Former Westchester County, N.Y., D.A. Jeanine Pirro discusses the week s biggest legal stories. or four of them out. judge jeanine: i know you will have more to say tomorrow morning on fox news sunday. now to my opening statement. you know, americans elected the outsider businessman president. why? to borrow a phrase from the man himself. what do we have to lose? the economy was in the tank, our kids western living in the basement because they couldn t find a job. factories were closing down, jobs and manufacturing were being shipped overseas, and in trade, china was sucking us dry. the obama folks called it a healthy economy but there was barely a pulse. 1% annual gdp growth was the new normal and president obama warned donald trump s election would result in economic disaster for all americans. some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come throw us into a recession. the last thing we need. he would undermine the growth that we have had since the great recession. in the event donald wins i have no doubt in my mind the markets tank. his tax plan in combination with his refusal to reform entitlements and honestly address spending would balloon the deficit and the national debt. so even though donald trump is offered very few specific economic plans, what little he has said is enough to know he would be very bad for american workers and american families. judge jeanine: then was paul krugman, a nobel prize wing economist. he said the stock market will plummet and never recover from the election of donald trump. so we are very probably looking at a global respecial no end in sight. some are so blienltd by their hatred of donald trump, they forget decades of training in their own field. as america surges forward with more jobs than people to fill them, with african-american and hispanic unemployment the lowest in history and millions coming off food stamps because they want to work. the left, they rant and protest and create chaos. thp. they throw people out of restaurants and off television shows. they even go to church and say god sent them to destroy donald trump. the left doesn t care about our economic success. all they want to do is make noise. but it s nothing more than background noise. white noise. the truth? no one is paying attention to them. his numbers continue to increase and his popularity just keeps going up. after he met with putin and was accused of everything from collusion to treason, an offense punishable by death, his numbers continued to go up. when are they going to realize their yelling and screaming is nothing but a distraction, nobody cares. we care about food on the table, paying the rent, the mortgage, paying for kids clothing for school. but no, they want to talk about whores and porn stars or a lawyer they are squeezing so tight he ll confess to sinking the titanic. despite a media focused on a whack-a-mole russia collusion nonsense and the haters continue to hate, the president has thundered forward with his america first agenda. the 45th outsider president often work without the support of his own party has produced a gdp that no one thought possible, 4.1%. and we are on track to hit the highest average growth rate in over 13 years. what have you got to say to that, barack, hillary and all you geniuses? we are flying folks. this is the america donald trump had in mind when he asked us, what do you have to lose. that s my open. tell me what you think on my facebook, twitter and instagram hashtag judge jeanine. if you loved mire open you will love my new book. it s a new york times number one best seller. get your copy if you haven t already. here with reaction to my opening statement, hogan gidley. talk to me about the economy and my open. you are absolutely right, judge. remember when donald trump was elected as president of the united states, so many people said the economy wouldn t just tank, but it would never recover from what he would do to this economy. here we are with 3.5 million jobs created. regulations cut. we are open for business. this president mass gone on the global stage and said other countries have to pay their fair share in nato. in he said to our friends and allies, we are the piggy bank of the world and it stops today. i was in granite city, illinois when he gave that speech to the steel plant, u.s. steel. i watched the tears on the faces of grown men who told us they hadn t had a job in two years because barack obama told them those times of jobs were gone and would never come back. 1% gdp growth was the new normal the experts said. this president proved people wrong yet again. americans are back to work. it s an incredible time and it s due to this president s economic policy. judge jeanine: people who want the work, people who pay their taxes and follow all the rules, they are the ones who deserve the effort of this government. and speak of that, i want to talk about the ash lition of i.c.e. it seems the democrats pulled back on it because they were doing polls and most of of the american people are not in support of the abolition of i.c.e. we have ocasio-cortez who beat joe crowley in new york for the primary, now kirsten gillibrand, they are saying we have to abolish i.c.e. they are serious. it, incredible. anyone who wants to abolish i.c.e. either have no clue what i.c.e. does or they have decided to ignore the safety and security of their constituents. ms-13, the blood this city gang. they focus on smuggling, human trafficking, drugs. they are there to stop that. this president stands up for the hard working men and women who put their lives on the line every day and work for ice. democrats say we are going to stand with ms-13 whose motto is kill, rape and control. judge jeanine: the remains of american soldiers from the korean war are now coming back. how many administrations before donald trump tried to get read mains of american soldiers. there have been several. but this president actually delivered. they said these things he promised would never come fruition and here we are on the precipice of getting repatriated remains of those people in the military. i talked to some sphoaks folks who served and their surviving loved ones. it was a sense of pride, peace and closure they never would have had except for this president it s amazing. judge jeanine: it is amazing, and it s all about closure for these families. dan bongino and chris hahn standing by on the panel. bust more on tonight s breaking news you heard from rudy giuliani right here. congressman ron desantis weighs in on the trim the trump-cohen tape. (vo) i was born during the winter of 77. i first met james in 5th grade. we got married after college. and had twin boys. but then one night, a truck didn t stop. but thanks to our forester, neither did our story. and that s why we ll always drive a subaru. where we re changing withs? contemporary make-overs. then, use the ultimate power handshake, the upper hander with a double palm grab. who has the upper hand now? start winning today. book now at lq.com. you might be missing something.y healthy. your eyes. that s why there s ocuvite. ocuvite helps replenish nutrients your eyes can lose as you age. it has lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3. ocuvite. be good to your eyes. giuliani telling us explosive details how they believe someone played with the trump-cohen recording. joining us, congressman ron desantis who joins me now. first time i heard that tape and then there was a break at the point where it seemed to be in the president s favor and then it was garbled. i said to myself that would never be admissible. then it s sent over to cnn. they have been trying to get forensic analysts to see if it has been tampered with but they can t get the originality tape to see fit has been. this whole thing is very strange. $of the questions some of the questions involving the tape. lanny davis is a democrat, a big clintonista. i don t know how much credibility that evidence will have. judge jeanine: the damage is done. i didn t because of my background. but they leaked it. it s not even an issue if they can admit it at trial. if they want to impeach they will say you know about that tape when you and i both not wouldn t be admissible in court. i want to talk about my favorite guy, rod rosenstein who is basically running the department of justice after he convinced jeff sessions to go hide in the closet. you guys wanted to impeach him. and i understand there was a resolution to have the guy impeached based upon what facts? a number of things. he should have recused himself from this. he wrote the memo saying comey should be fired. and he signed one of the fisa extensions for carter page. those are critical issues with some of the information we are trying to get. he stonewalled to congress. they redacted material facts from documents provided to congress. this has not been adequate cooperation with the congress. these are important issues the american people have the right to. congress has limited tools. the problem with the impeachment is there weren t enough republican votes for it. i would like to see is proceed with contempt of congress. the problem is congress is gone for the august recess. so that is not going to be a viable vehicle until sometime in september. and by the time even if it did get off the ground, i think it may be too late. judge jeanine: paul ryan wouldn t get on board and as i understand it, he didn t want this impeachment to go through or contempt of congress. here is the bottom line. am i somewhat right about paul ryan and the leadership. you come on and all your friends come on and you are trying to do it. somebody is stopping you. who is stopping you? the leadership is opposed to my resolution. judge jeanine: paul ryan. say his name. the speaker was opposed to it. getting some of this stuff short of that. i think that can be done and i don t know why that hasn t happened. you have people like nunez pushing, but we have certain issues involving what surveillance happened before july 31, 2016. what informants were used. what about the dossier. those are easily answered questions from the department. judge jeanine: plus he threatened congressional staff. candace owens is still on deck with this week s most of outrageous statement. these two guys can t get enough of each other. chris hahn and dan bongino keep coming back for more. for drivers with accident forgiveness liberty mutual won t raise their rates because of their first accident. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty if you have moderate to severe or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that s why there s otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it s a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don t use if you re allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. other side effects include upper respiratory tract infection and headache. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you re pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you. charged with arson starting a fire still burning in riverside county. officials say hundreds of structures are destroyed and hundreds more still at risk and tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate. pope francis is accepting the resignation from cardinal carrick after decade old sexual accusations. i m marianne rafferty. now back to justice with judge jeanine. president trump: we accomplished an economic turnaround of historic proportions. we have turned it all around. once again we are the economic envy of the entire world. judge jeanine: that s president trump talking about the incredible news about the economy friday. former aid to chuck schumer and radio host chris than. and dan bongino. how are you going to wiggle your way out of what the president said. 1.5 million fewer prime age americans were working when he came into office. i will give him some credit for the economy, maybe not as much as he s giving himself. he didn t inherit a mess. the economy has been on an upward economy for years. and some people were front loading their exports. president obama had four quarters better than this. and he created more jobs in his presidency than president trump has created. obama had a 5.1% growth in the second square and over 4% growth in the third square. he lost seats in the mid-term. jean require many all about sustainability and obama couldn t do it. chris is a little confused. president trump did inherit a mess. this is a fact. i know chris sometimes has a tough time with these things. but barack obama is the only president in united states history to never in two terms reach 3% gdp growth annually. keep in mind, one-term presidents have done it. he s also at the bottom. he s one of the top five worst economic presidents in american history. and by the way. i know chris is going to try to wiggle out of this one. barack obama harmed him a 1.9% growth rate in the final square and 1.6% the final year and trump turned it around right away. judge jeanine: did you call up and tell him he was wrong, dan? i didn t want to bother him. i thought he might be sleeping. here the deal. my numbers are dead on for the second and third quairlts of 2014. let s not count for 3% growth before it hatched. president trump did not achieve it last year and he may not achieve it this year. obama got 2.9%. he gets 3.1, i ll say hooray. let s not count our chickens before they are hatched and not give all the credit to him. we have been on an upward trend for years. that s just not true. he handed him a mess by any measure. i will give you this. i don t give any president good or bad credit for the economy. i give to it american entrepreneur. i think the president can do things to get the government out of the way. and i think that s what donald trump has done through the tax cuts and cleaning up the regulatory mess barack obama left us. barack obama was a disaster by any metric. labor force participation, wage growth. and i am surprised you didn t bring up. the employment cost index, donald trump his first year, bested barack obama s 8 years. there is a long way to go between here and the end. judge jeanine: i have an idea, rinse, here is the bottom line, i can t yell because i have a sore throat. my mother called me during the break and said jeanine, you have to have some water. if the unemployment is the lowest it s been ever for african-americans, for minorities, we have more jobs than people to fill them. you can talk gdp until the cows come home. that s what matters. a job and the ability to take care of your family. i want to talk about this tape. chris, do you want to answer? go ahead. there is a lot of good and there is a lot of caution. the deficit and the debt are growing dramatically. that s the trade deficit. the budget definite, those are different things. i give up. don t tell me on a saturday night i have to shave for this and i have to let him get away with this. for 8 years we had to deal with barack obama and record deficits. now i get, chris, i m with you. debt and deficits stink. point stipulated. but please spare us the nonsense about debt and deficit after 8 years of barack obama. he reduced the budget deficit every year. chris always has a scam. he came into office with the highest annual deficit in american history. if i owe $700,000 and make $50,000 a year and pay down $25,000. this is not an accomplishment. this is what obama did. he ran deficits every year. judge jeanine: all right, guys. thank you. now, how did a former attorney general make my list of the week s most outrageous statements? that s ahead. more on the trump-cohen tape. alan dershowitz joins me and you don t want to miss him. sweat the details. noticing what most will never notice. it s what you do. when the thing you re making. isn t a thing. it s your reputation. the all-new ram 1500. comfortably, the most luxurious truck in its class. and why more people are switching to ram than ever before. i have to tell you something incredible. capital one has partnered with hotels.com to give venture cardholders 10 miles on every dollar they spend at thousands of hotels. all you have to do is pay with this at hotels.com/venture. 10 miles per dollar?

judge jeanine: developing tonight. that was president trump s attorney rudy giuliani on justice discussing the breaking news on the trump-cohen tape. joining me with the new book the case against impeaching trump. harvard law professor alan dershowitz. yesterday you wrote an interesting piece in the hill on how an obstruction case against president trump should raise a flag for any civil libertarian irrespective of which side of the aisle they are on. tell me why. they shall trying to they are trying to stitch together an obstruction case on public tweets. people don t obstruct justice in public. if you are going to obstruct justice you are going to do it in private. the idea the special counsel is trying to put together, he knows he doesn t have the case. he s trying to put together a case based on tweets, public statements, presidential statements dwab presidential action. that s so dangerous to civil liberties. today it s being used against trump, tomorrow it will be used against democrats and tomorrow it will be used begins in the audience. any civil libertarian ought to be outraged that this special counsel is trying to cobble together a case against president trump based on his tweets. judge jeanine: would you agree when some of the judges were looking at the travel ban, they were looking outside the four corners of the ban itself. this is fundamental contract law. everything is weren t four corn of a contract or based on ways relevant to the specific issue. would you agree with that? if you don t, tell me. i completely agree. the majority of the supreme court said what the president said about the travel ban is not as important as what s in the words of the travel ban. you can t have a travel ban that would be constitutional if president obama issued it but unconstitutional if president trump issued it. judge jeanine: i want to talk about rudy giuliani. he talks about the tape, there is a break in the tape. it gets muddled. the first thing i thought is what s going on with this. what are your thoughts on it? 10 years ago i represented the former president of ukraine who was charged with a serious crime and it was based on a tape. we were able to get the tape and put it through forensic analysis and prove they switched words on the tape and made him say things he didn t say. i don t know that happened here. all i know is this tape must be subjected to forensic analysis. we must stretch the word to find out exactly what the president said, what the context was, and most of important why it ended at a particular point. was that a decision made by mr. co-on end it there? was it erased because he said things that were exculpatory. the tape does not contain any evidence of crimes. how do i know that? a former judge made a determination that this tape is covered by the lawyer-client privilege. and criminal discussions are not covered by the lawyer-client privilege. so we have a judicial determination that this tape does not contain elements of a crime. judge jeanine: you are talking about barbara jones the master on this who would not have handed over the tape if it were not covered by attorney-client privilege. absolutely right. nobody made that point and it s very important. there is a judicial determination it s not criminal. it s not a crime to seek advice from your lawyer as to how to deal with a complicated situation. every lawyer has had conversations like this with clients. in the end the client listens to you. but nobody should have heard this tape. judge jeanine: i agree, that s why you are a harvard professor. because you are so smart. she lots of those out she loves those outrageous statements. candace owens standing by live to look at the most of outrageous things said this week.on we knew helping our communities was important then. and we know it s even more important today. so we re stepping up to volunteer more and donate over a million dollars every day. so our communities can be even stronger. it s a new day at wells fargo. but it s a lot like our first day. church sermon that she was sent by god to stop him. take a listen to this. i was sent to [inaudible] turning point u.s.a. communications director candace owens joins me with that and much more. i keep hearing that the left is on god s side. isn t god on the right? i can t believe she said this. it s so bizarre. this is a woman who advocates for violence. she tells people to go up and accost trump supporters. i don t believe this is what god wants exactly. i don t recall that exact scripture. i do read the bible to be honest with you. i must tell you, the claim that god is on their side and at the same time calling for at the very left, harassment of public figures is shocking. let s go to the next one. sound on tape. are you seriously considering throwing your hat in the ring for 2020? i m thinking about it and i ll make a determination sometime early next year. judge jeanine: that s former attorney general eric holder asking asked, you are seriously considering throwing your hat in the ring. this guy was held in contempt of congress for failure to hand over documents in the fast and furious scandal where our guns were sent to the mexican cartel. he quite literally had blood on his hands. brian terry was the agent who was killed in this scandal. he was held in contempt of congress. the on sitting cabinet member ever to be held in contempt of congress. i can hear the channel lock him up all over again in 2020. he has a right to think about running, but he shouldn t think about winning. judge jeanine: holder never recused himself on any of this stuff. so when congress hold him in contempt there is no one to refer it to in the department of justice. the left is always smarter. they hang on to the power why the right. sessions this a closet somewhere. let s talk about chelsea handler. is the man who vandalized trump s star on the hollywood walk of fame single? what say you, candace? this is not even that bizarre when it comes to chelsea handler. she advocates on behalf of ms-13, which is okay with molotov cocktails being thrown at the palestinian border. she has nothing to do at the end of the day but send wacky tweets. judge jeanine: finally as we go forward, closer to the 018 mid-terms, do you think this will get worse? what s going to get worse? everything? judge jeanine: the specific statements. it will keep getting worse. this is their strategy. i can t imagine it getting much wackier. but with maxine waters it only seems to get much wackier and chelsea handler it only seems to get much wackier. judge jeanine: candace owens, thanks so much. we ll be right back. how do you win at business? stay at laquinta. where we re changing with contemporary make-overs. then, use the ultimate power handshake, the upper hander . saved an average of $412. that s auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. esurance. an allstate company. with tough food, your dentures may slip and fall. new fixodent ultra-max hold gives you the strongest hold ever to lock your dentures. so now you can eat tough food without worry. fixodent and forget it. is number one on the new york times bestseller list. number one on the washington post bestsellers list. i want to take a moment to think everyone was been so supportive, especially the folks who took the time to come to my book signings. take a look. i ve got pictures. here we are in the oval office with the president in washington in a book party there is there a huckabee sanders in washington, kelly in conway in dc and tom you know him from the show and jared kushner and donald trump junior in washington and wilbur ross, cabinet secretary in southampton. also, there is the mayor himself, mr. giuliani and former attorney general, also a federal judge and friends of mine from montréal and alvin and stacy who came from montréal and there is pamela, also held a party for me and there is the united states senator lindsey graham. eric trump junior along with lera trump in new york city and there i am at a book signing in new jersey were so many people waited in line for. there is a crowd when i first came in and in smithtown, long island look at the stuff they cook for me and 300 people in smithtown. there is a guy i owe it all to, my sir lancelot who sat with me as i wrote and wrote and wrote, i owe it all to him. if you don t have your copy you can go to barnes & noble or any bookstore and don t forget to follow me on twitter.

a number of things. did get off the ground, i think it may be too late. judge jeanine: paul ryan wouldn t get on board and as i understand it, he didn t want this impeachment to go through or contempt of congress. here is the bottom line. am i somewhat right about paul ryan and the leadership. you come on and all your friends come on and you are trying to do it. somebody is stopping you. who is stopping you? the leadership is opposed to my resolution. judge jeanine: paul ryan. say his name. the speaker was opposed to it. getting some of this stuff short of that. i think that can be done and i don t know why that hasn t happened. you have people like nunez pushing, but we have certain issues involving what surveillance happened before july 31, 2016. what informants were used. what about the dossier. those are easily answered questions from the department. judge jeanine: plus he threatened congressional staff. candace owens is still on deck with this week s most of outrageous statement. these two guys can t get enough of each other. chris hahn and dan bongino keep coming back forcusations. judge jeanine: that s president trump talking about the incredible news about the economy friday. former aid to chuck schumer and radio host chris than. and dan bongino. how are you going to wiggle your way out of what the president said. 1.5 million fewer prime age americans were working when he came into office. i will give him some credit for the economy, maybe not as much as he s giving himself. he didn t inherit a mess. the economy has been on an upward economy for years. and some people were front loading their exports. president obama had four quarters better than this. and he created more jobs in his presidency than president trump has created. obama had a 5.1% growth in the second square and over 4% growth in the third square. he lost seats in the mid-term. jean require many all about sustainability and obama couldn t do it. chris is a little confused. president trump did inherit a mess. this is a fact. i know chris sometimes has a tough time with these things. but barack obama is the only president in united states history to never in two terms reach 3% gdp growth annually. keep in mind, one-term presidents have done it. he s also at the bottom. he s one of the top five worst economic presidents in american history. and by the way. i know chris is going to try to wiggle out of this one. barack obama harmed him a 1.9% growth rate in the final square and 1.6% the final year and trump turned it around right away. judge jeanine: did you call up and tell him he was wrong, dan? i didn t want to bother him. i thought he might be sleeping. here the deal. my numbers are dead on for the second and third quairlts of 2014. let s not count for 3% growth before it hatched. president trump did not achieve it last year and he may not achieve it this year. obama got 2.9%. he gets 3.1, i ll say hooray. let s not count our chickens before they are hatched and not give all the credit to him. we have been on an upward trend for years. that s just not true. he handed him a mess by any measure. i will give you this. i don t give any president good or bad credit for the economy. i give to it american entrepreneur. i think the president can do things to get the government out of the way. and i think that s what donald trump has done through the tax cuts and cleaning up the regulatory mess barack obama left us. barack obama was a disaster by any metric. labor force participation, wage growth. and i am surprised you didn t bring up. the employment cost index, donald trump his first year, bested barack obama s 8 years. there is a long way to go between here and the end. judge jeanine: i have an idea, rinse, here is the bottom line, i can t yell because i have a sore throat. my mother called me during the break and said jeanine, you have to have some water. if the unemployment is the lowest it s been ever for african-americans, for minorities, we have more jobs than people to fill them. you can talk gdp until the cows come home. that s what matters. a job and the ability to take care of your family. i want to talk about this tape. chris, do you want to answer? go ahead. there is a lot of good and there is a lot of caution. the deficit and the debt are growing dramatically. that s the trade deficit. the budget definite, those are different things. i give up. don t tell me on a saturday night i have to shave for this and i have to let him get away with this. for 8 years we had to deal with barack obama and record deficits. now i get, chris, i m with you. debt and deficits stink. point stipulated. but please spare us the nonsense about debt and deficit after 8 years of barack obama. he reduced the budget deficit every year. chris always has a scam. he came into office with the highest annual deficit in american history. if i owe $700,000 and make $50,000 a year and pay down $25,000. this is not an accomplishment. this is what obama did. he ran deficits every year. judge jeanine: all right, guys. thank you. now, how did a former attorney general make my list of the week s most outrageous statements? that s ahead. more on the trump-cohen tape. alan dershowitz joins me and you don t want to miss him. what we are investigating, how did that happen. what did happen. what was eliminated. and you have to raise that question with every one of these tapes. how many of them did he play around with? judge jeanine: developing tonight. that was president trump s attorney rudy giuliani on justice discussing the breaking news on the trump-cohen tape. joining me with the new book the case against impeaching trump. harvard law professor alan dershowitz. yesterday you wrote an interesting piece in the hill on how an obstruction case against president trump should raise a flag for any civil libertarian irrespective of which side of the aisle they are on. tell me why. they shall trying to they are trying to stitch together an obstruction case on public tweets. people don t obstruct justice in public. if you are going to obstruct justice you are going to do it in private. the idea the special counsel is trying to put together, he knows he doesn t have the case. he s trying to put together a case based on tweets, public statements, presidential statements dwab presidential action. that s so dangerous to civil liberties. today it s being used against trump, tomorrow it will be used against democrats and tomorrow it will be used begins in the audience. any civil libertarian ought to be outraged that this special counsel is trying to cobble together a case against president trump based on his tweets. judge jeanine: would you agree when some of the judges were looking at the travel ban, they were looking outside the four corners of the ban itself. this is fundamental contract law. everything is weren t four corn of a contract or based on ways relevant to the specific issue. would you agree with that? if you don t, tell me. i completely agree. the majority of the supreme court said what the president said about the travel ban is not as important as what s in the words of the travel ban. you can t have a travel ban that would be constitutional if president obama issued it but unconstitutional if president trump issued it. judge jeanine: i want to talk about rudy giuliani. he talks about the tape, there is a break in the tape. it gets muddled. the first thing i thought is what s going on with this. what are your thoughts on it? 10 years ago i represented the former president of ukraine who was charged with a serious crime and it was based on a tape. we were able to get the tape and put it through forensic analysis and prove they switched words on the tape and made him say things he didn t say. i don t know that happened here. all i know is this tape must be subjected to forensic analysis. we must stretch the word to find out exactly what the president said, what the context was, and most of important why it ended at a particular point. was that a decision made by mr. co-on end it there? was it erased because he said things that were exculpatory. the tape does not contain any evidence of crimes. how do i know that? a former judge made a determination that this tape is covered by the lawyer-client privilege. and criminal discussions are not covered by the lawyer-client privilege. so we have a judicial determination that this tape does not contain elements of a crime. judge jeanine: you are talking about barbara jones the master on this who would not have handed over the tape if it were not covered by attorney-client privilege. absolutely right. nobody made that point and it s very important. there is a judicial determination it s not criminal. it s not a crime to seek advice from your lawyer as to how to deal with a complicated situation. every lawyer has had conversations like this with clients. in the end the client listens to you. but nobody should have heard this tape. judge jeanine: i agree, that s why you are a harvard professor. because you are so smart. she lots of those out she loves those outrageous statements. candace owens standing by live to look at the church sermon that she was sent by god to stop him. take a listen to this. i was sent to [inaudible] turning point u.s.a. communications director candace owens joins me with that and much more. i keep hearing that the left is on god s side. isn t god on the right? i can t believe she said this. it s so bizarre. this is a woman who advocates for violence. she tells people to go up and accost trump supporters. i don t believe this is what god wants exactly. i don t recall that exact scripture. i do read the bible to be honest with you. i must tell you, the claim that god is on their side and at the same time calling for at the very left, harassment of public figures is shocking. let s go to the next one. sound on tape. are you seriously considering throwing your hat in the ring for 2020? i m thinking about it and i ll make a determination sometime early next year. judge jeanine: that s former attorney general eric holder asking asked, you are seriously considering throwing your hat in the ring. this guy was held in contempt of congress for failure to hand over documents in the fast and furious scandal where our guns were sent to the mexican cartel. he quite literally had blood on his hands. brian terry was the agent who was killed in this scandal. he was held in contempt of congress. the on sitting cabinet member ever to be held in contempt of congress. i can hear the channel lock him up all over again in 2020. he has a right to think about running, but he shouldn t think about winning. judge jeanine: holder never recused himself on any of this stuff. so when congress hold him in contempt there is no one to refer it to in the department of justice. the left is always smarter. they hang on to the power why the right. sessions this a closet somewhere. let s talk about chelsea handler. is the man who vandalized trump s star on the hollywood walk of fame single? what say you, candace? this is not even that bizarre when it comes to chelsea handler. she advocates on behalf of ms-13, which is okay with molotov cocktails being thrown at the palestinian border. she has nothing to do at the end of the day but send wacky tweets. judge jeanine: finally as we go forward, closer to the 018 mid-terms, do you think this will get worse? what s going to get worse? everything? judge jeanine: the specific statements. it will keep getting worse. this is their strategy. i can t imagine it getting much wackier. but with maxine waters it only seems to get much wackier and chelsea handler it only seems to get much wackier. judge jeanine: candace owens, thanks so much. welcome! hi there. so, what do you look for in a vehicle? sleek designs. performance. dependability is top on my list. well then, here s some vehicles that deliver on that. woah! wow. oh jeez! that s our truck! it s our truck! and they re our cars! that s my chevy! chevy s the only brand to earn j.d. power dependability awards across cars, trucks and suvs three years in a row. awesome. i m proud. it s like a dynasty. it s impressive. is number one on the new york times bestseller list. number one on the washington post bestsellers list. i want to take a moment to think everyone was been so supportive, especially the folks who took the time to come to my book signings. take a look. i ve got pictures. here we are in the oval office with the president in washington in a book party there is there a huckabee sanders in washington, kelly in conway in dc and tom you know him from the show and jared kushner and donald trump junior in washington and wilbur ross, cabinet secretary in southampton. also, there is the mayor himself, mr. giuliani and former attorney general, also a federal judge and friends of mine from montréal and alvin and stacy who came from montréal and there is pamela, also held a party for me and there is the united states senator lindsey graham. eric trump junior along with lera trump in new york city and there i am at a book signing in new jersey were so many people waited in line for. there is a crowd when i first came in and in smithtown, long island look at the stuff they cook for me and 300 people in smithtown. there is a guy i owe it all to, my sir lancelot who sat with me as i wrote and wrote and wrote, i owe it all to him. if you don t have your copy you can go to barnes & noble or any bookstore and don t forget to follow me on twitter.
Former Westchester County, N.Y., D.A. Jeanine Pirro discusses the week s biggest legal stories. determine. you are right. we may never be able to determine that. but we have determined the fact that he tampered with the tape in the sense he abruptly mid-conversation turned it off. a guy that goes into a reporter and hides his thing and says i m not taping it and it s taping for two hours. that s someone who didn t intend to deceive as lanny davis falsely said. judge jeanine: in order for the government to admit something into court they have to show a continuing custody and no changes or additions or deletions have been made. if they can t prove there are no addition or changes, and we don t know where it s been, could that be the reason it was leaked to cnn? isn t that interesting? atr last week at this time jay sekulow and i were being throw us into a recession. the last thing we need. he would undermine the growth that we have had since the great recession. in the event donald wins i have no doubt in my mind the markets tank. his tax plan in combination with his refusal to reform entitlements and honestly address spending would balloon the deficit and the national debt. so even though donald trump is offered very few specific economic plans, what little he has said is enough to know he would be very bad for american workers and american families. judge jeanine: then was paul krugman, a nobel prize wing economist. he said the stock market will plummet and never recover from the election of donald trump. so we are very probably looking at a global respecial no end in sight. some are so blienltd by their hatred of donald trump, they forget decades of training in their own field. as america surges forward with more jobs than people to fill them, with african-american and hispanic unemployment the lowest in history and millions coming off food stamps because they want to work. the left, they rant and protest and create chaos. thp. they throw people out of restaurants and off television shows. they even go to church and say god sent them to destroy donald trump. the left doesn t care about our economic success. all they want to do is make noise. but it s nothing more than background noise. white noise. the truth? no one is paying attention to them. his numbers continue to increase and his popularity just keeps going up. after he met with putin and was accused of everything from collusion to treason, an offense punishable by death, his numbers continued to go up. when are they going to realize their yelling and screaming is nothing but a distraction, nobody cares. we care about food on the table, paying the rent, the mortgage, paying for kids clothing for school. but no, they want to talk about whores and porn stars or a lawyer they are squeezing so tight he ll confess to sinking the titanic. despite a media focused on a whack-a-mole russia collusion nonsense and the haters continue to hate, the president has thundered forward with his america first agenda. the 45th outsider president often work without the support of his own party has produced a gdp that no one thought possible, 4.1%. and we are on track to hit the highest average growth rate in over 13 years. what have you got to say to that, barack, hillary and all you geniuses? we are flying folks. this is the america donald trump had in mind when he asked us, what do you have to lose. that s my open. tell me what you think on my facebook, twitter and instagram hashtag judge jeanine. if you loved mire open you will love my new book. it s a new york times number one best seller. get your copy if you haven t already. here with reaction to my opening statement, hogan gidley. talk to me about the economy and my open. you are absolutely right, judge. remember when donald trump was elected as president of the united states, so many people said the economy wouldn t just tank, but it would never recover from what he would do to this economy. here we are with 3.5 million jobs created. regulations cut. we are open for business. this president mass gone on the global stage and said other countries have to pay their fair share in nato. in he said to our friends and allies, we are the piggy bank of the world and it stops today. i was in granite city, illinois when he gave that speech to the steel plant, u.s. steel. i watched the tears on the faces of grown men who told us they hadn t had a job in two years because barack obama told them those times of jobs were gone and would never come back. 1% gdp growth was the new normal the experts said. this president proved people wrong yet again. americans are back to work. it s an incredible time and it s due to this president s economic policy. judge jeanine: people who want the work, people who pay their taxes and follow all the rules, they are the ones who deserve the effort of this government. and speak of that, i want to talk about the ash lition of i.c.e. it seems the democrats pulled back on it because they were doing polls and most of of the american people are not in support of the abolition of i.c.e. we have ocasio-cortez who beat joe crowley in new york for the primary, now kirsten gillibrand, they are saying we have to abolish i.c.e. they are serious. it, incredible. anyone who wants to abolish i.c.e. either have no clue what i.c.e. does or they have decided to ignore the safety and security of their constituents. ms-13, the blood this city gang. they focus on smuggling, human trafficking, drugs. they are there to stop that. this president stands up for the hard working men and women who put their lives on the line every day and work for ice. democrats say we are going to stand with ms-13 whose motto is kill, rape and control. judge jeanine: the remains of american soldiers from the korean war are now coming back. how many administrations before donald trump tried to get read mains of american soldiers. there have been several. but this president actually delivered. they said these things he promised would never come fruition and here we are on the precipice of getting repatriated remains of those people in the military. i talked to some sphoaks folks who served and their surviving loved ones. it was a sense of pride, peace and closure they never would have had except for this president it s amazing. judge jeanine: it is amazing, and it s all about closure for these families. dan bongino and chris hahn standing by on the panel. bust more on tonight s breaking news you heard from rudy giuliani right here. congressman ron desantis weighs in on the trim the trump-cohen tape. you shouldn t be rushed into booking a hotel. with expedia s add-on advantage, booking a flight unlocks discounts on select hotels until the day you leave for your trip. add-on advantage. only when you book with expedia. add-on advantage. moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis was intense. my mom s pain from i wondered if she could do the stuff she does for us which is kinda, a lot. and if that pain could mean something worse. joint pain could mean joint damage. enbrel helps relieve joint pain, and helps stop further damage enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious,

progress. ask about enbrel. enbrel. fda approved for over 18 years. giuliani telling us explosive details how they believe someone played with the trump-cohen recording. joining us, congressman ron desantis who joins me now. first time i heard that tape and then there was a break at the point where it seemed to be in the president s favor and then it was garbled. i said to myself that would never be admissible. then it s sent over to cnn. they have been trying to get forensic analysts to see if it has been tampered with but they can t get the originality tape to see fit has been. this whole thing is very strange. $of the questions some of the questions involving the tape. lanny davis is a democrat, a big clintonista. i don t know how much credibility that evidence will have. judge jeanine: the damage is done. i didn t because of my background. but they leaked it. it s not even an issue if they can admit it at trial. if they want to impeach they will say you know about that tape when you and i both not wouldn t be admissible in court. i want to talk about my favorite guy, rod rosenstein who is basically running the department of justice after he convinced jeff sessions to go hide in the closet. you guys wanted to impeach him. and i understand there was a resolution to have the guy impeached based upon what facts? a number of things. he should have recused himself from this. he wrote the memo saying comey should be fired. and he signed one of the fisa extensions for carter page. those are critical issues with some of the information we are trying to get. he stonewalled to congress. they redacted material facts from documents provided to congress. this has not been adequate cooperation with the congress. these are important issues the american people have the right to. congress has limited tools. the problem with the impeachment is there weren t enough republican votes for it. i would like to see is proceed with contempt of congress. the problem is congress is gone for the august recess. so that is not going to be a viable vehicle until sometime in september. and by the time even if it did get off the ground, i think it may be too late. judge jeanine: paul ryan wouldn t get on board and as i understand it, he didn t want this impeachment to go through or contempt of congress. here is the bottom line. am i somewhat right about paul ryan and the leadership. you come on and all your friends come on and you are trying to do it. somebody is stopping you. who is stopping you? the leadership is opposed to my resolution. judge jeanine: paul ryan. say his name. the speaker was opposed to it. getting some of this stuff short of that. i think that can be done and i don t know why that hasn t happened. you have people like nunez pushing, but

radio host chris than. and dan bongino. how are you going to wiggle your way out of what the president said. 1.5 million fewer prime age americans were working when he came into office. i will give

we have been on an upward trend for years. that s just not true. he handed him a mess by any measure. i will give you this. i don t give any president good or bad credit for the economy. i give to it american entrepreneur. i think the president can do things to get the government out of the way. and i think that s what donald trump has done through the tax cuts and cleaning up the regulatory mess barack obama left us. barack obama was a disaster by any metric. labor force participation, wage growth. and i am surprised you didn t bring up. the employment cost index, donald trump his first year, bested barack obama s 8 years. there is a long way to go between here and the end. judge jeanine: i have an idea, rinse, here is the bottom line, i can t yell because i have a sore throat. my mother called me during the break and said jeanine, you have to have some water. if the unemployment is the lowest it s been ever for african-americans, for minorities, we have more jobs than people to fill them. you can talk gdp until the cows come home. that s what matters. a job and the ability to take care of your family. i want to talk about this tape. chris, do you want to answer? go ahead. there is a lot of good and there is a lot of caution. the deficit and the debt are growing dramatically. that s the trade deficit. the budget definite, those are different things. i give up. don t tell me on a saturday night i have to shave for this and i have to let him get away with this. for 8 years we had to deal with barack obama and record deficits. now i get, chris, i m with you. debt and deficits stink. point stipulated. but please spare us the nonsense about debt and deficit after 8 years of barack obama. he reduced the budget deficit every year. chris always has a scam. he came into office with the highest annual deficit in american history. if i owe $700,000 and make $50,000 a year and pay down $25,000. this is not an accomplishment. this is what obama did. he ran deficits every year. judge jeanine: all right, guys. thank you. now, how did a former attorney general make my list of the week s most outrageous statements? that s ahead. more on the trump-cohen tape. alan dershowitz joins me and you don t want to miss him. it s a pea-protein, gluten-free pâté.gman? (whistles) it s a burrito filled with plants pretending to be meat. here we see the artist making an attempt to bare his soul. it s just a gray dot. there are multiples on the table: one is cash, three are fha, one is va. so what can you do? she s saying a whole lotta people want to buy this house. but you got this! rocket mortgage by quicken loans makes the complex simple. understand the details and get approved in as few as 8 minutes by america s largest mortgage lender. what we are investigating, how did that happen. what did happen. what was eliminated. and you have to raise that question with every one of these tapes. how many of them did he play around with? judge jeanine: developing tonight. that was president trump s attorney rudy giuliani on justice discussing the breaking news on the trump-cohen tape. joining me with the new book the case against impeaching trump. harvard law professor alan dershowitz. yesterday you wrote an interesting piece in the hill on how an obstruction case against president trump should raise a flag for any civil libertarian irrespective of which side of the aisle they are on. tell me why. they shall trying to they are trying to stitch together an obstruction case on public tweets. people don t obstruct justice in public. if you are going to obstruct justice you are going to do it in private. the idea the special counsel is trying to put together, he knows he doesn t have the case. he s trying to put together a case based on tweets, public statements, presidential statements dwab presidential action. that s so dangerous to civil liberties. today it s being used against trump, tomorrow it will be used against democrats and tomorrow it will be used begins in the audience. any civil libertarian ought to be outraged that this special counsel is trying to cobble together a case against president trump based on his tweets. judge jeanine: would you agree when some of the judges were looking at the travel ban, they were looking outside the four corners of the ban itself. this is fundamental contract law. everything is weren t four corn of a contract or based on ways relevant to the specific issue. would you agree with that? if you don t, tell me. i completely agree. the majority of the supreme court said what the president said about the travel ban is not as important as what s in the words of the travel ban. you can t have a travel ban that would be constitutional if president obama issued it but unconstitutional if president trump issued it. judge jeanine: i want to talk about rudy giuliani. he talks about the tape, there is a break in the tape. it gets muddled. the first thing i thought is what s going on with this. what are your thoughts on it? 10 years ago i represented the former president of ukraine who was charged with a serious crime and it was based on a tape. we were able to get the tape and put it through forensic analysis and prove they switched words on the tape and made him say things he didn t say. i don t know that happened here. all i know is this tape must be subjected to forensic analysis. we must stretch the word to find out exactly what the president said, what the context was, and most of important why it ended at a particular point. was that a decision made by mr. co-on end it there? was it erased because he said things that were exculpatory. the tape does not contain any evidence of crimes. how do i know that? a former judge made a determination that this tape is covered by the lawyer-client privilege. and criminal discussions are not covered by the lawyer-client privilege. so we have a judicial determination that this tape does not contain elements of a crime. judge jeanine: you are talking about barbara jones the master on this who would not have handed over the tape if it were not covered by attorney-client privilege. absolutely right. nobody made that point and it s very important. there is a judicial determination it s not criminal. it s not a crime to seek advice from your lawyer as to how to deal with a complicated situation. every lawyer has had conversations like this with clients. in the end the client listens to you. but nobody should have heard this tape. judge jeanine: i agree, that s why you are a harvard professor. because you are so smart. she lots of those out she loves those outrageous statements. candace owens standing by live candace owens standing by live to look at the when i touch s it s so hard to believe but it s all coming back me. baby, baby, baby. all you can eat is back, baby. applebee s. 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. speak 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. church sermon that she was sent by god to stop him. take a listen to this. i was sent to [inaudible] turning point u.s.a. communications director candace owens joins me with that and much more. i keep hearing that the left is on god s side. isn t god on the right? i can t believe she said this. it s so bizarre. this is a woman who advocates for violence. she tells people to go up and accost trump supporters. i don t believe this is what god wants exactly. i don t recall that exact scripture. i do read the bible to be honest with you. i must tell you, the claim that god is on their side and at the same time calling for at the very left, harassment of public figures is shocking. let s go to the next one. sound on tape. are you seriously considering throwing your hat in the ring for 2020? i m thinking about it and i ll make a determination sometime early next year. judge jeanine: that s former attorney general eric holder asking asked, you are seriously considering throwing your hat in the ring. this guy was held in contempt of congress for failure to hand over documents in the fast and furious scandal where our guns were sent to the mexican cartel. he quite literally had blood on his hands. brian terry was the agent who was killed in this scandal. he was held in contempt of congress. the on sitting cabinet member ever to be held in contempt of congress. i can hear the channel lock him up all over again in 2020. he has a right to think about running, but he shouldn t think about winning. judge jeanine: holder never recused himself on any of this stuff. so when congress hold him in contempt there is no one to refer it to in the department of justice. the left is always smarter. they hang on to the power why the right. sessions this a closet somewhere. let s talk about chelsea handler. is the man who vandalized trump s star on the hollywood walk of fame single? what say you, candace? this is not even that bizarre when it comes to chelsea handler. she advocates on behalf of ms-13, which is okay with molotov cocktails being thrown at the palestinian border. she has nothing to do at the end of the day but send wacky tweets. judge jeanine: finally as we go forward, closer to the 018 mid-terms, do you think this will get worse? what s going to get worse? everything? judge jeanine: the specific statements. it will keep getting worse. this is their strategy. i can t imagine it getting much wackier. but with maxine waters it only seems to get much wackier and chelsea handler it only seems to get much wackier. judge jeanine: candace owens, paying too much for insurance you don t even understand? paying too much for insurance that isn t the right fit? well, esurance makes finding the right coverage easy. in fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of $412. that s auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. judge jeanine: finally tonight i m excited to say my new book is number one on the new york times bestseller list. number one on the washington post bestsellers list. i want to take a moment to think everyone was been so supportive, especially the folks who took the time to come to my book signings. take a look. i ve got pictures. here we are in the oval office with the president in washington in a book party there is there a huckabee sanders in washington, kelly in conway in dc and tom you know him from the show and jared kushner and donald trump junior in washington and wilbur ross, cabinet secretary in southampton. also, there is the mayor himself, mr. giuliani and former attorney general, also a federal judge and friends of mine from montréal and alvin and stacy who came from montréal and there is pamela, also held a party for me and there is the united states senator lindsey graham. eric trump junior along with lera trump in new york city and there i am at a book signing in new jersey were so many people waited in line for. there is a crowd when i first came in and in smithtown, long island look at the stuff they cook for me and 300 people in smithtown. there is a guy i owe it all to, my sir lancelot who sat with me as i wrote and wrote and wrote, i owe it all to him. if you don t have your copy you can go to barnes & noble or any bookstore and don t forget to follow me on twitter.
A look at the latest news and headlines of the day features discussions of politics and culture, analysis of political correctness in Campus Craziness and. be intimidated into accepting your fraudulent promise. it w often works and that s exactly why they do it but it only works when the rest of us play alongng with it so let s sp playing along with it. so, can you explain to me why if it s wrong to meet with russians in the hope of getting dirt on your political opponent, it s okay to pay for a national toor get dirt from russians about your political opponents which the dnc in the hillary campaign both did? it s very different for a campaign to spend money to do opposition research in a foreign country then for a foreign government like the russians to actually invest in disarming our election security to benefit one candidate, that s the big difference here. there s nothing wrong in paying if there is perjury, convicted for perjury and see if you can convict but let s stop pretending that meeting with a foreigner is a crime. tell me if this is a crime. here s a photograph, this is chuck schumer he s meeting with vladimir putin. i can t see it. tucker: it s your former boss. it s 2002. tucker: it was cool for him to meet. so there doing secret energy deals together. i m not saying that chuck schumer should be in prison for treason. i m raising the question. you re smart enough to know what that is. tucker: the rhetoric is so crazy it s hurting the country. what happens here is congress needs to have an investigation. if you want to have a hearing about what chuck was talking about, go right ahead and do that. we need to have a hearing right now about what happened in 2016 and what s happening right now. tucker: since we know for a fact the hillary clinton campaign paid a foreign national to get dirt from the russians, should we have a hearing on that? or is that outside of the scope because it wouldn t help your party? they ve already had numerous hearings aboutut the steele dossier butte they haven t had y hearings about what don jr. saih to his data. we both know he told his dad about his meeting. tucker: how do you know that? have you talked to them today? how often do you assert things as fact that you don t know is fact? you say we know something, is that a tactic that youow use? it is my strong opinion. the guy whose name is don jr. whose whole life is owed it to don sr. would tell don sr. don jr. thought he could do something for don, sr., he would probably tell him. tucker: based on your intimate knowledge. i m just trying to get to the bottom of it. people should stop pretending it s real because it s fake. as you would put it we knoww th that. it s good to see you. dan bongino former secret service agent joins us now. clintons through his lawyer, the other is connected to fusion gp fusion gps. they passed no information about actual russians or collusion. that is the crime of the century but actual russians who put together information according to their own dossier who passed it to the clinton team which wam used to spy on american citizen, nothing to see here. ignore that. but pay attention to this meeting. this is insane, i can t believe we are having this conversation. tucker: i should also note that we learned recently if you have any questions about what the government did, you are unpatriotic. why don t you take that home and meditate on it. your unpatriotic asking questions because it is wrong to question the official narrative of anything, got it? it is the very essence of the constitutional public to question authority. this whole case is based on a dossier here s michael cohen s tweet. he called it a life filled document. their star witness called it life filled, jim comey calls it salacious and unverified, the number two in the fbi said they wouldn t have had a case without it, the head of the division investigating the case said it lacked verification in the lead investigation texted his girlfriend if there is no there there. it sound like a great case, you knocked it out of the park. tucker: i can t imagine how you wind up with michael cohen as your personal lawyer. whoever is running the hr department, you would not hire michael cohen as your lawyer. great to see you. one of the biggest tech companies twitter was caused suppressing the accounts ofre politicians and they don t agree with. one of the lawmakers is taking action he ll explain what he s going to do until the day you leave for your trip. add-on advantage. only when you book with expedia. add-on advantage. i wok(harmonica interrupts)ld. .and told people about geico.

(harmonica interrupts) everytime. geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. to me, he s, phil micwell, dad.o golfer. so when his joint pain from psoriatic arthritis got really bad, it scared me. and what could that pain mean? joint pain could mean joint damage. enbrel helps relieve joint pain, helps stop irreversible joint damage, and helps skin get clearer. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you ve been someplace where fungal infections are common, or if you re prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. don t start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. since enbrel, dad s back to being dad. visit enbrel.com and use the joint damage simulator to see how your joint damage could be progressing. ask about enbrel. enbrel. fda approved for over 15 years. any paint can change the way a room looks. but only one can change how it feels. century, from benjamin moore, is the first-ever soft touch matte finish paint. its revolutionary texture unlocks 75 unprecedented colors, each with exquisite depth and richness. it s a difference you can see, touch, and feel. that s proudly particular. century. only at select local paint and hardware stores. intentional. he has filed a complaint against thee federal election commissio, he joins us now. thank you for coming on. it s a factual question, you re certain this happen to you and it was intentional. i m certain there were only four members of congress who had their voices suppressed on twitter. that would be one hell of a coincidence. if people were sending conservative message they got caught in twitter s trap. it givesau advantages to our political opponents and gives access to the platform we don t have. if it were a billboard company and they gave democrats access to their billboards and not republicans, that would be an illegal corporate donation to the campaigns of democrats. instead of billboards it s the auto fill and function as part of the search feature that wasn t available to me, devin nunes, mark meadows, and jim jordan and it s available to democrats. tucker: you believe the fac can remedy this? they can institute finds just like they can institute finds an punishment against any company that illegally makes a corporate donation to a political campaig campaign. here the corporate donation is allowing democrats and people running against me to have access to elements of the search feature that i didn t have access to. why? twitter has said it s my behavior that resulted in this, i don t know what behavior that is. are we going to trust tech companies to be able to adjust to decide with no transparency what behavior limits someone s ability to amplify their message? that sounds like the tear in a series you did a couple months ago is coming to life before our very eyes. tucker: twitter is a fairly small player in this world as a failing company, google dominates all of tech and it s the portal through which all of human information flows. if google were to hold things back or put her thumb on the scale in any way they would have a huge effect in our society. congress exists to make sure the public interest is represented but i ve never heard of a member of congress say were going to get to the bonhomme best, will break up google, fulfill our oversight rule here, why not? w too many members of congres don t understand the gravity of the issue. were the ones who have the targets drawn on our foreheads. you will see more engagement coming forward. aon reasonable libertarian might ask why shouldn t i just leave twitter? it s important to recognize twitter and other social media companies use the federal government to get rid of lawsuits that they don t want to have to defend against and they requiresvision that them to hold themselves out as a neutral public forum. twitter and facebook can t say on one hand we are neutral and we shouldn t have to respond to lawsuits and on the other hand n tell me and other outspoken conservatives that our behavior results in suppression on their platform, they can t have it both ways. tucker: google has a monopoly as does youtube. they routinely suppress political views they don t agree with and congress does nothing about it. congressman, thank you it s great to seeno you. up next, the southern poverty law center is a sham group dedicated to shaming enemies of the left. the fbi is collaborating with them. a story we have broken, we will tell you what we found next. 150 when you purchase select in stock gear. plus free seminars and giveaways. bass pro shops and cabela s- your adventure starts here. when you barely clip a tpassing car. minor accident - no big deal, right? wrong. your insurance company is gonna raise your rate after the other car got a scratch so small you coulda fixed it with a pen. maybe you should take that pen and use it to sign up with a different insurance company. for drivers with accident forgiveness liberty mutual won t raise their rates because of their first accident. liberty mutual insurance. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty better things than rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist move to another treatment, ask if xeljanz xr is right for you. xeljanz xr is a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough it can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don t start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts, and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. don t let another morning go by without talking to your rheumatologist about xeljanz xr. tucker: you know if tucker: as you already know, the southern poverty law center is an entirely large lint enterprise, the organization has nothing to do with south or with poverty, it s a left-wing political group that uses hate crime designations to target ideological enemies and crush people. in 2012, it inspired a shooting attack on the family research council by labeling the christian organization a hate group. just last month, they paid $3.3 million for falsely calling the quillian foundation anti-muslim extremists. theyon are utterly reckless and totally dishonest. with that in mind it was shocking to discover that the fbi has a long history of collaborating with the southern poverty law center. in 2009, they called the splc a well-known established and credible organization that monitors domestic terrorism in the u.s. the splc repeatedly has been allowed to brief fbi personnel on terror threats to this country. disturbingly, this relationship is ongoing despite multiple requests from this program, the fbi has refused to describe the extent of its collaboration, we ve asked repeatedly or to explain why it continues to work with a group like that. instead we ve received mindless boilerplate statements likeik ts one. the fbi has engaged with various organizations, such outreach is a critical component of the fbi information, and we welcome we evaluate our relationships to ensure appropriateness of any interaction. we can report tonight that congressman matt gates of florida has sent a letter asking them to explain their relationship which is obviously very troubling to put it mildly. tonight the doj give us another statement. the attorney general has directed the fbi to reevaluate their relationships with groups like this to ensure the fbi doesn t partner with any group that discriminates. as the splc certainly does. the founder of quillian just received the settlement after they labeled him as an extremist, he is the author of a tremendous book called radical. he joins us tonight. thanks for cominghe on. it was partly from watching what they did to you that had us asking the question to what extent are they involved with the federal government? we discovered this. tell our viewers your experience with the splc. it s curious and fascinating at the same time because i have been born and raised a muslim, i spent my teenage years with an islamist organization seeking to enforce sharia law in muslim majority society, i got radicalized. i ended up as a political prisoner. it was in jail that i reformed my views and came out bowing to challenge islamist extremists and founded coolio quillian in. the splc deemed it anti-muslim extremists and the sheer oddity of placing a muslim on a list of anti-muslim extremists is what led me to say i need justice in this case, my entire life has been defined by my struggle and i got it wrong initially i ve been open about that in my book, my struggle s to find a place fr muslims in the west that is at home with the west. to undermine my entire life s work by placing me on the list of anti-muslim extremists i found a step too far. that s why i went to lawyers and got advice and that s why we took the action we did. tucker: as someone who has interviewed scores of people like you, i think you are one of the most restrained and thoughtful and reasonable, it s very odd and dishonest. what effect does it have on you? it s got to hurt your foundatio foundation. head places targets on the head. it s already hard enough for most of reformers to speak out against our communities, people who do are targeted and killed. many of them were knocked off and fascinated by jihadists because they were deemed to be blasphemous and heretical. her close c friend a film direcr was murdered on the streets of amsterdam and a list was stabbed into his body ended named her as being next, that s what were up against here. the first thing it did is it placed me in grave danger, it laced her in grave danger because she was also named on this list. it also have material consequences. the reason they produce these lists is to convince media and philanthropists and foundations not to give grants to these sorts of people in these organizations and it did have those kinds of material. consequences. that s why we couldn t just lie back and take this at face value as it was, we had to take actio action. tucker: the fact that our fbi is collaborating with this discredited and reckless is really scary, thank you for your account. there was a solid economic news today as the commerce department estimated a robust 4.1 gdp annual growth rate in the second quarter of the year, that s the biggest single quarter again in four years. america needs good economic growth to help solve the plight of young people who are suffering under much greater debt burdens than their parents were at their age. one of the reasons so many of them call themselves shoulder domestic socialists. what are they get in exchange? not much. heather hawkins is chief macro strategist, we talked to her about the growing debt crisis, here s the conversation. what are the effects of this on the country? one of the things it s doing, and the housing market it s delaying the purchase of the first home an average of seven years. that affects not just the person buying the home but it affects all of the economy because that person isn t getting those additional seven years of wealth accumulation, as their house appreciates in value. it affects the people selling their homes because you re removing a group of buyers from the equation because they have so much death, they can t afford to be buying a home. tucker: $1.5 trillion is almost too big a number to put into any kind of context. there are very few countries in the world with a gdp bigger than that. what would happen if borrowers started to default on those loans? we take it in context, it s a truly astounding number. the economy per year generates about 18 trillion, now 1.5 trillion is bigger than everything we owe on cars, all of the car loans are about 1.1 trillion,ar credit card debt is less than 1 trillion. these guys start to default, who was going to be left holding the bag?g? one of the big challenges is you can t actually get through bankruptcy, you can t remove this debt so what are you going to do? you re not going to pay your credit card bill, you re not going to pay your mortgage are not going to payrd your home lon because you don t have a choice even when you go to bankruptcy to not pay your student debt. tucker: i don t understand how that works. i m not advocating people going bankrupt but i do wonder why student loan debt is exempted from normal bankruptcy protections, how didy that happ happen? you could extinguish it up until 1995 when congress tightened it up making it all but impossible. they did exclude their own offspring. if you are the child of a member of congress you can t extinguish your student loan by going to bankruptcy court. tucker: for real? that s unbelievable. was this a lobbying operation were student loan lenders decided why would we want to face the risk of not getting our money back? about who the student loan lender is it s the federal government, it s all but run most other lending out of the market, you can t compete with the federal government. you see what the result of that is. it s like what we saw with subprime housing. with subprime housing, what you saw the government deciding that more and more people ought to own homes so they made it easier and easier to borrow money, what did that do? it made the housing market shoot for the moon because more people could buy homes. they ve done the same thing here with education, more and more people to get education which is ultimately good but they way they went about doing that is to make loans more accessible just like l we did with homes. we are making loans more accessible and what happened? you are saying the price of that education has skyrocketed. for i example, if you look from 1985 to today, the cost of education has gone up four times that inflation in general. it s not like wages have been keeping up with that. in 1971, the cost of a one year of education cost a little less than half of what the average guy can make in a year. today it s shy of two years worth. tucker: meanwhile the quality of college education has plummeted, the meaning of a degree has evaporated. this is a scam and i appreciate you calling attention to our viewers. one university is cracking down on the phrase as you know. it is indeed offensive to students, you may be confused but liberals understand why that s exactly a good idea, will tell you why next. when does it end?! with the capital one quicksilver® card, you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. it s like a cash back oasis. what s in your wallet? it s a high-tech sleep revolution. the sleep number 360 smart bed intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts. so you wake up ready to run the world. the new sleep number 360 smart bed, from $999. terrain of modern progressive thought. thanks a lot for coming on. i m often confused by these segments but this one may be more than most because. i thougt prefacing a sentence would be a self-esteem booster, you re suggesting to the person you already know this. you re telling me it s bad for self-esteem? your causing self-doubt because i don t know, i may not know. therefore i have self-doubt and would not do as well as other students who may know. i would. feel another student know something i don t know and the diversity department has found that students that do not know find this phrase to be offensive and a professor talking down to a student and they don t do as well in their classes. it s a phrase that specifically causes self-doubt. tucker: as you know, the research has shown there is a direct connection between low self-esteem, people feel inadequate, work harder to impress, we should inculcate self-doubt and students. as an also a reflection of reality? if you already knew, what are you doing inn college? students are ignorant, that s why they are in school to become learned. you re using unnecessary words. it may be why style manuals would say you shouldn t use unnecessary words are unnecessary phrases to make your point. using as you know is unnecessary. you re not communicating properly with your audience.er it s not needed and they are urging the professors to t use this this phrase, it s not necessary. tucker: are not urging it because i have a commitment to clear language, people who run humanities departments, can barely speak english. this is a diversity department that surging the spirit of tucker: than everything i said times five it s even more true. don t you want to patronize her students? don t you want to make them feel they know nothing? you want to highlight their ignorance because it will inculcate in them a thirst for hunger and knowledge. it s doing the opposite, the diversity department students are saying it s causing self-doubt. we re not supposed to patronize the students, were supposed to fill them with confidence and they will be wonderful leaders in the future and we want a world like that. tucker: we have a lot of confidence students i interviewed them allhe the tim. we have too many confident students. if you know nothing and most students know nothing, you should be deeply insecure and a silent as you learn. if a student iss so undone by having a professor use the phrase as you know, isn t that students are not really for college? shown to be selling aluminum siding or doing something useful? you re not really ready for college ifkn it undoes you. isn t it wonderful that the student is speaking up and sank to the professor you re using terms that are really not making sense.en if they are speaking down to us and as the audience, this communicator is not making sens sense. they don t feel confident and they are speaking up and telling this university, we feel more confident if this phrase would be eliminated. they are urging thel professors to get with the program, get with this new era that we are living in, that the students are diverse. tucker: join the revolution eaten. very quickly, do you personally really want to a live in a world where college students are empowered to talk a lot? honestly. to talk a lot? to speak up? yeah. tucker: to speak up, be heard, whatever the, description of it, do you want to live in that world? i want to live in a better world, i like the world that changes with the times. tucker: i know you do, that s why we love you. that s why we are having you back on monday for a segment that s even more confusing than this one and i can t wait for that. thanks very much. the i fbi isn t supposed to be protecting americans from crime, our next guest says they may be a threat to you and me, and joined us after the break my father passed this truck down to me, taken with methotrexate or similar medicines, it can reduce joint pain, swelling, and significantly improve physical function. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma, and other cancers have happened. don t start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts, and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. xeljanz xr can reduce the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. don t let another morning go by without talking to your rheumatologist about xeljanz xr. tucker: we have a public servicece announcement for you e didn t expect to be bringing you this but our control room team minutes ago spotted the creepy porn lawyer in his natural habitat on cnn. they couldn t hear what he was saying but it hurt our feelings a little bit. this is the fifth or sixth other tv network he has done in recent days we ve invited him repeatedly onto this show and he has repeatedly turned us down. were going to ask him one more time and we know that he is watching. you always have a home on this 8:00 p.m. program, any time we will clear the decks for you, hope to see you soon. the fbi has been entrusted with enormous power, he can break down your front door and put you in jail. they are supposed to use these powers to protect americans and they do to some extent. increasingly we ve seen instances of the fbi abusing its power and depriving citizens of their civil liberties. we have an obligation to speak out against that. the most recent case is that of carter page who was labeled a foreign agent and despite on for more than a year by the obama administration based on the assertions in the steele dossier. assertions which the fbi never bothered to verify. what truly make up this? mark penn was an advisor to bill clinton he joins us tonight, thank you for coming o on. i ve been struck not by the fact that this happened but the reaction to it. you have a guy who was a naval officer, an annapolis graduate he s never been charged with anything and he was spied on for a year. the normal course of civil libertarians have been silent. people just use talking points that they had before you could actually read the warrant. any fair-minded person comes away with the conclusion that there was no probable cause. they scared a bunch of judges with tense stories about potential russia collusion, the steeleot dossier, the yahoo stoy that was from it and even when he was fired and he was compensated he was on the payroll of the fbi, the dnc, and the hillary clinton campaign at thenc same time even when tht was discovered they continued to use this information indicating they had nothing t else. the idea that the government can spy on political campaigns with no evidence is frightening and needs to be corrected with legislation immediately. tucker:, the precedent this sets, we are all living in this moment and it s hard for us to see a week ahead. you ve been in the white house and political campaigns. there will be another administration and one after that. what does this mean for them? will any president ever be able to trust theim fbi isn t spyingn him or his campaign? i saw in 1998 working with president clinton, the stress and strain on the president, the white house, the decisions that incur with these investigations. you can see the kind of stress and strain everyone who participated in the campaign, or an associate of donald trump is being shaken down, investigated, this kind of thing is not compatible with an open democracy where we decide things by elections. we ve got to make changes because you re going to be afraid about the fbi, the cia all of the intelligence agencies. what they can be doing and not only when you re the president but when you re running a campaign against the president. what sets this country apart its peaceful transition of government. tucker: we are playing with heavy-duty things. do you think in the next year or two there is a legislative answer that can restore confidence in these agencies? an ombudsman has to be appointed, i think for any warrants that involve americans and particularly americans in political campaigns, special judges and procedure so that the highest the bar is established and it s unbelievable we haven t already moved to do that. tucker: thank you very much much. maxine waters back in the news, especially amazing this time. don t go away. it s easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that s why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. a hotel can make or break a trip. and at expedia, we don t think you should be rushed into booking one. that s why we created expedia s add-on advantage. now after booking your flight, you unlock discounts on select hotels right until the day you leave. add-on advantage. discounted hotel rates when you add on to your trip. only when you book with expedia. right. how does she know that? because god told her so. . [ inaudible ] [ inaudible ] tucker: there you have it. maxine waters isn t really a political figure anymore. she is a theologian and that s why she fits in with the modern left which is a religious sect. the point is not to convince voters. it s to convert heretics and burn witches. progressives know before you utter a single word they are virtuous and you are sinful. in some ways it s the story of
A morning news show that includes interviews, features and banter among hosts. all the way to the very end. he did one at midnight in michigan or wisconsin, i can t remember which state, pushing all the way through. he says he s going to campaign for the gop six or seven days a week ahead of the midterms all the way to the finish line. listen to the president. i am going to work very hard. i ll go six or seven days a week when we re 60 days out and i ll be campaigning for all of these great people that do have a difficult race. and we think we re going to bring them over the line. and you ve seen a series of tweets recently in contested primaries where they re putting their finger on the sail saying this sour guy or gal who can win in november. putting more than a finger. look at the two significant races we talked about one was martha robie in alabama, she was kricritical of president trump n 2016. and now the president weighing in, game changer in alabama. and in georgia you ve got brian kemp weighing out kaig. they realize if they move closer to the president, a lot of people are liking his policies and things happening in the country. this is a poll that shows among likely gop voters whose views are closer to your own, 64% of the voters say it s president trump. down to 20% who say the average republican in congress. so if you re looking at those numbers running as a republican for congress or for the senate, you probably want to associate yourself a lot depends on where you live and what the politics are. siding with the president on some of these issues might benefit you. this is not the first poll that identified republicans siding with president trump. there was one a few weeks august that said most republicans now are on team trump and it s a wake-up call. if you re a candidate out there on the fence, you may want to consider supporting even more aggressively we ve got chris stirewalt in d.c. a little later in the show. i bet he ll have something to say about this. president trump, but accounts, i think, has pretty much taken over the party and is leading it. 88% to 90% support. if you re running for office and running away from this president in the republican primary, you re in a bad bad spot. that poll was about our average gop congress mapp within not your average gop senator is paul ryan. there s a funding bill coming up in september. the president laid down the gauntlet i want my wall in that bill. mitch mcconnell said a statement about funding of the wall. we funded planned parenthood, they ve funded sanctuary cities. are they going to fund the president s wall which he ran on. listen to mitch mcconnell. is the funding of the border wall going to wait until after the midterm elections? probably. that s something that we have a disagreement on. so homeland security won t get funded. probably not. you re not worrie worried aba government shutdown. not going to happen. president trump from may of 2018 said our border is a mess, immigration laws are a mess. we may have to close up our country to get that straight. he said multiple times a shutdown will happen if the border wall is not funded. you see president trump at 64%, average republican at 20% yet they keep saying we can t agree on the border wall, can t get the funding for it. we ve got billions of dollars for this and that w but we can t fund the border wall. the president would be wise to reiterate that he would shut it down if they don t give a border wall. i don t understand where the statement comes from. a little bit of context and that is mitch mcconnell successfully shep perked kneel divorcish through. there s a lot of talk about brett kavanaugh. you know trying to get things through. however, your point is that leaders in the republican party like paul ryan and mitch mcconnell have been not fully embracing it. and i think that s why you saw jim jordan jump in the race as possible speaker. and the timing is interesting. as you said, this is in the fall leading to the midterms. a lot depends on what the voters are wanting and what they re fighting for. immigration is going to be a huge top nick th topic in the m. you re going to see a lot of pressure on mitch mcconnell. voters aren t wanting more mitch. that s what they re not wanting more of iffy you re a republican, you want to see a reflection of that in congress. and if the ratio is going to change in the house or the senate, it might make the wall more difficult now might be your moment to push for it harder although the senate will see. that s a great point. in the democrats win. in the house. if they have a wave in the midterms, this might be the only choits. let us know, friends@foxnews.com. should they be bringing up the border ball this fall. some other headlines. president trump now declaring an emergency in the state of california as devastating wildfires claim five lives. the latest victims a great grandmother and two children. their home just one of the thousands found burned to the ground. new evacuations ordered overnight as the car fire exploding in size, now covering nearly 84,000-acres, only 5% contained at this point. with the supreme court nominee. and president trump is set to welcome the italian prime minister at the white house tomorrow. it is set to be one of our commander in chief s strongest relationships, strongest supporters in western europe. both leaders have similar views on the eu and immigration. president trump praising his italian counter part for trying to toughen the asylum migration policy. those are your headlines. those are significant meetings with kavanaugh because joe donnelly, joe manchin and heidi high camp, very very significant. they may have no choice but to support kavanaugh. remember when philadelphia s liberal mayor celebrated his sanctuary win? well now the city is try to block i.c.e. from doing its job. our next guest a philadelphia radio host and she says the move is all about getting votes. live next. don t ever dance like that. politico fact checks trump s gdp growth rate hitting him for saying this. this mayor s open defines against our law enforcement agencies. people who are simply carrying out their job according to the way the law is written, right? so specifically so i can understand, there is a system call p.a.r.s., the preliminary reporting system. when i.c.e. gets a detainer on someone who has illegally come into the country, they re able to cross-check with the system so they know who they re trying to get. so when people come illegally across the border, border patrol missing them, it s i.c.e. s job. and commit a crime, they go into this particular system. why has philadelphia chosen to block i.c.e. from this law enforcement tool? i they is the ultimate tool. why are they doing this? do they really care about these people? i mean, you know, do they just have bleeding haryth. hearts. as a member of the black community i m here to tell the hispanic community that these are the same tired and warn out initiatives that have wreaked havoc in the black community. they do not care about the hispanic community. the only thing they care about is sharing another loyal block of people. and this is the message that we need to start moving out there. philadelphia has a population of roughly 1.5 million people. the undocumented illegal aliens make up roughly 50,000. so that s just 3% of the population compared to 97% of the population. once again we have politicians trying to cuddle up to the needs of the minority by overlooking the majority. here s what i.c.e. had to say. they had i.c.e. is deeply disappointed with the city s decision despite the attention to obstruct i.c.e. s ability to arrest illegal ai aliens. but it appears to me it is going to be tough for these now maligned law enforcement officers. because they are working in already volatile communities. demonizing them does not help the particular communities that are already weak. a couple of weeks ago we so so many of our congres congressmene borders weeping, literally grown men weeping because they were distraught over what i.c.e. was doing. but these are the same people in the position to make the laws. if you don t like the laws i.c.e. is carrying out, change it. very quickly as it relates to philadelphia because we re almost out of time. are you getting the sense from your listeners that they re worried about safety and security? of course they re worried. we eat, we drink, we live in this area. we don t know for the majority who they are, where they re coming from or what s the intent of them being here. of course we re worried. while politicians are politicking, the rest of us are trying to make a living for our family. keep us posted on what is happening in the city of brotherly love. are you being followed by a team of uncover air officials? the trieking report ahead. democratic socialism surging in popularity thanks to politicians like cortez. who is going to pay for all of the free stuff? our panel of immigrants fled their country for capitalism in america. they re here to sound off. are you ready to take your wifi to the next level?

no. but the most common words they use when they talk about socialism is providing free things to the population. we do that with the present system, socialism becomes a big prison system at the end where we provide free services to people but at the end the population lugeses its freedom and opportunity to prosper. we are promoting the exact same thing with people are promised free things. it sound good when you tell them we re going to take someone else s property and give tight others who didn t work for it. it s enticing when people are promised that you don t have to do anything to get certain services or certain things that you don t have. but that doesn t work at the end. if that is the case, we would see people leaving capitalist countries and flee to socialist countries. but we see the opposite every single day where people are fleeing communist and socialist countries open moving to the west. that s a great point. socialism sounds great if you don t understand history. having come before russia was the soviet union. that was the darling of the left. in the left held up soviet union as a mood l of socialism and communism. why were they wrong then and wrong today? the soviet union got a lot wrong because they misled americans in a lot of way. the constitution in 1977 mentions the word democratic at least seven times, right, and you see the same thing happen with bernie sanders and cortez today. i want to underscore that a lot of young people in america do like socialism but it s not because they understand it, it s presented as something that sounds nice by li liberal professors all around the country. no mention to have 1400 russians who were enslaved in the system just a few short decades ago. when this sort of thing happens on college campuses all over the country, it s easy to see how an entire generation of americans do not comprehend the implications of socialism. if you ve lived here and you ve been a part of the bounty that is american capitalism and free markets, sometimes it s easy to not appreciate where it came from. and then some professor tells you can get free stuff and suddenly you re a socialist. how do you undo that. right. you have to remember what lennon said. the goal of socialism is communism. and this is what people do not know. and our kids are now being taught in colleges is that the goal of socialism is communism. and if they come from a country that it s free, like so many, so many are, so many illegal immigrants come from different countries that we have the benefit of comin coming from nicaragua. nicaragua is having a revolution right now and it s a tragic, tragic situation when you have socialism, communism, you can never get rid of it. now this revolution, only one side is armed and the other side is disarmed. and over 350 students have been killed just for protesting. wow. now peter. talk about losing freedom. it s a great point. so bernie sanders who ran as a democratic socialism famously honeymooned in the soviet union. is that where they would like to go if they could be open about they beliefs? yes. they re being dishonest with the american people. they re not hiding the fact that they would love to turn the united states of america into a socialist society where they would have full command and control over the pop las vegas, the means of production and make the people dependent on the government. the goal of socialism is dependency. because when people become dependent on the government, they re completely controlled by the government. the biggest fear that the socialists have is prosperity, liberty and freedom. when people prosper through that, the parties become obsolete. they want control over the population. it is individualism versus collectivism. i have a feeling we re going to have you back because this is a topic that will come back and all three of you have a fantastic point of view. thank you for your time. appreciate it all right. politifact fact checks president trump s 4.1% gdp growth hitting him for saying this. the united states economy grew at the amazing rate of 4.1%. according to politifact, it s strong but not amazing. strong is the right word. can t use amazing. we ll bring it to you plus, talk about a trump bump. a baby boom could be on the way because of the president. we ll bring it to you. chicken?! chicken. chicken! that s right, candace new chicken creations from starkist. buffalo style chicken in a pouch bold choice, charlie! just tear, eat. mmmmm. and go! try all of my chicken creations! chicken! boston red sox game. instead, neil diamond surprising a team of colorado firefighting. swinging his hit song sweet caroline. neil diamond lives in that area. how cool of him just to show up. if you ve never been to fenway, they sing this every seven inning. i love that. here s a story that we re talking about this morning. i don t know if you ve heard about it but when you near the news industry you like to fact check and make sure what you re talking about is backed up with truth and fact. there s a place called politifact and we ve gone there for years. you can find what politicians and people have said and see if it s backed up with truth. that s correct. many campaign seasons, you know, politifact has been around for a while, run by facts out of tampa bay, and they fact check what politicians say. so politifact has a particularly interesting one today. oh,man. you remember president trump talked about the 4.1% gdp growth. he called it amazing. listen to what he said. i am thrilled to announce that in the second quarter of this year the united states economy grow at the amazing rate of 4.1%. so he called it amazing, right, from the podium. a word he uses all of the time, by the way. politifact says no, no, strong but not amazing. that s really on their website. fact chected of the president talking about the. i get fact checking. if this is where we are in the country, we re doing pretty well when it comes to the economy. if we re going to debate strong or amazing, i ll take both. trump would say amazing, pence would say strong. outside of the box is mazing, inside the box says strong. politifact, they say that trump is correct about the 4.1% growth rate, which is indisputable since the gov releasegovernment released it. it s the highest since the third quarter of 2013 but most economists would not use the word amazing to describe it. of course economists don t use the word amazing ever. that s why thigh ear economists. but they said by the way that we weren t going to get to 4.1, as we pointed out yesterday, that pigs wouldn t fly in the face of that. it goes on. this is not the only thing they fact checked. this is also what the president had to say about the economy. we ve accomplished an economic turn around of historic proportions. hi historic turn around. their politifact was obama did well too. that s not a fact check. so he says we got a historic turn around which is true. obama never cracked annual 3% gdb growth ever. and the only president over two terms not to do that. but when president trump turns around, politifact says obama did well too. they don t like the fact he said economic turn around. pointing out that there s obama hype of individual gdp quarters that trump has not yet reached. he says 4.6% twice and 5.2% once, on two other occasions obama oversaw 3.9% growth. the real question being whether or not this is sustainable. as you know, we pointed out, we re 100 days today from the midterms and the third quarter is going to end just days before the election, but towards the end of october. we ll say. can they fact check if it s sustainable or not? well we don t know. good question. here s am also why it matter. facebook has chosen politifact to be the arbiter of what s fact news or not fake news. so if politifact has its own bias, the fact checkers saying obama did well too, how can you trust what moib says is fair and balanced. the gate keepers are never actually totally fair. there s always a bias from an individual, yet we re told that it s all totally. fact check the fact checkers. maybe i ll be the fact check fact checker. that could be my next job. i don t think you ll be great at that job. you re a little too 0 pin nateed. if you won powerball and only won 23 million, is that not amazing than if you played and won 230 million?

disbli expect pete to do that for me. give me the next hour. let me watch a little more closely and i ll fact check the weather. thank you, adam. remember this violence against trump supporters? now a big win for the trump supporters. the rnc chairwomanned sued and she joins us next. a new poll says that men are terrible about remembering their partner s birthday. we re bringing in a memory expert to help out our very own pete angriff. >and griff. it won t work. the move comes after the community leaders complained about loitering while protesting the business renewal to sell beer and wine. remember those riots aimed at trump supporters back in 2016. supporters were assaulted, they were spit on, egged. that was in san jose california. so our next guest, an rnc committee woman is suing the city and now the court of appeals is siding with her case. here with the latest is that committee woman who says the city s leadership quote intended for this to happen. i know it has been a long year and a half for you. thank you for being with us this morning. my pleasure. happy to be here. take our viewers back. this was june 2016. a few months before the 2016 election. and this was obviously a rally for trump supporters. tell people what happened after that. sure. well we know that california is the epicenter of the se sis tensresistancebut we didn t expo happen. on june 2nd before president trump came the nominee. it was a great event. as we were leaving is when it became ugly. the police directed all of the people leaving the event into an ongoing riot that was occurring with violent protesters armed with sticks and, you know, other implements. and several of my clients were hit with bags of rocks, sucker punched were chased, had their clothes torn off, spit at, had eggs thrown at them. the class representatives range from young teens up to ladies in their 70s. it was an outrageous scene there that day and the police stood there and did nothing after barring the exits to safety. under ninth circuit law there s an endanger doctrine. if you put people in danger, then the government is responsible for that. you re sayin saying that this all the way to the top. this was a leadership problem. what do you mean by that? the city intended for this to happen. well, the mayor of san jose tweeted that trump was responsible for this violence, which is outrageous. and kind of the city officials made clear this wasn t a welcome event there. and the fact that you had 250 armed police forcing people into the most dangerous way to tbet out ogetout of the event and stg watching, the ninth circuit agreed with me if the facts alleged are true, and there are thousands of reports on youtube that you can see it is true, that is unconstitutional, a violation of process. we hope to get recomp pence for a whole class of people there that day. this is a statement coming from the san jose city attorney. they say we think in the end the officers didn t do anything wrong and they did everything they could to try to protect public safety. the police officers were caught between the rock and a hard place. where does this go? it sounds like this could end up at the supreme court at the end of this. yes. well right now first of all i completely disagree with that. anybody who watches the video will see that the police did absolutely nothing other than put citizens into harm s way. they would not let us go on a safe route. so now the city is claiming they re not good losers here. they re claiming they re going to appeal to the full ninth circuit and take tight the supreme court if necessary. they renews to take responsibility for what happened to these people. people are traumatized two years later. some people left the state of california as a result of the event. really unfortunate. could be a long road ahead. thank you for being with us this morning. my pleasure. we ve got alan dershowitz and a few poll showing that men are really terrible at remembering their partner s birthday. we re bring in a memory expert to help pete and griff, every man who forgets his partner s birthday, anniversary, you name it. you don t want to miss it. up after this. the miles and the. he s gonna get mine -but i m gonna get a new one. -oh yeah when it s time for your old chevy truck to become their new chevy truck, there s truck month. get 18% of msrp cash back on all silverado 1500 crew cab lt pickups when you finance with gm financial. that s $9,000 on this silverado. plus, during truck month make no monthly payments for 90 days. we brought in a memory expert to help griff and pete. ron white was on fox and friends on independence day. he memorized the name and rank of every soldier who died in afghanistan. he traveled the country writing their names on the wall you see there. that navy veteran and two-time memory champion ron white is back with us now. ron, thank you. good morning. thank you. a little different occasion today. happy to be here. an important one still. entirely intimidated here because as i have admitted on the air, i forget birthdays, anniversaries. why is it men are worse? well, you know, i think there s three reasons that we don t remember birthdays. and the first reason is everybody, men and women, we remember what s important to us. oh. and i don t. i agree 100 prts. that is not to say that our wives or spouses or girlfriends birthdays aren t important to us. but u think maybe we don t understand how important it is to them. a great point. if we don t understand the importance of it, maybe it s another day. what can men do to be better at memorizing? well you have it s not relatable to us. or to the men who aren t remembers, maybe it s not relatable. apple stock is $190, that s relatable to us. we need to make march 9th or april 1st or september 22nd relatable to us. ron, we re just out of time here but we will remember these and practice as hard as we can. and your web side is memoryiseasy.com. look that website up, give it a shot. i m going to. thanks, ron. ocuvite helps replenish nutrients your eyes can lose as you age. what it s like living in a socialist regime. a lot of young people in america like socialism but it s not because they understand it, it s being presented to them by liberal professors all over the country. wow, that is adam. he is out there. today is national chicken wing day. and apparently later this hour we re going to have a chicken wing eating contest. you re welcome to join but right now it s me, griff and adam. competing with you three, i don t have a shot. i m wearing a white shirt. if we get after it, it could be a dirty show for the next couple or hours. i ll never forget that july 29th is national wing day. i love wings. we just had the memory expert ron white on. 7/29 is wings. if i remember quickly last time you went up against adam, you lost pretty badly. i beat him in a pushup. no, you lost. there was a remash which i won on a technicality. you have a shot today to redeem yourself. every day is a shot at redemption. that s why we come to the show every day. who said it one day. my standard, quicker than i could lower them. i stole that from a comedian. please do. i was violating my standards quicker than i was lowering them. we all get redemption. adam i m coming for you and you, griff. we want to bring in alan dershowitz, author of the case against impreaching president it trump. the breaking news coming out overnight rudy gillia giuliani g that the experts sa tape was al. here s what he s saying. what did happen, what was eliminated and then you ve got to raise the question with every one of the tapes. how many of them did he play around with. look, we don t know what actually happened here. none of us do. but how are you assessing this? how might this impact all of this? well, several years ago i represented the president of the ukraine who was being prosecuted based on a tape recording. and we took the tape recording and had it analyzed by experts and discovered that in fact it had been tampered with, words had been shifted around to make him say things he didn t say and he was acquitted. i think any good lawyer always wants to have a forensic examination of the tape. particularly a tape that ends so abruptly. was it erased? was it stopped at a point in time in order to avoid exculpatory statements from being made. can we stretch the words to hear clearly whether the statements involve yes cash or no cash. this is typical of what a good lawyer will do when a case is based on a tape against his client. so rudy giuliani is doing the right thing. i don t think we know enough to come to any conclusions yet. so walking this out a little bit, is there any implication that laws were broken, campaign finance violations, broken where do you see this if you walk it all the way out? well, let s remember something that people have never focused on. that is judge ki wood is presidg over the matter. appointed a former judge to assess whether this tape was covered by lawyer-client privilege. she concluded that it was covered by lawyer-client privilege which means she concluded it was not a criminal act. lawyer-client privilege doesn t cover fraud, crime. it s called the fraud crime exception. so we have a judicial determination by a neutral observer that this tape does not constitute crime. so i think that s a very positive development for ghouliagiuliani and the trump t. if you listen to democrats, specifically the democrat out of washington, a member of the house intel committee, they say and other networks say time and time again, the walls are closing in on trump over this tape and maybe others. listen to what they re saying. so i think the walls are closing in. this is donald trump s worst nightmare because it s not just this revelation or this allegation because it s yet to be corroborated. but it s the fact that there are 99 tapes. we re now beginning to inch into the territory of conspiracy. what s the difference? well collusion isn t a federal crime. as you said, collusion not a federal crime. they say inching into the territory of conspiracy. what do you say to that? a year ago people were saying collusion is a crime. a year ago saying obstruction of justice could be fired based on the firing of cuomo. and now my views are mainstream. collusion is not a crime. i don t see how you can be charging a conspiracy based on collusion. conspiracy requires an explicit agreement knowingly tweem people to commit a specific crime. i just don t see that happening. look, there are these tapes out there. who know what is the tapes say. the tapes apparently do not involve conversations with president trump. and so the two questions are, are they hearsay and are theyed admissible or do they involve lawyer-client communications. remember that lawyer-client communications can involve conversations between a lawyer and someone else, not the client. for example another lawyer or a work product that involved investigations that that lawyer is doing. so we re very far from seeing walls closing in based on the fact that we know there are the tapes but we don t know their content, we don t know with whom they were involving. are you worried ac about the trump tower meeting that michael cohen said he was in the room with the president when he heard about this infamous meeting at trump tower between don jr. and the russians? you know, this was the president s attorney who once said he would take a bullet for donald trump. obviously he s fighting for his own life. are you concerned with the legality of that. because don jr. testified under oath in congress that his dad didn t know about this. how serious is that? how concerned should they be? first of all, i don t worry or be concerned because i m not president trump s lawyer. i m an objective deserver trying to defend the civil liberties of all americans and the chips will fall where they may. but i think there are problems with the cohen testimony. it seems that he says there were other people in the room. let s see if there were. if there were no other people, hen it becomes a credibility issue. there are issues involving lawyer-client privilege. did he learn that from his client? we don t know enough to assess that. but right now if that s all cohen has to offer, i doubt he ll get immunity based on that. and if they have the tapes, they don t really need him. so if i were cohen s lawyer, i would be asking myself, had he given them enough to get immunity. and the worry then is that he will not only sing, not him particularly, but any person squeezed this way sing but they compose. they get the story better because they know the better the deal were the better the story, the better the deal. the worry is that squeezed witnesses will not only sing but comcompose. they s a concerthat s a concernd have. let me get your thoughts on one other story. that is just before the house went on recess 1 republicans filed impeachment articles against deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. you said you believe that was perhaps not the right move. what are your thoughts and where do they go now? well, if you re a supporter of donald trump, that s the worst move you can make. but what you re saying is you can impeach somebody without committing any crime. if the dps gain criminal of the house and try to impeach trump not based on a time, i ve written in my book that you can t impeach somebody unless you can prove they committed one of the specified crimes. now the republicans say no, you can impeach rosenstein even though he hasn t committed any crimes. that will come back and backfire against republicans. so it was a foolish move. i think it s been withdrawn. it was probably done just for publicity on the eve of the recess. even for that it will be used against them if efforts are made to impeach president trump. but they have a legitimate grievance that their attempts to get oversight have been blocked. they can move for sanctions for contempt, move to have him recused if they there s a conflict of interest but not impeachment. impeachment requires, according to the research in my book, treason, bribery or other high crimes or misdemeanors, not simply not complying with congressional ma mandates or hag a conflict of interest. do you think it s going to be a drip drip situation with michael komen that every day coy we re going to hear new things? how should we prepir fo prepares to go? michael cohen has a great lawyer, a great legal team and they re very experienced and i m sure they have a strategy. rudy giuliani is a great lawyer. we have a clash of really experienced good lawyers and it s unclear how it will develop. i don t think there are any smoking guns. if there were i suspect we ve heard about them already. always good to have your expertise. thanks professor. turning now to other headlines we re fo following. trump declaring an emergency in the state of california as devastating wildfires claim five lives. the latest victims, a great grandmother and two children. their home one of thousands that have been burned to the ground. new evacuations overnight as the car fire exploding in size, covering 84,000-acres. as of right now it is only 5% contained. and there s this. the florida police officer who has been fighting for his life for days now has passed away. fort myers officer was shot in the head while responding to an armed robbery. the suspected killer is from haiti and in the country illegally, now being charged with first degree murder. the officer is the 34th officer to be shot and killed in the line of duty just this year alone. running back ezekiel elliott is the latest cowboy player who said he will stand for the national anthem. listen to this. told the stand together for the national anthem. it s our decision. we re the dallas football coy boys, america s team. just last week owner jerry jones said the players will be required to stand for the anthem. and the army s golden knights putting on a spectacular show from above. wow. the knights parachuting thousands of feet in the air over pennsylvania. the precision jumpers pulling off twists, deep drives during the west motherland county air show. griff and i saw them first hand yesterday at yankees stadium. they did the same thing and land pped right ilanded right in cen. i was busy gabbing. i must have missed it. golding night knights are ame disbloog north korea beginning handing over what is believed to be remains of u.s. service members from the korean war. there are 77 still missing, including a u.s. army captain. his son talked about the significance of having the remains returned coming up. remember gary johnson who ran adds president as a libertarian? what would you do if you were elected about aleppo? what is aleppo? well the libertarian could be heading to capitol hill. you ll find out. ahoy-hoy! as long as people talk too loudly on the phone, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. 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. speak 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. republicanses. republicans. tomorrow he ll go to the other side with a one on one with joe mamanchin. manchin is one of two democrat to schedule a sitdown with kavanaugh, the other one being joe damagely of indiana slighted to meet the judge. supreme court experts say tomorrow s meeting kicks off the real start of kavanaugh s process and the pressure for him to ace the meetings is enormous. it s the chance for him to lay down building blocks to build meaningful relationships with the other side of the aisle. and the vice president is feeling confident about the stakes telling sunday morning futures earlier. he has a proven record. that s the message that we ll carry to republicans and democrats in the senate. and we remain confident that before the fall is out that judge brett kavanaugh will be justice brett kavanaugh. now kavanaugh will need all of the democratic good will he can muster. a handful of democratic senators announced at the outset of his nomination they plan to oppose him. meanwhile they continue to spa over access to kavanaugh s white house paper trail. democrats are pushing for the entirety of his records while serve in the george w. bush white house between 2001 and 2006 while republicans are only interested in his teen your as the president s legal council. chuck grassley filed a judicial request for the documents that his party is interested in on friday. stay tuned to see what happens with that. it s interesting, you re hearing some in the media now, kavanaugh s critics are pointing to a ruling when he was he is an appeals judge in d.c. and he had a dissent on a ban upholding automatic wips. so the antigun lobby coming hard after kavanaugh and that s going to be interesting as he begins to meet with democrats in states and in the races where there s hunters and there s folks that take their second amendment rights seriously. a big story this week. north korea begins handing over what are believed to be the remains of u.s. service members from the korean war. there are 7700 still missing including an air force captain. his son talks about the significance of having those remains returned. he s next. are you ready to take your wifi to the next level? has been spent on 2018 midterm advertising with democrats and republicans fighting over control of correct me if i m co. it will be the most expensive midterm election psych until history. $12 million, that s how much weed was found on an abandoned chicken farm. deputies in georgia discovering the 3500 marijuana plants. no one has been charged yet. finally $0, that s what you ll pay for a side of guacamole on chipotle on tuesday. however you ll have to order online or through the chipotle app. the tha. moving on, presip applauding the hand jofer of the possible remains of 55 u.s. service members mis missing froe korean war. listen. we honor every american patriot who fight and died in that war. these incredible heros will lay at rest on sacred american soil. approximately 7700 u.s. soldiers are still unaccounted for from the korean war. our next guest s father is among them. u.s. air force captain john henry zimmerly jr. was on a night mission march 22nd, 1952 when contact was lost with his aircraft. joining us now is his son, john zimmerly. thank you for being here this morning. we really appreciate it. first before we talk about what the president is doing and the returning of these remains, talk to us a little bit about your father, what happened. you were 3 eyes old whe 3 yearst happened. talk to us about how that affected your life. it s been an incredible impact. when i grew up, everybody had a father but i certainly didn t. it was a missing link in my growing up. as i became an adult i started doing research on my father missing and basically our government said he was an mia and they didn t know what happened to him. in 1995 i found evidence that there was a report that was actually about one of the crew members but it affected all five crew members and it was a report that said a north korea farmer had heard that a twin engine bomber had gone down near his farm and later that day he witnessed three caucasians in tan uniforms with zippers on thairp pants legs about 30 years of age being marched past his farm by north korean and chinese guards. that could very well have been my father and he might have ended up in russia or china. it s got to be, for someone who is searching for their father you said you were raised by his purple heart, a man of agre great heroism. he could have been alive in a camp, could have unfortunately passed on that occasion. what does it mean to you that we have this more open relationship with korea and we re getting some of the remains back could it help you get answers? it certainly could help me get answers. over the years i ve become very very close to the other families who have hads missing servicemen as well and we ve created a very large family. these other people are like my brothers and sisters. and if they get answers, it s affecting my family as well. these remains, let s say that one of them gets checked out and has heavy impact on the bones and it turns out to be one of the crew members on board my father s plane, that sheds a whole light on the other four. and so anything that we get out of these remains i think will help either my family or someone else s. you ve been dedicated to this, running something called the korean war p.o.w.mia network. what s your message to the president and others from the korean war has been dubbed the forgotten war. it s one that we ve had so many missing in action and when you see that black flag flying, you remember folks like yourself who are affected by it. what is your message to the president who have remembered those who were forgotten so long? president trump we can t thank you enough for bringing attention to the korean war. it s been forgotten because or government has been telling us to forget it all of these years. and now you re shedding light on it and we hope you ll get a better rapport with north korea, possibly an opportunity to get in there and check out more remains. but more importantly is to get a good communication on what happened to our missing servicemen, through documents and testimony, whatever they have. leave no man behind can span decades and decades. folks like yourself still searching for answers and our commander in chief searching for them. thank you for your time and your father s sacrifice. we appreciate it. thank you for having me. well, remember this guy on a different turn here, who ran for president as a libertarian? what would you do if you were elected about aleppo? about aleppo? and what is aleppo? now he could be headed for capitol hill. we ll bring that tori to you. plus a new diagnosis for people in tears over president donald trump. trump ansite disorder. we ll explain. get ready, it is national chicken wing day. morning television, we go from p.o.w.s to chicken wings. we re celebrating by a chicken wing eating competition on the plaza. adam got to warm up, i didn t. chicken?! chicken. game?

are they all just as bad? diswhr there are similarities. the propensity to violence. one of the things, one of the strategies that we use, door kickers or warrants at 4 a.m. to try to lock these people up. but the key to this is community involvement. and i have a three-prong strategy that we focus on from a law enforcement perspective. intelligence, when i say intelligence, this is where the community comes in play with their symbiotic relationship. they return these quote unquote tips to police departments that avail us the ability to contact these particular gangs. the resources. police departments need to have the necessary resource to combat the gangs. one of the things i did an interview last month here nn fox & friends in connection with how the city council was looking to eradicate a gang database. now you don t hear them echoing the sentiment. and the last piece, most important, it s targeted enforcement. this is something we see with the gang unit. and this is something that runs we see it in the lapd, the chicago pd and here in new york city, so that granular perspective is what s necessary to eradicate this gang. we re seeing it, it s not just hear in new york and new jersey, it s also in pennsylvania and georgia. how much of the threat of the spread of this should we expect? we re always liking an an antidote to the va the silence. the sig violence. i want to highlight the community relationship. that is what brings the gangs down. when the community comes against the gangs, we as law enforcement are successful moving forward. what can we look out for? gang attire. there s certain things that gang member will wear, colors. con ge grconcongregating in knon environments. contact the police. don t attempt to stop it on your own. use the professionals. always goods to have your expeexpertise snr. thank you for your service, law enforcement and the military politifact fact checks president trump, 4.1% gdp growth rate hitting him for saying this. the united states economy grew at the amazing rate of 4.1%. according to politifact, it s strong but not amazing. really? a recent poll shows that most americans still believe in god. why aren t people going to church? father jonathan morris is here to weigh in. you don t want to miss it. you planning to go to churnl today in a poll found that 80 prts of americans believe in god. yet weekly church attendance remains steady among protestants but have declined against catholics. why do believes seem to be leaving the church but not faith. joining us now, father jonathan morris. an interesting question. so the amount of people who believe in god remains high, church attendance dropping. why? it s fascinating to me because it shows that our belief in god, that we have a natural thirst and hunger for god that it can survive even many reasons that we come up with why not to go to church, whether it s the credibility of clergy, whether it is laziness, whether it s the fact that we ve taken the name and the voice of god out of our schools and public places. in other words, lots of reasons that say i don t really need to go to church, right? and other people who would say, hey, listen, i can talk to god in my own bedroom and house which is totally true. but when you see how strong the faith of the american people is in god, in a higher power, it says that is such a drk to me it says it s such a strong natural desire. and it s amazing that it survives. getting together as a community, right? it s one thing to go and to hear the beautiful ser mont sermon ae messages but being around people that also want to be there. it s often when you go through something really hard in your life that you want to go to church, gi physically go to chu. you can pray at heem home, yu don t need to go to church. you can do that. when we say that we don t end up praying at home. when we say we re going to go talk abtd god, learn about god, learn about the bible and the church, what so many people have taught through the centuries about god, that that s when we really form a deeper relationship with god. it s easy to say i can do it in my own bedroom. a lot of people are watching television from their beds right now. put the covers over your head. you ll probably fall asleep instead of talking to god for an hour. do you think that technology has contributed to this? you can get a podcast of a sermon, you can get it on instagram or twitter, thoughts from priests. do you think that s downplayed going to church? i don t think so. for example, i m there this morning at 8:45 and i do it through my facebook page through facebook live. thousandsof people watch it. it doesn t mean they say is they don t have to go to church. i think when people are inspired, they ask deeper questions and make decisions to make it a more important part of their life. what has church gotten wrong that have turned people back? it used to be you go to church because i told you to. mom and dad says you say why do i have to go to church. because i told you to. i ve been there. those things are over. thanks god those days are over. we have to be able to give credible reasons not only for the existence of god but why we should follow the reasons of god. we have to give credible, interesting, relevant it doesn t mean dumbing down our sermons or making the music about the newest thing of the day. but rather saying i am going to explain to you, give reasons for believing and reasons for living. you have to be able to connect with people and show them this is the reason. not just because that s what good people do, they go to church. those days are over. and also the other reason which is it s just almost 8:00 and so you have plenty of time to get up, get dressed and go to church this morning. once the show is even. keep your show on so we get credits 0en the dv r. you inspire all of us. remember when philadelphia s mayor celebrated a sanctuary win? a sanctuary city notes this morning i.c.e. fires back. you ve seen the founders of john s crazy socks. more on that right after this. wall going to wait until after the midterm elections? probably. that s something we do have a disagreement on. ezekiel elliott is the latest cowboys player to say he stand for the national anthem. about 15 seconds left. yep. it s an eating competition. how does pete not win? why e do we have an eating we anythings today is national chicken wing day. we don t need an excuse, pete. we actually don t. today we have one. [laughter] and, abby, you people have been chiming in on really mostly, forget about the fact that i did mow down adam and gripf you did. can we get a closeup there? one hand. okay. abby: by the way, at the end there was only one chicken wing. i went for the big one. i have been criticized by pete who i ve lost as well as our senior producer, stephanie, who said, first, that i was dainty peter: as well as my wife. my wife tweets, one-handed? question mark? [laughter] you re or the only guy that s ever eaten a chicken wing eating contest and didn t need a napkin afterwards. [laughter] griff: that is fake news. i was holding the bucket. peter: when i think decorum, i think chicken wing eating contest. griff: i m definitely not going to win any contests against pete. pete: i say more eating contests. a little practice. abby: we9 got your become though. the president is up as well, and he is tweeting. this is what he just sent out, please understand there are consequences when people cross our border illegally whether they have children or not, and many are just using children for their own sinister purposes. congress must fix dumbest and worst immigration laws anywhere in the world, vote r. peter: he s saying, hey, if you want that border wall, we need more republicans. well, part of the problem has been that some of the republicans that are there have not been as committed as they should be to his priority the. most significantly, the border wall, such a it? part of what the president ran on. on friday be mitch mcconnell was on a radio program, and in september the budget bill is coming up abby: right before the midterms. pete: what is mitch mcconnell going to say about pull pilling the that fulfilling that promise? probably, and something we do have a disagreement on so if homeland security won t get funded before the midterms. probably not. so you re not worried about a government shutdown? abby: well, let s take a little look back, shall we, to may of in this last year and the president talking about a government shutdown and what he will stand for and not stand for. our borders and our laws are a mess. our immigration laws are a disgrace. we may have to close up our country to get this straight. peter: that s what he s referring to, a government shutdown if we don t fix these laws. the tweet we led with was about three minutes old, he just tweeted it. same message as he had in may. we could have is a big showdown coming up. griff: well, we shall see. now, in deference to majority leader mitch mcconnell it could be those comments were in a broader contest, that he s look at confirmation of brett kavanaugh. and, by the way, the house is out of session, the senate s still working right now. it could be they re working on pyreties and didn t mean to priorities and didn t mean to i ve reached out to his folks. pete pete is this his 21st month of reference? still hasn t funded the border wall. griff: mitch mcconnell led the way on neil gorsuch. he blocked merrick garland peter: accidental victory. griff: what we re seeing in a recent, a new poll, a rasmussen poll which is that folks are onboard with the trump agenda. abby: republican voters. give give republican voters, and that the leadership in the republican party should get onboard. abby: and if you are running in the midterms, take a look at this poll. it shows that people who feel their views are closest to the president on this, 64%. you compare that to 20% who feel their views are closer to the average republican in congress, that just gives you a sense of people that are running in the midterms and where they should fall in line on certain issues if they want to be successful in certain parts of this country. if you re running an area that is very pro-trump, they feel like the economy is booming, they are with him on immigration policies, for example. you re probably better off siding with the president when you looked at a poll like that than not. like mitch mcconnell. there s gown to be in-fighting within the republican party as we ve seen may out for a while pete: he s got 90% republican approval, 88% approval. this is donald trump s party. agenda item number one was build the wall. that s why he still you ve got to give the president a lot of credit. vote r. he still knows that without republicans, nothing happens. and you want guys like mitch mcconnell to understand that. the games of washington, of the establishment past, folks are done with that. if the president ran on something and overwhelmingingly his supporters want that, it s time to advance that. they want a wall, they want border security. it ll be very the shutdown is going to be something to watch because you ve got that and, as you said, the supreme court puck coming up. the establishment folks you just wonder, have they still internalized it yet? if you support this president, going to the polls is going to be a necessary. abby: i was just going to say the timing s very interesting because who knows how things play out, but if democrats take control of the house or the senate, this may be the only time if term for the president to get something big done on immigration and funding for that wall. if democrats get in there, that s not going to happen. griff: the clock is ticking, and the president also tweeting about the highest republican presidential ratings perhaps in history, as he says. we d have to look back and politifact check that [laughter] but that s a different story. this is striking a tone p. this is from phil. he says president trump should leave them no option but shut down if republicans won t get in step and fulfill his biggest campaign promise. pete: a tweet from becky says, bad idea, guys. what happened to making sure we get the wall built? some stand by the promises made and you ll be find, that s what americans want. abby: this is an e-mail from mike who says border wall funding should be in the next bill, senator mcconnell has been wading into the swamp too long. pete: i think he s a lifeguard at this point. griff: he knows where all the bodies are buried which is why you want to believe that he is invested in the priorities. that s what i think people get frustrate with. i know there s a lot of complexity the, plenty of reason for deference, but it s really disappointing to people who send republicans abby: as you said, the president has been clear what he wants on immigration, and we ve seen what s happened on the democratic side, griff, some of them are talking about completely abolishing i.c.e., right? voters are really going to have a choice this next election cycle and even going into 2020. there really is no gray area or middle ground on what we want for immigration. griff: that s a great point. and the president, you know, taking his weekly address to talk about i.c.e. and to give i.c.e. real kudos. there s a story in philadelphia there, the mayor who you saw doing this dance that they were a sanctuary city finally has broken into the contract that the city of philadelphia has with their preliminary arraignment reporting system, basically, which is when people have a detainer on them and they may have come here illegally, i.c.e. is able to access that database and see this is a person that we re pete: a criminal. griff: well, this is handicap canned i.c.e. handicapped i.c.e., because now they re unable to to after these criminals in that community. and it is manager something that is maybe the next step in this battle with cities by denying i.c.e. and law enforcement officials access to local information that they critically need to do their jobs. pete: obstructing law enforcement. it s more than just sanctuary. cath thu barnett, who s a native of philly, had this to say about what s happening with i.c.e. this is just the natural next step in this mayor s open defiance against our law enforcement agencies. people who are simply carrying out their job according to the way the law is written. demonizing them does not help those particular communities that are already weak. we have politicians who are trying to cuddle up to the needs of the minorities by overlooking the minority. griff: and just to add, i.c.e. responded as well staying they were deeply disappointed with the city s decision, and as it has repeatedly been said, east was at no point i.c.e. was at no point in breach of access to that system. abby: yeah. i would imagine you d be disappointed. a lot going on this morning. i do want to bring you some other headlines. president trump is declaring an energy in the mate an emerging in the state of california. the latest victims seen right here. a great grandmother and two children, their home just one of thousands that were found burnt to the ground. new evacuations ordered oversight as the carr fire exploding in size now covers nearly 84,000 acres. at this point it is only 5% contained. and now to9 another fox news alert, the number of people killed in a powerful indonesia earthquake is climbing to at least 14 people this morning. 160 others are injured after a quake rattled the popular tourist destination overnight. the 6.4 magnitude quake damaging as many as 1,000 houses near bali. it was followed by about 60 smaller other earthquakes. and there s this, georgia congressman john lewis is waking up in the hospital this morning after palling ill on a plane falling ill on a plane overnight. the 78-year-old was expected at an event in atlanta but did not end up showing up. the representative s spokesperson says he is, quote, under routine observation and is expected to to be released later today. and an obama gas station, a convenience store and fueling station in south carolina is changing its name at the request of local residents. this decision coming as community leaders have been complaining about the constant loitering while protesting the business renewal request to sell beer and wine. i never knew there was an obama gas station. [laughter] apparently. we re going to have to do a little research on that story. pete: interesting. griff: we shall find out. pete: someone should open a clinton griff: can right? abby: gas station? pete: whatever you want. griff: we need a pete gas station. pete: no, we don t. griff: the trump administration s message to the media, no money was exchanged. we ll talk about that next. pete: and a man chases people in a convenience store with an alligator in his hands. he may be in trouble just possibly a. abby: yeah. pete: put that in the bad idea file. when heartburn hits. fight back fast with tums smoothies. it neutralizes stomach acid at the source. tum tum tum tum tums. smoothies. .and introducing new tums sugar-free. is it to carry cargo. greatness of an suv?

here to weigh in, rebeccah heinrichs. i will pose you that question, how significant is this exchange? well, it is significant. it s significant because the korean war really goes to the heart of why the united states and north korea have had an adversarial relationship. the north koreans invaded south korea, of course, in 1950, and they were really the pointy edge of the sword in this war between communism and capitalism. free markets and freedom and democracy that the united states represented. and so if you re talking about the right now the north koreans still believe that they are enemies of the united states. it s something that they teach their children. it s something that is inculcated in the north korean society. so if we re to the point where they are willing to actually give us back some of the remains of our precious war dead from that war, it does or portend the good things as long as when these remains are checked out, they do check out that they are, in fact, because the north koreans do have a history of sometimes not sending back the remains of who they say they are. pete: of course. so the due diligence has to be done, and the significance cannot be with understated for those who have someone missing in north korea, no doubt about that. how do we make sure this translates into moving the process forward to ultimately make sure chairman kim does not have nukes? well, that s exactly right. this is something that s very good, it s good for u.s./north korean relations. obviously, it s incredibly important to these individual families for closure. it s important for the united states. but ultimately, it s all about the nukes. we really, we need to have north korea make the strategic decision to move away from its nuclear program. something that s interesting that the trump administration is doing, they re trying to convince the north koreans that those nuclear weapons do not guarantee their security. they put their security at risk. and the only way they re going to have economic flourishing and prosperity is if they make the strategic decision to move in another direction. they have to show us the whole store, show us what they have so we can get a timeline to dismantle and get pete: you hit on the key point, does kim jong un believe he can be secure without his nukes? that, to me, is the bottom line. it doesn t seem like he has made that decision yet. secretary pompeo has explicitly said that we have not quite seen that, although we re certainly showing him that there s light at the end of the tunnel, but he needs to walk through that tunnel. and time really is running out because president trump really wants, as far as i have tell, he wants to get this done in his first term. he d like to get it done in the first term, and it can be done in a couple of years but, you know, the time is running out. so north koreans really need, again, the first thing is they have to let inspectors in there so we can see everything they have. of. pete: that s true, because we hear the intelligence or the aerial photos, they re dismantling this, they ve kept this, only having people on the ground is going to tell the truth. rebecca, thank you for your time. is eric holder running for president in 2020? he certainly is not shying away from the insinuation, i think it is? yeah. his latest comments ahead. and you ve seen the founders of john s crazy socks right here on our show. well, they re back with an update on their big business boom. not gonna want to miss it. some cool socks coming up next. buffalo style chicken in a pouch bold choice, charlie! just tear, eat. mmmmm. and go! try all of my chicken creations! chicken! and lets you control your network with the xfi app. it s the ultimate wifi experience. xfinity xfi, simple, easy, awesome. griff: back now with some headlines. a teenager accused of plotting an isis-inspired attack will stand the trial, a grand jury indicting him. authorities say he planned to blow up a a mall in texas, also charged in a murder for hire plot target thing a police officer. and across the sea now where a fanatic was encouraged to attack prince george. he was stabbed by another prisoner. he is serving life behind bars also urged extremists to inject poison into ice cream. he s expected to be okay. frightening stuff. abby: horrible. thank you, griff. all right, to a more inspiring story. it all started with a young man s passion for socks. in 2016 a entrepreneur with down s syndrome went into business with his dad to create a sock company. they joined us last november. i said i want to sell socks. [laughter] he had long worn colorful and crazy socks. so we said let s go test the idea. he had the name and the idea let s sell them on line. abby: what s the name? john s crazy socks. [laughter] pete: when we last saw them, they hit $1 million in sales, and they now have a $4 million empire. griff: john and his dad mark joins us now. it has saved my terrible, out of date, old man socks, i am now sporting john s crazy socks. abby: look at those! [laughter] give give thank you, john. pete: john, thanks for being here. where did you come up with the idea to start this company? i came up with a name and i come up the idea for socks. why socks, buddy? why socks? because i have worn socks my entire life. i love socks. they re fun, colorful and always let me be me. pete: absolutely. a way to stick out. abby: what s so amazing is the growth that your business has seen. $4 million, right? in 18 months. abby: and john has been a huge part of this, but also talk about the opportunity that you guys provide people of all different backgrounds. you look at john who has a disability, he s there working every single day. there would be no business without john. what we re doing well, we have a very simple mission, right? what s our mission? [inaudible] part of that is we want to show the world what s possible when you give someone a chance. and that, for us, means hiring people with differing abilities. so we ve been able to create 35 or jobs, 18 of those are held by people with differing abilities. and the key here, it s not charity. it s good business. we go toe to toe with the walmarts and the amazons, and we re able to succeed because of the people we hire. it s a wonderful thing to see. and we want others to see it too. griff: well, and talk about seeing things, you actually former president george h.w. bush have struck up a friendship over socks, right? abby: he loves sockings. right? he wore, host worn john s he s worn john s socks. griff: let me just put it up. this is a tweet from president george h.w. bush saying that yesterday i was inspired by my friend john to wear these beauties from @john s crazy socks marking world down syndrome day, supporting a wonderful cause. hashtag john s crazy socks. abby: that was from back in march. right. and he was wearing the down s syndrome superhero socks, and who designed those? i did. abby: you did? i have an idea, i drew up pictures of it. pete: oh, cool. abby: do you have a favorite sock? which one is your favorite? one of my favorite ones are what we is that because your picture is on it? [laughter] met me be me let me be me. right. plus you designed, right, and he designed these fourth of july i choose that. pete: very cool. griff: these, of course, which are the straight on endorsement. [laughter] not only have you created jobs, you re going to start for seasonal and hire another 20? we expect to hire another 20 people for the holidays. abby: wow. listen, we re about creating jobs. so the socks that we design, many of which john designs, those are all made here in the u.s.. and part of our mission is giving back. so we donate 5% of our earnings to whom? [inaudible] plus, individual socks raise money for charities, so we ve already raised over $135,000 for our charity. abby: it s a great message. you live in this country, you work hard regardless of your background or disability, you can still succeed in life. what is your next goal? $4 million, what do you want next, $8 million? what we re driven by is seeing what we can do for others, and it s really driven by showing what people can do. so we don t want to be competition, but we are creating a john s crazy socks network the put shows on the internet that feature or are hosted by people with differing ability, right? right. so you do a science show now and a cooking show. that s what we want to see. we want to grow so we can hire more people. and the more we can do, the better off we are. yeah. and i want to we are, we are willing to work. absolutely. abby: it s a great message. pete: can i steal we ve got to put a plug in. we ve got to ask folks to go to john s crazy socks.com, and we re spreading happiness. abby: we ll check in, and thank you for finally giving griff some new socks [laughter] pete: he took all the socks that had holes in them. griff: you re my hero. abby: thank you both. give give all right. president trump has long promised a southern border wall, but congress is holding that the up. abby: and politifact fact checks president trump s 4.1% gdp growth rate hitting him for saying this the united states economy grew at the amazing rate of 4.1%. abby: according to politifact, it is strong but not amazing. michelle malkin is here to react. she is fired up. she s going to talk about that and much more coming up next. it s a high-tech revolution in sleep. the new sleep number 360 smart bed. it intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts on each side to keep you both comfortable. and snoring?

they were on it. it was unbelievable. having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa- now that s a privilege. we re the baker s and we re usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote today. party with the president still standing firm as he has from day one about funding and building that border wall. mitch mcconnell has said on friday, was it pete: on the radio. abby: that this is not going to be part of the negotiation for funding. the president tweeting out this morning, he says please understand there are consequences when people cross our border illegally whether they have children or not. congress must act on fixing the dumbest and worst immigration laws anywhere in the world. vote r. how do you see this playing out? he s making it clear it s going to be a game-changer if funding for the wall s not part of this funding, we could see a government shutdown. yeah. this is a longstanding battle that has occurred within the republican party between the open borders, belt9way establishment that answers to big business and corporate special interests who put cheap labor above the safety and sovereignty of our country versus the republicans who support the trump agenda and understand why he was elected in the first place. we have these battles during the bush administration when the open borders faction and karl rove were leading the charge for another disastrous amnesty. and it was grassroots republicans, and they didn t know it at the time, but trump republicans who fought back against that. the biggest enemies here are not necessarily the open borders democrats, they re doing what they always do. it is those republicans in washington, d.c. who are willing to throw president trump and his voters and supporters under the bus to preserve their own power. this is why people have been so sick of the likes of paul ryan and mitch mcconnell who will pay lip service to immigration enforcement when they need to to get reelected and then do everything to sabotage the measures that are necessary. and, of course, $5 billion for the wall is the least they could do. that is a nonnegotiable, bare minimum going into the midterms. griff: michelle, i ve spoken a little bit with mcconnell s folks, and they re saying we re not saying don t do the wall, we re just talking about a meeting that, apparently, mcconnell and president trump had at the end of last week about whether or not they even do homeland security before the election. isn t ultimately the strategy best that they all agree upon? well, here s the problem with the beltway establishment, because their strategy always is to promise to do these things [laughter] and then to tell the american people, it s like lucy and charlie brown and the football. don t worry, oh, it s all about timing. we ve got to just get the time thing right. and they ve been saying that for 10, 15, 20 years. i absolutely support president trump and this white house who are laying down this as an ultimatum the. why shouldn t they be voting on this before the midterm rather than play the old, same beltway swamp games of, oh, we ll do it later, we ll do it as a continuing resolution. [laughter] what they re saying, what they re signaling, right, to the base of the republican party and to independents that helped elect president trump is we don t care about your priorities. well, we don t care about the beltway establishment anymore. good riddance to paul ryan. and, you know, i wish mitch mcconnell would go out to pasture as well. it s time. pete: no, you re right. they know he wants it and, ultimately, is willing to fight for it, and the swamp wants to kick the can, as you said, michelle, very, very well. not to repeat it, which i just did. politifact, you ve heard of them, they fact check statements and try to say, well, this politician what they re saying is true or not true. the president has talked repettedly about how repeatedly about how great this 4.1% gdp number is. he used the word amazing. politifact found that you can t call it amazing, michelle, you can only call it strong because no economist they talked to uses the word amazing. [laughter] is it, we joke about it, but is it a little worrisome? a thing like politifact is what facebook s going to use to fact check everything for all of us, right? yeah. pete: is there room for a lot of bias in the way these things are done? well, look, there s a reason why old time the conservative bloggers like myself have called politifact politi fake. and it is an artifact of the old, dinosaur media that they get to be the arbiters of what is true and not true. now they are parsing adjectives and pretending to be sort of the neutral gatekeepers of which adjective the our president can use to describe what is unassail my an amazing economy and not give him credit for it. but this is why competition is good. this is why i believe in the free market of ideas, because now they are relegated to what they are which is, essentially, an ideological operation. and if people know that politifact is run by a far-left media outfit in florida which is violently anti-trump, ten they know exactly how to take it which is with a massive grain of salt. abby: yeah. i think if you re debating between the words of amazing and strong and describing our economy, that s a place i d probably want to live. that sounds like a good praise to be. [laughter] place to be. you are celebrating 25 years of marriage. congratulations to you and you r husband. share some of your wisdom and what has made your marriage work. i wrote a column, michelle malkin.com, and i asked other readers who had celebrated their silver and golding wedding anniversaries, and i absolutely agree with so much of the feedback i got including never be stupid at the same time, never go to bed mad [laughter] always respect each other, remember the vows the that you took before god, your family and friends. and i think most importantly for many of the husbands who celebrate their silver or gold anniversaries, the advice that they give to newlywed young men is remember these five words: yes, dear, you are right. [laughter] gary give michelle, very quickly, has your husband ever forgotten an anniversary? no, he has not. if you re married to me, that is something you re not going to forget. [laughter] abby: i love of that, michelle, only be stupid at the same time. there s only room for one to be stupid. griff: congratulations. thanks, guys, appreciate it. griff: all right. more nfl players taking a stand for the national anthem and against the kneelers: a dallas cowboy has a message for america coming up. abby: and you have heard of safe spaces and microaggressions, now college students want trigger warnings, whatever that is, but could they actually harm those that they re intended to protect? we will discuss and explain what all of that means. that s next. our windshield fixed. with safelite, you can see exactly when we ll be there. saving you time for what you love most. kids: whoa! kids vo: safelite repair, safelite replace chicken! that s right, chicken?! candace new chicken creations from starkist. buffalo style chicken in a pouch bold choice, charlie! just tear, eat. mmmmm. and go! try all of my chicken creations! chicken! you made moonshine in a backwoods still. smuggled booze and dodged the law. even when they brought you in, they could never hold you down. when i built my family tree and found you, i found my sense of adventure. i set off on a new life, a million miles away. i m heidi choiniere, and this is my ancestry story. now with over 10 billion historical records, discover your story. get started for free at ancestry.com pete: welcome back. eric holder is not shying away from rumors of a 2020 presidential run. according to cnn so consider the source in a meeting with cincinnati democrats, he reportedly said, yep, i m interested. but he said that he won t officially make a decision until next year. and what appears to be one man s prank won t be leaving him laughing much longer. y all got beer still? y all got beer still? y all ain t out, are y all? pete: that florida man chases a customer inside a convenience store with a live alligator. [laughter] while sometimes you can t believe what you re reading. wildlife officials now investigating the jacksonville incident. the man tells local reporters it was, quote, all fun and games. griff, sounds like my kind of game. abby: that doesn t sound like a fun game to me. thank you, pete. all right, in the age of college safe spaces and microaggression, students also demanding trigger warnings are a heads up on potential material that may upset them. griff: all this may backfire according to a new study which claims by treating students as fragile, these trigger warnings may actually harm those they are intended to protect. abby: former vanderbilt professor carol swain is the author of abduction: how liberalism steals our children s hearts and minds. she joins us to react. what world are we now living in? this has been going on for a while, and i can tell you as a professor i believed in truth in advertising. so when students were making decisions about courses, i would tell them that they had entered a political correct free and free zone, and if they were overly sensitive, my classroom was not the right place for them. i believe that the university is supposed to be a marketplace for ideas and that students cannot be educated in a vacuum. they have to be exposed to ideas. and that s not happening on college campuses the way it was when i went to college and maybe when you went to college. abby: what is going on? give people a sense from your experience, the fact that you even had to make that statement, why did you feel you haved to do that? what other things have you seen? i think the administrative, you know, allowing the students to dictate what they want but not all students because many of the things that take place maybe offensive to conservative christians, to white students, but they re not part of the protected groups. and so no one is concerned about their feelings. so we have created an environment where professors are walking around on egg shells even if they re liberal professors. they don t know when they re going to offend someone, and the rules keep changing. p what offends someone today, you know, it changes constantly. and so there s always going to be someone offended about something, and as a consequence, you can t teach the great books anymore. griff: let me just ask you about, we had out in hollywood anne hathaway, right, actress responding to the recent death of neil wilson in oakland on july 22nd. she tweetedded out were out taking to social media writing that all black people fear for their lives daily in america. what is your reaction? well, first of all, i m sure that she had the best of intention, but what qualifies her to speak for all blacks? and i believe that as an actress she doesn t know the data on criminal justice. i can say that in america we do have a rise in murder rate, a rise in interracial murder rate, and so a lot of people fear for their lives especially in a city of blacks, and the data also shows that you re more likely to be killed by someone of your own racial group, someone that you know rather than a stranger. and in the particular case where she spoke, this person had a criminal record, and it was a random crime. there s no evidence of that it was motivated by racial hatred at all. interracial killings take place, and i don t think you can generalize the way she did. gary give professor carol swain abby: new book, abduction, out. thank you. so. abby: coming up, a new poll shows men are really terrible at remembering your partner s birthday. no surprise here. we are bringing back a memory expert to help out pete and griff. giver and are you hitting the road this summer?

yes, that s something we have a disagreement on. we have 15 seconds left. it s an eating competition. how does he not win. [ music ] oh, my favorite band right now, florida georgia line. i know, i saw the winner earlier. i saw that. you are badlying paddling on. there was a knife and fork. we had a busy few days. you had a busy year maria. you are always bringing exclusive interviews. what we have been talking about this morning is the difference of words we are hearing from president in the republican side. talking about the funding bill coming this fall and whether or not to put funding for the wall. he made clear from the beginning that it s important for him to get funding for the border wall. it s not like it will be in the bill. yeah, i think the republican are making a big mistake not getting behind president trump. supporters of the gop in general or supporters of donald trump. people would like to see things get done. they voted for donald trump. they would like to see his strategy and agenda executed. the fact that you have these republicans that are ignoring what the people want these are the number one campaign promise. maria go ahead. the president just recently in the last hour have been tweeting there are consequences when they cross the border illegally. many are just using them anywhere in the world. of course i ve been in contact with mitch mcconnell that he s not saying i m going to do the wall. it was a conversation the president had with speaker ryan as well. i trust this 100%. i just hear talk, talk, talk. we said we were doing it in 2018 and 2019. when will they listen to the voters. they just had the spending bill. there wasn t enough money in the wall. they keep blowing off the deadlines. i believe the president when they say they might have to have a shutdown when the funding is not in the upcoming budget. you say you will do it in march if i don t get funding for the wall. it s tough. look what is happening to all of the democrats that are going all the way to the left saying abolish ice and we don t want this kind of border security. republicans are in a bad place too. they are not seeing eye to eye. the timing is everything. this is before the midterm election. this will be disastrous for those not in line with donald trump. donald trump won. for those who are blowing him off this will be a problem for them. the president made a point to say we have to do this. the american people understand this president is pushing, pushing, pushing. on the other hand there should have been a better strategy in place once they instituted the zer zero tolerane policy. i don t think he wants to battle republicans. he s battling the establishment. the status quo folks that don t want anything to change. it would be better if they saw the polls work again. they said he would never win. they said poll numbers would go down. they said 4.1 would never happen. when does mitch mcconnell wake up and say when do we do what we said we d do. people don t understand understand this is going to come back to bite them. the people want to see the wall built and they also want to see the other things he has on his agenda. the judges. especially the democrats they are insane over the outcomes. they may not like the president s approach. we know they hate him and would like to impeach him. when you look at the outcomes or the judges on the federal court as well as the supreme court picks or foreign policy. iran pulling out of the deal. all of the outcomes are better than expected. the fact you ar are not followig through. some don t have a chose. brett kavanaugh will meet we joe on the hill. you had a great interview with the vice president. he s won being in a state were president trump won by a landslide. he will have to stand by brett kavanaugh. you spoke with mike pence and this is what he told you. for the president of the united states in this deliberation he was looking for a judge with extraordinary credentials and intellect. judge brett kavanaugh has that philosophy. he has a proven record. that s what the president made this nomination about and the massage we ll carry to republicans and democrats in the senate. we will remain confident. before are the fall is out he will be justice brett kavanaugh. will this be before or after the midterms. their next term is on october 1. they hope he will be in before october 1. that s what the vice president told me as well as a number of republicans and democrats. mansion will also get the support of joe donnelly and vice president pence will be meeting with donnelly later in the month. are we reaching the point when the confirmation looks inevitable. it s the resist narrative. that s just what it is. he has all of the qualifications both sides want to see. he s moderate. you see the resist movement. people are tired of it. not just because it s constant fighting but they would like to see things get done. mcconnell is a key player in the confirmation if there is a standoff between mcconnell and the president on the wall. i don t think the wall gets involved in the kavanaugh confirmation. mcconnell is key to it and all of the senate. they need to see one here. they will get republican support. i m not worried about brett kavanaugh getting confirmed. what you are seeing is they have to resist or talk negatively about it. that s who the party is. you have to say abolish ice which is a mistake on if democrats. most are hanging out in the middle. you might move to the right on some things or the left on others. you don t want to abolish ice. regardless of your politics it s the economy. this is the question before we let you go, sustainability. the numbers look good. how long do you see it lasting? this last quarter, the 4.1% growth means we ll see a 3% year. this is a long way they haven t seen it cuts and roll backs. you did see people and businesses rushing to buy some commodedies like commodities like crude oil. you are still seeing a million more jobs created as a result of the policies. growth is at 3 to 4%. i m not one of those who believed things slowed down in 19 and 20. we have the vice president in an exclusive interview but also lindsey graham. let s not forget what s going on in terms of the fbi and doj leadership. that s another thing working against the democrats. people want to see the rule of law and no abuse of power. that s not what it looked like in the 2016 election. just a warmup for you, maria. thank you, maria. that s a comment for me. thank you, maria. we have other headlines i would like to bring you this morning. president trump is declaring an emergency in the state of
