11:01 am
they're really trying to return to business as normal. you can see people are out here eating in front of a window that is boarded up. they had a chair tossed through this window. to continue walking down here, you can see another window was boarded up. several businesses just like this. tension was really building leading up to yesterday when a judge acquittedded jason stockley after he killed lamar smith back in 2011. now, the protesters really wanted former officer stockley to be found guilty for first-degree murder after he was caught on camera saying that he planned to kill smith just minutes before he pulled the trigger. now, stockley has maintained throughout the course of all of in that the only reason he shot smith was because he was pulling for his gun. >> the taking of a life is the most significant thing that one can do, and it's not something that is done lightly, and it's not something that should ever be celebrated. >> reporter: after the
11:02 am
acquittal, protesters swarmed the streets of downtown st. louis. they walked for miles. at one point, they surrounded the old courthouse. there were some park rangers who were protecting that building. one had to actually physically pull another inside the building to stave off a confrontation. then just a couple blocks later we witnessed protesters jump onto a police suv. they smashed the windshield. as the sun went down here, we saw peaceful marches throughout the streets. we also witnessed united states flags being burned and then violence broke out again near the mayor's house where they vandalized a number of windows, they threw paint onto the side of her wall, and then they came over into this area, and that's when they started smashing windows like the one behind me. i can tell you law enforcement had zero tolerance for that, and when the vandalism and violence broke out, they jumped on it quick, julie. kelly: actually it's kelly, will, but julie's right here beside me.
11:03 am
there are concerns about more violence tonight. >> reporter: well, kelly, you saw the protests going on right now, and there are concerns. police say they're ready for them but, keep in mind, this is an open-carry state. we saw a number of protesters who were walking around armed, at least one gun was confiscated. we also witnessed some of the protesters, i saw one teenager take a cement slab that was about this big. he picked it up, and he just smashed it into the ground several times so he could get chunks of that cement in his hands, and then he ran up and started throwing it at the officers. we know almost a dozen officers were injure because they were hit by -- injured because they were hit by debris, so that is a real concern for the rest of the weekend, kelly. kelly: all right, will. stay careful, and thanks for bringing the update to us. hopefully, violence will cease. thank you. julie: a fox news alert, a day after north korea successfully test fired a new missile over japan, kim jong un saying his
11:04 am
country is nearing its goal of, quote, equilibrium in military force with the u.s. greg talcott is live in seoul, yeah, with the very latest -- south korea, with the very latest. >> reporter: hi, julie. new images, strong words from north korea. the state news agency there releasing scenes purporting the show the launching of that intermediate-range missile. it flew some 2300 miles into the pacific of ocean, a distance that would put the u.s. island territory of guam in range if it was pointed in that direction. luckily, it was not. said to be in attendance, north korean leader kim jong un, he ghei out some hefty quotes -- he gave out some hefty society quotes. he said that north korea will proceed at full speed and straight ahead to complete his nuclear force and that the u.s. would not dare talk about a military option if that was in place. well, this comes at a time, of course, when u.s. allies are putting maximum pressure on the u.n. and other countries to put
11:05 am
pressure on north korea to rein that regime in. and again just friday we heard of possible military action being discuss by members of the trump administration. still, some here in seoul see some intriguing signs in this latest barrage of rhetoric coming from kim jong un. the fact that he is only talking about equilibrium rather than destroying the united states with the nukes some see as a good thing. also that he's nearing completion of an arsenal might mean that he's nearing talks, and some here think that negotiations really are the only way to get out of this mess. take a listen. >> we've got to talk, and people don't like to do this, don't like to think about this, but what has to happen is a senior american official or a trusted confidant of president trump needs to get in a room with a senior north korean official or a confidant of kim jong un. until the talks start, this process that we're watching is just going to go on and on and
11:06 am
on. >> reporter: of course, there are a couple of problems with this, julie. first of all, we have spoken with north korea in the past, and it hasn't gone too far. i am told that this time around they might want to keep the nukes and, in the runup to those talks, they'll keep testing the nuke hard devices and the missiles -- nuclear devices and the missiles. back to you. julie: greg talcott, thank you so much. for more on this, gordon chang joins me here in the studio. so he is the author of "nuclear showdown: north korea takes on the world," knows much about this region. we appreciate you coming on. you just heard kim jong un basically saying his country is nearing its goal of, quote, equilibrium in military force with the u.s. it's sad to say that that could potentially be a good sign as greg just showed in his report. what does that mean? >> i think what he really means is deterrence, that he will be able to deter the united states because, obviously, he's not going to get an arsenal as large
11:07 am
as ours, at least not in the foreseeable future. now, if all he wanted was equilibrium, maybe we could live with him, but unfortunately that won't happen because the core goal of the kim regime -- and really this is the basis of its legitimacy -- is to take over south korea. so he got to be worried that once he's confident in his arsenal, kim is going to try to use it to blackmail the united states. he wants us to break the treaty with south korea, get our troops off the peninsula so that he can then intimidate seoul and basically absorb it. julie: okay. and seoul is not going to be intimidated. you know, the president there has made it very clear and the united states military is behind them 100%. yesterday general h.r. mcmaster held a news conference at the white house basically saying there is immense international pressure on the denuclearization of north korea. mcmaster, secretary of state rex tillerson both pointing out north korea is further isolating itself from the rest of the world by conducting these tests. what about further isolation
11:08 am
with, let's say, china and russia agreeing to the toughest u.n. sanctions ever? would that actually lead to any resolution here? >> well, those sanctions that were adopted on the monday -- julie: right. >> -- which is resolution 2375, yes, they were the strictest of the nine set of sanctions, but they're certainly not strict enough. the real problem is enforcement. because we know that china has busted the first seven set of sakss, it's probably going -- sanctions, it's probably going to ignore the eighth and clearly the last one built really to be defeat by non-enforcement because they're just not enforceable with the mechanisms in place. so we've got to really be concerned that china's not going to help. we've got to also remember that the chinese have been fueling this crisis by giving the north koreans very critical equipment for their ballistic missile program and, indeed, north korea's most advanced missiles look to be variants of china's, and we need to ask the chinese how come the north koreans have
11:09 am
chinese-looking missiles. julie: how would japan then have to reevaluate its missile defense system? >> they're buying more missile defense systems from the united states, they're going to buy the systems that we have on our destroyers, but there's also a land variant of them. they're going to buy that. and i think that they're probably also going to bolster their other missile defense systems that they purchase from us. is they've got to do that but also missile defense is not going to be the answerer, it's going to be stopping kim jong un. julie: so explain to us what a rearmed japan would mean for north korea and china. >> well, a rearmed japan -- and they're doing that anyway because the chinese are threatening their islands in the south, in the east china sea and, indeed, china is expanding its territorial claims, it appears, to want to take okinawa and the rest of the chain. state media has been making that claim. so i think that essentially what we're going to see is japan become a much better partner for the united states. but it's not going to really be
11:10 am
there in the time frame that we need, because this crisis is going to occur pretty soon. julie: there is no time to waste, every single day it is really, truly like a ticking bomb. press secretary sarah huckabee sanders yesterday in that press conference made mention that president trump will be meeting with south korean leaders on the heels of north korea launching another missile on thursday. considering just how unstable kim jong un is and his threats against these tougher sanctions, is south korea's firing missiles back at them just the beginning? >> well, it is, and the north koreans aren't really impressed with that. julie: no. well, one of them failed. >> one of them failed, but also, you know, even if all of them succeeded, and thereby been -- and there have been times when all of them have worked, you know, the north koreans aren't stopped by this. they only look at the south koreans as punishment puppets of the united states -- julie: they look at them as a joke, and that's the problem because they don't take these missile launches seriously whether they are successful or not, which means they don't take the united states military very
11:11 am
seriously because we are in south korea there as well. why don't they take the united states military more seriously, and what do we need to do to make them believe that we are a military power, the most powerful in the world, that needs to be taken seriously? >> well n1968 they grabbed the penn low out of international water, the year following that, they shot down a plane, 31 americans dead, we didn't do anything. although they know we have a much more capable military than they do, they also think we don't have any political will, and they haven't seen very much pushback from succeeding administrations. so they don't really think that we're going to do anything to them. and by the way, julie, that's the way the chinese think about us as well. julie: yeah. i mean, obviously we need to send a very strong message to china, because they have been basically allowed to continue to allow this to continue. i mean, we wouldn't be in this position had china stepped up to the plate many years ago. and now look at where the technology is in north korea. they probably wouldn't be so
11:12 am
equipped as they are. now they're ready to arm an icbm with a hydrogen bombs, some experts are saying they'll have that in six months, and it seems that u.s. intelligence even were caught by surprise, right, at how advanced their technology is. so then what cowe do to stop -- what do we do to stop that, and what happens if south korea goes nuclear? >> yeah. one of the things we've got to do is impose costs on chinese banks for money laundering for the north koreans. you know, we've allowed china to supply all this technology, and it's not just for the ballistic missile program, it's also for the nuclear weapons program in north korea. and, you know, american administrations, you know, in and out have just allowed this to continue. we've got to stop it which means we need to start looking at these north korean ships that are sending missiles to iran and chemical weapons to syria. we need to inspect this stuff as we're proposing to do and the u.n. won't let us. but we have the authority to do that because the north koreans abrogated the 1953 armistice that ended the korean war.
11:13 am
really there is no agreement not to use force which means we can stop these ships, board them and confiscate the weapons that north korea is sending around the world. julie: fascinating. gordon chang, thank you so much. >> thanks, julie. kelly: well, there's trouble brewing in the atlantic again. forecasters keeping an eye on hurricane jose. where it's headed next and whether it could make landfall in the u.s. plus, the white house now suggesting the justice department should consider prosecuting fired fbi director james comey. did comey violate the law when he leaked information about his meetings with president trump? ♪

♪ ♪ julie: an active hurricane season continues with yet a possible new threat to the east coast. hurricane jose, as you can see it spinning and churning off of the atlantic, now, there is a good chance the storm will never make landfall, but the national hurricane center is saying if it tracks west, the storm could hit hand in connecticut, massachusetts, new jersey, new york city and rhode island. right now it's actually forecast to pass well east of the north carolina coast on monday and remain offshore. so nonetheless are, it could be affecting our coastline. ♪ ♪
11:18 am
>> the memos that comey leaked were created on an fbi computer while he was the director. he claims they were private property, but they clearly followed the protocol of an official fbi document. leaking fbi memos regardless of classification violates federal laws. i think that's pretty clean and clear, that that would be a violation. kelly: clean and clear, she said. the white house now suggesting the justice department should consider whether criminal charges should be filed against fired fbi director james comey. spokeswoman sarah sanders pointing to comey's handling of the hillary clinton e-mail probe and the leaking of the contents of a memo detailing comey's conversations with president trump. jamie weinstein is the host of the jamie weinstein show podcast and a contributor the washington examiner, he joins us now. jamie, is this a big dealsome. >> well, i don't think the white house should be weighing in on this. kelly: why? >> that was clearly a
11:19 am
preplanned -- well, because the white house shouldn't weigh in for two reasons. one, they shouldn't be saying which american citizen should be investigated by the doj, leave that up to the doj. but number two, by all reports mueller and the independent counsel are looking into whether the white house and the president himself obstructed justice by firing jim comey, is it's not a good look that they're trying to get out there and now attack jim comey. it makes them look like they're hiding something, and perhaps they're hiding nothing at all. i think this comes back to the president's strategy that he's a counter-puncher, and he doesn't like to take an attack sitting down, and he views jim comey attacking him. but it's not a good look for this administration or for any administration or white house trying to attack someone like this. kelly: you know, it is surprising that they would come back to this in i view of the fact that the president's been so actively involved in the daca program, trying to compromise to get that done and also expressing to the dreamers that he has a heart for them, but
11:20 am
then what he did during hurricane irma and harvey, he was really doing some great things out there, and then you come back to this. again to your point, it raises the eyebrows and raises question marks why go after this when clearly he has enough on the plate. >> exactly are. and actually, i think it was a good week for the president -- kelly: yes. >> the russia investigation hasn't been, you know, hitting all the cable news shows as much over the last several weeks. he looked like a grand compromiser, supposedly reports suggests that he likes what he's seeing on cable news right now. he's getting praise where sometimes he was getting condemnation. i don't see any benefit to the president or to the white house beyond whether they should or not just in the politics of it to kind of raise this issue. if the doj thinks that jim comey did something illegal, by all means, they should pursue it. they don't need the white house weighing in on the matter. kelly: and she did, speaking of sarah huckabee sanders right now, the white house
11:21 am
spokesperson, she did go on to say that that would be a matter for the department of justice. it's not the white house's role to stipulate who should be prosecuted, so she did make that very clear. but again -- >> she did make it clear, but it was clearly a segway. i mean, the question was on what steve bannon said. she was is asked a question about steve bannon saying it was the worst political move to fire comey, and her responses to, obviously, a preplanned response, she was expecting a question like this, to go to immediately attack comey. i think she should have just deflected and said something like, well, steve bannon's entitled to his opinions, but it seems like the white house had a plan to continue their attack on comey. kelly: one would argue when steve bannon makes an opinion outside the white house, perhaps the white house felt it was necessary to respond to that question in kind. >> perhaps, but i'm not sure the best way to do it is to, you know, go after someone that you
11:22 am
reportedly, according to almost all news reports, bob mueller is investigating an obstruction of justice for firing him. i think it's best, you know, just to keep the white house's hands off that. and the specific matter, and more generally i'm not sure the white house should be weighing in on what citizens it thinks should be prosecuted for various crimes. kelly: right. and when you go to the core of the mueller investigation, we really don't know where it stands other than the fact he's proceeding with that and even bringing in facebook now and getting a subpoena to get those records done about the ads that went out about russia and how making the state -- it would appear that he's trying to make a case that russia did maneuver or tamper with the election, but as we continue to follow the details, i think your point is well taken that the white house should just steer clear of this. >> especially when it's, you know, the president doesn't like it when it's in the news, when it's dominating cable news headlines. it hasn't been doing that. he's been getting relatively good press over the last week or
11:23 am
two, so i don't see the point in wading into these waters. kelly: and your bod cast, as -- podcast, have you shared this subjecting with them, and what are some of your listeners saying? >> well, you know, we talk about this subject. we do great interviews every week. this week on sunday we're interviewing someone fox is very well familiar with, mr. tucker carlson. that should come out sunday night, and we get into the russia investigation and the politics of the trump administration. we discuss all of these issues and more on the show. kelly: all right, jamie, thank you. jamie weinstein. >> thank you. julie: so president trump has just days away from his first u.n. address near new york city, but right now he is currently in bedminster, new jersey, the latest happening where and what we're likely to hear from the president in his address to world leaders. and did the president reach an agreement with democrats over daca? what is the deal with that dinner? a republican congressman will join us to weigh in straight ahead. >> we're talking about taking care of people, people that were

11:29 am
at that location. so far there have been no arrests there, we believe, but it's understood from sky news source that is a home which is being searched is a local couple who have been honored for their work for child refugees. neighbors in that area have been evacuatedded as a precaution, say police, and there's also a no-fly zone in place. earlier today right at the start of the day we heard from police that an 18-year-old man was arrested in the port of dover. the home secretary is describing this as a very significant arrest. now, dover is where ferries sail to france. it's not yet clear if that suspect was trying to flee the country. the man has been now moved to london for questioning. now this, as you can see, is a very fast-paced investigation to find out who left this improvised explosive device on a busy train, the peak of the morning rush hour on friday. thankfully, that device did not detonate fully. thirty people injured in that explosion, many with burns.
11:30 am
now, isis has claimed responsibility, but it's interesting to note that police say they are treating this claim with some skepticism. they are still analyzing security cameras on that train line for clues. and yesterday the government here in the u.k. raised the terror threat from severe to critical and already we're seeing, for example here in london, a lot more police officers out on the streets. kelly? kelly: kitty logan reporting from london, thank you, kitty. julie: well, president trump back in bid men stir -- bedminster, new jersey, ahead of his first u.n. address here in new york city next week. he is going to be expected to push for more global economic isolation for north korea. kristin fisher is live in somerset, new jersey. all right, kristin, what are you hearing about what the president will say in his very first address? >> reporter: well, julie, i'm told that the speech has been written, though it'll likely be tweaked before he delivers it on tuesday. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley, describes it as a strong speech, one that slaps
11:31 am
the right people and hugs the right people. and president trump will likely save the biggest slap for north korea. listen to what he said while speaking at joint base andrews just yesterday. >> after seeing your capabilities and commitment here today, i am more confident than ever that our options in addressing this threat are both effective and overwhelming. >> reporter: and, you know, that really echoes what the national security adviser, h.r. mcmaster, said yesterday. he said, you know, for those saying that there is no military option, there is a military option, it's just in the what the u.s. would prefer to do. all options are still on the table including, according to many analysts, the possibility of a preemptive strike by the u.s. >> we don't know that that discussion is not happening. i think with president trump and with secretary mattis those cushions are being had. concern those discussions are
11:32 am
being had. hopefully we don't, i'll be honest with you, but we do need to be ready to defend ourselves and to take offensive action. >> reporter: and that is especially true since north korea has launched several missiles and tested its largest nuclear weapon ever in the weeks after president trump promised fire and fury to rain down on pyongyang if they continued with this kind of behavior. julie? julie: and so what about the terror london attack? has the president said anything more about it today? >> reporter: not today, julie, but it was the very first thing that he talked about when he spoke yesterday at joint base andrews. and, you know, there was a little out of friction between president trump and the british prime minister, theresa may, after he criticized the scotland yard on twitter. but yesterday president trump praised her. listen. >> i spoke with a wonderful woman, british prime minister theresa may, this morning and relayed america's deepest
11:33 am
sympathy as well as our absolutely commitment to eradicating the terrorists from our planet, radical islamic terrorism. >> reporter: and president trump will be meeting with the british prime minister at the u.n. general assembly next week. he'll also be meeting with leaders of japan about north korea, just to name a few. this is a very big week, president trump spending a lot of this weekend preparing for it. julie? julie: kristin fisher, thank you so much. ♪ ♪ >> we're not looking at citizenship, we're not looking at amnesty, we're looking at allowing people to stay here. we're working with everybody, republican, we're working with democratic -- >> you cannot fix daca without fixing the root cause of our problem. we do not have control of our borders. so we need border security and enforcements as part of any agreement. i think that's something that
11:34 am
democrats are beginning to understand. i think that's something they're beginning to agree with. >> i believe that we've had enough conversation with the president with enough reiteration of his commitment to protect the dreamers, i believe that the president -- because of conviction but because of reality -- is there for the dreamers. kelly: mixed messages continue now on capitol hill amid tensions over the fate of a program protecting young documented immigrants. democratic party leaders chuck schumer and nancy pelosi announcing they came to an agreement with the president after a white house meeting on wednesday, but then president trump denying that a deal was ever reached. let's bring in arizona congressman andy biggs. congressman, deal or no deal on the daca program? >> well, i'm not hearing a meeting of the minds yet, you know? i'm not hearing the participants in that meeting saying, oh, yeah, we're all together on
11:35 am
this. what i'm hearing is a bunch of different versions of what happened. i say there's no meeting of minds which tells me there's no deal yet. kelly: what do you think should happen as we deal with dak a ca and the young -- daca and the young people it affects, the young dreamers who hope to remain in this country and continue to contribute to this country? as you know, some of them are actually serving in the military, others are perhaps planning to go to college. what should happen in this six month period that the president's given for congress to act? >> well, i think he's right to give it to congress, that's where it constitutionally lies. but i do think this is a shiny object that's a democrat talking point. they're talking about daca which distracts us from the republican agenda which was to build a border wall, secure the border with other means, enforce the law internally and take away the inducements or incentives for people to come here illegally. i think daca is, quite frankly, it's a distraction. and, you know, i don't think we
11:36 am
should get to daca until we've taken care of the promises that we made in the republican agenda when we ran and got elected on that agenda. kelly: but, congressman, the president has made this an agenda for you, you members of congress, saying something needs to be done to address this program, and it needs to be done within the six months. that's what the president has issued. will republicans get behind the president and up with a way of working this out which would include the border security and, again, getting to the point the president's talking about this is not about amnesty, it's about helping people who are already here, young people who came here no will of their own -- no fault of their own. >> well, there's a couple of points to be made about that. kelly: sure. >> number one is we're not just talking about young people, we're talking people up to age 35. these are self-reported coming here, so there's some internal problems. there's reports of fraud there. we know about 20% of people who claim to be daca-eligible have dropped out of high school even.
11:37 am
not everybody's the valedictorian of their school. so you get this debate going on over there about what's wrong with daca or what's right with daca, but it distracts. and other people believe -- the second point is other people believe border security does not include building a wall. i happen to be one that believes border security includes building a wall, and if you grant an amnesty -- which i think daca is -- i don't think you going to be able to deliver on those other proms. we've seen that in the past in the 1980s with the reagan amnesty. we didn't get everything that was promised, border security, walls, whatever. we didn't get that. previously, actually, congress said let's build a wall, and then they took away the funding. kelly: well, congressman let me ask you this, since the president's reached out to democrats and they're known as chuck and nancy now -- [laughter] what will republicans do to reach out to democrats, and will you operate together to make the situation right all the way around, comprehensive
11:38 am
immigration reform, dealing with daca, dealing with the border security, the wall? be what will you do in the next six months to get this done? and if you fail to do that, fail to act, the president then has to make a decision about what to do about those people who did come here through no fault of their own. >> well, my position is you can't do comprehensive immigration reform until you've taken care of the three things i've talked about which is the border, internal enforcement and taking away the inducements -- kelly: not to cut you off, because i'm on a limited time, can you do that working across the aisle, democrats and republicans coming to a bipartisan, legislative action that will do something about this and tackle all those three issues? >> i think it's going to be very difficult because, as i say, some people do not believe border security involves even more troops on the ground or building walls and physical barriers. it's going to be very difficult for republicans to keep promises, yeah.
11:39 am

so now white house spokesperson sarah huckabee sanders says espn is being hypocritical in how they handle certain political viewpoints. >> espn should hold anchors to a fair and consistent standard. espn suspended longtime anchor linda cohn not too long ago for expressing a political view point. this is clearly a political statement, they should be consistent in whatever guidelines that they have set themselves in that front. julie: let's bring in noel -- [inaudible] republican strategist and former florida congressional candidate and jamie, former candidate for democratic national committee chair. i get uncomfortable when i watch white house press briefings and they're talking about cable news. [laughter] i just think there's other things that they should be talking about. but anyway, that's just me. all right, let's talk about whether there's a double standard here, because this is who they use as their example. she mentioned lynn a da cohn concern linda cohn who was
11:45 am
suspended earlier this year while she was on radio, as you guys know, talked about how the left-wing bias at the network was actually costing the network a loss of subscribers. can you compare these two statements, calling the president a white supremacist, to what she said was a left-wing bias at the network, and why wasn't this woman suspended? why one and not the other? noel, we'll start with you. >> sarah huckabee sanders is exactly right, it is hypocritical. and look at the comparison of what the two women said. first of all, you have to look deeper into this. espn is supposed to be the switzerland channel. it's supposed to be neutral. we're not supposed to be talking political. and there was no reason for her to say this. and i really think that we've got to take control over channels that have absolutely nothing to do with politics unless they were covering a subject that had something to do wit, has nothing to do with it, and sarah huckabee sanders is
11:46 am
exactly right. julie: i agree the president of espn and her boss should punish her, i just don't think it should come from the white house. it kind of reminds you of living in a country where you are having the government get involved in your personal life, and this is an employee/employer issue, this is not the white house's business, and i always say if somebody says something negative about you, you ignore them. the president's asking for an apology. i say that the white house stay out of this, but i guess it's too late. >> look, i agree with you. the bigger concept here is that censorship, certainly from the white house, is un-american. i do think there are a couple of different issues we're looking at. one, the white house perspective and the fact that donald trump, we should all be able to agree that he has said clearly the equivalent or worse. his own tweets and statements have undermined the legitimacy
11:47 am
of that office. he has attacked world leaders, he has attacked respected leaders in our american fabric, prisoners of war in senator mccain, and in some ways he can dish it, but he can't take it. putting that to the side, it's -- julie: deplorable, really disgusting. >> the majority of americans through many polls when asked do they feel -- >> they're not public figures. they're not -- >> they believe -- julie: we have to be held accountable. >> but he has certainly stoked racial anxiety. he went out of his way to shield white supremacists when it came to charlottesville. >> no. julie: but it's not her place. >> they've been littered with racist actions and statements. so -- julie: again, it is not her place. she works at the sports network, for god's sake. >> it's always been infused -- [inaudible conversations] >> interacted with politics has shaped our society is really positive ways. there are many, many examples.
11:48 am
if you listen to sports radio today or any day, they talk about -- [inaudible conversations] >> than we hear on any cable news -- >> espn says they want to uphold a journalistic standard, so those are espn's words. they said they're going to uphold a journalistic standard. if you are upholding a journalistic standard, your journalists are not going to be not only insulting the president of the united states, whether they feel that way or not, that's not the issue. they're also attacking its voters saying they are all a bunch of racists and white supremacists. again, it's not her place. >> i think she took advantage of espn. look, this is her personal viewpoint of what she thinks of the president. she kneads to save it for -- needs to save it for her friends or her buddies. she used the network to get her own personal opinion out. i think that's wrong. >> i don't think you can be for freedom of speech in some cases and then against it in others. i don't think you can, like, cry
11:49 am
against government intrusion -- julie: if you're at a protest as a a civilian -- [inaudible conversations] >> intrude into this -- [inaudible conversations] >> you're calling him a white nationalist. she called him a white nationalist. [inaudible conversations] >> he's not a white nationalist. >> whether as president he has -- that's a legitimate discussion to be had, that is being had right now. julie: and that's why people have the right to protest. so you go and air that out but not on cable television. i just -- unless you are a contributor and you're representing a certain political side like we have here -- [inaudible conversations] >> it's political. when you look at colin kaepernick and what's happening -- julie: all right, okay. thank you very much, i appreciate it. i'm glad i know nothing about sports, i don't even watch them. all right, kelly, back over to you. kelly: how about this? an 11-year-old boy's grassroots appeal to president trump. the young owner of a lawn care business, you're going to love

kelly: a week after hurricane irma ripped through florida, officials allowing residents to have access now all the way to key west starting tomorrow morning. phil keating is live in key west with the very latest on the recovery efforts there. phil, still quite troubling for the people living there. >> reporter: absolutely. for the second straight weekend in tourist-dependent key west, it's an economic freezer. nothing happening, no money being spent and really virtually every business, bar or restaurant remains closed, boarded up. even sloppy joe's bar, the famous one where ernest hemingway used to have drinks back in the day, not reownedded yet. at least they got power back last night. take a look at duval street last night, friday night at 7:15, there would be tourists up and down the street living the life of being on vacation and being in key west.
11:55 am
dead, ghost town. now take a look at some of the damage up the keys. some places it's devastating, it's widespread. 25% of the homes in the entirety of the keys lost, damaged, destroyed and totaledded according to fema. about 65% of the homes have damage to some extent, some minor, some major. but that's what returning residents have to come down to. they're ad vised, be prepared to camp. you're not going to necessarily have services, cell phone, power at your house, you're not necessarily going to be walk in your front door because there's debris piled up all over the place. so there's a lot to see, and the sheriff hopes all these returnees don't become drains on the first responders who are still in the process of trying to rebuilding the island. boats remain strewed all over the lower keys where the eye of hurricane irma swept through last sunday. that was six days ago, and all of those boat boats pretty much still remain there. in fact, boats in the port of key west remain sunken, sailboats, numerous, unfold numbers of them so the port
11:56 am
remains closed because it's too dangerous. as far as the power goes, it remains a challenge. not all of key west has power, at least 50% of the island remains in the dark, and the other half is, or the other percentage is just coming on a little bit here, a little bit there. by the way, as far as showers go, you can only use the water to take a shower two times a day, two small windows. so it really is camping in a city. kelly? kelly: all right. phil keating, thank you. we continue to pray for all the support down there in the keys. that does it for us. julie: yep. we're going to be back at 4:00, right? and then i'll see you on "the fox report" at 7:00. stay tuned, "the journal editorial report" is next. to get back to doing what you love. ensure, always be you.
