his comments were aimed directly at president bill clinton, amid the monica lewinsky scandal. and if these comments prove anything, it s that hypocrisy in politics is alive and well. that will wrap things up for me this hour. kasie hunt is back with us for the 3:00. kasie, i don t know what mike pence is thinking when he stares adoringly at the speak as the president speaks, but i wonder if any of that is going through his head? reporter: let s just say that some of the behavior that we have, has been alleged against this president, is not necessarily anything that the mike pence that i have covered for many years would have ever approved of. katy, it s nice to see you. you too. iam kasie hunt in for ali velshi. rick gates, former trump deputy campaign manager, and manafort s longtime business partner, has just concluded his testimony and for the first time in the trial, we re hearing about manafort s time with the trump campaign. gates is cooperating with the special counsel s office, after pleading guilty to lying to investigators and he s not holding the back. he just confirmed previous reporting by nbc news that paul manafort promised a friend of his a job in the trump white house. for more on this, we re going to go now to ken dilanian, nbc s national security and intelligence reporter. he is, again, outside the courthouse for us. ken, tell us a little bit about what these revelations mean in context to the case and what do we expect this afternoon? reporter: that friend, kasie, is a man named steven caulk, and he s a chicago banker with, and manafort is accused of defrauding his bank as part of a $16 million loan. yet manafort was trying to get him a job as the secretary of the army in the trump administration, and there was an e-mail introduced into evidence from december of 2016. this is well after paul manafort had left the trump campaign and after donald trump was elected president. and the e-mail referenced the no? reporter: yeah, this is huge for them. and it looks like it s going terribly for manafort. there s a mountain of evidence against him now, and it seems like their only chance is to somehow impugn rick gates. but even if they do that and even if the jury discounts everything that gates has said, there s a host of other evidence, including manafort s own tax records and the testimony of his accountants and bookkeepers about these foreign bank accounts, where he had millions of dollars that he didn t pay taxes on, kasie. reporter: ken dilanian in alexandria, virginia, thanks for keeping an eye on it, what seems to be a fascinating courtroom to be in. thank you, as always. for more on this trial, i want to bring in glenn kirschner, a former federal prosecutor who spent his 30-year career here in d.c. glenn, rick gates has not been shy about saying, look, these are crimes that i committed. he s even gone out there and said, i told these prosecutors about crimes that i committed, that they didn t even know about before we sat down. what what s the best outcome Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. of this. surprised it s not a more colorful term, to be perfectly honest with you. but perhaps there is one you can t say on tv. occasional, we use more colorful terms, but not here. glenn kirschner, thank you so much for your time and your insights today. really appreciate it. turning now to ohio. quote, we need change. the words of a democratic voter in ohio s 12th district. the last special election before november s midterms. this area was once solidly red, but the political climate might have changed enough to flip this district blue. and the results have major implications for both parties. president trump has campaigned for the gop candidate, state senator troy balderson. trump won the state by 11 points less than two years ago. but the president s support could now be a big liability. that s because the democratic candidate, danny o connor, has panted himself as the moderate in the race, and this is an area that former presidential candidate john kasich, a fierce trump critic, once represented. as politico sums it up, anything short of a 5 to 7-point win over upscale suburbs tend to be college educated, white-collar professional class. this area is a third of the population, a third of the vote is going to come out of this. right here, this small area. this is the blue part of the district. and it s become really, really blue, because of donald trump. you see, trump lost it by nearly 20 points to hillary clinton. that was a huge change. he ran the presidential election here in this same area in 2012. it was almost a tie. obama won by a couple of points over romney. absolutely exploded in the age of trump, so this is the epicenter of democratic energy here. that sort of suburban resistance to donald trump. that is the story here. take a look outside of that area, in a little bit of the suburbs up here in delaware. but take a look, you know, the rest of the district here, it s the exact opposite story. you are talking about blue collar, tends to be a blue collar, non-college whites, you know, rural in some cases, small cities. talk about zanesville here. here s a perfect kpamexample. talk about the trump surge in places like this, this county, overwhelmingly that they needed to turn out to vote, but that republicans, quite frankly, didn t, and that some of those attacks on social security and medicare issues had been working with seniors. what are you hearing on the ground? and what effects did trump s visit have there? that s another thing these sources told me that, they really needed him to just make sure everybody was aware that they needed to go vote. reporter: yeah, kasie, prior to trump s visit here, i think you saw a reversal of what would be the normal midterm dynamic, where republicans tend to be a lot more dialled in on midterm elections than democrats are in this special election. democrats were fired up in this one from the word go, and republicans needed a reason to get behind their candidate, troy balderson, who has been a state senator here for some time. he s got a lot of experience, but has been a bit of a lackluster campaigner. he hasn t exactly set the world on fire. the trump visit here did help republicans in that sense. it galvanized their voters a little bit, got them to make sure they were paying attention, and make sure they could connect balderson, who they only sort of care about, to trump, who is the core of the republican base right now. whether that had the flip side effect of amping up democrats a little bit more is tough to say. there s nobody in this district certainly that i ve talked to who was somehow on the fence about donald trump before that visit. but the president has galvanized voters on the left, too, and what will make this left or break it, will be whether the president s existence, whether the way he and washington, d.c. have operated over the last year and a half has turned off enough of those mitt romney republicans or conservative democrats, who don t typically vote, and got them out to the polls. i talked to some folks like that earlier today. here s what i ve been hearing. it s kind of, i don t know, embarrassing, i think, for all of us to see the kind of shenanigans that are going on at the highest level of government right now. this is really more about sending a message, you know? the republicans have to wake up, you know? if they re not if they re not going to be a break on this guy, then we vote for the other side. i m really not happy with the way politics are going in our country right now and i really believe we need to change. reporter: so kasie, with the cavi caveat that it s all anecdotal, what seems to be connecting with voters in this district is running against washington. that worked for donald trump in 2016. danny o connor seems to be the candidate who has captured that energy now. we will know tonight, hopefully, whether he captured enough of it to be the first democrat to represent this district in his own lifetime. hopefully, indeed. steve kornacki, if you re still with me, can i get a little preview of how the night s going to look? i know we re all excited to see you at the big board, but what is one place? if we re looking at one county, one spot on the map as a leading indicator here, where should we be watching? yeah, look, i think delaware county. this is just north of columbus here, about a quarter of the vote is going to come out of it. that was a bad number for republicans. republicans should be winning that by a lot more. this is where trump came and had that rally over the weekend. if the republicans in balderson is in trump territory here or even worse, that s a very bad sign for republicans. delaware county, the waukesha of tonight s congressional race. steve kornacki and garrett haake, thanks to you both, really appreciate it. so what does this tell us about the upcoming 2018 midterms in november? for that, i am joined by connie schultz, she is a pulitzer prize winning journalist and a former columnist for the cleveland plain dealer, now a nationally syndicated column iist. full disclosure, she is married to sherrod brown. connie, great to see you again. i really appreciate you being here. i m interested to know what you think, as someone who spends time on the ground, thinking through, understanding that the political dynamics of the state of ohio. this is a place that has often been the bellwether, so goes ohio, so goes the country. but there was some conversation after the election of 2016 that perhaps it would go for republicans and no longer be a swing state. what is this race that we re going to watch tonight tell you about the state of play there? and where do you think things sit in ohio? well, casie, first of all, i want to say, i don t usually come midday, but i have such high regard for your work as a journalist, which is why i m here right now. thank you so much. i really appreciate it. sure. back in 2004, stay with me for just a moment, when i was still at the plain dealer, we did a series. i wasn t part of it, but it was a huge amount of reporting called the five ohios, and it was called that for a reason. you can t look at one election in the state of ohio and make any determination about how the state s going to go, because it is a bellwether state, always. and i was listening to steve and the other reporter, i m sorry, i m drawing a blank on the name. garre garrett haake. thank you. i couldn t see his face, so it was harder. no worries. there are substantiative issues at play. health care looms so large. and a lot of suburban women care about health care. the other thing we re not talking about at all, but suburban women are starting to respond to the family separations. so i think that could be in play, as well. keep in mind that balderson, just last month, said he wanted to raise the eligibility age for medicare and social security. and, of course, that was a bomb that blew up for him. and he s tried to dial that back and he has his mother in an ad for him right now. but o connor has an ad that compares him to kasich in terms of his willingness to work with others. and supporting what governor kasich, a republican did on medicaid. so you can t look at this one district and predict what s going to happen around the country, certainly. and not around the state. but, again, this has not been as was already mentioned, this congressional district has not been in play for, what, three decades, almost. and that it is in play now has a lot to do with how people are feeling about these substantiative issues, certainly about trump, as well. and keep in mind, the day before trump came to ohio, he went after lebron james. and you don t have to live in the cleveland area to care that the president was attacking lebron james. he s popular around the country. he crosses all ethnic and racial lines, economic lines, and people all across the state love him. so that was not the smartest move for him. and then you have balderson yesterday talking about, he was in zanesville staying, we don t want people in franklin county determining who s you know, my immediate reaction when i heard that was, wait a minute, i ve got we ve got two daughters, four grandchildren, two sons-in-laws we happen to be very fond of and they all live in franklin county. what s wrong with franklin county? and it made me realize, there are a lot of people in zanesville who know or love someone in franklin county right now. it was such a tone-deaf move, i m still trying to understand how he could have said that. he must have really tired and hot. well, we certainly have been dealing with a heat wave. can i ask you, you know, i think for a lot of us who covered you know, i was on the road for the 2016 campaign, but there was a lot of assumptions about who what the outcome of that was going to be. and there s been a lot of reflection since about, you know, how to make sure that those kinds of mistakes aren t made again. i m wondering, is there anything that you re picking up on the ground in ohio that you think we in the national media should be paying attention to? the local trends, the feelings among your neighbors, people who have switched, who may have surprised you. is there anything that you think we should be watching in the next couple of months? well, i live in the city of cleveland. so i m not surprised, particularly, in our neighborhood, our surrounding area is predominantly african-american. so i m not surprised, because it s been very consistent. you know, we have the same conversations over and over again of real substance, but the concerns haven t changed that much. what i m hearing particularly from ohio, i go back to these suburban moms in particular who supported trump. some of whom did not. who voted for obama, but didn t want to vote for hillary clinton, they voted for donald trump. and two themes keep bubbling up. number one, even if they still somewhat support trump, they don t want everyone else to behave like him. they don t want a governor like trump or a member of congress like trump or a mayor like trump, right? but again, i go to the family separations issue. i don t think we re paying enough attention to how much this has affected a lot of voters, particularly women. who, we ve all seen the images. i mean, we ve all been a child, right? let s start that. and if you ve ever loved a child and you watch that, and i don t think we re paying enough attention to that, yet. that could have a long-term impact, depending on how much the democrats bring it up, i think. connie schultz, thank you so much for your insights today and thanks for coming on. sure. coming up, what some are calling junk insurance. the new, inexpensive plans being pushed by the trump administration in an effort to undermine obamacare. we ll explain who really pays for those. but first, an nbc news exclusive. president trump s next immigration target. legal immigrants. the details of his plan, a plan that could leave $20 million people in limbo, up after the break. you re watching msnbc. p. 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. boost® high protein. be up for life. legal immigrants to become citizens, affecting millions of people. and they plan to do it by going after anyone who has used certain public welfare programs. nbc s national security and justice reporter, julia ainsley joins me now with more on her exclusive reporting. first of all, julia, great reporting. some of these programs include they re essentially targeting people who have used obamacare, the children s health insurance program, food stamps. can you just explain a little bit about what the changes would be and also, how is it that the trump administration can do this basically unilaterally? yeah, that s a great question. i was asking myself the same thing. so i was directed back to this law that was passed in the 1800s, if you can think ellis island days, that think that immigrants coming in who wanted citizenship, it should be considered whether or not they would be a public charge. whether they would be a drain on the american economy rather than supporting it. that has been broadened over the years. and even now, most immigrants who are on social security insurance, ssi, what we think of as classic welfare, cash assistance, they would have a hard time gettinging citizenship. generally, they want to see you prove that you are table to work here if you re getting a green card or moving from green card to citizenship. what is changing is how much they are broadening this. they re going after so many social programs that could be potential disqualifiers. that would be like, if you ve used the insurance exchange that s provided through obamacare, if you ve had children s health insurance, which in a lot of states is given to people well above the poverty line, or if you ve used food stamps. some versions even included heat assistance. a lot of things that are, yes, given to people who might be falling through the cracks, and who need a social safety net, but also things given to people who could be making as much as 250% of the poverty line. julia ainsley, thanks so much for shining a light on this. kasie. coming up, michigan s race for governor is testing the limits of the left. one candidate, gretchen whitmore, we ll talk to her about her strategy and her party s internal struggle in the primary. stay right here with msnbc. dear foremothers, your society was led by a woman, who governed thousands. commanded armies. yielded to no one. when i found you in my dna, i learned where my strength comes from. my name is courtney mckinney, and this is my ancestrydna story. now with 2 times more geographic detail than other dna tests. order your kit at ancestrydna.com inside your arteries. for plaque which builds up as you age- and increases your risk for stroke and cardiovascular disease. and by getting them through this package, you re saving over 50%. so call today and consider these numbers: for just $149 you ll receive five screenings that could reveal what your body isn t telling you. i m gonna tell you that was the best $150 i ever spent in my life. life line screening. the power of prevention. call now to learn more. not in this house.? cause that s no ordinary family. that s your family. which is why you didn t grab just any cheese. you picked up new kraft expertly paired cheddar and swiss for eggs. beat that! kraft. family greatly. to the polls today. kansas, michigan, missouri, and washington are also in play, as democrats remain just 23 seats shy of controlling the house. but there s another story line shaping up in the gubernatorial races. as the new york times points out, the surge of women running for office could be the biggest breakthrough in america s gubernatorial races. as the times writes, quote, nowhere is the challenge as great as it is in the midwest, which was the last region to elect a female governor. and where a woman has not been elected since jennifer granholm of michigan, a democrat, left office in 2011. with me now is one of those channelers, gretchen whitmore. she s hoping to be michigan s democratic nominee in the state s gubernatorial race. gretchen, thanks very much for being here. i want to start about asking you about the late-breaking dynamics in this race. your progressive challenger releasing a medicare-for-all single-payer health care plan that seems to have at the very least caught the interest of bernie sanders, who s endorsed him, and gotten a lot of attention in the waning weeks. what s your health care plan and why do you disagree with your opponent? listen, i m not running or disagreeing with anyone. i m running on a real plan and a real record to get things done for people in michigan. michiganders aren t interested in labels or an outsider coming in. we want a governor who can solve problems. and as the senate zmdemocratic leader, i had a proud progressive leader. that s why everyone from the uaw to planned parenthood have endorsed me. so do you support medicare for all? i support getting everyone covered, absolutely. universal coverage is everyone s goal here. but as the one person who negotiated medicaid expansion in my state, 680,000 people got coverage because of the work that i did. we re not going to stop until everyone in my state is covered. and i m not waiting on washington, d.c. to solve our problems here in michigan. do you think medicare for all is an unrealistic plan? do you do you think it couldn t be paid for, for example? well, listen, it would require two waivers from the trump administration, a constitutional amendment, and $100 billion. i m not going to wait on washington, d.c. i think we in michigan got to move forward. we need a governor who s actually going to be able to get in there and get things done. our water we have a water crisis in michigan that is not over. the devos agenda has been destroying the public school system in michigan. as a mom with kids in our public schools, these are the things that i know how to get done. and i don t accept excuses in my house and i don t except them from my government, either. and i m ready to get to work and solve these problems. do you think that the democratic socialist label is helpful for democrats who are trying to get elected in a state like michigan, that voted for president trump? you know what, michigan is that kind of a state. we go back and forth, we really do. and people ask me less about whether or not i am a democrat. they ask me what my plan is, how we re going to solve these problems. i think that, you know, having getting caught up in those labels is really, you know, a distraction. we ve got to talk about cleaning up drinking water. people in flynt still don t have clean drinking water. our schools used to be the best around and now we re in the bottom ten in our country. this was the place people came to from around the world for a good job. and all of the attacks on labor have made it harder and harder for working people to get ahead. these are the things that i stay focused on. and that s why, i think, my campaign is one that s been able to build a real coalition and a place where progressives have been able to come home to, because we got to start getting things done. and it starts with winning this election. why do you think president trump won michigan in 2016? i think there s been a lot of analysis, but it was really a low turnout year, it was. and michiganders are frustrated. there are a lot of people in my state that are hurting. they haven t seen a raise in ten years, or they re working a couple of minimum wage jobs and cannot put food on the table or get ahead and they re frustrated. that s why the campaign that i ve run has stayed really focus on the dinner table issues. sure. if you re worried about your child s education, you know, nothing else matters. and that s why that s where i m going to start fixing problems. hillary clinton did lose in 2016 in michigan twice, first to bernie sanders in the primary in a surprise and then again to president trump. so, your point about low turnout taken, but at the same time, clearly, there s something going on in the state that has people looking for something different, something outside of the establishment. and i m just wondering how you ve thought about that in the context of your campaign? you know, i ve been the leader of the resistance during my time in the legislature. and despite that, always being in the minority party, i was able to deliver health care coverage to 680,000 people in my state. i do think it s time for change here in michigan. our leaders have failed us. and that s why i m running. that s why i m leading with a real plan to clean up our drinking water. with a plan to get people into high-wage skills. to fix our schools by fighting back on the devos agenda here in michigan. do you think that there s anything that president trump has done in office that you would commend him for? well, you know, he has given lip service, anyway, to rebuilding the sue lox, which is in the upper peninsula, is the gateway for so much international commerce. our state depends on that gateaway remaining open and it s dangerously old. so if he actually starts to take steps towards doing that, i would be grateful, and certainly everyone in my state would be. gretchen whitmore, running to be the democratic nominee in michigan s race for governor, we ll be watching closely. thank you so much for your time today. thank you, kasie. joining me now is sahil kapur, a national political reporter for bloomberg politics. sahil, let s talk a little bit about this michigan governor s race to start. it does seem as though it feels to me like a familiar dynamic, and maybe i ve overlearned the lessons of having covered bernie sanders surprise win in michigan on the ground, but, it does seem like the energy of voters across the map is with people who are from outside of the political system. right, there s that spectrum, there s the outsider/insider spectrum, and there is the ideological spectrum. and i think this resembles the bernie sanders versus hillary clinton proxy battle in a way, because that was a genuine difference of opinion in what direction to go, how to campaign, how to think about issues inside the democratic party. you have the center-left candidate in hillary clinton, who gretchen whitmore sounded very much in the mold of, you know, kind of, remember hillary clinton s phrase, i m a progressive who likes to get things done? yes, indeed. that s almost exactly how she s campaigning, where you have abdul sayyed who s running a as a progressive candidate on medicare for all, a much bolder, loftier vision, even if it may not be achievable in the near future, some progressives believe that s the way to galvanize the base. the big x factor is women. the democratic base have decided to turn a corner and they want more women in power. that s totally understand and agree with that particular point. and you know, one thing that our first read team has looked at, they ve they rate, under this headline, in democratic primaries, it s often bernie sanders versus emily s list. and this is exactly to your point. the democratic advocacy group that backs pro-choice, pro-abortion rights and female political candidates, back in 2016, there wasn t much love lost between bernie sanders and emi emily s list, and fast forward to now, the two factions are facing off more and more, and that s recently because sanders in races that feature women have often endorsed a rival male candidate instead. what do you make of that? the interesting thing about brn bernie sanders and his whole push is he s not losing a lot of primaries. his primaries are not always victorious, but he s clearly winning the battle of ideas, even when he loses primaries. the candidate that s more center left who wins that primary ends up campaigning and running and kind of trying to pursue very progressive ideas. so that s the tectonic shift i think we see in the democratic party. it s going to be very interesting to see how it plays out in the next presidential primary. i totally agree with you. on one other race i m watching today, kris kobach, the gubernatorial primary in kansas, what does the landscape there look like, in a very deeply red state if kobach pulls that off? kobach seems to be the favorite. he s got that trump endorsement, which is very valuable in republican primaries. we ll see how it works in the general election. his opponent, the incumbent governor right now who took over for sam brownback is essentially portraying his his campaign is essentially portraying him as the only one who can defeat democrats in the general election. that s a remarkable thing to say in often is deep, red state. who is basically trying to signal to voters, this guy is so toxic, he s a republican who could lose in kansas right now. that s the battle, but i would still say kobach is probably the favorite. and there s the x factor, greg orman running as an independent. sahil coo pookapur, thank you s for your insights today. thank you. up next, president trump s latest move to dismantle obamacare. he s pushing a type of health care coverage that some are calling junk insurance. after the break, we ll break down what the plans really cover. you re watching msnbc. ade for better things than rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist move to another treatment, ask if xeljanz xr is right for you. xeljanz xr is a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough it can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don t start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts, and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. don t let another morning go by without talking to your rheumatologist about xeljanz xr. to break it all down. anne, it s great to see you. what is the administration trying to do? and why are they calling this junk insurance? reporter: well, kasie, the administration is trying to give people choice, but under the obama administration, short-term health insurance plans was a stopgap measure. three months of coverage for people between jobs or waiting for more comprehensive coverage. now the trump administration is extending the length of those policies to up to three years. but not what they cover. and that s why some are labeling them junk. reporter: for the 28 million uninsured americans, short-term health plans may sound like an attractive alternative. certainly, the trump administration is playing up the positive. this will be great health care. they may be as much as 50 to 80% cheaper than the obamacare exchange plan. reporter: for example, in los angeles, short-term premiums start at $141 a month versus $264 for the cheapest obamacare policy. but critics warn, you get what you pay for. people really need to know exactly what these policies, when they buy them. and the reason that they re inexpensive is because they don t coffver very much. reporter: what they don t cover? 43% offer no mental health coverage. 62% don t cover substance abuse treatment. 71% don t cover outpatient prescription drugs. and $100%, all of them, don t cover maternity care. the policies may also contain annual or lifetime benefit caps, unlike obamacare plans. we reached out to some of america s largest insurance providers, but none would comment on camera. in a statement, america s health insurance plans, an industry trade group said, consumers should clearly understand what their plan does and does not cover. the new requirement for short-term plans to make clear disclosures to consumers is an important improvement. that knowledge, critics say, is crucial. in the case of a lot of cancer patients, when they get a cancer diagnose, they found out they were not covered for things they thought they were going to be covered for. reporter: critics say it could divide risk pools, with younger people opting for short-term plans, while driving up premiums on obamacare plans, because they have older, sicker patients. the better solution would be to have everybody in the same insurance pool. reporter: now, the trump administration predicts about 200,000 americans will switch from obamacare to these extended short-term plans. these extended plans will be available in october and a very important thing to remember, kasie, is that these plans do not provide coverage for pre-existing conditions, which, of course, obamacare covers. anne thompson, thanks so much for that reporting. very useful information for all of you are viewers as they try to make those decisions coming in the fall. coming up next here, mike pence in his own words on how a president should behave. and what should be done to a president if he or she engages in, say, immoral or unethical behavior. what he said then versus what he s doing now. but first, 20 years ago today, august 7th, 1998, 224 people were killed, thousands more hurt when an al qaeda-affiliated suicide bomber drove pickup trucks into the gates of the u.s. embassies in the capitals of kenya and tanzania and detonated thousands of pounds of explosives, reducing the buildings largely to rubble. earlier today, the state department honored the victims of the attacks that set off what many view as the modern age of terror. the united states accused osama bin laden of being behind the embassy attacks and it s believed that just months after those bombings, he began his planning for september 11th, 2001. this is cancer treatment centers of america. and these are the specialists we re proud to call our own. treating cancer isn t one thing we do. it s the only thing we do. expert medicine works here. learn more at cancercenter.com cancer treatment centers of america. appointments available now. lewinsky scandal that a president who was unfaithful to his wife should be removed, writing joining me now is charlie sykes, a contributing editor at the weekly standard and an msnbc contributor and the author of a book how the right lost its mind. charlie, those words perhaps pressient from mike pence to say what s going on now and our acceptance of this behavior would lead to more difficult things. but this time he s standing by somebody who has allegedly at least committed some of the sins that pence was talking about there. well, that was then and this is now. but mike pence tracks almost perfectly what has happened to the conservative movement, because his comments back in the 1990st rst not at all surprising, virtually every conservative thought leader made the point. the republican party said character matters. the president is a role model. a president who lice discaes disqualifies himself from office. think about what we ve seen evangelical christian leaders do from the 90s to now. back in the niblt90s, no group thought personal integrity was more important than evangelicals. now they re among his strongest supporters. so mike pence has gone with the flow of what s happened to the conservative movement and conservative mind. charlie, do you think, though, that pence has really it s easy to when you read these old columns, he really believed what he was saying. his personal morality is often brought into his public life. you look at the relationship he has with his wife, cakaren. he has lived out the things what you should do. has he really changed do you think or is he just biting his tongue? well, that s an interesting question. we ve also seen how transactional our politicks become, what people are willing to bite their tongues for if they get something in return. again, he s not the only one who has made this kind of a bargain. in his case, as in the case of many of the christian leaders, it s pretty dramatic if you compare and contrast what they said then and what they are doing right now. charlie, i want to ask you about one other it s related, not exactly on point with mike pence. but there s a story out about paul ryan, and he writes that trump used to call ryan a boy scout. i thought it was a compliment, said ryan, a former altar boy and habitual people pleaser. but after the republican controlled congress passed bills, trump announced that he would stop using the nickname, so i guess he meant it as an insult all along, the speaker said. i didn t realize. this is illuminating on so many levels. but the fact that the president seems to think that calling someone a boy scout is an insult, that seems to be another xach example of this evolution you re talking about. yes, and paul ryan has made some bargains, as well. that piece is very illuminating. there were some things i thought, i didn t really understand that before. but yeah, that s an interesting anecdote. that apparently when donald trump was referring to paul ryan as a boy scout, he thought that was demeaning, that was an insult, that he wasn t tough enough, that he wasn t a fighter, what the playground bully you were supposed to be in the era of trump. it s interesting that paul ryan tells that particular story. for what it s worth, my father was an eagle scout and i will always look up to that. charlie sykes, contributing editor at the weekly standard, thank you. we ll be right back. you see clear skin. 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?

difference many in me and dying. i m brian thomas thanks so much for joining us temperature records are being smashed across the globe while fires are raging in portugal spain and the united states and there s a drought right now a severe one in australia and other countries as well so what s behind this unusually hot weather in a moment i ll be talking to a climatologist but first we have this report on the high temperatures that some experts fear could irreversibly disrupt earth s ecosystems. central europe from space too hot and too dry this is commander of the international space station alexander guest just had a chance to take my first photos of dried out central europe in germany since a few weeks and was shocked what should have been green is now brown never seen it like this before farmers across the continent are worried about crops the french version mountains a simply too dry about half of this farmers corn crop has already died. and rivers are also drawing up this is in brandenburg in northern germany shocking scenes like this are likely to become the new normal according to an international research team s latest study the name for this new normal hothouse earth i said it is when the earth when the climate is much warmer than it is today three to four degrees warmer than it already is four to five degrees warmer than in the pre-industrial climate yankee. climate targets aim to limit the earth s warming to two degrees celsius but scientists now think that that is even too high setting in motion processes that have both more extreme and irreversible such as glacial melting once they re gone the sun s heat stops getting reflected and starts getting absorbed speeding up global warming the potsdam institute which specializes in climate research argues that without putting in place pacific human made climate protections the seas could rise by up to sixty metres. and that s you know this is something long term but of course in the next few decades and by the end of the century these effects will have significantly negative impact on cities which are often on the coastlines. climate scientists say we need to drastically cut industrial greenhouse gas emissions traveling less by plane or by car and eating less meat as well. in the short term however both humans and animals are finding more immediate ways to cool down. in the united states these record temperatures are fueling the worst wildfires in the state of california history the mendocino complex fire has now killed eleven people and scorched an area the size of los angeles some ten thousand firefighters are battling the blazes in the northern part of california the flames have destroyed hundreds of homes since igniting over two weeks ago the mendocino fire is one of over eighteen blazers raging across california. so are we entering the era of hot house or earth to talk about that now i m joined by clarifies and she s a researcher from climate analytics an organization that supports what they call science based on a policy to prevent dangerous climate change welcome to the show it has been a savage summer here in europe elsewhere as well australia the united states what s behind this extreme heat wave well if you need to persuading that climate change is going to enter into so that it is already in for thing and joining us all that there s no way back. and the scientists the talking about tipping points in the climate system which a very complex parts of the climate system such as ice sheets the rain forest oceans that you lation and it s thought that if these reach a certain if he reaches out in temperature level we could see very rapid and some sometimes there of us the bull changes in these systems now we re not yet at the temperature where that would happen we cannot really pinpoint a number where the risk of these events happening lies and the science is not ready to do that but what the science can tell us is that if we limit temperature wise to one point five degrees we stay out of very high risk zone if you would as a research show briefly if you could are we going to stay within that one point five degree range were is that as dangerous as this new international study showing there are seventy ways to keep below the one point five degree limit. experts have shown them up multiple different pathways through which we can keep our missions down we need to act rapidly though so we need to reduce our emissions by about half in the next decade in order to keep to that one point five degrees limit but yes it certainly possible clarifies and from climate analytics thanks so much for being with us this morning thank you. now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world today in the

breakaways including in south a city is de facto capital tskhinvali the e.u. monitoring mission acts as a mediator and it patrols the de facto border but the e.u. calls the administrative boundary line. the. big number of. relatively close to each other and the culture is something that you have to monitor closely especially where there s no common agreement on where the a.b.l. is running. carefully and that s why we are on the ground with two hundred monitors twenty four seven for russia and . this is a state border while for georgia this is a temporary occupation line but for the people who live here this is a source of uncertainty even ten years after the war here in many places the border simply. moving boundary line has swallowed some of the property in the past now he s determined to stand his ground this farm has been in his family for generations. i have nowhere else to go this is my part of georgia this is my. country i want to. draw one. for the younger generation living on the border the war is a distant memory but with the conflict still unresolved the threat of tensions boiling over again is an ever present reality. and staying in the region the

doing business with iran just got tricky due to washington s new sanctions many multinationals do business with both the u.s. and iran but president donald trump says it s now either or that s something that has left european companies concerned and brussels isn t happy either it has responded with legislation. as european companies are in a tough bind washington says firms that do business with iran will be excluded from the u.s. market the e.u. has responded with legislation that bans european companies from complying with the sanctions brussels sent a clear signal. we believe that it is and it has to be to. be europeans in this case to the side with home to trade with major corporations like air bus. decided to quit operations in iran instead of risking sanctions themselves but medium sized companies cannot afford to give up the market and brussels is still hoping that washington won t proceed with sanctions on e.u. companies. money the hope is that americans want to

salads you have in common. in south africa next is still in its infancy so far there are more than one hundred ninety freshwater and over thirty salt water aqua culture farms official see a lot of growth potential in paan existence. we have aquaculture our news campaigns we also have programs whereby john and i would miss companies who actually go and hold the whole day from us hand by hand to advise them on how to start on our next farm we give them step by step excise i do not think think that the government has helped enough. especially for young up coming into play here is who needs funding he needs financial advice i don t think i ve got enough help and advice from the government in south africa. with or without government support rick elisa run it go we ll continue her business and passion growing vegetables and farming fish on a big scale. thriving green is a project set up by german students developing especially we don t all share that could be used to help feed people in barren and drought stricken regions initial pilot programs are already underway in kenya took on a region thriving green students say cultivating all gee isn t all hard work it s also lots and lots of fun just a few final adjustments then there you detect it will be ready for a test run. a device allows the students from regensburg to determine how many microscopic algae are present in the water sample and not just any algae but a very specific kind spirulina algae are also now being grown in kenya. via the internet the students in southern germany are monitoring the growth of the algae in a basin they set up in kenya that way they can alert their african collaborators to the best time to harvest it spirulina tastes like salty salad but packs a much bigger nutritional punch. from that comment has people you know one hundred up and running just three weeks after construction began. to go on looking forward. because it was for you know we go one two three. many of the villagers turned up to watch as researchers out and see and yet exceeded the fifty square metre basin with spirulina cultures as filled with salty water from lake turkana. as with some just motor spec and the three kilometer we got the first basin up and running and saw how quickly and at what kind of scale the biomass started to appear. we were pretty amazed by this and seeing algae grow in the lab in a test tube is one thing ferment at the speed at which the algae reproduced in several thousand liters of water well that s a natural wonder to holes. from the. thriving green wants to extend the farm until it can eventually supply spirulina for four hundred people the micro algae reproduces all on its own through some division and every part of it can be used the only input is water it has to be changed occasionally because evaporation otherwise causes the salinity in the basins to rise circulation also mixes up the water algae mixture which promotes growth. the spirulina can be harvested every twenty five days. aside from goats beans and corn little thrives in the region around lake took can i do with. that. even so the people here are a little suspicious of the bright green algae at first but they soon lose their reservations people weakened by malnourishment can be helped back to strength by the nutrient rich food stuff. i guess and if you like it you know what s really so tasty thriving green and the people around lake talk ana have developed recipes together when mixed with corn meal and water powdered algae makes it delicious flatbread. and over half a million people in kenya s turkana region suffer from malnutrition even more and other east african countries fresh water is increasingly scarce in many regions especially in developing countries so we think that algae farming has potential cause for concern the spirulina farmers have received requests to set up facilities in ethiopia and bolivia as well. nigeria has one of the highest rates of deforestation in the country s population is growing rapidly and i would call it is expanding to meet demand base a vicious circle the fire station courses so i leave ocean on sunday was and feels the need for more law and our next report shows just how dramatic the situation is caught in the act the ranger tells the men they have no rights to be here. the forest guards can rest them because they have entered a strictly reserved area the cause of forest in a new state and federal dollars are that of a poster and idea that the punishment if you send it to called the protection zone is part of a wider strategy of the nigerian conservation foundation the ngo hopes to save the diminishing forest in the country each year nigeria loses more than three thousand square kilometers of woodland only seven percent of its land mass is still coming by trees the foundation a set of grass roots because of asian comedians to help to protect the forests the chairman fred explains the zone system of neighboring going to get a forest it covers three hundred fifty square kilometers divided into three. transitional and causal yeah we are transitional. where we re plant to. last. july august so we are also in tents or blunt one will go through this year the transition season the most human activity farmers there are allowed to plant crops here in the close supervision however one major concern is arsenic people sneak into the area to set fire to the land and drive animals out of the brush they also still go to the forest to light up the forests because it s awful for i mean months it has been the me. in the projects the ambitious goal of the nigerian conservation foundation is to have twenty five percent of nigeria s land mass covered with forest again within thirty years that s about four times more than now. one approach is to ban all human activity and let the forest regenerate itself every adult every live every warning shot available you. so the committee did exactly just release on porch that is why i. came on board to be direct those things to be like this the next step will be to plant more than two million trees over the next three years to ensure the survival and growth of nigeria s forests. cher bots are becoming ever more popular in africa for cooking i mean. but the award of the share not. a body of all right. and that s why it s made into a charcoal in book enough. to stop the resulting deforestation what are they doing . the group is training the women to make the top. recognize that the thinking here. on this one a live tree is more valuable than the dead one. sacks of charcoal selling on the side of the road. prices it s charcoal made from sheol wood some producers are allowed to cut down trees selected by the forest authority the producers pay a fee for every tree they cut their bullet from keep it on the ground and. women who cook in the big restaurants with the big government save a lot by using sheer charcoal that s because it s very slow burning at last for a long time in the oven. to keep down the field. so not surprisingly she often cut down illegally either for personal use or by people looking to make money. so has a huge problem with the forestation over one hundred thousand hectares of forest disappear every year. we ve adopted various measures to try to reverse this trend but it s true that illegal logging is still taking place in our forests. are working together with the state to finally put a stop to this phenomenon in burkina faso. these women are collecting the fruits of the shia tree ready to turn it into she of a product you. in many cosmetics and creams the little honey do sabir each checks the quality of the fruit he works for a local ngo c.e. s it s training the women to produce more and better quality see a better this will allow them to increase their income making their families less likely to cut down shia trees illegally the n.t.o. has taught the women to process the fruit as quickly as possible before it can be attacked by insects or the kernels begin to germinate. gather the fruit into a heap and leave it until we were ready now we boil it up as soon as we ve collected it and then put it out to dry in the sun the butter we get now is much better. this store in the capital ouagadougou sells all kinds of goods made from shia butter ranging from baby care products to vaseline and shampoo shia butter is an important export product but the owner is already feeling the impact of the illegal cutting of shia trees. that the production output has gone down compared to ten years ago and that s reflected in the price we used to pay three hundred to four hundred francs for one kilo now we paid double the price because the product has become more rare. and that s because there are fewer trees and. see a lot of. protecting the trees is the name of c.d. s here in the southwest of the country the ngo recently installed a modern shia but a production unit here to come it has to be very that s been training some of the women from the local village of super gun. crushing the shia colonels provides the raw material for the better. the work is physically much easier the women are able to produce more butter and the quality has also improved so they ve seen their income go up significantly. we re looking at the future of our children school fees and health care for our kids. that the ngo hopes that by improving the women s financial situation this will in turn help to protect shia trees. it isn t part of the families of these women who are chopping down the trees so we can convince them of the importance of protecting the trees they can in turn help to persuade others and when they see they can earn more from the butter they ll be more motivated to protect that source of income and. now get on. with the projects and bikini count on the women and their families realizing that it s in their own best interest to keep the trees alive. that wraps it up for this week s show we do hope you enjoyed the last half hour of reports from africa and you so it s bye bye from the ancient city of bring it in niger and it s goodbye from me here in nairobi kenya we do hope that

A breakdown of major headlines impacting business and politics features a rotating panel of industry experts. future star of the gop, john james, fresh off his primary victory he is here, and he is only here, and so is conservative charlie kirk, amid his run-in with far left protesters, how he is responding right now, and sean spicer on whether his former boss should agree to a mueller sit-down. cavuto leave starts now. hi, everyone good morning i m trish regan in for neil cavuto on this saturday. it s post-9/11 you would think this would be impossible. an airline employee stealing and crashing a passenger plane near seattle, washington our dan springer he is there with the very late its for us right now. hi, dan. reporter: yeah, hi, trish. a joyride gone terribly wrong. that s how a local sheriff described it he could also call it one of the most bizarre suicides you ll ever see a 29 year old employee of horizon air took a commercial plane that was at the maintenance area so it was not in service to be flown but it was out of service and going to have some maintenance done. he took that plane and he got off the tarmac and up into the air and flew around the puget sound for 90 minutes before crashing it on a small island. a lot of people were out with their cell phones as they saw this bizarre action of a plane flying low to the ground doing loops. the 76 plane is made by bombardier. the military quickly sent up two f-15 fighter jets and brought them in from portland to follow that plane and shoot it down if necessary. the man who stole the plane worked for horizon eras a ground service agent so those are the guys that do the deicing in the winter and direct them into the gate. he joked with air traffic control about his flying skills even though he was not a pilot. he called himself a broken man and sounded suicidal. i don t want to hurt no one. i just want you to wisper sweet nothings into my ear. i ve got a lot of people that care about me, and it s going to disappoint them to hear that i did this. reporter: air traffic control tried to get the man to stay away from population centers and he was doing that flying south away from seattle towards tacoma , flying over water. the fighter jets did not shoot the plane down as it flew south. an hour and a half after the plane took off it crashed on a small island. pierce county officials say this was not, not an act of terrorism there is no indication that he did this to threaten anybody. there s no indication of any kind of terrorist link or anything like that. reporter: the crash happened on ketron island between tacoma and olympia. there are a handful of homes there about 20 people live there but the plane went down in a wooded area starting a small wildfire but nobody on the ground was hurt the mans name has not been released the fbi will take the lead in this investigation again they re not looking at terrorism. the ntsb which usually takes the lead in commercial airline crashes because they re looking at all kinds of things of maybe maintenance problems or mechanical problems they re not taking the lead they may not send a crew because it doesn t look like there s anything more to this than a man whose suicidal and not able to fly a plane. trish? trish: dan springer thank you very much joining me former uss commander and private pilot, kirk liphold. good to have you here, sir. how does this happen? given what we ve been through, given 9/11, how could this occur well when you have ground maintenance personnel like that, a lot of them achieve qualifications where they get to be able to move aircraft around, where they actually will go up with pilots when they do post- maintenance check flights, so there was probably a degree of familiarity in how the aircraft operated how to start it how to shut it down. he could have been qualified in all those thins and when you trust them. when it comes to nuclear weapons there s only one policy and that is everything that is done must be done in a technically verifiable manner where all the cards are on the table. we re dealing with north korea. what iran is upset about is the fact that we had a bad deal in the joint comprehensive plan of action negotiated under the obama administration. we chose to step away from that deal, reimpose the sanctions again because it s our belief they had a pathway to a bomb in 10 to 15 years having read that agreement we do. now we re looking at north korea and i think what they realize is when it comes to nuclear weapons it s an entirely different category than anything else. consequently, we have to have verifiable steps. we will work with north korea. we want to work with them but north korea peninsula must be denuclearized but north korea has to take the first steps. what you ve seen so far has been pretty much confidence-building measures but nothing that s actually taken the steps to verify aboutly dismantle their program which must happen. trish: uh-huh. what s china s role in all this? you look at some of these actors talking about russia, iran, china, north korea there s a whole set of them out there. how is china helping to potentially dismantle our progress with north korea? what are they trying to do? well what you see, trish is that china is the 800-pound gorilla in the room casting a shadow over everything. their only military allie on the world is north korea. they fought beside them and died for them in the korean war. everything that went on with this nuclear program that north korea now possesses was aided and a betted by china. they allowed it to happen. they wanted it to happen. they see it as a negotiating tool and now when you look at the larger context of what s going on with president trump on our national security you have to remember part of the tariffs part of what is going on in the south china sea part of china trying to exert regional influence, north korea is just one more tool they re using. the fact that it s nuclear weapons china doesn t want to be part of the negotiations with this. fine we ll deal directly with north korea but be very aware that china is in there and china needs to be made painfully aware if necessary that we will hold them accountable for anything north korea does. trish: important that you mentioned those tariffs. exercising those tariffs but at the end of the day north korea is the one with kim jong-un that has to have a verifiable program to denuclearize on our timeline. trish: commander thank you so much. like secretary of state pompeo. trish: yes, thank you, sir fresh off his primary win president trump calling john james a future star of the republican party. you aren t going to see him anywhere else this weekend except right here so don t go anywhere and did this primary actually show a green wave from a strong economy? trish: well the mid-terms are now three months away can you believe that and if this weeks heated primaries are any indication well the economy is what people care about front and center is the economy fox business tracy carrasco has the latest for us. good morning, trish five for five is what president trump tweeted as he took a victory lap on wednesday morning, following his endorsements in tuesday s elections. the trump-backed candidates came out on top while those supported by democratic congressional candidate and out spoke epidemic socialistic alexandria cortez did not do as well. those endorsed by the president include bill shuty, who will face for governor in michigan, john james who trump called the future star of the republican party and michigan s gop primary for u.s. senate race and will go up against incumbent democrat and we ll hear from him later on the show and josh holly , who goes on to challenge democratic senator in missouri and two races still too close to call, well let s take a look at those, troy balderson, leading democrat danny o connor in a much-watched special election in ohio just over 1,500 votes only .8 percentage points but more than 3,400 provisional ballots have yet to be counted there and ohio law calls for an automatic recount if the two candidates are separated by less than half a percentage point. let s switch over the drama does continue in kansas as incumbent governor hires an outside lawyer for the vote counting process with trump-backed secretary of state leading the race by less than a tenth of a percentage point, kovak formerly recused himself friday from his duties as secretary of state until the end of the primary process. meanwhile primaries in hawaii take place today. cortez has been on the big island campaigning for a fellow democratic socialistic and hawaii congressional candidate and on tuesday voters will head back to the polls in minnesota, wisconsin, connecticut and vermont. trish? trish: tracy thank you so much so the big question is the green wave, thanks to the good economy , going to actually beat out that big government wave? pushed by democratic socialists going on right now joining me for the panel we have democratic strategist rochelle richie, media business analyst, dan gelt rude, former new york congresswoman. starting with you, the economy matters to people. people tend to vehicle with their pocket books does it matter enough come mid-term? we have all the metrics obviously in terms of job growth in terms of record unemployment among communities of color, folks who haven t been participating in the job market for many years under the previous administration now are coming back in, thank goodness. consumer confidence is up so people understand and they give the president high marks on his management of the economy, so those things should matter and the fact the democratic socialistic and democratic socialistic-backed candidates did poorly in democratic primar ies also indicates that people understand that we need a vigorous free market economy. trish: rochelle is the socialistic platform hurting the democratic party right now? well look i ll say i definitely do not like the socialistic platform we re see ing right now coming out of the democratic party but republicans love to boast about the unemployment rate which is great, but what they re not sharing with the american people is the fact that underemployment is still pretty high. 33% of people with college degrees are under employed and i know the two mentioned the unemployment rate for african americans so what s not being mentioned is the fact that 83% of african americans are still unemployed compared to whites and unemployment for african americans have actually increased over the last three months and in may it was 5.9 and june 6.5 and july 6.6 and i think as particularly for african american voters, the rhetoric that we tend to see from president trump and the fact that he is more willing to attack nfl players and not say anything trish: okay so you see that as a i know where you re going with this because unfortunately we see over and over again the left wants to paint him as racist. no that is not it. trish: that s exactly because over and over again you see economic data that is good. and just as you mentioned economic data that is good; however, is not, it s a misrepresentation of the facts. black people in this country are still relatively higher unemployed than whites. trish: i am proud to have fought for and secured the lowest african american and hispanic unemployment rates ministry and i will never stop fighting for all americans dan going to you for a moment because one of my frustrations right now with the political environment we re in is that people are not looking at policy they re not looking at facts they are trying to make this very emotional so they paint whoever they can into whatever box they can including this president and that s an attempt to rally the base and get them emotionally connected to mid-terms. is that going to work or are people going to say lick i m better off today than i was a year ago, two years ago? well you re exactly right about these elections are going to be about emotion. unfortunately and i think what we have to realize, people are much more motivated to go out and vote against something than to go out and vote for something , so we have this great economy, people are satisfied, so is that going to make them lazy when it comes to going to the polls? and i think that s what this election, the mid-term elections is going to be about. remember this, this is not a national election. this is a series of local elections so you ll have local issues that play pretty significantly into what happens in all these seats in congress. isn t this in part perhaps why we re seeing border issue really get inflamed right now because as dan said people want to have something they re connected to emotionally so whether this president is a racist therefore you need to vote him out of office and the republicans out of office or whether it s we re going to open up our borders and people are going to flood in there s sort of a fear factor on both sides. right there is a great deal of passion on both sides we always hear about this blue wave and the democrats want to get out and i m sure a lot that didn t vote in 2016 get out and vote because of what happened in 2016 but on the republican side we re seeing highest voter enthusiasm before almost every mid-term election dating back to 1994 with one exception in june 2010 so there s also a lot of passion and a lot of wanting to get up and go on the republican side as well so if it is aunt emotion and passion not so easy to say blue wave look at the emotions we don t hear as much about the emotions on the republican side and the passion that is backed up by data. trish: i want to get to this other issue and that s conservative comentator ben shapiro in o out there challeng ing alexandria cortez he offered her $10,000 to her campaign, charity whatever she wanted so do you know what she did? she called his attempt to debate her cat calling. i mean it didn t even make sense wait, wait, cat calling? i asked about this. [laughter] that would be great. trish: so i asked about this yesterday. here is his response. take a look. the fact that she feels the necessity to go to this particular car, to play that i m a female this is like cat calling fact she goes there and says do you know what i m not interested in a debate the reason she didn t say that is because she didn t want to look like she s afraid. trish: she s afraid. i get that but what bugs me the most is the victim it station here that s going on. i mean, to say that he s cat calling when he s just asking to have an intellectual conversation, what s that about, rochelle? i don t agree it s not cat calling, like we live in new york city that s not cat calling trish: no. [laughter] trish: what is it? look at me i m a victim? the only thing shings a victim of is her own foolishness and i give her enough credit to know that versus ben shapiro in o she would lose pretty severely not cat calling. no she s clearly afraid to debate him. she has had difficulty in television interviews when she s pressed on okay how would you pay for this or okay how does this work she flounders a little bit. trish: we ll leave it there is president trump nearing a sit down with special counsel robert mueller? former white house press secretary sean spicer was questioned by his legal team and he joins us at 11 a.m. but up next two conservatives shouted down by far left protesters now one ismo speaking up charlie kik is next. motorcycle revving motorcycle revving motorcycle revving no matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. and just like tyrone taylor, they know what it takes to help keep you protected. are you in good hands? a new wireless network that saves you cash. and you can get 5 lines of talk and text included with your internet. and over here i m having my birthday party. dj fluffernutter, hit it! dj fluffernutter simple. easy. awesome. ask how to get $300 back when you sign up for xfinity mobile, and purchase a new samsung phone. visit your local xfinity store today. trish: oh, two prominent conservatives were harassed by far left protesters earlier this week outside a philadelphia restaurant let s go to one of the conservatives turning point usa founder charlie kirk joins us via skype. sorry you went through that. good morning, thanks for having me. it was quite an interesting way to start a week and the intolerance of the left never ceases to amaze me. trish: it s a little scary out there you re out there with candidates trying to get breakfast i understand walk out and greeted with that? that s right, and so it s really amazing when you think about it that at 8:00 a.m. on a monday morning in philadelphia that two 20 somethings believe in conservative values we believe president trump is doing a wonderful job we can t eiten peace so we responded early on by some of the antifa thugs and they sent out like a bat signal and next thing you know there s 50 protesters outside with drums and whistles coming into the restaurant call candice also owens a white supremacist which i m still not sure how that one works out. trish: candice owens is african american by the way. that s correct and i kind of joked around in a tweet that went viral describing this i said you have white liberals shouting at a black conservative candice owens for defending a black police force against white liberals. trish: it s all convoluted and very twisted all by the way in the city of brotherly love, philadelphia, we should point out. why do you think this is happening what s gone on in our society that is contributing to this, somewhat violent, very very aggressive streak, among some members of the left? this is a trend. you can see it this is a pattern now. they did this to kristen into, they did this to sarah huckabee sanders. you remember steve scalise got shot last summer so this is a growing trend against conservatives an outward support er of the president i attribute it to two things. the leaders of the democrat party do not denounce this behavior. trish: in fact they encourage it exactly. you have maxine waters say if you see them at this department store if you see them in a restaurant find them, create a scene, they followed her instructions to a tee, and the second thing is these protesters and these radicals on the left have not been able to reconcile this president has succeeded they hate trump more than they love america. they hate this president so much they thought they were going to have the fundamental transformation of america with the election of hillary clinton and they still cannot reconciliation he s succeeding, cutting taxes growing the economy fighting terror effectively and he wants to go after allies of the president which of course is trish: it bothers me it s so much intimidation they are using and that no democrats prominent ones are calling this out. if i were maxine waters i d want to get out in front of something like this because this is not good for the country and i fundamentally believe we should appreciate a diversity of thought. charlie we do have breaking news i want to ask you about right now this just coming in that new york republican congressman chris collins is suspending his re-election campaign amid allegations of insider trading. we do have a statement collins saying after discussions, extensive discussions with my family and friends over the last few days i have decided that it is in the best interest of the constituents of new york 27 the republican party and president trump s agenda for me to suspend my campaign for re-election to congress. charlie, is he making the right move here for the party for mid-terms in your view? i think he is and just looking at the facts and of course presuming his innocence, but just looking at the facts it s a pretty tough case for him to overcome just in the public arena. not in the legal realm. you look at the phone calls that he made just minutes after getting the phone call from the head of the company of course the drug company that he was invested in the stock crumbled and then all of his family members sold stock. it just doesn t look good. it looked like he was using a piece of insider information for his own advantage and that is the very swampy behavior to be perfectly honest with you that he was trump supporters really reject. trish: i hear you. so i m not totally pleased with this behavior and glad to see he s not running for re-election. trish: charlie good to see you thank you. this one is disturb being everyone. a man arrested this week for allegedly offering a $500 bounty on i.c.e. agents now one former agent has a message for him, that s 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? they were on it. it was unbelievable. having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa- now that s a privilege. we re the baker s and we re usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote today. bring you the fall hunting classic with huge savings. now save up to $3250 on remaining 2018 and prior year atvs and utvs from arctic cat, textron offroad and intimidator. fighters were directed to fly supersonic to expedite the intercept. they were trying to redirect the aircraft out over the pacific ocean where it crashed they say norad fighters did not fire at the aircraft in a statement they say since september 11, 2001 aircraft had been on alert conduct more than 1,800 intercepts of non-military aircraft under operation nobel eagle and that is the name given to the military response for the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and applies to all air defense missions in north america. the governor of washington state says there are still a lot of unknowns here. for many there are questions about security, how this can happen in a post-9/11 world we ve reached out to a number of lawmakers on capital hill as well as tsa so far trish we ve not heard back but we ll let you know when we do. trish: thank you very much ellison barber. a massachusetts man arrested for allegedly sending a tweet seeking a hit on i.c.e. agents. the tweet reads: i am broke, but i will scrounge, and literally give $500 to anyone who kills an i.c.e. agent. he s now facing up to five years in prison if convicted. former i.c.e. agent david ward has been warning all the anti- i.c.e. rhetoric from the left is getting very dangerous. david, good to have you here this morning. thank you. trish: unfortunately it seems as though what you worried about is actually coming to fruition. i mean we re just talking earlier with charlie kirk about this violence on the left. how does it feel for those that are at i.c.e. right now? well look i spent over 33 years of my life with the border patrol and i.c.e. and of course immigration law and never seen it so bad and they narrative that the democrats are pushing across this country to stop immigration enforcement, abolish i.c.e., open the borders it s just outrageous and now we have this individual in massachusetts whose probably some sort of basement socio path trying to find something to do with his life. i with have no doubt in my mind he s part of the antifa group that are out to stop i.c.e. just based on the enforcement operations that i.c.e. is doing not that he had any interaction whatsoever with i.c.e. just the mere fact that i.c.e. is doing their job and the thing is it s by the democratic leaders like c uomo and nixon and these other individuals that are calling for abolishment of i.c.e. and not only that calling to prosecute i.c.e. for doing their jobs it s outrageous this is going on and people had enough of it. trish: i get it. it s wild. if your country, there should be some kind of system and you shouldn t be here illegally and certainly not if you ve committed a crime. i mean what are some of the officers telling you the i.c.e. agents telling you about their experience right now in the field? what s it like out there? it s getting worse as far as the sanctuary cities and the cooperation with the local agencies. i.c.e. is there to support and augment the local police agencies to get rid of the criminal element that come from foreign countries. they re there to help the countries protect our citizens like what happened in philadelphia. a 5-year-old girl is raped by an individual that philadelphia refused to release to i.c.e. although i.c.e. did have a detainer and a warrant for this individual, they released this guy on the street what happens? a child gets raped. five years old and we have a mayor up there whose doing a happy dance because now he s a sanctuary city moment. did he do that when his grand child was raped or if any of his family members are raped no he doesn t do anything like that. it s the citizens that have to pay the penalty for these politicians. trish: why are the politicians trying to stir this up? i mean what is motivating them do you think? it seems to me that they are he ll bent ongoing socialistic. they want a borderless country. they want open borders. they want the globalism that they tried to usher in under the obama administration and they re upset that it stopped when president trump became president and is now enforcing the immigration laws that are on the books. he s not inventing anything. he didn t create any new laws these are laws that congress already passed and our agents are out there enforcing it now. trish: so they are leaning socialists in your view. could it also be they want to try and get a few votes and they figure let me try and appeal to the immigrant community? i don t know if politically that s sound because if someone is here illegally then they shouldn t be able to vote but that part of it but look at california. california is pushing the illegal alien to vote. we ve got dead people voting in these elections and the democrat s, they can t win without illegal aliens and dead people voting for them. the claim about russia and all upset about russia and trump. but that never even happened. what really happened is illegal aliens, immigrants and dead people voting. trish: all right, david ward, thank you very much for your time this morning, sir. you re welcome. trish: president trump, everyone , calling him a future star of the republican party. now, john james fresh off his big primary win in michigan is saying president trump s tariffs they will help the future of all americans. he is here. he will explain, next. know what? no, what? i just switched to geico and got more. more? got a company i can trust. that s a heck of a lot more. over 75 years of great savings and service. you can t argue with more. why would ya? geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more. invite senator to join us. we have not heard back, but we did hear back from john james, and earlier i asked him what he thought about the president calling him a star. here is what he had to say. well first of all i m no star. i m just a servant. trish: and modest too that s nice. well you know it s how i was raised. my parents came up from the south and i understand that those of us who have the blessings to be in this position have an obligation not an option to continue our service. that s the reason why i left my home when i was 17 years old worked my way into west point graduated from west point in 2004 and became a ranger qualified pilot. i believe very strongly in service before self, god in country and faith in family. i came back from combat in baghdad to grow my family business and again committed to service in my community to help grow job and help grow economic opportunity and i truly believe we need more servant leaders in washington, more servant leaders who understand combat, more servant leaders who understand how to bring economic opportunity and prosperity and economic mobility back home to people in the state of michigan when the senator has quite frankly failed for 43 years as a politician and 20 years in washington. trish: when you look at the democratic party right now and your competition right now, it s a very different approach they re taking, shall we say, towards our economy, towards employment, so if you separate some of the rhetoric that surrounds both parties and you just look specifically at the economic policy you have a business background as well as a military background. what is it that you like about what this administration is doing and what do you want to continue, sir? well people care the most about the economy because it directly correlates to quality of life now, but also quality of future for our children. we need to make sure that we continue to grow our economy where the senator has voted against things that help michigan s economy, that help the american economy. trish: for example? like for example, the tax cuts and jobs about she voted against that puts money back into the hands of people who earned it hard working middle class and working class families in the state of michigan voted against that she supports the estate tax and she opposed the president and resisted as he s rolled back harmful regulations that incentivized capital investment and talent retention in the state. i m looking forward to make sure we continue with this economic prosperity continuing the 4.1% growth we had last quarter and projecting 4.5% last quarter when the previous administration was trying to tell us that manufacturing jobs have gone away forever and this was the rust belt and we just had to be okay with 2% that s not good enough for michigan. trish: how are the tariffs playing out in your state right now? i ll tell you honestly people are scared because they are being fed a lot of rhetoric from the left that this is damaging. i m looking forward to working with our president to make sure that we negotiate better trade deals, to make sure that we have free but fair trade. no one wants a trade war but i have experience that senator has not had the occasion to develop in her 43 years as a career politician. i deal in taxes tariff and trade every day in my automotive logistics company exporting parts not jobs. i want to protect michigan jobs and i want to make sure we continue to grow our economy by making sure that we have level reciprocal trade deals and negotiate from a position of strength. trish: so if you threaten these tariffs that it gets you closer to free-trade actual fair and free-trade and you ve got to use the leverage you have? well i m saying that our president is refusing to capitulate any longer. he cares more about leveling the playing field for american working class and middle class families than he cares about a legacy. china has been taking advantage of our economy for decades and they ve been manipulating their currency, predatory business practices and intellectual property theft while turkey abused american farmers michigan farmers in particular dumping tart cherry concentrate and forcing michigan farmers essentially to have to go sell their products at uncompetitive rates we have to do more to level the playing field, have free but fair trade and reciprocal trade deals. trish: let me ask you john. you re an african american man and you are supporting this president who many on the left say is not supportive enough of minorities. it s a constant thing we hear over and over and over again and they really have painted donald trump increasingly as a racist, so as a black american, as a business owner, as a former military member, how do you think about president trump and some of his rhetoric and how the left has claimed it is very damaging to the african american community? well the left is very selective in its facts. the fact is that president trump has tweeted favorably about me in the past few weeks. john james more than he has lebron james when don lemon says that our president is using race to divide this country. now what our president has done is he s executed economic policies that have benefited all americans whether you re black, white or yellow or whatever our president is about red, white and blue and that s what i m about. i m about continuing economic growth, too many p employee have died for me to have the right to think independently and i m going to exercise that right to run as a conservative to make sure that everybody can participate in the american dream regardless of what they look like. no one has been talking about the debt that has been forgiven in hbcu s historically black colleges and universities no one is talking about that or no one is talking about how our president met with historically plaque college and university presidents more time than president obama. no one is talking about the low unemployment rate of african americans, latinos and women lower than its been in decades. our presidents policies don t have a race but our presidents agenda is about elevating all americans and making sure that everybody has equal shot at the american dream. trish: it s really good to hear you say that. i fret right now that we ve gotten so divided and it becomes black versus white or female versus male, et cetera, and you know i look at it pretty simply i guess myself with an economic background and say look, if everybody has access to the same opportunities economically speaking, we can get through a lot of that division that doesn t need to exist. absolutely and democrats are using i ll just say some democrats are using identity politics to pedal a brand of victimhood and dependency that has kept generations of people shackled to economic un opportunity. they have voted for policies that keep people dependent on the federal government. i m intended on focusing on the economic opportunity on k-12 education workforce development, vocational training criminal justice reform and rolling back harmful regulations that hurt entrepreneurs, family business owners who are overwhelmingly in the city of detroit, flint, overwhelmingly african american farmers or small family business owners we need to get away from the identity politics and focus on the economic inequality that people feel that economic insecurity that people feel to make sure we re not giving people free stuff but we need to give them a fair shot and i m looking forward to working with our president and anyone else who can continue our economic recovery. trish: mr. john james i m going to agree with the president and say you are a future star. thank you it s good to have you here appreciate it. appreciate it. trish: paul manafort s trial set to resume on monday following an unusually long recess yesterday. what s next for the former trump campaign chairman? we re going to have that for you after this. paying too much for insurance you don t even understand? well, esurance makes it simple and affordable. in fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of $412. that s auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. paying too much for insurance that isn t the right fit? well, esurance makes finding the right coverage easy. in fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of $412. that s auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. trish: new questions from the manafort trial after the judge calls for a particularly long recess. what happened when they were back in session? fox news correspondent jillian turner joins us now with more. reporter: good morning, trish so treasury t is already taking to twitter this morning to comment on the ongoing russia investigation saying first why isn t the fbi giving andrew mccabe text messages to judicial watch. fbi said they won t give up even one. i may have to get involved. do not destroy. what are they hiding? mccabe s wife took big campaign dollars from hillary people and then, will the fbi ever recover its once stellar reputation so badly damaged by comey, mccabe, peters and his lover, the lovely lisa page and the other top officials now dismissed or fired so many great men and women of the fbi have been hurt by these clowns and losers meanwhile across the river in all employee and are a, virginia the fraud trial of paul manafort got off to a late start yesterday by nearly five hours on its ninth day and confusion abounds now as to why. i don t know what the delay is about but the mueller team has taken hits this week no doubt about it their big star witness, really got beaten up a little bit. reporter: we do know the presid ing judge received a motion from mueller s team in which they complained about a comment judge ellis made thursday suggesting his lawyers should stop asking about loans that manafort had been denied and no clarification from judge ellis as he resumed proceedings once the delay was done by calling for the governments next witness as a result the mueller team was not able to rest their case yesterday as they plan to do. next up on the trial when it resumes monday one or two government witnesses and then on to closing arguments which judge ellis already strictly limited two hours each, max. very clear on that point. trish? trish: jill ran turner thank you very much. i do also want to ask you though , so don t go anywhere, there s news on the justice department official bruce ohr. can you get us up to speed with what s going on with him? well there s increased attention on senior justice department official bruce ohr at this moment. president trump s allies including his personal lawyer devon nunes chairman of the house intelligence committee are pushing for increased investigation into ohr s role in the russia probe. there s allegations i think they ve been confirmed by fox news that he is indeed friends with christopher steele that retired fbi spy, who wrote the now infamous steel dossier and bruce ohr s wife was also employ ed by the firm that commissioned that dossier called fusion gps. i m sorry if i didn t lay that out in the clearest way but it s a lot of moving pieces here. trish: that s for sure, [laughter] jillian good to see you thank you. you too. trish: coming up in the next hour, everyone, former white house press secretary sean spicer is here. he sat down with the mueller legal team but does he think president trump should have to sit down with them as well? plus, former nfl player virgis owns speaking up as more players protest during the national anthem. whoooo. you rely on tripadvisor so you don t miss out on the perfect hotel. but did you know you can also use tripadvisor so you don t miss out on the best price?

it is not a question you don t tell the president what to do. he tends to do what he wants to do. i think the lawyers the president wants to do this. he said he would like to sit down with mueller and get this over with and figure out whatever means are necessary to put it to rest and he is willing to talk. the question, his lawyers are right, they need to figure out this happens in a way that doesn t allow the mueller team to go down 80 million rabbit holes about business deal and action he has engaged in. the scope needs to be limited but that is a negotiation his legal team has to conduct with mueller and the side of those criteria are met. in terms of the mueller investigation what are your thoughts? why is it happening? do you see this as some people in the administration not liking that this president was elected in the mueller investigation being the result or do you see this as mueller trying to figure out what russia was up to? that is a great question. two things are going on. number one is these russians that have gotten indicted on two separate sweeping indictments that have gone out the talked about russians tried to middle in the election. those people should be brought to justice and everywhere and anywhere we find someone foreign or domestic undermining the elections should be brought to justice but there is a second issue which is collusion. in the year and a half he has been at it there has been no evidence brought forward or leaked out that there was any collusion between the president and anyone on the campaign. that aspect of things should be put to rest. it hangs over the president s agenda. and the country. it puts a cloud over all the president is getting done and the results he is having and distracts and takes time away from other things that could be getting done. i would hope if mueller wants to find out who may have what russians metal in the election that is one thing but with respect to collusion the sooner he can make it clear there was no collusion between the president and anyone on his team including with russia that aspect should be put to bed as soon as possible. i hear you on that. sometimes i worry vladimir putin is getting what he wants. think about the state we are in right now. that is exactly right. they want to undermine the integrity of the election system and our trust in the media, government or elected officials and to some degree you are right, he is starting to get what they wanted. as quick as mueller can say russians metals which we know they have done for decades. the more he can come out and say there was no collusion and we can focus on meddling aspects, that is great for the entire country. seems to be if i were robert mueller and i wanted to know what happened i would want to look into not just the trump campaign but the hillary campaign, maybe a lot of republicans running. why isn t there perhaps there is and we don t know enough about it because it hasn t gotten leaked out but i would think they would be talking to more people and have more questions. trying to figure out where russia was trying to infiltrate. why wasn t this a larger investigation? why was it just targeted at this administration and the trump campaign? that is an excellent question. the dnc failed to turn over the server. they didn t have the proper protocols in place to protect their software and systems. the question would become not just who knew what when, but what systems didn t they have in place and why, what have they done to strengthen them, who knew what was part of this. a lot of questions to be asked because they were the ones that not only got hacked but also action with respect to hillary and president clinton in dealing with russia, they were the ones that had the relationship said no question there was money going back and forth. the other side paying for opposition research on foreign soil. if you want to get upset about the meeting and trump tower with the russian attorney, you should get upset they paid someone to dig up on donald trump. i don t understand why there is not the same standard applied to both situations. it is pretty clearly, it is tilted against donald trump, recent studies show 92% of coverage about this president is negative. you can t help but wonder why all the things you just mentioned aren t happening, there were so many relationships, document paid for by the democrats to dig up dirt paid to russians. no one is asking those questions because we would hear about the leaks coming from the more those going in. i find it equally crazy that none of this data is being looked at. as far as we know. i have a hard time thinking we wouldn t know. at some point every nook and cranny, every person, who met with mueller, what they found, we have seen this time and again, leak after leak and to tell me they could have been interview and all these folks involved in hillary s campaign. it doesn t hold water. what shocked me about the infamous dossier was the fbi never bothered to force it. i am a journalist. i don t report something unless i know where the source is coming from, i checked my sources, etc. etc. yet we were willing to issue a fisa warrant based on this report commissioned for opposition research, that seems wacky to me. it wasn t made clear to the judge where the source was coming from. the document itself and underlying principle, letting the judge understand this was paid for by a political entity on another entity, the democrats versus trump. that would be important for the judge to know before issuing a warrant. you need to understand where the information is coming from and if it is coming from the other side that wants to do one side and you need to take that with a grain of salt or at least say we go back and double check or triple check before we start spying on our main citizens. you were around this administration in the early days, around this president. did you ever worry that he had been infiltrated by the russians? know, there are enough protocols put in place, not just secret service but cyber and other protection protocols put in place to protect the president and the white house. knowing all the people you knew on the campaign do you worry about any of them? know. during the campaign the media tried to portray a scenario we couldn t collude with ourselves and afterwards the story of vladimir putin and russia. it doesn t pass the smell test. sean spicer, good to see you. another big story we are following. an airline employee stole and crashed the plane near seattle was called suicidal. dan springer is there with the latest. reporter: this was a suicide, not any terrorism. 90 minutes of high tension, high drama, stole a commercial plane and flew around puget sound for 90 minutes and crashed into a small island. the video we have seen from a lot of people taking cell phone video is stunning. it shows the turboprop doing loops and flying close to the grounds. the 76 foot plane, norad quickly set up two f-15 fighter jets from portland to follow the plane and shoot it down if necessary. who knew what this guy was thinking. the man who stole the plane worked as a ground service agent. they deice planes in the winter and guide them to the gate, he joked with air traffic control about his flying skills even though he is not a pilot, he called himself broke and sounded suicidal, air traffic control tried to get the man to land at a nearby base and tried to keep him overwater so he was away from population centers. the pilot did not fly the plane south towards tacoma. an hour and a half later the crash was on a small island. officials say this was not terrorism. aviation expert say because the plane was a hanker for maintenance it might be hard to prevent. he had credentials, the ability to get out and be among the airplanes. hard to say we were to stop somebody from doing anything unless we figure he may have nefarious plots in mind. reporter: the plane thief was the only person on the plane, he perished in the crash. there are enormous amounts of people that the crash site. no news was able to get out there, stop the ferry from going. we can t get to the crash scene but did start a fire last night, 20 people live on that island between tacoma and olympia. the fbi is leading the investigation, not the ntsb which is not the case in a normal aviation crash because seems there is nothing to do with mechanics or the weather. this was only the fact of a guy who couldn t fly a plane, he did it for 90 minutes before crashing. or evidence of a double standard at the fbi. lindsey graham thinks so it is blasting the bureau for favoring democrats while not doing donald trump any favors is what is is evidence it is he right? we report, you decide, next. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that s why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. this was a counterintelligence investigation the fbi should have told donald trump they had concerns. why didn t they do for trump what they did for feinstein? republican senate judiciary committee member lindsey graham wants some answers from the fbi on one dianne feinstein was warned about a possible chinese spy working in her office at donald trump didn t get the same warning about potential russian spies in his campaign. attorney jenna ellis says senator graham is right and she joined me now. thanks for having me. he is absolutely right because the fbi should have granted donald trump, then candidate trump the same courtesy, if they had a concern, and as they did with senator feinstein, shouldn t have treated differently because he was a republican candidate from the democratic party so senator graham s concern is appropriate and mentions he is sending a letter to christopher raskin about the doj and fbi policies which is appropriate. the american people want to know if the fbi is treating people differently based on their political party appreciation. that is not what law enforcement is expected to do. it is not so much party affiliation as it is dislike of a particular candidate or a particular person. don t forget how disliked donald trump was by members of the fbir graham points out to the president himself first. what is your suspicion on that? why would they not have the same standard? peter stzrok lisa page answer that question with her text messages and everything that came out in the inspector general s report that the fbi had people in deep state that were establishment holdovers from the last administration that wanted hillary clinton to win so they were biased against specifically donald trump and wanted to do everything they could to prevent them being elected and now they say they are doing everything they can in terms of the russia investigation that the fbi didn t alert him to. not only to get reelected but to start impeachment process. to have the fbi, and unbiased, special prosecutor, the american people are questioning the legitimacy of those agencies because there s a double standard, truth is truth, factors fact, double standard needs to stop. trish: i brought this up with sean spicer. you wonder if vladimir putin has succeeded in creating the chaos, disruption and divisiveness he wants for the country because the more divided we are the more difficult it is for us to push our foreign policy agenda. if you really think this through, dan hoffman, fox news contribute are in former cia official told me he is very concerned that the russians basically prepared for either scenario. didn t necessarily care who won, they only wanted to disrupt us in the first place. do you think there is a possibility for that especially when you think about the judge not even getting noticed, where the dossier had come from before issuing a fisa want to spy on our own citizens. there is a lot of truth to that. donald trump is doing a wonderful job maintaining the contact with foreign officials, making sure he is treating vladimir putin correctly in terms of his position as president but he is having to walk the delicate balance by making sure he doesn t give the left anything they can come after which they will come after no matter what but executing his job well by pushing and advancing his foreign-policy on behalf of america. america s nightly scoreboard the policy has been tough with russia, the closeness with russia and it is good to see you for analysis this morning. the president tweeting plenty of stuff. did year about this, a new bill to pay for the border wall. before it aid, each of the citizens illegally entering our country. that is an idea? we will be bay, you decide, see you after this. motorcycle revving motorcycle revving motorcycle revving no matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. and just like tyrone taylor, they know what it takes to help keep you protected. are you in good hands?

it is very innovative. there are better ways we can do it than the wall, removing the welfare incentives would help us save money rather than having to spend money on a wall because people could do things like overstay their visas anyway which is more common. it is an innovative idea. i don t think it would get through because there would be stories about countries needing these funds for this or that. it is not a feasible solution but it is innovative. trish: could you just find them? don t allow people to have to come here illegally. state as possible lost to us to find other countries, look at this mathematically, the development of homeland security is talking about the cost of the wall being $20 billion. assume the president can build it much faster and under budget. then you are talking about 5 million people we have to charge, mathematically it doesn t work. mexico is not paying, we need plan b. it would be a matter of subtracting from what we give to other nations. i thought it was an intriguing idea and would be theoretically budget neutral. it is not intended to plan for the whole shebang. it offers something, talking $800 million a year if you are doing $2000 per illegal immigrant that comes into the country. it is an idea, trump promised us we would not fund the wall. if they put the billing somebody else s pocket absolutely. one of my concerns is what is going to happen to these people when they are deported back home? will the country find them or imprison them or worse as a result of them coming to the united states illegally and then costing them money? i wonder if somehow they will go after those people? not saying the united states would but you are both smiling. you want to have some humanity about the fact these people could end up being punished when they are deported. i agree but we have to work on things at home. the whole point about illegal immigration is it is illegal, they are not supposed to be her, got to do it the right way. america s nightly scoreboard can t just say we will take everyone from mexico. the economics of that would never work. as much as you want to help the world we need to be focused on people back home. that is a priority for this administration. i question whether the democratic party is much as they are pushing this borderless society whether that will play in new york. i don t think most americans want a borderless society. the democratic party or certain members of it have gone so far left saying abolish ice entirely, and no one was saying these things when obama was president. it is a bit reactionary against trump, doesn t represent how most americans feel, even americans who are liberal. senate democrats offer to fund $25 billion of the wall in exchange for 1.8 million undocumented daca recipients on up after legal citizenship. it was there but didn t go for it. do you think that is something that could happen or should happen? all the people that are here illegally right now? just grandfather you in and you have a path to citizenship, etc. doesn t that provide a perverse incentive going forward for other people who think i will come here because there s a chance i might have a path to citizenship? it could. your point is well taken about the fact a generous package of social welfare benefits and costly to those trying to feed their own families. to the president s credit deregulation and tax cuts, i would be happy to have an arrangement for a pathway, that would be less disruptive to deport people. and we have border security basing on this point, the ports of entry across the nation. this country is criticized for this, we may not be as humane as others. you are not getting into switzerland, it is very hard to get citizenship in place. one of the issues is great economy. a perfect opportunity. you are nonviolent and want to contribute to the economy you should be here illegally. make it easier in the right way as opposed we all agree. good to see you all. protesting the national anthem, the preseason kicks up. a formal player who says knock it off. that is next. how d that go?

why can t they just honor our country, the opportunities people have here including all of them, lots of money on the football field which is great, why is this happening? this talk about the nature of this industry, and arrogant and easily to be played, these young people are played big time. you have the president of the united states given an opportunity to advocate, to bring the family out of prison and told by the left not to spend time doing this, and have donald trump get any credit and massive the narrative of being a racist. what kind of man will stand by and let politics be the priority 7-5 vote, controlled by white, rich nfl owners. they have no control of it, they pull it back, $30 million commitment to look at percussion they pulled back. here is a sweet deal, van jones, a self-avowed marxist, actually was given $20 million for social justice on the football field. unlike jim brown, 30 years for formal contact or tony done g who works with one heart project, young people trying to get him out. i m trying to follow your thoughts. you are feeling tell me if i don t have this right but your belief is players are shortchanging themselves and their communities because they are protesting the national anthem when they should be looking for better opportunities for family members, economic opportunities, prison reform you just mentioned, so they are being put into a box and encouraged to do something you think is detrimental to them and their communities instead of being on board with economic opportunities. there is more to this than people respecting the flag. this is done on purpose, people who know better. i talk about the association of owners, these guys are putting things in place and showing americans something they are not coming through with. they are using and discarding young players, doing the same to the black community. trish: this is not good for the owners. a 5 or the owner of one of these teams, this is your job, you will get out there and show some respect for the country that has afforded all this opportunity. it is part of the package. football, americana, you stand for the national anthem. this is what the nfl is saying. in part the nfl has been engaged in constructive discussion with the nfl players association regarding the anthem and issues of equality and social justice while those discussions continue come the nfl has agreed to delay implementing or enforcing any club work rules that could result in players being disciplined for their conduct. they are not doing anything. roger goodell, $40 billion your paycheck, not doing anything and you know what is happening to football before turning it off. ratings are going down. they are not able to fill the stands with fans anymore not to the same extent when you look at ticket sales, because people are turned off. why aren t these business owners saying stop damaging our brand? we have to make sure we view these guys in the right way. these owners, pro-american like you and i are, these guys are globalists. understand globalists do not care about america. they care about profits. trish: profits are suffering. it is suffering here. the american brand, more attractive than china, brazil, wherever they want to go, that is what they are doing. they are looking at a global brand, 25 million projections, something you and i don t know about. trish: football is still american at its roots. i can understand the desire to bring it to other countries and have that sport be big in other places but still, coming from the us. all they need is tv revenue. believe me trish: you think is orchestrated by the owners of these teams and they are encouraging these guys to cause this disruption because maybe it will hurt the american brand. i m having troubling following that. they are planning i got to leave it there. an interesting perspective, thank you, good to have you here. the family of the korean war vet getting some closure as they receive their father s dog tags. that veteran s and joined us next. it is fidelity. i never would have dreamed i watched it on television. i would have not presumed one of those had anything related to my father. that gives reality to it. that is the thing.

why wait? ask your doctor about prolia. trish: an emotional moment, two sons receiving their father s dog tags decades after he went missing in the korean war. it was included in the remains of the us serviceman sent from north korea. joining us, sergeant mcdaniels s son, charles mcdaniels junior and larry with daniel, both are with us, good to have you guys here. this had to have been a pretty emotional time for you. what can you say? what closure does is provide? thank you. want me to speak first? go ahead. it has been an interesting week. over the years you basically put this aside and think there is not going to be any resolution and in the department of the army call us. we have been up and down a lot with our emotions and the interesting coincidence this week has been an update they are annually for missing in action. we have been there with many other families to interact with them and share in joyous recollection of the small token that is given to us and we felt it was for all those families, 700 people there. obviously there are moments it makes you rejoice that there is some small resolution. you were just 3 years old when your father went missing. that is correct. trish: do you have any recollection of him? i am sure you have some memories of hearing stories about him but 3 years old is so young but you grew up knowing he was gone. that is true. i have only one memory i can recall of his coming home and me running out to him and him picking me up and bouncing me around like fathers do a lot of times after work which is a warm memory. otherwise it is like you say, stories here and there. i remember a couple fragments coming back from japan after he had gone missing in action, quite a few families were in a similar situation, and were missing. we brought a troop ship that moved us from japan to hawaii. we put the big old life preserver is on. maybe not much at all. trish: what has it been like for you, larry? obviously was quite surprising out of 55 boxes, the single dog tag was our father s. were surprised. i have no memory of my father other than things i created as an image of what i think he is. trish: is it in any way shaping how you think about the north koreans that they were willing to do this? know, i don t think so. i m glad they were willing to do that but the vast number of people in the country don t necessarily, aren t represented, i don t think. it is a good thing we are making some progress. the big thing i want to come out of this is have our public realize how many thousands and thousands of people have defended this country and died for it in all the wars, not just the korean war and behind-the-scenes our government is working extremely hard to bring those people home. america s nightly scoreboard one of the things that the sting wishes us from many others and that is our respect for human life and the need to bring those people home. i am so glad your father is now home with you. would like to see the day. it is a small piece of tin but means a lot to us and a powerful similar symbol for all our families that there is some hope. for returning them all. trish: well said, thank you so much. we will be right back when you bundle your auto and home insurance with esurance, you could save with their single deductible. so if you confused the brake with the gas, or if your lamp post jumped out of nowhere, or if you forgot your bike was on the roof rack, you only pay one deductible -instead of two- for a claim involving both your auto and home. and when you save that much, it s almost like it. never even happened. that s auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. and over here i m having my birthday party. dj fluffernutter, hit it! dj fluffernutter simple. easy. awesome. ask how to get $300 back when you sign up for xfinity mobile, and purchase a new samsung phone. visit your local xfinity store today. mystery. there is such a culture of corruption. not only has the swamp not been drained, this administration is building all over it. this raises a question about draining the swamp. that is what donald trump proud to do once he got into office and this is a key ally who on the face of it these charges would suggest is engaging in very swampy behavior. donald trump ran for president on draining the swamp. this alleged behavior, my word, is swamptastic. trish: members of the media tying chris holland to donald trump saying trump s washington is swampy or than ever. congressman collins announced his defense of his reelection campaign. michelle ritchie, nan a worth, what do you think of this? chris collins did something wrong but the coverage has been disproportionate compared to what bob menon does god, deeply suspicious senator. corinne brown, both convicted of fraud barely covered by the networks, this has nothing to do with donald trump. trish: he campaigned on trying to get rid of the swamp so what do you do with swamp creatures? people are subject to corruption. doesn t matter if there s a d or r associated with them. we should recognize there is presumption of innocence no matter who these allegations are against but this is a bad one because insider-trading is based on trust, that is the core of it. to violate that trust, fiduciary responsibility, board member who released that information to family members and friends, to trade and avoid losses, classic insider trading. trish: you are in congress, we will not allow you to be able to trade. we will keep your money here in us treasuries. we are doing more exposing the swamp, not necessarily draining the swamp and what you are seeing from the press, i was a former reporter, part of our job is to sign a light on dark places and that is what we are seeing. coverage is going to be 1-sided, we live in a society where that is the press, one side more conservative, one side more liberal. more liberal for whatever reason. we can fairly say that. you have seen that in your experience at national review . a lot more on the left than on the right. many are trying to push their own agenda even though they say totally neutral. can t we unite and be anti-insider trading? people ask why don t you trust the government? because of the government, that is why i don t trust the government, there are people who get power and abuse it and take advantage of people, whether you are republican or democrat i agree with you on that. this is bad if you did a bad thing and i don t think it matters whether he is a republican or not. all of us can say this was bad and same with the women, we should say this is a bad thing. i don t get why this is so complicated. i don t understand. everything is so partisan. you are rooting for the other time to do insider-trading because then you can make fun of them for it. can we be anti-insider trading? trish: i am with that. we can agree on that. when you look at it the country as far as voters are split on how corrupt republicans are and how corrupt democrats are. it is almost even, 54% republicans, 46% for democrats. i agree. i get tired of hearing about it. people are tired of it and increasingly we will get away from the party s specific identity. think of the crossover. blue collar union workers that voted for trump in 2016. a path to citizenship for a lot of hispanics coming here, maybe here illegally, the republican party and some democrats nervous but the republican party might embrace them. a lot of changes going on and i question if people will vote for what they believe in as opposed to a specific platform. for what is best and not red or blue. vote for what is best. america s nightly scoreboard trish: what did neil say? not red, not blue, how about green. neil will be back next week. join me. i am on foxbusiness every day at 2:00 pm for the intelligence report. i hope to see you there. keep it right here on fox news for now. when my hot water heater failed it rocked our world. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you?
