ago, had to read as memos and wash my eyes out with soap, trying to remember what we were dealing with. a significant concern again make out misuse of authority and dominant. shannon: some are also saying that he will need to recuse himself. nobody can recuse adjusters but themselves. we ll see what happens. great to see you back soon. our other story it on my story some democrats want to abolish i.c.e. and president trump honors the top immigration a border agency with a special white house ceremony today. i guess they just don t mind crime. they don t mind going. it s pretty sad and i think we are going to have much more of a red wave than what you are going to say is a phony blue wave. blue wave means crime. it means open borders. not good not good for you to this past weekend, it wasn t just democrats going after i.c.e., though. media outlets went wild when they learned i.c.e. agents arrested an illegal immigrant from mexico who was onto the way to the hospital with s pregnant wife by the one detail the left outcome, the man is wanted for murder. mexican prosecutors asked for help in tracking him down. this afternoon, the acting deputy director of i.c.e. defended the arrest rates because this person was wanted for murder. a referral we got from interpol for a wanted person. we did surveillance to find out where they lived and when that individual left their home, we made a vehicle spot. none of the i.c.e. officers did anything wrong. what a lot of progressives are calling for i.c.e. to be abolished, many moderate democrats are worried that could backfire and hurt the party s chances of retaking the house in november. that is something the president and republicans agree on a small. shannon. shannon: garrett tenney, thank you very much for the president predicting that immigration will be the major issue separating the two parties in the november election. critics say he is using law enforcement officers for inappropriate political purpose purposes. georgia republican senator david purdue was at today s event and won the appraiser president trump. he joins us now. great to have become a senator. i want to play more for the president had to say. here s what he had to say about the folks who are saying don t cooperate with federal immigration and it s time to abolish i.c.e. just a small group that gets a lot of publicity. they have no courage, they have no guts, they just have big, loud mouths. we don t want to put up with that. i just want you to know that you are loved. shannon: as a breath and a playing politics? i don t think so. when you hear him talk privately, it s an impassioned president. you sighed publicly. the message judy was very we have your backs, we appreciate what you do. shannon: the washington post says they are reporting someone who was formerly an acting i.c.e. director, they rolled out the red carpet for i.c.e. when they are something to be set for morale because he admits that is helpful. but you are doing it in a way that the letter sizes are it will take years of work to perform the reputation. they could be tarnished forever as a to all of the far right. the democrats has taken such an extreme position, not in line for most americans view point. we have a candidate for attorney general in new york talking about putting suits up against i.c.e. shannon: when you say that, i want to play this so people will see for themselves. this is part of her video talking about it. as attorney general, i will continue to speak out against i.c.e., i will prosecute ice, their criminal acts, and as a candidate for ag, i feel it s really important to speak out to abolish i.c.e. i said that it is really an un-american position when i was asked that question. it seems to me that what we got a somebody like that on the people calling for the abolishment of i.c.e., they are more worried about the people who perpetrated the crimes against americans than they are protecting americans. that is potentially the top law enforcement person in new york talking about the rights of the criminal, not the rights of the victim. shannon: what you make about their localities where we have seen them protesting, not wanting to help i.c.e. come of the encampments, occupy i.c.e., setting up in places like portland, where people were very fearful about trying to get to and from work and do their jobs. the president knows that our $19.99 oil change also includes a tire rotation. book an appointment online. and back pain made it hard to sleep and get up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid, plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i m back. aleve pm for a better am. who would have guessed? an energy company helping cars emit less. making cars lighter, it s a good place to start, advanced oils for those hard-working parts. fuels that go further so drivers pump less. improving efficiency is what we do best. energy lives here. now i know you re thinking, i don t want to hear about insurance. cause let s be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right? this wi-fi is fast. i know! i know! i know! i know! when did brian move back in? brian s back? he doesn t get my room. he s only going to be here for like a week. like a month, tops. oh boy. wi-fi fast enough for the whole family is simple, easy, awesome. in many cultures, young men would stay with their families until their 40 s. shannon: this is a fox news alert. brand-new chilling revelation strengthen the case of a colorado man accused of killing his pregnant wife vent to our young daughters. an arrest affidavit released today says christopher watts was having an affair and that he claims his wife strangled their two daughters shortly after he asked for a separation. he told authorities that then sent him into a fit of rage and he strangled his wife. christopher watts was charged with nine felony counts including three first-degree murder charges. most americans to 90 growing nur miss americas are coming forward and support and calling for the resignation of the pageant s entire board of directors. trace gallagher is on the case. good evening. good evening. just a matter of weeks, this has gone from back channel to accusations and allegations being laid out in the national media. the tipping point likely came friday when the writing miss america, cara mund, wrote and released a five-page letter saying she had been bullied by pageant ceo regina hopper and chairwoman gretchen carlson, a former fox news anchor. cara mund wrote in point, our chair and ceo have systematically silenced me, reduced make him a marginalized me, and essentially erased me in my role as miss america and subtle and not-so-subtle ways on a daily basis. she goes on to claim that she s been left out of interviews, not invited to meetings, and called to the wrong name. last night, gretchen carlson hit back at cara mund on twitter, actions have consequences. friday as an organization we learned that $75,000 in scholarships, which would have been the first scholarship increase in years, is no longer on the table as a direct result of the explosive allegations in your letter. carlson did not explain exactly how the scholarship money was lost. before her tweet was fully absorbed in the social media bloodstream, a petition with 20,000 signatures, 27 state organizations, and 21 former miss americas were calling on carlson and ceo regina hopper to step down. three former miss americas also called out carlson today on nbc and abc. watch. speak of this person has taken no responsibility for the way she has treated our current miss america. for cara mund to write a five-page letter explaining through her year how she has been treated as appalling. we are not going to do the victim shaming. i m sure she didn t want that when she was part of the me too movement. i think that the sponsorships will return when they see that we are willing to do the right thing. referring to gretchen carlson s sexual harassment allegations against ben fox news chairman roger ailes. the miss america pageant has also released a statement saying it supports cara mund but says her letter contains mischaracterizations and unfounded accusations. shannon? shannon: trace gallagher, thank you very much. joining us exclusively, another former miss america who was adding her name for the call to the entire board to step down. miss america 2011 teresa scalnan joins us. welcome, teresa. i want to read more of cara mund s letter. she said the rhetoric about empowering women and openness and transparency is great. however the reality is quite different. she went on to talk about the controlled manipulated silence and bullying. what was your reaction when you saw this letter, that she went public, asking for other former miss americas health? first of all, i thought her letter incredibly brave because it s always difficult to speak up when people in power are involved in these situations that she knows full well of course that there may be some backlash or impact against the rating miss america. so her letter was really impressive to me. even now we see the statements at the miss america organization has issues. they are in many ways now blaming her and just saying that she should not have spoken up, which is exactly what she was talking about when she referenced being silenced constantly and it s hard to say that that is continuing. shannon: i want to read more about what gretchen carlson, formerly here of fox news, now chair of the miss america board, put on a lengthy twitter statement. i want to be clear that i have never bullied or silenced you. actions have consequences, we ve lost $75,000 in scholarships as a direct result of the explosive allegations in your letter. a lot of people have a visceral reaction, people feel like they are putting blame on her for speaking up and going public. that is what i thought when i saw that. i waited for some time to form my own opinions about this. we had a conference call with gretchen a couple days ago. she tried to answer questions that many former miss americas had and then released this statement had while i don t think that her intentions are bad i don t think she fully is understanding the impact of the things that she is saying and doing. she had initially said that cara should have come to her privately rather than writing a letter to all of us, and now she s doing the exact same thing. she wrote this letter to cara and then released it on twitter and which she is blaming cara for things and saying that she needs to support the pageant. in a way, silencing her in the exact way that cara explained. when i saw that, it really confirmed for me what is going on here and may made me realize i need to stand with cara. as many former miss americas are committed to supporting her in this, and the bravery to come forward, and the retribution she might be facing. on gretchen s side, i respect her as a person but i think as a leader right now, she needs to understand the responsibility she has for the impact that her actions and words have caused. that is very different that having good intentions because her intentions may be good by the impact is still there and what cara is feeling and she hasn t really accepted that and i see no true apologies, which is concerning to say the least. shannon: let me read you something about snarky firm , s brouhaha between the current miss america, whose name i admit i never knew, and the reigning executives, seems much ado about nothing. trying to turn a beauty pageant into a socially responsible feminist celebration of womankind always seems far-fetched to me. by trying to be all things to all women, miss america went from a relevant to irritating and less time than it takes to produce another pageant. full disclosure, from my time as miss virginia and a miss america finalist, the money allowed me to go to college with great debt. it s in a place of turmoil and transition. how do you respond to those that come of that program is not worthwhile for women anyway? similar to you i was very much the same. i won miss america when i was 17 years old and it was prior to college for me but i completed my undergrad debt free and i am now starting my first year of law school at uc berkeley. i also joined the air force, the air national guard and i believe that miss america empowered me to do all of those things, and i m doing it all while a single mom. i don t think that i would have ever had the same opportunities, been able to do what i have done in life that miss america. while we are not all things to all women, i believe that miss america is an incredibly vital part of our society for women right now, empowering them, giving them a voice, a platform, providing scholarship money, so many things that sure, an outsider might not be able to see but as someone who has been in the program forever, gears and had that direct firsthand experience, i know but it s not for my life and the life of thousands and millions of other women. shannon: is definitely by choice. it s competitive and selective. it s not for everyone, but women should have a choice, this is something we want to do. both of us having benefited greatly, i hope the program is able to mend these wounds in one way or another and come together and be a positive force for other young women. teresa scalnan, thank you very much. thank you for having me. shannon: when we return, the latest dustup over claims that social media is censoring conservative posts and video. dennis prager hosts the dennis prager radio show and their founder of prager u joins us live with this group next. s. psst! craig and sheila broke up. what, really? craig and shelia broke up!? no, craig!? what happened? i don t know. is she okay? craig and sheila broke up! craig and sheila!? as long as office gossip travels fast, you can count on geico saving folks money. craig and sheila broke up! what!? fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you ve had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i can t tell you how good it feels to have smoking behind me. talk to your doctor about chantix. shannon: knew tonight come a growing number of conservatives are complaining about alleged censorship on facebook. most recently, prager university, a nonprofit conservative educational site now calling out the social media giant for blocking recent videos and posts from reaching their more than 3 million followers. facebook says it has all been a mistake but prager says that is not the only social media platform that has tried to censor its conservative message. let s talk to the founder of prager u, dennis prager himself. great to have you here. i m delighted. shannon: i want to read some of these posts that you guys found out were going nowhere. you have 3 million followers. none of them were seeing them. 3 million followers and 1 billion views this year. shannon: auto means because they couldn t go anywhere. baseball represents the best of america. that sounds very treasonous. willing to be a hatemonger. shannon: hollywood can t deny their bias any longer, why do young people have such a warped concept of america, israel s right to exist it is clear, and your kid will respect you want to respect yourself. you found out these weren t going anywhere, and that some of your videos were taken down, too. that s right. this is the latest parade for us to begin with youtube, owned by google, and they put now dozens and dozens of our videos, we have about 340 in total, they put them on the restricted list, which means theoretically that it s either pornographic or violent. shannon: is it either? you read them. allender s rights as a lifelong liberal. it doesn t matter to them. if it the left doesn t like what you do, they censor it. the issue is tragically the left doesn t believe in free speech. that is why half of the students in college today, by the pew poll, they don t believe in free speech for hate speech, but they declare what is hate speech. we don t have one word of hate. we have a psychiatrist who gives a talk on a ucla psychologist and how to learn to forgive. we have a rabbi giving a talk on not gossiping prayed about as sweet a website as you can find. shannon: it sounds inflammatory. facebook statement, they said, we mistakenly remove these videos and have restored them because they don t break our standards. this will work for us in a reduction in content distribution you ve experienced. we are very sorry and are continuing to look into what happened with your page. okay. i m skeptical. they want to give the benefit of the doubt. if they can back to us and say, this is why it happened, we fire the guy who did it because we understand how bad what was done is come i ll be very impressed. i suspect no one will pay a price, shannon: at facebook. i suspect that there will be another mistake in the future. for the larger issue is, what is happening at the university is now hopping on the internet. suppression of all nonleft speech. if americans don t awaken to this, we will lose the unique thing of america, which is free speech. shannon: you talk about the poll numbers. we had some of those on talking about how people on college campuses don t think the first amendment should protect speech they find offensive, they should have a safe environment. i don t know if they are familiar with westborough bass baptist two won 8-1 of the supreme court. you have a lawsuit with facebook and google. you got it on appeal. part of the ruling was that the judge said, you can t have a first amendment case because this is not a government actor or state actor. it s private company. the best analogy i can give is, let s say delta or american are united announced, we won t allow anybody on who carries the wall street journal on board. well, they are a private company, they can make their own rules but everybody understands that when you are the conduit for millions and millions of people and there are only three major airlines, you are not just a private company who has a some idiosyncratic rule, and the same thing holds with these people. they controlled more information than anyone ever controlled in the history of mankind. that is a big deal. shannon: i know you say that, while it is personal for you, you are worried about the much broader implication. overwhelmingly, that s correct. shannon: how do you think your chances are on the ninth circuit? the judge in this case did not dismiss the case. she did not say, without prejudice. likewise, she said it was mere puffery that they claim they are open. that was a very big deal. she gave us leeway. i have said all along, if youtube, google, facebook, and twitter announced we are only receptive to left-wing views, i have an argument. it is the fraud that they claim to be opened that is so appalling. shannon: the twitter ceo said this weekend that it s about content it s not about content, it s about actions. oh, please. shannon: we ll let him speak for himself. dennis prager, glad you made it. up next, iran feels the effects of tough u.s. sanctions as france pulls the plug on an oil deal. the pope speaks out against the clergy abuse scandal. plus, reaction from the bishop of the diocese of pittsburgh. whatever step it will take to help curb this problem, it needs to done. if you have psoriasis, . little things can be a big deal. that s why there s otezla. otezla is not a cream. it s a pill that treats moderate to severe plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don t use if you re allergic to otezla . it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with. .an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts,. .or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you re pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you. agent beekman was one step ahead of them.dits stole the lockbox from the wells fargo stagecoach, because he hid his customers gold in a different box. and the bandits, well, they got rocks. we protected your money then and we re dedicated to helping protect it today. like alerting you to certain card activity we find suspicious. if it s not your purchase, we ll help you resolve it. it s a new day at wells fargo. but it s a lot like our first day. we re inspired by color, driven by clarity and dedicated to improving your view, no matter your vision. our prescription sunglasses are the most technologically advanced available, and are ten times more accurate than those produced by conventional labs. our polarizedplus2 technology enhances color and blocks harmful rays, while our digital processing allows for the widest possible field of vision. speak to your eye care professional and discover greater clarity with maui jim. the view s better from here. shannon: pope francis is condemning the climb of priestly sex abuse and is accusing the church of the feeling that children it was supposed to protect. the letter from the pope today comes amid new sex abuse scandals from the church in pennsylvania. correspondent bryan llenas takes it from here. showed no care for the little ones, we abandoned them, so rights pope francis in a three-page letter in response to last week s pennsylvania grand jury report alleging the sexual abuse of over 1,000 children by 301 priests over 70 years throughout the state. the leader of the catholic church admits the church has delayed implementing zero-tolerance policies, adding no effort must be spared to prevent the from happening agai again close, realizing the magnitude and the gravity of the damage done to so many lives. the pope goes on to beg for forgiveness, but while exceptionally contrite, the letter does not offer any specific reforms moving forward, nor does it hand down any punishments for the abusers. pennsylvania s attorney general josh shapiro called the pope s letter powerful and says he hopes it will convince church leaders to cease their denials and reflections. a pittsburgh priest says they have made drastic improvements and says they are pushing back against calls for his resignation. think of the church of pittsburgh today is different than the church of pittsburgh that s recounted in that report. i can say clearly, over the course of the last 30 years, we ve been a leader in implementing a number of reforms that were meant to protect children and to respond to victims. the bishop of washington, d.c., donald cardinal world, met with the council of priests just hours after the letters release. he s accused of protecting nearly 100 abusive priests during his 18 years and bishop in pittsburgh. he s no longer attending the meeting of families in ireland. he was supposed to give the keynote address in front of the pope. no explanation was given for his cancellation. shannon?

what a world. i am so happy. 300 south koreans from 89 families cross into the north to see their loved ones out of an estimated six to 700,000 people in south korea that have family there. they rare reunion comes after north korean kim jong un and south korean president moon jae-in agreed to it, the first of its kind in three years, following a u.s. pressure campaign. others see it as a p.r. stunt. i think it s not a coincidence. i think of the north korean government is trying to send a signal to the south korean government and to the international community that it is willing to engage, willing to behave in a different way. for years, north korea how used the meetings and bargaining chips but for those people, meeting levels after a lifetimes apart, . there still something left for my memory. relatives will spend three days of my country but only 11 supervised hours together. north korea does not want its people learning much about the outside world. these reunions may be positive gestures but they mean nothing without the firm commitment to denuclearization and that is with the u.s. wants. another summit is coming up between president moon and kim jong un, held in pyongyang in september, and everyone will be looking at that for concrete evidence that north korea is moving in the right direction. shannon: benjamin hall, thank you very much. tonight s midnight hero, a quick thinking group of samaritans. larry watkins, his mother, and her chihuahua, he had a foot surgery and his boot got stuck. mary and the pup were freed almost immediately biked as the men jumped in, they were attempting to lift him out through the water, the water pressure was causing the window to rise, all three of them made it out without injury. mary thanked the guys for being careful, noting my hair is still dry and i didn t even mess up my lipstick. i like mary. unlike the truck, though, later extracted by the long beach fire department, those heroes jumped right in and did not waste any time and major everyone was safe. most-watched, most trusted, most grateful you spend your evening with us. good night from washington. i m shannon bream. say no to this because of my bladder, not today thanks to tena intimates with proskin technology designed to absorb so fast, it helps to protect and maintain your skin s natural balance to get as close as you want all day, and now all night for a free sample visit tena.us if you have recurring constipation and belly pain, talk to your doctor and say yesss! to linzess. yesss! linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. linzess can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. see if you re eligible to get 90 days for as little as 30 dollars. do not give linzess to children less than 6 and it should not be given to children 6 to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it s severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain, and swelling. so say yesss! to help for recurring constipation. yesss! to help for belly pain. talk to your doctor and say yesss! linzess. now i know you re thinking, i don t want to hear about insurance. cause let s be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right? which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i m highly likable. i like dennis quaid. awww. and they want me to let you know that, cue overdramatic music, they re on a mission to make insurance painless. excuse me, you dropped this. they know it s confusing. i literally have no idea what i m getting, dennis quaid. that s why they re making it simple, man in cafe. and they know it s expensive. yeah. so they re making it affordable. thank you. you re welcome. that s a prop apple. now, you might not believe any of this since this is a television commercial, but that s why they re being so transparent. anyways. this is the end of the commercial where i walk off into a very dramatic sunset to reveal the new esurance tagline so that you ll remember it. esurance. it s surprisingly painless.
Laura Ingraham shines a spotlight on everyday Americans and examines how their lives are affected by politics at the federal, state and local level. when you were chair of the house oversight committee on who wrote the talking points, who were interested in the families might ve happened in new york, not to mention the trump organization and the trump foundation. we would have investigations in congress. congress is hapless right now. when you were chair of that committee, you investigated. i think you would be investigating right now. jason: you know what. you know why congress is hapless? this attorney general does nothing to provide documents that congress has issued subpoenas for. math, come on in here and give us your perspective. this attorney general is in name only. he i think he s one of the most feckless, ineffective attorney general s this country is ever had. jason, i understand where you re coming from. i am a big fan of jeff sessions but i feel it for the last year and a half it s been one of the most painful things to watch. the saddest thing is the president has amazing fortitude and pushing through his agenda, but there s two decisions that jeff sessions made that have really caused all of this drama over the course of the last year and a half. one, kicking rod rosenstein, someone who doesn t believe in the president and doesn t believe in his agenda is the number to manage justice. big mistake. personnel and policy. if he was going to recuse himself. if he was going to recuse himself from this investigation then turning it over to someone like rod rosenstein, you would ve immediately known that was going to be a mistake because rod rosenstein by his own voice said i m not really very partisan. i just want to help you run the agency. those two decisions are why jeff sessions is in the position he s in. jason, it s not fixable. there s nothing they can be done to fix the situation. we need someone running doj who can handle this situation and also have the confidence of the president. jason: david, do you believe rod rosenstein needs to recuse himself because his name is on the fisa document, which is the subject of the investigation? number two, do you believe that there should be a second special counsel? i believe there needs to be another investigation into what happened within the department of justice and the fbi. peter strzok, lisa page, all of what happened under james comey s watch, you know, how this investigation was dealt with differently than hillary clinton investigation, the double standard in the political nature within the fbi. you could say it but those are the facts. that s with the american people believe. they believe the mainstream media is biased against this president, because they are. just yesterday, 225 times msnbc and cnn talked about impeachment. it s outrageous on its face, where we have gone as a country. obstruction of justice and committing felonies are things that the congress should be looking into right now. jason: wade, chris. what is it that you think somebody swearing to it in court. no, no, no. jason: gentlemen, timeout. one at a time. i assume you re on the bandwagon that says we should impeach donald trump. yes, no? no. i believe in justice. jason: so you don t think i believe in getting to the truth, and if we get to a truth that says the president committed a felony, then we can talk about impeachment. until that time, we can t. i also say you can t have a partisan impeachment. it has to be a bipartisan thing. republicans democrats have to agree. jason, if i could if i could get i want to remind everybody. i want to remind everybody how this all got started. it all got started, even if you want to give officials let doj little bit of credit, it was all about finding come as fast as we could, whether or not there was collusion with putin s government. we are talking about the lifestyles of the rich and famous and we are talking about bad stories they can harm a reputation. it has nothing to do with collusion. it has nothing to do with russia. the american people are repulsed by all of this. jason: david, david. timeout. gentlemen. are you concerned that immunity is given to a member of the media? people will scoff at the national enquirer and say it s the national enquirer. you don t hear very often and that the department of justice grants immunity to a news organization. there are certain times, when you go and talk to your attorney, you get attorney-client privilege. when you talk to your doctor, you expect those medical records will be when you talk to a member of the media off the record, there is some sanctity there, isn t there? they go there absolutely should be. we don t know. it s all i have pathetic or what david pecker may or may not know. usually law enforcement get something in return for that immunity deal. if you look at sharon nelson samuelson. hillary clinton s lawyers. you remember this very well, that they got immunity in their deals and gave nothing in retur return. jason: five got immunity. the closest to hillary clinton and they got nothing out of it. well, well, i think we all want to know what is in david pecker s safe. it could be interesting to the american people. like geraldo. jason: gentlemen, thank you. i appreciate the spirit of the debate. chris, i want you to stick around. i want everybody else on this broadcast to stick around because this will shock you. a bombshell report put out by real clear investigations that says despite what james comey said, the fbi failed to look at the vast majority of the emails on anthony weiner s laptop. which had thousands of hillary clinton s state department emails on it. joining me now to explain further is the author of that report, investigative journalism real clear investigations.com paul sperry. thanks for being here. actually, the letter that went to congress explaining this was a letter that came to me when i was the chairman of the oversight committee. tell me what you found out now about the reality. that s right. james comey told congress that they had reviewed all of the clinton emails, hundreds of thousands, that were found on the weiner laptop. that was not true. they barely looked at any event. 3,000 of 700,000 were individually jason: wait, wait, wait. how many? stick with 3,000 out of potentially relevant 700,000 ems were actually individually examined for classified information and incriminating evidence. jason: i mean, it did shock us, right? it was days. they told us they were looking into it and then days later they somehow reviewed 700,000 documents? how many people, do you have any idea how many people working on this case looking at these documents? i was going to mention that peter strzok, the disgraced agent who was in charge of the investigation into the clinton emails, he personally handpicked the 3,000 sample. with two other investigators, went through the mall supposedln all-nighter, ordered pizza, and said nothing new here. case closed once again. jason: i ve got to tell you, as the former chairman of the committee, as a former member of congress, i mean, how can that be anything other than the director of the fbi lying to congress and misleading us? stick and he also swore under o, and he had this story that he had this miraculous breakthrough in technology that fbi to process the weiner laptop for evidence rapidly. turns out that doesn t pass the smell test. that didn t check out either. there was a technical glitch that ported the effort. i was going to mention that, jason, when you were on oversight, you re probably wondering the same thing. how in the world can they get through this mountain of evidence in days, after comey gave you the final all clear on hillary? jason: now that you have unveiled or figured out what s going on with this information, where does this case go next? does anybody is anybody investigating this? michael horowitz, the inspector general for the department of justice, i wonder if he s looking at it. if you have attorney general sessions just today said he s only operates without any political influence. is the attorney general himself looking at this and lying to congress? this evidence that is, really has been covered up on this laptop, this weiner laptop, it is still relevant. in the clinton foundation probe especially, which is still ongoing, and you know, the whole thing raises more suspicion that the fbi politicized these investigations during the election. it just begs for an outside, independent prosecutor to go back through this evidence, through these emails, and see if the fbi was trying to cover up material evidence in this case. jason: i really appreciate your good investigative work. we were always scratching our heads in congress, the fact that you have unveiled this, it does demand i think the inspector general, attorney general himself, and potentially i would advocate s second special prosecutor to look at this. it creates more legal jeopardy for james comey and it s a second revelation that not only did they use peter strzok to look at that information with his handpicked people and they ordered late night pizza, come on. the disgraced peter strzok at this point, makes absolutely no sense. paul, i thank you for your good work and coming on this program to share this with us. my pleasure. thank you. jason: the attorney for they ll go and bergen alleged to have murdered mollie tibbetts speaks out. you won t believe it when he had to say. we will play next. we know that what s outside can change what s inside. we know the great outdoors. we love the great outdoors. bass pro shops and cabela s bring you the fall hunting classic with huge savings on the latest gear. like savings of 40% on redhead silent hide camo shirts and pants. and save $130 on this garmin handheld gps. officials are saying their reports indicate. he used a false name to work for an employer. they thought he was somebody else. we know that as well. these are the facts that are being dug up in that case. jason: martha is exactly right. joining me there were three actions are tom homan, a fox news contributor, and the former acting director of i.c.e. and immigration attorney alan orr. allen, is it a legitimate question or subject for us to discuss if somebody is here legally or illegally? stick to it is if we are dealing with a matter of immigration. but i think what the family has said in this situation and also with the law bears out in the way the cases being handled, the fact that this person is undocumented is not an essential part of his actual criminal activity. therefore jason: alan, don t you believe he was unable to get here, if he had come legally and lawfully, he may not ever come here. the fact that he was here and is illegal. mollie would be alive if he weren t in this country. do you believe that or not? first of all, it s an absolute tragedy and i offer my condolences to the family. the possibility of changing what actually happened, no one can do those circumstances. i m not going to play the game of what i have. jason: it s not a game. when people are here illegally and they commit a crime, i really do believe that that crime wouldn t have been committed because they wouldn t have been here. is that logical? a philosophy major. it s not a logical answer. there are endless possibilities of things that could ve happened. it s not a logical answer. jason: he would ve been in mexico and she would have gone running. in this specific occurrence. jason: a young woman going to college about to enter her junior year is murdered. you are telling me not relevant? i am uncertain if you re asking me if the immigration status is relevant. it is not relevant. what is relevant is the individual and the individual actions which have been discussed. jason: his actions of coming here illegally ultimately led to her being killed by this person. that is the allegation. we will see if it s true, but that s the allegation. tom, you have dedicated is a fallacy of causation. he was here for four years with no problem. jason: we don t know that yet. hold on. i want to bring in tom. tom spent a lifetime in law enforcement protecting us and getting rid of some of the most nefarious criminals out there. tom, what is your take on this? i think my friend alan is way wrong on this and you are right. fact: he was in the country illegally. fact: if he wasn t here, this girl would be alive today. it s just a fact of the case. it s not a philosophy. this girl is dead today because he killed her and he was here illegally. if he hadn t been here, if we had a border wall and real border enforcement, maybe he wouldn t have been to be here. stone cold fact. jason: let me play a clip of a candidate for the united states senate. a person running against ted cruz. sorry. okay, we don t have this clip. you have a lot of people saying hey, we should decriminalize this. essentially open borders. we want to abolish i.c.e. allen, where do you stand on those issues? the abolish i.c.e. movement as well as decriminalization of immigration are separate issues and i want to be clear. earlier saying his immigration status had nothing to do with the crime. and what happened in that occurrence. what is not important jason: i m going to keep arguing. i m not going to let you get over that. i m going to keep arguing. if he didn t come here illegally, he wouldn t have committed this crime. and you think that s a philosophy? i think it s a fact. it s a fallacy of causation. you are saying that because he was illegal, he committed the crime. not the case. jason: if some in your home and then murders you, what do you think would happen if he didn t break into your home? right, so if these these equivocation s, the strawman arguments aren t useful to the conversation. jason: it s not a strawman. we have a dead woman. and it s a tragedy for the family and they ve asked that her death not a political issues based on this because jason: it s the number one issue facing voters. tom, jump in. an s actions is not represent illegals in this country. jason: i m not quite a lot you get away with that. there s difference between immigrants and illegal americans. tom homan explained the difference. low, immigrants are here legally. illegal aliens are here illegally. the comment allen made about the family. illegal immigration has been a political issue for decades. it s emotional. fact: about two hours ago, i got a text, actually an email from don rosenberg in california. he talked about this case and talked about an l.a. editorial where they talked about politicizing the death. don rosenberg reminded me. he said tom, everyone of us, we want the president to speak about this. we ve been speaking mothers for a long time that we never had the voice of the top president trump got to be president. he created the voice. victims of immigration crime at i.c.e. here is an angel dead. saying we want a voice. want at the american people to understand the tragedy. children killed by illegal aliens and we need to talk about it. jason: let me alan, i ve got to show some video. there are those of us to believe in the wall and believe we should lock down the border. on the southern border, there s a video which hopefully will come up on the screen, of what was going on at a kfc. there was a tunnel going into this kfc which was providing a conduit. this is the kfc. reminds me of breaking bad and how they they are moving drunk through. this is the tunnel moving through. do you advocate for open borders or do you think we need more resources, more fun, more resources to lockdown the border, particularly the southern border? i don t think anyone is arguing for open borders. the point, i m glad we are talking about this story that s exactly the issue. i.c.e. should be focused on these types of issues rather than separating families and children at the border. [all speaking] border patrol separating families, not i.c.e. i support the border patrol during that period numbers were down by 20%. should have stuck with it another 30 days of the problem would be solved. decriminalizing illegal immigration is going to result in more illegal immigrants coming to this country. jason: gentlemen, thank you. the reality is if you put up a wall, you re not going to separate families because they are not going to get into the country the first place. well, i appreciate you being here. more left-wing outraged night, this time over a report the trump administration is considering using federal funds to help armed teachers in the classroom. we will debate it next. the closer you get to home, the more you know the commute is worth it. you and that john deere tractor, you can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. it s a longer drive, but just like a john deere, it s worth it. 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. jason: according to the new york times, secretary of our education betsy devos considering a plan that would provide federal funding to help arm teachers. predictably, the left reacted with outrage. teachers don t want guns. they know it makes them a target of god forbid a comes into the school. ed now betsy devos wants to take federal funds away from instruction? so that the school district can buy guns for teachers? what is that all about? jason: senator schumer knows not what he says, nor is he giving a proper representation of what the secretaries trying to to do. joining me now for debate is guns down executive director igor both he and laura colonel, founder of faster color. thank you for being here. igor, i get the idea that you advocate and don t want any guns at any schools. i wish the bad guys wouldn t bring guns into schools or really anywhere. we are on the same page. we should have a country with fewer guns in a country where guns are significantly jason: we are on a different page. look at us, same page, jason. jason: i think your utopia you describe is just fiction and it s not reality. let s pretend that somebody does bring a gun into school, then what do you advocate? well, i mean if somebody brings a gun into a school, that situation should be dealt with. what we know is jason: how? it depends on what happened, if somebody reports the student come he s going to be dealt with that way. if he starts some kind of incident, certainly police are going to be called. in terms of arming teachers, which is the question here, but we have seen time and time and time again is that individuals who are carrying firearms do not respond well and active shooting situation. the adrenaline that run through your body in those moments, without the proper training, that professionals have in the field, you re not going to be able to handle this well and often times oftentimes innocent people get hurt. this correlation between jason: do you think more innocent people would get hurt if there is nobody wait, wait. is there more people getting potentially hurt if there is no resistance? or if there is somebody who is there to protect may be themselves and their kids. the fbi looked at this question. they looked from 2000 to 2013 in active shooting situations and they found unarmed individuals were far more successful at disarming the intruder jason: if i ve got a guy with a gun in my school, i want to have a gun with me too. laura, let s go your per trade faster colorado, you dedicate a part of your career and efforts to help engage teachers. how do you see this working? it s working today. we ve got hundreds of armed school staff already in colorado and thousands across the country. what it comes down to is these are school staff, teachers, janitors, however. they would die to protect their kids. in these school shootings, you see they are dying to protect kids. they can protect kids and live and be able to save kids and go back to their own families. we hear a lot of statistics. they are not completely accurate. what we do know is that when somebody is there on scene to stop the killer as close as possible to where he starts his crime, fewer people are hurt or die. the alternative, you have to wait for law enforcement. if it s even 3 minutes, most of these things are over in 3 to 5 minutes. it s a lot people dying with nobody there to stop a shooter. jason: igor, this is where i think you re wrong. it will take law-enforcement even just a few minutes and the carnage that can ensue is wrong. when i went to school in colorado, i had coach schmidt. coach schmidt knew more about guns than probably anybody i ve ever met. his wielding a gun or having a sidearm, i think it would have made us a lot safer. guns aren t for everybody. you have to have an aptitude and a desire but nobody is suggesting that every teacher do this. what s wrong with coach schmidt having a gun? they got that coach has the right amount of training community we can think about it. i think we can agree that guns are too easy to get in this country and we should work on making sure jason: know, i disagree with you. make sure the guy never gets into the school. we need guns harder to get. all the data shows us that fewer guns means safer communities. you talk a utopia. all other high income countries jason: look at what s going on in chicago. some of the toughest gun laws. i m happy to talk about chicago but you are the one who brought up a utopia, this idea that you can live in a gun violence free world. i m telling you nations around the world are living that utopia and they living it because they have fewer guns. jason: okay, laura, how do we best protect our kids? what is the right thing, what s the right policy for schools? we protect our kids the way we protect our families. people can make decisions to have a school that doesn t have armed staff and does have armed staff and parents can choose. for my kids, my grandkids, i want someone there who can stop whatever happens, whether it s a fire, whatever other danger, including active killers. what we know about active killers, jason come is that the next one is out there. he s already planning his crime. no amount of gun control is going to stop him. what are we going to do when he comes to the door of the school, gets into the school, like we keep seeing? somebody has to be there to stop him, or we are going to see more kids die and more school staff die. you are right. we ve got janitors who are all over the school, coaches, they are all over the school. there are lots of folks. in my training program, we see them. they are all volunteers. they raised their hand and they say pick me to save kids. that s what we should be looking at. jason: we ve got a lot of former military people. we have a lot of former policeman that should be involved and engaged. i think the right answer is not for everyone, but those that are trained and those with an aptitude i think should be in those schools and it will make the schools safer. i think you for your passion on this issue and coming on the air to discuss it tonight. some troubling new data about well for use in this country, plus hurricane lane is barreling into hawaii, one of my favorite places on the planet. we have new development on its track. that s coming upro next. on the shelf. or even. out in the field. your mom knew she could always count on us. and your grandma did too. because for over 150 years, we ve been right by your side. advancing the health of the people, plants and pets you love. so, from all of us at bayer. thank you for trusting in us. then. and now. already. a lot more rain to go. a while, kauai. people getting in on it. you can see the center of the storm. the center of the storm likely won t cross landfall. i say likely. he can t fully rule it out. because of the trajectory, it s going to be impacting hawaii for a long time. came south, made eight northerly turn anti-western turn likely before moving across parts of the island, at least the center of it. that means we have a long time, it s a long duration stronger because its longer duration, with the rain, rainfall totals will pileup as will the flooding. down to a category 3. the center of the storm doesn t have as strong winds as it did before. we expect that to happen. the farther north, it s going to break apart a little bit. take a look at this. friday morning, saturday mornin morning. somewhere here passed a while who by sunday morning. likely pass the island chain by sunday. two and a half more days of rain that we have to deal with. these are models we look at. notice all of them moving towards the north and all of them eventually making a westerly turn. does that get a little bit closer here maybe around a while who oahu or maui. the impact will be there with all of the rain. this is the wind shear. the farther north a ghost, interact more with that. that s my will eventually see awakening storm which is good news but the impacts are going to be the same nonetheless. you will it s primarily on the eastern side of the island. the big island where we still are going to be looking at another 18 inches of rain, same goes up around maui, a little bit less likely once we get towards oahu and kauai. that s tropical storm force winds for the overnight hours, will be dealing with that across parts of the big island. much of the day tomorrow and saturday. across parts of the central islands. a long-duration storm, and because of that, that s why we are so concerned about flooding and it s going to cost quite a bit of damage. jason: thank you. an amazing amount of rain. good luck there in hawaii. we are thinking about you and praying for you. democrats are flirting with socialism, and if you look at the latest census data from 2016, it s not hard to see why. a whopping 52% .1% of americans under the age of 18 lived in a household that received at least one type of welfare. it begs the big question, are we breeding a new generation of dependency on government? joining enough for analysis are david burstein, the founder of run for america. and doug schoen, who is the potable analyst and fox news contributor. gentlemen, i think you both for being here. david, where is this taking us? is this new generation just going to assume that government is going to be there to bail them out the rest of their lives? look, i think we have to look at these numbers, and these are not good numbers because what they underlie is that there s some fundamental problems in our economy and the way that it s working for people. i don t think the biggest problem here is the government dependency that s been created, but the reality of the economy that most young people are growing up in, which does not spell a tremendous amount of opportunity for them going forward. when we think about the economic policy jason: but come on. every story we have had over the last six months to a year is about record low unemployment levels. speak of the economy is working for a certain set of people, jason: unemployment near 3.0% as it is in utah, then i mean come on. why so many people still dependent? these are people, as you know, they are not counted in those numbers. people under the age of 18 are generally not counted in on employment numbers because they haven t reached full maturity in the labor market yet. these are people who are beginning their career and beginning their lives at a huge disadvantage to everybody else. jason: let me i want to have we haven t created a fair economy people. jason: i want to talk about the minimum wage. let me put it this graphic and show how the growth has happened. this is this is households withn under the age of 18 receiving government assistance. 1998 22013. up to 51.8%. doug, what is your read? i was one of those people advising the clinton administration, and as you want to remember, we did work requirements, time limits for welfare. while i agree that there are people who need assistance, the disabled, absolutely. we have what we need to do is encourage a culture of independence, not dependence, te encourage people to take advantage of the resources our society offers to get ahead. those that can t come i need help. i really think as a society, we need to encourage working. it s worth saying unemployment in the african-american and hispanic unities is now at record lows. we are making a lot of progress, but there s obviously more to do. jason: david, what is your take on minimum wage? you have kids turning the corner, 15, 16 years old and then when the minimum wage because our quality thing happens to the employment of those young teenagers trying to get their first job and get the experience? look, the reality that we have to look at here is that these people who are 18 and starting out. jason: that s not what i asked you, david. i asked you about the kids were 15, 16 years old trying to get a first job. what do you think is the effect of arising minimum wage? the children that we re looking at in this report, you know, many of these people are going out and they are getting the same kind of jobs that people have gotten it s very simple. jason: david. i am one who believes in work programs. i believe in incentives for job training. minority business and the like. but if you do not allow younger people to get below minimum wage jobs as a first opportunity to get in the workforce, all you do is hurt poor people. i don t want to sound or conan or tough or harsh but that s just a statistical fact of life. you are my hero of the moment. i think you re absolutely right. one of the good things i thought happened with bill clinton s years, along with newt gingrich, a lot of these work requirement requirements. david, i ve got to tell you i really do believe when you see rising and employment levels, guess what. they hire less young people. they don t have experience and learn the value of a dollar, guess what. then they start on this cycle. we want people in the workforce, period. i do it myself my own business. i am proud of it. you know what jason: i did it. my kids did it. i wish we had more time. dave and doug, thank you very much. appreciate you coming on tonight. former congressman accused of spending taxpayer money to fund a lavish lifestyle says the charges are bogus. aaron shocked is here and he will tell us how he is fighting back. while i was in the navy, jason: aaron schock was once a rising star on the republican party. i served with him in congress. he liked it when he was just 27 years old, he joke on an almost celebrity status. even appearing on the cover of men s health, something i could never do. six years ago after six years of his time in congress, there were allegations of misdeeds regarding the decoration of his office and the potential misuse of a campaign vehicle. according to his attorney, 30 federal agents were involved. there were two grand jury is convened. he was charged with 24 felonies, two of which have been dismissed. and he faces 80 to 100 years in prison. four years later, the prosecutor was reassigned after lying to the court. he says he has spent nearly $3 million defending himself. yet he is still never had his day in court. it is time to hear aaron s side of the story kemeny joins me here today. aaron, tell me, why are we in this situation for years after the fact he left congress. thank you for having me on, jason. anytime you re involved in a legal matter, your attorney say don t say anything and justice will prevail. i ve always believed in our criminal justice system, that they are interested in truth. but sadly, it became very clear that over the two years that they were investigating me, that they were on a massive fishing expedition. they went so far while i was still in office. the obama justice department to much to wire up the low-level staffer in my office and directed that staffer, without a search warrant, to steal documents in my office and attorney-client privilege material and even still records of the house of representatives. then they were forcing court to admit they didn t find anything. of course natural jason: let me put up this graphic. one of the things that catches my attention, the house counsel is there to protect the institution, not necessarily the members of congress. i want to put up on the screen what he actually has said. this is the house counsel. talking about the fbi and the department of justice. such conduct likely constitutes a federal crime on the part of the fbi. on the part of federal agents who induced the commission of an underlying crime. he has taken the position knocked against aaron schock but in support of aaron s be 26. supported me, into your point, support of the institution of the house of representatives. the government has repeatedly infringe on the separation of powers of the institution of congress, and unfortunately that letter has never been responded to by the justice department. they infringed upon the constitutional rights of congress as well to make and interpret its own rules. anyway, they charged me the suppose it felonies is almost laughable when you understand them. let me give you two quick examples. one, i purchased a car with campaign funds, which is perfectly legal for the use of driving on my district. we submitted to the fec the purchase of that vehicle and payments to the dealership as a transportation expense. the government now has charged me with a false statement to a federal agency. they believe it should have said vehicle purchase. jason: as opposed to transportation expense. 20 year felony. jason: as i recall, they were, the news article initially said you had run out more vehicle miles and when he sold it for, where there were multiple vehicles involved. of course them as you know when you drive around your district, you re not always in the same vehicle. my staff and i were estimating my mileage as we went around the district, which the house finance office excepted. the government now comes back and says you can t. jason: let s go to your office. one of the criticisms is you use this extravagant amount of money to decorate your office. downton abbey was the thing that was tag to your office. with your viewpoint? first of all, that s not true. the truth of the matter is i ve never seen the show downton abbey. i had never even heard of the show downton abbey until the washington post ran that story. the next day i did an interview with cbs evening news where i said this is not true. the decorator who did the office gave an interview to the huffington post jason: where did the money come from? the money came for my budget, my office budget. i spent $25,000 my office budget on my office. jason: members are given what s called a member s reimbursable allowance. roughly $1.4 million. you spent money, $25,000 or so of that office budget, on your office. [laughs] yeah, exactly. jason: what were you charged with? one of the items we ve purchased, they decorator purchased a light fixture. according to the house rules can you can buy fixtures but not furniture. and so the government has committed said that s not a fixture. that s a piece of furniture. again, a false statement to a federal agency, 20 or felony. jason: you are facing 20 years because they say you put it on your forms saying it with a fixture as opposed to a piece of furniture even though it s a piece of lighting. correct. jason: you are facing 20 years. why has this taken so long? i have seen multiple different prosecutors. i believe you are now on your third judge. typically the justice department, this is my first rodeo, my first time. typically the justice department he first told the local attorney s office. they defer to their judgment. what has happened over the past four years at the local u.s. attorney s office, the obama holdover justice department in central illinois, has proven a lack of judgment frankly. first, not only did they wire up my informant illegally and still documents of mine. it s produced so that didn t happen with the department of justice in washington, d.c.? no, it s a local office who saw me as a rising star in the republican party and their ticket to move up the ladder within the justice department. after they wired up my informant and didn t anything, they then, during the grand jury process, used my fifth amendment right to not appear against me. when we heard about it, we call them out onto the judge. the judge asked to prosecute his office, were you doing this question might be emphatically denied it. three months later they had to admit to the car they lied and they had used my fifth amendment against me 11 times on 11 different occasions. yet the case continues to move forward and finally just a couple weeks ago, we found out that the same u.s. attorney s office was engaged in communication with the judge in my case about another criminal matter and that s why we have now got a new judge. jason: do you think you are charged two days after donald trump was elected. do you think that s a coincidence? no. this u.s. attorney we know contacted members of congress advocating for help becoming the next u.s. attorney because again, he was the guy who was prosecuting aaron schock. we know he was a finalist, one of the finalists jason: i ve got about 15 seconds. the case camino have paperwork with the supreme court. what are the possibilities? we hope these are dream court except our hearing because it is important constitutional concerns about allowing the justice department to reinterpret the house rules, which are jason: thank you for being here and explaining it. a lot more to thisto case. this could mean fewer refills of toujeo. all that and a $0 copay! that s something to groove about. let s groove tonight. share the spice of life from the makers of lantus®, toujeo® provides blood sugar-lowering activity baby slice it right. all day, all night, and beyond, proven blood sugar control all day and all night, and significantly lower your a1c. toujeo® is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don t use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you re allergic to insulin. get medical help right away if you have a serious allergic reaction such as body rash, or trouble breathing. don t reuse needles, or share insulin pens. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be life-threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily. injection site reactions may occur. don t change your dose of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor about all your medicines and medical conditions. check insulin label each time you inject. taking tzds with insulins like toujeo® may cause heart failure that can lead to death. find your rhythm and keep on grooving. let s groove tonight. to experience toujeo, ask your doctor. bring you the fall hunting classic - with great deals. like savings of 40% on redhead silent hide camo shirts and pants. and save $130 on this garmin handheld gps. jason: many thanks to laura ingraham for allowing me to sit in and host her show. i really do appreciate it. hope you re able to check out a book i ve written. it s called the deep state: how an army of bureaucrats protected barack obama and is working to
Laura Ingraham shines a spotlight on everyday Americans and examines how their lives are affected by politics at the federal, state and local level. organization and two senior company officials related to the payments to stormy daniels. that s important because president trump has no power tos pardon individuals convicted of state crimes. joining me now to make sense of all this, chris hahn, radioow talk show host and former aide to senator chuck schumer. matt schlapp, chairman of the american conservative union, and david bossie, former deputy chairman of the trump campaign. thank you for joining us.ig david, i want to start with you. the attorney general went out of his way to say he was never influenced by any political consideration but i think, correct me if i m wrong, one of the first things he did was make a political consideration to recuse himself on a case that he really did need to do it because of political considerations. correct?o that s exactly right, jason. that bad decision by the attorney general to recuse himself has borne out this incredible witch hunt that the president has had to live the talking points, who were interested in the felonies might ve happened in new york, not to mention the trump organization and the trump foundation.fo we would have investigations in congress. congress is hapless right now. when you were chair of that committee, you investigated. i think you would beld investigating right now. jason: you know what.. you know why congress is hapless? because this attorney general does nothing to provideis documents that congress has issued subpoenas to. matt, come on in here and give us your perspective.e this attorney general is thereis in name only. i think he s one of the most feckless, ineffective attorney generals this country has ever had. what s your read? jason, i understand wherere you re coming from. i am a big fan of jeff sessions but i feel like for the last year and a half, it s been one of the most painful things to watch. the saddest thing is the president has amazing fortitude in pushing through his agenda, but there s two decisions that jeff sessions made that have really caused all of this drama over the course of the last year and a half. was collusion with putin s government. o we are talking about the lifestyles of the rich and famous and we are talking about squashing bad stories that can harm a reputation. it has nothing to do with collusion. it has nothing to do with russia. the american people are repulsed by all of this. hi jason: david, david. timeout. gentlemen. gentlemen. david, are you concerned that immunity is given to a member of the media? c people will scoff at the national enquirer and say it s the national enquirer. you don t hear very often thate the department of justice grants immunity to a news organization. there are certain times, when you go and talk to your attorney, you get attorney-client privilege. when you talk to your doctor, you expect those medical records won t be when you talk to a member of the media off the record, there is some sanctity there, is there not? there absolutely should be. we don t know. it s all hypothetical what david pecker may or may not know and why he got the immunity deal. usually law enforcement gets something in return for that immunity deal. if you look at cheryl mills and samuelson. hillary clinton s lawyers. you remember this very well, that they got immunity in their deals and gave nothing in return. jason: five got immunity. the closest to hillary clinton and they got nothing out of it. chris, you get the last word. well, well, i think we all want to know what is in david pecker s safe. it could be interesting to the american people. it s like geraldo. i wish congress was half aggressive as figuring this out as you were when you were there. jason: gentlemen, thank you.an i appreciate the spirit of the debate. chris, i want you to stick around. i want everybody else on this broadcast to stick around, because this will shock you. a bombshell report put out by real clear investigations that says despite what james comey said, the fbi failed to look at the vast majority of the emailsi on anthony weiner s laptop, which had thousands of hillary clinton s state department emails on it. joining me now to explain further is the author of that report, investigative journalist for realclearinvestigations.com, paul sperry.f thanks for being here. i m fascinated in this. actually, the letter that went to congress explaining this was a letter that came to me when i was the chairman of the oversight committee. tell me what you found out now about the reality. that s right.te james comey told congress that they had reviewed all of the clinton emails, hundreds of thousands, that were found on the weiner laptop. that was not true. they barely looked at any event. 3,000 of 700,000 were individually jason: wait, wait, wait. how many? 3,000 out of potentially relevant 700,000 emails were actually individually examined for classified information and incriminating evidence. jason: i mean, it did shock us, right? it was days. they told us they were looking into it and then days later they somehow reviewed 700,000 i documents? how many people, do you have any idea how many people working on this case looking at these documents? i was going to mention that peter strzok, the disgraced agent who was in charge of the investigation into the clinton emails, he personally handpicked the 3,000 sample. with two other investigators, they went through the mallllhe supposedly and pulled an all-nighter, ordered pizza, and said nothing new here. case closed once again. jason: i ve got to tell you, as the former chairman of the committee, as a former member of congress, i mean, how can that be anything other than the director of the fbi lying to congress and misleading us? he also swore under oath, and he had this story that he hadir this miraculous breakthrough in technology that fbi to process the weiner laptop for evidence rapidly. turns out that doesn t pass the smell test. that didn t check out either. there was a technical glitch that thwarted the effort. i was going to mention that, jason, when you were on oversight, you re probably wondering the same thing. how in the world can they get through this mountain of evidence in days, after comey gave you the final all clear on hillary? jason: now that you have unveiled or figured out what s going on with this information, where does this case go next? is anybody investigating this? michael horowitz, the inspector general for the department of justice, i wonder if he s looking at it. and you have attorney general sessions just today said he only operates without any political influence. is the attorney general himself looking at this, in lying to congress? this evidence that is, reall has been covered up on this laptop, this weiner laptop, it is still relevant. in the clinton foundation probe especially, which is still ongoing, and you know, the whole thing raises more suspicion that the fbi politicized these investigations during the election.. it just begs for an outside, independent prosecutor to go back through this evidence, through these emails, and see if the fbi was trying to cover up material evidence in this case.g jason: i really appreciate your good investigative work. we were always scratching our heads in congress, the fact that you have unveiled this, it doesv demand i think the inspector general, attorney general himself, and potentially i would advocate second special prosecutor to look at this. it creates more legal jeopardy for james comey and it s a second revelation that not only did they use peter strzok to look at that information with his handpicked people and they ordered late night pizza, come on. the disgraced peter strzok at this point, makes absolutely no sense. paul, i thank you for your good work and coming on this program to share this with us. my pleasure. thank you. jason: the attorney for the illegal immigrant alleged to have murdered mollie tibbetts speaks out. you won t believe what he had to say. we will play the tape next. this wi-fi is fast. oh boy. wi-fi fast enough for the whole family is simple, easy, awesome. in many cultures, young men would stay with their families until their 40 s. jason: cristhian river jason: cristhian rivera stands charge for the murder of 20-year-old iowa university student mollie tibbetts.tt rivera s attorneys had down with an interview with martha maccallum tonight where he didn t seem to care that his client is an illegal immigrant. the united states constitution provides if you are not a citizen, you still are entitled to the jurisdictions of the courts and entitled to equal protection under the law. i don t think anyone said he wasn t. what people are saying is he arrived here illegally from mexico 4 to 7 years ago. that is your rhetoric. it is not rhetoric. that s what the immigration officials are saying their n reports indicate. he used a false name to work for an employer. they thought he was somebody else. we know that as well. these are the facts that are being dug up in that case. jason: martha is exactly right. joining me now with reactions are tom homan, a fox news contributor, and the former a acting director of i.c.e. and immigration attorney allen orr. allen, is it a legitimate question or subject for us to discuss if somebody is here legally or illegally? it is if we are dealing with a matter of immigration. but i think what the family has said in this situation and also with the law bears out in the way the case is being handled,wi the fact that this person is undocumented is not an essential part of his actual criminal activity. therefore jason: allen, don t you believe if he was unable to get here, if he had come legally and lawfully, he may not ever comere here. the fact that he was here and is illegal. mollie would be alive if he weren t in this country. do you believe that or not? first of all, it s an absolute tragedy and i offer my condolences to the family. the possibility of changing what actually happened, no one can do those circumstances. i m not going to play the game of what if. jason: it s not a game. when people are here illegally and they commit a crime, ial really do believe that that crime wouldn t have been committed because they wouldn t have been here.. is that logical? i m a philosophy major. no, it s not a logical answer. jason: it is not philosophy, it is logic. there are endless possibilities of things that could ve happened. it s not a logical answer. jason: she would have gone running and he would have been in mexico. in this specific occurrence. jason: a young woman goingg. to college, about to enter her junior year, is murdered. you are telling me that s not relevant? i am uncertain if you re asking me if the immigration status is relevant. it is not relevant. what is relevant is the individual and those individual actions, which have been discussed.e jason: his actions of coming here illegally ultimately led to her being killed by thise person. that is the allegation. we will see if it s true, buts that s the allegation. tom, you have dedicated it s a fallacy of causation. he was here for four years with no problem. jason: we don t know that yet. hold on. i want to bring in tom. tom spent a lifetime in law enforcement protecting us i and getting rid of some of the most nefarious criminals out there. tom, what is your take on this? i think my friend allen is way wrong on this and you are f right. fact: he was in the country illegally. fact: if he wasn t here, this girl would be alive today. it s just a fact of the case. it s not a philosophy. this girl is dead today because he killed her and he was here illegally. if he hadn t been here, if we had a border wall and real border enforcement, maybe he wouldn t have been to be here. stone cold fact. jason: let me play a little clip of a candidate for the united states senate. the person running against ted cruz. sorry. okay, we don t have this clip. you have a lot of people saying hey, we should decriminalize this. essentially open borders. we want to abolish i.c.e. allen, where do you stand on t those issues? the abolish i.c.e. movement as well as decriminalization of immigration are separate issues and i want to be very clear..c earlier saying his immigration status had nothing to do with the crime and what happened in that occurrence. what is not important jason: i m going to keep arguing. allen, i m not going to let you get away with that. i m going to keep arguing. if he didn t come here illegally, then he wouldn t have committed this crime. and you think that s a philosophy? i think it s a fact. it s a fallacy of causation. you are saying that because he was illegal, he committed the crime. not the case. jason: allen, if somebody breaks into your home and then murders you, what do you think would happen if he didn t breake into your home? right, so if these these equivocations, the strawman arguments, aren t useful to the conversation. jason: it s not a strawman. we have a dead woman. and it s a tragedy for the family and they ve asked that her death not be a political issue based on this because jason: it s the number one issue facing voters. tom, jump in. an individual s actions doess not represent the whole community of immigrants in this country. jason: i didn t say that. i m not going to let you get away with that. there s difference between immigrants and illegal immigrants. tom homan explained the difference. immigrants are here legally. illegal aliens are here illegally. bottom line, the comment allen made about the family. illegal immigration has been a political issue for decades.ad it s emotional. fact: about two hours ago, i got a text, actually an email from don rosenberg in california. he talked about this case and talked about an l.a. editorial where they talked about politicizing these deaths. don rosenberg reminded me. he said tom, everyone of us, the angel families, we want the president to speak about this. we ve been speaking about this for a long time, but we never had the voice until president trump got to be president. he created the voice. victims of immigration crime at i.c.e. here is an angel dead. saying we want a voice. we want at the american people to understand the tragedy. children killed by illegal aliens and we need to talk about it. jason: let me allen, i ve got to show some video. there are those of us that believe in the wall and believe we should lock down the border. on the southern border, there s a video which hopefully will come up on the screen, of what was going on at a kfc. there was a tunnel going into this kfc which was providing a conduit. this is the kfc. reminds me of breaking bad and how they are moving drugs through.y this is the tunnel moving through. do you advocate for open border or do you think we need more resources, more funds, more resources to lockdown the border, particularly the southern border? i don t think anyone is arguing for open borders. the point, i m glad we are talking about this story because that s exactly the issue. i.c.e. should be focused on these types of issues rather than separating families and children at the border. rather than showing up at courthouses. [all speaking] border patrol separating families, not i.c.e. i support the border patrol doing that, the numbers were down by 20%. should have stuck with it another 30 days and the problem would be solved. decriminalizing illegal immigration is going to result in more illegal immigrants coming to this country. that s just a fact. jason: gentlemen, thank you. the reality is if you put up a wall, you re not going toolimim separate families because they are not going to get into the country in the first place. well, i appreciate you being here. more left-wing outrage tonight, this time over a report the trump administration is considering using federal funds to help arm teachers in the classroom. we will debate it next. he giving a proper representation of what the secretary is trying to to do. joining me now for debate is guns down executive directorat igor volsky and laura carno, founder of faster colorado. thank you for being here. igor, i get the idea that you advocate and don t want any guns at any schools. i wish the bad guys wouldn t bring guns into schools or really anywhere. we are on the same page. we should have a country withn fewer guns in a country where guns are significantly jason: we are on a different page. look at us, same page, jason. jason: i think your utopia you describe is just fiction and it s not reality. let s pretend that somebody does bring a gun into school, then what do you advocate? well, i mean if somebody brings a gun into a school, that situation should be dealt with. what we know is jason: how?w? it depends on what happened, if somebody reports the student he s going to be dealt with that way. if he starts some kind of incident, certainly police are going to be called. in terms of arming teachers, which is the question here, but. we have seen time and time and time again is that individualsue who are carrying firearms do not respond well and active shooting situation. the adrenaline that run through your body in those moments, without the proper training,ha that professionals have in the field, you re not going to be able to handle this well and often times oftentimes innocent people get hurt. this correlation between jason: do you think more innocent people would get hurt if there is nobody wait,et wait. is there more people getting potentially hurt if there is no resistance? or if there is somebody who is there to protect may be themselves and their kids.f the fbi looked at this question. they looked from 2000 to 2013 in active shooting situations and they found unarmed individuals were far more successful at disarming the intruder jason: if i ve got a guy with a gun in my school, i want to have a gun with me too. laura, let s get your perspective. faster colorado, you dedicate a part of your career and efforts to help engage teachers. how do you see this working? it s working today.r we ve got hundreds of armed school staff already in colorado and thousands across the country. what it comes down to is these are school staff, teachers, janitors, however. they would die to protect their kids. in these school shootings, you see they are dying to protect kids. they can protect kids and live and be able to save kids and go back to their own families. we hear a lot of statistics. they are not completely accurate. what we do know is that when somebody is there on scene to stop the killer as close as possible to where he starts his crime, fewer people are hurt or die. the alternative, you have to wait for law enforcement. if it s even 3 minutes, most of these things are over in 3 to 5 minutes. it s a lot people dying with nobody there to stop a shooter.h jason: igor, this is where i think you re wrong. it will take law-enforcement even just a few minutes and the carnage that can ensue is so wrong. when i went to school in colorado, i had coach schmidt. coach schmidt knew more about guns than probably anybody i ve ever met. his wielding a gun or having a sidearm, i think it would have made us a lot safer. guns aren t for everybody. you have to have an aptitude and a desire but nobody is suggesting that every teacher do this. what s wrong with coach schmidt having a gun?o if that coach has the right amount of training community we can think about it. i think we can agree that guns are too easy to get in this country and we should work on making sure th jason: no, i disagree with you. make sure the guy never gets into the school. we need guns harder to get. all the data shows us that fewer guns means safer communities. you talk about utopia. all other high income countries jason: look at what s going on in chicago. some of the toughest gun laws. i m happy to talk about chicago but you are the one who brought up a utopia, this idea that you can live in a gun violence free world. i m telling you nations around the world are living that utopia and they living it because theyn have fewer guns. jason: okay, laura, how doo we best protect our kids? what is the right thing, what st the right policy for schools? we protect our kids the way we protect our families. people can make decisions to have a school that doesn t have armed staff and does have armed staff and parents can choose. for my kids, my grandkids, i want someone there who can stopy whatever happens, whether it s a fire, whatever other danger, including active killers. what we know about active killers, jason, is that the next one is out there. he s already planning his crime. no amount of gun control is going to stop him. what are we going to do when heu comes to the door of the school, gets into the school, like we keep seeing? somebody has to be there to stop him, or we are going to see more kids die and more school staff die. you are right. we ve got janitors who are allnd over the school, coaches, they are all over the school. there are lots of folks. in my training program, we see them. they are all volunteers. they raised their hand and theye say pick me to save kids. that s what we should be looking at. jason: we ve got a lot of former military people. we have a lot of former policeman that should be involved and engaged. i think the right answer is not for everyone, but those that ari trained and those with an aptitude, i think should be in those schools and it will make the schools safer. i thank you for your passion on this issue and coming on the air to discuss it tonight.n some troubling new data about welfare use in this country, plus hurricane lane is barreling into hawaii, one of my favorite places on the planet. we have new developments on its track. that s coming up next. maui, oahu, over towards kauai. everybody already getting in on some of it. you can see the center of the storm. the center of the storm likely won t cross landfall. i say likely. we can t fully rule it out.y because of the trajectory this storm has taken, it s going to be impacting hawaii for a long time. came to the south of it, made this northerly turn and it s going to make a west turn likely before moving across parts of the island, at least the center of it. that means we have a long time, it s a long duration storm and because it s longer duration, with the rain, rainfall totals will pile up as will the flooding. down to a category 3. the center of the storm doesn t have as strong winds as it did before. we expected that to happen. t the farther north it moves, it s going to break apart a little bit. take a look at this. friday morning, saturday morning. somewhere here past around oahu by sunday morning. likely pass the island chain by sunday. two and a half more days of rain that we have to deal with. these are models we look at. notice all of them moving towards the north and all of them eventually making a westerly turn. does that get a little bit closer here maybe around oahu or maui? certainly a possibility. that s why we can t let our guards down. these are big storms. the impact will be there with all of the rain. this is the wind shear. the farther north it goes, it interacts more with that. that s we will eventually see awakening storm, which is goodar news, but the impacts are going to be the same nonetheless. you will notice it s primarily on the eastern side of the islands. the big island, where we still are going to be looking at another 18 inches of rain, samew goes up around maui, a little bit less likely once we get towards oahu and kauai. as far as wind, that yellow is tropical storm force winds for the overnight hours, we will be dealing with that across parts of the big island. much of the day tomorrow and saturday. across parts of the central islands. a long-duration storm, and because of that, that s why we are so concerned about flooding and it s going to cause quite a bit of damage. jason: thank you. an amazing amount of rain. good luck there in hawaii. we are thinking about you and praying for you. well, democrats are flirtingwe with socialism, and if you lookr at the latest census data from 2016, it s not hard to see why. a whopping 52.1% of americans under the age of 18 lived in a household that received at least one type of welfare. it begs the big question, are we breeding a new generation of dependency on government? joining enough for analysis are david burstein, the founder of run for america. and doug schoen, who is the political table analyst and fox news contributor. gentlemen, i think you both for being here. david, where is this taking us? is this new generation just going to assume that government is going to be there to bail them out the rest of their lives?ew look, i think we have to look at these numbers, and these are not good numbers because what they underlie is that there s some fundamental problems in our economy and the way that it s working for people. i don t think the biggest problem here is the government dependency that s been created, but the reality of the economy that most young people are growing up in, which does notpl spell a tremendous amount of opportunity for them going forward. when we think about the economic policy jason: but come on. every story we have had over the last six months to a year is about record low unemployment levels. the economy is working for a certain set of people jason: unemployment near 3.0% as it is in utah, then i mean come on. why so many people still dependent?in these are people, as you know, they are not counted in those numbers. people under the age of 18 are f generally not counted in unemployment numbers because they haven t reached full maturity in the labor market yet. these are people who are beginning their career and beginning their lives at a huge disadvantage to everybody else. jason: let me i want to have we haven t created a fair economy for people. jason: i want to talk about the minimum wage. let me put it this graphic and show how the growth has a happened. this is households with children under the age of 18 receiving government assistance. 1998 to 2013. up to 51.8%. doug, what is your read? i was one of those people advising the clinton administration, and as you want to remember, we did work requirements, time limits for welfare. while i agree that there are people who need assistance, the disabled, absolutely. what we need to do is encourage a culture of independence, not dependence, that we encourage people to take advantage of the resources our society offers to get ahead. those that can t, need help. i really think as a society, we need to encourage working. it s worth saying unemployment in the african-american and hispanic communities is now at record lows. we are making a lot of progress, but there s obviously more to do. jason: david, what is your take on minimum wage?a you have kids turning the corner, 15, 16 years old and then when the minimum wage goes up, what do you think happens to the employment of those young teenagers trying to get their first job and get the experience? look, the reality that we have to look at here is that these people who are 18 and starting out. jason: that s not what i asked you, david.ho i asked you about the kids who are 15, 16 years old trying tors get a first job. what do you think is the effect of a rising minimum wage? the children that we re looking at in this report, you know, many of these people are going out and they are getting the same kind of jobs that people have gotten it s very simple. jason: david. i am one who believes in work programs. i believe in incentives for job training. minority business and the like. but if you do not allow younger people to get below minimum wage jobs as a first opportunity to get in the workforce, all you do is hurt poor people. i don t want to sound draconian or tough or harsh, but that s just a statistical fact of life. you are my hero of the moment. i think you re absolutely right. one of the good things i thought happened with bill clinton s years, along with newt gingrich, a lot of these work requirements. david, i ve got to tell you i really do believe when you see rising and employment levels, guess what. they hire less young people. they don t have experience and learn the value of a dollar, guess what. then they start on this cycle. we want people in the workforce, period. i do it myself my own business. i am proud of it. you know what jason: i did it. my kids did it. i wish we had more time. dave and doug, thank you very much. appreciate you coming on tonight. former congressman accused of spending taxpayer money to fund a lavish lifestyle says the charges are bogus. aaron schock is here and he will tell us how he is fighting back. this wi-fi is fast. jason: aaron schock was once a rising star on the republican party. i served with him in congress.ng elected when he was just 27 years old, he took on an almost celebrity status. even appearing on the cover of men s health, something i could never do.er after six years of his time in congress, there were allegations of misdeeds regarding the decoration of his office and the potential misuse of a campaign vehicle.n according to his attorney, 30 federal agents were involved. there were two grand jury is convened. he was charged with 24 felonies, two of which have been dismissed. and he faces 80 to 100 years in prison. four years later, the prosecutor was reassigned after lying to the court. he says he has spent nearlyhe $3 million defending himself. yet he has still never had his day in court. it is time to hear aaron s side of the story, and he joins me here today. aaron, tell me, why are we in this situation for years after the fact you left congress? thank you for having me on, jason. anytime you re involved in a legal matter, your attorneys say don t say anything and justice will prevail. i ve always believed in our criminal justice system, that they are interested in truth. but sadly, it became very clear that over the two years that they were investigating me, that they were on a massive fishing expedition.hati they went so far while i was still in office. the obama justice department to much to wire up the low-level staffer in my office and directed that staffer, without a search warrant, to steal l documents in my office and attorney-client privilege material and even still records of the house of representatives. then they were forcing court to admit they didn t find anything. of course the natural jason: let me put up this graphic.id f one of the things that catches my attention, the house counsel is there to protect the institution, not necessarily the members of congress. i want to put up on the screen what he actually has said. this is the house counsel. talking about the fbi and the department of justice. such conduct likely constitutes a federal crime on the part of the fbi. on the part of federal agents who induced the commission of an underlying crime. he has taken the position not against aaron schock but in support of aaron schock. supported me, and to youroc point, supported the institution of the house of representatives. the government has repeatedly s infringed on the separation of powers of the institution of congress, and unfortunately that letter has never been responded to by the justice department. they infringed upon the constitutional rights of congress as well to make and interpret its own rules. a anyway, they charged me in the supposed felonies. it s almost laughable when you understand them. t let me give you two quick examples. one, i purchased a car with campaign funds, which is perfectly legal for the use of driving on my district. we submitted to the fec the purchase of that vehicle and payments to the dealership as a transportation expense. the government now has charged me with a false statement to a federal agency. they believe it should have said vehicle purchase. jason: as opposed to transportation expense. 20 year felony. jason: as i recall, they were, the news article initiall> said you had run out more vehicle miles and when he sold it for, where there were multiple vehicles involved. of course them as you know when you drive around your district, you re not always in the same vehicle. my staff and i were estimating my mileage as we went around the district, which the house finance office excepted. the government now comes back and says you can t. jason: let s go to your office. one of the criticisms is you use this extravagant amount of money to decorate your office. downton abbey was the thing that was tagged in your office. with your viewpoint? first of all, that s not true. the truth of the matter is i ve never seen the show downton abbey. i had never even heard of the show downton abbey until the washington post ran that story.il the next day i did an interview with cbs evening news where i said this is not true. the decorator who did the office gave an interview to the huffington post jason: where did the money come from? the money came for my budget, my office budget. i spent $25,000 my office budget on my office. jason: members are given what s called a member s reimbursable allowance. roughly $1.4 million.re you spent money, $25,000 or so of that office budget, on your office. [laughs] yeah, exactly. jason: what were you charged with? one of the items we ve purchased, they decorator? purchased a light fixture. according to the house rules can you can buy fixtures but not furniture. and so the government has committed said that s not a fixture. that s a piece of furniture. again, a false statement to a federal agency, 20-year felony. jason: you are facing 20 years because they say you put it on your forms saying it with a fixture as opposed to a piece of furniture even though it s a piece of lighting. correct. jason: you are facing 20 years. why has this taken so long? i have seen multiple different prosecutors. i believe you are now on your third judge. typically the justice department, this is my first rodeo, my first time. typically the justice department he first told the local attorney s office. they defer to their judgment. what has happened over the past four years at the local u.s. attorney s office, the obama holdover justice department in central illinois, has proven a lack of judgment, frankly.oi first, not only did they wire up my informant illegally and steal documents of mine. jason: so that didn t happen with the department of justice in washington, d.c.? no, it s a local office who saw me as a rising star in theep republican party and their ticket to move up the ladder l within the justice department. after they wired up my informant and didn t anything, they then, during the grand jury process, used my fifth amendment right to not appear against me. when we heard about it, we called them out onto the judge. the judge asked the prosecuter s office, were you doing this question might be emphatically denied it. three months later they had to admit to the court they lied and they had used my fifth amendment against me 11 times on 11 different occasions. yet the case continues to move forward and finally just a couple weeks ago, we found outut that the same u.s. attorney s office was engaged in communication with the judge in my case about another criminal matter and that s why we have now got a new judge. jason: do you think you were charged two days after donald trump was elected. do you think that s a coincidence? no. this u.s. attorney we know contacted members of congress advocating for help becoming the next u.s. attorney because again, he was the guy who was prosecuting aaron schock. we know he was a finalist, one of the finalists jason: i ve got about 15as seconds.is the case, you now have paperwork with the supreme court. what are the possibilities? we hope the supreme court accepts our hearing because there is important constitutional concerns about to reinterpret the house rules, which are jason: thank you for being here and explaining it.wh a lot more to this case. .. let s groove tonight. share the spice of life from the makers of lantus®, toujeo® provides blood sugar-lowering activity baby slice it right. all day, all night, and beyond, proven blood sugar control all day and all night, and significantly lower your a1c. toujeo® is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don t use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you re allergic to insulin. get medical help right away if you have a serious allergic reaction such as body rash, or trouble breathing. don t reuse needles, or share insulin pens. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be life-threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily. injection site reactions may occur. don t change your dose of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor about all your medicines and medical conditions. check insulin label each time you inject. taking tzds with insulins like toujeo® may cause heart failure that can lead to death. find your rhythm and keep on grooving. let s groove tonight. to experience toujeo, ask your doctor. jason: many thanks to laura ingraham for allowing me to sit in and host her show. i really do appreciate it. hope you re able to check out a book i ve written. it s called the deep state: how an army of bureaucrats protected barack obama and is working to
see beginning right after the 2018 midterms. dan, to be continued. please come back. that does it for us. we are out of time. here s ali and stephanie for velshi & ruhle. thank you. have a good rest of the afternoon. good afternoon to you. i m ali velshi. i m stephanie ruhle. it s wednesday, october 3rd. let s get starter. 36 years ago this happened. i had one beer. right? i had one beer. well, you think it was nope. it was one beer. oh good. how did you get home? i don t remember. how did you get there? i don t remember. where s the place? i don t remember. how many years ago was it? i don t know. i don t know. i don t know. what neighborhood was in? i don t know. where s the house? i don t know. upstairs, down stairs. where was it? i don t know. i had one beer. a man s life is in tatters. a man s life is shattered. his wife is shatters. his daughters who are beautiful, incredible, young kids, they destroy people. they want to destroy people. these are really evil people. think of your son. think of your husband. think i ve had many false accusations. i ve had it i ve had so many. and when i say it didn t happen, nobody believes me. was it appropriate for president trump to openly mock the account of christine ford last night? that s a lemming-like word you re all using, peter. that woman has been accommodated. the president s comments were just plain wrong. there s no time and no place for remarks like that. but to discuss something this sensitive in a political rally is just it s just not right. it s kind of appalling. nbc news learned the fbi could finish up the investigation at any time. the new york times reporting on a letter kavanaugh wrote in 1983. giving advice to high school classmates who would be joining him for a beach week getaway in ocean city, maryland. kavanaugh learning the friends whoever arrive to the condo first, should quote warn the neighbors we re loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific punkers among us, advise them to go about 30 miles. maybe the temperament. maybe lied about how much he drank in high school and maybe threw ice in a bar in new york. enough. vote. the senate will vote on this nomination this week. the new york state tax department is now reviewing the allegations in that epic and explosive the new york times investigation illustrating potential fraud, scams and more on the part of the trumps. turns out it was not a million dollars. but the equivalent today of $413 million the president received from his father s real estate empire over the years. the times says, quote, much of the money came to trump because he helped his parents dodge taxes in the 90s. we looked at fred trump s empire and kept going and going and going. going and going. and happening this hour, we re going to hear live from the white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders. it is the first formal white house press briefing since september 10th and as soon as it happens we ll bring it to you live. we have had the very strange full press conference at the u.n. that the press held. fbi s expanded background check could be wrapping up today. that s what nbc news is learning as the deadline looms this friday and there s a new letter released dating to kavanaugh s beach week in june 1983. between his graduation from georgetown prep and his freshman year at yale. nbc has not independently seen the letter. kavanaugh through his attorney confirmed writing it. the note mostly logistics ahead of the trip sent to his friend p.j. smith but there are some interesting passages that continue to contradict some of the judge s testimony about his drinking. for instance, kavanaugh tells smith, quote, it would probably be a good idea to warn the neighbors that we are loud, obnoxious drunks. he adds, there are, quote, prolific pukers among us. in the yearbook he called himself the biggest contributor to the beach week ralph club. he said it was him not handling spicy foods. goes on in the letter to say of the neighbors, quote, advise them to go about 30 miles. but then the letter cuts off. we don t know what this is referring to. there s another thing he mentions earlier in the letter. any girling to beg to stay there are open with open we don t we have eclipses. we don t know what he means. leaving it to the imagination of the other boys. because this behavior is nothing out of the ordinary for many teen boys at the time, the judge denied during testimony that he was a heavy drinker and in an interview, he wasn t a heavy drinker and threw up because of a weak stomach and spicy foods and the attitudes of women in high school was respectful and matters only because kavanaugh made it an issue himself. joining us is former fbi agent jack owens and linda fairstein. jack, to you first. senator cornyn said at least some part of the fbi report will need to come out. how much do we really need to see collectively to evaluate if we have enough information and do we have the right to do that? we usually only fbi level don t release any of these reports. if they re going to be released, it s going to contain only the information the fbi provided. all right. let me ask you this, linda. there are 40 people who have been identified as potentially having some information into this case. every time we see a letter or somebody tweets it s very confusing. very, very confusing to figure this out. as an investigation goes, wouldn t it make sense to investigate i don t know whether it s 440, 400, but it does seem people left out with information. yes, it certainly does. last information was they hadn t interviewed dr. ford and you can get a lot more from him. example, he says he identified kavanaugh with 100% certainty. we don t knowment it s not been brought out by either side. how did she know him? how many times before was she with him? why is she so certain? there s things to ask her that don t affect what happened in the bedroom up the stairwell but the befores, the afters, the other guys, how did she know any of them? that supports how certain she was. where this house is. i mean, i have had the privilege of working with the fbi a bit and nypd in this kind of case, every day of my career so you start with these guys who are named, the ones in the calendar, for example. if we think it s that date. where did they live at that time? this gathering was not at the house of a stranger. this gathering at the house of someone they all knew so you find those houses. and maybe you drive her by them if they still exist and maybe the fbi knocks on the door and says, let me see the interior of your house. but there are so many specifics and so many people to talk to and you certainly can t do it without the main participants. you worked in sex crimes for decades. yes. we keep hearing over and over and people saying it to me. the president said that is war on young men. what if this was your brother, your husband, your son? no one single person should ever be collateral damage and in terms of men falsely accused, it is like 2% to 7% of those overall. so in your experience, how often is it that this happens to just an unsuspecting guy? very infrequently. very infrequently. false reports are terrible and if it happened to somebody you cared about, yourself, it is a terrible thing. and we worked very hard, every prosecutor did. we were the first unit in the country. you get them out of the system. there are sort of tell-tale facts that you dig for that helps you put them apart. do you see them here? i haven t seen them in dr. ford s account. for example, julie the third swetnick. swetnick. there s something a prosecutor would go after. people are discrediting her already. why would someone go to ten parties like this? why would someone go back when they re gang raped? you d have something to dig out with her to make sure that you don t see it with christine ford s? not at all. what president trump did last night at the rally in mississippi, i started doing this when you were kids or you know, before then. in the 70s. and this was the technique. you just attack the victim. you blame the victim. you don t she remembers distinctly what happened to her in the room. this is the technique of whom? a defense attorney. a defense attorney? the worst defense attorney. and it would be ms. ruhle, you don t the day before, you don t remember how he got there. therefore, you can t remember the part that seared itself in your brain which is the physical attack. it was just so ugly to see again. it was the 1970s brought back before us. a lot of reasons to talk about why that may be happening. but, jack, ideally, we ve got a lot of criticism of how this investigation is going. how should it have gone? the bureau should take as long as necessary to gather the evidence in this case. there s always, always a deadline in a background investigation. one of the bureau s chief mandates is to vet federal judges nominees, particularly ones for the supreme court. i would as a case agent, if i had any questions, i would like to talk to judge kavanaugh and to dr. ford, talk to them about my questions and then go out and find other people to interview. get that information. and come back. to judge kavanaugh and dr. ford with further questions that i have as a result of my interviews. linda, does this letter make sense to you? i ve been to beach week in high school and college. i know plenty of boys in high school who talk up a big game of partying or hooking up with girls and it turns out it s not true. does it surprise you that brett kavanaugh would paint such an angelic picture of himself when information like this is readily available? you know, here we are again with the fff. calling himself bart. prolific pukers. no upset stomach due to spicy food. right. i think all of the evidence, his own testimony, but certainly everything that s come out since, he had a drinking problem. he could have said i was full of it in high school. i want youd to think i was a big stud. been like, seen that. right. the fact that his best friend you have to go with the evidence. have they talked to mark judge yet? if this was his best buddy and best friend, this is a guy who went off the charts alcoholic. sadly. kavanaugh calls him a great writer. i don t know that the pathetic book about the drinking is a work of literature but there are so many people to talk to. yes, kids brag and do that all the time and that has to be separated out. linda, jack, stand by. we have to go do the white house. here s the first press briefing since september 10th and sarah huckabee sanders is introducing someone. the head of the sba. for his support of the small business administration he clearly understands the value of small businesses. they re approximately 30 million of them in this country and i m happy to be their advocate. this money is used in the veteran program. we ll establish a seven-month intensive training program called emerging leaders. it is an adaptation of that program for our veterans helping them transition from military life into private sector if they desire to start their own jobs and their own companies and be entrepreneurs. once again we thank the president very much for this and it will be put to good use. thank you all very much. thank you, administrator mcmannment i would like to bring up ambassador john bolton to discuss the withdrawn from the optional protocol to the vienna convention on diplomatic convention. he ll take some questions after some remarks and i ll be up to take questions of the day. thanks. thank you, sarah. earlier today secretary of state pompeo made a very important announcement regarding the president s decision to terminate the 1955 treaty with iran. a treaty iran made a mockery of with the support for terrorism, provocative ballistic missile proliferation and maligned behavior in the middle east. it was a defeat for iran. it correctly rejected nearly all of iran s requests, but we re disappointed that the icj failed to recognize that it has no jurisdiction to issue any order of sanctions of the united states imposes to protection its own security under the treaty. instead, the court allowed iran to use it as a forum for propaganda. the iranian system has pursued a policy of hostility toward the united states, defames the central premise of the treaty. the regime cannot practice animosity and ask for amity under international law. in addition, i m announcing that the president has decided that the united states will withdraw from the optional protocol and dispute resolution to the vienna convention on diplomatic conventions. this is in connection with a case brought by the so-called state of palestine naming the united states as a defendant challenging our move of our embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. like to stress the united states remains a party to the underlying vienna convention on diplomatic relations and we expect all other parties to abide by their international only gag obligation under the convention. our actions are consistent with the decisions president ragan made in the 1980s in the wake of the suits against the united states by nicaragua to terminate the acceptance of the jurisdiction of the international court of justice under article 36-2 of the icj statute and his decision to withdraw from a bilateral treaty with nicaragua and with the decision president bush made in 2005 to withdraw from the optional protocol to the convention on consular relations following the interference in the domestic criminal justice system. so our actions today deal with the treaties and current litigation involving the united states before the international court of justice. given this history, and raunl s abuse of the icj, we ll commence a review of all international agreements that may still expose the united states to purported binding jurisdiction dispute resolution in the international court of justice. the united states will not sit idly by as baseless, politicized claims are brought against us. that concludes the statement. i d be happy to try to answer a few questions. yes, sir? thank you, mr. ambassador n. response to the actions that you have just announced, iran s foreign minister has called the u.s. an outlaw regime. i wanted to get your reaction to that and ask you if i may, mr. ambassador, of north korea with the announcement that the secretary of state is going to be traveling to pyongyang. do you trust kim jong-un? do you personally trust kim jong-un? well, with respect to questions outside the scope of our withdraw from these two treetdties, i m going to pass on those because we want to emphasize the step that is the president authorized in connection with those two treaties. you know, iran is a rogue regime. it has been a threat throughout the middle east not only for its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs but it s acted for decades as the central banker of international terrorism and it s hostile military behavior in the region today is a breach of international peace and security. so i don t take what they say seriously at all. sir? two questions for you. first, are there any practical ability to keep an interaction here in the united states, first off? second, are you at all concerned the president concerned of the message of the sense of people of iran canceling amity to be used by the our dispute is with the. ayotollah. we wish they had an ability to control their own government. on the intersection? no. won t have any affect on that. sir? canceling those two treaties, i m trying to figure out what are the open path for potential talks. do you still have with iran and actually the palestinians? well, this is really has less to do with iran and the palestinians than with the continued consistent policy of the united states to reject the jurisdiction of the international court of justice which we think is politicized and ineffective. it relates, obviously, in part to the views on the international criminal court and to the nature of so-called purported international courts to be able to bind the united states. sir? closing doors in the end. you won t be able to it s closing doors that shouldn t be open to politicized abuse which we have consistently seen in the icj. john? thank you, mr. ambassador. as you know, yesterday the french government denounced the iranian government for terror plot in paris against the national council of iranian resistance leading group opposing the ayatollahs. is that a factor of withdrawing from the two protocols? no. but i have to say what the french have done is exactly the right thing. they arrested and other european governments arrested accredited iranian diplomats, accredited iranian diplomats for conspiracy to conduct this attempted assault on the rally in paris. so, that tells you i think everything you need to know about how the government of iran views its responsibilities in connection with diplomatic relations and i hope it s a wake-up call across europe to the nature of the regime and the threat they pose. ma am? are these actions ramping up tensions? what is our intelligence when it comes to their systems? their weapons at this moment? i m not going into what our intelligence states but the issue is protecting the united states against the politicized use of these international institutions. as i have said, this goes back now close to over 30 years really in connection with u.s. policy of rejecting jurisdiction, of these courts. and it s a continuation i think in the interest of the american people. so does this further divide any kind of attempt to try to come together on what was prior to trying to look at them in closing they re bringing a lawsuit against us in the icj has nothing whatever to do to a diplomatic effort to resolve the issues. it exacerbated the differences. can you respond to the iranian foreign minister saying that the u.s. is driven by regime change? i ll say it again. maybe he ll listen this time. our policy is not regime change. but we do expect substantial change in their behavior. that s why the president has directed all of us in the government to come up with steps to reimpose the economic sanctions and to do whatever else is necessary to ensure we bring maximum pressure on the regime to stop its maligned behavior across the board, not just in the nuclear field but across the board. and given that the eu and still a part of the nuclear deal, does it make the united states efforts to try to force iran to abandon or at least try to dismantle its nuclear program any weaker? in other words, how much leverage do you have at this point? i don t think iran is dismantling the nuclear program. recent reports that are public indicate that it s increasing its activity. how do you convince them if you don t have the eu partners on board? i think we apply the maximum amount of leverage we can. we re working with our european partners, with the british, the french, the germans and others. they have chosen to remain in the iran nuclear deal. but as i ve said to them, it is like a book that was written several decades ago in this country. something like the six stages of grief. you have denial and then anger and get to acceptance. i think that s the direction of the europeans moving in. european companies in droves are fore swearing business opportunities in iran because they don t want to be caught up in the pressure campaign that we re applying. ma am? mr. ambassador, you just addressed palestinian and said it is a so-called state. is that language productive in achieving it s accurate. it s not a state. committed to the president in new york city as you know recommitted his goal to achieving a two-state solution. that s right. so, is using that sort of language productive in his goal? yeah, sure, of course. it is not a state does. it does not meet the customary international law test of statehood. it doesn t control defined boundaries. it doesn t fulfill the normal functions of government. it is not a state. it could become a state as the president said. but that requires diplomatic negotiations with israel and others so calling it the so-called state of palestinian defines what it s been. a position that the united states government pursued since 1988 whether the palestinian authority declared itself to be the state of palestinian. we don t recognize it as the state of palestine. we have consistently across democratic and republican administrations opposed the admission of palestine to the united nations as a state. it is not a state. the iaea is saying it doesn t take at face value netanyahu s claims that iran s harboring a secret atomic warehouse. do you agree with the israeli prime minister that there should be an inspection and what s your reaction to the comments? well, i haven t seen those comments. i ll say we have been our intelligence community s been reviewing the material that israel extracted from iran and going over it in quite some detail and i ll say it s extremely impressive and we have been very supportive of the israeli effort and supportive of the iaea taking new steps to follow up on it. senate just confirmed a few days ago ambassador jackie wolcott taking up her new position as u.s. ambassador to the u.n. agencies in vienna. specifically, the international atomic energy agency. and she ll be on the job shortly making our case there. sir? thank you, sir. when the president came out in support of the two-state solution at the u.n. last week, prime minister netanyahu responded that he s confident israel would retain security control of the west bank under any white house plan. is that correct or are you open to a palestinian state with no security presence from israel inside their borders? we have been working as you well know on a peace plan involving israel and the palestinians. we ll be rolling it out in due course when we decide it s the most appropriate time to do it and i m sure that will answer your question then. i see the lady with the over here. take one last question. i m sorry. i did try to recognize this gentleman. i guess i didn t point accurately enough. my apologies. thank you, mr. boomp. john kerry said yesterday he s not met with the iranians since the u.s. pulled out of the deal but before. do you think he violated the logan act by doing so? i think secretary pompeo addressed that previously and i ll stick with his remarks. thank you very much. thank you, ambassador bolton. fema in coordination with the federal communications commission will conduct a nationwide integrated public alert and warning system test of the emergency alert system. and the wireless emergency alerts later today. this will take place in two parts. the wea portion at 2:18 p.m. eastern and then the eas portion at 2:20 p.m. eastern. this is the first nationwide wea test and the fourth for the eas. the overall test will assess the operational readiness of the infrastructure for distribution of a national message and determine whether technological improvements are needed. looking ahead to monday, president trump will travel to orlando, florida, to address the international association of chiefs of police. as the largest gathering of police leaders, the president will speak about the work of the administration to protect american communities by restoring law and order, supporting local law enforcement and securing the border. lastly, on the night president trump nominated judge brett kavanaugh senator schumer declared the democrats would oppose this nomination with everything they had. before a single document was produced, a single meeting with the senator or a hearing ever scheduled, chuck schumer and the senate democrats telegraphed a strategy to throw the kitchen sink at the judge. they re opposed to judge kavanaugh s judicial views but undercutting the voice of the american people when they elected donald trump. they have questioned the legitimacy and tossed around vicious accusations of perjury. all false and baseless but now they have sunk lower as they sprang the 11th hour accusations and a full-scale assault on the integrity. this is a coordinated smear campaign. no evidence. no independent corroboration. just smears. here are just a few of the examples. chuck schumer said, i quote, there s no presumption of innocence or guilt. chris coons said kavanaugh and i quote, now bears the burden of disproving these allegations rather than dr. ford. hirono said that judge kavanaugh doesn t deserve the presumption of innocence because of his judicial views. one thing is clear. democrats want do block kavanaugh and hold the seat open until the 2020 election. this is about politics. and this is about power. pure and simple. and they have destroyed judge kavanaugh s reputation, undermined dr. ford s privacy and tried to up end the traditions of innocent until proven guilty. we ll receive and submit the fbi background. adds leetder mcconnell, the judge deserves a prompt vote and we expect him to get one. with that, i ll take your questions. john? three people most important in the process are senators murkowski, collins and flake. this morning two of those senators, flake and collins, were extremely upset that how the president described christine blasey ford at that rally in mississippi. knowing how sensitive this issue is and how important it would be if the fbi investigation shows no other compelling evidence to keep judge kavanaugh for the court, these people need to be comfortable with voting for him, why did the president say what he did last night and the way he said it? the president was stating the facts and facts included in special prosecutor rachel mitchell s report and facts in the dr. ford testimony and the senate has to make a decision on those facts and whether or not they see judge kavanaugh to be qualified to hold the position on the supreme court. every single word judge kavanaugh said is picked apart. every single word. second by second of his testimony has been picked apart. yet if anybody says anything about the accusations that have been thrown against him that s totally off limits and out ray jous. this entire process is a disgrace and the only reason that it s been that way is because senate democrats didn t do this the way it should have been done and they circumvented the system. frankly, they have undermined the entire judicial branch by the way they acted and the inappropriateness of the way they controlled them. sorry. go ahead. pointing out inconsistencies in testimony is one thing but the tone with which the president did it last night had an affect. is the president concerned that he may have put the votes in danger doing what he did last night? i don t think so. the president is very confident in his nominee as he stated time and time again. and we expect the senate to vote and we hope they do that soon. zeke? two quick questions. first, is the white house having response to the purported mailings to officials and the president been briefed on the investigation and the updates? the president certainly made aware but i would refer you to u.s. secret service to respond to those. do you have any comment on the meeting with deputy attorney general rod rosenstein? again, we don t have any updates on that front. if there s a meeting we ll let you know. they continue to work together and both show up every day and do their jobs. one more back on kavanaugh. you said democrats for undermining dr. ford s privacy. are you trying to have it both ways? on stage last night, essentially mocking her, her testimony? not at all. we re pointing out the hi pom sy. none of this would be taking place if the democrats did this in normal order and not exploited dr. ford and attacked judge kavanaugh in such a public manner and handled completely differently and the senate democrats hold all of the responsibility for that process. josh? the new york times reported yesterday that the president had engaged in outright tax fraud throughout the 90s with suspect tax schemes and basically getting more money from his parents than he said. you rebutted the story. can you explain what is inaccurate about that story? if there s anything that s inaccurate about it? totally false accusation. i won t go through every line of a very boring 14,000-word story. one thing the article did get right is it showed that the president s father actually had a great deal of confidence in him. in fact, the president brought his father into a lot of deals and made a lot of money together. so much so his father said that everything he touched turned to gold. the president s lawyer addressed some of the specific claims. and walked through how the allegations of fraud and tax evasion are 100% false and highly defamatory. there s no fraud or tax evasion by anyone. he went on much further and i would encourage you to read every word of his statement which completely undercuts the accusations made by the new york times. does the president s taxes still under audit? a number of the taxes are. from the 90s and early 2000s? i can get back do you. going do provide any of his tax returns? i m not aware of plan to do so. thank you, sarah. it was a couple of days that the president called christine blasey ford a very credible witness. very credible, very compelling but now he s basically making her out to be a liar. which is it? certainly the testimony by dr. ford was compelling. but you can t make this decision based on emotion. it has to be based on fact. they have to determine what the facts are of this case. that s one of the reasons that they asked and begged for the fbi and delayed a hearing vote so they could get more facts on this case. we expect the fbi to turn those facts over to the senate and they can make a determination based on that. that s all we re asking for. you said that he was stating the facts at the campaign rally but this was so much more than stating the facts. this was a full-scale campaign rally assault on a woman who says she s a victim of sexual assault. what do you get out of that? is that to help kavanaugh s nomination? rally the base? going to help with the midterms? like what s the point in doing that? again, i dispute that it wasn t anything other than the president stating facts and facts laid out in the prosecutor s memo that she put forward to the senate. each of the things he called out were laid out in the memo. there s conflicting feelings on capitol hill right now over whether the fbi investigation into judge kavanaugh to be made public or not. does the white house commit to transparency on this effort and let the american people see the full rein of the investigation? look. we have been very open and transparent through the process. the president ordered the fbi investigation and as allowed the senate to actually control and dictate the terms and scope of the investigation. we re continuing to do that. and allowing the fbi to actually do it as they do best and that s their jobs to do this investigation. on declassification and not spoken in a while. the president has said i missed you guys, too. the president said he d refer the process to the doj inspector general but he wants to see that happen quickly. what does quickly mean? will we see the documents before the midterm elections? i m not going to walk through a time line but we re continuing to work through that process and when we have an update on it we ll let you know. alex? why did you say earlier this year that michael cohen was acting on his own in an arbitration proceeding to prevent stormy daniels from doing a tv interview when the president directed that? i won t get into a back and forth. that s an issue for the president s outside counsel. i direct you there for an answer. john? thank you, sarah. two brief questions. first. the impact of the president s comments in mississippi notwithstanding it is a fact that senators collins, murkowski, flake and manchin are undecided votes critical to the vote. are there any plans for the president to call them between now and next week and make one final pitch, perhaps explain his remarks a little bit more? i m not aware of a scheduled call and we have been in close contact with the number of members and we ll continue to do so up until the vote. blake? sorry. go ahead. i was going to ask is to the president s early supporters in the house, collins of new york and duncan hunter of california, are running under indictment. there are rules of the national republican congressional committee barring support for members who are under indictment. does the president still support both of them for re-election? i can t get into a lot of details. one, for hatch act violation. but also, with an ongoing investigation i m not going to be able to comment here. thank you. as the briefing was beginning, bloomberg put out an article about the fbi background investigation and bloomberg is reporting right now that the fbi h hasn t interviewed dr. ford or brett kavanaugh because the white house didn t give investigators clear authority to do so. is that the case? as we have said several times, the approximate s indicated that whoever the fbi deems necessary to interview he s fine with that. but he s also asked that the senate determine the scope of what they need in order to make a decision on whether they vote kavanaugh up or down. i can also tell you that both kavanaugh, judge kavanaugh and dr. ford were questioned in the most public way possible by the members of the senate who are ultimately the ones who have to make the determination on whether or not they vote for judge kavanaugh. if they had additional questions for them, they had a time and opportunity to ask those. does the white house does the white house believe it s appropriate for these two we will allow aiesha? go ahead. thank you. so president trump talked a lot yesterday about this issue of being concerned about men being guilty before being thought of guilty before being proven innocent and this idea of due process but in the past with the central park five he put out an ad basically calling for the death penalty before they had been found convicted and after they were exonerated he still basically said that they may be guilty. and even as president he s talked about presided over rallies of people saying lock her up talking about hillary clinton. so i guess is there a disconnect of when the president is interested in due process for some and not others? not at all. the president encouraged the senate to hear dr. ford s testimony in the same way of judge kavanaugh s. he s simply stating the fact we re a country of law and order, still believes that you re innocent until proven guilty and see that process go through in its entirety and should be on a fair playing field. that s simply the only point he s making. go ahead. central park five was guilty. does he feel that now? i have to look back. that s a real question in the midst of this. sorry. dave, go ahead. the president has taken this moment to say that he s been affected personally. by all of these allegations. and he s picking and choosing just as the question was. he said that the central park five was guilty and then he s made bill clinton guilty. has he sidecided to change his mind it s interesting you bring up bill clinton. nobody wants to hear those accusers voices heard but happy to hear the others. dave, go ahead. does the dave, go ahead. still talking to them. several times in the last week the president has tried to reassure voters that he ll protect people with preexisting conditions from losing their health insurance. is that a sign he s worried that republicans are losing the argument on health care in this election? the president wants to protect people. i think it s pretty simple. he said that he supports that and make sure that that s not something that gets lost. jim? sarah? go back to this it was pretty obvious that the president was mocking christine blasey ford last night. he said how did you get home? i don t remember. how did you get there? i don t remember. where is this place? i don t remember. he seemed to be to the delight of the crowd there in mississippi mocking her repeatedly. is there something wrong with the president of the united states mocking somebody that said she was sexually assaulted? it seems to me he was stating facts laid out in the testimony. every single word that judge kavanaugh said is looked at, examined, picked apart by most of you in this room and no one is looking at whether or not the accusations made are corroborated, whether there s evidence to support them. every person she named said they don t recall or wasn t there. every single bit of evidence and facts that we have seen in this moment have supported judge kavanaugh s case and the president simply pointing out the facts of the matter and that is what the senate will have to use to determine whether or not they vote to support him or not. are you saying are you saying judge kavanaugh s the victim in this? i think dr. ford and judge kavanaugh are victims at the hands of the democrats. i think it s disgraceful what they have done and exploited this process. they exploited dr. ford. they re exploiting all of the women that have come out to make any type of accusation. this isn t the process to have been done and everybody deserves to be heard and includes judge kavanaugh and should be part of the process and the facts have to be looked at and you have to look at the prosecutor s memo. those are where you see all of those facts laid out and makes a compelling case. john, go ahead. don t have any problem i don t have any problem stating facts, no. john. thank you, sarah. i know that s something you probably do have a problem with but i don t. sarah, we state the facts and i think many occasions when you don t state the facts if i may respond. john, go ahead. thank you, sarah. five days ago on friday the president when asked about dr. ford s testimony before the senate said that she was a very credible witness and saw different tone, different substance last night in those remarks to that campaign rally audience in mississippi. why the change in tone? and does the president believe what he said on friday that she was a very credible witness? i ve addressed this a number of times. the president also said she had a very compelling story. nobody disagrees with that. hold on. credible part. nobody disagrees with that but the president stating the facts laid out in the testimony and that the prosecutor laid out in her memo. at the end of the day the senate has to make a decision on where they stand. go ahead. still credible? does the president still believe that dr. ford s testimony was credible when she testified under oath? the president believes that judge kavanaugh should be confirmed. he has a lot of confidence in him and like to see a vote to see that happen. president trump seemed to link the credibility of a claim with how much time passed since the individual made it. president trump has also called the sex abuse scandal in the catholic church very sad but many of those victims waited decades before coming forward. why does the president seem to assume men who are claiming abuse but wait to come forward are telling the truth but not women? that s just completely untrue. the president has supported, again, throughout this entire process dr. ford s ability to come forward and tell her story. he s the one that ordered the fbi to do a background further supplemental background check to look into the allegations that the senate deems necessary before making a vote. he s also been more than happy to give a platform to the accusers that have come out against then president bill clinton. to say that he s never sided with women is just ridiculous. he has implied that they re coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden and cited that as a reason why even though he s called for an investigation he s saying that because after judge kavanaugh is in public service and in the public eye for over 26 years, been through six background investigations, now part of a seventh, that this is the first time you re ever hearing of any of these allegations. the fact that through all of those background checks not even an inkling of any of those things came up and a top prosecutor for ken starr in a major public position. none of these things came up. nominated to be on the federal bench, none of these came up. he s been a public figure and a lot of opportunity for the people to raise this issue and it never has. and now, at the 11th hour, the democrats have exploited this process and done so publicly and it s a shame and he s simply calling that out. thanks so much, guys. we ll see you soon. okay. press conference, first one by sarah huckabee sanders at the white house since september 10th. the president did give a press conference at the united nations and a lot of questions of the president s remarks of christine blasey ford yesterday at a rally. the president s been very active with rallies and things like gatherings like that recently. questions of whether it was right to politicize that and the president calling for an investigation earlier saying that christine blasey ford s testimony was credible and he thought so. and then mocking her. uh-huh. a lot of questions of the new york times alleging decades of tax fraud, tax schemes among the trump family. donald trump s father fred trump and the siblings. sarah sanders really didn t want to speak about it or boring very boring story. i ll speak personally. i didn t find it boring at all and said one thing it showed that donald trump s father fred had complete trust in his son s business accumen. that wasn t the case. if you actually looked at what it was, it was a tax avoidance and fred trump gifted the money to the children than give it to the tax man. those are two different things and one point i want to say in the 90s it was fred trump coming the rescue of his son donald trump who was facing pending personal and corporate bankruptcy so that s a misstatement by sarah sanders right there and i mean, just think about this, ali. if you think about the shear volume, the amount of money, the amount of real estate assets in new york city that donald trump has gifted by his father, it s amazing. if he had just sat on them, literally did nothing, he would be the real estate king of new york. you could just do that. have real estate in new york and just not sit on it like a chicken with an egg. kristen welker in the briefing room right now. with us by the way are legal analyst danny cevallos and linda fairstein. kristen, first of all, a lot of questions in there. many of which sarah huckabee sanders wasn t going to answer. she was defiant to the questions of president trump s comments last night regarding christine blasey ford, a number of reporters said that he was mocking ford. she really disputed that characterization. she said, look, he wasn t mocking her. he was laying out the facts. essentially trying to lay out the fact that she wasn t able to answer some of the questions that she got while she was testifying under oath. she was also asked repeatedly about that tax story that you re talking about. i thought it was striking when she was pressed on whether or not the president would, in fact, use this moment to release his tax returns. no indication that that is going to happen. according to sarah sanders but i anticipate to get more questions about that. you re absolutely right. she said this story was totally false. it was boring. and tried to put the highlight on the relationship between president trump and his late father. but again, most of the questions centered around christine blasey ford and the fact that you had a number of senators coming out and saying that they disagreed with the president s comments. they disagreed with his attacks against dr. ford and sarah sanders essentially asked whether or not that could jeopardize his own nomination she disputed that that was the case. but there is no doubt that even republicans have come out and said that that s not the way to talk about a sexual assault victim and dr. ford. what will the political implications be? is president trump doing that for political reasons? sarah sanders asked about that, as well. she disputed that but bottom line this is a president who has changed his tone. he went from saying that dr. ford was credible to last night before a crowd of thousands essentially, a lot of people would say, mocking her. sarah sanders certainly on the defense today. this is her first briefing she had in several weeks so notable for that reason, as well, guys. all right. kristen, stay with us. danny, linda, stick around. i want do bring in the conversation someone who s at the brett kavanaugh confirmation, alyssa confirmation. alyssa, you ve had a front row seat to all of this. you were there for the confirmation hearing. the cardboard version of you was there many the saturday night live rendition of the hearing. you ve watched this all week. you ve watched president trump turn from she is credible. let s listen to her to i m going to call it out an all out assault and now just moments ago sarah sanders defending it. what s your take? i m filled with a lot of rage. it started last night. i couldn t sleep at all last night. i can t believe this is where we are. we are making distinct about what we want to be as a country. we re making distinct choices of the people we re putting in positions of power whether it be trump or kavanaugh or our institutions. sexual abuse has been institutionalized in this country. i don t think we can allow another generation of women and children to feel as though their government isn t listening, that doesn t care and they are invisible. i m filled with rage. for sarah to say he was stating facts. the sky blue. i can state that fact. if i do it totally a little off, like the sky is blue, i m mocking someone that may have said that. tone is everything right now. we are making a choice. the republican party is making a choice to back this man and this administration in this time, right now, right here and history will reflect upon this time as being devastating. i will tell you this. 4 d 34 days till the midterm election. there were 800,000 new voters on voter registration day. i think women, i think survivors, i think men are not going to allow this to continue. we re going to take back the house and maybe the senate. you said people are not women are not getting support from the government. it almost seems like the opposite based on comments the president made, lindsey graham has been making. the president said it s a scary men. one out of every six women will become the victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime. this not false rape basic cu ac. they are being the opposite of supporting. i will also add that 80% of victims of sexual assault do not report at all. we re talking about a very minuscule point of women that are falsely reporting. also, men are having a hard time right now. i mean, come on. i feel as though he s completely belittling the intelligence of the american people. he s not doing it by accident and neither is lindsey graham. they are speaking to a huge portion of the population who agree with them. what do you think about that in. do they agree with him or is he using some sort of cult like force to try to make them see that? i m not sure if you were to have a real conversation with any american whether they be democrat or republican, that they would side with this kind of behavior where we ve reached a low we re mocking people and their stories of hurt and of pain. who are we? who do we want to be as a country? what are we trying to project of the young people of this world? to the young people of this country. it s heartbreaking to me. i think we yes, we re in a time that s very gray. this is the metoo generation. what is happening right now is we re defining boundaries. boundaries that have never been defined before. as trump might say that white men have it very difficult right now, i m saying that women, young people, have had it difficult for generations and generations and generations. we will not be silenced any longer. if that means that men have a hard time right now, then i m sorry. this is the way the pendulum has to shift for us to have the equality and security in our country and our societal views. we cannot stand for it anymore. alyssa milano, thank you very joining us. thank you for giving me the opportunity. we re going take a quick break. the dow closed yesterday at a record high for the 14th time this year and it s just under another historic first. 27,000. here is a live look at the dow right now. remember, when you take uncertainty out of picture, which is what happened with the new renegotiated nafta, that s a positive for markets. we re going to call it nafta 2.0. that s what it is. machine it nafta 2.0. that s what it is. machin or something woven into the dna of the doers, the determined, the driven? and while the bar keeps getting higher, ambition gives us the power to tackle any obstacle. opening the doors to bigger leaps, larger goals and financial freedom. sofi. we stand for ambition. each of us is different. and each cancer is different. how it reacts, how it evades and adapts. and how we attack it. that s why at cancer treatment centers of america, we use diagnostic tools that help us better understand what drives each person s cancer. this is what we mean by outsmarting cancer. and for some, it may uncover more effective treatment options. like christine bray. after battling ovarian cancer for several years, her test results revealed a potential treatment not considered previously a drug therapy that targeted her tumor. today, christine s metastatic cancer is in remission. this is precision cancer treatment. because at cancer treatment centers of america. we re not just fighting cancer. we re outsmarting it. visit cancercenter.com and schedule an appointment with our cancer care specialists today. you ll make my morning, buty the price ruin my day.ou?
