"the evening edit" starts now. john: stocks rising, the dow closing up 89 points and the s&p finishing less than 1% from its record. more on your money in just a second. first, this just in. president trump speaking to reuters on a number of topics, including criticizing federal

reserve chair jerome powell and the fed, saying the fed should do quote, what's good for the country. we have the latest headlines from that interview. reporter: i'm everywhere. i'm in washington on wednesday, not today. not today. john: that interview seems to be crazy. there is supposed to be independence of the central bank. reporter: yes. yes. the fed is supposed to be independent. you have right now president trump telling reuters exclusively he's not thrilled with the federal reserve, he's not thrilled they are increasing interest rates. he voiced his opinion before in the past. we know he put out some tweets and have done interviews with other media outlets talking about how the fed shouldn't be increasing interest rates because it will hurt the economy. that's one major point that came out in this interview. he also asked about whether he thought the fed was doing a good job and he responded that i believe the fed is doing what's good for the country.

he was also asked specifically about powell because he picked powell over janet yellen. let's remember that. and he said i will let you know in seven years. these comments come today after over the weekend, just within the last 24 hours, he had a fund-raiser in the hamptons. they raised about $3 million. he specifically told the crowd of politicians and very wealthy people that the fed or mr. powell was not the money man he expected. he's weighed in on monetary policy, where in the past, presidents don't normally do that. john: isn't this going to happen no matter what, whoever became president, whether miss clinton or president trump, had to deal with the rising rate environment and because of that, emerging markets will suffer, exports will suffer and the economy eventually always comes down somewhat with the rising interest rates. reporter: exactly. i think the president right now is facing a little bit harsher compared to what obama went through because you are seeing rates climb five times just ever

since trump came into office, twice under jay powell. like you said, it's a concern because historically, interest rates in the united states with unemployment around 4.1% is still very low. they should actually be higher for following an historical trend. if we see it go higher, that's when red flags will be raised. john: president erdogan in turkey put his son-in-law over the central bank and told him not to raise rates. how is this different? reporter: because erdogan has full control. john: is this why you want independence? reporter: exactly. you are seeing it completely fail in turkey. he thinks that if you increase interest rates, inflation will climb higher, the economy is getting hit. they have double -- over 10% unemployment, inflation is climbing higher than 10% over there as well. here's an example, an extreme example in turkey where you have erdogan weighing in, destroying the economy and so here, the president here is voicing his

opinion. he shouldn't and i will just maybe put it there. he might be using this as a scapegoat because he claimed the economy has been really, really good under him. if he puts it on the fed right now, then once the economy starts to go down, oh, it's the fed's fault because they increased interest rates too quickly. john: thank you very much. good to see you. not in washington, d.c. turning to president erdogan, vowing his country will not be intimidated by the united states. for the latest reuters interview, president trump vowing no concessions with turkey over the detained u.s. pastor. this as shots were fired from a moving car at the gate of the u.s. embassy in turkey. officials saying two people with criminal records have been detained. joining me is european parliamentary member and former leader of the uk independence party, nigel farage. great to see you. i got to meet you in bermuda when boris johnson was resigned, everybody in the world was looking to get you on television. i had the only studio on the

island so you came to the house, you were a perfect gentleman for my wife and i. we got to go fishing the next day. people don't know what a great fisherman you are. what an entertaining two days we had together. >> we certainly did. thank you. absolutely. john: i want to ask you about turkey, about an update on brexit and boris johnson, but i want to ask you about turkey first. you are a member of the european parliament. turkey has always been a bridge from europe to the muslim world, including the air base, as far back as the cold war, was used by nato in case of an attack all the way up to the attacks being launched on terrorism in turkey. those relationships seem to be falling apart. when you have u.s. dollars and lira falling because of tariffs, it looks to me like the only way out for turkey here will be imf bailout. is there anything president erdogan can do to mitigate that before his country goes bankrupt? >> well, the problem is not just economic. you're quite right to say, the

idea that he's blaming donald trump because of tariffs on steel and aluminum for causing all their problems is nonsense. turkey economically has been becoming a basket case for some time. but also, remember there has been a fundamental change in that country. a hundred years ago, modern turkey was formed as a secular state. what you are also seeing is increased islamization and a really big question, not just on whether the imf has to come in but ultimately, is turkey right as a nato ally. there's a very big issue here at stake. john: you're right, it was a managed economy similar to china, not necessarily a free economy. turkey's foreign minister says president trump's decision to double down on those tariffs you mentioned for steel and aluminum hurts that nato alliance. pastor andrew brunson is one of the big issues right here. you also have gulan, who is in

philadelphia right now, who president erdogan says was a cause of the 2016 revolt. he wants him extradited. is there a case if we get brunson back, he gets this cleric back from philadelphia? >> i think if the american authorities think there is some prima facie evidence that warrants extradition, then in those circumstances, a trade is acceptable. but if america thinks that erdogan wants extradition purely to get revenge on a political enemy, then america has to do the right thing. i think it really does depend, is there any proper prima facie evidence but look, we are dealing with, we are dealing with in turkey, a man who has taken his country down the wrong route. president trump being what he is, is the first world leader to stand up to him and i listen to the language today from turkey, you know, we're not bullied by america but ultimately, in a battle like this, frankly, only

america wins. john: people worry about the contagion effect of turkey. you have about $80 billion in spanish banks of turkish debt, about $35 billion in france, $19 billion in italy, but the contagion effect doesn't appear to be when greece was having the problems and they actually went through the austerity measures and came out of it somewhat on the other side because it looked like the euro would break up. italy right now looks like a whale compared to turkey. is italy going to cause either a breakup of the eu, or is italy at least the next big crisis in the european union? >> so greece elected a left wing radical government who said we will not put up with this level of austerity. get a perspective on this. eight years ago, the average pensioner in greece was getting about 1200 euros a month. they are now getting 700 euros a month. you have seen millions of people in greece driven into absolute

total poverty, yet what happened was the new government got bullied by brussels, by the imf, and they did everything they were told to do. they basically let down their electorate. here's the difference. italy, the new government formed by two parties, both of whom i know extremely well, i know their leaders extremely well, let's put it this way. these new italian leaders are the real deal. they are not going to be bullied and kowed by the imf or the european central bank. they will increase their budget above the limit that the german government won, that the ecb won and i think what you are about to witness is a breakdown of discipline within the euro zone. in the past, when brussels and the ecb said you will do this, they in the end said yes. the italians won't do that. i think we are entering into a

new phase where basically, national sovereignty, national government decisions, overrule what the european project wants. you know, what you are witnessing, it may take time, what you are witnessing is the breakup of a political project that was put together without ever having had the consent of the european peoples. john: you are thinking that look, the italians have always gotten out of problems by devaluing their currency. >> absolutely. john: they can't do that now. you are projecting a breakup of the european union. it's the old thing to get out of debt crisis, you add debt to it. it just doesn't seem to work. you think the european union will break up? >> i do ultimately. i think financially, there's a huge gap between the north and the south of europe, but culturally, there's a huge gap between the north and the south of europe. you know, let's be frank about this. i love southern europe, they are lovely people, but they don't exactly work hard.

you go to the north of europe, you go to germany, you find a very different culture. to try and take these different cultures, to put them together in one economic monetary union was, and i said this 20 years ago, never going to work. john: you said recently in parliament they were laughing at you then. they're not laughing anymore. i want to ask you about letting down your electric because you had cameron call an election, it ended up sinking his political career. 17.4 million people voted to get out of the european union. march 29, 2019, that is supposed to happen. now you are talking about soft brexit, hard brexit, all these different terms. you will be talking about a new referendum despite this vote. what happens by march 29th? is this just punting down the road further and is theresa may still going to be the prime minister, or will it be mr. johnson? >> mrs. may's position is very, very weak. the country is increasingly angry with her.

boris johnson resigned. i commend him for doing it. we would be better off with boris than we are with theresa may, but there's an even bigger crisis than that. this building behind me that you can see, the vast majority of people that sit and work in there as members of parliament do not respect the vote of 17.4 million people and are trying to water it down, delay it, stop it or in the case of mr. soros and mr. blair, they would like to make us vote again. all i can say, if they think they can walk all over us in what was the greatest democratic exercise in the history of these islands, they have got another think coming. i'm going to be myself now this autumn, going back on the road, reengaging the public and telling our politicians if you betray us, we will have to teach you a lesson that you will never forget. john: nigel, great to see you

again. thank you so much for coming on the show. >> thank you. john: let's check your money. all three major market indices ending the day higher. the dow up 89 points. susan lee ois the floor of the new york stock exchange with the latest. susan: we had a thin volume trading day on the stock exchange. we saw industrials rallying for a record today. we see railroads, airlines and trucking companies hit record levels. that's indicative of a robust u.s. economy. in terms of individual stock, the day belonged to tesla, recovering above $300 apiece. that's indicative of a short recovery from the musk tweet. that's the latest here from the new york stock exchange. back to you. john: president trump saying he hopes cia director john brennan carries through his threat to sue to keep others from losing their national security

clearance. will that cause brennan more trouble than it's worth? first, president trump honoring the i.c.e. agents and border patrol, saying those that attack them just don't mind crime. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely.

mexican border. you are part of the car doorrid where illegals will come through right there in jackson county. the push to abolish i.c.e., people sometimes get this a little bit wrong. i.c.e. is not on the border but they are the enforcement agency of the border agents. how destructive would this be to the fight or would it be disruptive to the fight against drugs and illegal immigration? >> certainly it would be destructive. thank you for asking me on the show. certainly it would be more than destructive. i allude to these men and women of i.c.e., we are walking with giants on the job these guys do. the threat is real and valid in this country. the threat is valid here. the job that they do is a tremendous asset to this country. i would hate to imagine the resources that we use in texas alone, not counting the other border counties, but the

resources i.c.e. brings us alone, even in the corridor counties, is immeasurable for what we do. proud to walk and stand with those guys any time. john: sheriff, i grew up in the state of texas. great state of texas, we like to say, those of us who are from the state. thank you of course for your service. i understand the fight very well because i grew up on ranches, working on ranches around sweetwater, texas. what do you need, sir? what do you need? is it a wall, more border agents? what do you need on the border in texas, because the geography there, especially in big bend, there are places you can't put a wall but you can put border agents or electronic surveillance. what do you need to stop this problem, specifically immigration, not just for people who are looking for work, but people who are bringing in drugs and other criminal activity? >> it's multi-level, multi-faceted, multi-layered. a wall where it's appropriate. walls are effective. they have worked for a very long time in a lot of countries.

where walls won't work, then technology. technology manpower. you utilize those three in a strategic manner along our borders here in this country, on the southern border, northern border, then you are well on your way to securing this nation and the threats that beset us. john: sheriff, what are you seeing specifically? is it getting better, is it getting worse? what is coming through? you are in that corridor area going up toward houston and up toward more the gulf coast of louisiana. what are you seeing as far as the crime activity that is coming? is it changing, is it getting better, worse, or are you seeing a specific portion of it devolve toward a certain type of crime? >> i'm seeing some specifics for sure. a lot of texas sheriffs, we need to do a better job on the human trafficking aspect of what's coming through this country in the state of texas. we are not as good as we should be in a lot of areas, especially with human trafficking and large truck traffic.

there are some areas we are trying to improve in the state of texas even as we speak. there are things under way with state leadership here to try and do a better job to combat the human trafficking that's going on along our corridors and throughout our state, into other parts of this country. so this is a specific area. methamphetamine in the state of texas is a huge problem. it's pharmaceutical grade right out of mexico, right out of the laboratories of mexico. we are inundated with that. these are some, just some base threats that we face every day in texas law enforcement. john: sheriff, it's great to see you again. thank you for your service. thank you for coming on. >> thank you, sir. absolutely. john: president trump taking to twitter to allege social media companies are discriminating against prominent conservatives. find out what he's saying. former cia director john brennan now threatening to sue the president after brennan was stripped of his security clearance. will he really do it? that's next. 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 fisher invhether y 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.

the doctor's office just for a shot. but why go back there... when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. in a key study neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the day after chemo and is used by most patients today. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to it or neupogen (filgrastim). an incomplete dose could increase infection risk. ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away.

in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. if you'd rather be home ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. pay no more than $5 per dose with copay card.

john: an exclusive interview with reuters, president trump saying he would quote, most likely meet again with north korean leader kim jong-un in an increased effort to convince pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapon. former cia director john brennan saying he might sue to stop other former officials from losing their national security clearance after president trump revoked brennan's last week. the president responding in a tweet saying quote, that he will -- sorry. we didn't have the tweet to start with. let's go to this thing right here. the president responding here. i hope john brennan, the worst cia director in our country's history, brings the lawsuit. it will then be very easy to get all of his records, texts, e-mails and documents to show not only the poor job he did but how he was involved with the mueller rigged witch hunt. joining me, former bush 43 deputy chief of staff, karl rove. great to see you again. thank you for coming on the show. i don't understand this, karl. here you have a former employee.

when most employees leave you don't have security clearance anyway, but if the president has directed to do this, does mr. brennan have a case here and do you think he will sue the president? >> i don't think he has any property right whatsoever to a security clearance. the president is the ultimate, i think the title is the original classifying authority. so the president can remove or grant access to secret information on his own authority at any time. i don't understand brennan's logic. if he goes to court, i don't know of a single law that guarantees him once he's left government that he has a property right to that security clearance. it's granted to former intelligence officials generally as, you know, so that one of their successors can pick up the phone and call them and say i'm dealing with something, i want to pick your brain on it. but i find it hard to believe that anybody in the trump administration has reached out and relied upon brennan for that kind of candid advice over the last 18 months.

john: would it be better if he had a commission instead of the president dealing with security clearance revocation, that way the president doesn't look like, whether he is or not, that he's being political? >> yeah, look, the president does look like he's political here. i wish he hadn't revoked the clearance. there's no information that goes to brennan on a regular basis. this only allows if his successor called him in and said i need to talk to you about this classified matter, that would give him the ability to hear what his successor had to say. but look, i don't -- i think this thing is way overblown. i wish the president hadn't done it. i really wish brennan had not gotten out there and accused the president of being treasonous. i think senator burr, chairman of the senate intelligence committee, was exactly right. if he knew of treasonous activity, he had a moral responsibility to act on it. if he has information about treasonous behavior today, he has the responsibility to come forward and give the concrete information to the senate intelligence committee or other

appropriate officials. it does no one any good, least of all our country, if somebody out there who had such a high position be tossing around these very angry and very sordid and very tough attacks on the president. john: switching gears, when you were in the white house, you were deemed the architect by many people and you inherited with the bush administration an internet boom, then bust. you had 1% gdp in 2001, you put the bush tax cuts in. last time we had 3% growth for the entire year was under your tenure with the administration, 3.8% growth in 2004, 3.5% growth in 2005. the one it seemed misstep that you guys made were the tariffs that he put on in march of 2002 and ended up taking off in december 2003. you got the largest fine in wto history, a sanction they called it, $2 billion. you wind up losing 200,000 jobs and end up taking off the tariffs. even though you thought it through, it turned out to not be the best thing in the interest

of the economy. what is the difference between those tariffs that were enacted in 2002 and taken off in 2003, and president trump's steel and aluminum tariffs right now today? >> well, i would say there are two differences. one is we went through a deliberative process. the president made a referral to the u.s. international trade commission which determined that there were inappropriate trade activities being used by some countries, primarily china, and basically dumping steel inside the united states, producing it at $650 a ton, dumping it inside the united states at $450 a ton. so we found the authority to do what we did on the tariffs to be found in that particular statute, 301, 302 and 303 of our trade laws. president trump decided this was a national security issue, even though the department of defense did not agree with that. he instituted these tariffs on steel and aluminum for everybody, then granted exemptions and did so on the basis of claiming there was a

threat to the continuation of our national security by not having sufficient steel in the event of a national emergency or war. not supported by the facts. he did not go to the u.s. international trade commission and as a result, any time a country takes an action like we did in 2002, 2003, you face the likelihood of somebody filing before the wto and saying you are in violation of these international norms we have decided upon. the president is going to face a similar issue here, eventually somebody will take him to wto and claim there's no national security basis whatsoever for this kind of an action. john: you think the wto will probably respond in kind as well, that they will agree with that? >> i suspect they will. look, let's remember, we are the beneficiary of the world trade organization. the united states files more than i think any other country. we file actions each and every year and we win virtually every one of them. i think the last year i looked at was 2015 and i think there

were like 113, 115 actions and we won virtually every one of them. so it's to our advantage to have an international agreement on what constitutes fair trade and then when countries violate it, we have a venue we can go to. moves a little slowly for my taste, and more importantly, it hasn't been updated in recent years to take care of both things that are now possible because of the internet and also some of the chinese practices which are novel and were not contemplated at the time that the wto set rules, for example, their rule on the way the chinese use trims, trade related investment measures, to force non-chinese companies to give up their intellectual property as a condition of doing business in china, and the chinese government procurement rules, if you want to sell to the chinese government, you have to have a chinese partner and they get access to your intellectual property. john: the biggest thing, i have a very intelligent guy here, very good prognosticator and predictor of future events, this

is a very important question that a texan can ask. you went to the university of texas when earl campbell won the heisman trophy. biggest question of the year, does texas beat oklahoma in the second weekend of october this year? >> i'm sure hoping so, because i'm sick and tired of being called baja oklahoma by the oklahomans who like the fact they have beaten us way too many times in recent years. john: you better believe it. they love to rub it in. i have family from oklahoma so i have been looking forward to football season. karl, thank you very much for joining us. >> i may be in sweetwater doing bird hunting later this year. john: have a great time. democrats ramping up their words on president trump. we will bring you the story. first, president trump calling out social media platforms. have they become too biased against conservative voices? lawrence jones takes up the issue next. ♪ you shouldn't be rushed into booking a hotel.

john: president trump criticizing social media over the weekend, calling out the platforms for censoring conservative thought, tweeting quote, social media is totally discriminating against republican conservative voices. speaking loudly and clearly from the trump administration. we won't let that happen. they are closing down the opinions of many people on the right while at the same time doing nothing to others. his comment comes days after twitter restricted the account of far right conspiracy theorist alex jones.

jones is also banned from several other major tech platforms including youtube, facebook, itunes and spotify. we take it up with laurence jones. thank you for joining us. i want to ask you -- >> thanks for having me. john: thank you for being on. this is an interesting topic to me, because i think alex jones is an utter buffoon. he has a video out there proving michelle obama is a man. this is horribly inappropriate, it's stupid, but that's not illegal. also on facebook, you have the flat earth society trying to prove scientifically that the earth is flat. there's not a law against stupidity. my question is, when does free speech become hate speech? >> well, i don't really believe in hate speech just because it's still speech, it's still protected by the constitution. but at the end of the day, this is also a private business and they can do whatever they want. they can lose audience members, they can lose viewers and users

on their platform. i mean, we just reported a for um wheforum where they just studied intolerance and incivility. that's not a crime. because you think someone is not being civil or tolerant doesn't mean their freedom of speech should be violated. the problem is, this is a private platform. there is no freedom of speech. john: well, this is a slippery slope with social media. once they start choosing which voices can be heard, which voices cannot, the ceo, jack dorsey of twiettwitter came out admitted his work force was biased in terms of being liberal but weren't biased in the work force. he's trying to get in front of this and say our guys are biased but we are trying to figure out a way here and it's going to be an inexact science. do you think what the ceo did by coming out and saying this was getting ahead of it, or do you

worry about the fact that you have reports of a lot of conservatives being banned and this is just an excuse? >> look, they are trying to control what viewers are seeing and put their left-leaning biases to the forefront because they are advocating for a political ideology. but i think the reason why jack is -- he has had conversations with a lot of conservatives to mend this broken relationship, but i don't think it's as genuine as it may sound. the reason is that there are a lot of conservatives on twitter. there are some conservatives on facebook, but there has been many studies that show that the platform of conservatives specifically in media is twitter. there's a lot of dialogue there. so i think that there was a business interest at hand. but again, i would caution, i also don't agree the government should be getting involved in business like this. i'm a civil libertarian. i just believe that's setting a

dangerous precedent, to have the government go in and regulate businesses just because you don't like what they do. i think what is best for my conservative brothers and sisters to do is to build our own platform that really has true free speech. john: lawrence, i agree with you completely. i think most people doch. thank you very much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. john: we have one of the winners of summer slam right here. first, democrats' rhetoric is getting worse. andrew cuomo in a war of words with donald trump. that's next.

and you didn't fool new yorkers. john: new york governor andrew cuomo continues his war of words with president trump. this after cuomo was criticized by both parties for saying america was quote, never that great. president trump saying cuomo was having a quote, total meltdown. cuomo is not the only democrat targeting the president. former congressman hastings telling a disturbing joke at a rally sunday about trump drowning. joining me, stephanie hammill and jessica tardoff. this seems like total free-fall, meltdown, by almost everybody. cuomo says something that will haunt him the rest of his life and it seems to me the democratic party, they can't figure out their identity. seems like they can't figure out whether or not they will go to the socialist, more to the left, come more to the center. it seems like there's no leadership. there's a vacuum there. what's wrong with the democratic party? >> oh. well, we don't have that long.

i'm very thankful andrew cuomo is talking about donald trump and the last 30 years and how he tricked people versus how he was speaking last weekend on a socialist issue. there is definitely an internal feud going on there. there are only 42 democrat socialists actually on the ballot but because of what the media has been able to achieve in promoting bernie sanders and alexandria ocasio-cortez who seems to continually step in it and not know how to claw her way out of conversations about how you will pay for certain things, where i know we will talk about banning the press from a public event and things like that, allows us to focus on it, i see less of democrat potential candidates for president, 35 names, and at this time when you looked back in 2006 we had barack obama already. i think we need to coalesce a lot quicker, at least around six central figures we can focus on who are on message. we need everybody to be saying this is what we stand for on health care, on the economy, this is where we stand on

abolishing i.c.e. or not. it should be not abolishing i.c.e., by the way, if you're watching. hopefully the midterms will do us some favors in that way and we will see natural leadership rise up. we are in a difficult spot in terms of leadership. we are doing well in polls and taking more moderate candidates in the primaries which is a very good sign. john: stephanie, you talk about the history, about the polls, 35 of 38 times since the civil war the president's party has lost seats in the house. it certainly looks like the trend is against the republicans. but when you talk about things that are happening right now, especially with governor cuomo with this horribly inartful at best expression, does stuff like this, is that going to be the main focus coming up in the midterm and does governor cuomo ever get over this? >> yeah, this is going to be a tough one for people to forget. so the new yorkers that already dislike trump, they are not affected by this. now everyone else knows that cuomo thinks america was never

great. has he not been watching the news, has he not been studying trump? this is a feud he can't win. at the end of the day, president trump is like wily coyote with these democrats and they always lose. this hate america message is not a winning message. especially from the cuomos. you look at their great grandfather that came here as a penniless immigrant in 1926. he came to the promised land. the cuomos came here with no money. this is a very powerful family, worth millions. they have the brother, chris cuomo, at cnn. what do these people hate america for? john: i'm sorry, we are about to go to commercial break. i apologize. i will ask you, is hate america right? is that not just a bomb throwing at the other side? it seems like that's completely over the top rhetoric that has no belonging in politics today. seems like governor cuomo misspoke. seemed like he was inartful but to me, to say they hate america, isn't that too far over the top? >> that's how i interpret it.

john: you think they hate america? >> well, they said it was never great. then they go on these tangents about how we are a racist, bigoted country, sexist. as a daughter of an immigrant, i feel empowered in this country. this country has been great to my mother from mexico, who raised a child, me, in this country. i have had so many opportunities. i'm thankful for that. i love this country. >> the cuomos would say exactly the same thing. andrew cuomo was making the larger point about how we still haven't reached our full potential and more greatness is to come, and actually, to draw attention to the fact donald trump's policies could take us backward. the president's slogan is make america great again, if you do recall, which sounds reminiscent of what andrew cuomo -- >> he turned the ship around from obama. john: sorry, guys. we got to go to commercial. got to cut you both off. i think you found out in a nutshell what's wrong with america. it's been a knockout summer for the wwe. we have a winner joining us next.
