before, no, no. steve: hi, everybody. welcome to studio f on a beautiful monday here in new york city. thank you for joining us. you are watching the world's number one cable news show thanks to folks like you. ainsley: i hope had you a good weekend. brian: the president's remarks led to an interesting weekend as far as the nfl. i'm amazed at the velocity of stories and intense still of news. we have not had one day when you thought to yourself let's just review. it's always oh my goodness look where we are heading. steve: do you know why that's great? because we're a news channel and we have it all here this morning. ainsley: talked about that church shooting remember two years ago in charleston. another one over the weekend. the fbi launching a civil rights investigation into a deadly search shooting in tennessee. steve: the masked gunman, an immigrant now we are learning from the country of sue dab opened fire just as the services ended. an armed usher now being

hailed as a hero because he stopped him. brian: when this happened jillian mele went quickly down there to antioch, tennessee. hey, jillian. >> hey, guys, that's right. good morning. we landed in nashville about 9:00 local time last night. once we got off the plane we immediately came here to the church the burnett chapel church where this happened yesterday morning around 11:00 a.m. police were still out here last night when we got here. wrapping up their investigation on scene. actually, just as we pulled up they were towing away the gunman's vehicle. police told us that was his vehicle. getting ready to open up the scene is morning which by the way is open this morning. if you take a look at video yesterday when this happened when 39-year-old mel baby smitmelaniesmith was shot and k. six others injured inside the church. the shooter is emanuel samson. he is a 25-year-old legal

u.s. resident. about you we learned that he did move here from sudan in 1996. parishioners from this churn we actually talked to them last night. she told us he used to come to services here years ago but that people haven't seen him in a while. they certainly didn't recognize him yesterday since he was wearing a mask. right now he is in police custody and is charged with murder. out of this tragedy we're already hearing stories of heroism. two people to be exact. number one the pastor. the woman we were talking to last night on the scene she was in the church when this happened. she told me that the pastor saved her life. she said once the gunman came in to the church, the pastor shouted run, everybody, get out of here. he yelled to make sure everybody knew what was going on. try to clear as many people out as possible. the other hero that everybody is talking about this morning is a 22-year-old. he is an issue everywhere at the church. his name is robert ingle. here is what we are told happened. he got into an altercation inside the church with the gunman. somehow during that altercation the gunman was shot. robert ingle ran out of the

churn into the parking lot in his car where he had a gun in his car. he came back and held that gunman at gunpoint until police got to the scene. people crediting those two men for saving their lives. and a 10-year-old boy could not contain his emotions. watch. >> just heard like three gunshots and the little girl shut the door. and i heard somebody say "get down." when i realized they were alive, i just started like pouring out crying. and that's like i know i'm 10 and i'm supposed to be tough, but i just couldn't hold it in. jillian: tough to hear from such a young person who witnessed this tragedy. by the way the fbi has opened a civil rights investigation. guys? steve: all right. jillian, we thank you very much. it was friday night, if you are watching the channel, you saw the president of the united states he was down in alabama for a rally for luther strange. there is a special election tomorrow. he is standing off against judge moore. and it's really close. anyway, the president of the

united states in a wide ranging chat at one point said if any nfl player takes a knee during the national anthem they should get that blank off the field right now. that's what weather it started to hit the fan. the president was on twitter all day long denkding his stand to be patriotic in this country you should stand up during the national anthem. ainsley: yesterday i got a news eletter. ravens jaguar game has begun and said that the team took a knee as you can see. hands on their heart, all in solidarity. just protesting this president. brian: stood during god save the queen national anthem. you had differenteople singing the national anthem. a couple took knees which is unbelievable if you have to take a knee during the national anthem just pass to the next person. no question. i think personally, i have been out front saying how outrageous i think taking a knee during the national an

item from collin kaepernick in there from day one. even if you are outspoken in sports. it's no problem. muhammed ali outspoken. charles barkley outspoken. curt schilling outspoken. nobody has any problem they have an opinion. no problem with people speaking out. a lot of times they get broadcasting contracts richard short-term when he shere talked about mediocre. he will get the biggest contract when he is over. the president sentiment so much worse and languages wage you used so much terrible. when you have robert craft coming out against you know you have gone too far. robert craft spends time in the lincoln bedroom. is he friends with president trump beyond their wealth and riches and circles. he made things immeasurably worse by speaking out. i know what his intention was. but the language used was galvanizing the wrong direction. ainsley: brian, he is the voice for a lot of people out there. a lot of people agree whim and scared to give their

opinions. i'm not saying i agree with what he is saying there are a handful of people out there, brian, feel like is he their voice. brian: do you think what he said was appropriate? steve: clearly of what the president did was and i read this on and off page president trump taken the side of the flag and anthem and provoked millionaire athletes to oppose the symbols of patriotism like the national anthem. yesterday, the president enroute to washington after a weekend in new jersey and before that in alabama, he made it very clear out at the airport, spoke to the white house poolers, said this is not about race. this is about patriotism. watch this. >> i think it's very disrespectful to our flag and tour country. so i certainly think the ownership should do something about it. there was great solidarity. i watched a little bit. i will say that there was tremendous solidarity for our flag and for our country. i think it's very disrespectful to our country. i think it's very, very disrespectful to our flag.

we have a great country. we have great people representing our country. especially our soldiers, our first responders and they should be treated with respect and when you get on your knee and you don't respect the american flag or the anthem, that's not being treated with respect. it has nothing to do with race. i have never said anything about race. this has nothing to do with race or anything else. this has to do with respect for our country and respect for our flag. brian: i know everyone is wringing um that race the nfl 70% black. in the same show he also brought up the fact that steph currie is not coming here. thinking about not going to the white house. wasn't going to the white house. he says the invitation is rescinded that made things worse. the nba is 80% black. and the nfl is 70% black about race. anyone who knows this president knows is he not about race. the perception was let out there because it wasn't prethought how he was saying it. the other thing is about the

nfl, for 9/11 people wore symbols, red, white, and blue on their cleats and they got fined or threatened to be fined. you can't wear something across your headline that the nfl doesn't sanction. i'm shocked over a year later they have not addressed this with the players' union. so it didn't even get to this point. ainsley: it's just sad when these guys are millionaires and protesting the president in this way. this is the red, white, and blue. this is america. i wish they would find a different way to protest. i'm glad it's not violent. i'm glad that it's peaceful. i understanding that our men and women who fought for this great country and flag did it so they have the right to do that. we are asking men and women who are paid $20,000 a year to go over to different countries and sacrifice their lives so that we can enjoy football. so we can spend our sundays at these football games. i guarantee we are going to see people give up their season tickets. steve: we will see. there was a lot of booing when a lot of the players did take a knee during the anthem yesterday. brian: in buffalo and new england. steve: in a number of different cities. and apparently the steelers

decided what they would do is the team would stay in the locker room for the national anthem. that way they wouldn't get booed and officially they wouldn't have a picture of everybody taking the knee if that was the case. however that was not what 28-year-old former army ranger alle alejandro ville ale. he was the only one to stand between the tunnel and the field. here can you hear the anthem in the background ♪ for the land of the free ♪ and the home of the brave.

steve: here comes the team. he became a hero to the people who think that the players should stand for the national anthem. go ahead. brian: right. by the way, he had fly tours in afghanistan. is he coming out of the locker room, believe me. mike tomlin says i want the team to stand together. i'm disappointed the whole team didn't stay together. i cannot believe that he actually weighed in on, this listen. >> we're not going to let decisive timedivisive. we are football coaches. we are not participating in the anthem today. not to be disrespectful toler the anthem to remove ourselves from this circumstance. steve: former army ranger his jersey rocketed to the top five of all jerseys sold in america yesterday. ainsley: really? that's great. he played the military academy and won the bronze star medal of valor. brian: the a's took a to me. l.a. sparks are in the finals. they refused to come out of the locker room during the game.

brian: during football sunday yesterday, a day that's supposed to be about football. instead became about politics. nfl players and some team owners joining in the national anthem protest. some took a to me. others sat. others stretched. some lock the armed and skipped the anthem all together. so is it about sacrifice that some athletes feel as though the best way to show it so take a knee or not participate. let's bring in johnny joey jones who lost both his legs while trying to diffuse a bomb in afghanistan. but you spent last week with the cincinnati bengals not knowing the president was going to say what he said. what was your message to

them? >> well, you know, over a year ago i tweeted colin kaepernick and said listen, i don't have legs but i stand with enough pride. that didn't go away it went viral. i went up to cincinnati to work them on team work and brotherhood on monday. that was the first thing i addressed with them. i said quite frankly if you are in this room and you took a knee i love you. i love you because i share this country with you and the purest form of patriotism is to love the stranger you see on the street. just because we share this country together. and someone said from the back no one from this team has taken a knee. that meant a lot to me. that showed me they heard what i was saying and understood the true meaning of the flag. the national anthem and everything else this country stands for. you know, they took it to overtime last night and they will get the next one. brian: they did have their best game of the year last night even though they fell short. but then you are going to be speaking again to the ravens this week. what's your msage to the

ravens after they went over to wimbley and took a knee and got crushed. >> same thing. listen. i would stand in front of every man kneeling and give that man a hug and ask that man to stand with me and for me because i will stand for him. i will stand for what he cares about. more importantly i will stand this country industry a place where can you protest. only place need to take a stand and respect this country. brian: one of the things is protest. the thing that makes it different is about the flag and anthem. like protesting your own family instead of going inside and making it better. >> you know, the way i look at it, i don't know what it's like to be a 25-year-old black man on the streets of any city in this country and be discriminated against. but not only in the nfl alejandro villanueva knows what it's like to be 25-year-old american to be in a country that wants to kill you. we all need to hear each other out. more importantly we all need to try and love each other

and stand together there were a few teams yesterday that locked arms and stood in unison. that's what we need to talk about. brian: johnny, lastly, i understood the president's sentiment and that's what you are speaking about but you didn't like the language. >> i don't call names to taliban that took my legs. they disocket deserve that from me. the honorable i learned nit marine corps keeps me above that everyone that i like i may get to know and they may change my mind. i'm not going to throw names out there at people i don't know yet. i want to know what's on heir md and convince them to be on my side. my biggest argument against clinel kaepernick after speaking to him were his actions were drawing a line in the sand and dividing people that my actually come together. i think throwing names out threw like the president did did the same thing. i understanding the sentiment like i started to understanding collin. i don't believe that's how you do it in either case. steve. brian: any team would benefit from having you speak. i look forward to what the

avians say. new york city bill de blasio knows what happened to hillary clinton. have you got to hear this. five senate holdouts are putting repeal and replace on life support is there any way to get them on board? we are going to ask congressman gohmert. we got him up early for it. we've got auto insurance, homeowners insurance. had an accident with a vehicle, i actually called usaa before we called the police. usaa was there hands-on very quick very prompt. i feel like we're being handled as people that actually have a genuine need. we're the webber family and we are usaa members for life. usaa, get your insurance quote today.

and house judiciary committee louie gohmert. >> always great to be with you. thank you. steve: the courts have been involved in this extensively. >> unconstitutionally by the way. they don't have that authority under article 3. they haven't let the constitution get in their way of legislating. steve: what do you think of the new restrictions on travellers? >> i think they are great. they are very well-spoken and articulate the reasons why they designated the 8 countries. you know. for example, venezuela and chad. i mean, all 8 countries are countries where the fbi representatives have testified before our committee, yes. you always hear that we will vet the refugees but you have got to understand we don't have any information from that country. the process of vetting is taking information -- the individual gives us and comparing it from what we have from the country.

we don't have any information from those countries. so i think the president is doing exactly what he should be doing. he is protecting americans because we don't know who these people are. steve: this is what he ran on extreme vetting. >> i love when somebody gets elected that actually keeps their word. it's awesome. steve: so unusual for some people in washington these days. particularly when it comes, louie, to healthcare. >> yes. steve: there were some republicans in the senate who said, you know, give me a chance. reelect me. >> every single one. steve: now this looks like it's doa. >> i was out in arizona last year. frankly i think dr. kelli ward would have won and of course the president came out and endorsed john mccain, a rare mistake. steve: now mccain is saying no. >> he is one of those that said i will repeal -- if he had said last year what he was going to do, kelli ward would have beat him, ann kirkpatrick would have beat him. you know, nothing inhibits recovery from cancer like

stress. i think arizona could help him and us. recall him. let him, you know, fight successfully this terrible cancer. and let's get somebody in here that will keep the word he gave last year. steve: say that again? what are you suggesting that he be recalled? >> yes. help him heal and the country. he has got cancer. it's a tough battle. but stress is a real inhibiter toward getting over cancer. so let him go back, deal th the cancer, let arizona recall him so that we can get somebody that will keep his word from last year. steve: he says, among other things, he would like this to be in regular order. >> bipartisan. he wants. steve: what's the matter with that? >> nothing is wrong with it. but the problem is the democrats will not allow any repeal of anything in obamacare to be bipartisan. i mean, they really put the pressure on their people. don't you dare support the

republicans at all there are a few that would like to be with us but the pressure is immense. so we are not the ones keeping it from being bipartisan. it goes back to henry waxman passing -- we don't need republican votes. we don't want your input. and actually as joe barton tells me if john dingell -- john is quite liberal when it comes to healthcare. but is he a very honest, honorable man. if he had stayed as chairman, he would have gotten republican input, it would have been bipartisan. but they didn't do it bipartisan and they are not going to allow us to have any democratic votes to repeal what needs. steve: i feel you are going to take heat about him getting recalled. >> look. the reason i say that, i was down in lufkin at the forest fair. all over east texas. people are hurting. and there are people who have diseases and they lost

their doctor. they lost. steve: obamacare is not working for them. >> and they're begging, please, you've got to repeal. this have you got to give me some help. others saying i lost my job because of obamacare. one employer said i'm struggling, he said i went from $50,000 a year to 150,000 in two years. i can't stay in business with these kind of increases. my employees will lose their jobs. there are people hurting. so, there are people that have cancer, that have heart problems, just like john mccain and they need help and he is blocking them from getting the help that they need for their lice. steve: all right. louie gohmert, thank you very much for dropping by. >> thank you. by the way, the president has got to appoint a second special counsel to investigate mueller, comey, lynch and the clintons. he has got to. nobody else can do it. steve: why does he have to? >> nobody else can do it.

steve: why do you need another investigator? >> because comey weow found out he lied more than we even thought. we know that mueller was his confidante. by law, mueller is disqualified from investigating comey. we have got to have a second special prosecutor to investigate and jeff sessions recused himself for anything touching russia. the clintons touch russia. so we have only -- only the president is going to be able to make that appointment. i has got to do that for the sake of the country. steve: if he does that it's going to be a bigger story. >> no, no. he should have -- it would have been better if he could have fired mueller, but the very day comey testified that there is no collusion between trump and the russians, that was a day that mueller realized oh my gosh, i don't have a basis for being here. so he leaked out that very day i'm now investigating trump for obstruction just so that trump couldn't fire

him and he could keep his job. comey and mueller colluded to get a special counsel. we have got to have a special counsel to investigate comey's lies. and mueller can't do it. he is disqualified. we have got have a second special counsel. steve: let's see what happened. louie, thank you. >> always great to be with you my friend. steve: what do you think about what louie just said. email us at friends@foxnews.com or tweet us or facebook us. i have a feeling we will get a lot of comments. eagerly await hollywood's take on the anthem protest. >> the anthem thing is a scam. this is not part of football. this was inventinged in 2009 from the government paying the nfl to market military recruitment. >> he said a scam. let's dig into that with pete hegseth coming up next. plus, new york city bill de blasio knows what happened to hillary. his theory, have you got to hear it, coming up next.

♪ steve: all right. let's talk business. the nfl's anthem protest not hurting their bottom line yet. the most profitable u.s. pro-sports team estimated to earn a record of $14 billion in revenue this year alone. ainsley: the ones losing out. you, the taxpayer. as nfl stadiums collect more than a billion dollars in federal subsidies on your dime. here to react is host of varney and company on fox business network. stuart varney. stuart, i didn't even know this was happening. what is this all about? >> i think the taxpayers who are sub is i dyeing the nfl will be upset when they realize the extent of the subsidies to an organization which is not passing rules that you will support this country, its flag and its national anthem. i think taxpayers will be a

little upset about this. first of all, there is $1.1 billion worth of direct subsidies from taxpayers to the nfl. steve: what do you mean by a subsidy? >> all right. how about the building of stadiums, for example. taxpayer subsidies go towards the building of stadiums. 20 new nfl stadiums since 1997. all of them have received a degree of taxpayer subsidy. steve: it's a sweetheart deal. >> some of these stadiums or most of them actually are built with municipal bonds. they offer a tax advantage. that's another taxpayer subsidy of the nfl teams. you know, beautiful sky boxes? 1.5 billion to $2 billion a year is spent on these sky boxes. luxury boxes, corporate suites. all that is tax deductible by the corporation from their taxable income. that's a form of subsidy. it's a sweetheart deal between the nfl, the owners and we, the taxpayers who don't actually know much about it my message is this:

don't bite the hand that helps to feed you. i'm talking now to the nfl. don't bite that hand. it's t taxpayers' hand. don't hurt the sport that feeds you. and don't insult taxpayers whose symbol is the flag and who you are disrespecting by your actions. brian: interesting. i'm wondering if sponsors start to feel it. if the sponsors that pay so much money being by far the most popular sport in america start feeling the average guy, man or woman who makes a combined $55,000 a year say i'm going to avoid x product or this product because it reminds me of a league that's disrespecting a flag. that's when it will get the league's attention and union's attention. >> we don't know that yet. i haven't seen the ratings for yesterday's football games. i haven't seen them yet. i don't know the impact there i don't know the impact on advertisers who are sponsoring football. will they have a negative impact on them? i don't know at this point. steve: sure. the big question is going forward will professional

teams wind up with the same sweetheart deals and subsidies? >> yes. good question. i was intrigued to see that treasury secretary weighed in on this. the treasury secretary here's a man who is dealing with money. that's what he does, taxpayer money. he says the nfl should have a rule to stand in respect for the national anthem. the players have the right to a first amendment on the field -- off the field. this is a job. the employers have the right when the players are working to have rules. so he is backing up the president. and this is the treasury secretary. brian: he was asked that yesterday. both on record. stuart, we will see you from 9:00 to noon on the fox business channel. >> that's correct. i will see you. ainsley: thank you, stuart. fonelert new dails about the gunn charged with murder in that horrific church shooting in tennessee much the hero who stped his rampage. a live report at the top of the hour. steve: plus the island of puerto rico absolutely leveled by hurricane maria. thousands of people running out of key supplies like

>> this has nothing to do with race or anything else. this has to do with respect for our country and respect for our flag. ainsley: hitting back at social media. dark racial sentiment toward the nfl and the nba: wrote an op-ed in the wrote he wrote something far more pernicious here both the nfl and nba are sports in which the vast majority of players are black and vast majority of owners are white. when you make comments how the athletes in

predominantly pro-sports leagues should be just happy with what they have and not complain, you are doing it by accident. you really believe it your thoughts? >> it's dishonest. what does the fact that the owners happen to be white have to do with the issue even where capner nic started one season ago. it's about economic power. michael jordan owns an nba team he has the economic ability to buy that team there are plenty of black millionaires and frankly billionaires in this country. if they wanted to they could buy a team. is he injecting rac where race isn't the issue. he just needs it to be there. ainsley:hat did you think about some players yesterday taking a knee. >> there is a bit of a mob mentality with that in my opinion there are players who have this belief or this protest that they want to exhibit on that stage. i disagree with where they do it. their right to do it is not in question. if 150 or so players decide

to do this, i would then ask the question what about the locker room? what about the discord in the locker room? you are there to play sports. once you lose the locker room which is what collin kaepernick did and lose the team and fans, what are you doing to your own profession? their rights has never been in question. it never has been. the president can't fire them and owners can't fire them. they have the league and union to deal with. what are they really after now? where is the original message and where are the actions? what does colin kaepernick and all these other athletes done over time organizationth sly? what have they built? have they gone into ferguson and chicago and fifth ward in houston and gone into these neighborhoods and why are they ogoing after a president who by the way has an attorney general who has gone after gangs. where do gangs operate and harm the most's people in inner city neighborhoods? who has gone after that kind of activity? they want to talk about actions versus words or taking a knee maybe they

should look at the real fax. >> are they protesting the president or the flag and the anthem? >> i don't think they really know in some ways whether they are doing one or the other. i think they are conflating two when think are not. the president who didn't lose his right to his first amendment, his right to speak out. gave his opion. that's it. he is the president. he is also elect and sworn to uphold the constitution, defend the flag of the united states. so, of course, any president would or should feel that level of why not respect the flag. they are protesting the president because it's become a left, right issue. by the way whether all protesters are black or not or kneelers is black or not is irrelevant again. they chose the president never used race, never used color. they injected color just the way chris did. ainsley: thank you so much, david, for being here this morning. >> great to see you. ainsley: an island is in crisis. puerto rico is running out of key supplies like food and water and fuel after hurricane maria.

brian: the masked gunman an immigrants from sudan opening fire just as sunday services ended. an armed usher now being hailed as a hero for stopping him. ainsley: jillian mele is outside of the church in antioch, tennessee. what happened there. jillian: good morning. i will get to the story of the usher in just a second. actually right now in my email literally 30 seconds ago i gout a copy of the affidavit it does say during the interview of the suspect that he did state he arrived at the church behind us here at approximately 10:55 yesterday morning. the affidavit states he was armed with a handgun and he fired upon the church building that is the latest information that we just got in in the last few minutes. let's go ahead and put up that picture of somebody who is being called a hero. this is an usher who worked at the church. he is here for sunday services. he is 22-year-old robert ingle. here is what people tell us. he had an altercation with the gunman when he entered the church. during that altercation, of the gunman was shot. that's when robert ingle

went out to his car, got a gun and he actually held the gunman at gunpoint until police arrived. police, parishioners, even his own father calling him a his or her. listen. >> seeing my son's face just covered in blood and i'm thinking dadgum he just got shot. >> i set and think what if, what if he had pulled the trigger because he had the gun pointed at him, but, yeah, i'm proud of him. jillian: a lot of the people very proud of him and thankful that he was there people say that he saved their lives. one victim who died in this tragedy 39-year-old melanie smith. she was shot just outside the church as she was leaving the sunday services around 11:00 yesterday morning. six others injured inside the church. let's quickly tell you what we know about the gunman at this point. his name emanuel samson. he is a 25-year-old legal u.s. resident. we are told he moved to the united states in 1996 from sudan. we're going to get more information throughout the

day. but right now parishioners tell us that he actually would come to sunday services at this church years ago. they haven't seen him in a while and they certainly didn't recognize him yesterday because he was wearing a mask. guys? steve: jillian mele live in antioch, tennessee with the latest. thank you. remember in the olden days when people used to watch football for football. some people watch the super bowl for the advertisements. at love people probably tuned in yesterday to watch the national anthem to see how many players would stand and how many would take a knee. a lot of them. there is our friend singing the national anthem right there. a lot of them linked arms in solidarity. but over 200 players took a knee in the largest protest since collin kaepernick started the practice a year ago. ainsley: brian, you are on sports guy do you remember when we used to watch football to escape the politics? brian: embarrassing the first game was in the morning eastern time in england at wimbley at a yum and the whole world got to see how divided we are even

when it comes to playing the national anthem as the jaguars were there and they won out big begins the ravens. most of the ravens took a to me. owner on the field. one of the most patriot imi can people on the planet president and now their coach doug moni. i know he is extremely patriotic. problem with this entire thing. people should get clear. this did not start with president trump. this started when president obama was president. when collin kaepernick was noticed taking a knee and signatures down during the national anthem. he was asked about it others joined him on it. it was extremely controversial. the president got fed up with it. in an hour and 20 minute speech in front 65 friendly alabama crowd. he come out and said don't you wish an owner would go down there and tell those sob's you're fired for not standing during the national anthem. anyone who knows it i have

been outraged since day one. if you have a problem with race in america, okay, speak up. muhammed ali, bill russell, you could talk about, ray lewis, nobody noe one has been hurt by speaking out. a lot of them charles barkley when they speak and tell their mind they get great broadcasting jobs. it was my problem many of you, too, they were during it during the national anthem. not just the military burr the country. yesterday i thought the president overall his remarks friday and his tweet saturday made everything worse. steve: here's what we know about trump. he is an unconventional politician. he businessman for decades and now a politician. he clearly during that rally he was ripping on different things and came tout topic of players taking a to me. clearly it bothers him. it is something he didn't like. and he called out thishes about it the way that donald trump does. yesterday as he was getting on airorce one toome back to washington, d.c he was asked about what was

going on and he made very clear what this whole thing had to do with regarding his comments. is it was not about race. it was about the flag. watch. here is the put. >> i think it's disrespectful to our flag and to our country to i certainly think the ownership should do something about it there was great solidarity. i watched a little bit. i will say there was tremendous solidarity for our flag and for our country. i think it's very disrespectful to our country. i think it's very, very disrespectful to our flag. we have a great country. we have great people representing our country. special our soldiers. our first responders and think should be treated with respect. and when you get on your knee and you don't respect the american flag or the anthem, that's not being treated with respect. this has nothing to do with race. i have never said anything about race. this has nothing to do about w. race or anything else. this has to do with respect for our country and respect

for our flag. 80s ainsley when we interview people who have lost their legs or fought or our great country overseas and you see our players taking a knee during the national anthem. that's what many americans find offense to. it is not the individuals taking a fleevment most of them are amazing people they have done great things. they have taken care of their families. they are excited about the money they have made and share it with other people. it is nothing about their character when it comes to those types of things. it's just the platform of where they are trying to do it. it is just because my two grand fathers fought in world war ii. my father gave up one weekend every month to go serve in the army reserves for 20 years. and two weeks every summer and would drive two hours to go and do that. that's what i take offense to. it's just the platform. it's during the national anthem. if you want to do it, go down and -- the president should sit with these nfl players and talk to them and have a great dialogue so we can unite as a country. the president has a great platform to do that.

nfl players some young kids look up to them. so i understand their thoughts. as a christian, i love them all. we love people. it's just doing it during the national anthem is what i have a big problem with. brian: johnny joey jones amputee diffusing bombs lost both his legs in afghanistan. he spoke to the bengals, is he speaking to the ravens. really inspirational guy. he joins us an hour ago. >> i don't know what it's like to be a 25-year-old black man on the streets of any city in this country and be discriminated against. but, no one other than alejandro villanueva know what is it's like to be a 25-year-old in the middle of a country where everyone wants to kill you. steve: is he referring to 28-year-old alejandro villanueva. is he a member of the pittsburgh steelers. the pittsburgh steelers decided, as a team, rather than come out and some would take a knee presumably or lock arms, they would just not give people that optic and stay in the locker room. except that man right there, a former army ranger who had

three tours in afghanistan, a bronze star, he came out of the tunnel, stood there, the only steeler who we knew during the national anthem was him and he stood. ainsley: he has fought for our country. he spent three tours. he knows what the men and women were sacrificing. brian: the coach was ticked at him too. he wanted everyone to stay together. didn't want to get involved in politics by staying in the locker room you are getting involved in politics. the l.a. sparks did the same thing. nascar has a different approach. richard petty and richard childress said if any of my people do not go out and stand for the national anthem they won't be on my team anymore. ainsley: i'm sure he was like gosh, i want to be with my family and the team, i can't, -- the military, my service, the other men and women's service means more to me than sitting in a locker room. brian: fans were booing in new england and they were chanting stand up i believe -- they were chanting stand up in new england and they booed in buffalo.

steve: my big question is what is going to change in america to justify the players all standing up again? brian: the union has got to get together with the league and just mandate it. my sense is they will take the easy way out and ban the national anthem. steve: i bet they continue to play the national anthem and the players stay out of sight. ainsley: yep. steve: you got to play the national anthem. it's so emotional. 7:12 in new york city. fox news alert. puerto rico is in crisis. people including geraldo rivera's own family running out of critical supplies after hurricane maria. he will join us live from the island next. brian: got a trained surfer got on camera. this is not a movie. how his wild ride ended. brain brain a train surfer. steve: ticket, plee. ♪ bad to the bone ♪ bad bad bad bad ♪

♪ steve: 7:24 here in new york city. time for quick headlines. just days after a btal acid attack atondon shopping mall, there are new concerns now about copycat attacks here in the united states. our department of homeland security reportedly says those types of attacks are easy to carry out with household products and could appeal to terrorists. meanwhile, last week, it was just four weeks -- last week, four american college students from boston college were sprayed with acid at a

train station in france. and violent crime here in the united states is up for the second year in a row. moments ago the fbi releasing crime stats for 2016 to "fox & friends." apparently violent crime increased by 3.4% nationwide last year. that's the single largest increase in 25 years. and the homicide rate went up 7.9% in the country. that's now an increase of more than 20% since 2014. all right. brian. brian: here we go. back to the number one top ping in america standing its grand former army ranger and pittsburgh steeler alejandroville knave all alone as the rest of his team stayed in the locker room. what did his coach think? >> we're not going to let divisive times or divisive individuals affect our agenda. we are not going to play politics. we are football players and football coaches. we are not participating in the anthem today. not to be disrespectful to the anthem to. remove ourselves from this circumstance.

brian: you all know by staying in the locker room you made a political stance. here to react our panel of players. 200 players have had protest. randal hill and former safety and author of liberalism, how to turn good men into whiners, wienies and wimps burgess owens. randal, to you first, when you saw over 200 players take some typef protest action, what are your thoughts? >> well, i don't really have a problem with it because there is still freedom of speech. again, when you talk about these stadiums. majority of stadiums are private property. if there is an issue, i think everyone should talk to the owners because you can't have freedom of speech on private property if the owners want everyone to stand. for example, buddy ryan, when i was playing, he made every player stand on the sideline and if you scratch or you move, you wipe sweat, you got fined $1,500. no one said anything about that. what is the difference the other way around? brian: right. i don't think anyone disputes you can, randal.

it's whether you should, burgess. and i bring that to you. after the president's remarks on friday, i know you said you would always stand for the national anthem did. you change your mind after the president's remarks on friday. >> not at all. i think what we have to understand, guys, this is what the left does. they first of all ban god, they then destroy the black family. now they are trying to take away the pride in our country. i think they are going to roux the day that they brought this up because finally black thieves are finally taking stand. coming out of the locker room and doing something, at least. now we need to start having a conversation that why is it that 83% of black females unemployed across our country. why is 70% of black boys in california are illiterate. those are the issues we need to have. it's not white americans. it's black americans who have the wealth to make a change and they're sitting sittg back and not making a change. sitting on the sideline. engage ourselves as black americans and make a change in our communities. brian: i justs in thed in

your background, randal, you have a great, great grandfather who was a slave. so does that change your perspective of the pride you have in the flag? >> it's the history that the liberal left doesn't want us to hear a great great grandfather came across as a slave 8 years old. died as a successful entrepreneur, builder of a church, builder of education, a republican and proud american. and every single one of my ancestors have been proud americans. we need to be proud again, be hopeful and give our kids hope. that's what the left is trying to get away from us. brian: randal, knowing that you can do this and no one says you can't do it because we know freedom of speech. just the symbol of taking a knee during while the national anthem that you should have pride and the flag hangs there. i think that's more the issue. don't you? >> first of all let me say i always stand and i have had people in the military commend me for standing and making sure that i salute the flag. but it's still freedom of speech. i don't know why this is -- people always yelling well,

it's the left. it's the left. no. i guess any moderate or independent not saluting the flag, too. so this is not a political thing. this is, in my opinion, what it is is guys are tired of some of the things that are going on. let's be realistic. what really happened yesterday if it wasn't made that more political? that's a rhetorical question. but, again, don't say oh, it's the left. it's the left. i think that's really because people in the middle actually didn't stand. and there is some things right and left and black and white. brian: if i can just do this before we go. burgess, how do we get out of this cycle? no one is happy where we are at right now. not the people on their knees. not the people with their hand on their heart. how do we get out of this, quick? >> it comes down now to our athletes getting involved there is a leftist problem. black community. the ones they are standing up against is because of democratic policies. we will get through the season.

make sure during off season they stand up and put their money back into the community and make a change and get these guys hopeful again. with that being said people will stand up proudly because thee see our country as a place of opportunity for everybody. brian: randal, is there a way out of this. >> it's going to be tough, you know, let people have freedom of speech to do what they want. still have pride in your country because some of fhose guys kneeling some o those guys prayed too. that wrong, too right? no, it's not. brian: randal and burgess ongs, thanks. >> thank you, brian. brian: jimmy kimmel leading the charge to derail the production' healthcare bill. he's not going alone. turns out he is getting help from senator chuck schumer. dan bongino here to react next. how did she catch this? the insane story of how this 4-foot woman bagged a 13-foot gator. some say it wasn't possible. i say it is ♪ born to be wild ♪ born to be wild ♪

brian: fox news alert. get this murder in god's house. gunman opening fire as people left church outside nashville, tennessee. the suspect identified as emanuel samson, an immigrant from sudan. ainsley: he is accused of killing one woman and hurting six others it could have been a lot worse if it wasn't for that armed usher his name is caleb ingle. he confronted the gunman. steve: he held the suspect at gunpoint until the cops arrived. the gunman is facing murder charges, a civil rights investigation is underway. let's bring in dan bongino a former secret service guy. he was a cop here in new york city and the author of "protecting the president, an inside account of the troubled secret service in an era of evolving threats." it just came out last week. thank you for joining us

from palm city down in florida. >> sure, happy to be here. steve: how about this story of the sudanese immigrant who it could have been a lot worse had that usher not wrestled with him and then eventually made his way out to his car and got his gun? >> yeah. i think there is a couple of take aways from this story, steve. i think the first one is that we have seen stories like this over and over. a lot of them are suppressed by the media and their antigun efforts. but, this is another one of those good guy with a gun stories. and, you know, having been in law enforcement, spent my entire life with both carry permits and having carried a weapon as part of my tool package as a police officer, i don't know why people think that people who go into their church and have this in their head to master. what is gointo to massacre. i wish more stories like this would receive some publicity. steve: this one certainly got a lot of attention because it could have been a lot worse.

>> yeah. ainsley: something else in the news is everything happening with the nfl. jesse williams actor on grey's anatomy and activist. he was talking to a sports commentator. steve: msnbc. ainsley: he was saying that the national anthem is a scam. listen to this and i want to get your reaction. >> this anthem thing is a scam. this is actually not part of football. this was invented in 2009 as from the government to paying the nfl to market military recruitment. to get more people to go off to fight wars to i do. this has nothing to do with the nfl or past time tradition. this is to get boys and girls to go fly overseas and go kill people. brian: whitney houston sang the national anthem in 2009, whoops? i don't think so. what's he talking about? >> if we could all only live in hollywood utopia that all these pseudo intellectual hollywood types do. are they serious? do they really think we live in a world where grown,

responsible, brave men don't have to do violence to preserve freedom and liberty? what planet does this clown live on? is this guy serious that the national anthem in the beginning of a game, a symbol of national solidarity for the greatest country in the history of mankind, is this joblegger serious? is this some kind of a scam? do you know what's a scam? hollywood continues to take our money. while they crap all over americans who give hard earned money to watch these people entertain us and then turn around the next day and call us all deplorables, idiots and make fun of us all the time. i'm tired of these guys. when i go in to see my doctor i don't ask limb for his opinion on politics. is he a lot smarter than jesse williams who is a fake doctor on tv. we really don't care about your opinion, jesse. clam up and go entertain us for a living. that's what you do do. if we want to hear your political opinion, we will give it to you. keep quiet from now on. a scam. is this guy serious? what a joke. steve: the president got this started on friday night. he was at a rally for luther

strange down in alabama. he said the owners should fire the players who don't stand for the national anthem. of the president has just sent out two tweets in the last 10 minutes. the first one is: many people booed the players who kneeled yesterday, which was a small percentage of total. these are fans who demand respect for our flag. he also went on to say that nascar had it right. the drivers of nascar will stand for the national anthem. your thoughts? >> i was thinking as this happened yesterday discuss grace. athletes in london humiliating the united states on foreign soil while simultaneously standing for god save the queen. i thought to myself last time young men traveled in that direction back door in world war ii right across the channel, they were storming the beaches to try to save the world from fascism. you know, what a disgrace. think about those men and those boats getting ready to hit shores while german

gunfire was and likely to wipe out the first two lines of men as they watched people dying in front of them. thostles are the brave men and women who fought for your ability to make tens of millions of dollars as you travel in that direction to go play a game for a living. show some respect. i get it, the united states isn't perfect. have you every right to protest. have you every right to free speech and passionately defend it you don't have the right to to be an idiot. kneeling on foreign soil and disrespecting our country while simultaneously respecting the country you are there. showing everybody how much you hate america is really an embarrassment. these guys should be humiliated. brian: that's the country we fought to get rid of and that was britain, their domination. we stand for their national anthem and sit for ours. yesterday or excuse me over the weekend it was revealed that jimmy kimmel approach to attacking the republican plan for healthcare was to go after senator cassidy personally and some other people. but, also, he was coached by chuck schumer through the entire process. so he gave him his talking points on late night television.

what's your reaction to that? >> yeah. you know, this has really been on my mind lately. my sympathies are genuinely with jimmy kimmel. he is going through his child. have you kids. i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. here's the problem, guys. jimmy kimmel has a responsibility using his plats form to tell people the truth and not engage in propaganda. he keeps saying things like government spending and cutting government spending and this is going to hurt americans. he never tells all the people about all the damage government spending in medicine has done to the healthcare market. you do you know why he hasn't done it? because he doesn't know. he hasn't done the proper research on the material to go out there and speak about it intelligently. i'm really angry because people believe jimmy kimmel and trust him. frankly he doesn't know what he is talking about. i say that with all due sympathies toward the situation. it's a terrible situation he is. in that doesn't make him right. it makes minimum propagandizing. brian: people told they could keep a doctor because

they had a relationship with their doctor and they couldn't. president obama keep their plan over if they wanted to. it was going to save the average family $2,200. cbo said it was going to save us money. all those things proved untrue. if he led with that and this is why i think it's worse, and the didn't pick up the phone to call cassidy who wrote it and they evidently had somewhat of a friendship or relationship, that was the unevenness of it. >> yeah. i mean, where was jimmy kimmel when 10 million americans, hard-working americans who don't have tens of millions of dollars to back stop their income like he does. where was he when they had their insurance plans cancelled. where was he when their wallets shrunk up because they are paying double premium hikes. getting your talking points from chuck schumer, i mean, seriously. i mean, chuck schumer the most hyper partisan democrat outside of nans pelosi up on the hill right now. totally, completely

irresponsible. we deserve better than that. steve: all right. also a pleasure. dan bongino, thank you for joining us live from florida. brian: congratulations on your book. >> thanks a lot. i appreciate it. steve: it's a good one. president trump unveiling new travel ban and three new countries just added to the list we're live in washington for that. brian: plus, we're bragging, sean hannity is going to be joining us live. he has a huge interview today and new time slot to talk about. geraldo rivera visiting his family and everyone in puerto rico that needs him so much. jason chaffetz will be joining us live on why his republican colleagues aren't working. they are vacationing. ♪ brand new day ♪ ♪ -whoa, he looks -- -he looks exactly like me. -no. -separated at birth much? we should switch name tags, and no one would know who was who. jamie, you seriously think you look like him? uh, i'm pretty good with comparisons. like how progressive helps people save money

chad, libya, syria, venezuela, yemen and somalia. these countries are targeted because the department of homeland security has determined they failed to meet necessary security precautions or they refused to share sufficient information on foreign nationals new to the list as you mentioned north korea, venezuela, and chad the only original country in those first bans to fall off the list is sudan. president trump treated his reasoning behind the new restrictions saying, quote, making america safe is my number one priority. we will not admit those into our country we cannot safely vet. you may recall the president's first ban faced legal challenges of violating constitutional protections along with religious bias. many states arguing it was a muslim ban. while only six of the eight countries in this new ban are muslim majority some civil rights are making the same case. the aclu ainsley ramiro saying in a statement the fact that trump has added north korea with few visitors to the u.s. and few

government officials from venezuela doesn't on if you skatobjectsskate the fact that a muslim ban. new restrictions will be taking effect next month october 18th and currently there are no legal challenges. guys? steve: that's new. griff, thank you very much. live report from d.c. ainsley: not yet at least. steve: meter is running. ainsley: still ahead, what do all of the fans think of all the nfl anthem protests. >> just because you protest and kneeling for the national anthem. it's not against the president. it's against all the veterans that served our country from way back when. ainsley: we sent pete out to find out what they thought. he is here with that next. steve: he is. first. on this date in history 1789 the bill of rights passed congress. in 1981, sandra day o'connor first sat on the supreme court. and in 1968, the number one song in america and the world hay judy by that guy and the rest of the beatles

steve: the president just tweeted this out the issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race, it is about respect for our country, flag, and national anthem. nfl must respect this. pete hegseth, co-host of "fox & friends weekend" went to a big nfl game tailgate yesterday and joins us live. pete: that's exactly right. that's a great point from the president. when you -- the flag is not political. it's not about race. it sees no creed. but when you decide to kneel and make your issue racial profiling or whatever

legitimate grievance you may have and tie it to the anthem and the flag. you politicize the very anthem and flags we stand for. steve: they are doing this at work. the gridiron is their place of employment. that's their office and they are doing it at work. pete: you are right. i went to the jets game yesterday. the jetsy playing the dolphins and i asked the folks if you protested at work what would happen to you murntion other things. you are a fan. did you go to these games. would you stop going if the protests continue. this is what folks had to say. pete: if you walk into this stadium today and a good number of jet players decided to take a knee and protest the national anthem. how would you feel about that? >> i would be embarrassed. >> i am dead against that i'm a veteran. marine corps for years i'm against that. >> it would be a disgrace. unethical for them to do that. >> i will still root for the jets. i wouldn't agree with what they do. >> i would be disappointed if they do. >> nonviolent protest is the way they go. >> do you support what president trump said when he said hey, if these owners, these guys want to kneel for

the anthem then these owners should fire these guys. >> he's fired. he's fired. >> absolutely. i agree with it 150%. >> they are paying these guys to do a job. they are not supposed to be involved in politics. >> they are getting paid to do a job and that's their job is to play ball and do whatever the fans want them to do. >> president trump maybe should get involved in the games and maybe take a hit and get a concussion. >concussion. pete: what would happen if you protested at your worksite. >> i would get canned. >> i would get fired. >> i don't think they should get fired over it. pete: does it effect how you see your team when you see folks kneeling from the anthem. >> not at all. that's separate from the game itself. >> wrong avenue. protest is not the way to do it. you have to have an avenue to make it better. >> if they want to express themselves in that way, they have the right to. i don't think they should be held accountable for anything. >> is there a point as a fan you would step away from the team. >> yes, i would. i'm sorry, it's disgusting.

>> i have stopped watching a lot of sports and football because of what happened last year. pete: i' >> i'm a canadian first of all. but i don't think that's -- you have to respect the country you are in. and those fighting for you. why should you take a to me. i just don't get it. pete: canadians out here rallying for the united states of america. >> absolutely. >> amen. [cheers] >> amen. brian: what's interesting is just going off the president's tweet after what you found most these people are a little bit upset by it wouldn't it be great if the president who he is friends with so many owners get owners together with players instead of just letting this thing play out. why doesn't he have his own version of a beer summit only an effective one. what are the issues? why are you kneeling? do you understand how people are interpreting this? let's get through this. pete: i think we are having the conversation right now. the president was certainly proactive in his speech in alabama. said it differently than some of us might.

spoke for regular people that turn on their television every sunday. i'm here to watch my team and then i watch people protesting the anthem that men and women go fight for. remember the guys when i was in iraq and afghanistan we used to watch armed forces network. and we would tune in, you know, hours ahead to try to watch our teams. the last thing i want to watch in uniform is a protest of the flag. steve: no kidding. pete: flag you are fighting for. a lot of people see it that way. brian: what rats result massive protests everywhere. pete: it's a conversation long overdue and worth having. brian: the president should even fey has time between tax reform and keeping nuclear war from happening in north korea, psychiatry robert craft to hand pick some people, other owners to pick some people to come in and start pushing forward on this. pete: he could. ultimately is he making a critique of political correctness in our culture. i brought a football for you, brian. brian: thank you. steve: pete, how many people offered you a beer at that tailgate. >> many. i accepted none of them.

he's got it good. they know how good we have it here in america. craig: we do and thank you. it is 8:00 here in new york city, jason chaffetz is standing in the wing, but first, we're going to talk about a fox news alert. peter: police say a gunman has now confessed to opening fire on church goers in tennessee killing a woman and wounding seven. craig: an armed usher who was working yesterday is being called a hero for stopping him. elsa: jillian is live outside the church in tennessee and as the story comes together, jillian, i know last hour you were able to get the affidavit to see what he was saying behind closed doors. >> that's right. we did get the affidavit. we were able to read that in which he did admit to what he was accused of doing, killing one woman right outside this church yesterday morning, injuring six others inside. his name, emmanuel sampson. we do have his picture. i know you just showed that a

couple of seconds ago he came from sudan in 1996. we know all of that. what we don't know is exactly why. that's what police are trying to figure out. prishers say he used to attend this church several years ago, and they didn't recognize him yesterday because he was wearing a mask. he is in police custody charged with murder. more details are going to emerge throughout the day today. 39-year-old melanie smith was the woman shot and killed right outside this which you knew. as i mentioned, six others injured inside. when you see tragedies like this, you hear stories of heroes that emerge here at the scene, and we've heard two so far. one is the pastor who immediately when he saw the gunman, he yelled for everybody to run, to get out as quickly as possible. one woman we talked to last night was inside the church told us he saved my life. the usher robert angle got into an altercation with

gunman. listen to police. >> mr. angle is the hero here. mr. angle was pistol whipped during this struggle. sampson was shot with his own weapon. when he went down, mr. angle went to his vehicle, he's a handgun permit carry holder and came back into the church with a gun and made sure that sampson stayed on the ground until police officers arrived. >> so people say if it hadn't been for both the pastor and usher, they don't know how this would have turned out. they were lucky and thankful they were there. there will be a vigil at another church near downtown nashville. guys. craig: all right. jillian, thank you very much. joining us on the couch, jason chaffetz, fox news contributor. it could have been a lot worse but a gun owner went to get

his gun, and made sure he stayed on the ground. >> the guy's going to church, next thing you know he's going out to his car and saving an untold number of lives. god bless him. we need more like it. elsa: absolutely. an usher in a volunteer position. meanwhile, the number one story was the president on friday expect a massive show of protest in the nfl sunday, and it began a at the stadium in england. >> it's disgusting. here they're playing the national anthem, players are going to play football in london, and they kneel for god the america and stand for god save the queen. and the pittsburgh steeler, get a copy of what he's doing. he's doing the right thing. craig: he's an instant hero to many. 28 years old. two tours of duty in

afghanistan. a bronze star and listen. there it is right there. he's the lone steeler standing in public during the national anthem. >> standing for the flag. standing for the national anthem. you know, this is where president trump is on this. i think that's where america is on this. and i -- god bless him for actually doing it because i think he represented the united states the way we all want to be represented. sports is something that they don't want to get politics engaged in. i want to go there. i don't care where you are on the political spectrum. i want to go and join a game and root for a team, and i think it's disgusting what they're doing. the national anthem. peter: a lot of people agree with the president. you have both sides of this issue. a lot of people out there too afraid to talk about it because many people will could you say them for being racist. the president said the comments were not about race. can we put up this tweet, please? it was up there. craig: the issue of kneeling.

nfl must respect this. >> so what is your message to those people who don't see eye to eye with the president who are hurting or upset with the direction of this country, and had do see it as racist? >> look, it's the flag. it's the national anthem. it's the united states of america. if -- when you put on that uniform, you've got to do what your coach tells you to do. if you want to -- when you're off the field in your own time be involved in something, great, go ahead and do that. but when they're playing the national anthem, i don't care who you are, where you are, you stand, and you give respect for this men and women, the millions of people who served this nation. >> before the president's remarks ten players took a seat. now over 200 players took a seat. now you have nfl owners coming in with the players locking arms with the players. so it has turned. even though 60 perverse of the public is against sitting out on the national anthem, it has clearly gotten worse. would you like to see the

president try to get ahead of this, call some owners in, some players in, some outside colin kaepernick, other guys to come in there and start working through this? >> they can talk it out. great. but i think has made his point. i think fans are speaking with their dollars and their eyeballs. they're not watching as much football. they're not going to as many games. the rams are a pretty good team. they're selling tickets for about the same price you can buy a pretzel, and there's a disgusting element to people who won't respect the flag that americans are going to speak with their wallets and eyeballs. >> should we just accept that we're going to be divisive? or should we try to get together on this? people in those locker rooms are great people. >> they are good people, and i respect that they have different viewpoints. but when we're talking about the national anthem. when we're talking about the flag of the united states of america, you stand and give respect for those two minutes. it's this two minutes where we set everything else aside and put our country first.

>> yeah, and remember the people who did make the ultimate sacrifice. >> and the president has been clear. he knows exactly how this is not to end. he wants them to stand. period. >> but it's not going to end that way unless somebody comes together. it's not going to happen organically. meanwhile, 60 minutes last night, they're trying to get to the bottom of the relationship between him and the president. listen. >> did he ever apologize for saying you're not a hero? >> no. >> if the president wanted to have a moment with you, would you be receptive? >> of course. of course. >> there are some people who think that part of your know was to get back at the president and that the thumbs down was kind of more like a middle finger to him. >> if i took offense at everybody who has said something about me or disparaged me or something like that, life is too short. you've got to move on.

and on a issue of this importance to the nation for me to worry about a personal relationship, then i'm not doing my job. >> you think he's moved on? >> i think those were great questions, and i think he gave some honest answers. but the fact remains that we're missing this opportunity. did the choice before the united states senate is do you want obamacare? or do you want something that's a step better? and i recognize it's not nearly what i think it should be. but is it better than before? and we can't even get republicans to vote republica r. >> and that was the point that louie from the great state of texas had with us about two hours ago. and, in fact, he went so far as to go maybe it's time for the people of arizona to recall senator mccain. watch this. >> he is one of those that said i will repeal -- if he had said last year what he was going to do, kelly ward would have beat him, anne kirkpatrick would have beat him. but, you know, nothing inhibits recovery from cancer like stress. i think arizona could help him

and us recall him, let him fight success for this terrible cancer, and let's get somebody in here. we'll keep the word last year. >> do you think about the recall effort? >> i think that was a bit over the top. i disagree with those comments from my former colleague louie. but nevertheless, every republican complained on the idea that we were going to repeal and replace. i voted more than 50 times while i was in the house to repeal and replace obamacare. do you think when we were playing with live fire that they actually brought that bill up to vote on? no, they didn't. >> so you saw a bill that you said should replace obamacare. where is that bill? >> we voted on it more than 50 times then when we had a president that would sign it, they didn't bring that bill up for vote. the problem is we're coming for september. when you pass a budget, if you don't pass it, then you lose the ability to use reconciliation to get to the

50-vote threshold. so after that, it goes up to 60 votes that they have to get, and it makes it that much harder. >> more optimistic about the bill, this week, it seems not so much. >> look, congress is out of session in all of august because of the storms, they were only in session for seven days. i think four of those were fly in and fly out days. they've been out the last ten days, they're coming into session today, and wednesday they're going to take off because they're going to go off-site and talk about what they think should be in the tax reform bill. >> you say are outraged. >> just beyond themselves because they these are good, decent people who are working hard. can anybody tell you what's in the tax reform bill? no. is there a replacement bill for health care? no. what are we doing about north korea? don't have that and what are we going to do about the budget? haven't been able to pass it. it's due in law. it was supposed to be passed by april 15th. it's september, and they still don't have a budget. >> it's a numbers game.

he'll be on outnumbered today at 12:00 noon. jason chaffetz. thank you very much. >> when you come, we will wear you out. thanks, jason. are americans really ready to use military action? we'll give you the numbers. craig: plus, new york city mayor bill de blasio knows what happens to hillary. his theory is a doozy. elsa: it's so valuable.

you'll see me soon. brian: i will find you. i know how to. okay? >> that's right. i have skills. hey, listen, nothing should be surprised about what's going on in north korea. this is where it was going to be. victor david hanson was one of my favorite writers. like, america was controlled of a rogue state that was belligerent to all of china's allies and how long would that go on? there would have been a war already. so i mean, there's a lot going on. we have the second infantry division there. there's a lot of conventional forces. but this would have had to have been done sooner or later. so, yeah, it's edgy, and it's a bit scary, but this has to be done. at least in some way, he has to be put in his place. >> right. and right now, if you ask the american people about this, because he does have nuclear weapons, they were asked, and they say 58% favor using diplomatic efforts for 35% are opposed to doing it. we're at the point now, terry, whoever was the 45th president would be dealing the same

way. but some in the state department are worried about the tone of the president. are you? >> no. i'm not that worried about it. listen, president trump's going to be president trump. this is how he's going to be. he's always been this way. i actually kind of filtered out a lot of the way he says stuff or what he says. you bring a good point. someone -- whoever was in charge right now has to deal with this. i think president trump's at least strong stance is the right way to go. because it has gotten us nothing to this point. we placated them, we played games with them, and we got nothing for it. we can't discount that. ignore the talk. i tell people in the u.s. please, just ignore the talk and just watch what the president does. more importantly, watch what our enemies do in response to him. that's what really matters. brian: terry, overwhelmed because of this nfl stuff over the weekend. but last week was a great week for the president and making

diplomatic inroads with some of the people we need to put the pressure on north korea. namely, china. that's what i sent. he's building up the personal relationships just eight months in. >> yeah. you're right, man. here's the thing. north korea has been china's pit bull for quite a long time now. and china knows this. but china also has a good gig dealing with the west. and they realize if forecast goes too far, that money, that gig, that's going to go away. so eventually, this is going to work in china's interest to curb north korea and, again, people don't realize. that part of the world values strength. it values, you know, someone with an iron fist behind it. and before this, we haven't had a president who was really that way. brian: and i'm glad you put your personal animosity towards me aside to talk about this. thank you so much, terry. coming up straight ahead, do

you think you heard it all when it comes to insulting our president? london mayor just weighed in. he hit a new low. and geraldo herrera in puerto rico telling us how bad it is. man, it is bad. can i get some help. watch his head. ♪ i'm so happy. ♪ whatever they went through, they went through together. welcome guys. life well planned. see what a raymond james financial advisor can do for you.

ainsley: the mayor of london comparing frump isis. listen. >> think about what you're saying. because what you're saying is not dissimilar to what so-called isis say. they say there's a clash of civilizations. it's not possible to be a muslim and a westerner. ainsley: says he's offended by the president's new travel ban calling his views toward islam i agree norton.

but great britain might want to adopt the president's tough stance on terror because isis has their target now set on prince harry. a new tries to shows a fighter from singapore telling the royal quote come fight us fuhrman enough. saying he's going to be sent to hell. the clip in response to harry speaking out on terror to a trip to singapore. steve: anthem protest spread across sports and the president reducing to sit on the sidelines after this. the issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. it's about respect for our country, flag, and national anthem. nfl must respect this. we have a panel this morning, fox news contributor david web and former new york city police department army web aaron. good morning both to both of you. >> good morning, steve. steve: doctor, let's start with you. after the president on friday night said, essentially, that nfl owners should fire players who don't stand, it hit the

fan. and there were hundreds of players who took part in the protest. what happened next? >> you have to take in consideration donald trump's stance. he opined on the statements in terms of these people taking a kneel for the flag. steve: right? >> i understood, and i agreed with that. but we all know donald trump is not a resonate type of guy. however, we need to focus on a strategy here so to speak. one of the things is players need to stand for the national anthem. but in addition to that, how the nfl can gain a mulligan on this is to bring out military families during a national anthem in addition to that have been have the nfl owners sponsor these families in these luxury boxes. coupled with the oftentimes -- we have -- we take into consideration a fan base. with the nfl owners should do is they should hold a series of town hall meetings with the season ticket holders and then

gain what the post of these ticket holders is because ultimately, it's the fans that drive the nfl and the fans have clearly stated that they want players to stand for the national anthem. and this would bolster advertisement and greater ticket sales with the nfl. steve: david, what do you think about the doctor's idea of these military families coming in during the national anthem, it would be hard for a player to kneel. >> i actually don't think so. by the way, i think the suggestions are great. if they really want to see something about this, then get out and have an actual conversation. i agree with that. the players that are doing this. i can't speak for every one of them. but some of them by the name of own statements would do this no matter who's standing in front of me. there's a picture that has gone viral actually posted by a former nypd officer and a friend of mine this morning. or he retweeted and others have retweeted it. and it's a police officer saluting behind the patriots

players kneeling. the conversation needs to happen. if it's going to happen, it's not going to happen in the hyperbolic world of people kneeling of call it -- -- i call it inner city elites with a lot of money who then don't go out and do nothing. what has colin kaepernick done since he kneeled? did he go into the inner cities? did he go to the bad neighborhoods and work with them to keep kids in school? to build better education systems? to help cleanup crime in these areas? steve: you know, it all got started with colin kaepernick a year ago when he kneeled. whenever since then, there have been so many people kneeling, i was reading something today where it said it has been unclear why various players are kneeling. is it because of racism in policing, racism in general, or solidarity with the other player? >> it has become like the pet rock of politics. that's really what it is. where they're doing it. but now it passes on in a dangerous way socially where 8-year-olds are kneeling and

their coaches ar aren't giving them full context. these 8-year-olds don't know why they're on their needs. their helmets are bigger than their shoulder pads. this is about team sports. about working together. you should be learning about the country. you should be learning about the context about what the anthem and the flag stand for. and what they represent. their rights are not in question. they can kneel, stand, or whatever. the nfl is a private organization, and they better send a message that while at wimbledon or the stadium in london, they stand for god save the queen where if their own logic applied, they should not stand. they kneeled for the flag. >> i think that as americans, we need to respect and honor traditions that have brought this to be the great nation that it is. we need to progressively get away from these sports emotions, and they need to focus on playing the game. if you want to practice your first amendment rights, that's fine. we live in a great nation. however, do it on

your own time. not in front of us as a national audience. steve: well, donald trump on friday saw something he didn't like, and called them out, and now we're talking about it. guys, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: so what do you think about that? e-mail us. meanwhile, coming up, complete devastation in puerto rico after hurricane maria. but our own geraldo herrera was able to reunite with his family in the middle of it this weekend. steve: his family okay. and he joins us from puerto rico coming up. and then president trump unveiling new travel restrictions to keep america safe. our friend sean hannity here to react to that. plus, he's got big news of his own.

a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home... ...with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. neulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%... ...a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to

neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro.

>> over the last 24 hours, he has added fuel to the fierce debate in this country over race and tolerance. politics and sports. now he's again inserting himself into the debate over race in america. >> stadiums like these are for football. but after president trump's comments and criticisms, it's about so much more. stars across the sports world are speaking out about what one called th the president's divisive rhetoric. >> the white house likes this fight. they think this is ultimately good politics for them. they think that they're on the right side of this and that somehow it will be the left or some of these players that overstep. i don't know. we'll see. this feels like a culture war that's exploding right before our eyes. >> there is an unmistakable racial element to the story. in the subtext, the awkward subtext is a question we asked

a few weeks ago on this program. is president trump a racist? is he making racist appeals to his supporters? ainsley: here to answer that question. brian: is sean hannity, a big fan of his. and brian. >> here's shan. >> why is it so difficult? we live in the most incredible times here. it's incredible to unite around our country, our flag, our anthem. all of those people that we remembered that fought and bled for our lives if they really want to take a knee. the president mentioned nothing about race, and it's very, very typical, though, of the media environment that we live in is like knee-jerk obsessive compulsive hatred of the president and anything that he says or does, and it's kind of pretty typical, to be

honest. steve: sean, the nfl set a let him protest policy long time before what president trump did what he did in alabama. now how are things going to change? are they going to wind up not playing the national anthony them.? are they going to play the national anthem and the team will be in the locker room? how does this end? >> you know, i don't think it's really that hard here people's no. the nfl is going to have to make a decision. because in my mind, probably the country -- this is a 70/30, 80/20 issue and americans like to honor their country. they want to respect their flag, they want to be one nation under god, and i just think the nfl is going to see an erosion than their ratings and revenue. i think players are going to see their contract numbers begin to go down and once it starts hurting their bottom line, i think they're going to realize maybe the american people would rather see football and would rather join and honor their country first.

ainsley: sean, what was your reaction to nascar? they said if any of our drivers decide to do this and take a knee, you're fired. and then you have the pittsburgh steelers, he's a former army ranger. did three tours in afghanistan. he came out while all of his team was still in the locker room and the coach didn't support him doing this, and we have video of that playing right now. he came out for the national anthem with his hand over his heart because he knows. he's been overseas. >> that was a powerful moment and probably the most powerful moment over the weekend. i remember i met robert kraft. he owns the patriots. i know how much brian loves the patriots. but we sat, and we were talking about it, and this was after colin kaepernick had started all the things that he was doing, and he said that he took his players, those that wanted to make statements, and they went around some of the tougher areas of boston, and he told all of his players i'll match dollar for dollar

any charity you want to be involved in that's going to help our community as a means of dealing with this. now, i think he took a little bit of a different position yesterday. there's too many people. the fans of football really there's probably not one of them that don't know somebody that went and fought and bled and died for the country. and they fought under that flag. and that anthem means a lot to americans. brian: yeah, i mean, it's just the whole way the president did it friday. and then he's come and trying to further clarify. there's nothing to do with race since then, sean. let me ask you something. if the president says i can bring everybody together, why not be proactive? at least eight nfl owners gave to his campaign. he has relationships with a lot of them. why not give the players the most -- the michael bennett's of the world who were taking a knee anyway and start having a series of meetings with some teeth in it to try to move forward with this?

because i think it would mean a lot if they could solve the problem rather than continue to bite them. i don't care where you are on the issue. we just don't need another issue dividing us. don't you agree? >> you know, i don't even think it's practical, you know? the country is so divided that if i thought it could bear some fruit, i guess -- if i thought it could bear fruit, i think on the other hand i think that this really should be a no-brainer. and i think, ultimately, this is how it's going to be decided. if these players, if these teams, if they continue to go down the road, you know, think of the average cause for the average family when they go to a baseball or football game. it's in the hundreds of dollars. by the time you get popcorn, beer, get coke for the kids, ice cream for the kids, get a decent seat, you're spending $1,000 to go to a football game, and it's going to insult so many americans, and i think people are going to

naturally. i don't believe in boycotts. but i think people are naturally going to get turned off and turned away. and when it starts happening, it's going to affect the bottom line. last i heard, you're not allowed to twerk in the end zone. >> or do what o'dell beckham did the other day. ainsley: we don't let him do it here either. >> great god i'm watching in the morning. you can't put on your uniform a statement. is that a violation of your free speech rights? steve: well, they do have a flag on their helmet, which is important. it may cost hundreds to go to a football game or football game, but free to the viewing public if you're watching this channel, you can see sean hannity moving back to 9:00. and it's a big premier. what have you got planned? >> we're going to have one of the big battles going on now is the race in alabama for senate and luther strange versus roy moore.

and it's an interesting spin-off here. i would argue that this election tomorrow is more about establishment republicanism and mitch mcconnell has been pouring a fortune for luther strange. the president has a friendship to luther strange but most conservatives are going for roy more. he's got an 18% approval generating i in kentucky. they're not getting a whole lot done. they couldn't repeal and replace. the lindsey graham cassidy bill is on life support. so i think that race will be defined by mitch mcconnell, more than anything else. brian: i'm just exciting that we can watch your whole show now as a morning show host. it helps us as americans to be able to watch sean hannity at 9:00 p.m. steve: are you admitting you weren't watching it before? what? from 10:30 -- you know, from 10:30 to 11:00, i nod off. >> yeah. but, brian, you basically fill every spare hour of every day. i don't know. every time i turn on the network, you're there.

brian: i think it just turned into an attack on me. ainsley: sean, we're happy for you. brian: and knock out rachel maddow. can you make that happen? >> listen, the cable wars. you have so many people that are really just obsessed with hating the president, conspiracy theories against the president, we're going to be such a different show that i'm not worried about what the other two are doing. steve: all right. sean, good luck. >> steve bannon tonight, his first cable interview since leaving the white house. steve: 12 hours and 18 minutes from right now on this channel. ainsley: thank you. also, fox news alert. widespread devastation in puerto rico after hurricane maria and the problems could last months. brian: and geraldo herrera just met with his family in puerto rico. he joins us next from san juan

he didn't respond to that injustice by failing to stand for the national anthem. i think what these players are doing is absolutely wrong. these players ought to be thanking god that they live in a country where they're not only free to earn millions of dollars every year, but they're also free from the worry of being shot in the head for taking a knee like they would be with the were in north korea. and i think tens of millions of americans agree with president trump when he says they ought to be called out for this. i know this president. president trump is not a racist. for president trump, this is not about race, it's about respect of country. ainsley: what do you think? do you agree with him? >> well, i think this. look, these guys have the right to protest. but after they protested, they

need to do something to move forward to dialogue. as an american, i love this country. i have a responsibility to not only to protest, but to defend its flag, to defend its borders, and to be in a vigorous american part of the american dialogue and the american debate and the american discussion. simply protesting is not enough. after you've gotten up off your knee in prayer, you need to take action and do something about it. i would not make that personal choice to disrespect the flag or to not stand for the national anthem because of all the family members that i've had who have served in the military honorably. i would not make that choice. but i have to give these guys face. but we give them too much credit. they are only athletes. they are not navy seals. these are not military people. these are entertainers who get paid millions of dollars to entertain us. they are not the spokespeople that we want to promote them

to be. >> ainsley, many of these players claim to be strong christians, and i believe they are, and i think they ought to remember what jesus said. jesus said render onto caesar the things that are caesars and the things that are god's. we have a responsibility toward our government. we our government not just our taxes but our respects and our prayers. and i think that needs to be kept in mind in all of this discussion. ainsley: final word, reverend. >> i was at a concert on saturday and great worldwide entertainer stevie wonderer took a knee in prayer. that's what we need to do to have a knee in prayer, protest is not enough. we need prayer as well. ainsley: gentlemen, thank you so much. god bless you and god bless america. we need your prayers and your preaching. we'll be right back kevin, meet your father. kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin
