7:00 pm
left. tomorrow night i'm not going to be in this chair. we are going to las vegas for a very special reason. but i can't tell you now. we will tell you tomorrow, from vegas. thanks for being with us. ♪ >> good evening, everyone. i'm trish ragan. welcome to "fox news tonight." if he announcing today it will still allow its players to kneel during the national anthem. this despite outrage from patriotic fans and opposition from president trump who treated out earlier... nfl, too much talk. not enough action. stand for the national anthem. nfl commissioner roger goddell spoke to the press today after meeting with nfl players, owners and union officials. it all led to no action on the anthem. >> we have about six or seven
7:01 pm
players that are involved with this protest at this point. this is something that we try to do, dealing with the underlying issue and understand what it is that they are protesting in trying to address that matter. we finish. the important thing for us is to be able to do that and take that opportunity to make real differences in our community. >> trish: commissioner roger goddell did state that his preference is for the players to stand for the anthem. and also discuss what is motivating the players to meal. >> there talk about criminal justice reform, whether it is bail reform, talking about sentencing, mandatory sentencing. they are talking about changes that will make our communities better. there is bipartisan support for it across our nation. >> trish: the commissioner also discussed things but again offered a defense for his players. >> i understand where our fans
7:02 pm
feel about this issue and we feel the same way about the importance of our flag and patriotism and i believe our players feel that way, they will stay to you and they stated publicly they are not doing this in any way to be disrespectful to the flag. >> trish: joining us now for reaction in houston, boyd cooper, the cochair of the 21 project and in los angeles, leo terrel, radioed talk show host and civil rights attorney. we will talk with you. roger goddell had an opportunity here. he had an opportunity to take a stand and say something meaningful and he didn't. why? >> i was going to say it was an incomplete pass. >> trish: i like the analogy. >> the american people have made it very clear that they do reject this behavior. it's disrespectful. it is up to roger goddell and the nfl to decide, are we going
7:03 pm
to be responsive to the concerns that the american people have expressed? these are white americans, blackberries, brown americans across the board. we reject this behavior and it's disrespectful and now we are going to see the trend continue a few reviewers, fewer ticket buying, fewer support for the nfl. if roger goddell -- >> trish: horace, you are right. he's not responding to his consumers. he's not responding to his viewers and at some point, he leo, he's going to pay a bigger price down the road. as ratings fall, revenue falls and that at the end of the day is really what this is going to be all about. >> i respectfully disagree with the following reasons. let's be clear about this for the american public watching this program. racial injustice makes people nervous. that's the first qualm.
7:04 pm
caddell cannot make these players stand because it's not a selective bargaining agreement. for horace and a lot of people criticizing these players, these players are kneeling. do you know what most americans do when the football for the national anthem is on, they get a beer. to know what some fans do? they want to get another hotdog. let's have an honest conversation about all those people criticizing players. they get up there and run to the kitchen. >> trish: but it's pretty simple, right? these guys are working for a team owner. they are working for that owner that ultimately has the right to decide whether or not they stand for the anthem. think about it, google is a great example. let me finish. there was an engineer at google who said something very bad about women and why he didn't think they were engineers. guess what? google fired him. at google have the right to fire him and in this case, the
7:05 pm
players have every possible opportunity to get fired as well. >> let me respond, google has nothing to do with this. it is called a collective bargaining agreement. there's nothing in the collective bargaining agreement that requires these players to stand. you know that and i know that. >> >> trish: they are collecting a paycheck. let me just get horace back into the conversation. do you think this is what it's going to come down to? is roger goddell so afraid of these players? are the team owners so afraid of these players walking off the field that they are allowing them to basically thumb their nose at the american public? >> a few bad eggs may in fact -- >> oh, my god. >> may in fact ruin a multibillion dollar industry. leo explained that because some americans at the stadiums use
7:06 pm
the time that we should be honoring the flag in a way that is not honorable, that means everybody should be disrespectful because that is exactly what this behavior is, that is how it's perceived. and even when the players are - are -- -- >> that's amazing pair that's amazing that we are going to -- >> trish: hang tight. keep going. >> they can't even give us a specific and detailed outline of their critique. if they wanted to do that, they can do that on their time. >> trish: not on their employer's time. i hear he appeared to speak of the president has hijacked it issues to make it about patriotism. racial injustice -- racial injustice makes people nervous. again, trish, collective bargaining agreement, a contract between players and owners, you don't have to stand. the fans are getting what they want. a football game. how many people in the american public watching this program
7:07 pm
with the national anthem goes on, home to go to the kitchen and get another hot dog? tell the truth! a lot of people don't even stand when they are watching the game. >> trish: what does that have to do with anything? that's a bunch of baloney. no, no, no. i will tell you one thing, every cycle time i hear the national anthem -- every single time i sing the national anthem, i get goose bumps. i feel very privileged and honored to grow up in this country with all the opportunities i have had. do you know what? you're pretty darn lucky if you are collecting a pretty nice paycheck working for the nfl. shouldn't you honor the opportunity cost back >> do know what makes this country great? people have the right to have a different opinion. is it racial injustice in this country customer that's with the players are talking about. is there racial injustice in this country? >> trish: why is that an issue that is suddenly creeping into football, horace? why can't we just watch a game which is entertaining?
7:08 pm
hang on, let's let horace answer the question. >> they get paid on average $2 million. this is the strangest oppression i've ever heard of. the second point is, everyone understands if leo was right, we don't care what's going on -- we are going to the refrigerator and all of that why did they pick that time to make this expression? they wanted to hit us in the jugular and claim that america, our nation -- >> the jugular? oh, my god. >> that's the reason they are attacking it. it's wrong and disrespectful. >> so far, i am the only one still talking about the law, the collective bargaining agreement, racial justice and let me be very clear about this. there's a guy like lebron james, a football player donating his check?
7:09 pm
there's a problem in this country. it's called racial injustice. >> trish: there's plenty of opportunities to do that on your own time. i get it. if you want to pick a political cause. i hear you. i agree there is racial injustice out there but why are you doing that at a time when you are collecting a check from a team owner and people are sitting down looking forward to watching the game? >> leo, you are the one -- >> who says they can't protest? >> trish: one at a time. final thoughts, horace. >> it's amazing that two people on national tv to tell 340 million people how to protest. >> your misunderstanding it entirely. >> why is my protest relevant? >> the american people are protesting this behavior themselves by choosing not to watch, by choosing not to protest, by choosing not to -- >> so what? >> the collapse of the nfl, if the nfl doesn't --
7:10 pm
>> shame on you! >> trish: i will point out the inconsistencies with the nfl and roger goddell. where was he on the domestic violence? where was he really? there is no reason any of those players should have been out on the field when they were doing what they were doing, including the ray rice video we all saw. >> let me respond to that. >> trish: no, no. leo. where was roger goddell when all of the news surfaced about these concussions? if roger goddell and the nfl and the team owners actually cared about their players, they would have been out in front of all these issues. they were nowhere to be found. it didn't matter economically. i tell you what, sir. a paycheck does matter and is probably going to be what decides this when ratings keep going down. >> in response to that, he just suspended is a gil elliott for six games and more important, the nfl did something other companies should have done.
7:11 pm
they didn't give arizona a super bowl until they acknowledged mlk day. don't tell me the nfl is not socially progressive. my hats off to roger goddell, he's taken action. >> trish: included domestic violence, including concussions. we conclude the segment right there. thank you horace and leo. attorney general jeff sessions squaring off against left-wing senators over sanctuary cities. that report is moments away. i will see you here. shut down cold symptoms fast with maximum strength alka seltzer plus liquid gels. >> tech: don't wait for a chip like this to crack your whole windshield. with safelite's exclusive resin, you get a strong repair that you can trust.
7:12 pm
plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> singers: safelite repair, safelite replace. "honey, i am way too whendecadent for you."aid, i came up with o, that's good! comfort soups like broccoli cheddar... with a twist of butternut squash. o... -mmm ...that's good!

7:15 pm
>> trish: attorney general jeff sessions was up on capitol hill today where he had an intense back-and-forth exchange with dick durbin. out-of-control murder rates in chicago is the reason for this exchange, which also happens to be a six ray city. chicago, that is. take a look. >> i think the politicians cannot say if you remove a violent criminal from america that is illegally in the country and he is arrested by chicago police and put in chicago jail, once they release them, they should not be turned over to the federal i.c.e. officer so they can be removed from the country.
7:16 pm
they were here illegally to begin with. much less committed another crime. how does that make city of chicago safer? if you don't remove criminals who are illegally in the country customer >> you cannot throw a bouquet to local police and ignore what the police in chicago tells you has nothing to do with gun violence. you want to cut off federal funds to that city and come here and criticize the murder rate. >> i've increased the number of atf agents with gun crimes across chicago. 12, quite a large number. more than any other city i believe. >> the united states governmentn take over law enforcement for the city of chicago. we are doing it for new york and we are not doing it for a lot of other places. we've made a surge of atf as in chicago and we will continue to work with you. i'd do not want to not have grants don't go to chicago but we need their support.
7:17 pm
on some is invested in the jail that's due to be deported, we simply ask the call us. >> trish: joining me for reaction, fox news contributor who is also a member of trump's hispanic advisory council, steve, good to see you again. i just saw you yesterday in chicago. a very nice town. you're lucky to live there. in some ways. in other ways, not so much. it's poorly run. what is your meal mayor still - >> it's a magnificent town and in the heartland of america which makes it all the more tragic that blue policies are in many ways ruining this city. we are as broke as greece and we are about as dangerous as afghanistan. this is the most dangerous city in the developed world and that's not my opinion. that's a statistical fact.
7:18 pm
in this counter year, north 500 homicides. and rather than dealing with the carnage in our streets, what is our mayor doing? and what is senator durbin doing? grandstanding and trying to claim that we are a sanctuary city. trish, a sanctuary for whom? it's not sanctuary for the victims of crime and criminals who are allowed to hide in plain sight, people that don't belong here in the first place. and then despite committing additional crimes, and also the chicago cops that have to deal with this terrible situation. >> trish: the administration is being anti-immigrant? maybe this gives them a better shot in the next election cycle. unfortunately that's the crude reality of it. do not want what, steve? the people are paying the price of the process. those athletes and homicide rates in chicago. >> you are exactly right. there's a crude political calculus here.
7:19 pm
in this regard, people like rahm emanuel and senator durbin, do you know who they remind me of? they will hate this but it's true, the southern governors and mayors in the 1960s during the civil rights era. they remind me a lot of george wallace, who for cold partisan political reasons said i'm going to ignore federal law because i have a provincial name here and my first priority is not enforcing the civil rights of my people. it's my political agenda. >> trish: it's such a comparison. in many ways, it's a stark contrast to different and yet -- essentially, it's the same kind of thing. if you have a federal law, you can't sit there and say we are not going to obey it one by the way, the people in your very city are at risk because you are not obeying federal law. >> they are at risk. political correctness sometimes isn't just dumb, you can actually be deadly.
7:20 pm
we all know the case of kate steinle in san francisco, so horrific. there's a young woman just outside of the city, in cold blood she was raped and murdered on easter sunday. she didn't show up to easter sunday service. her killer was an illegal immigrant in the united states who had already served time in our prison and yet was not deported. it's impossible we can somehow justify that it's an okay scenario. >> trish: do take away federal funding? do you say okay, we will have to send the feds in there to get this under control because you and chicago can't do it yourself? >> that might be part of it. that was done in the south in the 1960s. part of it will be what attorney general sessions talked about, let's use the power of the purse. this is a city in tremendous fiscal woes. if you want to jeopardize
7:21 pm
federal funds for this ridiculous stance that you call sanctuary? it's not sanctuary, i called the medicaid cities. if you want to jeopardize federal funds over that, i would have been to this too, i called the renegade cities. a lot of these -- the neighborhoods where they often reside, to mayor emanuel and others, stop trying to grandstand and pretend as though you are protecting hispanics. the reality is, legal hispanic citizens suffer the most from these begotten policies that make you very popular in places like beverly hills and maybe in brooklyn and georgetown in washington, d.c., but on the ground in chicago, at cost people their lives. >> trish: the reality of having to live with the actual situation. if you are not rahm emanuel and you can't afford the security team -- >> rete pay for the security
7:22 pm
team. >> trish: right, good point. directly ahead, the security guard lauded as a hero for confronting the las vegas shooter is speaking out about the ordeal but why are there so many unanswered questions about the deadliest shooting in modern american history? we have analysis straight ahead. and once-weekly trulicity activates my body to release it. trulicity is not insulin. it comes in a once-weekly, truly easy-to-use pen. it works 24/7, and you don't have to see or handle a needle. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take trulicity if you have a personal
7:23 pm
or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, if you have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you're allergic to trulicity. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or symptoms like itching, rash, or trouble breathing. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. i choose once-weekly trulicity to activate my within. if you need help lowering your a1c and blood sugar, activate your within. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity.
7:26 pm
>> trish: mandalay bay resort and casino security guard jesus compos was the first person to confront the las vegas shooter as he was unleashing hell. mr. campos spoke for the first time in an interview on allen. watch. >> as i was walking down, i heard wrapped fire and at first, i took cover. i felt the burning sensation.
7:27 pm
i went to go lift my pant leg off and i saw the blood. that's when i called it in on the radio that shots had been fired. >> trish: so many questions remain about the shooting, including what motivated stephen paddock to kill somebody in a innocent individuals. joining us for reaction is aaron cohen. and buck sexton, a former cia analyst and radio talk show host. aaron, are we getting closer to finding a motive? >> i don't think so. i don't. i think the reality of this particular case involving this shooter regardless of what the mental health experts want to say about trying to zero in on this profile which has been very difficult, obviously. we have zero fingerprints. zero forensic. no after print. there's nothing on this guy. this is as cold as it gets. what i don't think we are getting any closer here and
7:28 pm
unfortunately, it's making it very difficult to profile these typically type of things. >> trish: i question why we aren't piecing more of this together. trust me, if there's any place that has a lot of cameras around, it is a casino, right? i would think they would be able to go through all of the stages and we would be getting some hints and clues about how he did all this and in and importantly, why he did all this. are we that poorly staffed that they can't figure out anything? >> trish, there was an assumption in the first two days after this because of the mass of amount of time of the people suffered and law enforcement with overwhelmed. with investigative information, we should give law enforcement sometime. maybe they had more information and they were able to tell us. maybe in the first three or five
7:29 pm
days. now we've got deep into this and i agree with what aaron just said. we are no closer to him out of the end we were. i thought honestly within a few days it was a distinct possibility after this incident that we would never really have an ironclad sense of what the moment was. this would be an individual was clearly a psychopath, deeply disturbed and i've seen some people try to insinuate that because he did not have a clinical diagnosis we can't say things like he was a psychopath. i would disagree with that without being a psychiatrist. clearly he didn't care what he did and who he hurts. if you are politically motivated, you would leave behind not just clues but usually a manifesto. if that existed, we would have known. >> trish: we would have found that by now. how does the public deal at this? how will it be harder to profile people like this in the future? they are asking questions about how something like this could ever happen and certainly if you
7:30 pm
are a victim of this or you lost a loved one in this, you want answers. >> i completely hear where you are coming from. i get that the public, there's an outcry and conspiracies started to flow around because there are no answers. here's where i come out, buck and i have been able to put together mosaics and profiles based on terrorist you can put together an actual picture. my answer to the audience will be this really becomes an issue of self protection. the security guard interviewed on "ellen" today, i'm curious, was he armed? did he have a medical kit to clot his own bleeding in order to prevent being killed as the blood was coming out? it's about personal safety and being able to exercise a combination of both your second amendment rights, in terms of
7:31 pm
being able to protect yourself and carry a weapon as needed, and getting all of the behavioral training and putting yourself in positions where you can see exits. tapping into our veterans -- making sure that your plain clothes officers have the tools to be able to identify themselves that they are off-duty. these are the true first responders. >> trish: by the way, tessa "ellen?" there is a whole mystery around that one. he went missing for a week? he was supposedly to sit down with "hannity" on our network first and shows up on ellen's show and says that's the only media interview he's doing. it's because she did at the question that everyone really wanted to hear an answer to. it's good to hear the story of heroism and what he did in this very terrifying and difficult moment that he was confronted by this government and realized what was going on. we want to know why the timeline was wrong. why was there a shift in
7:32 pm
information? that was easy to discern. one thing that has not gotten very much coverage, there are lawsuits all over the place right now with regard to this incident. there are people suing mandalay bay, the concert venue, everybody and anybody. those losses have already been filed. that might be affecting the way some of this information is or is not getting out, the way it has been processed. the casino floor, because that's where the money is, it has all the cameras we have ever imagined. the hotel hallways though? not so much. >> trish: they might have some liability here. mgm is the company that owns mandalay bay. >> i believe the guard was not armed. >> trish: that will be a question too. do you need better security in these hotels? you know las vegas. >> if you're going to have
7:33 pm
security, the the casinos have some of the finest security protecting the money but how are we going to protect the crowd? >> i agree and we should have more on security to defend people in places like this but the reason -- it goes to liability. security in vegas don't get paid much more for carrying and they actually that are carrying a weapon that if something goes wrong, they just don't want to carry in some circumstances. we need to change that thinking. >> trish: aaron and buck, good to see you guys. hillary clinton visiting south korea today. you are not going to believe what she had to say. we are going to tell you after this quick break. i will see you here. on your min. thinking about what to avoid, where to go, and how to work around your uc.
7:34 pm
that's how i thought it had to be. but then i talked to my doctor about humira, and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control... when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations and ask your gastroenterologist if humira may be right for you. with humira, control is possible.
7:36 pm
7:37 pm
estimates into a single data point. that way you can keep your eyes on the big picture. >>huh. feel better? >>much better. yeah, me too. wow, you really did a number on this thing. >>sorry about that. that's alright. i got a box of 'em. thousands of opinions. one estimate. the earnings tool from td ameritrade. >> trish: hillary clinton is taking her nonstop criticism of president trump overseas. as a former secretary of state delivering remarks in seoul, south korea. she took shots at the president's response to the north korean nuclear crisis. saying they were dangerous and short sighted. is she crossing the line, making comments like this overseas? joining us right now, senior vice president for the center for security policy, fred. when it comes to
7:38 pm
hillary clinton, sometimes it's open mouth, insert foot. talk about insensitivity and trying to stir up international controversy in a very politicized way. in your view, is this responsible rhetoric from the former secretary of state? >> trish, it's great to be here. i did an interview on sky news. he wanted to know what i thought of hillary clinton's criticism of president trump's iran policy. my response was who cares? she opposes everything the president does. she's criticizing the president in such a sensitive time. >> trish: she is in south korea talking about north korea. i would say running the risk of scaring the living daylights out of people they are, fred. >> that's right and let's consider all these things we've seen this year. the supposedly h-bomb test. 19 launches of muscles.
7:39 pm
these weapons were all prepared during the obama years under a policy that she approved called strategic patients. that was to do nothing about the north korean threat. that's her policy. >> trish: her policy, right. let's not forget her husband's policy, president clinton. it started back with jimmy carter. you can't put your head in the sand and pretend to be everybody's friend and just think they are going to look the other way. there is opportunity after opportunity throughout the years for us to nip this in the bond. a good and analogy might be bue are seeing, you hope and pray for the best but you are running a risk that you are going to enable them to become a very possibly violent power.
7:40 pm
>> that's exactly right. this nuclear deal with iran is very dangerous and has a very short duration. i've been very outspoken about bolton's view. we have to kill this deal unless it's substantially revived. the enrichment or production of plutonium. that's what the president is probably going to do. >> trish: do think hillary clinton really hates him that much? that she would go over to south korea and try to scare people into essentially say we're heading straight for world war iii? it seems to be an irresponsible thing to do at the former secretary of state. an irresponsible thing to do as the former democratic nominee. however, it also seems to be a very political thing to do, which might be. >> i don't think she's gotten over the election. as a statesman and someone who is a former secretary of state, this isn't a close call. this is not the way you are supposed to act. south koreans really are afraid,
7:41 pm
the japanese are a fridge that north korea will set up another nuclear device. that something could leak into the atmosphere. i miss could hit a nearby nation. >> trish: this with the left has been trying to do repeatedly. trying to scare everyone into thinking that he is a crazy man that's going to head us into a path from which there is no return. >> that's right. they are not focusing on the fact that they -- donald trump's approach is working. it's gone beyond these resolutions, cutting off banking ties with north korea. i don't know that that is going to work but nothing good has happened on hillary clinton's watch. >> trish: i think those sanctions will work, not just with north korea but i'm talking about going after some of the chinese banks that have propped up north korea because i will tell you, we are china's biggest economic partner.
7:42 pm
if we start saying we are going to shut down some of our economic relationships with china, they will understand how serious we are about north korea and they are the ones that have the intelligence and have the capability to actually do something meaningful and north korea. china perhaps ultimately holds the key. >> that's exactly right. if there's going to be a peaceful resolution, china has to do its part. both china and north korea realize that this president is unpredictable. he will take action. they knew the obama administration was not going to do anything. they voted for lots of security council sanctions but did not bother to enforce them. that's why trade between china and north korea soared during the obama administration. >> trish: amazing, amazing. great to see you, fred. a stunning new poll shows how many americans think the media is fabricating stories about president trump. quite a few of them think this. they could be right. don't go away.
7:43 pm

7:47 pm
46% said yes. nearly half the country saying yes. at 37% said the media does not fabricate stories about the president. 717% undecided. but 76%, among voters. joining us now with reaction, kayleigh mcenany. one is a tell you when nearly half the country and the majority of republicans believe that the media is making up stories about president trump? >> the american people are very discerning and they've caught on to the game. they cannot be fooled. they look at the long litany of false news stories. nbc, they've issued a correction because they made up a story about the rnc being in paul manafort's notes. "the new york times" -- james comey, their february "new york times" story, not
7:48 pm
true. anthony scaramucci -- president trump removed the mlk blast from his office, saying the epa administrator, these are five tips in the last few months. they are making up stories, the american people see right through it. >> trish: are they trying to take him down? is there such bias in the media right now that no matter what he does, he's if you does and if he doesn't, the soldier's wife -- he's gotten so badly criticized for that. even if all the rumor and innuendo, it's as though these reporters get some little nuggets that they hear from someone somewhere and they run with it in a way to hurt him and the administration but often very responsible way. they haven't double checked their sources. >> exactly right, trish. it appears that way when you
7:49 pm
suggest the takedown of president trump. don't take it from me. take it from harvard pool study that says 80% of the media coverage of president trump is in fact negative. it's getting negativity towards obama by a long shot and bush, the only organization found on parity with negative and positive coverage, fox news. doing its job. it's frustrating. here's one thing the media failed to take into account. this president is a fighter and he will fight back. he will not take this lying down and he's beating them at their own game. >> trish: [laughs] >> 46% of media think the media is making this thing up? the president is winning. >> trish: he's way ahead of the media in terms of how the american public feels about the media right now. >> you think he's beating them at their own game. no one's ever tried this game before. no one's ever been so combative, certainly not like we are seeing.

you have some people say it's not presidential or this or that. if you have everyone coming at you in the media, how do you respond? how do you go back if they are making the story? you fight back because historically, we've seen republican politicians take it lying down. they stay silent. they take the punches from the media and negativity. president trump is fighting back and what you are seeing, they the american people are recognizing it. when you have a poll where editing on 60% of viewers feel they are undecided on whether or not the media is making stories up or they find it to be true, that's one -- one people are siding with him on the nfl anthem, he's breaking through the filter. the first person who's done it in my generation and in the last few decades. >> trish: fascinating to watch, indeed. thank you, kayleigh. if great economic news happens under president trump, does anyone in the means to me to even notice? what happened after the dow had

>> trish: a major new milestone today with the dow leaping past 23000 for the first time, setting an all new record high. not bad, right? it's great news. the first time in history we have ever seen a level like this. you want to see how much coverage it got on all the nightly newscasts this evening? take a look. >> it was another record day on wall street. the dow closing up 160 points and closing over 23000 for the first time, finishing the day at 23,157. >> trish: that's it. [laughs] just nbc. cbs and abc didn't even bother. 23,000 -- it's a big deal. it doesn't leave any doubt in
7:56 pm
anyone's mind that the mainstream media wants to ignore good news under their trump administration. joining us with reaction from washington is bob cusick, editor and chief for the "hill" newspaper. i know i'm a business reporter, but 23,000 is a big, big deal, and the network evening newscasts completely ignore it? >> yeah. that's right. this is something on the president has talked about. he should talk about it. honestly, most voters care from harm are about the economy and tax reform in any rush investigation. this is something that i do think that some of the media have been antagonistic towards a trump and not give him credit no matter what. but it's something that he needs to keep talking about because as we get wind into an election year, this is importance. >> trish: it's not even that they don't give him credit. bob, it seems as though they are
7:57 pm
deliberately ignoring these important pieces of news. i mean, this is a major news headline. 23,000, historic high on the dow. normally, shall i say, is president obama was in office, they would have been all over it. that would have been the lead on the nightly newscasts. >> if you look at polls, trish, the optimism about the economy has definitely improved. i think that is partially because president trump talks of the economy, where sometimes president obama wouldn't talk up the economy. but we have seen indicators, unemployment is down. this is something that in the obama administration was high with 10%. certainly, he inherited a bad economy. this is something that i think republicans need to be talking more -- use the bully pulpit and not get distracted by other controversies. >> trish: i wonder, i think sometimes this must drive the media nuts, when there are these nuggets of good news out there, and they are just looking, as we talked about, for ways to take him down. what are you saying when they
7:58 pm
doubt was a 23,000 and unemployment is at a record low and gdp, economic growth in our nation, is at 3.1%? i mean, these are cold, hard facts pointing to very positive things. but they don't want to tell that story, bob, bob. >> that's right. the hill.com has talked about these economic issues and how they are a benefit to the presidents because it's fair. the economy is down, we write that, if it's up gumbo it something that helps the president. no matter who the president is. that is how bill clinton got elected. he focused on the economy. that is honestly where hillary clinton didn't talk as much about the middle class as some democrats would have wanted, and that is why she lost. >> trish: indeed. i used the expression she was the "let them eat cake" candidate. she never related to your average, hardworking american who is trying to make ends meet every week. in many ways, she deliberately ignored him. yet, this guy comes in, he's a
7:59 pm
billionaire, more money than anyone else overhead to run for office and he relates more to working-class americans that hillary clinton, mitt romney, many, many, many others. >> that is right, trish. mitt romney didn't want to talk about his wealth. president trump and candidate trump love to talk about his wealth because he's successful. he's hiring people who are successful develop the government. that was smart politics and that's why he won. >> trish: i don't think any americans resent that. americans want to see people prosper. it's an important message. you got to keep hitting it. we'll keep hitting it on fox business. bob, thank you so much. that is all we have time for this evening. tomorrow, we'll be talking about dow 23,000 and a whole host of other things on my show, "the
8:00 pm
intelligence report" at 2:00 p.m. eastern on the fox business network where i am every day. i will be right back here for fox news tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. eastern. i'll see you then. good night from new york. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." we have spent nearly a year looking for a russian scandal. for months it's been basically the only thing anyone in washington talked about. many people were certain it would end in impeachment and prison terms. >> i've come to conclude that trump has the kremlin clanp surrounding him, there's more to be learned about it. i believe there has been collusion. >> it's starting to smell more and more like collusion to, i think, the public. >> we saw cold, hard evidence of the trump campaign, the trump family eagerly intending to
