meeting with victims in texas and louisiana. the president comforting many and bringing a message of hope to those who have lost so as much. take a listen. >> as the water is disappearing, we have a long way to go. but when you look at the neighborhoods.

you see, even yesterday they had water and date's all swept up and cleaned up. we have a lot of hard-working people, i'll tell you that. a lot of hard-working people. judge jeanine: steve harrigan has the latest on the rescue and recovery effort. >> it was the second visit from president trump. he met with survivors. he picked up a small girl. he handed out meal to the survivors. he asked them what they needed. and he issue offed a prediction texas would recover quicker than people were saying. on the west side of houston conditions are dire. many hours along this road are still covered, 3 to 4 feet of floods water. we have been seeing people going back to that homes and trying to

pull out everything they can from that floodwater. even a page it as people try and pull out what they can. there is a strong smell of rauf sewage from this water. i have seen a lot of people in surgical masks. it's enough to sting the eyes. a lot of this water is from a controlled release from water from several reservoirs. there are concerns dams could break so they are continuing to release water. you are seeing people without boats, walk up to the edge of this water. if they can't get to their houses they might not be able to for another two weeks. you see piles of furniture outside of the houses on sidewalks and the streets. with a bed, a couch, a carpet a week agoal is now junk. the mayor says he needs money

now to pick up the degree. this morning he was asking for $75 million immediately. by this afternoon the figure lad gone up to 1$100 million. judge jeanine: joining me on the phone with more is kellyanne conway. good evening. tell us about the president and how he was received by people in texas and louisiana. kellyanne: the president and the first laid yesterday were received beautifully by the people. i was struck by the comments one church gore. she made clear that she did not necessarily agree politically with the president. but she was so happy someone of his stature would come and show the world how important it is to stand in solidarity and care for each other.

the president is very happy with many recovery efforts to date. he showed up. he's been on the grounds. the first lady. the second lady. he asked congress to get the $7.9 billion approved. we recognize he has tens of thousands of people on the ground, volunteers, officials. but they need money. housing is a problem. food, shelter, clean water. and people have to rebuild their lives. judge jeanine: i wonder if people can comprehend as i talked about in the last hour when mire family lost everything in a flood what it's like to move everything and not have anything and have to start over. the president that you and i saw today is the man that we know. i think it was interesting for americans to see donald trump

the president of the united states be the man that we know he is. someone focused on you as he speaks with you have. who will give you his complete attention. and the kinds, generous social man that we know him to be. i think this was a tremendous opportunity it's good to hear the people who may not agree with him politically recognize there is goodness in this man. kellyanne: he's also somebody who has the capacity and wherewithal, he has done that throughout his life. judge jeanine: he donated $1 million of his own money. kellyanne: whether it's clothing or their time, blood, connecting people with the information they need, a little bit of donation here and there, pet rescues, there is so much that can be done. so much social media that didn't

exist previously with major national disasters. but i think going back to the capacity and the full measure. i discussed today watching it all. what will the reaction be from people who seemed to have one single gear, attack, attack, diminish, diminish. he does sympathize and empathize with the folks there and the suffering. he's a family man. he likes to spend whatever spare time has, it would be with his wife, his children and grandchildren. you saw that in stark relief today. the people who attack the president i ask that they lay down their arms and look at the role he is playing on behalf of a grateful nation. telling the volunteers and worst of all those who lost loved

ones. we'll not soon forget he's checking a box and leaving them behind turning their atension tot every things. we'll have a busy week on capitol hill. but we want congress to act first and foremost on hurricane relief. judge jeanine: joining me from houston galveston county sheriff henry evans. one of the things i know about texas is that most of people in texas have dogs and horses and animals. and i know that you have been involved in facing recovery and rescue efforts. but i want to talk about some of the pictures that just stay in my mind of horses in water up to here. what are you doing in texas to protect animals? >> when we were pulling people off boats on to the main

highways and they were able to bring their pets they were able to go to shelters. what happened this time was fresh water. during ike it was a salt water event and we had to have another route to assist with county. my county had more population of people than cattle. so we haven't had an event with the horses and cattle as much as we did with ike. judge jeanine: how many years ago was ike? >> i believe 9. you are the sheriff of galveston county adjacent to harris, houston. i understand there is a roadway between houston, gallon, and you were literally act as a rescue effort on a ramp of this highway and free way. how did that work? >> interests state 45 in

galveston is between houston and galveston. and on 517 we approached the bridge just after sunup and water was coming over the divider between the north and southbound of the highway. we were lunching them off the side of the ramp of the highway. as people were going brought and ferries in everything from canoes to jet skis to our boats. we were pulling them on to the free way, walking them up the ramp, i would say we had on average 100 rescues an hour. judge jeanine: you rescue 100 people an hour in that one particular location. what about the people who were infirm and not able to take care

of themselves and get pulled out of these situations? >> we had several rescues like that. we had a senior home in a private home, 14 to 16 elderly there. we were assisted by the national guard, the military truck. our deputies got in the truck with them to show them where to go. we put everybody in the truck and got them through the bridge. we had several people brought up on wheelchairs, and some of them were actually wrapped in blankets. load on the boat. as soon as they get to the shore we carry them on in and bring them up the ramp. judge jeanine: i know you and i know people of texas. they are resourceful, resilient, independent, and certainly going to work their way out of this. what would you ask americans in light of where you are now in galveston and houston, what needs to be done aside from congress making sure to pass the

$7.9 billion relief evident. what do you want individuals to do? >> without the volunteers there is no way we could have rescues as many people. my agency and other law enforcement did an outstanding job. but the volunteerism stepped up to play. now we are in a time when we need to assist with remediation. you have to pull out the carpet, the flooring, the sheet rock, the insulation. mold starts. today the temperature was almost 90 degrees. watwithout the right effect of , mold starts growing very fast. you have to remediate quick. judge jeanine: thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you. judge jeanine: coming up. much more on the president's emotional trip to texas and

louisiana on this very busy night of news. stay with us back in a you know who likes to be in control? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator. ah! still a little tender. (vo) go national. go like a pro.

judge jeanine: the president and

first lady back at the white house after visiting storm-ravaged texas and louisiana. amy, i understand that you just returned from europe, and you were just telling me that europeans were monitoring hurricane harvey. tell me about that. >> i was in scwitterland. european news was riveted on hurricane harvey with the suffering of our fellow texans, talking to people rescued from the flood. covering the response it was interesting to see that american news, even something like hurricane harvey becomes global news. when the president says the world is watching, they really are. judge jeanine: were they taking a position in regard to the president and his activity? >> not particularly.

they did report on president trump going down to corpus christi and making the statement he did down there. i have to say, european media can be even more anti-trump than american mainstream media. judge jeanine: what's to show up. don't get me started on bush. it too two weeks for him to show up and said fema was doing a heck of a job. >> the hypocrisy in criticizing president trump. we'll the bp oil spill, president obama didn't go to the gulf for two weeks. james carville said where is president obama, we are dying dunn here, we need you. over a month later he gave a press conference saying, i was wrong. he apoll jaitds for what seemed to be lack of attention.

they are focused on the first lady's shoes. judge jeanine: she walked off the plane with nikis. she had no intention of walking around in heels. >> it shows the totally skewed priorities. it's pettiness. judge jeanine: you are a pollster, how do you think this will play going forward on the president's numbers and the american people's reaction to him? >> if you look at past disasters where there has been a positive response by the executive, we know the governor, greg abbott. he says he gives fema an a-plus. there has been exemplary coordination between the feds and the local authority. i want to point out our fellow

americans and their response. it shows you who we are as a people. when it comes to polling there is a rally around the flag, particularly in this case i think we'll see it because president trump has been so responsive. you see what's down there two days prior to hurricane harvey. but you see that donald trump is a builder, a doer. he's a guy who get it done. >> a "wall street journal" article point out president trump made general kelly his chief of staff. this is someone who just came from the department of homeland security who is also handling this with great skill. jean, amy holmes. coming up, rick leventhal joins us live with an update on the still dire situation in part of texas.

my latest on the jim comey controversy.

i wanted to know where my family came from. i did my ancestrydna. the most shocking result was that i'm 26% native american. i had no idea. it's opened up a whole new world for me. ♪

robert: a bold provocation from north korea. it claims it has nuclear ready weapons. pictures were released of kim jong-un inspect a hydrogen bomb. it would be load on a missile that could hit the u.s. but the claim cannot be independently verified. japan's prime minister and president trump discussed this issue during a telephone call friday night. the north launched a missile

over japan. that action was widely condemned. this follows two missile tests in july. i'm robert gray. you are watching fox news. jeanine." judge jeanine: president trump traveling to flood-ravaged houston as well as lake charles, louisiana. so many families and community facing dire conditions. hello, rick. reporter: we are in a grocery store parking lot that served as an evacuation center for people who were flood out of their homes. there was a flood of activity, established by volunteers but staffed by members of the louisiana national guard. the volunteers were sent home because there is a curfew in effect in vidor because of issues with looters.

the national guard is here along with texas state police and texas rangers. they have one of those heavily armored military vehicles that the state purchased. they have a couple of those here, the texas state police do. they have been sending their guys out in those. they are high water vehicles and get into areas where some resident told us they have seen looters on boat going into homes that are flooded out to try to steal from those homes. that's one of the things we have seen the rangers and state police trying to stop. there was at least one arrest of someone attempting to loot someone's home. we have seen a lot of outpouring of support from volunteers from across the state, across the region, and florida. one of the guys i spoke with earlier, a guy named joe rubio.

he said he put a message on facebook early in the week about trying to help out the people of houston and he was flooded with donations. he loaded them up on a flatbed towed by his pickup truck and thousands of pound of donations and he drove all night with his buddies. we talked to him earlier today. >> we have 10,000 pound of fresh water in bottles. 1,200 pound of baby formula and diapers. new clothes, dog food. shower stuff. i don't even know what you call it. reporter: where did it come from? >> people just donated it. i made a facebook post and said we were going to houston to help out. we have a lot of customers here and friend and family and it just blew up.

he said he will stick around and help for as long as he possibly could. one of the people who will need joe's help is a young lady named lacy burton. her neighborhood still under water tonight and a house she and her father bought, moved into just a couple weeks ago is under 2 or 3 feet of water. sheer is what she told us. >> i'm just trying to stay optimistic until i can actually see what's wrong with it inside. i'm trying to think on the positive that nothing really got inside. so, yeah. it's hard. but it will get better. reporter: you hear a lot about texas strong and we are seeing it tonight and every day that we are here.

judge jeanine: rick leventhal, be safe out there. now to my opening statement. it's time for the department of justice and the state department to be true to their mission and recognize the significance of the election of 2016. the american people elected donald trump to change the way things where done in washington. to us, truth and justice matter. and law and order is mandatory. no more cover-up. no more cutting organized criminal end prizes like the clinton foundation any slack. this week we learned james comey long before that fateful july 4th weekend when hillary clinton was interviewed actually began drafting a memo exonerating a criminal target of the federal investigation of all criminal liability.

and this week we learned that both -- that both the department of justice and the state department opposed the freedom of information foia material on the clinton foundation information. both justice department and state fought against if the american people getting the truth. both justice and state defended the privacy of hillary rodham clinton's records over our right to know. this must stop. the deep state, obama and clinton holdovers in both justice and state department must be eliminated. even a federal judge is fed up with them ordering them to release information to the american public. rex tillerson may know the world, but i'm not so sure he understands government holdovers

looking to protect the clinton dynasty. jeff sessions needs to follow his prosecutorial instincts and open a federal criminal investigation into the actions of hillary rodham clinton and impanel a grand jury immediately. this woman should not get a free pass because she lost an election. her reign was one of bold, brazen in your face pay-to-play corruption. and i'm not even talking about the hypocrisy of this so-called women's rights activists which starts and ends with the women who accused her husband of yong doing and contributions from countries that literally hate and kill women. james comey needs to be the target of an active criminal investigation to obstruction of justice, and perjury.

it's the essence of public corruption. he lied to the senate judiciary committee when he said he only made the decision to not charge -- which was not his decision to make in the first place -- after the investigation was completed. >> director, did you make the decision not to recommend criminal charges relating to classified information before or after hillary clinton's interview on july 2. >> after. if colleagues of ours believe i'm lying about when i made this decision, please urge them to contacted me privately so we can have a conversation about this. the decision was made after that because i didn't know what was going to happen in that interview. she maybe lied in that interview in a way we could prove. judge jeanine: hillary clinton

promised attorney general loretta lynch she could keep her job after that undisclosed meeting on the tarmac between bill clinton and loretta lynch. jim comey who has repeatedly shown himself to be a grand stander, egomaniac and political operative has shown himself to be the essence of the swamp that americans so want to clean up. it is time to go after jim comey. that's my opening. kel me what you think on my facebook page and twitter. here to talk about all the breaking news from today and more. my political panel. thanks for being here tonight. donald trump has said all the right things. it appears he's doing all the right thing. ahearing in ravaged southeast texas and southwest louisiana in

the first week. what do you say to that, michael? >> donald trump is doing his job, thank god. i'm not going to give him extra credit for doing what he's supposed to do, which is being president. but i will draw attention to what he has done during the hurricane, which is pardon joe arpaio and rumored to ends daca. judge jeanine: he said he won't tell us until tuesday. don't criticize him before he makes the decision. >> all reports from the white house indicate dablg is going to end. judge jeanine: house your anonymous source at the white house. >> michael will you give him extra credit for giving a million dollars to the hurricane victims. i lot of attacks on the left. oh, donald trump is not going to be good for charitable giving. give me a break.

you know he has the money, he will fulfill the commitment. he went down to thanks today for a second time helping people with the vice president. the president has been phenomenal and demonstrated phenomenal leadership. we see americans stepping up, giving billions of dollars, driving across the country, sending goods and services, everything people need. i love seeing the philanthropic backbone of america stepping up that makes our country unique. >> i agree with that 100%. we have seen america at its best, despite the politics and riggs differences. we have seen -- despite our racial differentials we have seen america come together. >> i believe this is america. did you hear the latest.

congress. congress are less than 10%. >> who are the 8 per? who approves of what they are doing? judge jeanine: don't you agree, a lot of this stuff with the antifa and we'll talk about that in a little bit. but that's just kind of to me operatives playing politics. and the american people are good people and work together. and all this other east coast, west coast mainstream media hogwash is just that. am i wrong? >> i think the american people are good people. but i think we do have uncomfortable conversations we need to have. politicians and pundits have made it more difficult to have those conversations because they played on some of our most of insecure fears.

judge jeanine: we hear jim comey wrote the draft exonerating his girlfriend hillary. then lied under oath. >> he didn't lie. you and i are both criminal attorneys. >> i'm a judge, you are an attorney. >> you were a attorney before you became a judge. >> in a criminal investigation, you don't wait until after the investigation is done to draft the beginning statement. james comey was 9 months into that investigation an drafted that letter saying he didn't believe hillary was going to be charged. judge jeanine: that's a bunch of hogwash and you know it. have you ever prosecuted a case or put own investigation together? no. >> i was a civil prosecutor for the city.

judge jeanine: this is totally different. you don't make a decision until you get the evidence. prove to me he wrote a note saying she was guilty. >> she wasn't guilty. why would he write something that wasn't true. judge jeanine: he knew of ahead of time he was going to exonerate her. >> you don't wait until the final day of trial to write your closing argument. >> this should go in front of a grand jury. just because

judge jeanine: information about leftist extremist organizations known as antifa. in previously unreported documents fbi and department of homeland security argued that extremists? antifa groups were the primary

instigators at rallies. good evening. what are we hearing about antifa when apparently the government came out and talked about it well over a year ago. why is this? >> it's very concerning. those of us participating in the campaign saw this coordinated violence against trump supporters break out in several places it's similar to the antifa we see today with the masks and the bats, and open confrontation and violence as a tool. it looks like the fbi and the department homeland security have known about this for a year and unfortunately haven't been warning the public about it. that's a scary situation. judge jeanine: when we look at berkeley and milo was going there and they were burning and smashing the building and one

person was arrested and he did it because he wanted the street credits. i didn't know what to call them, i called them black ninjas. we are just hear being this because politico told us, not because the government told us. but you are an attorney who is bringing a lawsuit to prevent law enforcement from standing down? >> what happened last year in the june rally in san jose. we did the pledge of he lee jones. we walked out and 250 san jose direct all the trump supporters directly into a riot and sealed off the other routes so people from the ages of 40, 50, and 0 per trapped and we were beaten like animals in this narrow canyon area. they didn't lift a finger and it was shock. the national news media was

there to witness it. i recommended a number of individuals assaulted to sue the police chief and the city of san jose for failing to protect trump supporters. judge jeanine: let's take a look at how the person who was beat up last week and thought he was going to die, how he responded. >> well, you know, after the massive part of black block came, the police disappeared. and there was an announcement. the police stood down and a sea of black poured into the park and it turned violent. judge jeanine: police are standing down. i love cops. i can't believe this is instinctive. order must be coming from the top. >> what i heard in san jose from a number of police who were there said they were sickened by the orders they were given.

but they need their pension and jobs and aren't able to come forward. in berkeley similarly there were rank and file cops. they are embarrassed their police chief doesn't have the political will to stand up to the mayor and say our job is to keep people safe, not protect your p.c. attitudes here. these are normal citizens. the guys who was beaten up is a video blogger. the reason they do this is to prevent citizens from coming out to hear conservative or other viewpoint. judge jeanine: thanks so much for being on. we'll see more of this. up next, pastor robert jeffress joins me to talk about sunday's national day of prayer. back in a moment. oh, you brought butch.

yeah! (butch growls at man) he's looking at me right now, isn't he? yup. (butch barks at man) butch is like an old soul that just hates my guts.

robert: an earthquake could be an indication of another nuclear test. it would be the 6th nuclear test since 2006 if confirmed. this follows an announcement from the rogue nation, state-run media that they have a thermonuclear bomb. kim jong-un oversaw the final stages of the work seen in these images released by north korea. president trump spoke with the afterniece prime minister shinzo abe and they agree they must cooperate with china.

the u.s.g.s. is quantifying this as a 6.3 magnitude explosion. this coming across the wires. on the phone right now is fox news pentagon producer lucas tomlinson. talk us through a little bit. they have been talking about this. this is the biggest explosion to date if this proves to be a nuclear test in north korea. how will they determine fit was a test. >> the u.s. military and japanese military will have, you know, radiation detection equipment inside aircraft. the u.s. military will fly aircraft to detect and take air samples to determine what it is

if it's indeed a nuclear test. this would be north korea's 6th nuclear tests. they conducted five previously going back to 2006. the last one came in september of 2016. which would coincide with a major north korean holiday and it coincides with this weekend's labor day weekends. dozens of missile tests north korea has done as well. they like to conduct nuclear tests around big national holidays. robert: do you see them trying to catch the u.s. and western allies off guard?

is there some significance in doing that? and what sort of response? what do you see as the next step? >> well in terms of testing, both united states and south korean intelligence agencies had seen signs of a possible nuclear test this weekend. late this week when we were discussing north korea. this is something the united states has been looking at. for months there has been activity around north korea's nuclear test site. in terms of next steps. as secretary mattis indicated. there is a certain amount -- there is only so much the united states can do. the united states in the fast when it comes to missile tests

has flown what they call show of force missions. long-range supersonic bombers out of guam. 2,000 miles away. just after north korea's last missile test in which they flew a missile over japan. the u.s. air force flew two strike filers or sealt jets from japan and linked up with the long-range supersonic bombers from guam. this explosion comes at the ends of annual military training between south korea and south korea. and of course this greatly angers north korea. but in terms of the surprise. right now, it's the 6th nuclear test for north korea

coming on the heels of dozens of ballistic missile tests including? july the first long-range intercontinental ballistic missile test in the crowing communist nation's history. united states is not surprised by any of this. robert: it seems to be an escalation coming to a head here. what else your sense in terms of what you have been doing what may be the next step in terms of testing out of north korea. what will it take before you get china and russia coming in to put pressure on? is there likely concern by both those two? >> there certainly has been concern from russia and china. last month they joined their fellow members of the u.a.

security council to condemn north korea look at a variety of things. however, in terms of a u.s. in military response. center tens of thousands of core there arian weapons aimed at seoul. and any kinds of military response by the united states or south korean and japanese allies would mean casualties that top u.s. military officials have warned, casualties the world has not seen since world war ii. >> have you heard any projections of what could be a response? it would need to be limited. they are trying to avoid that. any plans that you all have

uncovered as potential from your reporting at the pentagon? >> the united states can conduct the shows of force in terms of taking any outright military action. secretary of demps jim mattis said the united states is not going to act until core there are fires a missile that is heading towards the united states or its territory in guam or its allies. in terms of doing a nuclear test to draw the united states into a shooting war. that's not likely according to officials. this test today is not without precedence. there have been five before dating back to 2006. so while this is going to receive strong condemnation from the world. likely an emergency session from

the united nations. in terms of any kinds of u.s. military response we just need to wait and see. it's early now to talk about any kinds of u.s. military response. certainly we'll see stepped up u.s. military flights, patrols from its bombers. keep in mind, there are 80,000 u.s. military troops stationed on south korea and japan. you have warships from the 7th fleet. since the collisions of two destroyers resulting in the death of 17 sailors. the u.s. military is down two ballistic missile defense ships that can shoot down korean ballistic missiles. in terms of any kinds of military response, it's too early to tell. robert: how soon mi
