i'm looking forward to coming back again and again. i'm trying to invite myself eciate that. pastor darrell scott. we thank you for being with us. kennedy: tonight donald trump says he has a plan to rebuild the u.s. military and rebuild isis. but will it work? damaging new details on hillary clinton's seem scandal. is there evidence she tried to manipulate the benghazi hearing? one well-known coach tells his players if you pull a capper nick you are never -- pull a kaepernick, you are never getting off the bench. this election is about gauntlet throwing. and one up manship.

hillary i'll release my taxes when you release your emails. >> let her release her emails and i'll release my tax returns immediately. kennedy: she probably hit her emails with a hammer. donald trump would be the only presidential nominee not to show his dough before the election. >> nobody cares about it. i'm under a routine order. when the order is complete i will release my returns. when the audit is complete i will release my returns. i have no problem with it. kennedy: when the audit is complete he will send a tweet. >> if it doesn't fit, you must acquit. kennedy: they will continue to slap each other with various gloves.

let us see your goldman sachs speech transcripts and i will fly you around on trump force one. no one cares about his tax returns, this is all about hyperbole and emotion and who can paint their opponent as slightly less likeable. so why is she so hell bent on setting her peepers on his tax papers. >> clearly his tax returns tell a story the american people deserve and need to know. he clearly has something to hide. kennedy: as the future drip of her emails threatens to turn into a tidal gush, her campaign could water board it self. all she can do is lull us into a false sense of security by

miscategorizing herself. my emails are so boring. i'm embarrasses about that. >> you know what wouldn't be boring? getting a full independent psychological evaluation from these two. so we can decide who is less demented and the lesser of two evils. i'm kennedy. donald trump is holding on to his tax returns and hillary clinton may be withholding evidence from her email server. so where is their slap fight going to go? joining me for the first time is glenn hall from the "wall street journal." he's the u.s. news editor. and we'll tackle a new "wall street journal" poll. joe devito is a comedian wearing a pocket square.

and also host of red eye. tom shillue. welcome everyone. welcome to the show. this is exciting. we'll talk to you at length in just a bit. i want to know, what do you think is more important. donald trump releasing his tax or getting even more emails from hillary clinton? >> i think the emails are more important and that's why it's a brilliant move by trump. he she she isn't going to release them because she destroyed them so she can't. kennedy: i'll bet there are emails on missing device. i'll bet she know whereas they are. but she is too busy smashing blackberries to comply with written each dicts or laws -- written edicts or laws. >> it just goes to show how ridiculous it is that she is in favor of let's open up the books.

donald trump is a private citizen and he's under no obligation. he said he's undergoing an eight. but he doesn't have to. it's nobody's business. she is as public employee. that's a different story. >> he doesn't want to release them because he makes less money than he says. he's been bragging about how much money he has. when you file your taxes you try to make it seem like you make the least. kennedy: one or two year's tax won't necessarily divulge his net worth. he knows that she can't release that. she could release it all to the state department if she wanted to. >> she doesn't have control over the emails. all these court cases are controlling. so the timing is out of her hands. donald trump could decide to release them if it was in his advantage to do so. i don't know what's in them.

but i will tell you this. in our polling see see more than half of the pollers believe donald trump should release his tax reforms. it will be the most read story when we have those tax returns and we start telling people what's in it. c trump said before. he said people wouldn't get it. they wouldn't was they were reading and make a big deal out of nothing. >> i think lay people might not understand. but when there is a supreme court case that comes down, for those of us who didn't go to law school, you say, h, -- huh -- words. there are people who can interpret his tax returns and a legion of folks who would love to paint them. >> i'm sure fox and journalists could do it. kennedy: there is a "wall street

journal" poll. 13% of voters still undecided who they are going to support in the presidential election. that's important because in the latest fox news poll, hillary clinton has 48% to donald trump's 42% with an election that tight. a 13% block of undecided voters could swing the whole thing. these are republican leaners. and they are hesitant to throw their vote behind either major party nominee. what does donald trump have to do to sway them. these undecideds are not like undecideds of past election. they are people who traditionally have voted republican but we have seen them turning towards the democrats. if donald trump can't bring them

back into the camp, do the republicans lose them forever. he has been speaking the language of the white working class, and now he has to speak the language of the white educated class. maybe more action that speaks to the intelligence crowd saying i have a plan and you don't have to take my word for it. that may help. kennedy: that line of interpretation is wearing thing with people. he did have a lot more specifics on military today. i think this is good news for gary johnson. he has been taking votes way from hillary clinton more than donald trump. but he does well with millennials, independents and some of those better educated white people we are talking about. >> you never know until it comes time to vote. there are voters who are hold their noses for trump because they are republican. kennedy: you think we'll wait until the last second. >> then people will hold their

nose for hillary because she has tuberculosis and they are afraid she is going to cough. these aren't the traditional undecided voters. you are not undecided, you are sort of disgusted and mortified. it's that you know these two clowns too much. >> we know the republican leaning. they said they wanted see republicans control congress. but they are undecided about the president. kennedy: there are people like jeff flake who say they will not vote for donald trump or hillary clinton. but you say in the end that doesn't matter, you say donald trump is going to win. how does he do it? in the latest fox news poll he certainly narrowed the gap between them. but he has a lot of work to do in the critical swing states. >> i don't think he has a lot of work to do. the reason i always thought

trump was going to win from the beginning is he's the more interesting candidate. i think the more interesting person always wins. post world war ii, the more interesting one wins. all he has to do, 12% undecided? i think 11% of them will go for trump if he does nothing. kennedy: he has to do more work to make himself seem interesting and in other rattic. speeches that are boring when he's on teleprompter do him a service when hillary is on defense with news of cheryl mills controlling everything and huma abedin and her personal life. donald trump could do much better if he were in fact the more interesting person an doesn't have a lot of time to do it. >> i think he's already more interesting. all you have to do -- not smart

people are tolerant of smart people. smart people won't vote for a dumb person. they are the ones who are intolerant. kennedy: that's the one thing about this race, it's so unpredictable. if there is a huge block of people, 13%. it sways it for either direction in either direction. if they are undecided up until that final moment, the most unpredictable election our lifetime could really go. >> it come down to who screws up the closest to the finish line. coming up, the party panel returns. the at the obama administration has given iran keeps on ballooning. did hillary clinton and her puppet masters tinker with the benghazi hearings? judge napolitano joinsnsns

kennedy: $1.7 billion. that's the latest tally for what the obama administration has reportedly paid iran in what some are calling an illegal ransom. $the obama administration gave $400 million to iran and it

coincided with the release of american prisoners. since then two more shipments have come to light totaling $1.7 billion in cash payments. obviously it and ransom payment. they gave money to iran. there was no ray they were going to release those prisoners until they had cash in hand. >> it's a rather jaundiced view, kennedy. hillary clinton has said this was something that was in the works for a while. and i believe they wanted to make the payment at the end of last year but the iranian baines were closed for hanukkah. ♪ i'll kill the americans unless you pay ♪ kennedy: do you buy we were on the hook for more than $10 billion if this made it way through the hague?

>> that's a lot of interest payments. they negotiated the interest down. current rates are negative. i don't know how that would play out if we kept holding on to the money. but i think they wanted to put this behind them. and this is all in the backdrop of the iran treaty trying to work through diplomatic channels the bring wrawn back into the fold rather than leave them out as a rogue nation. kennedy: would you say they have successfully been brought into the international fold? >> they had too fly cash -- they had to fly truck loads of cash to iran. kennedy: make the deal, and when they are a party to the international banging system, then you make the payment. otherwise, it's ransom. how is this similar to iran contra to you?

>> we had a nice iranian scandal in the 80s. and we ode them money from 1979? they didn't ask for it while we were shoveling them the arms in the iran contra deal. kennedy: you gave us these arms. we'll put that up towards the $100 million and call it a day. >> what kind of scandal is that? >> how much of a needle nose accountant is our president if he's going, that's $400 million in the ledger. >ledger. >> they should i we are not paying you because the reason we froze the money is because you did something bad. >> and the deal was with the previous regime. kennedy: what would have been wrong with having it make it way

through the hague, and an international tribunal say $10 million. the united states can say that's great, we can gift money to victims of terrorism. >> under sharia law it's unlawful to charge interest. all right. coming up, the party panel returns. the team u.s.a. hockey coach has a message for any player inking about sitting down during "the national anthem." we asked trump's new plan to revamp' the u.s. military. stay here.

kennedy: earlier today donald trump called on congress to lift caps on military spending and increase the defense budget in an address critical of hillary clinton and the obama administration. >> we'll build an active army of 540,000 as the army's chief staff has said, he needs desperately and really must have to protect our country. kennedy: who would be better as commander-in-chief? hillary clinton or donald trump? welcome. obviously you are looking at the speech with different eyes. what did you see today? >> i saw a definite step in the right direction. i saw someone who cares deeply

about the military and rebuilding the military that has been slashed the past 8 years and wants to bring it back up to that level that's great for our max national security. 237 right now i still talk to lots of people who are active duty in the military and they are feeling the budget cuts, especially on the training side at home. kennedy: i think that means they are disbursing the money ineffectively. they talk about inefficiencies and commanders at the top and areas of the military that were so below thed. donald trump did talk about trimming. where do you think the military could be trimmed? >> there is definitely room for lots of fat to be trimmed. one of them is acquisition. there needs to be serious acquisition tree forms and nobody on the political side wants to tackle that.

it's so bureaucratic, there is so much red tape, it's similar to the va system. and that goes into the government defense contract can as well. that's a fine line as well. but that acquisition reform and civilian reform. those are two place whereas they could cut back. kennedy: the f-35 sucked up billions of dollars and what do we see for that in is no reason people on active duty should be feeling those cuts and their family members should have to send them kevlar when they are stations overseas. >> we need to make sure we are getting equipment that the military needs to fight the wars. so i worked with some of the procurement and acquisition side on the division level. sometimes the military is

getting equipment they don't want. kennedy: i heard that as well. donald trump talks about the $320 billion spent on expired laws in this country. there is duplication and overlap. there are people who say hillary clinton and donald trump are not that different when it comes to defense spending. they are going to increase military spending. do you see a differentiation between them? >> i think if we are going to talk about defense reform we have to talk about entitlement reform as well. it's not going to help if we go after one and not the other. there is room for both. >> there is room for your story. you come from a military family, your sisters also serve. your dad, your grandfather. what an exciting journey. "danger close." that's amber's book. kennedy: should dogs be required

to use correct postage when they try to send packages through the mail?

that's an organic chemistry

professor cut a deal, if that student made the shot into the garbage can west coast, he would cancel the first quiz for the class. now the kids will have as much chemistry knowledge as the actors in twilight. it ignited a passion of excitement sport school year ahead. >> science! mostly right. kennedy: topic number 2. jordan is not only filled with the holy spirit, he loved to swim. at his recent baptism he dove head first into his new sacrament. >> i baptize you in the name of the far it, the son and the holy spirit.

he was so excited. he beat pastor do it which may become a new trends. hallelujah. there is another name for this holy belly flop. what is it? >> cannonball coming. topic number three one of the perks of being a television host is meeting new and interesting people. and sometimes animals. here is a sports journalist? boston confront a baby alligator. >> hold it tight. >> i am. i am. >> that's okay. kennedy: it's so not okay.

i don't blame him. allocators are creepy. you may remember a giant gator wandered on to a golf course in the south. it was huge and terrifying. whoa! i would love to see that sportscaster wrangle that bear. he held up the golf course for over an hour by shot him. topic number 4. dogs love presence and packages. we all know that. that's why they get so lippy with mail carriers. they can't wait to open those boxes of goodies. watch this terrier try to make

heads or tails of this box. isn't that good fun? it's not anything good it's a cat. a filthy, vengeful furry spawfn satan. who wants to be the cruel jack in the box who tear rides that dog over and over again. my sweet lord. topic number 5. nature. one of the best things in nature is symbiotic rips like this. look at that. these goats are able to achieve incredible height.

while there the goats scare away trolls. that's the only predator who can attack a rhinoceros in the wild. goats may hitchhike on top of other species without them ever knowing. check your back. there may be a goat riding you right now. since the night is going right. i know. i'm so bad. if you have weird stories you want to see in the "topical storm." i have got four eyes. finds me @kennedynation and instagram, use #topicalstorm. a colorado coffee company is adding a secret ingreed yentd to

make its brew more robust. and the colin kaepernick controversy is spilling into other sports. but one coach is trying to it's scary when the lights go out. people get anxious and my office gets flooded with calls. so many things can go wrong. it's my worst nightmare. every second that power is out, my city's at risk. siemens digital grid manages and reroutes power, so service can be restored within seconds. priority number one is keeping those lights on. it takes ingenuity to defeat the monsters that live in the dark.

kennedy: colin kaepernick has stirred up controversy by refusing to stand during the national anthem at nfl games. but one coach said if any of my players sit on the bench during "the national anthem," they will sit on the bench for the rest of

the game. have nfl coaches been too soft on players who take a knee? >> absolutely. kaepernick is kneeling now. i'm assuming he's not catholic. kneeling is the hardest thing. sitting is the easiest, then standing. kennedy: reclining is easier. >>it is. it doesn't make sense that now he's kneeling. it almost seems more respectful to me, the kneel. it's weird. kennedy: hockey is so wiped. i think this is a very racially divisive issue. we had strong disagreements by the and i have seen on social media this tends to split people along racial lines more so than socioeconomic line as or

religious, and hockey is the whitest all sports. >> that may be true. we are talking about instead of a protest nationally, it's international. so there is an expectation that you represent us and you are on our team. but this is that we are place where spree speech and expression and all these ideals come to conflict. >> we just finished the olympic summer games. can you imagine a u.s. athlete sitting on the podium during national anthem? people would go nuts. >> in the nfl, i believe while you have your freedom of speech, you also enter into a contract with an employer. that's why at sporting events you wear a uniform. so it's not a first amendment issue. and you are representing team u.s.a. no one forced you to be there.

if you have that much of an issue with the national anthem you can express yourself with not being on that team. the full national anthem does have a line about slaves conscripted to fight. you have to go pretty deep into verses that people don't sing. kennedy: do you think kaepernick did? kennedy: big news for coffee drinkers. a colorado startup is infusing its brew with cbd? a non-psycho active chemical found in -- hem'. the founder says it keeps the buzz but lessens the jitters. and turbo coffee has 80 times

the coffee of a regular espresso shot. so gulls some cbd for the jitters. let's talk about this weed and coffee business. i don't know a lot of people who want hemp or mayor wanna in their coffee. using coffee as a chaser for the hemp oil. it's like coffee and red bull. when i realized it was taking the jitters off. kennedy: i think the speed ball, i think it intensifies the effect of both. do you think that turbo coffee should be legal? >> the turbo is no good. it should be legal. don't mess with it. i don't even like cream in my coffee.

i don't want this turbo nonsense. and i don't like going in two directions. they don't do that in ireland, they do it here. they say you want a whiskey, have a whiskey. don't put it in your whiskey. drink your whiskey then drink your coffee. it's not really irish. it's some jerk in america. >> it goes down real smooth with a little bit of folgers. >> i like to start my day with a mix of nyquil and 5-hour energy and let them duke it out. kennedy: thank you so much, tom, joe and glenn. coming up, did hillary clinton spoon feed questions to the democrats before her grilling at the benghazi hearing? june napolitano is here with the latest and i can't wai

kennedy: we are still hearing about this just when you thought hillary's email scandal couldn't get any worse, it does. newly released emails suggests a senior clinton aide fed predetermined questions to nng senator bob menendez. an email reads we wired it. menendez would provide an opportunity to debunk per actions and whereabouts on 9/11 and the email from chris stevens about moving locations. chris stevens was the ambassador to libya who died in the attack along with three other americans.

did they close the investigation too quickly? let's discuss this. it sees as though perhaps the f.b.i. closed the case too soon. where are we hearing about these emails? why are they from? >> the f.b.i. knew about the emails at the time it closed its case which make its more troubling. we know from a document dump that came out the friday of labor day weekend. that mrs. clinton and her people were involved in manipulating senator bob menendez so he would ask her friendly questions as she appeared as secretary of state before the for affairs committee. this is not uncommon. many of these congressional investigations are really a dog and pony show. the witness already knows what the question is, the questioner already knows what the answer will be. what is uncommon is it would be reduced to an email and made public so the senator involved

would be embarrassed. mrs. clinton has not yet been questioned about this. i don't know if senator menendez has. kennedy: as you said, both parties face the same thing. when someone is a republican or democrat, if they go before the committees, if they are republicans were nice. what i'm wondering is about those emails, they were told, hillary clinton and her team were told to preserve them and they were destroyed after the fact. when is that problematic to the point of being obstruction of justice. >> the f.b.i. also looked past this when they closed their investigation. the benghazi committee served notice on mrs. clinton when she was still secretary of state to preserve all document having to do with benghazi. she then leaves office and

begins the process of cleansing the server and losing blackberries, several blackberries were smashed with hammers and the f.b.i. couldn't reconstruct them. the f.b.i. did not present any evidence to a grand jiewr question, did not obtain a subpoena from a grand jury, did not obtain a search warrant from a judge. they did not use three basic law enforcement tools available to it. how could they have known at the beginning of the case they wouldn't need to use these tools during the case unless they were handcuffed from the white house from the beginning and the marching orders from the white house was not get to the truth wherever it takes you, but exonerate mrs. clinton, which is

what they did, if the face of overwhelming evidence of intentional destruction of evidence that had been subpoenaed and the grossly negligent treatment of state secrets which we call espionage. >> those state secrets on those device, not too difficult to track. you can't imagine she had any sort of security code or pass code on any one of those 13 blackberries because she had a hard enough time remembering her own name. >> she sent confidential and secret emails to her friend sidney blumenthal. and those were hacked by guccifer. kennedy: and she was sending confidential emails while she was overseas which is a big no-no. >> she is either dumb, indifferent, or deceptive.

none of which would qualify her for president. but her treatment of state secrets is so reckless, so obviously criminal, that only a political interference prevented her from being indicted. kennedy: you talk about the ignorance alone, saying she was unable to realize the "c" stood for confidential on the emails she was reading when she was explicitly instructed on how to create those markings herself. >> the f.b.i. has in its possession the document. i have seen the document, a two-page oath that she signed day one in office after a 2 1/2 hour tutorial by two f.b.i. agents explaining what all this means. julian assuage told our colleague sean hannity he has emails she sent him where she put the letter "c" in the margin to warrant seer that what she was sending was confidential.

and she told the f.b.i. she didn't know what it meant. we are dealing with a breakdown in law enforcement and attack on the rule of law when the world's premiere law enforcement agency looks the other way. kennedy: she is about to become -- all signs are pointing in the direction i believe they are, she is about to become the most powerful person in the world. >> if you put this in a plot to a publisher, they would reject it as fanciful and not believable. kennedy: great to see you again. welcome back. coming up, a wave of heroin overdoses in ohio makes authorities believe they are adding elephant products to

kennedy: the opioid problem in the u.s. is apparently so bad dealers are cutting heroin with insanely potent elephant tranquilizers. investigatorsed in the philadelphia area say 8 people have thought to have died from the toxic mixture. what should the government do to counter drug fatalities? let's ask katherine mangu-ward. let's discuss this a little bit. carfantanyl. why are drug dealers mixing it with heroin? >> i don't understand the economics of this. if it's an opiate that's super powerful, why not just sell that stuff. but people thought they were getting something, and they got

something different. when we use the word overdose for these deaths, it's misleading. they are poisoning people. somebody lied to them about what was in there. kennedy: there is no way of knowing what's in these substances. you have no idea what you are putting in your body, and that's because of prohibition. >> exactly. you don't hear the story pfizer cut a whole bunch of its drugs with elephant tranquilizers. that story doesn't happen because those drugs are on the up and up. people joke, you crazy libertarians one want to legalize heroin. because it would save lives. kennedy: but instead the problem here is not that legislators and city council members are going to wage and smell the cat food

and realize prohibition is directly leading to death. the worry is they see something like this and they become more ardent drug warriors. >> that's the biggest problem for people who see legalization as the solution. no better fact pattern is, people who want to ban drugs because drugs are bad, see every piece of evidence as more -- another way to buttress their desires. it should obviously be the other way around. if these drugs were from the up and up market. if they were not in the black market. if they bought these drugs from a guy whose name they don't know. kennedy: thank you, katherine mangu-ward.
