monkey on the loose in the parking lot. employee tries to corral the monkey, that's when the owner says hey, not my monkey. they're trying to figure out whether or not the woman was registered to have a monkey in the state of ohio. we can't make this up. martha: have a good day, on kelly file. jenna: we start off the battle for a key swing state as donald trump focuses on wisconsin today. hope you're off to a great month so far, i'm generally. eric: i'm eric shawn in for john scott. with the presidential nominee lost wisconsin in the primary to ted cruz, now wants to keep that from happening again against hillary clinton so he's pulling out all the stops in a swing through that key state. we got a fundraiser set for less than one hour from now, held in a cross for the town hall later today. with our own sean hannity,

that will happen in milwaukee with that fatal shooting an unarmed man by active american police officer has led to those rights there in recent days and all this comes on the heels of mister trumps major foreign-policy address in ohio yesterday. jenna: john roberts traveling with the campaign, joins us live in wisconsin with more. reporter: he has got a big rally in west and wisconsin tonight as well, that is 30 miles north of milwaukee. law and order will be a big focus of that, he will talk about the events in milwaukee over the last few nights, talk about the root causes of what happened both from an economic and police standpoint and he will talk more about his plans to combat isis and radical islamic terrorism he laid out yesterday. donald trump reiterated his plans for strict pieces from countries or at least the issuance of visas or countries from which there is a hotbed of terrorism as well as a new plan that would be to implement an ideological

test for people who want to come into this country, either immigrants or long-term these holders and there's also the issue of enforcement at home here's what trump said earlier. >> the support networks for radical islam in this country will be stripped out and removed one by one, viciously if necessary. immigration offices will also have their powers restored. those who are guests in our country that are preaching hate will be asked to return home immediately and if they don't do it we will return them home. reporter: wisconsin is certainly a state that donald trump would like to flip, it hasn't voted for a republican since ronald reagan in 1984. trump remains substantially behind in the polls although he is about 9.4 points behind hillary clinton.

rants previous the chairman of the rnc is a native wisconsinite. he ever at every turn tries to help donald trump with his message on the road and governor scott wants her water had this advice for donald trump earlier today on fox and friends. >> if donald trump can keep the focus on her and give speeches like he did yesterday where he clearly lays out a very presidential approach as to how he's going to address important issues like this purity and safety of our nation he can win. if he gets off on other issuesit becomes more difficult . people are ready for a change. americans are ready for a change. hillary clinton is not a change agent area. reporter: that was a subtle suggestion to donald trump to avoid taking the bait on every little warm that the democrats had in front of him, focus like a laser on hillary clinton area walker says that's the way you win the election is take on your opponent one on one and not the way any other distractions that come your way. jenna: we'll see if donald trump take the advice.live

in wisconsin, thank you very much. the debate over national security is heating up on the campaign trail after donald trump laid out his plan to fight isis, a plan that includes tighter restrictions on immigration. >> we should only admit to these country those that share our values and respect our people. in the cold war, we had an ideological screening test. the time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today . i call it extreme that in. i call it extreme, extreme bedding. >>. jenna: joining us now, a publisher at campaign and elections magazine which is exactly the topic we are talking about. it's nice to see you again . less than 24 hours since donald trump delivered this speech. overall how would you grade the speech? a success, failure, neutral? how do you think it's being

received? >> it was a clear attempt by donald trump to be more substantive than he has been on this topic today. clearly, that's in response to critics not only on the right who have urged less bombast and the more sort of restraint and substance when he talks about terrorism and foreign policy and to critics on the left, the clinton campaign and pretty much every democrat on the stump who is hammering this government issue and continually questioning whether or not donald trump has the temperament to lead on the world stage so i that standard and by the standard we judge and have been judging donald trump teaches and campaign appearances he was certainly more substantive yesterday, he was certainly a bit more restraint and he has been. jenna: 'sattack on hillary clinton is a record, pointing to for china secretary of state. how effective of an attack is that? >> this is what donald trump has got to focus on, you look at the polling most recent fox news pulling on this

question of terrorism from earlier this month showed both candidates lot in a dead heat in terms of which candidate voters trust more on this issue of terror.so donald trump certainly has an opportunity here. i think when he has to overcome quite clearly is the temperament issue and he's got to do rollback the tendency that he has very often had to sort of go off on tangents, respond to any criticism that comes his way from the clinton campaign or democrat. he did that yesterday. i think he certainly did yesterday more than we seen him do it. if he can continue that and keep on that track and keep getting hillary clinton on her record, keeping her on her issues and critically actually take his plan to american voters, run some television ads, do some online advertising, he's got the resources, he's got to get his message directlyto voters, he hasn't done . jenna: he hasn't as you mentioned. we look at where is getting

his money and there's a big question as to where he's investing. you call hundreds issue, hillary clinton and joe biden a different way of describing what they call on a close weakest points. let's listen to their criticism. >> there is no doubt donald trump is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be president of the united states and commander-in-chief . >> my son bo served for a year in iraq, came back a highly decorated soldier. i must tell you, i must tell you had donald trump been president i would've thrown my body in front of him, i really need it. to keep him from going after judgment based on trump's decision. >> we talked about trump's attacks on his opponent, what you think of their attacks on him? how effective? >> politically is exactly what the clinton campaign needs new because they know that hillary clinton alone at the top of the ticket frankly is not enough to stir the sort of product based turnout

they need to be really strong in the places that she needs to run a vote totals. this is not barack obama at the top ofthe ticket . unquestionably in 2008 and 2012 rock obama was tremendously effective at generating enthusiasm among the core democratic base. minority voters came out in enormous numbers for president obama. there's a great concern among democrats and within the clinton campaign be seen that that she alone is not enough to generate the essence of part of this is relying on this constant trump critique of here is somebody who's temperamentally unfit, who should not be sitting in the oval office to drive that democratic turnout, particularly young voters who as we saw during the primary season went overwhelmingly against hillary clinton. jenna: also they had come over to donald trump. the question about those young people and where they

are going to go, i'm curious about this question of national security as it plays out for both candidates over the next months . arguably republican and democratic administrations have not beensuccessful in rooting out terror . it's still a problem and it was a problem for both parties so you either candidate really own this issue and is this going to be a central issue as we move on through the campaign? >> i think it certainly will and your life, neither candidate owns this issue and you will pulling and pulling consistently suggests that neither hillary clinton or donald trump owns the issue of terrorism, there's not a significant advantage there for either one of them so for donald trump, it is the biggest question of whether or not he can turn what was a more substantive policy oriented speech yesterday into actual messaging on the campaign trail, this in front of voters, do some paid advertising and whether hillary clinton can effectively continue this drumbeat of donald trump as temperamentally unfit. that's how this issue is going to play out from now until fall. jenna: you so much for your

time today, always a pleasure to have you and keep it right here on foxnews for an exclusive. donald trump holds the town hall with our own sean hannity in milwaukee wisconsin, 10 pm eastern time here on the fox news channel . eric: new developments to tell you about in the battle to take up a radical islamic terrorist of isis in syria. for the first time russian warplanes taken off from a base inside iran to bomb troops. which indicates that karen and moscow are increasing cooperation to battle their ally. what does this closer and ran russia link really mean? howard reports now in our middle east bureau. reporter: this is further evidence of that growing economic political and military relationships between tehran and mascot. according to russia's ministry of defense, long-range russian bombers

and fighter jets took off from an airport in western iran began to attack isis positions in syria. the aircraft took out fighters in both aleppo and libya. this is not the first time russia has used bases in karen. they have reported in the past the use aces to refuel and also supplies back and forth but it is believed for the first time that russian jets have taken off directly from iran to launch isis attacks against isis fighters and rebels in syria.in the past russian jets have had to fly these long-range bombers some 2000 kilometers to attack isis and other rebels in syria from russia. by doing this now from karen it drops the distance down to about 700 or so kilometers. obviously saving both time and money before the russian government and also sort of an ability to launch more attacks more quickly. this comes as russia and tehran have begun to increase theirrelationship , they sign an agreement, they both obviously back syrian

strongmen assad but it also comes at a time when both russia and the united states seem to be at least unofficially working towards an agreement on how to fight isis together while maybe not on the same page, there is some coordination in the last few months about how both countries will attack isis. this all obviously is going on as the assad government is moving against rebels, both isis and non-áuntran4á in aleppo and in a few places so what you're seeing is this multi prong fight not only against isis but also against rebels. the assad government obviously depends heavily on both rad and on russia and that support is wrapping up more and more as you are seeing with these bases now and the use of these bases in iran. eric: colin powell, thank you so much. jenna: an important story abroad. at home, friends and family remembering a 27-year-old

[cheering] jenna: crews still assessing the damage and evacuation orders remain in our effect but the progress report on the fire live. thanks to better weather, the fire did not grow yesterday. crews now have a 20 percent contained. a big jump from yesterday when it was five percent contained but many who had to evacuate when the fire raced

eric: it's been a decade long world war ii mystery but now a team of exploiters thinking may have found the so-called nazi gold train and they are digging it up. is it possible the legend of buried treasure is actually true? vice president nominee tim kaine has a warning for his fellow democrats. he says don't take this election for granted area . we sing out loud here. siriusxm. road happy.

(announcer vo) you can commute. (man on radio) ...40! no flags on the play! (cheering) (announcer vo) or you can chest bump. yo commute, we got serious game. siriusxm. road happy. jenna: asserts underway for a

legendary nazi train said to be filled with gold as explorers resume digging in poland today looking for the treasure despite decades of failed searches. legend has it a train carrying gold disappeared in a mountain tunnel as the germans escape on the advancing russian army at the end of world war ii. authorities say there's no evidence the training ever existed and last year

scientists using magnetic equipment determined there is actually no train buried where these folks are digging but the search team insists there's something there. we will follow this story and let you know if they find anything. more on that when we get it. eric: that's fascinating. resident obama and vice presidential nominee tim kaine trying to temper expectations among democrats who think lori clinton has this race so not but there warning as yogi berra used to say it's not over until it's over this is going to be a close race, i predict. we are looking good in some holes right now. we're looking good in some holes in north carolina right now. i love them. [applause] i love them. but you just got to remember, this has been a season of surprises. primary that were supposed to go one way went another way, hold that said something was going to happen, something else happened. hundreds that made a prediction got it wrong . eric: let's take a look at

the new washington post from virginia that so shows mrs. clinton up by 14 points and that key battleground states. if so what why is senator tim kaine saying this race will be so close? jessica ehrlich, former congressional candidate joins us. let me start with you. is senator tim kaine on the level or is he trying to gin up the base?>> i talked about this on my twitter this morning. if you look at the news day after day it appears the media is already crowning hillary clinton as the winner. this is good for us, your wife. we see after election after election when candidates and parties get comfortable as they had time and again, already putting in rip sign on donald trump, they don't show up to vote in this election especially democrats

have a visceral hate in some cases for hillary clinton as well as republicans and in addition to that people don't trust them so i say the republicans will come out in force and fight whatever the media says in favor of donald trump and if people believe clinton has already won, will show up. eric: you think jenna has a point, the super back that support hillary has already put out there from virginia, from colorado, pennsylvania. is there a possibility the democrats become too overconfident? >> i don't think so. that's why you see not only senator tim kaine but president obama remind everyone time and again to make sure there's going to be a huge ground effort because most of these states while there are states like virginia where the lead has increased to double digits we are still in that margin of error between four and five points with hillary clinton leading so it's definitely going to be a major ground effort. we got three months to go every seen time and again in the last two years, anything can happen in this

presidential election. it's really been remarkable. however i think it's more relieved that therepublicans are sort of doing the rip sign on donald trump in many ways . and trying to, they've been saying it themselves. having emergency meetings and trying to focus on down ticket races because they see that as one of the main challenges . >>. eric: let me show you a couple holes. this is in florida and ohio. is it really that far apart? this is florida. mrs. clinton is up by five points. that's not 15 points. and in ohio she's up by just four points, that's not a lot. you think trump can make up the difference? >> this is the thing that paul isn't showing is the fact that there's another candidate in this race called jill stein who takes away from hillary. when you add in jill stein and gary johnson it puts them statistically tied. this in spite of some of the mistakes that donald trump

has made that tells you people just want a reason to vote for donald trump and we have to continue to give them to him. this will be a very close election but i disagree with what jessica said in the point that democrats, i'm talking democratic voters are becoming very overconfident and their believing hillary clinton is going to win because theybelieve donald trump is going to be this guy to be . we saw that the other candidates that wasn't the case. eric: boston globe thinks that trump is the easy guy to be. as the presidential election essentially over? this is what they are asking. they are saying with 64 days ago the election might essentially be over barring something unforeseen. every day that goes by without trump shaking of this campaign is one day closer to clinton becoming the next president. is when the new england patriots have a ball with a 70 point lead midway through the third quarter, it's possible the other team could come back but it's probably time to turn off the game and break the lead. is that fair? or just premature? >> i think it's slightly premature but we've seen this time and again where all the

publicans pundits are saying the numbers are such that you've got twins states that mitt romney did not win and trump is suffering so much with nonwhite voters right now numbers wise, as we seen over and over in the primary election, this election comes down to sheer numbers and the electoral college and which of the state is going to be able to win. florida historically the past three election cycles, a very slim margin even for president obama, it's one of those. obama ohio, it's one of those states that have to be black but there are a lot of states that are critical that we've been monitoring the last few weeks. they keep tightening in favor of hillary clinton. with latino and african-american voters, trumps numbers are so low. it's going to take a huge effort. eric: they say that hillary already has sewn up 288 electoral votes, enough to win.

>> we have a whole lot more ground to cover, we've got three months and a lot of debate in which donald trump has got to show why he's got to be president as he did yesterday with his foreign-policy speech. in addition to that, in terms of making up the ground when it comes to minorities, the rnc hired some folks, ashley bell being one of them to oversee the african-american outreach. they hired hispanic staffers as well so we are putting infrastructure in place to get those voters. of course with any republican there is not a huge amount of minority voters that you generally get but i think we have some ability to make up around especially considering the fact that hillary clinton has a history with african-americans that has been positive area i'mtalking about the 94 crime bill, i'm talking about calling african-americans super predators . she believes she can get away with it so as long as we continue to bring up those things i think we can build a stronger case in terms of getting black support . eric: boston globe would say you are on the 30 yard line now.

>> is it too little too late? eric: we can always punt. right? gianna and jessica, thank you. >> i don't think punching is viable but that's a nice football reference there. thank you. eric: you know about that? >> thank goodness we are almost too football station. the death toll writing from flooding disasters in louisiana. there is danger and live thoughts extreme weather center more on what's happening in this part of the country plus the pentagon

i have a lifetime of experience. so i know how important that is. jenna: thoughts extreme

weather alerts as the death toll rises to eat in the louisiana flooding disaster. a system that don't nearly 2 feet of rain in that state is on the move but there's danger of even more flooding because of the sheer volume of water flowing toward the gulf of mexico. our meteorologist is live thoughts extreme weather

center with more . >> we are expecting to see more rain out there and flooding that's going to continue for several days and what's going on here is the storm system is extremely slow moving as the frontal boundary that's tapping into a lot of that moisture across the gulf of mexico and is streaming at northward. portions of texas getting in on that heavy rainfall but eventually across louisiana we should be seeing that rainfall pick up in intensity as well. here's a look at the forecast . several more inches of rain on the way, potentially more than four inches of rain across portions of louisiana because of this we still have concerns for flooding . that across portions of eastern texas and extending further west to cities like austin and also san antonio and because of this we have a number of watches in effect and several warnings out there. the river flooding as i mentioned a big problem out here as well. many areas reporting major to moderate flooding and it is forecast to potentially get worse or last four days across these areas so that's something else to watch out for. further north across parts of the great lakes and midwest,

flooding going on there as well and in the northeast we will need that umbrella today and watch out for the potential for severe weather, damaging winds, large hail and even tornadoes possible for places like new jersey , extending into vermont and upstate new york. jenna: thank you. eric: there's fallout today after major transfer from the us attention center at guantcamo bay in cuba with 15 detainees just released to the united arab emirates area they're calling it the largest detainee release under president obama so far and that leads 61 detainees remaining there is the deadline looms for the president to keep his promise to close gitmo down. reserve intelligence officer with the office ofnaval intelligence and a senior fellow at the program on national security and foreign policy research . good to see you. how troubled are you by these new releases? >> you know, just a point of clarification. it's important to note that there's a naval base at your bow, not guantcamo bay and there's a task force, the naval base is one of the

oldest continuously operating military facilities the united states has. in this case were talking about eventually shuttering a task force which is a smaller facility located on the base. insofar as releasing prisoners, it comes down to a numbersgame. were down 60 people. the cost on average is $3 million a year to warehouse these folks . versus 80,000 to do it at a super max in the state. what are we going to do with them?are we going to keep them here indefinitely? it's an open ended question. eric: you think they should be resettled to super max? >> i don't think they should be brought to the united states. i think the supreme court settled in this and said that detainees don't have the full breadth of rights as us citizen, they have a right to habeas corpus area so what are we going to do? are we going to let them have trials or as president obama set up this intermediate

which is a review board to look at this and say we deem these people are correct. can we rehabilitate them? can they be essentially warehouse somewhere else? the level of recidivism here but on the other hand ... eric: let me stop you on the level of recidivism. the white house says only seven have returned to the battleground, they say five percent. but look at somefigures from the dni. this is a report earlier this year, look at this period of 676 release, 204 have been confirmed or suspected , they call it reengaged, resorting to terrorism or the battlefield . that's one third . 30 percent go back to want to try to kill us. >> absolutely. i want to make this clear, i'm not advocating these are people should be walking in civilized ascites, i agree with you on that. the question is where we physically keep them and there's a question about look, guantcamo bay, right or wrong it's got political connotations.

it was open september 11. worldwide is not viewed in a positive light. at this point we are down to 60. 15 of those, 15 or 17 of those people have been designated as high-value targets, they're not going anywhere. we're talking about down to 30 or 40 people left . they been in there for 14 years. could we potentially gain a little bit of political ground by putting them somewhere else? i think so. eric: but what if they are former detainees and resorting to going and killing other americans? paul lewis who is the liaison to gitmo, let me tell you what he said to a congressional committee.he said what i can tell you unfortunately, there are americans who have died because of one mode detainees. when anybody dies, it's a tragedy. we don't want anybody's die as a transfer of detainees

however if the considered judgment of this administration that we should close the facility. what they're doing is keeping it open, emptying it . maybe they will send some to super max but the rest are going back and in some case resorting to killing us. >> i totally agree with you. i don't think these are people that we should just open the door and say you you had a nice run here, you are rehabilitated, go out there and do your thing. on the other hand they get screened and the panel says the lawn. remember the talent and five? they were trying to resort back to threatening actions, whatever that means but did that really work? >> i think, listen. this is a big problem with intelligence. we are a nation of laws. at a certain point they had habeas corpus. that's the supreme court's letter of the law. a certain point they have a right to request why am i being kept here? have the government present the case for detention. we're kind of up against,

with our back up against the wall. i don't know there is a good solution here. i don't think guantcamo bay should be shut for political expediency. on the other hand, so the mayor weighed in on this. how can we keep these people legally and perhaps if we can't, then an intermediary where they are actually put somewhere where they can be watched. i'm not suggesting there opened up to society but they can be put in a quote unquote rehabilitation center which we would hope is a closely watched half way home house. that may be a better way to do this and the other question is what's going happen with isis? are we going to start taking people off the battlefield and bringing them here? that's an open-ended question, where are they going to go? eric: thank you for your insight. it seems as we empty gitmo, some will be coming here to the united states and we will watch. thank you. jenna: team usa bringing the gold from rio this month but did you know before michael phelps there was an american brought home 24 gold medals and never competed in analytic sports.

out ofthat happened? you will recognize the name and we will tell you who it is after the break .

usa's transferable this month, we were remembering the man who laid the groundwork work for american success in the olympic games. here 24 gold metal never stepped on the field and his leadership motivated the american team to victory and arguably change the course of competition for our country on the international stage. with this man? this man is a familiar name, general douglas macarthur. did you know that? let's bring in parker herman, historian and fellow at the heisman institute and author of the new book douglas macarthur, american warrior. hugo wrote a great piece on fox.com about this and sparked my interest. i wanted to make sure our viewers heard from you as well. how did general macarthur get involved in the olympics? >> it was in some ways a matter of accident in 1927,

as they were gearing up for the summer olympics in amsterdam, the president of the us olympic committee said he died so the members of the committee were scrambling a while, who are we going to get and they said could be better than a general? general who could lead the team only a general would lead his forces into battle. in this case on the battle on the playing field. and macarthur already had a reputation as being someone who was very pro sports, he when he was superintendent at west point he organized intramural sports there, he really become caught on as a sort of fashion for schools and universities. here he was a man with enormous abilities in that regard and he was somebody who i have to say, he was somebody who took this mission as seriously as he would any kind of military combat mission. jenna: i'm curious about that because here's a man, a world war i hero already and he has a big career, was he looking

forward to taking this position, did he want this position? >> very much so. he was in between things, his marriage had fallen apart, he was free to do what you like but you love sports, he loved leadership and inspiring sports and athletes and that's the job he took with them when they went off to amsterdam for the olympics . jenna: we are mentioning this middle riddle of the american 124 gold medals but never stepped on the field. this is general macarthur who did this. tell us about the process for the 19 2018 and why what he did for that team is so notable. >> you got to remember the 1928, they're only had been olympic games up to that point and a lot of people thought americans were spending this money and why are we competing here, what's the whole point? he really made it clear that this was important, that sports was not just an expression of winning was an expression of the american spirit but the pursuit of excellence that was involved in the olympic games was something that innocence

rippled out into america and she americans view of the world and into this optimistic, can-do attitude. and the success of the 2018 was stunning. they heard more gold medals in the next two countries combined. they set 17 olympic record and seven world records in the course of the games. this was a watershed moment, not just in olympic history but also in american sports history as came to realize that sports and america, the american way of life, these were two overlapping and very much connected ways of life and forms of life for our country. jenna: it's something we take for granted these days, associating america with the success on the playing field. general macarthur as you described it, he would talk directly to the athletes given talks before they went and competed, tell us what you think this tells us and what we can learn about what

general macarthur did comesto american leadership and what really works . >> i will tell you something. here we are, america is this year for the olympics as one wants, 70+ gold medals? 1928 it was 24. that's a big difference and contrast the point is the spirit and what was brought to those games that has said as macarthur said to his team , americans don't quit and americans had quit at the olympic games and maintain a sense of a spirit of winning, a spirit of friendly competition that radiates excellence around the world and is an expression of who we are and look at us today. you look at our olympic team and you come to realize that this is how we are a country that is still poised for greatness, that we have all of this capacity, we are not country in decline, a country that needs leadership and if leadership that's been in decline and that we really need to rediscover and find, the kind of leadership that

macarthur provided for the 20 olympic team and that is very important for sports but also for every aspect of life. jenna: you give us a lot to think about. thank you for joining us, we look forward to checking out your book and having you back on the program is my pleasure. jenna: we will be right back. home for self-defense.
