we will see what tomorrow brings. we have a lot of the impeachment fronts. markets are split today, down 100 on the dow, record high for the nasdaq. melissa: that does it for us. bulls & bears starts right now. >> i've been told, who knows if this is so, but i think it is so, i have pretty good authority on it, that she's using usmca because she doesn't have the impeachment votes so she's using usmca to get the impeachment votes. david: president trump accusing nancy pelosi of holding a new north american trade deal hostage in order to push ahead with impeachment proceedings. hi everybody. this is bulls & bears. thank you for joinings us. i'm david asman. joining me today jonathan hoenig, jackie deangelis, carol ross and robert wolf. the president calling pelosi quote incompetent for not being able to get the usmca passed while the impeachment hearings now enter their second week. let's head straight to edward lawrence who has been covering

all of this for us. edward, harsh words from the president. >> yes, david, exactly. president donald trump and treasury secretary mnuchin, the agriculture secretary, sonny perdue, as well as two economic advisors made a major push for usmca today. they did some odd 70 between them interviews with local media to put pressure on house democrats in their local districts. the president or at least one democrat now saying that they could see the usmca ratified before the end of the year. >> critical to try to get this done before the end of the year. >> i agree with that. i think it would be a good idea also to -- i think it would help stabilize markets. i think this issue that's in front of the american people now as it relates to trade, where these subsidies going to american farmers, that doesn't solve the problem. >> the administration now thinks that house speaker pelosi is holding up usmca to rally votes for impeachment. pelosi had a meeting today with

freshman democrats in the house. they're starting to pressure her to schedule a vote. >> basically it's being held out because there's 31 democrats residing in trump districts. so in essence is to say, if you go along with impeachment, i will give you usmca vote. you talk about democrats saying there's a quid pro quo and need to change language to bribery, there's nothing like that quite like saying i'm not going to give you a vote on usmca till i get your commitment on impeachment. >> mexico has ratified usmca. canada has signalled they would do so if a vote is scheduled. senior administration official tells me late today that they are still negotiating with democrats to get that vote scheduled as soon as possible. back to you. david: edward lawrence, thank you very much, edward. so will an impeachment make passage of usmca more likely since democrats do need something to show voters in 2020? carol? >> usmca is being held as a political hostage, and i certainly can't imagine that

somebody is going to trade an impeachment vote for it. but that being said, it would be very smart for the democrats to pass it as a shield for the perception that all they are doing in congress is political theater. they need to actually get something done. this would be a way for them to prove they have done anything. i don't care why or how they do it. i just want to see it passed. >> yeah, so one, i'm a supporter of usmca. i need to make that very clear. but there's been over 400 bills passed on the house, sitting on the senate desk to pass. so when we talk about blaming the house, that's ridiculous. i would say secondly, i was recently in washington. i spoke to both republicans and democrats. it seems that there are three or four things still outstanding that neither side have been able to come to agreement on on labor, environment, and some other standards. that being said, it would be great if we could pass it at year end, and i absolutely don't think that the dems are holding up an impeachment vote for usmca. i don't think that's the reason. >> david, if the clinton

impeachment is any guide, if it's any historical guide, then congress is basically going to do nothing, and that is a shame because you've got businesses waiting for this, waiting for the passage of this trade deal, and it should be infuriating to all americans that they are playing politics with trade. you can see how this is working out. you know, trump wants the passage of it. it is in his political interest, but he also doesn't want to it pass because then he can blame the democrats for doing nothing. the democrats don't want to give trump a win but they don't want to look like they are doing nothing. so they are playing politics. meanwhile american business is trying to survive the trade wars and get america's economy rolling. >> it's important to note there are some outstanding issues there. i think the democrats are sort of dragging their feet because they don't really have an incentive to move the ball forward when it comes to usmca. that's hurtful and sad for the country. we talked about who are your constituents? at the end to have day, pelosi -- at the end of the day, pelosi, if you hate donald trump, you are hurting everybody

else by not passing this through. speaking to the stock market side of it, market is down today because it is worried about china. the president is saying i may impose more tariffs if i have to and the market is saying if we can get usmca done, at least, it would be so positive going into the end of the year with china hanging out in the balance. david: it is not just the markets. it is not just wall street, carol. it is also the unions. the unions -- unions want a deal as well. they have a lot vested in more commerce between mexico and canada and the united states. i'm wondering if they are going to be putting the pressure on democrats and maybe that will do the trick. >> i mean, they should be, unions, small business, i mean frankly everyone. this is an important piece of legislation, and it's very frustrating that it is a political football. i know robert says there's a bunch of bills that have been passed in the house, but nothing substantial. this is a major trade deal and something that theoretically both sides should be behind. they should at least bring it to a vote. if there are some issues outstanding, then let people go on the record for that. the reality is we all know if they put to it a vote, it will

pass. that's what they should be doing. david: breaking news on this subject. we're getting news now that speaker pelosi did have a meeting with afl-cio's leader trumka that agreement can be reached on usmca trade deal if trump administration makes it, quote, enforceable for america's workers. is that a big stumbling block, robert? >> it is. so as you know, i was on the a council which is bipartisan. i'm for usmca. i was for tpp. i think i'm to the right of the conservative party when it comes to nonbarriers for the country. this is a very important issue because this has a lot to do with making sure that labor enforcement and wages are being put at the right amount in mexico. so otherwise -- david: raising wages -- >> raising wages in mexico closer to ours so therefore what's called living standards, you know, we don't move businesses offshore because there's a labor arbitrage. that's critical.

that's why said before, there's labor and environmental issues and other issues. i think jackie said it right, if you took an up and down vote, it would probably pass, but i think it could pass, you know, with 75 plus percent of the vote if we had that. it would truly be bipartisan. >> it is not a high priority for them right now. that's really a shame. i mean -- >> yeah, and david, as frustrating as those types of provisions are because they in effect raise the price for those fous here in the states -- those of us here in the states who want to buy cars, congress has pride themselves of being able to walk and chew gum at the same time. if oversight is a responsibility with the impeachment, then certainly so is passing this trade deal which as carol pointed out is so valuable not just to big corporations but to every american. david: jonathan, let me ask you because you are an uber free trader and libertarian as well. you don't like any trade restrictions, but you don't like the government to enforce rules about salaries and so forth,

could you live with the new labor rules in order to get a free trade deal? >> david, i think, you know, as we always say, the market hates uncertainty. at this point, if we're going to have a trade deal, some trade deal, so consumers, producers big and small could have some certainty moving forward. any trade deal would be a benefit -- >> you will not get a trade deal passed without living wages or labor standards. you just won't. that was the most important thing with tpp, making sure if we went to vietnam or indonesia, that we weren't paying 30 cents an hour for labor. it's not going to happen. >> this cannot be renegotiated, and just as you said, if we had an up and down vote, it would pass. the reality is you could pass that, and you could go back and work on that afterwards, but there's no way they are going to go back and try and retrade the deal now. it is not going to happen. >> carol, most things would pass up and down vote. universal background checks would pass on up and down vote. there are a lot of big things being stalled because of

polarizing environment that would pass on up and down vote. david: living wages here are very different than living wages in mexico. and a lot of people would argue that the jobs that the mexicans who are working in the car factories have right now, are actually pretty good by mexican standards. >> yeah, i'm not sure if that's accurate or not. i'm not debating you. i just know that we will continue to ship jobs overseas in the arbitrage of labor and the environmental standards continue to be so onerous on us versus rest of world. that's a fact. that's why we have a trade imbalance everywhere. >> and david, interestingly, this is where the president enjoys a lot of support from the unions, who know that their jobs are threatened by cheaper overseas labor. they are the ones ironically who are in favor of higher wages overseas that keeps the manufacturing jobs here in america. david: i wish we could get a vote. that's up to nancy pelosi. >> do it democrats. david: students at a hong kong university say they are grateful to have escaped violence standoff with police, but they likely now been arrested.

so what happens now? we've got an inside look at the destruction on campus in hong kong. also congress voting this very hour on measures aimed at cracking down on china's influence in hong kong. jim banks from house armed services committee on whether this goes far enough. he's next.

david: the senate is set to vote at any moment on the hong kong democracy act. this bill would end the hong kong special trading status with the u.s. and west china, respects human rights and rule of law in the territory. more on that in a moment. but first the siege in hong kong's polytechnic university coming to a close after a violent day's long stand off. jonathan hunt has the very latest from hong kong. jonathan? >> having worked their way through and around police lines

on tuesday, we spent much of the day on the campus of hong kong polytechnic university and the destruction we witnessed there was truly shocking. take a look. >> we're standing right now in the heart of the university campus and all around us are the signs of what was a very intense standoff, the signs of what was a very violent battle. the barricades built by the students to try to hold back the hong kong police when they came in here over the weekend and the evidence of the fires that were set by those students and the intensity of the flames. they believe that they could hold on for sometime, but eventually water began to run out. food began to run out. and these students for the most part realized that their gesture was becoming increasingly futile, and today they have been giving up in large numbers, but they are not giving up the bigger battle for democracy.

some 24 hours ago, around 100 students remained on the campus. but throughout tuesday, we saw them come out. sometimes alone. sometimes in pairs. sometimes in groups. always arrested the second they set foot off the campus. they were taken away by the hong kong police force. they face up to ten years in prison, if convicted on charges of rioting. back to you guys. david: jonathan hunt, thank you very much. here now is congressman jim banks, serves on the house armed services committee. congressman, thank you for joining us. the senate is voting tonight. it could be voting right now in the hong kong democracy act. it's already passed the house. seems to have bipartisan support. the bill would end hong kong's special trading status with the united states unless china respects hong kong's rule of law and human rights. if it passes, realistically, what impact will have it on china's behavior?

>> this is a significant piece of legislation. it gives the secretary of state broad approval authority over that status. so with this current administration, this is a significant step forward. by the way, this administration, president trump, secretary pompeo, who i was with this morning, has spoke directly about hong kong, this is an administration that's very tough on china, so as long as we have an administration in place who maintains that same spirit, this authority that congress is granting to the president can be significant moving forward. >> jackie deangelis here. i'm wondering what the enforcement of this will look like if in fact it does pass? >> well, on an annual basis, the secretary of state will sign off on this authority and approve whether or not china is respecting human rights and the rule of law in hong kong. so there's a great deal of -- when it comes to that and granting that authority to the secretary of state.

with the secretary of state we have today, mike pompeo, we have no doubt that he will maintain a tough posture on china moving forward. if that changes, after the next election, that could be to be determined. >> congressman, it is jonathan hoenig. thank you for being with us. i look at these totally apocalypse scenes out of hong kong. what can we do to change an authoritarian regime like china? in my estimation, sir, all we can do is stay free -- for most of human history, most of the planet has not been free. america is so novel in that sense. in all you are doing, whether it's using the bully pulpit or enacting legislation, we can't change china, but sir i hope you will do everything you can to keep this country strong and free. >> i appreciate the sentiment. i completely as degree -- i completely agree. yesterday when i woke up and received my stack of newspapers, from the financial times, "new york times," the "wall street journal," all of them had

significant photos showcasing this travesty that's going on in hong kong. what i want to remind the american people is this what an authoritarian regime in china wants to do to americans. this is what a chinese world order would look like, and that's why we need to continue to fight back against bad chinese practices, whether it's the stealing intellectual property, whether it's the military posture that china is building up. it's why it all matters and why i give president trump a great deal of credit for being the first president in my lifetime to recognize the china threat and to do something about it. >> congressman, i think this passed unanimously, if i'm not mistaken in the house. why is it taking the senate so long to pass? and where do you think it will come out of the senate? >> i'm man of the house. i will tell you it passed with a voice vote, broad unanimous support in the house of

representatives. the house spoke loud and clear that republicans and democrats, we all condemn china's authoritarian rule over hong kong, not meeting the spirit of the agreement when the brits turned over hong kong to china and promised -- and china promised in return that they would respect human rights and allow for the self-government of the people of hong kong. so the house spoke loud and clear. i gave up a long time ago in pretending like i know what the school of thought is in the united states senate. but i do -- marco rubio has been a champion. >> do you think there's a chance it may not pass in the senate then? are you hearing anything? >> i don't think it would be coming to a vote -- i don't think it would be coming to a vote in the senate as it will momentarily if the votes weren't there to pass it. i know senator rubio has been a strong champion. he will make sure it gets over the finish line. david: congressman, we thank you very much for joining us. we wish you the very best on

this. it's a noble gesture. we appreciate you coming on to tell us about it. rahm emanuel calling out far left democrats at tomorrow night's debate. why he says they could be squandering a rare opportunity. that's next.

david: calling them out, rahm emanuel slamming far left 2020 candidates sanders and warren for supporting wealth redistribution, calling it a losing strategy. the former obama chief of staff writing an op-ed ahead of tomorrow night's debate saying quote democrats have thrived when championing ideas in the belief that rights come with responsibilities and that benefits are earned through work. if we fail to return to that

agenda ahead of the 2020 election, we risk squandering a rare opportunity. he says devall patrick and michael bloomberg have the solutions to expand prosperity and opportunity. do you think he's right, robert? >> i think a lot of what he says is accurate. i can easily argue why trickle down is not working. i'm not for a wealth tax, though. there's a big difference between being for a wealth tax versus saying trickle down is not working and income inequality is an issue. i think president obama had it right when he said this country is not looking for a revolution. we are looking for incremental change and we need to continue it. i think that spoke very loudly. i think rahm took what the president said last week and kind of proliferated it. >> breaking news out of chicago, chicago agrees with rahm emanuel. this is very very bizarre guys. i agree obviously sanders and warren have losing ideas in general and i don't think they are ideas that can beat president trump. i do wonder in this debate forum

where these ideas are losing but are good sound bites if the moderators are going to let these new ideas get a word in edge wise. i also wonder if they will be delivered boldly enough to take away from sanders and warren and not steal from people like biden and mayor pete and senator klobuchar. >> emanuel might be correct but completely out of step with today's democratic party. like today's democratic party -- [inaudible]. obama was all about you are your brother's keeper. why not redistribute income. what is redistribution? it is taking from people who earned it and giving to people who haven't earned it. capitalism, that is the protection of property rights, that's the only system that's ever brought people out of poverty and that's a system that none of the democrats even the so called centrists like bloomberg and patrick, none of them support. >> even if that's true, the democrats at least most of them are smart enough to know that they need to be more center in order to win an election. and i think that's what this

commentary really is all about. that's why you have new candidates that have stepped up on to the stage. robert was saying a year is a lifetime during the break. in fact it is. so much could happen. it will be interesting to see as these wealth taxes are floated. as we get more in depth of what universal medicare for all means. david: right. >> how people start to feel about it in the party when it realizes we can't win a general election against president trump is going to have to rethink -- david: jonathan, i wish you could see robert. when we were talking, he was shaking his head. >> i think i understand the party probably better than anyone on this panel. david: hold on, jonathan, go ahead, robert. >> jonathan, the silent majority are more moderate. okay? that's how we flip red to blue in 41 seats in the house. that's also how we've won kentucky. let me finish. that's how we've won alabama, louisiana. if you look at the polls, about 57% of the party are more moderate. that's why bernie and warren are

capped today at somewhere around 40%. the polls between them have not changed. there's a big difference between where the electricity is versus where the votes are. >> if there are advocates for capitalism in the democratic party, boy, i hope they speak up because -- >> you speak with me every week on it. >> their ideal is sweden. they want to turn america to sweden. sweden is poorer than most u.s. states including mississippi. that's democrats ideal for america. >> not true, but i will let you finish. >> big government, big redistribution. david: robert, is there any compromise between the statements we played of rahm emanuel saying work is the essence of what the moderate democrat party stands for and those who are for universal salary no matter if you work or not? >> i think if you brought up joe biden, he's talking about kitchen table issues. he's talking about the worker every day. i think it is unfair -- david: is there a compromise between those two positions? >> there hasn't been a

compromise in the primary because in the primary there's a big disconnect between the populist lift and the moderate today. we don't know who is going to win. david: it is a great horse race. >> we'll make it a lot of fun the next 100 days. david: looking forward to it. new developments in the circumstances surrounding jeffrey epstein's death in prison. judge andrew napolitano on what this means for the case going forward. you don't want to miss this. the judge is next. than just free trades? fidelity has zero commissions for online u.s. equity trades and etfs, plus zero minimums to open a brokerage account. with value like this, there are zero reasons to invest anywhere else. fidelity. we're portuguese? i thought we were hungarian. can you tell me that story again? behind every question is a story waiting to be discovered. this holiday, start the journey with a dna kit from ancestry.

but when i started seeing things, i didn't know what was happening... so i kept it in. he started believing things that weren't true. i knew something was wrong... but i didn't say a word. during the course of their disease around 50% of people with parkinson's may experience hallucinations or delusions. but now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid.

the only fda approved medicine... proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinson's. don't take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinson's disease. nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. tell your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. the most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. we spoke up and it made all the difference. ask your parkinson's specialist about nuplazid.

david: a new bombshell in the

jeffrey epstein case. the prison guards that were supposed to be watching him at the time of his death have now been indicted on federal charges for conspiring to defraud the united states and conspiracy to make false records. let's bring in fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. this is huge news, judge. could it open a new door investigating the cause of death because of course there's still a lot of people who don't believe suicide. >> yeah, you know, we were talking during the break about the doctor whom we all know and respect who argues -- david: the best pathologist in the world. >> nobody would dispute that. he argues from the autopsy that he observed, the broken bones in epstein's neck could not, could not have been caused by suicide, could only have been caused by homicide and by somebody who knew what they were doing. who knows what they are doing in breaking bones in somebody's neck, but that's the argument he makes. the government says these two guards who were not very well experienced slept for two hours.

sound asleep. the government is indicting itself. didn't they have a supervisor who knew they were asleep for two hours. during that two hour time period, both video cameras the one outside epstein's cell and the one in epstein's cell were mysteriously not working. then after he dies, they falsified records. they falsified four records, according to the government, according to the grand jury, they engaged in two conspiracies. so the question is, they rejected a guilty plea offer from the government, meaning they are not telling the government anything. david: they are pleading not guilty? >> they are pleading not guilty. and they are probably going to be tried. they could get five years in jail for each record that they falsified. you are talking about 25 years in jail for these guys that have only been guards for a couple of years and probably did what they have been getting away with for years. i don't want you to misread this. i have a lot of experience with jails, from the people i have sent there. guards always fall asleep.

but for two hours? and lying about it in the case of a death? you have seriously compounded this. >> judge, look, epstein obviously i mean, i don't know if there are bigger creeps, unbelievable creep, but i know you would agree, judge, that nobody should be murdered in jail. not jeffrey dahmer. why are so many people it seems getting murdered in jails now? that number is at the highest on record. what's going on? >> there's no political base for prisoners. people will just turn the page and go on to the next case. nobody cries -- sheds a tear. i will tell you who cried over this, not literally, but was furious but the attorney general of the united states himself, personally supervising this prosecution in the hope that it will shake loose something. >> judge, this sort of breakthrough, in this case, does it lead us any closer in terms of really understanding what happened that night? or do we have to accept that there are certain times in life when so many powerful people are involved in something that the

criminal justice system is not going to get to the bottom -- >> the only thing it leads us closer to is the gross mismanagement of that jail. because if they did as the government claims they did, the government itself is at fault for nobody knowing that they slept for two hours. could you sleep on your job here for two hours without anybody knowing about it? of course not. first of all it is too loud here. [laughter] >> judge, it's carol roth. you know, if you wrote this as an episod of hollywood tv show -- episode of hollywood tv show, they would reject it and say that's completely not believable. >> right. >> has anybody tried to reach out to maxwell, the madame, the accomplice allegedly of jeffrey epstein? it seems like she's a big link here. i have heard absolutely nothing on that. >> i don't know the answer to that, if anybody has tried to reach out to her. i do know she's involved in all these defamation suits that are going on, involving some very prominent attorneys, some whom we know well. i don't want to mention their names.

she's involved in those. whether fbi agents have reached out to her, i don't know. david: jonathan wants to take a turn. i've got to ask quickly. is the fact that they pleaded not guilty, and that they didn't make a deal, that they were offered by the government, does that mean that maybe they had something that they could bargain with, some information about what else went on that night? >> i would think so, david, without trying to sound conspiratorial because they are facing so much time in jail, and they are willing to confront all that time, they must have something in their back pockets. >> judge, i want to ask you in the moments we have left about this as well. in california, the new york attorney general's office, they are suing juul labs. they are accusing the country's largest e-cigarette maker of using deceptive marketing to entice millions of young people to use its vaping products. judge, i have to imagine this is going to be major repercussions for juul when it comes to, i don't know, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars at the end of the day? >> you know, juul is a lawful product that is licensed by the

fda. however, because tobacco is so heavily regulated, not only is the product licensed, those of us who love the 1st amendment hate this, the advertising is licensed. so the allegation is that juul did not comply with the rules with the fda imposed on it for advertising. basically the state of new york is saying the feds dropped the ball which is why we're suing to enforce federal law and new york state law which is even stricter than federal law when it comes to targeting children. >> it's clear that the advertising campaign was -- i think it would go to a lot of different ages that could like it. >> you know, in that complaint, bob, there are pictures in that complaint. they are clearly aimed at 12-year-olds. >> they have dropped the ads. >> they have dropped the ads. now it seems like the administration is going back on making menthol vapes and flavored vapes illegal -- the

attorney general is going one way. and you have the executive branch going another way all of a sudden. >> yes, you are exactly right. they are not looking for damages here because this is the state. the state hasn't been harmed. they are looking for an order requiring them to comply with the fda. the state judge is going to tell these people to comply with federal rules? that's where we are. david: judge andrew napolitano covering the waterfront for us. thank you, judge. a new antimeth ad campaign out of south dakota sparking confusion and controversy. governor kristi noem taking on the critics. she will join us next. >> meth is not someone else's problem. it's everyone in south dakota's problem, and we need everyone to get on. >> i'm on meth. ression. but shouldn't somebody be listening? so. let's talk. we're built for hearing what's important to you, one to one. edward jones. it's time for investing to feel individual. more exciting than

than getting a lexus... giving one. this is unbelievable! >>it really is. the lexus december to rembember sales event lease the 2020 rx 350 all wheel drive for $419 a month for 27 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

>> i'm on meth. >> i'm on meth.

>> i'm on it too. >> so am i. >> so am i. >> i'm on meth. >> meth is not someone else's problem. it's everyone in south dakota's problem. and we need everyone to get on it. >> i'm on it. >> i'm on it. >> i'm on it too. david: wow, that's surprising antidrug ad being rolled out in south dakota, have some critics questioning the message. south dakota's governor kristi noem joins us by phone. governor, it grabs your attention. are you concerned at all about kids in the ad saying i'm on meth? >> you know, it was meant to be provocative. this is an ad campaign that we put together that we knew exactly what we were doing. we need people to look at this issue and take ownership of it. it is an absolute epidemic in south dakota, while most of the

national conversation is on opioid. overwhelmingly it is meth that's destroying our families. it is meth that's filling my jails and court systems. it is putting kids in foster care. the old dare programs in our schools aren't going to fix this issue. i need every single person in south dakota to recognize this problem and help get on it. >> governor, it is carol ross. unfortunately i have a sense of humor of a 10-year-old boy and when i saw i'm on meth, my reaction was to giggle. do you worry that despite your intentions, that perhaps it might have the opposite connotation and people don't take it seriously despite the serious message and the serious problem you are portraying? >> no, i think that obviously we've seen a lot of jokes on-line, and we saw twitter go after us, but this isn't a joke. you know, i have spent three years talking about meth and the damage that it does to people, and nobody was talking about it, until i started this ad campaign, and now for the last two days, obviously we've seen a

ripple effect where people who have never talked about meth before are now having that conversation. so, you know, i think a lot of people are trying to make it into a joke and giggle about it, but it was something that was going to grab their attention, but if they go to that commercial, there's no way you watch that commercial and don't come away recognizing the seriousness of the situation. >> governor, your state certainly seeing a bulk of the problem, an up tick in meth use in people ages 12 to 17, double the national average, and also i have read that people in the state seeking treatment for addiction has doubled. do you think an ad campaign like this will raise enough awareness to make sure that the people who need to seek that treatment will increase even greater? >> you know, it will. when i was sworn in as governor, i put together an entire package on attacking meth. treatment and more options in the state for this specific drug and the damage it can do, but

also interdiction, putting more highway patrol and agents out there to stop those who are trafficking the drug. this is only part of a whole package that we're bringing forward. something else you touched on i want to mention is there's incredible shame around addiction. people don't ask for help because they are ashamed of the situation they are in. the more we talk about this and start the conversations around the kitchen table, the more we talk about it at the gas station and grocery store, the more people may say you know what? this is an issue. i have a friend that i think has this problem. maybe i will start that conversation with them and get them help. and that's really what this whole campaign is about. we have had -- we spent less than $500,000 on this campaign. and already in the first 12 hours of the campaign, being rolled out, we've gotten close to -- in the first 12 hours, about 43 million dollars worth of free coverage on the campaign, in the press. we've had over a billion dollars -- or a billion different impressions made out there. you know, we knew it would be

provocative. we knew people would talk about it. but that's what we have to do to aggressively go after this problem that we're dealing with. >> governor, let me just say thank you for making this an issue that we all need to continually see every day. i'm big on gun reform. when i see psas like something like this, i don't really get it. but i know social media makes it viral, which means we're talking about it. so the creative advertisers who do this know what makes it catchy. when i was watching, i didn't get it. all i know is the governor is saying it is going viral. people are talking about it. that's really the bottom line is we need the awareness. >> robert, let me push back and governor thank you for being with us. governor aren't you kind of running a risk here? i mean south dakota is known for so many wonder things, the bad lands, mount rush more, the corn palace, by this campaign, free advertising, but aren't you running a risk in associating your beautiful state with being

with people who are on a lot of meth? >> you know, we have -- we're leading the way in so many areas. i told people this. i told them they made me governor, that i expected south dakota to be an example to the nation. we are such a small state. we don't have a lot of people. we're special. we have the best state to do business in. we've got strong families and communities. if anybody can go after a drug situation like this, south dakota can do it and actually win and be the model and in the case for how you go after this as a community. you know i walked into a restaurant about a week and a half ago, and a lady came in there with her two little kids and she was high on meth. every single person in that restaurant ignored her and tried to pretend that they didn't see what was happening there. the kids didn't have their clothes on properly. they were dirty, hungry, skinny, and that's what i'm trying to change. i'm trying to stop people from looking the other direction. i want people to walk up to

individuals like that and say can i get you treatment? can i be a mentor, walk alongside you? the kids don't deserve that situation. we can't raise successful individuals if we ignore that. david: meth addiction is a plague. no question about it. we wish you the very best. some people may have complaints about this ad but if it does good in raising the attention level this addiction deserves, we credit you for that. governor, thank you very much for joining us, kristi noem from the great state of south dakota rg we appreciate it. >> thank you, have a great night. david: you too. let's see what's coming on evening edit tonight with elizabeth macdonald. >> thomas homan joins us tonight, fireworks again, he's pushing back again against democrats attacking the trump administration's border security policies. homan telling lawmakers on capitol hill, do you want to know why there's a border crisis in look in the mirror. we have the justice department slamming fired fbi agent peter strzok. he's trying to get his job back
