6:00 pm
here among this insanity. "the sean hannity show" fred warmbier, a remarkable man. the rest of that is tomorrow. that's it for us right now. >> kimberly: this is a fox news alert. hello everyone i'm kimberly guilfoyle and this is "the five" ." political violence broke out in a separate stress out of washington, d.c. a gunman named james hodgkinson, a 66-year-old from illinois who belong to a facebook group called terminate the republican party, open fire with a rifle at a group of republican members of congress. the g.o.p. lawmakers were practicing for the annual congressional baseball game, which will still take place tomorrow night. five people were wounded in the shooting, including steve scalise, the number three house republican leader. he is recovering from surgery now in the hospital, and
6:01 pm
6:02 pm
911 already. >> kimberly: joining us now, he is joining us outside of medstar national hospital. how is the congress meant doing? >> the last report we have from the hospital is that he is in critical condition. he suffered critical injuries and is in critical condition, but information from this hospital has been a very sparse. unusually so. i've never seen anything like this when you're dealing with a high level public figure who has been the victim of a gunshot wound. there have been a grand total of two communications from this hospital, one about ten hours ago as a tweet, and another about five hours ago. another tweet, and that has been the sum total. we know right now, mr. scalise is being visited by the president and first lady, a
6:03 pm
visit which has gone very quiet and eight sort of spontaneous visit. we did see helicopters overhead. when you have a presidential motorcade going through town. we even understood from the pool that some of the traffic lights in town were obeyed by the presidential motorcade. they came here in an entrance not where we are. this is a huge complex not just encompassing here, but also a va hospital and the children's national medical center. they came through an entrance we have not seen bearing flowers that they have now delivered to the house majority whip. it is safe to say, and we are not hearing this from the hospital, it is safe to say that given the fact he was shot in the hip with a high-powered rifle, that it would not be beyond the realm of possibility that he will be facing numerous surgeries ahead. so devastating is a bullet wound of that sort. oftentimes, we don't know this to be the case, but often times in this kind of injury, you are
6:04 pm
looking at a team of doctors trying to repair and stem the blood flow, and then come back at a later date to do reconstructive surgery because these kinds of bullets can absolutely wreak havoc on human tissue and human bone. it would be safe to say that mr. scalise is looking at a long term recovery indeed. there is another patient here at the hospital. it is the capital police officer who was shot in the foot. we also believe the second capital police officer, mr. bailey was brought here, but his wounds were not from the gunman shot. they may have been inflicted just from the chaos, and was brought here. he did not need treatment and was released. the head of the capital police office paid a visit here and praised his officers here. we also know that a couple of the other victims, zach barth, a staffer for congressman roger williams, is being treated at an undisclosed hospital. we only know that because he
6:05 pm
tweeted that he had been injured in the shooting but that he was okay. we later heard from a family spokesperson that he was wounded in the calf muscle. the president and first lady are still here, as best we know. hope to have more information later on. back to you. >> kimberly: thanks for the update. obviously, our thoughts and prayers with the family members and with mr. scalise as well. we want to learn more about this deranged gunman, and his brother has told "the new york times" that hodgkinson was distraught with the trauma election. joining us is catherine herridge. >> they are tracing to weapons, a shotgun and a rifle, as the neighbor of the suspect identified by law enforcement, as 66-year-old james hodgkinson tells fox about an incident in bellevue and hanoi last march that only stopped after police were called in. >> he pointed the rifle toward the center of the timber back there and started shooting up across the field.
6:06 pm
it was a high-powered rifle, and i thought good grief, their houses over there. >> a facebook page bearing the subject's name includes antitrust rhetoric reading, "trump is a traitor. trump has destroyed our democracy. it's time to destroy trump and company." spokesperson for the american society of home inspectors confirms that james hodgkinson was a member of the trade association but dropped out in 2015. a few years earlier, eight illinois newspaper reports that the suspect sent editors to the editor reeling against republicans. in august of 2012, hodgkinson writes, "i have never said life sucks. only the policies of the republicans." the fbi has said they are focused firmly on timing and motives. [indistinct question] >> what do you mean?
6:07 pm
>> i have no indication of why today at all. >> and the fbi said that they believe the suspect has been in virginia since march and has been living out of that white cargo van. >> kimberly: thanks for the update. around the table, greg, just a very tragic day. starting off at 7:00 a.m., you have people getting set to practice for the game tomorrow, and then you have someone specifically singling them out because they are republicans. >> greg: the first thought i had in the morning was a comical one, which was, who gets up at 6:30 to play baseball? it didn't make sense to me. but then i started hearing everyone talking about how one needs to calm the rhetoric, and we need to re-examine how we deal with each other. i don't know if that's right. because i do feel we should be angry, and we should be angry at the angry people. the people who have been waging
6:08 pm
a campaign of rage for decades, since the beginning of the bill harris movement, who romanticized violence and romanticized revolution. this is not new. this is radicalism and its purest sense, and this is not senseless violence. no, there is a purpose to this. there is a reason why he did this. a story came out today about betsy devos, remember her? she has needed $8 million worth of security since she got the job for the 88 months or so since she became known to have a job. why is it? because the tax on her were explicitly sanctioned by the media and by liberals because they felt that her beliefs on school choice and education were harmful. so it wasn't that she was wrong, it was that she was evil. so if you look at all of the arguments that are directed at trump, or directed at republicans, it's not that their policies are wrong, it's that they are immoral and that they
6:09 pm
are evil. pat sanctioned the violent behavior, and that is not a new idea. that is an idea that has been around since the late 60s and the early 70s. this is a culmination of a toxic doctrine. we cannot be surprised by this. this guy is a leftist radical. >> kimberly: yeah, all the left. >> dana: to add to that, one thing that is fueling it, social media allows you to funnel your desire for reaffirmation of your own beliefs, and you can block out other people, and you can join groups that make you feel like you belong. so if you want to hate were publicans, now there is a place for you to go. it used to be if you read the paper and you are mad, you turned it off, and then you go out and spend time with your family. but now, you can spend the entire day's fueling your rage, on both sides. we've been talking about this for a while. we have seen the ramp-up of, not just resistance, which is what they called for, it is
6:10 pm
persistence of resistance in terms of trying to destroy them. make no mistake, political speech can inspire violence. and i would say, i would call this political terrorism. he attacked these men because they were republican in order to advance his own political ideas. terrorism is the definition of it. you attack innocent people to advance your ideology or your political idea, and that's what i think we should be calling it, and be very open about that. because, if we sweep it under the rug, a year from now, if the newspaper writes, there was a shooting and they don't actually talk about the ideological reasons of why they were targeted, that would be a huge mistake and a problem for us and trying to solve this overall. >> kimberly: so disturbing. thinking of what his family must be going through, and such a well-liked person. jesse, dana brings up a good
6:11 pm
point. the fact that you can soak in group affirmation and find that positive reinforcement. and make you think, oh, i know what i'm talking about. they agree with me. it really builds upon itself as a catalyst for what we see here, which is violence. >> jesse: i do want to be clear. this guy bears full responsibility for the shooting. yes, he traffics in an atmosphere that is producing viable content and allows people to blur the line between right and wrong. the question is, are the producers of this fake news and the hoaxes, and the slanderous rhetoric, are they at all responsible for something like this. that question remains to be answered. i think dana is right. this is political terrorism. this is democracy being shot today. when you attack a congressman,
6:12 pm
you are attacking the constitution. so, the neighbor suggested that the democratic rhetoric might have contributed to this. the brother suggested that this guy was very disturbed by trump selection. just looking at his social media account, and letters to the editor, sadly, this is par for the course for a hard-core anti-trump democrat. there are millions of people's facebook pages and social media accounts that look exactly like the sky here, and that is scary. you are part of the resistance, he's an occupy wall street guy. he calls donald trump a trader and an a , and eight potent polluter. political hysteria, potentially, has consequences. people on twitter were
6:13 pm
accelerating this, which is also very alarming. i think the resistance needs to start resisting committing acts of violence, and you just have to wonder has this permeated the culture is so much where people need to take a step back and reflect, and say what kind of responsibility do i bear of contributing to this stuff? >> kimberly: juan, your reflection? >> juan: actually my friend worked for him. he knows it scalise very well, and scalise knows him. so, for me it's like, wow, i can't believe. to me, i don't want to go to the level of this deranged, deviant shooter, and talk about the politics here. i don't think the politics are what's relevant. i think we've got somebody who is deeply disturbed, and i think the record will show, without much effort, that this is a guy, we saw the neighbor talking about him shooting in the woods.
6:14 pm
he had been living in the lobby of the y in alexandria for several months. he had children, one of them burned herself to death, and another was arrested for domestic battery. you can go back to hinckley and the shooting of president reagan, you can come forward to, i forget the name of the woman who was involved with the general forward shooting, a lot of really out of their mind people. you have a highly polarized country, as jesse was saying a moment ago, but jesse also said, you've got to hold people responsible on a personal level for taking this kind of action. we can have conversations about why someone with this record is
6:15 pm
allowed to have a gun in our country, but let's for a second to stop and say, this is not acceptable. you can't do this. these are people, i'm a democra democrat, and the sky -- this is not tolerable. this is not good. >> greg: right now, the country is going through a period of anxiety because we have a large faction that refuses to accept the reality of the presidency. i'm not saying that induces people to violence, but under this weird cloud, people are acting strangely, and i know that capitalism and free market markets, they don't advocate revolution. but socialism does. socialism has always advocated revolution. radical leftism has always advocated violent revolution, so, this guy was essentially radicalized by the left-wing media. he was troubled, he was a violent disgusting human being,
6:16 pm
but he ingested this informatio information -- >> dana: he took a metaphor as instruction. >> greg: exactly. they took a poll, googled this at home. google harrisburg, horse, and pole. she attacked the police force with this pole. these are the antifascists. these are the people that are saying the other side is evil, but that point justifies their destructive and deadly behavior. >> kimberly: awful. when you see it. just at the level of discourse. can you imagine, i can't help but think, god forbid if this was someone who worked for president trump or his campaign, the reaction of what it would
6:17 pm
be? i've heard people today, blaming president trump for something like this. it's just so vile and so disgusting people dominic. people need to take a moment and think about what they are doing and what they are saying. >> juan: remember when gabby gifford was shot, and people were saying all the stuff coming from the right, and people on the right said no, you have to hold the person responsible. i remember the right said that. and i think you have to hold to that standard. really, i don't care what you say, i don't care how mad we get at each other, or you guys get me around the stable, nobody wants to stoop to that level. you've got to be able to talk and defend your point to make your point. but, i don't think this guy necessarily fits into the political line of debate and discourse in our country. i suspect that he is a mentally sick, unstable man.
6:18 pm
>> greg: i still think you can be mentally unstable and still traffic and a lot of the political narratives that are accusing the president of being a traitor. of delegitimizing the president. of calling him a, of calling him someone who has turned to subvert the democracy. when you feed that to people, and you pump that into their brain, every small day to an unstable individual, then something like this happens, you start to think, it may be some of the stuff that we are putting out there is it healthy. >> kimberly: it's true. it's overwhelming saturation. it's not a small amount of people doing it. it's the mainstream media. >> greg: but the big lie, the big hypocrisy, is that we've been living in a place where the lefty saying, the right rhetoric is what leads to violence. >> kimberly: think about that over the break. when we come back, political reaction to today's assassination attempt. >> we are united in our shock,
6:19 pm
we are united in our anguish. an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.

>> dana: welcome back. all signs show today was a political shooting. here is donald trump. >> many lives would've been lost if not for the heroic actions of the two capitol police officers who took down the government despite sustaining gunshot wounds during a very, very brutal assault. congressman scalise is a friend, and a very good friend. he is a patriot, and he's a fighter. america is praying for you and america's praying for all of the victims of this terrible shooting. we are strongest when we are unified, and when we work together for the common good. >> dana: later, this was bernie sanders. >> the alleged shooter at the republican baseball practice this morning is someone who apparently volunteered on my
6:24 pm
presidential campaign. i am sickened by this despicable act, and let me be as clear as i can be. violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society, and i condemn this action in the strongest possible terms. >> dana: jesse, it must be quite a thing for someone like bernie sanders to get the news that the shooter was a big supporter and it was spurred onto action against resident trumpet because of his support for those policies. >> jesse: i'm sure the senator feels heartbroken over the volunteer being capable of doing something like this. and he put out a very strong statement, and in no way is he responsible for that, but bernie sanders supporters, on quite a crime spree recently. if you look at the shooter today, a bernie sanders supporter. you had the portland stopper who killed two people, a
6:25 pm
bernie sanders guy. reality winter. bernie sanders supporter. not good for the bernie sanders people, but on the other hand, a lot of violence coming out from the left recently. i remember the trump headquarters during the primary in north carolina. you had democrats paying people to go into trump rallies and throw punches. after the election, you have people riding through the streets breaking windows and private property. this violence is only coming from one side recently, so people need to think with the common denominator is here. if this was republicans and trunk support going out there and writing and burning things, and shooting democrats, it would be a whole other story. >> kimberly: this is just in from the medstar national hospital, an update on the condition of majority whip steve scalise. congressman steve scalise
6:26 pm
sustained a gunshot on his right hip. the bullet traveled across his pelvis entering bone and causing severe bleeding paired he was transported in shock to medstar national hospital, a level one trauma center. he underwent immediate surgery, and an additional surgery to stop the bleeding. he has received multiple units of blood transfusion, his condition is critical, and he will require additional operation. it we will provide periodic updates. >> dana: our prayers with him and his family as he recovers. there was also the story that, one of the congressman, as the shooter was being taken down, he reaches over four scalise's phone in order to call mrs. scalise so she would hear it from him first and not from the media. >> greg: that was really thoughtful, but the story for today is also what didn't
6:27 pm
happen. there was no heavy carnage by pure luck. i worry, because the absence of carnage isn't as impactful, and i think we have to look at what happened. and think about what could've happened if the police were there. >> dana: the only reason they weren't there is because scalise required security because of his position. >> greg: everyone would've been dead. the target was hard and not soft. so we have to remind ourselves, thank god that it wasn't pure carnage, but let's pretend that it is. it's the only way that you're going to make any progress. if you say we praise police gets through, the extent of this. you have to think, what if everybody there was killed? >> dana: the police officer that was injured and was released because he did not have an entry that would warrant a
6:28 pm
hospital stay, he was in the dugout and was, while injured, able to take down the gunmen. >> juan: yes, a great performance by the capitol police. there are still two officers there, one of the hospital. the key point is you have people who are trained and who did their job so well. i think they demonstrated bravery. the general went to visit the injured officer and said to her, thanks for saving my life. i just want to make the point that, this is not the average person. you had trained professionals who took action and saved lives. >> dana: stay with us, because once again, the left is blaming guns for the shooting. and greg will's tell us why they are wrong. i had. and ahead.

6:33 pm
>> greg: after each incident, there is a reflex to blame anything on anyone but the theme response will. we saw that last week with orlando. it's a year later and gun violence still rules the narrative. it's always a tool but never the terrace. and here we go again. virginia and other spewing facts when facts would suffice. >> i think we need to do more to protect all of our citizens. they are too many guns on the street. we lose 93 million americans a day to gun violence. i have long talked about this. background checks, shutting down loopholes. >> here's a fact. at the was a sanders supporter. or do i blame sanders? no. but replace sanders with trump, and you have to wonder if the left would return the favor. after all, hasn't that been the media narrative for so long, that the hateful deplorable's created a climate of violence, and that the party of lincoln isn't just wrong, but evil? so now, there is violence, but
6:34 pm
not from the deplorable's. all of a sudden, we say, let's not rush to judgment. the left blames the right for everything bad. so why not return the favor so they might learn a lesson. is that even possible? for another lesson, here's rand paul. >> i do believe that without the capitol hill police, it would have been a massacre. we have no defense. we had no defense at all. we are lucky that scalise was there, because this was his security detail. without them, it would have been a massacre, there would've been no stopping this guy, and we were like sitting ducks. we had no place to run. >> greg: translation, our leaders are better protected than we are. if it were just you and me there, in that gun free zone, we would be dead. so each grizzly act teaches us about vulnerability, whether it's orlando, 9/11, or today. the right response is to analyze risk and reduce it. people drown in water.
6:35 pm
the option isn't to blame water but learned to swim. what we learned today is not to just what caused the attack, but what prevented the carnage. let's hope that sinks in. so the common refrain is the length of the attack depends on the arrival of another gun. it was stopped before it got worse. >> kimberly: absolutely, and when you listen to the eloquence and the facts from members of congress that were there, like rand paul, saying we were sitting ducks. it was just target practice for this homicidal maniac filled with hate and evil and vitriol for people that have a different viewpoint, to exercise their right to point in in this country. they are sitting there and disguise laying target practice. can you even imagine? even with the police being able to arrive there in the 3 minutes. people who were there and said it felt like longer. you couldn't even move, and try to attend to the body of
6:36 pm
congressmen scalise because he was on the ground for 10 minutes before they could get them out of there, because 50 rounds were being fired. unbelievable. just when you think about the vulnerability here, you really do, when you think about it. that kind of harm that can come their way. by the way, they were playing baseball so that they could get practice before they had to go to work. >> greg: i know. i said, 6:30 in the morning, they are older than me, and i'm not even out of bed yet. before they take this very seriously. believe me they were out there early because they want to win. at this point, they are still going to play it tomorrow night. it is for charity, the best bipartisan event in washington, d.c., by far. here's the thing for me. i could be reasonable on gun control if they could convince me with some data or some cost-benefit analysis, but they just say we need more gun control. everyone of these instances, i'm more convinced that the protection of the second
6:37 pm
amendment is really important. >> juan: i think the argument, dana, is that you need better screening before people, you have to screen people. i think this guy was demonstrably mentally deranged. he shouldn't have been able to do it. >> dana: we have no medical doctor saying that. >> greg: no, he selective. >> juan: get out of here. i'm saying based on his behavior, the battery, firing the woods, i think this guy was out of his mind. he was homeless at this time, and yet he had a permit to have these guns. >> jesse: he had the domestic battery charge, he was never convicted of that. he was firing guns out in the woods, i don't know if that makes you liable to have your guns being removed from you. i think with the left wants to do now, they want to talk about guns as a distraction from the guys left wing background. all the democrats that are praising the heroism of these capitol hill police officers for
6:38 pm
stopping the attacker, what you think they stopped the attacker with? guns, but they . >> juan: but they are professionals trained to know how to use them. good guys who are trained. >> greg: democrats today are calling for unity. so what about all of their previous divisive rhetoric. we will talk, next. our senses awake. our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say...if you love something set it free. see you around, giulia paul♪ moved my meeting saw him walk that day ♪

for me. along with diet and exercise, farxiga helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. lowering a1c by up to 1.2 points. do not take if allergic to farxiga. if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking and seek medical help right away. do not take farxiga if you have severe kidney problems, are on dialysis, or have bladder cancer. tell your doctor right away if you have blood or red color in your urine or pain while you urinate. farxiga can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast infections in women and men, serious urinary tract infections, low blood sugar, and kidney problems. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away if you have signs of ketoacidosis, which is serious and may lead to death. i'm in this for my family. i'm in this for me. ask your doctor about farxiga and learn how you can get it for free. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.
6:41 pm
essential for him, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr. a once daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened.
6:42 pm
your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. needles. fine for some. but for you, one pill a day may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. an "unjection™". >> jesse: in the aftermath of today's shooting of republican congressman scalise and for others, top democrats like nancy pelosi are now calling for unity. >> tomorrow we will go out on the field, and we will root for our team, and we will use this occasion as one that brings us together and not separates us further. >> jesse: that's a good thing, but should democrats call for their side to tone down the vicious rhetoric we've been hearing lately? watch. >> this will cost american lives if it ever becomes law.
6:43 pm
this will virtually lead to death, pain, and suffering to people's families. >> if the bill passed today in the house became law, thousands of americans would die. >> this is a killer. for the american people, literally a killer. >> we know we have 2d carbonized our future. if we don't, it's a horror. people are going to die. >> we do know that every racist in america voted for donald trump. that's a problem. >> jesse: so, democrats say that when republicans call terrace islamic, that causes them to commit more violence. but when democrats say republicans are killers, wouldn't that make people cause more violence? >> greg: yeah. how do you change the tone of an ideology that portrays the other side as eternally damned? you cannot change this ideology, because it's a moral stance, it's not a political one.
6:44 pm
they believe we are bad. let's take the obvious about the left on the right. we both have flaws. but the right is no drum up and the left is all drama. that leaves itself to this highly romantic and intense energy. persuasion is entirely emotional, so that is why they say that. we sit there and on the right, we are cold. >> kimberly: we do the math. >> greg: we do the math, and they condemn us to death. >> jesse: speaking of death, kathy griffin did the beheading. shakespeare in the park, showing donald trump being assassinated. how is not connected to any of this, if at all? >> dana: i don't think that because people are doing vile things that the first amendment should be attacked, or that if people shoot a congressman that this should lead to attacks on the second amendment. i think our founding fathers got it right initially. i would say that, when they look
6:45 pm
at that montage that you just said, they're probably going to play for an hour, they are have an opportunity here to do exactly what nancy pelosi just said. they were about to have a big fight on capitol hill about the health care bill. let's see if they can actually fight on the merits and the math instead of on hysterics. >> jesse: juan, do you think a call for civility and discourse, how long will that last? >> juan: i think it's very difficult in the age of trump. i think trump has a great deal of responsibility here. if you stop for a second and think about this argument, people are now somehow beating up on the left by attaching this guide to the left, and i think to myself, all of the arguments we have been through in regards to pro-choice, a cult of murder and the like, that's very vicious language over a policy
6:46 pm
difference. people talk about policy, president trump was reported to debate the house bill, that it was a mean bill. that would hurt people. i'm just telling you, that hyperbole you could say is out of line, but i don't connec connect -- >> jesse: you just contradicted yourself. >> juan: let me respond to you. you heard trump back in the campaign to say that he would pay the legal fees for his supporters that have been charged with punching a guy in the face. when you hear him say i would like to punch somebody in the face. in the old days, we would have knocked him out of his seat. and then you say, you can't blame trump when actual violence takes place then apply that same logic here. >> kimberly: you asked how long it will last. well, it already happened.
6:47 pm
he has already said, in the age of trump, this is what happens, and that the president bear some responsibility for it. i see it very differently. i believe it's personal responsibility, and i believe in civil discourse and treating people with respect, and not being close-minded and judgmental and calling people that you don't even know racist, or sexist because they may have a little bit of a different belief than you do. >> jesse: exactly. up next, president trump says the russian investigation is a witch hunt. a report out tonight says he might be right. ep one: point decisively with the arm of your glasses. abracadabra. the stage is yours. step two: choose la quinta. the only hotel where you can redeem loyalty points for a free night-instantly and win at business. working on my feet all day gave me pain here. in my knees. so i stepped on this machine and got my number,

6:51 pm
>> juan: a fox news alert, a bombshell report from "the washington post" tonight says that president trump now under investigation by the justice department special counsel for obstruction of justice. chief national correspondent, ed henry, is at the white house with details. >> another big lead tonight, and i can tell you that the president's legal team is furious. in some ways, this is not really that new. ever since the president fired james call me as fbi fbi direc. remember, alan dershowitz, said
6:52 pm
there was not a case here when the president allegedly told call comey i hope you can find your way to letting this go. what he is trying to find out is whether the president try to get them to shut down any aspect of the russia probe. remember, rogers at the nsa has testified the president never told him to do anything illegal or immoral," said he did not feel pressure to intervene. the fbi leak information regarding the president is outrageous, irrefutable, and illegal. this is not the kind of press the president wanted tonight. it's his 73rd birthday, he has his family here so writing that. and also just a moment ago returned to the white house with family members after going to
6:53 pm
the hospital where congressman scalise is. just recently tweeting, "scalise is in really tough shape but a real fighter. pray for scalise." >> juan: described by "the washington post" as a major turning point in the this investigation, no longer is it confined to russian modeling or coordination. >> dana: i think this is overriding by "the washington post" and the attempt to get more clicks. we already know that the senators have asked those same people that, so it stands to reason that robert muller is doing a full investigation. once he starts talking with other people, that's when you start having leaks. there haven't been leaks up to now. i don't think the president has anything to worry about now. there is no accusation against the president at this point, and there probably will not be given all that we know already. they can't undo the tweets are the things they have said. i think they should just maintain the posture that they have had and they will be fine.
6:54 pm
>> juan: kimberly, the part of the story that suggests that mike rogers of national security and dan coats were asked by the president to back off of comey. does that constitute obstruction of justice? >> kimberly: i don't see anything at this point that lives up to a charge of obstruction of justice. where did you hear anything there that there was obstruction of justice? i take the man for his word when he said that he didn't feel the president was trying to call off an investigation or anything like that. so, now we're just going to make it up? i want to know? that is desperate, to try to undermine his presidency and damage the united states, that will go through any length and make up lies about a president. >> juan: so, jesse, you have a situation where some people didn't testify about conversations with the president before congress, citing the
6:55 pm
possibility he may want to invoke executive privilege. but now, in the situation, the law says you have to talk. because a crime is being allege alleged. >> jesse: listen, if mueller wants to talk to you, you should probably talk to him and have a very good attorney. the timing of the story is very odd to me, coming on the president's birthday and after a democrat shooting up a bunch of republicans at a baseball game. it could be fake news, could be legitimate. we don't know anything about it, it looks like if it is true, they are looking for a cover up without a crime, again, because there is no collusion. it's obviously trouble if true. >> greg: of course he has to look at this as a part of the investigation. this is a nonstory. "the washington post" trying to change the narrative. no one is widening the probe. the probe is already there. it's business as usual. >> dana: i think the media is trying to milk as much of this as they can.
6:56 pm
i don't think there's any new developing here. >> juan: wow, i think this is a shocking develop it. stay right there, some final thoughts next. i joined the army in july of '98. i did active duty 11 years. and two in the reserves. our 18 year old was in an accident. when i call usaa it was that voice asking me, "is your daughter ok?" that's where i felt relief. it actually helped to know that somebody else cared and wanted make sure that i was okay. that was really great. we're the rivera family, and we will be with usaa for life. usaa. we know what it means to serve.
