shooter, an affluent retiree with a penchant for living in hotel rooms and we still don t know why stephen paddock did what he did. what set off a man who appears to have given no hint of the unprecedented violence he was to unleash on innocent fellow americans, trace gallagher is alive and las vegas. good evening, james, and there is a still no word on the motive. police are saying that they will find one. we are now learning a lot more about what was happening before and during the attack inside that hotel room it. i assure you this investigation is not ending with the demise of mr. paddock. these pictures were taken in the aftermath of the shooting. investigators are continuing their work there. seek out there were cameras located outside of the room and inside the room, along with the firearms, i anticipate he was looking for anybody who is going to come and take him into custody. they also tell fox news that paddock, the heavy gambler, send tens of thousands of dollars overseas, possibly to his girlfriend. i can t tell you her current whereabouts right now. all i know as the philippines. currently, she is a person of interest. president trump briefly shared his reaction with reporters. i do have to say how quickly the police department was able to get in was really a very much of a miracle. they have done an amazing job. he had a lot of problems, i guess, we are looking into him very seriously, but we are dealing with a very, very sick individual. individuals continue to say the massacre was planned well in advance. amateur video provided by two men who stayed in the same room from where paddock rained down his terror shows a clear view that he had of the concert venue. they say that he arrived thursday with ten suitcases. they later found 23 firearms in his hotel suite, another 19 guns, thousands of rounds of ammunition, explosives, and electronics were found in his retirement community home in mesquite, nevada. also, merging today, portraits of the victims. among the slain, a tennessee nurse, and alaskan commercial fishermen, a canadian mechanic from british columbia, and a california middle school office manager. and you earlier heard the sheriff say there were cameras mounted outside of the hotel room, one of those cameras was actually on a hotel service cards in the hallway. and the sheriff was also doubling back now on the girlfriend, marilou danley, and they are actively working to bring her back from the philippines. clearly, they believe that she knows more than she is letting on. it james. james: it trace gallagher, on the scene. catherine has been working her sources since word of this horrific event broker, and she joins me on such an out. what have you learned? we have it to contacts who have been able to review inventory of the weapons. and these are expensive guns, price range between 15 and when you put it all together, you re looking at the investment of over $100,000. we know some of the weapons were purchased in june or maybe even more recently, it at least takes us back in the premeditation question. probably around three months. james: that is what trace gallagher reported on, it may speak to premeditation. there were also indications that the shooter modified at least one of his weapons, what do you know about that? our contacts are saying that law enforcement has at least two receipts for something called a side fire, this is a modification that allows you to take a semiautomatic weapon so that it can mimic an automatic weapon. i have had different assessments as to how easy it is to make the modification that you can actually do it yourself, but the focus of the weapon james: precision. exactly, if you are spraying indiscriminately, that would not be a big deal to you. james: that would also indicate some level of technical proficiency, if he is aiming to modify it, and we know that investigators are, as they always do, following the money trail. and what is that telling us? they are looking at all of his financial transactions, and tens of thousands of dollars, which there is a lot of confusion over the location of the girlfriend, the sheriff said yesterday that she was in japan, he said today that she was in fact in transit. they now feel pretty confident that she is in the philippines, and our contacts are saying that they are trying to determine whether he sensed that money out to her in advance. it was a significant amount of time. the way in which they are describing the girlfriend. initially, she was someone who had no role, then she was someone they wanted to talk to, and now they are using that phrase person of interest. so you can see that this is escalating, in terms of her importance. james: so they are going to question her? it looks like it, they said that they are expecting to have information from her. it is not clear if she is coming back voluntarily or if they will do an interview overseas. the fbi has the ability to do that, and that would be someone on the ground in the philippine philippines. james: catherine, thank you thank you. calls for new gun control measures, or what champions of the second amendment s say, but previous mass shootings have not produced such laws. mike emanuel reports tonight on whether the sign will be different. we should not first be thinking of promoting our political agenda. the nation is counting on you. speak out the gun debate hits close to home and congress, with members of both parties nearly killed six years apart. steve scalise just back from being shot in june, and an exclusive interview with martin mccallum, he is emphasizing the victims and the first responders. the first thing we should be thinking about is praying for the people who were injured and to do whatever we can to help them, to help law enforcement. on the other side, he joins his wife, gabby giffords, arguing for gun control. we can keep guns out of the hands of criminals, domestic abusers, you know, potential mass of shooters, idiots. today, president trump wasn t speaking about first responders, not the gun debates. they have done such an incredible job, and we will be talking about gun laws. hillary clinton and jumped into the politics hours into the attack it, imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the nra wants to make easier to get it. house are considering a bill that would only require a background check to buy a silencer, which they say is designed to protect the hearing of hunters. i don t know when it will be scheduled, we are focused on balancing the budget. today, i am calling on the president to come out against the absurd law about silencers. we must put an end to that bill. that s built now appears to be on hold, mitch mcconnell says it is premature to talk about any other legislative options, while the las vegas attack is still being investigated. james. james: micah, thank you. president trump will go to las vegas tomorrow. he has spent much of today coping with another catastrophe and an area touched by that disaster. this one produced by nature, the present to speaks with officials and citizens in puerto rico. two weeks after hurricane maria devastated the island, we have fox coverage. we are in san juan with a look at conditions on the ground, outside the glare of a presidential visit. we begin with the john roberts, and a trip that was of necessity, as much political as it was humanitarian. good evening, john. the president has been taking heat from democrats in washington at some local officials in puerto rico for a response that was described as a slow and ineffective. today, the president went to see for himself, and to defend the federal response. speak up more than a week after he had hoped to visit puerto rico to survey damage from hurricane irma, president of trump touchdown in the island. he was heaping praise on the federal relief efforts. i think the job of the first responders has been something like i have never seen. he met with local officials and first responders, joking that s the hits had to stretch federal dollars a little thin. now, i hate to tell you, puerto rico, but you have thrown our budget out of whack. we have spent a lot of money on puerto rico, and that s fine, we have saved a lot of lives. rebuilding their infrastructure will take a lot of money, but to be joke fell flat with democrats. mr. president, enough. stop blaming puerto rico for the storm that devastated their shores. i don t remember the president at telling taxis that stay through our budget out of whack. the president also had high praise for the governor, a president who puts politics aside. i just want to tell you that right from the beginning, this governor did not play politics. he did not play them at all. he was saying it like it was, and he was giving us high praise. he expressed his gratitude to the president. we are grateful to the presidents. the federal government. president of trump also briefly shook hand with san juan mayor cruz. after the deed to exchange words over the weekend. she said that her criticism was not about politics. as he was leaving the white house this morning, president trump suggested that cruz was changing her tune. wall, i think she has come back a long way. you know, i think it has now been acknowledged with a great job we have done. the president spent some time at meeting with people in a neighborhood of san juan, then at a local church, where he joined in a few celsius and handed out some supplies. james: the mayor of a san juan later said that she had a very productive meeting with white house staff, they fully understood the disconnect with how things are supposed to happen and how they really happened. federal responders told fox news last week that the disconnect was about how the governor agreed to set things up to serve local officials, and how the mayor of san juan thought they should be set up. james. james: john roberts on the north along tonight. thank you. there is of course much more to the devastation in puerto rico than what any visiting official can see in a few hours. reporting from san juan tonight, mike tobin it takes us beyond the presidential visit. when they say it is getting better in puerto rico, that means gas lines are down for less than an hour. it is a far cry from normal. transactions are still all-cash, so the lines pile up at the atm. most hospitals operate on emergency generators, which is supposed to be temporary. the elderly and weak helplessly swelter with no air conditioning. the top general leading puerto rico s recovery emphasizes distribution of food, water, and medicine, but says that everything ultimately goes back to the issue of power. if you re talking about a hospital, it is depending on generator power, then i am worried about the generators. are we giving them enough gas? the further that you get from the coast or the city, the worse things get. two hours outside of san juan, people are still washing clothes in the river and gathering water from an underground stream it. the percentage of people with power is in the single digits. they now say that 100% of fema containers have cleared the bottleneck at the port of san juan. aid is on the road it to people who need it, and a space is freed up actually ported to receive more supplies. the dam, which is threatened to fail, received repairs. and power crews are back in the neighborhoods. leaders of the relief effort say that they only make decisions based on what can be done and what needs are greatest. i have not seen a single decision that was made thinking about the politics back in d.c. the puerto rican sticking out of the rubble wanted one thing from the president, an answer to the question of one things will return to normal. leaders of the relief effort say that that question is too big it, the problem is to bake it, and there are too many moving parts to provide a solid answer. a james. james: mike tobin, reporting from san juan under difficult conditions. if you own a home, and if some congressional republicans have their way, you will have

believed it to have been affected by it somewhat sonic attack in cuba. in response, secretary of state has ordered the expulsion of a large number of cuban diplomats. we have the details next from the state department tonight. good evening. state department is expelling 15 cuban diplomats from the united states. they have seven days to leave the country. secretary of state directs a tillerson that says that this is in response to cuba s inability to do this. one more confirmed american victim, described as a sonic attacks. it they say that to the and cuban governments are still investigating these bizarre attacks and have identified no culprit or a cause. we are not assigning any blame, we don t know who or what is causing this. cuba has a responsibility to ensure the safety and security of our diplomatic family. in response, cuba says that the governments of cuba has no responsibility whatsoever in the alleged incident. and that they strictly observe their obligations. we consider that the decision announced by the department is hasty, and it will affect the bilateral relations. the state department audit all nonessential american staff to leave cuba, officials say that those diplomats will be out of there by the end of this week. the state department says that they have ordered cuban and diplomats out of the u.s. to assure that each country has equal staffing. it now, the state department official stress that these policies change nothing towards our policy. we still have diplomatic relations, though the trump administration isn t scaling back the policies that the obama administration and active, moving the two governments closer, as he reported in detail, james. james: a lot still to learn about this. and an update to now on the nuclear deal that is supposed to keep iran from developing nuclear weapons. president trump has still not tipped his hand about whether he intends to walk away from that a court, now know about the secretary of defense, that they are advising them of. jennifer griffith reports tonight from the pentagon. the president has 12 days to certify that iran has complied with the nuclear deal negotiated by his predecessor. it today it the defense secretary told congress that iran is complying with the deal, known as the jcpoa. i do believe that it has delayed the development of a nuclear capability by iran. do you believe it is in our interest to remain in this? that is a yes or no question. yes, senator, i do. at the u.n. last month, president trump indicated that he has already made up his mind. he has called it the worst of deal ever negotiated. if the president decertified, congress then has 60 days to reimpose that sanctions on iran, while tensions increased over in other country s nuclear program. they have said that the u.s. is not talking to north korea, and oppression left last weekend by secretary of state rex tillerson. all we are doing is probing, we are not speaking with them. tillerson and the president are not on the same page. i do not see this as strongly as interpreted. today, the armed services committee were supposed to focus on the strategy in afghanistan. we are not at the point where we can bring a successful political solution. the time is not yet right to negotiate with the taliban. today, the army identified who was killed. a specialist alexander, age 20, of tyler, texas. the deployment of service members may delay some combat units overseas. the general added that there are now over 10,000 u.s. troops on the ground in puerto rico. it james. james: jennifer, at the pentagon tonight. and now to troubled region of catalonia and spain, blocked highways and closed schools and businesses, they continued their effort to gain independence from spain. correspondent benjamin hall has the latest from london. the city of barcelona has been brought to a standstill. locals vented their anger at the crackdown by spanish security forces. 300,000 people took to the streets, and a general strike was called. the metro was closed. it traffic was jammed around the region. the barcelona soccer club is joined the. the message to the crowd was a simple. we are going to stand strong. even though they try to put us down. they sent in riot police to stop the bandit referendum. people were injured. they showed it that those who voted overwhelmingly backed independence. the turnout was the only cause of dissent. many now say that the aggressive spanish response only strength end of the independence movement. before we entered this referendum, polls were still coming out saying that the majority did not want to separate from spain. that has completely changed now. tonight, their actions were called illegal and a risk to the economy, while urging all spaniards to show unity. but the people protesting across the region today are clear. ansley calls for independence will only grow stronger. the spanish government will do everything it accounts for around 20% of the national economy, and this at a time when the rest of the country faces severe financial hardship. james: reporting from london. next, the next big case to be argued before the supreme court. here

would they dissuaded voters from even heading to the polls? whether it is a democratic or republican, the results, using this, it is preordained and most of the districts, what becomes of the precious right to vote? but when opponents exploit the process call it a threat to democracy, and attack a left better to judges, roberts responded the whole point is you are taking these issues away from democracy, and you are throwing them to the courts, and it may simply be my educational background, but i can only describe this as sociological gobbledygook. it is one of the potentially landmark cases on the court s docket. there is only one prediction that is entirely safe about the upcoming term, and that is it will be momentous. also, forced union induced. sports betting, and to the intersection of religious freedom and antidiscrimination laws. in the case of a colorado beggar who turned it down a job for a same-sex ceremony. i welcome everyone into my shop, i just don t create cakes for every events that is presented to me. and of course, these so called a travel ban. is this a political judgment? the court has been a very reluctant to tread into areas where it could be viewed as making a political judgment that is confined to the executives. the travel ban case was set to be argued next week it, but after the administration issued yet another revised version, the court pulled it off of the calendar and asked both sides to explain whether the issue is now moot. see you on this is challenge to the present. what happens next? so, by thursday, both sides have two filed briefs at noon, explaining why this case should proceed and the court should hear it. the fact is that the administration will probably argue very hard on that point. they want the supreme court to step in and rule. it could be back on the counter next week. we will stand by. james: shannon bream, who juggles a lot here at fox news. the head of the health and human services department said she found it unusual when harry reid asked her to meet with senator bob menendez about a medicare billing dispute in 2012. this testimony marks the latest twist in the menendez bribery and corruption at trial. here is our correspondent, david lee miller. they were greeted as he arrived for a day 15 of his bribery trial. appearing under subpoena, prosecution witness, former health and human services secretary testified about a meeting involving senator menendez. according to the prosecution, he was given thousands of dollars in gifts and political contributions in exchange for menendez using his influence to help the doctor in business deals. in august 2012, the secretary attended a meeting with menendez at the office of then senate majority leader harry reid, she has told the quote everybody did some talking, but senator menendez, it was his meeting, so he presented the issues he was concerned about. prosecutors say there was only one issue concerning menendez, convincing his it secretary to change medicare policy to benefit the doctor, who was appealing a medicare decision that he overhauled the agency $8.9 million. sebelius told the court the discussion involves policy, this case has triggered. the defense has tried to show that there were other subject defense, but sebelius held firm. do you agree with her characterization of that meeting? as i have told you, i will speak about this trial in the courtroom. does that mean you are going to testify? in earlier testimony, a former medicare official testified that the senator had an aggressive tone during a 2009 phone calls. that call ended abruptly, when the senator realized he wasn t going to get what he wanted. james. james: to david lee miller reporting from newark, new jersey. the republican-controlled house has just passed a bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. the measure is supported by science that unborn babies by that time to feel pain. critics call it the bill unconstitutional and part of a strategy to ban all abortions. at the metro faces strong opposition. one of the greatest rock stars of our time has died. at tom petty at suffered cardiac arrest and was found unconscious and not breathing and his malibu home last night. he died in the ucla medical center. he rose to fame in the 1970s, and last week, wrapped up his 40th anniversary tour. he was also one fifth of the supergroup, with bob dylan and others. tom petty, dead at 66. ike most people. but on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain. fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i m glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. and improves function. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. don t drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don t drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who ve had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can do more with my family. talk to your doctor today. see if lyrica can help. our guests can earn a free night when they book at choicehotels.com and stay with us just two times? fall time. badda book. badda boom. pumpkin spice cookie? i m good. book now at choicehotels.com james: the eight-year assn your second amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end. you came through for me, and i am going to come through for you. i know when he ran, the power of the nra, the money of the nra, but maybe he can have a bit of a reawakening because of the horror of what happened, as he goes to las vegas treats big i don t think talking about gun issues right now is the right time. ending at gun violence, is it political? is it personal? has this changed how you feel about any of that? i think it has fortified edg edge. james: and many americans tonight and no doubt fortified by prayer, and where some may pray that an event like the las vegas massacre not to become politicized release not so soon, those prayers will go on her tonight. let s bring in our panel. charles hart, opinion editor for the washington times. mara, we may be tempted to believe that we have seen this before in terms of a push for gun control after it some mass shooting like this. is this going to end the same way? i think so. if after sandy hook, when you had all those little kids gunned down, there was no push or no receptive ability for gun control in the u.s. congress, i would say at this probably will me to the same however, donald trump hasn t made it policy prescriptions, you could call that politicizing right after other mass shootings. generally, if they were committed by a muslim, he says that we need the muslim ban. so there is precedent for talking about this. i do think that s one of the results of this will be to slow down some of the republican efforts in congress to loosen gun restrictions. i don t think it is going to go in the other direction. james: the presidents made an interesting comment earlier, he said we will be talking about gun laws as time goes by. this raises the question of whether the president is open to some kind of legislative remedy to what happened in las vegas. this was the subject of a very interesting exchange between the reporter jonathan swann and the president s former chief strategist, steve bannon. and i am quoting now. i asked him if he could see him going to the left on this. impossible, would be the end of everything. bannon replied as hard as it is to believe, actually worse. charlie. i don t think that president trump is going to disappoint his supporters on this front. not because of any promise that he made it to them and not because of the nra, but finding a good solution to a problem like this is incredibly difficult. and you know, you have democrats who like the idea of more laws, and they talk about the power that s the nra has, the power of the gun industry. that is not why useless laws after senseless violence like this are not popular. it is because of people. people who own guns, and when people see something like this, slaughter, in las vegas, the basic thing that they think about is the fact that governments at all levels failed to protect them, there basic rights as innocent citizens, and when you have that, the average person does not turn and think i think we need more laws. the average person says i am going to get more guns, and i m going to get more ammo. and all across america, there were people doing that today. a better drummer for the other country band, or the guitarist, he said a look at, we have guns. everyone in my band has guns, if we had tried shooting back at, police would have shot us. we are not talking about confiscating people s guns. we re talking about the why should people have assault rifles? why is that they right? first of all, part of the problem is that assault rifle is kind of this made a media term. it is a rifle that keeps one of a couple of static qualities. i do think there is an opening for doing something about these conversion kits. these a bump, people like to talk about how these are illega illegal, they haven t been legal in america for a really long time. i think there have been three crimes in the last 70 years committed with a machine gun. but if everyone can accept this, including gun rights advocates, that s machine guns should be illegal, it seems to me that there is wiggle room to say that it turning your rifle into a machine gun is at least a violation of the spirit of the law. basically, i am with charlie on this. the problem that they democrats face on the gun control push is that this is essentially one of these cultural bubble issues. liberals, this is a generalization, but urban liberals it just don t know people who have guns, they don t understand why he would want to have a gun. and we have about a third of american households having guns, and the proposed remedy will almost never do anything to stop any of these mass shootings which we have seen, and meanwhile, one last point, actual gun crimes have been trending downward for 30 years in this country. that is what jeff sessions said. they say that there is all of this carnage, but mass shootings have been up, the media spectacle. let s introduce some more raw data for our discussion very quickly. james: let s look at some up all mys that was done recently. this was in late in june, a margin of error only at 3%. these are the voters, their views on stricter gun laws. at 54% support them, only 42% oppose them. let s keep moving. how many of them are buying at guns who feel that buying guns is too easy? 57%. too difficult to buy a gun, only 6%. then you keep it moving. if more people carried guns, do you think that the united states would be safer, less safe, or unsure? if more people carried guns, 35% of american people say that we would be safer. 57% say less safe. so then we go to the nbc wall street journal poll, which was also done recently, just last month, do you or does anyone anywhere household own a gun of any kind? answering yes was 48%. that is an all-time high. so mara, isn t it charlie right when he says that on the behalf of ordinary citizens, it is not that we should tighten the gun lawns but that we should have more guns? they are not mutually exclusive. i don t care if people go out and buy guns legally, but by the way, the reason why that s a law was passed was because of al capone. that is how old it is. then why shouldn t we allow also outlaws the ability to make your gun into a machine gun? we are not talking about confiscating people s guns or preventing them from getting them. but a lot of people are talking about confiscating guns. i am not. i just don t want a guy to be able to stand in his hotel room and created that amount of carnage. nobody does. james: next up, president trump visits puerto rico. ole, and i had to make a claim and all that? is that whole thing still dragging on? no, i took some pics with the app and. filed a claim, but. you know how they send you money to cover repairs and. they took forever to pay you, right? no, i got paid right away, but. at the very end of it all, my agent. wouldn t even call you back, right? no, she called to see if i was happy. but if i wasn t happy with my claim experience for any reason, they d give me my money back, no questions asked. can you believe that? no. the claim satisfaction guarantee, only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it. if you look at the real catastrophe like katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds of people that died, what is your death count? 16 people certified. 16 people versus in the thousands. you can be very proud. he complains about puerto rico throwing our budget off, while proposing tasks cuts for millionaires that will cost millions of dollars. it boggles the mind. mr. president, stop complaining. start making situations better. james: all right, tough words from a senate minority leader, chuck schumer. did it his visit to puerto rico accomplish what he could have wanted to accomplish? i think so, and i think also the politics of puerto rico, obviously, democrats trying to get this up a little bit over the last couple of days. it is going to be somewhat subsided based on what has happened in las vegas, but i thought that was an interesting thing for schumer to complain about. i took trump s kind of funny remark about looking around at officials in puerto rico saying you are really throwing our budget out of whack. i took that to mean he was talking about all of these spending crises before the hurricane hit. and it is something we are going to have to talk about. james: let s play the sound bite it about which senator schumer was speaking. mick mulvaney is here. and now, i hate to tell you, puerto rico, but you have thrown our budget a little out of whack. we have spent a lot of money on puerto rico. that s fine, we have saved a lot of lives. james: mara, is it the case that when there is a natural disaster of this kind of severity, no matter who the republican president would be at that time, the democrats are going to try to portray that individual as heartless, slow, as what kania was famously said about george w. bush, that they don t care about people of color or minorities, what have you? isn t this kind of a standard thing that we would hear? i don t know, i don t remember hearing that about george h.w. bush. but what i do think is that they will do that if they are given any material to work with. i thought that the present was getting. i did not take that as some sort of bad moment for him. i thought there were other things that he did, kind of minimizing the death count, which is going to go up, not so much because of the storm itself. and to the fact that he didn t seem to exhibit a whole lot of empathy for the suffering down there, but that particular comment, i thought he did ingest, but yes, no doubt, that there is a kind of caricature or trope about republican presidents not caring about minorities or poor people. sometimes republican presidents walk right into that trap, just as there is a trope about democrats being a big spenders and that not caring about the budget. but trump has given his opponents a lot to work with, not necessarily on this trip, but certainly where he got totally sidelined by a silly feud that he initiated with the mayor of san juan. james: and the mayor of san juan, one of president trump s critics illness was tweeting on her own today. she tweeted at one point they really understood that the disconnect between how things are supposed to happen and how they really happened. she added that hopefully the newly opened channels of communication will help us accomplish our goals, save lives. the president it seemed it to be saying that the merit was walking back her initial criticism, but it seems that she was only complementary hear of the white house staff. yeah, i don t like the way that donald trump has handled a lot of this in terms of the rhetoric. i think that he created some needless problems, with his administration handling harvey and irma remarkably well. just as democrats are looking for an opportunity to call republicans races, the media is looking for this it being disastrous or ill managed, and they couldn t find it. at least nothing that stuck. and i think that one of the frustrations that the trump administration had was they lost that political capital with puerto rico. maybe they fixed a little bit of it this week, but i think a donald trump, i don t like the way that he talks about that. i don t think it is in his best interest, but he is right. this is a monumentally difficult problem logistically that is so different than these other hurricanes. to speed on very quickly, your favorite tom petty song. don t come around here no more. free falling it. see want to thank you all. when we come back at, a boy from argentina who sounds suspiciously like a squeaky toy. turns out there is a very good reason for that. stay with us. you owned your car for four years. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends, three jobs. you re like nothing can replace brad. then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement™, we ll pay for a car that s a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. james: finally tonight, on a night when we can all assuredly use a laugh, kids say and do the darndest things, including sometimes swallowing things they should not. one boy in argentina swallowed this tiny white squeaker causing the lab to sound like a new year s eve reveler whenever he breathed. james: the boy is find out, maybe a bit embarrassed after his dad posted the video to facebook saying the moral of the story is to be careful about what you let your kids play with. not that we like to make fun of children on this program or anywhere on fox news but that was kind of irresistible with the squeaking noise, i think we all agree. words to live by, thanks for watching special report, on james rosen, bret baier is back in the chair tomorrow night. good night from washington, the story with martha maccallum and her exclusive interview with congressman steve scalise is next. martha: breaking news in the las vegas investigation tonight, i martha maccallum and this is the story in las vegas. and here on capitol hill. two american cities to struggling to extreme violence. in vegas, chile new video, the shooters were in disarray at mandalay bay, his twisted work coming into focus tonight. his girlfriend is now a person of interest, 45 of his victims are in critical condition tonight. just a short time ago we heard from the clark county sheriff. we received a call at 10: 10:08:00 p.m., best of our estimates and video review, he continued to fire
scene from the love drones must seem like an angels of death. the gods can see you . all the time. a toy has turned into a deadly weapon. has this become our god. televisa the white city so far away from and yet so near to war at the beginning of our journey i want to visit a country that is mentally and often physically at war. that disappears a lifetime is a promise without a thought yeah somewhere like we are in israel aerospace industry was one of the leading manufacturers of drones day the army and his two colleagues invented something here four decades ago they call themselves the three musketeers without it. and the three of you are this is your first three of you know that i m sort of this is was the first that will be getting in seventy seven. and nineteen seventy seven where we began to develop it from scratch so been nothing was happening and we were thinking we knew with that we have to do a flying camera so we will begin to think about it and then this is it three years after we put it out. this configuration everybody a. graphic of us it was really a joke because we were we were playing because the toys. always money. with. the jet engines and we were really. out of the time we were really it was a joke. today then you ll see that there was. a first increase to the platform because you know. when you re eating the appetite is coming with a buy it. we are allowed into the ground control station. ok so i m now i m so frightened see. what do you feel when you sit down. this is not the fly doing ok i think you are very with the keyboard was a keyboard have to sit here or we did mouth. to mouth so now it s i could really even see people exactly and i would i can go down with my camera with the camera on your mic and you can switch between day and night. i thing is it would be better if you re used to that i don t play video games but i think if you re used to said you can handle that thing better so basically you need the skill for a high school kid knows how to play you we used to look in florida. do you get like somehow close to someone if you if you follow him for what you. know for me the objects are given the code names sometimes it s in the names of banana and this is there the names i have no idea who he is. family nothing. that s why i can keep it professionally and objectively to perform my mission can you show us a bit how it looks like if you if you track and talk at someone how does it look like so where you can see in this video. it was taken during cast lead operation in gaza in january two thousand and nine as you can see here this is still dressed as an israeli soldier as you can see carries a firearm and have a back radio device looks like one of our soldiers he s also wearing a uniform. uniform but after a short investigation. as i mentioned we can look at investigated tell get that he doesn t wear a helmet on his head and he s missing did something with his hands so we find out that he s preparing improvised explosive device. looks like an injured person ok if you can see two legs and a body it s actually a dummy. but. he s hiding improvise it s those explosive devices beneath the dummy this is not the behavior of an i.d.f. soldier ok this is a gave off a terrorist wasn t explicit this is was an attack helicopter that we call the helicopter in order to attack the terrorist that is hiding here but since we didn t want him to hit the uninvited civilians the bomb here made almost not damage at all so he told the helicopter helicopter pilot to shoot again this time he aimed a little bit closer so the wall collapsed but the tail was syrian man alive so he called for a ground forces in other places there were in the house explode everything but here make sure that none harm will be done so on involved. i prefer that my mission is going to be to save lives. and not the other way around but the. reality is really is not that simple unfortunately. at the border to gaza we hear shots. we are stunned by the surveillance devices balloons with cameras attached. watching everything predicting everything a logic that does not prevent war. in july two thousand and fourteen a thirteen heavily armed attackers from the military arm of hamas crawled through a tunnel into israeli territory. total surveillance and the deployment of high tech seemed to provoke arcane countermeasures. where were this war game and. this is how it began in america since nine eleven the american government has been deploying drones and other instruments more and more for surveillance and for targeted killing. the n.s.a. of a home. about n.s.a. surveillance and surveillance drones are to a certain degree a so-called response of challenge this challenge in this case. this means the attackers no longer wear uniforms or openly carry a weapon or launch attacks or move in a unit across real or imaginary borders instead they come from deep within the social space in the cities or towns or wherever that s where they operate and that means you cannot deter them. like when you. so in consequence you have to act in a much more preventative manner if you want to stop them. but that means you have to know what they re going to do. and you can only do that through dragnet surveillance and even if course you know there are political alternatives if our society were heroic one way you could say we don t want this sort of surveillance the probability that we might die terrorist attack is no higher than that of us dying in a household accident you know we accept that it was. but our society isn t that heroic finds we re willing to take our chances with accidents and we accept them with sullen indifference from this but we can t accept this sort of terrorist threat post. and because we are opposed to roic societies we demand surveillance and security systems and including preventative ones. no if i know if i can buy fish by then you can only call drones cowardly if you are more willing to accept the risk of death and steady to name. this. if that s the case we have to accept that a post heroic society brings forth the post heroic weapon. but i don t and the drone and all its trappings post is simply opposed to relock weapon one has said that the weapon is the essence of the fighter yes and in light of that the drone and its deployment however it s used is the essence of the post heroic society. fighting by means of a monitor. killing in the same way. we play or is it the other way around. but. i don t like that it was. all over the world any one second you know you could fill dozens and even hundreds of madison square gardens you know with the amount of people that are playing this game it s incredible i mean it s becoming like sports it s people are earning a living out of it it s very competitive and i think it s great and it s not something we ever imagined when we first started making this game. even the advertising trailer for call of duty shows possible reasons for the games popularity it combines violence heroic poses and futuristic more technology. than. it is do like you know yeah. it s funny because i remember just watching it remember so many of the stories that you know that happened when we were making the game and many fun memories trigger in my mind when i watch that. it s really fun going to work and. you know you see a lot of a lot of future type stuff where you get a lot of these energy weapons like laser guns and all these kind of thing and we wanted to stay away from that because. we feel that s sort of too little too science fiction for us. but it actually opened our eyes as to you know that restriction aside how how much is actually being worked on right now there s just some crazy stuff going on drones in particular. it s fascinating to see where this will go because drones now have these things called mission packages where you can actually autonomously program a drone to go on a mission completely on its own no human interaction needed and this technology exists today. you know the day when you will have a drone that can have a mission package to go somewhere target somebody take them out and then return is an incredibly scary world. to paris air show is the biggest aerospace trade fair in the world and a marketplace for military machines. where s this development heading we re hoping to get some answers. please welcome to the podium the secretary of the united states air force debra lee james mann. well good morning to you in usa you are looking sharp good morning everybody as i said yesterday we in the air force like to talk about global vigilance global reach global power but you can t get any of that without global industry backing us up and also without our global partnership so we re very very grateful for all of that because you see collectively you and i all of us together we are all air power and today air power. our is air and it s face and cyber we are all collectively air power and keep in mind and spread the word air power without us you live is thank you very much. after months of trying an american film crew is allowed to enter the plant and general atomics as a german crew we constitute a security risk. this is the predator b. aircraft you can carry three thousand pounds of payload beneath its wings another seven hundred fifty found payload in similar hardpoint. and let me say without reservation the future of remotely piloted aircraft is right and this company is represented above that in the last twenty five years we have logged over three million flight hours with our remotely piloted aircraft and it s interesting to note that that curve is exponential the more we produce the more it s flown in fact in that two thousand and fourteen we flew nearly five over five hundred thousand flight hours in one year alone. and i think it s interesting to note that every second of every day there are fifteen seven of our aircraft airborne worldwide. making soldiers into heroes has long been a tradition not just in america. his willingness to sacrifice himself is what makes a soldier deployable. what value do so-called soldierly virtues have in a future where on men machines dominate the battlefield. but their technicians we already have these kinds of people there in the air force and they scare me they frighten me these are people who have no ethics they have no morals they are amoral they are a political they have no real concerns about anything but the technology and stronger. so it can valley in california has produced thousands of these people i meet them i talk with them i see them and i understand them i think and it scares me they have no ethical compass at all they re question is how do i perfect the technology how do i make the technology do what my customer wants it to do or what i wanted to do and how do i refine the technology as i go along there is no ethical component to their thought we are producing these people today in our universities in our corporations in our society and they are frightening people. if people no longer half ethics could ethics perhaps be built into the machines we fly to atlanta to the georgia institute of technology i have read that professor vonage i can is doing research on an ethics software for robots. the most depressing work that i had to do was studying human behavior in battlefield environments the battlefield environment brings often in many human beings in some cases the best i mean you can see noble examples these unfortunately are highlights or exceptions in many cases but often we see atrocious behavior literally atrocious behavior where noncombatants are slaughtered and justifiably in the battlefield reading and studying human behavior in the battlefield as part of the work that i did is what caused me to think that we can create robotic systems that can outperform human beings in this case they can act in a more rational i would contend that might sound strange but a more rational manner under these sets of circumstances without having fear of self-destruction or anger or frustration imbedded within them to be able to come up potentially with better decisions for this. the real question is how can we take what human beings have already decided is ethical behavior and make sure that the robot complies with that so what we do is extract from those laws the principles that say you re allowed to do this and you re not allowed to do that we do that with our war fighters as well too we tell our soldiers you re allowed to do this and you re not allowed to do that they don t reason from first principles in terms of deriving international humanitarian law where in the battlefield they ve been told what is right and what is wrong and in essence we re doing the same thing with the robot we re telling it what s right and wrong to code in this particular case. using a software called ethical governor the votes of the future should control themselves and develop a guilt sensor. in the scenario depicted here an unmanned probe craft is bad on a search and destroy mission. while performing its mission you know in manner of craft encounters an enemy convoy within the designated kill zone. the robot searches through its choice available weapons and weapon release positions for a combination that can simultaneously satisfy the allegation and the laws of war all striving to minimize civilian collateral damage. after battle damage assessment has occurred for about compares the actual damage yes make it prior to the engagement the resulting battle damage exceeds that expected by the robot going to have to compute a guilt value corresponding to the actual excessive damage incurred. there s got value in the rod macqueen dibley plausible model is computed as a function of a range of articles quoting the military necessity associated with the target and mission the number of casualties including combatant noncombatant friendlies and the amount of civilian structural day. image sustained. as a consequence when gold levels increase or as weapon systems are deactivated by the ethical adaptor relation to their destructive potential. the a. as always there are different perspectives. that if the map that of the camera from above and that of the phone camera from milan. eat. my car can t be ethical or not my of it can t be ethical or not my robot can t be ethical or not it can be designed with the designer trying to be ethical or the user trying to be ethical but the machine itself is that it is a machine second it assumes that you are not facing a thinking fellow who will take advantage of that programming. you could build a awesome. machine gun armed ground robotic system there s versions like this right now and one of the best counters to it. will be a six year old with a can of spray paint. because it will put an incredible dilemma on the other side you will either have to shoot. technically an armed six year old or. watches that six year old walks out. phrase paint right over the sensors and defeats your super advanced robot. that s the point is where where we re in this space where i don t think you can just simply engineer your way out of an ethical dilemma. how would i decide. like a machine. the machine can process all the available information at top speed. i m not that fast. what does it want. nothing at all. it is sufficient. is that what the inventor wants. who knows. these machines will make mistakes they will kill civilians there is no doubt about that all weapons systems end up killing civilians the real question from my point of view and this is what s called a consequentialist argument or utilitarian argument is well they kill less civilians than current technologies and war fighters do. from my point of view if we end up with fewer noncombatant casualties that s a good thing. to my surprise ron arkin sends me to the aquarium in atlanta he tells me that he sometimes goes there with his grandson. cohen. he s particularly fond of the beluga whales their lightness their beauty and their playfulness. we project many of our longings on to animals something inside us would love to be just as free as we magine they are. thanks to what use do we put these longings thanks what are we doing to ourselves. thanks why are so many machines named after animals drones hawks predators we take their forms and abilities and transform them into something else thank you. thank. you he has . the bully turn ourselves into something else in the end the bank. if as i firmly believe it is our imperfection that makes us human what happens if we try to eliminate this imperfection. we project a little bit further out here but you re going to see things like how you want to assassinate somebody you could send a swarm of insects size drones that have cameras on them for actual recognition software and used put all this stuff into the into the swarm and say go for it this guy and you know sting him with your cyanide tail or whatever it would be and then you don t even need boots on the ground. zero to game shows as jones like flying insects anticipating a possible use of the technology for military purposes. in the way you are like let s say test fear dollars for the military itself it must be fascinating for them to see so it s kind of. close to reality well it s incredible and you know i m sat at home one day and i see i see an e-mail pop up this is like a year or so after black ops two was being released and it s from a former pentagon official who works for a think tank now the atlantic council and you know he said he wanted to talk to me about he said he d seen his son playing call of duty black ops two and he was amazed at how intricate and realistic the future storyline was for twenty twenty five and he wanted to talk to me to see how we would come up with that so he actually invited me to washington d.c. to be to go there and speak to him and some you know other people from the military the pentagon. how i came up with this this relationship what we might call military men is also now starting to go in the other direction where once it was the entertainment world that was pulling from war for its ideas we re also seeing the military world pull from the entertainment world for its ideas and it might be anything from the actual technologies that they physically use so the control mechanisms for certain robotic systems are basically video game controllers why did they do that really two reasons the video game companies already spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing the one that perfectly holds in your hand and the video game company trained trained an entire generation of eighteen year olds on how to use it it s intuitive to them now the right the only. one you know that s a good or it was triggering. the internet or the new the better to you and better the really the better the new. the and as you see these technologies make more and more decisions on their own the human role moves from being in the loop to as one u.s. military document put it on the loop and then out of the loop. when will this take place. don t ask me ask the head of the british royal air force who said it will happen in his lifetime and he s not a young guy. how far his eye deficient intelligence been developed. in an article in the national defense magazine i read that darpa the defense advanced research planning association partly financed by the pentagon as having robots built with real brains . james james if steve from the university of california is one of the scientists participating in this project. the idea is to build. something that s like a human brain and not like a regular computer so we take another approach is to build a completely different system that will not in the end need tape or programming that s needed in the conventional computer. an artificial brain. is a new paradigm in that sense which is a positive paradigm in my opinion but it s like anything that has a big influence you can be used for chemical you know really you know purposes it would depend who owns it so would you trust your government to own as such a system that was about you know able to understand everything about you know. making lee the n.s.a. makes it may look like a joke right it would be able to process all sorts of information telephone calls everything but make decisions all i don t think you would want the government to have and then would you want big corporations to have it like google for instance they work on artificial intelligence. would you want them to own it no you would but what it could truly achieve in the end. could be. way way beyond anything we ever could imagine maybe it would enable oz s through an implant to be you know have a super human intelligence for instance could. can machines have a memory and make independent decisions in the end how far will their autonomy go. we are in the german provinces here we come full circle who were the thought that here of all places we would find one where artificial intelligence is not just a future vision but is actually being developed. yvonne hofstetter is co-founder of the company terremark technologies in addition she has written a book about big data the title say this not unless they know everything. you tell mocked ignored just like linus on it and you know mark technologies is a small enterprise that only employs scientists mathematicians physicists information theoreticians and they only work on artificial intelligence we have a whole park full of artificial intelligence learning machine is distributed artificial intelligence to swarm intelligence to. have against this it s like dressing park this being a bit scary to peek inside so it inspires something called the frankenstein syndrome lines and. last last if i said this is free and it works like i imagine it will can i keep it under control i m twenty. on the hardest question there must be for imagine stock markets today imagine giant data centers with rex of computers and those computers are just blinking away every blink is a buy or sell in a matter of milliseconds and nanoseconds. this problem is this the problem is that incidents happen so quickly so-called flash crashes and a flash crash. the news sometimes reports that stocks of plummeted for no reason. that can happen so fast in this parallel machine world that the human eye can no longer keep up and enough people end up as helpless bystanders and i m johnny smith . military knowledge has entered civilian life and vice versa it was ever thus but the dividing lines between war and no war creasing lee disappearing. surveillance spying these are terms that we associate with the secret service just as much as with social media. but what happens when things get out of control as in the financial market. what happens when war machine suddenly experience flash crashes. and mistakes like this be prevented. how does artificial intelligence work anyway. yeah but i think doc on this machine working on making machines learn to analyze data. yes i do and so we can see here in this first three d. space how the learning machines discover structures in the flood of data. they learn to identify structures and. once you see you know right after a while the algorithm starts to recognize structures you can see it here and unfit it begins to build this white area with black down here since like one in five that s infrared data the question is what does it say what s the result. we can see on this third image when i play it. you see what it sees you can we can make out some flying objects my guess is they re fighter jets. and you have to program it in advance for it to recognize that pattern says yes flushed and as you can imagine with ai and this is where we re heading it will allow us to drop a machine into an environment and let it work out what needs to be done what it can see. and what it should do autonomously. then use the seamless sky that s pretty scary. to sit and talk safely sawdust we re currently at a crossroads why do we have to decide what the human machine future will be like house machines are developing beyond mere tools kind of the x. like i did today they re moving towards increasing autonomy that s awesome it s a synchronous these machines won t wait for input they ll take action on their own and one city deriving their data from the sensors that we ve built into our lives once the internet the internet of things or if i think about smart cities streets and sidewalks. then be a machine to bite us if we let machines become so autonomy us that they can eventually overwrite us to begin to steal become more intelligent than we are they might say the earth could be so peaceful the only obstacle is the human race you run for the let s get rid of it it s in our time he s here. view of. this week s highlights. i m missable the diesel or museum opens in paris. livable quality like it is you. know the. thing with get the body painting by me and i keep that look for. your romance thirty minutes w. . yeah i do my story and i think one day this war will be considered a cruel and unjust war but it will solution certainly all citizens with a grain every man woman and child is she not the only friend their homeland of the enemy invade just give it up for your bunch and no one wants russia here don t need to nuke which is the. rebel against the mighty global news that matters. d.w. made for mines. when history books are brought to life. maybe the stories therein will get a rewrite. the story of the russian revolution. from the perspective of writers thinkers and to covent garden just what did it feel like to live in times of the revolution the. one nine hundred seventy the real october starting october twenty fifth two dublin. this is deja vu news live from berlin in the midst of the catalan crisis a stark warning from the spanish government prime minister mariano rajoy says he will not without using constitutional powers to deny catalin his plans to split from spain meanwhile more protests.
evergreen, but let s go first to jonathan serrie in montgomery with the hatest on judge moore. jonathan, president trump weighed in on the race from pensacola last night. tell us what he said. yeah, james. president trump told the crowd this is really about his agenda and getting it enacted. he told the crowd that it s also about preserving the republican party s very narrow majority in the u.s. senate. let s give it a listen. we can t afford to have a liberal democrat who is completely controlled by nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. we can t do it. reporter: moore did not appear with the president at that rally, but his campaign had been urging moore s supporters to go and attend the rally, the campaign explaining that moore was busy campaigning with alabamians in his own state. james? james: and, jonathan, the moore campaign is also once again pushing back against one of his accusers. reporter: yeah. that is beverly nelson. she claims that moore sexually assaulted her back when she was 16 years old after she says that she accepted an offer to take her home from the old hickory house restaurant where she had worked as a waitress, says this happened when she was 16 years old. well, her attorney, gloria allred, hired a forensic handwriting expert who s now determined that a note written in nelson s high school yearbook was, indeed, written by roy moore. listen. and it demonstrates that when roy moore stated, quote: i do not know any of these women, end quote, that statement does not appear to be true. reporter: but the accuser, beverly nelson, also revealed that she added her own handwriting after moore s signature to remember the date and location he allegedly signed her yearbook. the moore campaign says the fact that she left out this detail until the last minute now casts doubt on her entire story. the truth is out there, and until she releases the yearbook, all we know is they re not telling the truth, and they ve lied. and under the alabama pattern jury instructions, it says it tells a jury if you believe that a witness has lied in anything, you can disregard everything they ve said. reporter: and the moore campaign is now calling on nelson and attorney allred to release the yearbook to a neutral third party so that an independent handwriting expert can examine it. james? james: all right. thank you, jonathan serrie. meanwhile, democratic candidate doug jones is mobilizing his supporters to turn out for tuesday s special senate election in alabama. as polling data show, those sexual misconduct allegations against jones opponent have not proved decisive as some analysts predicted. peter doocy is live in alabama with the latest from the doug jones camp. peter. reporter: james, we ve been driving around in the car through alabama all day long and just heard a radio ad from the doug jones campaign that really puts this entire race into perspective. in this commercial that jones says at the end that he approves of, he says that if he wins as a democrat from alabama, he would work with the republican senator richard shelby, but that is 180 degrees different than what roy moore has been saying whose assault on republican leadership is really what made him so popular during the primary. doug jones, the attorney from birmingham who trailed by 3.5 points in thing real clear politics average of polls, has some high-wattage stars of his party in the state to try and help make up the dumps, both of whom are considered 2020 contenders. deval patrick is in selma, alabama, and new jersey senator cory booker is going to be with him later in montgomery. booker, of course, works with senator chuck schumer who president trump has suggested would be a puppetmaster for doug jones if he was sent to washington d.c. but getting out the vote not the only thing the jones campaign is trying to do, they re also trying to correct the record around his position on abortion. they re not denying that he is running as a very pro-choice democrat in a very pro-life state, but they do suggest with the video on his twitter page that some of the conservative attacks against him have been off base. and the abortion attacks? not true. doug jones does not support late-term abortions and never has. reporter: the attacks against doug jones more being pro-choice have been the centerpiece of conservative p complaints against him, and they are seen by many analysts in alabama as the main thing that has people who may be skeptical about roy moore still skeptical about doug jones as well. james. james: peter doocy in alabama. peter, thank you. now jules has a guest. julie: new details in the russia investigation. according to the new york times, the fbi has warned hope hicks, the white house communications director, about repeated attempts by russian operatives to contact her during the transition. meantime, a key member of robert mueller s investigative team has revealed to have close ties to hillary clinton and the democrats. a development that is generating huge concerns from many republicans of a potential bias in mueller s office. let s bring in our panel, ned ryan is the founder of american majority and a former writer for president george w. bush, and scott bolden, former d.c. democratic party chairman. thank you, gentlemen, for talking to us. thank you. thanks, julie. julie: so this is further proof, ned, that brazen attempts by russian operatives to meddle in the presidential election. it also proves that ms. hicks did nothing improper. that s right. julie: what does this do to mueller s investigation? absolutely nothing. all it does is actually prove what we ve known for decades and decades, russia has tried to meddle in u.s. elections. and, quite frankly, the obama administration was warned almost two years before the 2016 elections that russia was going to increase its efforts to impact and influence democratic elections in the west. so, to me, this is nothing. russia, after decades and decades of trying to meddle in our elections and influence them, is still doing that. so i don t really think this does anything except for, again, it s more breathless, heavy breathing from the left of more proof there might have been collusion. no. just shows russia was methodding in our meddling in our elections. julie, the thing that is really becoming very apparent in this last week, this mueller investigation i don t think that anybody with any objectivity can say that his team is not a pack of highly partisan wolves who are on a political witch hunt trying to nullify the 2016 elections. you mentioned anthony wiseman, but jeannie rhea and also ben rhodes, obama s nsa director, now you have aaron seldly who put hillary clinton s private e-mail server together and destroyed some of her blackberries. i think in many ways any legitimacy that it might have had, this mueller investigation, is gone, and it didn t have much to begin with. julie: okay. the look on scott s face tends to disagree with that. [laughter] scott, go ahead. i don t think anybody s surprised i m going to disagree with that. as a former prosecutor, let me just say this: there is no litmus test for whether you can become a prosecutor or not because of your politics and the first amendment. if that gets in the way of doing a fair and independent investigation, then you ll be removed like one of those mueller investigators were. but the allegation that somehow these lawyers represented hillary clinton in a prior life or all of these types of issues, it s not a litmus test. and the doj rules say so. so i think it s a bunch of noise. but i will say this, ken starr was a republican and investigated bill clinton. nobody liked that. but until it gets in the way of a fair and independent investigation julie: right, but republicans criticizing the very republicans that praised mueller s selection six months ago. julie: scott, hold that thought. scott, i ve got to ask you. the entire investigation into the trump/russia collusion was in large part due to the fusion gps, mueller s team is largely partisan. do you not see any credibility issues here? at best you may have some appearance issues, but i julie: appearance? disagree that that report was the reason which drove the mueller investigation. no hold on one second. there were at least 50 contacts during and after the election of donald trump that drove this investigation. and drove the republicans in the house, senate as well as doj to say this needs to be investigated. the other thing that drove this investigation was the fact that russia was meddling in something that was sacred to our american democracy, and that s our elections. that ought to be investigated of course to. and republicans and democrat both ought to do that. julie: go go ahead, ned. there s a massive difference between russian meddling and the fairy tale of trump/russia collusion which, as julie pointed out, was in many ways based on this fake fusion gps dossier that s not all it was based upon though. [inaudible] and the dnc. and i think the thing that s even more troubling, julie, now we re starting to suspect that peter strzok, the highly partisan fbi member of mueller s team, might have used that as justification for fisa warrants to spy on team trump. yeah, but wait, wait, scott. okay. the only silver lining, julie, of this mueller investigation is i think it shows where the real investigation should be, into the highly corrupt and highly politicized doj, fbi and even our intelligence community. the problem with those allegations and that presentation is that it s all based on conjecture, if you will. no, it s not. the republicans and the trump campaign had over 50 contacts with russia, and, yes, russia was digging deep into the trump campaign, and donald trump, quite frankly, they were digging back. julie: all right. because collusion is an act, if you will. it s not a crime, it s not a result. and we know there s evidence that there were conversations going back and forth about getting clinton material to help donald trump win. why are you all [inaudible conversations] julie: hold on a second. the reason for the investigation was to prove collusion, to prove that president trump or then-candidate trump actually colluded with the russians it was to investigate it. they haven t decided that yet. julie: i understand, but this is no, there is no, there is no ed at this point that the president was directly involved. okay. and let the investigation continue. julie: of course we know the russians wanted to meddle in our election, they had some leeway here [inaudible conversations] isn t that worth investigating? julie: yes, absolutely. why are republicans so afraid of this investigation? [inaudible conversations] there s two different things. democrats respect. julie: i ve got to say one other thing. scott, you mentioned how there s an appearance. text messages that are cleary aimed at anti-trump, pro-hillary coming from a member of the fbi, he was removed but he still works for the fbi. he s no longer involved with the special come, but he no longer shouldn t the fbi be bipartisansome you don t believe when there s investigations being done by political officials, who s watching watchdogs? it ought to be independent. julie: that s the problem. [inaudible conversations] the fbi and doj should be independent. politics shouldn t even be involved in it, i agree with you there. that s the problem, scott. julie: james comey, example number one. eric holder, loretta lynch. [laughter] [inaudible conversations] julie: hey, my producers wrapped me 12 minutes ago or something like that. oh, let us go. we ve got a lot more to say. [laughter] julie: thank you. james: california wildfires taking a deadly turn after a 70-year-old woman is killed while trying to evacuate the thomas fire, the largest of the six wildfires disturb burning through vast verbs of the golden state. california governor jerry brown speaking moments ago. we re facing a new reality in the state where fires threaten people s lives, their property, their neighborhoods. and, of course, billions and billions of dollars. so we have to have the resources to combat the fires. james: our dan springer is live in ventura, california, where some people are starting to return home to rebuild shattered lives. good afternoon, dan. reporter: we just got some new, updated numbers, and they are sad and staggering. between the six fires, 175,000 acres have burned, that s well over 250 square miles and more than 1,000 structures have been destroyed including what were these homes behind me up on this ridge in ventura. by far the hardest-hit area. many of the 90,000 people forced to evacuate are from here, and most are now finally able to return home to see how bad it is. but the good news today is the fierce santa ana winds are taking a bit of a break. winds are much lighter today and yesterday giving crews a chance to get some containment. in fact, a couple of the fires are well under control. california governor jerry brown, as you said, surveyed some of the damage and met with some of the 8700 people fighting these fires. he praised their efforts and then he got political, talking about climate change and tax cuts. this is tens and tens of billions of dollars. i hope the folks in washington realize that as they re spending money or helping others spend it by giving them various tax breaks, we need to invest in our fire-fighting capacity, we need to invest in our whole infrastructure as well as our energy. reporter: we ve heard some harrowing stories from people who did everything they could to save their homes including 73-year-old larry markworth. he sprayed water on his home and his fence as everything around him burned. take a listen. i kept thinking i m too old to tart over again. [laughter] this is my dream house. we looked for this house for 30 years. ocean view, waterfront, all up and down the coast of california. so this was my house. we ve been here 15 years, and i said i m going to go back. that s the warrior mode. i m a vietnam veteran, and once you and i was in the navy, and we learned a lot about fire fighting. reporter: and larry knows he is very lucky to be alive and lucky to still have his house standing. we are still under red flag warnings, they will expire at around 8:00 tomorrow night. the winds are picking up a little bit right now. we re expecting heavier winds, stronger winds tonight, later tonight and early tomorrow morning with gusts up to 50 miles per hour, so hopefully that s this fire s last gasp. james? james: dan springer on location in ventura, california. dan, thank you. julie: a major milestone in the war against the islamic state. the iraqi government claiming it has complete control over its border with syria. so i how could this victory change u.s. strategy in the region? when it comes to strong bones, are you on the right path? we have postmenopausal osteoporosis. ..and a high risk for fracture, so with our doctors. .we chose prolia®. .to help make our bones stronger. only prolia® helps strengthen bones. .by stopping cells that damage them. .with 1 shot every 6 months. do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant, are allergic to it, or take xgeva®. serious allergic reactions, like low blood pressure; trouble breathing; throat tightness; face, lip or tongue swelling. .rash, itching or hives have happened. tell your doctor about dental problems, as severe jaw bone. .problems may happen or new or unusual pain in your hip groin, or thigh, as unusual thigh bone fractures have occurred. peak to your doctor before stopping prolia®, as spine and other bone fractures have occurred. prolia® can cause serious side effects, like low blood calcium; serious infections, which could need hospitalization; .skin problems; and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain. if your bones aren t getting stronger. .isn t it time for a new direction? why wait? ask your doctor about prolia®. worsome can hurt.l. others bring sheer joy. and some, you just make up along the way. in the end. words bring us together. and just one can change your life. download the new words with friends 2 from the app store or google play. james: the government in iraq has today declared victory over isis in that country. iraqi prime minister al-abadi said iraqi forces now fully control the iraqi/syrian border. [speaking in native tongue] translator: we have achieved great victories today. speak speaking tongue. translator: i would like today to announce the good news to all iraqis. during the last hours, our forces have completed the liberation of anbar and are in full control of the border. [applause] james: so does that mean that the threat from the terrorist group which once ruled over eight million people is gone? here with answers on that and other global issues is fox news foreign policy analyst clarence skinner, a professor of international relations at carnegie mellon university and longtime friend. kiron, welcome. what threat, if any, do you see isis posing going forward or perhaps beyond iraq and syria? that s a big question because although isis has been defeated largely in iraq, there are remnants that still exist. they ve just moved into various communities, and they re hiding out. they aren t gone. they will probably re-emerge with kind of guerrilla insurgent tactics in that country. we know that they are working alongside the taliban in afghanistan, and we also know that they have inspired radicalism throughout the african continent in both west africa and north africa in particular. so they re not gone. but what s important about iraq is that the untold story of 2017 is that general mattis, with support of president trump, has put forth a new military strategy for dealing with the global war on terror. a term, james, that you know we could not use officially during the obama administration. that strategy has entailed not abandoning rules of engagement in the global war on terror, but, in fact, enhancing them by making them more precise, increasing the personnel and commitment to the coalition civilian assessment teams to watch over unintended death and injury. we ve actually had a major shift in u.s. strategy by, one, declaring the war and by having a different military approach. james: and, of course, we still have a significant number of u.s. troops in afghanistan. professor skinner, i want to turn your attention to europe and specifically relations with russia. our viewers might imagine the greatest irritant in those relations is that conclusion by our u.s. intelligence agencies that russia meddled in the 2016 election which, of course, remains the subject of much investigation in washington. but secretary of state rex tillerson, speaking in vienna this week, cited another issue entirely. in syria we can have differences in other areas, but when one country invades another, that is a difference that is hard to look past. or to reconcile. and we ve made this clear to russia from the very beginning, that we must address ukraine. it stands as the single most difficult obstacle to us renormalizing a relationship with russia which we badly would like to do. james: kiron skinner, do you see any scenario in which russia withdraws its proxy forces from eastern ukraine, or should president trump and secretary tillerson accept as a practical heart that russia matter that russia is in those places to stay? i don t know if anyone has the answer to that hard question, but i do agree with the secretary of state. ukraine is a major source of tension in not just u.s./russia relations, but u.s russia relations with the west more broadly. because it continues to arm and meddle against with those forces against the ukrainian government. and this is not behavior that is consistent with what other great powers are doing, and it destabilizes much of europe. but there are other areas that the secretary did not mention that i think are important. as major sources of tech between the west and russia of tension between the west and russia. for example, the imf treaty. jails james all right. we re almost out of time, i regret to say, but very quickly, what grade at the close of his first year in office would you give president trump on foreign policy? well, i probably would give him an a-. and i say that because i think he s been a surprise on the foreign policy scene in the world, but i would like in order for him to get an a++, i d like to hear him articulate over and over again with a strong echo chamber the america first policy as it relates to the rest of the world. james: all right. kyron skipper, thanks for making time for us on a snowy saturday. thank you. julie: president trump heading back to florida after visiting the new civil rights museum in mississippi, so what is next on his agenda? we ve got that coming up. plus, protesters taking to the streets again after president trump s decision to recognize jerusalem as israel s capital. we are live in the holy city with very late reaction to this historic move. it s ok to crave. and with panera catering, there s more to go around. panera. food as it should be. everyone deserves attention, whether you ve saved a lot or just a little. at pnc investments, we believe you re more than just a number. so we provide personal financial advice for every retirement investor. julie: president trump landing in florida after a short plane ride from mississippi. he was in jackson earlier in the day making a speech during the opening of the mississippi civil rights museum. there he gave a powerful speech. phil keating is live in west palm beach, florida, with more. phil, this is a pretty busy weekend for the president. reporter: absolutely, julie. much of the time not even being spent at the winter white house on palm beach. however, air force one is now back at the west palm beach airport, and president trump is now back at his mar-a-lago estate on palm beach having landed in the 2:00 hour from mississippi. and greeting him on tarmac in jackson, mississippi, at the airport were governor phil bryant who invited trump for today s opening ceremony of the mississippi civil rights museum, also there senator roger wicker and charles evers, civil rights activist and brother of medgar evers who fought and died at the hands of klansmen during the struggle. the president took an abbreviated tour of the brand new $100 million museum which takes visitors through mississippi s tumultuous history including slavery as well as the segregated and jim crow 50s and 60s touched on in the president s speech. this is an incredible tribute not only to the state of mississippi finish a state that i love, a state where i ve had great success this is a tribute the our nation at the highest level. reporter: last night in pensacola trump held a packed make america great again rally, very reminiscent of last year s campaign trail. and being just 20 miles east of alabama, he again urged alabamians to vote for accused sex offender roy moore in tuesday s potential senate election. this country, future of this country cannot afford to lose a seat in the very, very close united states senate. we can t afford it, folks. we can t. [cheers and applause] we can t afford to have a liberal democrat who is completely controlled by that many city pelosi and chuck schumer. we can t do it. his name is jones, and he s their total puppet. reporter: that being doug jones, the democrat in the race. notably, several civil rights activists boycotted today s trump speech and the opening ceremony event in jackson, mississippi, specifically because president trump was there. they accused the president of actually making race relations worse. also tonight and tomorrow at mar-a-lago could be relatively quiet, there are no further events on this weekend trip planned, at least not yet that we know of. the president did tweet that he was intending to watch today s army/navy football game and when asked aboard air force one whom he was going to be rooting for the president relied, both. replied, both. [laughter] julie? julie: i like your jacket. i ve never seen you sport leather. it s pretty cold in florida. [laughter] reporter: it is very cold. julie: you should come to new york. [laughter] reporter: this is the coldest it s been in south florida since january, and i can guarantee you you could just walk arounding and find many people with scarves, hats and maybe even some mittens. julie: come to new york reporter: 60s! julie: it has been snowing all day long, i can t imagine what you d be wearing if you were here. hope to see you james: for more on all of this, let s bring in a white house correspondent at the washington examiner. the last 4 hours really have brought us 24 hours really have brought us a tale of two trumps. you saw the perpetual campaigner with 10,000 cheering supporters in pensacola last night, condemning fake news, enforcing roy moore, and this morning in jackson remarks at the mississippi civil rights museum. what does this all tell us about donald trump as a political performer? well, he knows the audience that he s playing for, and we saw that both last night and today. last night was vintage trump, he offered a full-throated endorsement of roy moore, he went off cuff, didn t stick to his teleprompter remarks and it felt like the rallies we saw in the 2016 presidential election. and you compare that to earlier today when he offered very sincere, very respectful remarks at the opening of the civil rights museum knowing that he s already created some controversy just by being there at the opening of this museum, knowing that if he drifted from his prepared remarks, that it might create even more controversy. so i think that he was stressed about that and wanted to deliver and make sure that it was a smooth ceremony earlier today. james: i can speak with firsthand knowledge that sometimes the teleprompter is, indeed, your safe harbor. [laughter] the president is losing a key member of his white house team with yesterday s announcement that the deputy national security adviser is moving with her family to to new york. the white house marred by extraordinary staff turnover from mike flynn to reince priebus and, of course, anthony scaramucci. this one s entirely different, right? yes, she s emerging unscathed. she has not been involved in any of the ongoing controversy, ongoing war between west wing aides. she has been untouched by the mueller special counsel investigation so far. we re not quite sure whether she s been interviewed by federal investigators, although we have no reason to believe that she has. i think what we ve been hearing from the white house for a long time, from sources close to dean that dean that powell has been mentioned as a possible successor to nikki haley. lastly, bruce oher was demoted on wednesday amid revelations that he met secretly last year year [audio difficulty] gabby, what would you say is the chief concern in the trump white house right now about where the mueller investigation may be headed? well, they think that it s very difficult for mueller s team to be impartial at this point because there are so many individuals working on this investigation who have clearly shown signs of bias whether it s been in favor of hillary clinton, the primary democratic opponent and last year s presidential election, or just sheer anti-trump bias. so this is another case, you know, there s a lot of questions surrounding why this doj official a senior member of the agency was meeting with the author of this dossier, why a congressional or congressional investigators who have been bringing this dossier up in multiple testimonies and hearings weren t warned of his demotion or made aware of it and, ultimately, what impact this might have on the federal investigation into ties between the trump administration and russian officials. james: all right. gabby, thank you. thanks, james. julie: middle east tensions spiking after president trump s historic announcement about jerusalem. we have a live report from that holy city just ahead. at planters we know how to throw a remarkable holiday party. just serve classy snacks and be a gracious host, no matter who shows up. do you like nuts? you may be at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia, that can take you out of the game for weeks, even if you re healthy. pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious bacterial lung disease that in severe cases can lead to hospitalization. it may hit quickly, without warning, causing you to miss out on the things you enjoy most. prevnar 13® is not a treatment for pneumococcal pneumonia. it s a vaccine you can get to help protect against it. prevnar 13® is approved for adults to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain, redness and swelling at limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, less appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash. help protect yourself against pneumococcal pneumonia. ask your doctor or pharmacist about prevnar 13®. for every hour that you re idling in your car, you re sending about half a gallon of gasoline up in the air. that amounts, over the course of the week, to about 10 pounds of carbon dioxide. growth is good, but when it starts impacting our quality of air and quality of life, that s a problem. so forward-thinking cities like sacramento are investing in streets that are smarter and greener. the solution was right under our feet. asphalt. or to be more precise, intelligent asphalt. by embedding sensors into the pavement, as well as installing cameras on traffic lights, we will be able to analyze the flow of traffic. that data runs across our network and we use it to optimize the timing of lights, so that traffic flows easier and travel times are shorter. who knew asphalt could help save the environment? that one daddy! it s beautiful. i m the world s greatest douglas fir. i m the perfect shape. i m the perfect color. my scent- like making love to a lumberjack. but halfway home, my twine gets loose. and your cut-rate insurance might not pay for this. so get allstate. where you can save money and be better protected from mayhem like me. mayhem is everywhere. so get an allstate agent. are you in good hands? james: palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas says he won t be meeting with vice president pence when he visits israel later this month, that as the protests continue over president trump s announcement about relocating the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. our david lee miller is live from jerusalem with the very latest. david lee. reporter: james, the israeli military is saying that those airstrikes in gaza targeted hamas weapons-making facilities, a weapons warehouse as well as a military compound. meanwhile, throughout the day there were anti-u.s., anti-israeli demonstrations that took place in gaza and across the west bank. in bethlehem and other cities, palestinians threw stones, there were also clashes along the border with gaza. ten palestinians were wounded, israeli officials say the military is trying to exercise restraint. a spokesman for hamas responded by saying, and i quote: the fuse of the ant fad da has been lit and will continue until objectives are met. and in jerusalem outside the old city itself, about half a dopsen people were arrested for holding what authorities here called an illegal protest. it does appear the demonstrations were less intense than during the last three days, but about 140 palestinians were wounded. the harsh rhetoric from world leaders condemning president trump s jerusalem declaration continues. the palestinian foreign minister says the u.s. position on jerusalem disqualifies washington from mediating any future peace talks. as you might recall, the president s son-in-law, jared kushner, had been trying to kick start those negotiations. now the palestinians say they are going to seek a new mediator, this one from among their arab brothers for the international commitment. james? james: david lee miller, as it nears midnight in jerusalem, thank you. julie: we go now to republican congressman martha mcsally of arizona for more on this. she sits on both the armed services and homeland security committees. congresswoman, thank you very much for talking to us. absolutely. julie: what do you believe of the president s decision? was it the right one? it was absolutely the right thing to do. look, jerusalem has been the capital of israel and for the jewish people since about 3,000 years ago, and 23 years ago a haw was passed voted on by chuck schumer, nancy pelosi and others to make and identify really to recognize jerusalem as a their eternal and undivided capital. and for 22 years america has not been good on its promise. so the president did the right thing in his leadership to say we stand by this promise and recognizing what the capital actually is and moving our embassy there. we are the leader of the free world, and this was a bold move that was the right thing to do, and i really applaud it. julie: what is your reaction to the u.n. council denouncing president trump s decision on jerusalem? well, the u.n. has a history of tremendous hostility towards israel, so they don t have much credibility, unfortunately, on this topic. again, we need to show that leadership to say we re going to stand by our strong democratic ally in the region, and we re going to stand against the terrorists who are going to try to destroy them. and, by the way, that includes really the palestinian authority has no credibility here. they re continuing to send hundreds of millions of dollars to terrorists and terrorist families to incite violence and to support terrorism against the israeli people. and i stood on the border of the gaza strip. hamas, the terrorist organization that has an infusion of cash from their supporter iran thanks to the obama administration, is just looking for opportunities to try and attack israel. these are no reasons for us to sop doing the right thing, and we need to march forward to move the embassy the jerusalem. again, it s very much the right decision. julie: okay. meantime, nikki haley has continued to defend the president. here she is speaking at the u.n. yesterday. let s listen to that. the united states has not taken a position on boundaries or borders. the specific dimensions of sovereignty over jerusalem are still to be decided by the israelis and the palestinians in negotiations. the united states has not advocated changing any of the arrangements at the temple mount. the president specifically called for maintaining the status quo at the holy site. julie: okay, so there s been so much backlash due to this. a lot of the media was reporting and focusing so much on how, you know, the president is trying to erase 70 years of history, and it was really neglected to be reported and, quite frankly, irresponsible not to bring up the fact that congress actually voted on this in 1995. this is not anything new. it was voted on. no. julie: the president himself had made the promise he would do so. he wanted to see if there would be some peace and resolve in the palestinian/israeli peace process, and will hasn t been, so he is basically just upholding a decision made by congress many years ago. right. right, he s upholding the law that, again, many democrats voted for. he s fulfilling a campaign promise, and he s recognizing reality, that this is the capital of israel. the parliament is there, the supreme court is there, the prime minister they re all in jerusalem. look, people talking about upending diplomacy, diplomacy s not working, and something needs to change. and he is a disrupter, and in this case the failed and stalled talks are not working. so maybe showing some bold leadership and saying we re standing by our ally can actually provide the opportunity for these talks to resume and be sorted out. again, some of these issues need to be sorted out, but they need to come to the table, and the palestinian authority needs to stop inciting and paying for violence. they should really be focusing more on that instead of this issue. julie: congresswoman mcsally, thank you very much. absolutely. james: wilefires in california raging with noened in sight burning no end in sight, forcing thousands from their homings. meantime, a winter storm is slamming the northeast with snow blanketing the region. we re live in the fox extreme weather center with an update on both stories straight ahead. taken tylenol, he d be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. we are the driven. the dedicated. the overachievers. we know our best investment is in ourselves. we don t take no for an answer. we fight for what we want. even for the things that were once a given. going to college. buying a home. and not being in debt for it for the rest of our lives. but we re only as strong as our community. who inspires and pushes us to go further than we could ever go alone. sofi. get there sooner. james: wildfires in southern california continuing the rage out of control and burn virtually everything in their path. powerful santa ana winds fueling those flames. meteorologist adam klotz is here with us, he s been tracking the weather on the west coast. reporter: it s the wind that you re talking about that continues to strive this, and it s going to drive this. everything you re seeing here, these are forecasted wind speeds getting up to 350 miles 50 miles an hour. running all the way into sunday, strong winds kicking up all the way until we get into monday. so this is going to be an issue that continues to last. op top of that, what else do you need? bone-dry air, and there is going to be plenty of that. these dark brown areas are humidly down below 10% which is the kind of stuff that gives you static electricity when you touch doors. that s going to be absolutely everywhere. so with that dry air and that wind, no surprise that we continue to see an elevated fire risk really all across portions of southern california from san diego running up to ventura county where we ve seen some of the biggest fires so far. unfortunately, the conditions just aren t looking too much better here as we continue through the weekend, james. james: that is scary stuff. an uncommon sight in the deep south as a rare snowstorm has turned parts of texas, alabama and georgia into a veritable winter wonderland. the storm has moved to the northeast, adam. how much snow are we going to see? reporter: well, we ve been getting it throughout the entire day, some of that snowfall, at this hour we continue to see advisories, watches warnings stretching from maine still down into the carolinas. a lot of cases several inches of snow have fallen. you can still see this mass right along the coast, big corridor from d.c. stretching up to new york and boston all getting snow as we speak. your future radar shows throughout the evening hours taking you now close to midnight, you ve cleared off in new york, philadelphia, d.c. still some snow lingering in boston, toward the port lan area. how much portland area. how much are we going to see? i wouldn t with be surprised a lot of these areas seeing 3-6 areas. i think it s enough to make a couple of snow angels. james: adam klotz, thank you. julie: we are seeing snow right out our studios as well, but that is not stopping people from braving the cold to shop. this video is from bryant park which is just a few blocks away from our building. bryan llenas is live at bryant park. you know, it s funny adam just mentioned snow angels. does that ring a bell a few years ago, i made you drop and give me snow angels in central park?

from this day forward it s going to be only america first so we decided we re going to walk away from paris of course going to work with a walkway from the transfer to the pacific partnership we re going to walk away from the iran deal where are the major powers it should be held she writes the united states is largely disappeared rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself there is a lot of cringing here and elsewhere over the president s tweets against north korea trump is just not a credible threat from it if you will so there s really a sense not it s not a matter of is america first or not is america alone or not is america working with others. also coming up tonight our hidden cameras inside a turkish court journalists on trial enemies of the people. in turkey there is no system of law that protects the rights of individuals entire groups in society have been declared enemies and their rights are just taken away. and we begin the day with america and the world and a year of us president donald trump polls in the us revealed that after a year of the trump presidency the nation remains as politically polarized as ever trump s approval numbers remain at a record low and more than a third of those polled give the president a failing grade for his first year yet republican voters say they are happier today with mr trump s performance then they were last spring outside the united states there is no polarization when people discuss president drums first year in office today a gallup poll of one hundred thirty four countries revealed an unprecedentedly dismal picture of confidence in u.s. leadership for the first time ever the global approval rating of u.s. leadership has fallen to thirty percent germany has replaced the u.s. as the top rated global power china at thirty one percent is now in second place you see there the united states comes in at third slightly higher than russia which is the fourth rated global plough powered the ranking itself shows a major rethink in just the past year now what is just as remarkable the change for each of the four countries since trump took office for germany china and russia there have really been no changes it s the u.s. where global perception has shifted with the rating dropping as you see eighteen points year on year. in a moment i ll ask the author of what s the matter with kansas to help explain what s the matter with the world but first the people in promises that converged on election day in twenty sixteen to make dumbell trump a president our washington bureau chief alexandra phenomena takes us to ohio a swing state that swung for trump what do they think now one year into the trump president s. valley in ohio a longtime democratic stronghold that was once a hobby of the american steel industry but these times are long gone president does not trump one ohio in twenty sixteen by promising to bring jobs back to the region . twice when bush believes in trump she host at talk show on local radio and after she gets off the air she relaxes and the cigar vonage. he is earn respect because of what he wants to do and how he wants to get it done so he s not republican he s not democrat he s just an american who use the system for his advantage to the presidency and you have to respect that. i mean but we have to admit that he lies writes he doesn t tell the truth you have to admit he has he has his own thought process. but the question is. do we all lie also. tracy takes me along to a party fundraiser in youngstown. during. three five zero delayed his polls show that the president s trumps approval rating is at their records low whether people here support him despite the fact that he hasn t made much progress on his legislative agenda. finally for the first time the liberal walk times there s somebody in washington who is determined to change washington and that s why people are excited they want to they want someone to their washington who can grab that place and shake it because it s become so loaded and so out of control it s been a slow process they re fighting every step of the way but i believe in eventually people are going to realize how important this is like christian mckernan is a businessman in youngstown his grandfather started his heating and cooling company in one nine hundred thirty seven here sure christian says he trusts trump because he s all thoughts and entrepreneur. i don t have to agree with certain things that a sitting president may feel i don t have to but i really should just look back and respect the position that s there. and allow him to try to do his job. this is the show online treat good friends. well good afternoon welcome to three thousand friends here on the economic grounds for tax cuts for health care that s what counts for tracey winbush she says she doesn t like f. with thing trump tweets or south but she ll support him as long as he is here to break the system. oh. well my first guest tonight says it trumps rise as part of a forty year race to the bottom towards greater inequality in the u.s. is two thousand and four book what s the matter with kansas is considered one of the authoritative guides on red and blue america explaining why voters act against their own economic interests at the ballot box he s also the author of other books including the conquest of cool a great read which i highly recommend i m happy to welcome to the day thomas frank he s joining us tonight from washington thomas good to have you on the show i d like to start with a small excerpt from your book which gets really to the core of your message in what s the matter with kansas and you write in your book not long ago kansas would have responded to the current situation by making the bastards pay this would have been a political certainty as predictable as what happens when you touch a match to a puddle of gasoline we re not these days out here the gravity of discontent tolls in only one direction to the right to the right further to the right asked them about the remedies that their ancestors propose such as unions antitrust public ownership well you might as well be referring to the days when knighthood was in flower a year into donald trump s presidency is your description of kansas and the us does it still hold true has anything changed. oh man it s well everything s gotten worse everything s gotten much worse so i wrote that in two thousand and four that was before the. you know the economic collapse remember the great recession you know the housing bubble and all that stuff that all the wall street shenanigans have brought the entire economy of the world down you go to those towns that i was writing about back then you go and visit those small towns and it s not just kansas it s anywhere in the midwest i don t know missouri iowa a lot of places in illinois you were just in ohio and you ll see the exact same thing which is that for a lot of americans the middle class dream is crumbling it is in ruins the sort of the society that they grew up in is gone you know the main streets of these towns are. in a state of ruination you know there s no good jobs anymore no new new good jobs being created anymore you know it s. and people can see that this is happening and they are fear eous you know and they re the discontent runs very deep and what you see happening again and again and again in this country is the party of the right the the republicans speaking to those grievances speaking to always in a kind of a roundabout way bits but acknowledging that those grievances are legitimate and the democrats not doing that you know and donald trump took this so much farther than any of his predecessors and that s that s how the guy won i mean that s really what happened and now the question is of course is he going to do anything about the sort of collapse of middle america if you ask me the answer is no you said you know he made some very big promises when he was running for office if you what do you see happening in the november midterms he s not going to be able to deliver on the promises of restoring the rust belt to which he did i mean do you think this is going to be the moment in november we re going to see the democrats will they be able to act to reclaim political territory. well look the democrats in this country are this is a party the democratic present my my latest book by the way is called listen liberal and it s about the democrats and this is a party that is really uncomfortable with with with the idea of discontent really really really and come from the you look at the hillary clinton campaign where this sort of unofficial slogan was america is already great do you remember this i mean these are people she could not she had real trouble party with their wall street friends on martha s vineyard and this kind of thing now on the other hand donald trump is spectacularly on popular right now and so the democrats may very well score a big victory this year in november but the thing is you know victories come in victories go in less the democratic party changes in a way so that it is able to speak to the aggrieved you know middle americans which i still can t believe that they can t do that but they can t do it until the day they start doing it this is just going to go on and on and on this is just going to continue the democratic party needs to change when they do if they do yes they will be able to completely reconfigure politics in this country but it hasn t happened yet let me ask you about today s gallup poll or global confidence in u.s. leadership i mean never before have so many countries looked at the u.s. with such little confidence i mean this is troubling of course after only one year of a presidency but what will it mean to americans who are increasingly living in these polarized silos of political opinions. well i mean to tell you the truth most americans don t vote on it and don t even really pay attention to foreign policy news unless it s war and less war and less we re in a war it s just the nature of the country and it s a big country and what people are most concerned about is what s happening to them and their family and their town that s what drives most conversation now i want to point out to the economy in america is actually doing quite well right now as donald trump boasts about it all the time it s not really his doing you know this is barack obama s legacy to janet yellen you know federal reserve chairman says their legacy but trump wants to take credit for it and trump will take credit for it and there s a good chance that things are going to get considerably better in this country and that s what americans will be paying attention to not like public opinion polls in europe or something like that it was speaking of europe does kansas apply to your i mean where is your would you say most of your kansas. this listen what i described in kansas fifteen years ago now is happening all over the western world this is happening all over the place is happening in france this is happening in australia that s happening in the netherlands it s happening in england ok maybe not germany germany is a prosperous country with a very strong welfare state it s not happening in scandinavia right same thing there prosperous countries with a very well established welfare state but this is happening everywhere you go the you know the neoliberal economics is leaving people behind do you think that the strongest kryptonite against a kim s is that you write about is the social welfare state of europe. oh i would say an american version of that yes i mean you got a member the most prosperous the days that people who are as old as me and older we remember a time when this country was very prosperous in the middle class was a healthy thing in those towns out in kansas and missouri and wherever those towns are doing really well and that was a time when. a very left wing version of the democratic party was in charge franklin roosevelt harry truman lyndon johnson people remember that there s a reason that they look at a guy like bernie sanders and he s extremely popular now i think that yeah that kind of politics i think it s time has come back i think it is time to start dusting off some of the solutions thomas frank all thirty of what s the matter with kansas helping us tonight apply that kansas knowledge to europe told us we appreciate you taking the time to be on the day we appreciate your insights. well after weeks of hype about a possible fake news a word of it u.s. president on the trump has pointed to ten top examples of news stories in twenty seventeen that he says were intentionally wrong trump unveiled the award with as you might imagine a tweet it provided a link to a republican party website which listed ten cases in which major american news sources reported stories that were later retracted or which the list says were incorrect now despite trump s initial statements via twitter it was not immediately clear who had drawn up the list. social media reaction to these fake news awards highlighting the deep polarization in the u.s. the truck base applauding the awards here is mike the low i m just so proud to have a president that not only stands up for the american people but stands up for the liberal media trump is changing the scope of politics and his refusal to be politically correct is a dream come true donald trump s opponents however they see it as another attack on press freedom of the right or why you hide ali says we laugh about the fake news awards but it is in fact quite terrifying in chilling this is what happens in dictatorships and fascist regimes facts language truth and ultimately the press become hijacked to serve power not question it or hold it accountable of the awards generated enough attention to bring down parts of the republican party website just after trump tweeted about the awards imagine there i m joined now by james james he s president of the american institute for contemporary german studies in washington jack we re not going to talk about fake news with you jack knows politics in germany and the united states as well as anyone and he also knows the players and he knows how they get a warrant it s good to have you back on the show when i ask you about this gallup poll that came out today showing germany is now the top rated global power the u.s. plummeting to third place now behind china where you make of that it s effectively a response to style if not substance people like trump style they basically then make that equal to the united states. a mistake i mean america is not trump and trump is not america but i think he s also challenging people s expectations and to some extent their sense of what america should be in their eyes and in a way it s like a whiplash because they had eight years of obama who they really fell in love with and now they ve got this guy and they don t like him mary much at all you mentioned obama since he left office germany in translator miracle they have been called leaders of the liberal western democratic world i mean the standing of germany has just gone up in open up. is it justified i don t think it means as much as simply a way of stating people s tastes in style again germany is not going to replace the united states it s not going to work in terms of being any kind of power that would replace what america s role is today but i think it s a replication of the fact that people are paying as much attention to the what way people say things as opposed to what they say and you know i think that that s the case in germany itself and to some extent it s the case in other countries as well so we have a problem of understanding why this style conflicts so much with people s expectations but we re going to have to come to grips with it because the president of the united states and going anywhere soon. let me bring you to german politics for a moment it has never taken this long to hammer out a new government here in germany i mean you and i we spoke in september during the election here it is now in january we still don t have a new government is that a bad omen of things to come does it mean anything but i think it s basically a limbo type situation i mean europe is in the middle of a lot of problems bragg s it is absolutely the poster child but there s a lot of others and difficult forces pulling at the fabric of europe and you know germany was always seen as the kind of picture of stability and given the fact that this is not just in germany where this instability is is being seen it s unfair and it s settling for many people who want to know what s the next step for europe how s it going to be able to deal with some of the challenges coming this way and this this rock of stability seems to be a little bit unstable to move the rock and stability is called uncle americal right for many people right are we in the final time of the merkel era in germany i think there s a phase now becoming visible that this last term four years or maybe less maybe less will be and the reason that a record will be better than maybe what some people think it is now but at the same time there s a change in the air and you can t deny you want to venture a guess on what a post miracle germany will look like not much different from what it is now i mean i think that the internal fabric of german society is pretty well you know strengthened economically the are riding high great economic machine that s working in their favor people are afraid of whether that they re going to continue i don t see much difference here i think this is some extent it might be a question of whether or not germany s role in europe or germany s sense of who it is will become perhaps more front and center. and america was able to do a lot of good during the last twelve years but there s a lot of pending questions out there need to be answered and i think the next shall we say replace in the consul will have to face those we got about half a middle me ask you about this grand coalition and they re trying to have a repeat of that do you think that s going to happen i personally do but it will be a hair of a majority because there s what i just said i think holds true for the yesterday as well as throughout the country but my feeling that now you asked me tonight a monday vote yeah i think that something would actually sunday i think they re going to pull it out ok we will see what happens jesse james president the american institute for contemporary german studies as always is going to have you on the show thanks for coming in here. turkey has reportedly extended its state of emergency for another three months the crackdown that followed an attempted coup in the summer of two thousand and sixteen continues now that crackdown has made turkey number one in the world in the number of journalists imprisoned many are being held without charges many are simply charged with aiding terrorists whatever that supposed to me are reporters used hidden cameras to go inside a turkish court where press freedom is on trial. for. breakfast shanahan shushed cohen is a ready checking to see if there have been any more arrests for years the thirty year old has worked as a court reporter covering the trials have her connie. i checked with other journalists were imprisoned since the police weren t at my place at five am they could have struck somewhere else. she has lost her sense of humor without it she says she wouldn t be able to last in her job. she reports from the heavily guarded palace of justice in istanbul the place where freedom of press in turkey came to an end i would joke there to be just like every day when i walk over to this place i see this building as some kind of a normas monster awaiting me with an ugly grimace to get it to kill cause i. cameras are not allowed in the courthouse so from this point we were cord with a hidden cell phone today she attends another case against colleagues of the daily paper hoary at the accusation betraying state secrets a few other reporters are present trials against journalists have become part of a sound routine in turkey the coverage of the trial itself is obstructed by the courts since on older homes they say there is no place for the press the building is huge but the courtrooms are very small the smallest rooms are always selected for these important trials. no more than twenty to twenty five visitors can fit into them. this time shakun colleagues walk free at least for the time being after two hours attorneys and defendants come out of the courtroom after the trial is postponed for two months before her groom sends a copy of the court s decision to have paper. outside in front of the courthouse the lawyer for the journalists describes the repeated postponement of the trial as a tactic to keep the defendants on depression. and her colleagues are watched and filmed by the police the entire time. and returns to the editorial department and shushed who knows that she could be indicted at any time for her court reporting oh by jove i was yachts in turkey there is no system of law that protects the rights of individuals entire groups in society have been declared enemies and their rights are just taken away. and the world would not be aware of this safe shannon didn t get up every morning to report from the inside of his stumbles palace of justice.

found something good in this beautiful world i felt the rain getting colder sha la la la la sha la la la la la sha la la la la sha la la la la la la anthony: this is okinawa, just south of mainland japan. for all the relative rigidity of the mainland, okinawa answers in its own unique way. don t eat the same thing each day. that s boring. there s even an okinawan term for it. chanpuru, something mixed. bits borrowed from all over served up for anyone to eat. but maybe you re more familiar with the name okinawa from this. as the setting for some of the most horrifyingly bloody battles of the second world war. how horrifying? for the allies there were more than 50,000 casualties with around 12,000 killed, or missing in action, over nearly three months of fighting. more than 100,000 japanese soldiers and okinawan conscripts were killed defending the island. civilians were stuck in the middle of the two armies and got crushed. no one will know for sure, but historians estimate 150,000 men, women, and children lost their lives during the battle. what most don t know is that okinawa had only become japan fairly recently. that to a great extent, okinawans didn t even consider themselves really japanese or vice-versa. that okinawans and japanese considered themselves to be different ethnicities, spoke two different languages, and culturally, culinary, and in many other ways, looked in different directions. yet, okinawans were asked to make the ultimate sacrifice, and they did. that s not just ancient history. it informs the present still. okinawa is the largest of over 100 islands making up the ryukyu island chain. it s just over 300 miles from the mainland but worlds apart. okinawa is different. it s tropical. clear waters, some of the best beaches in asia, to the decidedly more laidback, less frenetic, self-serious attitude than the mainland. you can feel it. you can see it. it s just different here. two thousand pounds of heavily muscled beef enters the arena. you could feel the ground shake under its heavy hooves. his opponent awaits. togi, also known as ushi-zumo. sumo, yes, but bull sumo. these are professionals and, like jake lamotta and chuck wepner before them, they shall live to fight, or do other stuff, another day. having shed decidedly less blood than either of those two gentlemen. two animals, two handlers. and they do, like, the burgess meredith job in rocky. and like fighters, or sumo, the bulls are ranked by their ability. their record in the ring, the highest being yokozuna. this is kenny aiman. he lives up the road. is there a time limit or they just go till somebody gives up? kenny: i think they pretty much go until somebody gives up and when it gets around the anthony: there s no point system here. kenny: no, no, there s no point system. basically when the other one turns around and runs away, that s the winner. a few times one bull will actually get around to the side and actually be able to flip the bull over. anthony: right, and winner and loser survive, both. kenny: once in a while you ll have injuries but most of the time the bulls go home and anthony: they go home to be happy. kenny: they do. anthony: nobody s turned into steak or culets. kenny: no. anthony: togi started as early as the 17th century with farmers pinning bull against bull. they love it in agricultural communities like this so much so that it was briefly banned in some places because farmers were spending too much time at the fights. and not enough time growing sugar cane. like cus d amato and the young tyson their handlers raised these beasts from calves. caring for them on one hand and training them, conditioning them to be monsters in the ring, on the other. oh! kenny: oh, oh, oh, oh! anthony: damn, does one wager on this? kenny: i guess the, uh, the official answer would be that gambling s illegal in japan. anthony: intermission. time for a corndog, some funnel cake, curly fries? no. better, much better. yakitori, yes, they have that. but when in okinawa do as the okinawans do, yakisoba. start with pork belly, as one always should. some hacked up sausage, cabbage, carrots, fry that stuff up on the griddle, add some chukamen noodles and sauce, soy, mirin, brown sugar, vinegar, and a bit of sake. topped with seaweed powder, some pickled ginger garnish, and eat. now. oh, he looks aggressive. oh yeah. kenny: oh, he s ready to go. this guy i think is gonna win this one. anthony: all right, well, we haven t seen his opponent. oh yeah. my money s on him. el aggressor. pretty decisive winner there. i m not accusing anybody of gambling but, uh i see some money changing hands. he can do it, i can do it, damn it. anthony: if you re looking for sushi or kaiseki or ramen you will, of course, find them in okinawa. but what you need to know, what you must know, is that in okinawa pork is king. okay, they got tofu too. here at urizun they do specifically okinawan food, the okinawan way. kenny: hai, arigatou. this is the tofuyo, which anthony: okay. kenny: you just eat a little at a time. anthony: is that that strong? kenny: it is a little strong, yeah. it has, like, a cheese type of texture. anthony: it s good. kenny: not bad, right? anthony: it is like blue cheese. ah, pork belly? kenny: yes. anthony: okinawans love pork. every part of the magical animal, the pig. at urizun, the pork belly is slowly cooked in stock heavily infused with bonito flakes and awamori. the ears are simmered until tender. thinly sliced, and dressed in rice wine vinaigrette. and the ribs, after brining in sake and seasonings, are slowly roasted. so you grew up in new jersey. how did you find your way to okinawa? kenny: well, my mom, my mom was from here, my dad was in the navy. he was stationed here, met my mom, and wound up back in new jersey. because that s where my dad was from, patterson.ent to it was h this, kinda like, identity complex. there would be, like, times where people would come to the house. they d say, oh, where s your mom from? is she from china? anthony: oh god, yeah, right. kenny: yeah, open the refrigerator, and there d be some weird food. you know? hey, what s that? what are you eating? and every time i heard that i was like, wow, am i, like, am i different? and also one day my mom says, we re going back to okinawa on a family trip. i was 17 years old. anthony: and you d never been up to that point? kenny: no, but when i got off the plane, i don t know what it was, it was, like, i m here. this is my home. being able to connect with my heritage i felt something. i was like, wow, i belong here. anthony: how about the food? what was in that refrigerator? because i know a lot of kids, who grew up with that same sort of, uh, uncertainty when they brought their friends home from school to their house and opened their refrigerator. you know if kimchi or cabbage or fish sauce. they were aware of it when they visited their friends, and they were acutely uncomfortable with it when their friends came over. man, have things changed as far as attitudes. i mean, pretty much the engine of the new american cuisine are kids with childhoods like yours. and i don t mean just what s hip, what s the next new thing. i mean, literally redefining what is american cuisine. let s put it this way. the central irony of this story is that, you know, your mom would have been, like, hipster hero of new jersey now. walk it off look. one more mile look. reply all look. own your look with fewer lines. there s only one botox® cosmetic. it s the only one fda approved to temporarily make frown lines, crow s feet and forehead lines look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness may be a sign of a life-threatening condition. do not receive botox® cosmetic if you have a skin infection. side effects may include allergic reactions, injection site pain, headache, eyebrow, eyelid drooping and eyelid swelling. tell your doctor about your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. so, give that just saw a puppy look and whatever that look is. look like you with fewer lines. own your look with the one and only botox® cosmetic. own your look check it out, our unlimited plan on the brand new samsung galaxy s10. oooh. premium entertainment on the infinity screen! people have seven different premium entertainment options to choose from. cause people are different. like how you cut the crust off of your sandwiches, and i eat them. and i m pretty laid back and casual, and you. iron your jeans. i m actually very happy you noticed that. cool. that s cool. at&t has the only unlimited plan that gives you your choice of top-tier entertainment. buy a new galaxy s10e, and get one free. more for your thing. that s our thing. i feel most times we re high and low high and low if i had my way enhance your moments. san pellegrino. tastefully italian. now kayak and opentable let you earn travel rewards every time you dine. earn points with each restaurant reservation on opentable and redeem them for hotel discounts on kayak. get started at kayak.com/diningrewards. so, you re open all day, that s what 24/7 means, sugar. kind of like how you get 24/7 access to licensed agents with geico. hmm?

so, ever since that battle of okinawa. okinawan people say we were sort of, uh, what do you call it? anthony: sacrificed? masahide: yes, mm-hmm. anthony: masahide ota is a former governor of okinawa. in 1945 he was a young conscript in the japanese imperial army. he fought hard and bravely against the allies until he saw japanese soldiers murdering okinawans for food and water. and his faith melted away. gettouan is a private home turned restaurant. serving very traditional okinawan dishes. in honor of their outspoken former governor the restaurant has prepared a dish typically served to royals and v.i.ps in what was once the ryukyu kingdom. it s called tundabun, after the lacquered dish the multi bite-sized portions are presented in. masahide: let s eat. anthony: that s very good. there s some squid. swordfish wrapped in seaweed and simmered in stock in fermented sake. dried sea snake wrapped in kombu and slow simmered. burdock root wrapped in pork loin and slow cooked in katsuo stock. okinawan taro flash fried then dressed with sugar and soy. and pork shoulder, dredged in black sesame, then steamed. you have described, uh, that, uh, you were shocked and surprised to see the the japanese soldiers, their treatment of okinawans was not good during the, uh, the battle. masahide: and, if you use the okinawan language, you will be killed as a spy, you know? anthony: right. masahide: but the okinawan people could not understand standard language, you know? so, the japanese forces killed lots of local people, you know? anthony: particularly given, uh, the experience of the war, how japanese do you think most people feel here? masahide: there s a fundamental difference between japanese culture and okinawan culture. japanese culture is warrior culture. but okinawan culture is absence of militarism. okinawan people are happy-go-lucky people. anthony: do you think that easy going, um, that reputation, that tradition of, uh, being happy-go-lucky. do you think that this has led to okinawans being taken advantage of? i mean, for instance, uh, the u.s. military bases. okinawa is 1% of the landmass of japan, and yet what percentage of the military bases are here on okinawa? almost all of them. okinawa seems to be asked to make a lot of sacrifices, uh, for the mainland. will that ever stop? masahide: you are talking about nimby. anthony: not in my backyard? masahide: yes, yes. ese days l a little anxious sometimes. so i m partnering with cigna, to remind you that how you re doing emotionally affects you physically. go for your annual check-up and be open with your doctor about anything you re feeling. physically, and emotionally. body and mind. i switched to verizon because i was tired of having my calls dropped. i had friends that were next to me and they weren t having these issues and they said like, you need to switch! and then i d heard that i could get apple music if i switched over and i said, boom! music is very important to me. i come from the techno era, but i m hip-hop at heart.

white russian? nah, gary, gimme a stella art-toes. excuse me. good choice. well, changing can do a little good. dude abides. and back pain made it hard to sleep and get up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid, plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i m back. aleve pm for a better am. all of you. how you live, what you love. that s what inspired us to create america s most advanced internet. internet that puts you in charge. that protects what s important. it handles everything, and reaches everywhere. this is beyond wifi, this is xfi. simple. easy. awesome. xfinity, the future of awesome. anthony: for a place with as bloody a history, okinawa is today, noticeably more laid back than the mainland. but that does not mean everybody s forgotten their warrior traditions. when the feudal satsuma empire from the mainland invaded okinawa in 1609, they banned the carrying, manufacture, or use of weapons of any kind. the ban was later reinforced in 1879 when japan formally annexed the island. it is believed that these prohibitions led directly to the development of a new style of martial art. indisputably born in okinawa, karate, or, empty hands technique. and it s even more vicious cousin. a form that uses farm and fishing tools to lethal effect. hard and soft, balance. for everything soft, there must be something hard. goju-ryu is one of the main traditional styles of karate, featuring a combination of hard and soft techniques. go means hard linear attacks, closed hand strikes, and kicks. ju, means soft open hand circular, blocking, sweeping and take down movements. sensei tetsuhiro hokama, is a legendary master of goju-ryu. people come from all over the world to study at his dojo, and the training they get is hardcore. i ve been invited to watch hokama sensei s students warm up. let me repeat, this is only the warm up. that does not look like fun. the exercises are designed to repeatedly punish your hands and feet. building up stronger, larger, more protective deposits around the bones. basically weaponizing even your weakest and smallest extremities. and it hurts even to watch. brutal. james: it s bad, it s bad. anthony: james pankiewicz, brit and black belt in shorin-ryu karate, moved to okinawa in 2009 to study budo, or the way of martial arts. he acts as translator for most of the karate sensei on the island. earlier i met james and hokama sensei in makishi public market in okinawa s largest city, naha. james: that s the tasty one, right, we ll take that one. anthony: and what are these? james: so these are puffer fish. so, we got some they re gonna do some deep-fried fish for us. anthony: gurukun, the unofficial national fish of okinawa. and porcupine fish, both battered and deep-fried. james: we re gonna do sashimi. anthony: okinawans eat just about any kind of fish sashimi style. for us, snapper and parrotfish. james: and lobster. anthony: because one must. served raw and still twitching in the shell. james: and we re gonna get some sea grapes as well. anthony: oh good, good, that s, uh, super traditional. sea grapes, the classic regional side dish dressed in rice vinegar. what you buy downstairs from vendors. for a small fee, restaurants will cook it for you upstairs. james: wow. group: oh my god. happy? anthony: wow. so, okinawa s most famous export, perhaps, is karate. hokama: uh-huh. anthony: when most of us think of karate we think of striking exclusively. is that an accurate representation of what you re doing? james: the basis of okinawan karate is that it was used primarily as a defensive art. um, in other words, being able to, you know, control and subdue the opponent. usually, if you could, in a humane way, but then if you had to anthony: right. james: finish them then you had the ability to finish them. the striking is important but a lot of the technique is not about striking, it s about submission techniques. and some of that is to do with kyusho, so, attacking nerve points. and, uh, hokama sensei in particular is extremely skilled at, um, dealing with, uh, you know, bigger stronger, opponents. hokama: human engineering, very important. point, point, point, point, point, point, point, point, point. then this point attack with the fingers. no, no knuckle, open. anthony: a demonstration of hokama sensei s open hand kyusho technique becomes little too real for my taste. awful. human engineering. with a terrifying logic one attacks the weak point. all i know how to do in this situation, by the way, is pull guard and look for something to choke or lock. nope, apparently they don t know what tapping out means here because i was tapping like western god damn union. i thought he was going to push that 71-year-old finger right into my brainpan. james: there was a saying in the old days, that if there was a fight happening somewhere in town people would go and have a look. and they d say, are they fighting with fists or open hand? and if they were fighting with fists they d say, oh don t bother, it s an amateur fight. if they re fighting with open hands then they knew they were masters. except maybe being first in line to the grand opening of the world s largest rollercoaster. the volkswagen atlas. more room means more fun. check it out, our unlimited plan on the brand new samsung galaxy s10. oooh. premium entertainment on the infinity screen! people have seven different premium entertainment options to choose from. cause people are different. like how you cut the crust off of your sandwiches, and i eat them. and i m pretty laid back and casual, and you. iron your jeans. i m actually very happy you noticed that. cool. that s cool. at&t has the only unlimited plan that gives you your choice of top-tier entertainment. buy a new galaxy s10e, and get one free. more for your thing. that s our thing. you wouldn t accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills?

(burke) hit and drone. seen it, covered it. we know a thing or two because we ve seen a thing or two. we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum archival newscaster: on the eastern coast of okinawa yanks entered the village of kin. anthony: the u.s. military came ashore in 1945. and to okinawans, it must seem like they never left. today there are roughly 30,000 troops stationed on the island. put that many americans in a place, especially young, mostly male americans, many of them homesick, and it tends to change the environment. kin town, just outside of naha, right by camp hansen, one of the larger bases. archival newscaster: the yanks have fought inch by inch to conquer this island. anthony: kin is a small slice of americana, both the mainstream america and its dark underbelly. the okinawans have made the kind of adjustments that people do when saddled with neighbors like thousands of marines, and sometime in the 80s adjusted food as we knew it to this. a mutant classic. taco rice. waitress: taco and rice, that s taco rice. anthony: wow. vivian: wow, it s big. anthony: is this chili sauce or is it ketchup? vivian: um, it s original taco. anthony: oh, it s taco sauce. vivian: tper spicy. anthony: oh good. vivian ttakushi has lived in both the u.s. and okinawa. and her aunt sumiko, an entertainer who began singing in american bases after the war. wow, that s good. there are dueling claims as to how taco rice might have morphed into existence. but sayuri shimabukuro is certain. in the 1980 s, american servicemen introduced the standard taco to okinawans. and her grandfather matsuzio gibo decided to tweak them. dumping the fillings straight on to rice for the late night crowd of marines coming back from the bars. this unholy, greasy, starchy, probably really unhealthy delight. a booze mop turned classic, caught on big time for both americans missing home and locals. so i consider myself a pretty pro-military guy. but why are the marines here? like, i like marines but, you know, i m not robert mcnamara. but it seems to be if you go to war with china, sending in the marines is probably not what you re gonna be doing. people of your generation, what do you think the attitude is towards the military bases? vivian: as long as we re not living near the base anthony: right. vivian: it doesn t affect us that much. anthony: right, near the base it makes a difference. vivian: near the base it makes, right. anthony: i mean look, you know right away, i mean, it s tattoo parlors, strip clubs, vape shops, i mean, you know. vivian: and also it s very loud. that s a big issue. anthony: tourism is probably the future of okinawa, yes? i mean, beautiful weather, beaches. if the bases leave, it s gonna be big hotels and resorts and golf courses. which is worse? chinese tourists or american marines? vivian: i ll stick with the marines. anthony: semper fi. not everybody here agrees with vivian, by a long shot. okinawans may be easy going and laid back, but the island is also a relative hot bed of political activism. largely inspired or provoked by what okinawans see as high handed treatment from a central government with different cultural and historical traditions. who don t consider their needs or priorities. and their hugely disproportionate shouldering of the u.s. military presence for the entire country. currently there are close to thirty military installations on okinawa. and even though it s one of the smallest japanese prefectures in terms of livable area, they accommodate more than half of the foreign military presence. even more problematic, much of okinawa s arable land suitable for farming. on an island whose whole traditional identity was built around farming, is eaten up by military bases. the military base issue. is this more important for older people or younger people? keiji: oh, it s for the older people. anthony: it s for the older people. keiji: yes. so when you actually go to a place where they have a, like, a protest going on. i would say over 80% of the people are, uh, all retired person. anthony: why do you think that is? keiji: um, this is only my opinion. but, uh, japanese imperial army did a lot of brutal stuff on this island and war never ended for some people. and the feelings that they got suppressed all of a sudden after they retire they kind of burst. and they wanna kinda anthony: act out. keiji: act out. anthony: this is keiji yoda, he s an okinawan farmer. and this is nishimachi, a small noodle shop that bears only the owner s name and serves only okinawan-style soba. pork belly or ribs as the meat. the broth a mix of fish, chicken, pork, and vegetable stocks. okinawan soba differs greatly from what we know from the mainland. they use wheat noodles instead of buckwheat. a nod, perhaps, to the spaghetti-eating marines they lived with all these years. garnishes are spring onion, fish cake, and slices of omelet. add your pickled ginger, and togarashi hot sauce and hoo-rah. it seems the anti-base sentiment also coincide with anti-central government sentiment. keiji: yes. anthony: you do bear a hugely disproportionate burden of bases. isn t some activism called for here? keiji: i think the young generation should decide what to do for our future instead of the old people just fighting for their beliefs. to me i really feel a strong need to, uh, forgive. and then forget. and then move on. it gave me ba. it was so embarrassing. now i take new biotene dry mouth lozenges whenever i m on the go, which is all the time. new biotene dry mouth lozenges. freshen breath anytime, anywhere. online tax service getting you?

this is bunshiro nagame and yohina tomahiro. kumejima residents and friends of james. james: no, they didn t. they suffered very little damage in the war. anthony: and, uh, no military bases? no american presence? james: well, up until 72 there was an american base. anthony: there was. james: but then in 72, in the reversion, the base was taken away. anthony: now, nothing? james: only the japanese self-defense forces now. anthony: what do people do here? agriculture? james: growing sugar cane. anthony: i saw. james: tourism. fishing. anthony: fishing. have there been attempts to develop here? and, uh, have the locals been able to resist that impulse? james: he s saying on kumejima they have rich lives. they have everything they need. they have produce from the land, from the sea. they don t need much else. anthony: i ve been invited to a beach barbecue kumejima-style. go big or go home. to eat some fresh caught tuna that comes straight from the market to be butchered into sashimi. also caught this morning, some sea snails for the grill. and mozuku, seaweed which can be cooked but today is enjoyed raw. and local prawns eaten either rather raw or grilled or both. anthony: now that looks awesome. off with the head. there s more. local beef grilled and then tossed with moyashi, seasoned bean sprouts. we will need our energy it appears. tegumi is as old school a martial art as it gets. no ring, no octagon, the rules are simple. known as okinawan sumo, it looks easy. it s not. your hands are wrapped in your opponent s belt. object is to get him onto his back, both shoulders before he does it to you. anthony: nice. you land on your back for even a second, you lose. james: there, he got it there. anthony: awesome. james: would you like to try? try it. anthony: yeah, sure. man: yes. james: go on, anthony. nicely done. anthony: in the end, it s a less than smoothly executed judo move, kosoto gake i believe, that brings my opponent to ground. thank you for going easy on me. awesome. you know that look? that life of the party look. walk it off look. one more mile look. reply all look. own your look with fewer lines. there s only one botox® cosmetic. it s the only one fda approved to temporarily make frown lines, crow s feet and forehead lines look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness may be a sign of a life-threatening condition. do not receive botox® cosmetic if you have a skin infection. side effects may include allergic reactions, injection site pain, headache, eyebrow, eyelid drooping and eyelid swelling. tell your doctor about your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. so, give that just saw a puppy look and whatever that look is. look like you with fewer lines. own your look with the one and only botox® cosmetic. i m missing out on our family outings because i can t find a bladder leakage product that fits. everything was too loose. but depend® fit-flex feels tailored to me. with a range of sizes for all body types. depend® fit-flex underwear is guaranteed to be your best fit. depend® fit-flex underwear check it out, our unlimited plan on the brand new samsung galaxy s10. oooh. premium entertainment on the infinity screen! people have seven different premium entertainment options to choose from. cause people are different. like how you cut the crust off of your sandwiches, and i eat them. and i m pretty laid back and casual, and you. iron your jeans. i m actually very happy you noticed that. cool. that s cool. at&t has the only unlimited plan that gives you your choice of top-tier entertainment. buy a new galaxy s10e, and get one free. more for your thing. that s our thing. what is that?

uh, it s actually just a fire. priceline. every trip is a big deal. anthony: so, i ve given up many vices in my life. many shameful, filthy, guilty pleasures that i used to like that i will that i just don t do anymore. uh, cocaine, heroin, prostitutes. the musical stylings of steven tyler. uh, i put aside these childish things, as it were. in favor of a newer more mature me, but there is one shameful secret. one thing i just can t give up. one thing i keep coming back to every time i come back to japan. one thing that still has an unholy grip on me for no reason that i can gather. it s a convenience store formerly of near akron, ohio, that mutated into a massive japanese chain. behold the wonder that is lawson. what is it exactly about this place that s got its tentacles so deep into my heart and my soul?

anthony: i think i would like a beer and maybe a shot of something. james: well, i do have a little shot of something. anthony: that s a big snake. james: so the habushu sake is, like, the spirit of okinawa. anthony: is this sake or whiskey? james: this is sake. this is okinawan sake called awamori. so, like a mainland japanese sake, but then they distill it like whiskey. so it becomes stronger, but also now it will age. it s been in here with the snake maybe, like, three years. so all of the essence of the snake has gone out into the alcohol. anthony: there seems to be a conflict of interest here. you train, uh, karate very seriously. i mean, should you people be drinking? this is why i m asking. where is the point of diminishing returns? james: there are not many teachers who don t drink. awamori is intrinsic to the okinawan culture. anthony: right. james: most enjoy awamori as part of their lifestyle in the same way that karate is part of their lifestyle. they re saying please eat. less talking, more eating. anthony: well done. sashimi of, well, let s just say it s animal you like. james: this is horsemeat. anthony: horse, ah. man: horse. anthony: thank you. good. good and this?
