hanged shake or the hug basically passing down the torch to the next generation. ed: legacy continues. the economy is roaring. the president gets another solid jobs report yesterday, 213,000 new jobs created in the month of june. what's key there, two things. one, this is way higher than was expected by a lot of analysts to create over 200,000 jobs in the month of june. thought it might be slow heading into the summer. number two, the amount of people getting back into the job market. you'll remember in the eight years of barack obama we were talking about the labor participation rate at record lows because people were uncertain about the economy. now we have 155 million people, more than that as you can see, employed in america. that a record. pete: that is a record high. subgroupings 4.6 unemployment rate for hispanics. also an all-time record low. people wonder why his approval rating has gone up amongst hispanics while

everything at the border was going on, turns out they are not just single issue voters. the economy is roaring. hourly wages also increased again not as fast maybe as some would like, but they increased 2.7%. ed: some like nancy pelosi? pete: somehow the left has found a way to take these job numbers and make them look bad. abby: she didn't call them crumbs but she wasn't happy about the economic numbers. nancy pelosi says the june jobs report what is at stake from the brewing storm of rising health costs, spiraling trade uncertainty and an economy being hollowed out to enrich corporations and the wealthiest 1%. the americans deserve better than the g.o.p.'s raw deal. >> you cranky nancy can't be happy. abby: 2009ish the unemployment was 10%. do you remember living in those times? ed: losing several hundred

thousand jobs a month end of bush administration. we can argue how it turned around and he did create a lot of jobs barack obama while he was in office. now this president continues that actually, it's expanded. pete: accelerating. ed: economic growth when you talk about growth domestic product estimates now in the middle of this year into the fall it might be 4.5% which nobody was predicting just a few months ago. the dnc puts out this statement though. they call it slow growth. rising healthcare premiums. and skyrocketing gas prices across the country. donald trump's reckless policies are hurting millions of hard working families. they are right that gas prices are something the president is going to have to pay attention. to say when you talk about rising healthcare costs did. that start in this administration? what triggered that? what could that have been? abby: reckless economic

policies. ed: when the economy is roaring like this to call it reckless is you don't want the economy to do that well? do you think it's going too well right now? pete: resistance must continue no matter what. rush limbaugh put it as succinctly. >> always stand proudly with the brave heroes of ice -- >> how in the world do you turn a booming economy with 3.7 million new jobs since the election into a raw deal in the people getting jobs are people that didn't have jobs during the obama administration. folks, look, i know the left like nobody does, and this is deranged. what's their solution, government needs to get bigger? this is bad, too many jobs create you had in government had nothing to do with? do you realize folks want a dramatic shift? as recently as the obama administration they were talking about the economy and trying to say it was great in order to boost obama. ed: jobs create you had that the government had nothing to do with is different the

obama administration recovery and this administration. reduce regulations business want to get into the game. ed: as opposed to stimulus spending. abby: is it reckless policies? do you think things are going better today? , so, before that rush limbaugh clip you saw mike pence talking about ice. that was another big piece of news yesterday. he doubled down hard on the attacks on ice and liberals talking about abolishing ice all together. he said we are with you 100 percent. here is the vice president. >> we will always stand proudly with the brave heroes of ice and our border patrol. [applause] under president donald trump, we will never abolish ice. just when you thought the democrats couldn't move farther to the left, leading members of the democratic party are actually openly advocating the abolition of

ice. leading candidate for the governor of new york actually even appallingly called this agency a terrorist organization. these spurious attacks on ice by our political leaders must stop. [applause] abby: yeah. you heard him there. he was talking about attacks on ice and how some people have referred to it as a terrorist organization. cynthia nixon from sex in the city but now is running for governor here in new york. she has said that before, but she said it again. she doubled down, responding to the vice president. she says i can think of no better description than to call ice a terrorist organization and i will wear any criticism from mike pence as a badge of honor. ed: is it really a badge of honor? so vice president pence tweeted back at her. you don't hear that every day him tweeting back to a sex in the city star. abby: no. ed: ice made gang arrests.

last week they busted a child sex trafficking ring. abby: how do you respond to that. ed: tastes or folks trying to keep us safe? what do you think? pete: cynthia nixon wants to be the governor of the state where 9/11 actually happened hands of real terrorists and demonize those rounding up sex terrorists. this administration even knows mike pence putting the pedal to the metal. abby: very serious note but sad one. thai navy new rescue plan for that soccer team trapped inside of a flooded team now for 15 days. being called a buddy dive where an experienced diver would swim with each of the 12 boys out of the cave. the exit strategy could launch this weekend u as crews race against severe weather and low oxygen levels. the coach writing an apology letter to the parents but reassuring that the boys are okay. one boy sending this note:

greece and the u.k. these are 24 nations who said we are going to do this. this is a commitment. >> right. as you said they recommitted in 2014. the goal was to hit these spending increases by 2024. something that's important and nerdy point i guess is 2% is for spending on their own defense. this isn't talking about the money that goes into the nato budget at large. it's not dues money. this is money to spend on your own defense. the purpose of this is because secretary robert gates the first bush defense secretary and then obama defense secretary said he warned in 2011 that if countries did not start doing this that nato faced a dismal future. quite critical countries needing to spend for their own defense. the importance of this is not that we're asking for more nato dues but people set up their own home defense. ed: 17 nations have increased g.d.p. spending since the president has taken office. bulgaria, canada, croatia, the chuck republic. all of those countries. there is the president's

push something committed before he actually came to office. is some of his rhetoric leading to action? >> all of these commitments were made in 2014 to reach by 2024. get people to go on the record. did i speak to several people involved in nato and said what's your perspective? are these increases that we saw around, you know, .24%? is this related to the president's first year and a half in office? those people said yes, that they did feel like the president's pressure was working because people are worried about the united states potentially leaving nato or a change. i think the whole discussion about the 2% is sort of missing the forest for the trees. the discussion incredible opportunity. this meeting the nato is having next week i think is one of the most important if not the most important since nato's founding. we are entering a brand new world. we are entering an ear wrath great power competition between the united states and china. russia is somewhat on the

fringes. ed: after the nato summit the president is going to u.k. and going to finland to have that summit with vladimir putin. so russia there not obviously a member of nato. talk about. i have got 30 seconds. why it's so important to set table before sitting down with putin with these nato allies and laying it out? >> nato needs to decide what it's going to be in the new world we are entering. what is nato going -- we have been prepared for dealing with the soviet union, clearly. we dealt with that as a block. we have been dealing with terrorism in the middle east. now we are entering cyber warfare. great warfare power competition. so that's what really is the determining factor that needs to happen. are we going to stay alive together and how are we fighting the new threat together? it's a new age. ed: big threat this week and beyond. morgan or telling gas "fox & friends" attache. we have to label you that. >> i like that. that's good. ed: new report claims the army is discharging immigrant recruits. but we'll have the real story behind the headline. was that actually true?

the rest of america might actually agree with trump. >> i don't think it's inherent. it's been so permissible. they see so many idols and celebrities come out and attack trump every since gel day and it's allowed that sort of behavior wasn't allow when obama was office n. office. you didn't see celebrities coming out and saying things about ivank disgusting terms. it has trickled down and seeing people act in a way that never acting right now. ed: interesting. candace, meanwhile, we have a big announcement on monday night from the president going to name next pick from the supreme court. cam lal harri kamala harris saye president is shredding the constitution. before he or she is even named. dianne feinstein seemed to go even further. watch this. >> american people must know what's at stake in this

nomination. because overturning roe would take us back to the days of women being severely injured and dying because they can't get basic medical care. we come too far to go back to those days. ed: you listen to that democrats finally realizing elections have consequences? >> yeah. exactly. i don't know but guys. i have grown really immune to this rhetoric every single day they wake up and they decide what their outraged about. they tell us it's going to be armageddon every single day. if trump wins the world is going to be over. if trump drinks a diet coke the world is going to be over. the stormy daniels the world is going to be over. search growing apathetic to this. it doesn't ring true. it doesn't feel real. they're ache acting and fear among goring. pete: lee the paris climate accord the world is going toned. really, when it doesn't come true you are right, does the

average voter start to see through that. >> i definitely think they are starting to see through that i see it happening in my mention and online. people coming out and speaking out and say they are leaving the left and growing tired of this rhetoric and this constant fear among are going to. as i said, in the end, this is ultimately going to help trump. i think if he ran today he would win by much larger margins than did he in 2016. abby: we will see. 2020 will be around the corner. >> thank you for having me. pete: well, the resistance started almost immediately, anarchists rising up against this president on inauguration day, you will remember. remember that -- i can't even read the prompter. so what will happen to those who cause the chaos. i finally nailed it we just found out. ed: see, there is chaos already. it's starting right here. pete: ed is just laughing at me. ed: i made a very special promise this week. i have a present for you. i'm going to bring it for you on saturday. it's no joke u and it has to

what is it? a.p. headline. u.s. army quietly discharging immigrant recruits. you look at that headline what does that conjure up. ed: zero tolerance policy expanding beyond mom and dad and kids. pete: military has been a place where legal immigrants can go in and serve their country and come out with a pathway to citizenship. awesome merit based system. ed: who serve this country. abby: this comes from the a.p. normally from the past i would see an a.p. article or title and think that's a place to get facts and real news stories. the department of the army have come out with this statement saying any recruit who receives unfavorable security screening is deemed unsuitable for military service and is administratively discharged. each recruit undergoes an said have youized suitability review and the length of time for the review is dependent upon each individual's unique

background. it's more complicated when you are dealing with people who aren't legal. ed: a policy that as i understand it started under president george w. bush in terms of like if you have an issue in your background, being an illegal immigrant would be an issue. pete: of course. ed: about one would serve in the military or not. they will review it something happening before the trump administration. pete: complicated a little from the trump administration they flirted with daca recipients being a part of this which complicketsd it. these are not folks that have served for years and years. they want to go to basic training and boot camp. they are not there yet. their review comes back and you know, there is too much in the back ground. we are not talking about hispanics there are some hispanics that could be. they were talking about folks from pakistan. folks from iran. from other countries. you want to get those clearances right. so that they can serve their country in the right way. ed: weighed in on this. watch. if he is attempting to create the perception there is a widespread trump

administration policy to get rid of immigrants in the united states military which by any stretch of the imagination would be a ridiculous policy if it existed. but it doesn't exist because that's not what's happening here. there are 70,000 members of the united states military who are immigrants. the a.p. has tracked down 40. might wonder why they are not going after all 70,000 if it's about zone phobia. it's not about screen phobia. the media creates headlines and everyone jumps to false conclusions from the headline and turns out simply not true. abby: really, really dangerous place to be when we jump so quickly on reports that oftentimes turn out to not be true or to be fabricated in some way. this is a reality that we are all living. in i think i talked to some so many move friends frustrated we have no idea what's going on in the world today you go and try to find a report let's say what's going on in north korea the mike pompeo visit. you go and try to find out facts what actually happened in that meeting. so difficult to find a place that gives you the fact without some sort of opinion or spin. i think i speak for a lot of people who are frustrated by

that. ed: media does it to itself. when the president talks about fake news. talk about the people want to make the president look bad. a.p. does good work. when you run head lines for that irresponsible sourcing it makes people say what can i believe? abby: make sure you paint the real picture. ed: sounds like a platform. abby: he now has the hat. boosting his ego, ed. pete: president trump showed if you have a hat you are pretty much ready to go. abby: i do want to bring you other headlines we are following. starting right here. dozens of protesters arrested at president trump's inauguration are now off the hook and some of them could get paid. ed: what? federal prosecutors dropping the 38 remaining convictions after failing to get convictions. some of the activists are suing claiming police brutality and false arrest

pedigree. she clerked for judge sill memberman on the d.c. circuit and then for justice scalia and professor at notre dame law school and now a sitting judge on the u.s. court of appeals for the seventh circuit. she has a fantastic reputation. wonderful person. and really terrific judge. so, i think she would be -- any of them, frankly, would be fantastic. this is a great list. and you know, i think the country can't go wrong with any of these choices. abby: always fun as a woman to see another woman on there do you think she can help the process being a female or could that make things more contentious. >> i don't know that anything could help the process at this point, abby. the truth is it's really broken down. i think the president has actually brought a level of transparency to the process that is refreshing, but we will see. i already see people opposing his nominee before they even know who he or she is. we will see. abby: that's true. brett kavanaugh, a lot of folks say he will likely be the pick. from what i have heard incredibly hard worker,

incredibly strong background. what can you tell us about brett kavanaugh. >> bret has been a judge for the u.s. court of appeals for the d.c. circuit here in washington for 12 years. he has a fantastic reputation. he is super smart. he was actually one of my law partners back in the 1990s. i know bret, he is a very hard worker. just really a terrific person and a great judge who has had to write on a lot of very contentious issues already. so he has a paper trail but he is one person who has confronted a lot of very hard issues of the kind that you would confront on the supreme court. abby: what would critics say about him. >> critics are going to say he is too conservative. you know, i'm sure that they will come up with some drama story about how he is crazy right wing person which is not at all true. he is absolutely maybe stream jurist. he is conservative as the president said.

abby: raymond kethledge. fisherman, written a book on leadership. what i read he is a very likeable person. what do you make of him? >> i agree with everything you said. again, terrific background. clerked at the court. he has been a judge on the court of appeals on the sixth circuit now for about a decade. i have argued cases before him. is he a very thorough, fair judge. and really superior intellect and, again, very likeable person. so, i think very highly of him as well. abby: also a busboy and waiter to pay for his way through college. i love those stories to see where they end up in life. chris, thank you for being with us. we all will know on monday evening. get the popcorn out. >> thanks for having me. abby: pastor gives a motivational speech to high school football flares about team work. now it is being called a violation of the constitution. that pastor reacts live straight ahead.

pete: weak back. awelcome back.an arkansas pastoe inspiring speech football camp. freedom from religion foundation complained to the school saying the pastor

violated the constitution. here with his side of the story is that pastor, conner mckay and his first liberty attorney michael berry. thank you both for being here this morning. conor, let me point out. you went to this high school. you played football at this high school. you are now a pastor at this community. the coach invited you to come to the summer camp to talk about leadership. to talk about team work. you invoked scripture somehow that's unconstitutional. talk to us about your talk. >> right. well, as you said, and thank you for having me. it's an honor to be here. pete: of course. >> i went to school at waldron. i played football at waldron. i have been under the leadership of this same coach. i know what it's like to be where these players are at. i know what what it's like to be a high school football player. i felt it was important to note value and the importance of team work. and so i came that morning and i shared with them the importance of team work and shared with the kids as iron sharpens iron so one man

sharpens another. that's what i felt on my heart to share with them is the importance and value of how to work together as a team with your coaches and in life situations. pete: what happened was a local paper covered your address to the players and as a result the freedom from religion organization went after you. here's what think ha they had ty about this talk from the summer football camp. freedom from player foundation. players were subjected to christian prostheticallyization by konnor mckay. in a camp rife with evangelicalism. it is fundamental principle of establishment clause that public schools -- you defend folks like under this siege. what do you make of the freedom from religion foundation? >> well, this is a, yet another example of this group from wisconsin that gross out of state seeking school districts across the country that they can bully and intimidate. and, you know, waldron, arkansas is another example.

what's clearly going on here is, you know, as konnor said he was invited because he was a former player at this school. he played under this coach. they wanted him to give a motivational talk. the fact that, you know, that he is a pastor and he comes from that background, that perspective is perfectly fine under the constitution. but, these folks from wisconsin, you know, this is what they do. they go around the country and they try to intimidate and harass people. pete: not to mention their very name itself it's freedom of religion not freedom from religion. we have to leave it there thank you pastor, and mike berry.ok keepe having those talks. oh don't... it's early 90s sitcom star dave coulier... cut...it...out!

headline or attacking them. if you want someone who is a strong conservative who is a constitutionalist. someone well-respected in the legal field. i read through all of their resumes the other day, i walked away just saying how do you criticize these people? you may not agree with where they stand maybe on something like abortion. but, boy, they are. ed: democrats will find a way. that's where is the president is banking on, you are right. that credentials like we saw with neil gorsuch okay people knew he had clerked for scalia. this is someone who was a conservative. he was going to have a strict view of the constitution but they knew that gorsuch was qualified. you could not say that the man was not going to serve and serve admirablably. pete: at this point the president has stuck to list of 25. ed: transparent by the way. he told the american people. pete: these are the type of people i'm going to choose. the difference now is in shades. do you get an antonin scalia. do you get the hard core original list or do you get a john robert or even a kennedy who was nominated by reagan and everyone thought would be a conservative and

then moved a blited more liberal. so that i think, is what observers are watching. ed: regardless, these are people more in the mainstream. okay? and yet, if you listen to many democrats right now, it's as if no matter hot president picks, and they don't know yet who it's going to be. pete: such a great point. ed: armageddon is coming. >> american people must know what's at stake in this nomination. overturning roe would take us back to the days of women being severely injured and dying because they can't get basic medical care. >> the future of america is at stake. >> this is a battle line that has been drawn that literally will put women's lives at risk. >> prosecutors already putting women in jail for still births, for miss carriages and for botched abortions. >> roe v. wade is doomed. it is gone because donald trump won the election.

abby: all you can say to that is yeah, elections have consequences. this time in history, what an important one to vote for the person that you wanted to be president because this is going to be the next supreme court pick and deciding one. often the deciding vote you never knew which direction he would go. socially he could being more on the liberal side. a conservative on a number of issues. this next pick will completely shift, i think, the supreme court as we know it. pete: the "new york times," which the president calls the failing "new york times," the voice of the left, you might say, they had to say about what's coming up. they said the president will lock in a 5 to 4 conservative majority. shifting the court solidly to the right for a generation. this is all the more reason for democrats and progressives to take a page from the godfather. ed: the godfather a movie about the mob. pete: and go to the mattress on this issue. because this battle is more than a single seat on the nation's highest court. this is the moment for democrats to drive home to voters the crucial role that

the judiciary plays in shaping this nation. and why the courts should be a key voting concern in every single election. ed: first of all, they should have thought about that before the last presidential election, you would think. because president trump, then candidate trump, made it clear who he was going to i can '. said he was transparent. these are the 25 people i would pick. pete: at love people supported him because of that. ed: hillary clinton didn't make that case as effectively. so now as you said elections have consequences. but what's interesting is because i don't want to minimize, this is a big deal. this is going to shift the court to the right for a long time. so i understand why there are some on the left who are concerned about it because they disagree with the president's policies. but, one of the problems is they have been screaming bloody murder over almost every issue since day one of this administration. abby: it's the end of the world. ed: pulled out of the paris climate accord. we are awful going to die. he passed a tax cut. it's not just crumbs but. abby: we're going to war with north korea. pete: withdrew from the tpp look out everything is

ending. ed: tax cut passed nancy pelosi said this is armageddon, people are going to die. they said that about repealing and replace beings potentially obamacare which didn't fully happen. they took out the individual mandate. people are going to die. pete: that's a heck of a list. abby: oftentimes they have members of the media on their side. that helps scream that argument even louder. pete: oftentimes -- all the time. depending on where you go. depending on which outlets you read and watch and all that buff they do have that benefit of having sort of the shouting board, right? pete: exactly. so when they up the investor investor then the media ups the investor investor with them. it feels like out temperature can't get even hotter. you both made the pointe really well. this for the left is really armageddon for them. the supreme court. ed: they have been shouting armageddon about everything. so now it really does matter because the court is shifting but are people going to say -- we have heard this about literally every issue that the president has come up with. abby: will people listen? i think the way to judge to

see what happens on election day. do they go to the polls and who do they vote for in the next big question is how long is this process going to take? once he makes this big announcement on monday night. i interviewed justice scalia's son christopher last sunday and he reminded that's his dad got the vote 98-0 just let that sink in for a minute how far we have come from those days. pete: so true used to be about qualifications, ed. you made the point. awful mainstream. all highly qualified which in the past before judge bourque was worked, seriously, that would have enough to be qualified to be on the court everyone recognized a conservative president is going to make conservative justice. ed: barack obama got elena kagan in the middle of 20910 mid terms. even though liberal august of 2010. remember that august of 2010 she was confirmed. meanwhile, we talked week after week about civility and incivility and now we see more and more cases of people on the right being assaulted. a man now claiming he was assaulted because he had a trump flag out in his yard

in florida. a long island man now was arrested in the last day or so for making threats to kill a campaign worker, a volunteer, i believe, for congressman lee zeldin who tweeted this. in the u.s. political scores are settled at the ballot box, the congressman says. not by trying to kill your political opponents. donato panico is a great american and supporter of @ real donald trump. and one of my volunteers. he shouldn't have been targeted like this today for his passion and involvement. pete: someone drives up, there is an exchange, he gets punched. then he gets dragged for 30 feet as the guy drives away. and then outside of a campaign office, we're not just screaming or protesting, we're literally assaulting and threatening the lives of people who work on campaigns. abby: here is the problem i see this is becoming the new

norm. we are seeing this every single week, more and more of these stories happening. we are not even nut thick of the mid terms yet. what's going to happen during those days and then the 2020 election where have you some other people actually wearing the maga hats because it's election time and you want to be proud of the person you are supporting. i do worry about where we are as a country and making this the normal and thinking this is okay. you can go in a restaurant and treat someone sitting there ask them to leave a restaurant because you don't agree with who they work for or whatever it is. what is it going to take a step back. pete: left got to condemn what maxine waters is saying. what she says now is trickling into the po populace of that side. got to be chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. we did it last hour. the job numbers, even nancy pelosi says we have great job numbers. she says they're reckless jobs. when your leader won't each acknowledge good economic data and everything is evil about the president, no surprise that the rank and file. abby: why does she do that?

that doesn't benefit the party. they don't want to acknowledge the party is doing well. the economy is the number one reason they go to the polls and vote. bill. ed: bill maher wants recession because he thinks it will get donald trump out of office. he doesn't care if the economy is bad for you. abby: i was thinking about that the other day if there was a recession bill maher would be in beverly hills eating his steak tartar, his life wouldn't change. so for him it doesn't matter. pete: still wear your maga hat and fly your maga flag? let us know at friends@foxnews.com. abby: story we are all watching closely. the thai navy proposing a new rescue plan for that soccer team trapped inside a flooded cave now for 15 days. it is being called a buddy dive where an experienced diver would swim with each of the 12 boys out of the cave. the exit strategy could launch this weekend as crews race against severe weather and low oxygen levels. the coach writing an apology letter to the parents but reassuring the boys are

right now, these productive negotiations secretary pompeo described. he didn't go into details about whether there is a time line for denuclearization or a inventory of north korea sites. we are tracking on some of those apparently secret north korean nuclear sites that are producing enriched uranium, nuclear capable submarine as well. ed: real quick, daniel, let me ask you on that point a source close to pompeo after the niceties of singapore this trip was more about reading the riot act. saying you better follow through. do you agree with that strategy? >> , i do. i think we also heard it from our national security advisor ambassador john bolton said the north koreans had a year to get this done. that's a pretty clear statement of our policy. i would just also highlight at the heart of this and viewers may have noticed the presence of andrew kim who is the cia korean mission manager. he was sitting at the take with secretary pompeo. this is an intelligence challenge for which secretary pompeo, based on his experience as director of ca is very well suited to

since 2016. here to discuss our own panel of millennials eric. christina from the fox business network and founder of the flip side dot io. did i say that right? >> yes, did you. abby: thank you guys for being here. >> great to be on. abby: eric, start with you. have you an interesting background. you were a liberal turned conservative back in 2013, briefly what caused that change. >> it really is similar to what we are seeing root know. far left have been gaining a voice in the democratic party. the democratic party of fdr of truman of lbj, the one that's been really been a moderate voice throughout the decades and centuries in the u.s. really isn't the case anymore. we have seen millions of democrats like myself, i switched parties to the g.o.p. i'm looking for a pragmatic governance including our own president, president trump who also made the party switch. i mean, i think unless the democrats return to a more centrist, bill clintonesque

policy we will continue to seat similar trend as as well with this. abby: in order to win elections have you got to speak to the voters. it's interesting you look at 2016 and how president trump was able to win over a number of the rust belt states u states that republicans haven't won recently before that so is he on to something here? speaking to a big part of this country that maybe feel like they are forgotten in some way? >> definitely that is happening. you are seeing a lot of people that feel like they are forgotten. that is more of a giant movement of moving away from the center. we have seen center left, center right. people are unhappy that they overlooked economic turmoil. they have overlooked political instability. people are now saying hey, we are fed up with that we are still talking about the recession 10 years later that we still haven't overcome it that's the reason why you are seeing polarization both parties. that's really the basis, we can talk about how some have become more extreme than others. people are fed up with these center right, center left policies. >> the democratic party in a tough position though when

you look at the protests that are going on. you hear folks that are screaming the loudest within the party and they talk about things like abolishing ice. you had cynthia nixon calling ice a terrorist organization. they talk about open borders. and i believe not every democrat is where some of these folks are. but are they giving the party a bad name and could that hurt them in the next election cycle? >> it's honestly hard to say. so let me start by saying i think all ideas deserve to be heard. at the same time i don't think democrat party should become the socialist party. and, yet, not all republicans became tea partiers in 2009. so what you saw in 2000 was the birth of the tea party and the freedom caucus in response to president obama. and you are seeing something similar happening here. actually, i think progressives are tapping into that same sentiment of distrust of the establishment of getting rid of the d.c. swamp. so you see cortez tapping into that where she is pointing to fundraiser over $2,000 a pop. she is pointing to him, you know, not even living in

queens or the bronx anymore. and so it's hard to say what's going to happen in november. i think these hard ball tactics are playing well with the base. and i think democrats are betting that moderate voters are so turned off by president trump that they will turn out in november no matter what. abby: christina, where do moderate voters go? because you talk about the economy all the time and i usually say that is what draws people to the polls is how they are feeling about their life. the money they can put in their pocketbook. things are going well right now. does that help the republican party? i mean, president trump, he touts, you know, a new tax plan coming forward is that all good for moderates. >> i would say it's the other way, that you are seeing a cultural shift. people are worried or scared about their status in society. and they don't want it to be shifted. which is why they are going to the polls. when you bring up cortez, i don't think necessarily that's an example of the entire democratic party. because, yes, it ticks off all of the socialist boxes abolishing ice, medicare for

all. abby: kirsten gillibrand singing the same tune after the election. >> >> big one. we're discussing it today i don't think a socialist flag in the bronx will mean a socialist flag in houston. democratic party right now needs to figure out who are they going after? are they going after the swing vote, republicans that knowledge no longer like president trump on a personal basis or going after the millennials who are going to be huge voters come 2020. the white woman or the nonwhite. so i feel like there is just a mixed message within the party right now. i don't necessarily think it's too far left or the other party is too far right. abby: eric, what do you think so of that? last word here. why have we seen a drop in points with millennials when it comes to the democratic party? >> what i saw in the democratic party, i feel like there is definitely an age divide in the democrats. certainly a lot of old style democrat not commit to the new generation as much. and going the way, however, of embracing socialist policies, i don't think

that's the right way to do it. i think millennials right now, many of them do have left wing sentiment as they grow older. i think they will go more to the middle or conservative side. that's like the natural way of life that's how it should go. abby: whichever party can find that middle ground, right, and reap the souls of so many in this country that are waiting for someone to speak tomorrow this. >> let's note forget bernie sanders and donald trump have a lot of similar thoughts when it comes to immigration. >> there is some similarities in terms of nationalism and -- it's been compared, not everything. but then that -- we can redefine what does the left and right really mean whether you have two major leaders from opposing sides that agree on a few issues? abby: that is a whole other segment. we will have you guys back for. thank you guys for being here. it's a great conversation. hope leaders in the party were listening. democrats are always talking russia, russia, russia. but nobody on jeopardy can actually tell you about it. >> this exnational security

our economic policy can be summed up in three very simple, but beautiful, words. jobs, jobs, jobs. [cheers and applause] ed: guess what, more than 200,000 more more jobs, jobs, jobs, in the report released yesterday. abby: that's right. let's bring in charles payne host of making money on fox business network. charles, always good to have you with us. >> charles: good morning. abby: no humidity. feels beautiful u take it while we can what did you think of the numbers yesterday. a number of articles some called it reckless. they had complaints about it? >> with the jobs numbers? >> oh, no. they were phenomenal. certainly better than wall street anticipated. look at the stock market's reaction. and here's the thing, guys. some people pointed to the unemployment rate. you know, i really don't know how this became sort of the gauge, because so misleading. the unemployment rate went up because 600,000 people came back into the job market. that is not a bad thing.

that is absolutely phenomenal. pete: some of them didn't find jobs right away because the number went up. >> sure. pete: confident enough in the economy. >> i don't care what kind of survey you use ultimate gauge how people feel i'm confident now after a couple years sitting on the couch to go look for a be jo. they must believe that something is out there and they are absolutely right. here's the good news, also, if you break it down. women, guys. last month, 600,000 women came back into the jobs market. 342,000 more women had jobs last month than the month before. and it was the ultimate month for hispanic americans. 164,000 came back to the labor force. 250,000 more hispanics had jobs last month than the month before. consequently that unemployment rate is real. and it is the lowest in history. abby: it could be why in a recent poll that the president has gone up 10% with the hispanic community. >> exactly. when you start scratching your head like how can that be? that's this is the reason the poll was the way it was. ed: the democrats will

criticize anything on the economy as pete just pointed out. nancy pelosi yesterday suggested this is a bad jobs report even though you lay all of that out. where she may have a point though is. she talked about trade policies and how that may slow the engines of it. >> well, you say it may slow the engines a bit. i don't think that's going to be the case. we had manufacturing data out in the last week. phenomenal stuff. by the way, this week we also had a report on truck orders. you know, the big rigs that carry all of our commerce? 42,000 rigs were ordered last month. you don't order $200,000 rig, ed, if you think the economy is going to slow down. one of the reasons for those orders, we have record amount of loads per truck. all-time record. we have so much commerce ready to be moved in this country. these are long-term investments. of course can you always say could, may, might. what when we start talking about inn. actuality what's happening in country and trends it's ten nominal. ed: china is putting out

spin big time against the president and they may be wrong. >> of course they may be wrong. here's the point you say to yourself one of the advantages that president xi of china has over president trump is the media, right? no one over there is going to criticize them. over here a lot of the media is call this a wrong, dead on arrival. earlier this week it was leaked that propaganda, how china's media has to go about this or should. they say don't relay comments from trump, u.s. government spokes people or other officials. they want security regulators to organize chorus of stabilizing market expectations. also make sure that we show that china has great stamina we will be ready and let isn't a. >> they want to manage this. play down between the stock market and the economy trade conflict. also they said do not talk about made in china 2025 anymore. very critical. that's at the whole heart. pete: china is not as strong as a position they may think. this stare down is important. especially at the beginning. >> of course it's important

at the beginning and also important. they point that out to be let isn't a and resolved. who can last the longest? a lot of that has to do with the media. give you a a couple headlines. the china daily, the headline, trump navarro lighthizer triangle. calling him the iron triangle. only three americans belief the tariff war will win and it's those three. pretty good headline. abby: the president may like the headline not the actual article. ed: strong on the tariffs as well. charles payne, thanks for coming on. appreciate it. abby: thank you, charles. ed: coming up, incident is i can'cynthia nixonabolish ice ca. see how she is doubling down on that call. ed: russia, russia, russia. no one on jeopardy can tell you about it we will show you the funny exchange in a minute. >> this exnational security

democrat and author of the new book the case against impeaching. ed: comes out this week, >> comes out this week. there it is. abby: you have been questioning how long this will go on. what do you make of jeopardy and how much coverage it has received and how little the american people know about it? >> first of all it, shows that people like morning joe. you know, morning joe claimed i was helping vladimir putin. that by defending the civil liberties, americans, including our president, i was helping vladimir putin. when you get somebody like that misinforming the american public, and i have challenged him to get me on his show so i can debate him he doesn't have the guts to be on. just one minute, that's all. second, it shows what mueller's tactic is. go for the lowest hanging fruit. go for people who had peripheral involvement, and, of course, people are not going to know their names. they are nobodies. the goal is as judge ellis said. pete: national security

advisor his name has been in headlines and articles all over the place people still don't know. >> as judge ellis said, is he a very distinguished federal judge you don't need a special prosecutor. what special prosecutors do they not only squeeze these witnesses to make them sing but sometimes they even compose. they write their own music. because they know the better the story the better the deal they are getting. that's why i have long been opposed to special counsel whether against bill clinton. hillary clinton. or donald trump. ed: we have heard all about the text messages between peter strzok, the fbi agent at the center of these investigations, lisa page, his colleague and lover, and there was an email that came out this week. this was a big development. i want to call up that email so we can see it at a minimum, he wrote. that keeps the herry the f up pressure on him. meaning investigation of 2016. an investigation of then candidate donald trump. it keeps the pressure on him

this is the same guy we need to stop donald trump. >> and we need an insurance policy. ed: and pretext. >> that's the problem. when you start politicizing law enforcement or whether it be lock her up, lock him up. when you get law enforcement into the business of trying to determine the outcome of an election, you really have a problem. look, i think american intrusion into this election through comey, through strzok, through others is as important an issue as russian intrusion is tout election. we know russia is our enemy. we don't expect the fbi agents to be putting their thumb on the scale and saying we have toe stop them. we need insurance policies. i can't wait to see his face when he has to testify, strzok, in front of the american people. when he tries to look us in the eye and say: i didn't mean it, this was just pillow talk. as a lawyer you judge people's credibility all the time. which is why this guy has to testify in front of the american people. abby: he doesn't want to. what will happen in the testimony and what question do you think is he most

afraid to answer? >> well, i think the question why did you write that? didn't you know that somehow it would get released? you are an fbi agent. you know there are no secret communications. what were you trying to accomplish? how were you going to stop it? what was your insurance policy? let's see him lie through his teeth. let's see if his lawyers let him answer those questions because, you know, he didn't commit a crime by trying to stop the election of president trump. but if he lies about why he stopped the election, that's a crime. ed: what do you make of this "new york times" piece overnight saying that there are new conditions from rudy giuliani for actual sitdown between mueller and the president? >> look, the president and no person who is a subject should ever sit down with a prosecutor unless it's their only alternative to a subpoena. and i think both sides are playing hard ball. this may well end up with a subpoena and a legal challenge in court, which the president will win part of and probably lose part of. stay tuned. this is a seminar in

our country, 4.6%. the previous low, 4.8 in 2006. so we're breaking records that we haven't seen in over a decade, earnings are up by 2.7%. this is great news. this is what the president ran on. said he would bring jobs, jobs, jobs. ed: more jobs and mope in people's pockets. surely the dnc put out a statement saying hallelujah, that's a wonderful thing, flight. pete: maybe. abby: not a chance. dnc said in response slow wage growth skyrocketing gas prices across the country, donald trump's reckless policies are hurting millions of hard working families. i mean, what else are they going to say? if you are the dnc you are not happy because have you elections coming up. pete: not happy when people get jobs. abby: doesn't help you. they are not in, that. you have a republican president and republican in charge of the house and the senate. if you are a democrat, it's really tough to have a counter talking point when the numbers are good. pete: where with they pulling this word reckless

from? ed: trying to say his policies in terms of tax cut is reckless because it's going to the rich and not helping real people there no doubt that the corporate tax cut helped wealthy companies, helped wealthy people. the fact of the matter is when you rattle off those statistics about hispanic unemployment. african-american unemployment being at record lows. it's helping real people of all races, number one. and number two, another thing we haven't mentioned yet is -- well over something like 600,000 more people getting into the workforce. getting off the couch and saying i'm optimistic about the economy. i want to look for a job. abby: that is why when you look at the unemployment last month 3.8% ticked up to 4% in june. ed: not all those people found jobs. they are looking. they feel confident and optimistic. abby: charles payne had that point a few moments ago. here is what he said. >> some people point to the unemployment rate. i don't know how this became sort of the gauge.

because it's so misleading. the unemployment rate went up because 600,000 people came back into the job market. that is not a bad thing. that is absolutely -- i don't care what kind of survey you use. of the ultimate gauge of how people feel is okay i'm confident enough now after a couple years sitting on the couch to go look for a job. they must believe that something is out there and they are absolutely right. ed: barack obama had some good jobs numbers and republican woos find ways to say well, it's not good enough. it's not this. it's not that i think the broader point here is, yeah. there is going to be each party throwing shots. people like bill maher on the left in recent weeks saying he is rooting for a recession because if the economy is bad, donald trump will not be reelected. that means you have people on the left rooting against economic success. it's not going to effect him and beferlsz as you said earlier. abby: can you make that statement all you want your life is not going to be impacted by a recession. millions of part-time impacted by it many lose their jobs and can't afford

to put food on the table for their family. that's not funny to joke about. that's not something we want to imagine happening. pete: these numbers represent a lot of the men and women this president said he would advocate for. i'm going to gout and find that job. i might not find it right away. they become part of that 4% unemployment rate. hopefully they do eventually find one and that's been the focus of this administration. this devil rays has been taken on the cultural issues and taken them on in big ways but secretly behind the scenes it's what they're doing on the economy is the base of the support. ted head he had that may be the big midterm as well as immigration. abby: talk about ice and the role they play in this countriened should we make add adjustments here and there some say let's abolish it all together. cynthia nixon calling them a terrorist organization. the vice president, mike pence, he doubled down yesterday talking about ice and what they mean to this country. what they do to protect all of us americans. here's what he said.

>> will always stand proudly with the brave heroes of ice and our border patrol. [ applause ] under president donald trump, we will never abolish ice. just when you thought the democrats couldn't move farther to the left, leading members of the democratic party are actually openly advocating at abolition of ice. a leading candidate for governor of new york actually even appallingly called this agency a terrorist organization. these spurious attacks on ice by our political leaders must stop. [applause] pete: that reference to the leading gubernatorial candidate was to cynthia nixon. u. will know her from sex in the city. this is what -- cynthia nixon tweeted. she wrote in response: i can think of no better description than to call ice

is kind of silly. sir, it's gotten quite serious since then. >> well, it actually started with the election. in a free society where people choose their government, the one thing that is required for that government to survive is that people have to accept the results of the election. and what we have had since november of 2016 is that the losing side has not accepted the result. so what what they have done from day one, from the moment this has happened, they tried to not only delegitimize the election itself, but they tried to commit acts of terror. and i use that word very intentionally because when you try change people's behavior, by intimidation, by threats of violence and by actual violence and by boycotting them and by taking away their liberty. that's terrorism. what we are see something a form of terrorism on the left unprecedented in american history. it's fine to disagree with election results. it's fine to hate the people that get elected. i say it's fine.

it's really not. that doesn't necessarily destroy our country. this destroys our country. pete: governor is, there another ingredient to it too? you say delegitimize. how about dehumanize? this idea of wearing a maga hat you must be a racist. that there is code words and you are impugning the supporters. at some point that gives you license to confront in any way. >> well, it's very much a part of it i mean, when you have anchors like joe scarborough saying that anyone who voted for and/or supported the president is a racist. that is a ridiculous statement on its face he should have been fired for that. certainly suspended and forced to apologize. when you had the panelist say that anyone who supported, this is donny deutsch who said if you supporter voted for trump, you are a nazi. my gosh, when you start going to that level, that extreme of attempting to as you say and i agree dehumanize the other side, things are truly spiraling out of control.

abby: yeah, governor, this is when leadership truly matters, right? to your point, that's when you need the folks at the top to step in and say we aren't going to stand for this. this goes well beyond the pale. but we are not seeing that happen. what is the answer? how do we get to a better place? because my fear is this has just become the norm now and it's only going to get increasingly worse as the mid terms heat up and then 2020, how many more maga hats running around this country. how do we calm this down? >> abby, i wish i had a simple answer but a lot of it starts with the most important institution of government we'll ever have. the home. mothers and fathers raising their children to respect other human beings as human beings teaming them to have some basic fundamental manners cure saymanner courtesi. extends all the way up to not only our political leadership but the people who are maybe the ample fires of public opinion in the media. we all have responsibility. but, to your point, i'm really concerned that there

this is exaggeration. it's the same tired failed attack lines as you noted that they used against sandra deo conner back in the 1980s, here we are roe v. wade still the law of the land. i will cite for my friend you just played jeffrey sounds a lot more like a political commentator there and not an analyst of the supreme court. i will fight for him. liberal yale law professor mar a democrat who voted for hillary clinton who just last week on ms-13 said happmsnbc, these aredistinguish, respectful individuals who are qualified. that is from a liberal yale law professor. everything you just heard, that is politics at its best. abby: jessica, what is this all about? real anger or real concern that roe v. wade will be overturned? you know if it comes to that, which i don't think it will, then it goes to the states. and they can figure out their own laws with what they want to do there. so is this just politics or is this about firing up the base or is this something more real? >> i think it's all of those things. and if we think back to what went on with maker garland

and i don't know if kayleigh is on tape saying that he was going to come for everyone's gun. but i have a hunch that it's possible that she played into that narrative from the republicans. had an extremely moderate justifiable there. attacked mercilessly on gun rights that he would harm businesses as well. he didn't even get a confirmation hearing. i get this is rhetoric going into a midterm election. democrats certainly feel aggrieved that merrick garland didn't even get his hearing. at the same time, this is about roe v. wade, but it's about so much more than that about lbgtq rights. about immigration, about protecting the environment. the future of the court does hinge on this. justice kennedy was a swing vote. i understand it will probably switch over to be justice roberts when all is said and done here. it is an important issue. i don't think anyone should pretend that republicans would be acting any different if the rolls were reversed here and we actually did get a hearing for our nominee. abby: kayleigh, your response. >> it's really interesting. because democrats when they talk about the supreme court, they talk about politics. and all those sound bites

you just heard jessica mentioned lbgtq women's rights they talk about politics political issues. when conservatives talk about the supreme court they talk about the constitution. that's what this is about. it's not about the political views of any of these candidates. it's about interpreting the constitution. that's at the heart of the conservative legal movement. it's about reading the words on the page. understanding the original meaning and what the founders intended. process of judicial thought. not about politics. democrats you will hear this all throughout the confirmation hearings. political politics, roe v. wade, abortion, this is what they will say. but it's about the constitution. >> at the end of the day it comes down to the fact that democrats believe that the constitution is a living, breathing document. it has been hundreds of years. things have to be revised. and for you to say it's just about politics, i would tell everyone who is watching please go watch the millions of dollars of ads about merrick garland that he was going to come and take your gun away from you. abby: i hear your argument on that but this is the biggest reminder there is in politics today that

is two distinct branches enforcement and removal operations and homeland security investigations. now enforcement and removal operations conducts immigration enforcement in the interior. they go after your bad guys. your main bad guys, you have got gang members those were aggravated drug offenders. et cetera. homeland security goes after really bad cartel types. they go after sexual exploitation cells. everything can you imagine. pete: you were a whistleblower during the obama administration because you believed they were releasing unaccompanied minors to unvetted criminal sponsors, mules or others, traffickers, that happened so is it important, i mean, that's a big part of your job as well. >> it's absolutely important. what i was is i was part of the white house security counsel's homeland security human smuggling cell back in 2015. i found out that the administration was releasing tender aged kids to unvetted sponsors. it was mind-blowing. pete: absolutely. let's talk about those that

you suffered with first of all, a lot of them have been in the military. you served in the military yourself as well before joining ice, thank you for your service. a lot of them are also hispanic. i believe over 30% of the cbpo represents hispanic. so this is a diverse skilled segment of our population. why did they join ice to serve our country? >> listen, i had a break in service. i was a customs special agent. ice special agent and went to war for a year in iraq. i know you know that i joined ice because it's a great organization. made up of mothers, fathers, anything you can imagine, brothers, sisters, now we are seeing the abolish ice movement put a tear into that. pete: you are potentially going into dangerous places to pull out criminals and drug traffickers and sex traffickers. how more difficult is your job with the world of sanctuary cities, with the world of abolish ice, calling you guys terrorists? how much more difficult is it for you? >> it's absolutely dangerous. now, think about it ice does terrorism investigations.

you abolish ice, you are abolishing terrorist investigations. it's crazy how they could even call for that the men and women out there in the sanctuary cities used to be where you could go and pick up the offenders at the jail and you know you have no possibility of getting hurt because you are coming from a security location to your location. now, if you have to go and apprehend them at their address, what's going to happen. pete: that is the big difference. that's why sanctuary cities are so dangerous for those that have to then go and reinforce the law. what's your message? as someone who has been on the ground both in iraq and in ice executing the critical mission they have. what's your message to those in the abolish ice movement? >> now, listen. ice is not new. ice is a merger of two organizations that have been around for decades. you have the former immigration and naturalization service and you have the former u.s. customs service. they are talking about abolish ice. what you are going to do is get rid of how many thousands of jobs? jobs held by veterans, by patriots. by those in america that are here to protect and serve

business confidence, individual consumer confidence all up. important to point out, hispanic unemployment all time low 4.6%, the lowest it's been since 2006. earnings are up. we just talks about the june jobs report. april and may numbers were both revised up as well. so the previous months were even better than we thought. a lot of this is not what the democrats expected. maybe they should have thought that maybe a businessman who has created jobs and made money in the past might know what it is going to take. abby: they are not happy about this. here's the statement coming from the dnc about trump's economic policies. they say with slow wage growth, rising healthcare premiums and skyrocketing gas prices across the country, donald trump's reckless policies are hurting millions of hard-working families. that is clearly their message going -- i mean the midterms are right around the corner. ed: their message is you have more money in your pocket right now, america, but that's a bad thing. pete: that's reckless. it is reckless to cut your taxes and cut the corporate tax rate.

abby: you mentioned the hispanic numbers. we read a poll last weekend how they are like trump 10% have gone up among hispanic voters. you wonder where that stems from. it all goes back to the economy. pete: the left is spinning this fast and they see that number and say how can that be. now they have a job or they are seeing their friends come back into the workforce, attempt to get a job, you know, that builds optimism and you look to the guy at the top and say he said he was going to change some things. it is changing. abby: why do people want to come to this country? they want to come because you want to live the american dream. you want to know you can give your family a better future than they have wherever they are. you see with hispanics going up 10%. that's a big deal because it shows you can come to this country, you do it the right way and you can be successful and give your family a much better life. pete: in 1992, it is the economy

stupid. this is one of the things the president is banking on heading into midterms with a strong economy. rush limbaugh yesterday called out the democrats for basically being against anything trump even if it's good for your pocket >> how in the world do you turn a booming economy with 3.7 million new jobs since the election into a raw deal? the people getting jobs are people that didn't have jobs during the obama administration. folks, look, i know the left like nobody does. and this is deranged. what's the solution? government needs to get bigger? this is all bad, too many jobs created and government had nothing to do with? you realize folks what a dramatic shift. i mean as recently as the obama administration they were talking about the economy and trying to say that it was great in order to boost obama. pete: as obama folks will say jobs started returning under his administration but a lot of it was policies of government growth, whether it was subsidies or bailouts or stimulus plans, and it's the opposite under this administration, which feels more

organic and sustainable. it is not taxpayer dollars going to lifting the boat. it is unleashing of the hidden hand of the free market. and employers think i can hire more people, i can raise my wages, i can expand my business, that's organic and lasting. abby: it is happening at the right pace. you also talk about wages, hourly wages is a huge part of the conversation. whenever you talk about the economy, it's gone up 2.7% compared to this time in june last year. i mean, that is obviously there's always room to grow when it comes to wages, but you should note that and say that is a direction that we want to keep moving in. we want to keep moving forward and giving people higher wages. >> we saw the president in montana this week, key senate race in the mid terms, talking up the economy, immigration and other big issues. democrats have been talking up russia, russia, since day one of the administration. it was kind of a funny moment but maybe it is not just humor maybe it is revealing about the fact that despite all the russia

talk, the investigation, the mueller investigation came up on jeopardy and the contestants couldn't explain the key part of the investigation. watch. >> in 2017, this ex national security advisor pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi. >> kelly? >> no. >> steve? no. >> it was michael flynn. abby: john kelly by the way he's still -- ed: how many hours have been spent on russia and the average person is saying what? pete: these folks clearly don't watch the trump hate network cnn or msnbc or the nightly news, or the new york times or any other news outlet, it's been all about russia. mike flynn's name has been headlines, sub headlines, first paragraph, second paragraph, these are smart folks you don't just stumble on to jeopardy.

they clearly follow that lose. at some point i think smart people, dumb people, regular people, they start to tune out when they see an agenda coming through. abby: who are the regular people? pete: i don't care. put yourself where you want to put yourself. you start to tune out stuff that you know is being spun at you or you feel like it's being manufactured. the false urgency, and in this case, what a great example, just when the real world kind of wakes you up. abby: you also start tuning out false headlines which happens way too often these days. the ap had a recent headline says the u.s. army quietly discharging immigrant recruit. ed: the point is they were trying to tie it to this narrative that the president's zero-tolerance policy on fighting illegal immigration, illegal immigration, not legal immigration, that somehow it's now pervading the military when

in fact this is a policy that's been in effect through the last bush administration and the obama administration. so it's something that's spanned republican and democratic administrations. it didn't start yesterday. abby: it is a way to give people that want to serve this count tray pathway. -- country a pathway. i think it is a very useful way to get people here that want to be here, that want to be part of this great country. so they had that headline out. you would immediately think that's what the administration is doing. pete: put the headline up one more time. the word quietly that implies secretive, insidious approach from the pentagon, must be driven by the white house and the immigrants, as you pointed out for illegals and the policies of this administration. it's become so much about the headline. the army immediately pushing back. anyone who understands how the army operates immediately pushed back. these aren't folks that are serving and now being deported. these are new recruits of immigrant background, legal immigrant background and they do

background checks and sometimes guys don't pass the background checks. this is what the department of military had to say about this report. pete: a lot of this is before they get to basic training because they want to vet these guys. ed: the military suspended the program because they decided they could not fully vet some of these folks who are coming into the military. it is a good idea to make sure -- the president says it all the time at the border let's figure out who is coming into this country. the pentagon is trying to figure out who is coming into the military, want to make sure they are people we trust. pete: yeah. ed: bottom line is this is not some shocking development. this is hey we want to make sure who is in the military. it becomes part of a narrative. abby: when there's a false

narrative out there, we can't be so quick to jump on that and report on that. pete: i had a bunch of people sending that to me yesterday on e-mail and twitter, look at this. hold on a second, let's see what's going on here. abby: send us your thoughts. friends @ foxnews.com. i want to bring you other headlines. the thai navy they could soon begin their operation to rescue a trapped boys soccer team inside a flooded cave. their plan may include what is called a buddy dive where an experienced diver would swim with each of the 12 boys out of the cave. severe weather and low oxygen levels now pushing the crews to act. the coach writing an apology let tore the parents but reassures -- apology letter to the parents but reassuring the parents they are okay. one boy sent this note don't forget to set up my birthday party. the other one saying i'm fine, get ready to take me out to fried chicken. president trump's legal team setting new conditions before agreeing to sit down interview with special counsel mueller.

>> the dogma lives loudly within you. and that's of concern. >> tell me how you view that whole issue of same sex marriage, your catholic belief, and what it means to you on the bench. >> it was enough of a statement of the role of religion was -- i thought that justice was supposed to be blind. abby: that was les than a year ago democratic senators grilling amy barrett's ability to rule as federal judge giving her catholic beliefs despite the fact that she has said in the past that judges cannot nor should they say try to align our legal system with the church's moral teaching. >> if she becomes the president's nominee, will she face an anticatholic senate smear campaign? the "wall street journal"'s adam o'neil joins us with his take. good morning. >> i thought when john kennedy ran for president and gave that

famous speech that maybe we had sort of turned the corner and your faith would no longer be an idea that because you are catholic the pope was going to control you. yet it seems like that kind of discrimination is back. >> the conspiracy theorists are still here. amy barrett belongs to a group called people of praise, it is an ecumenical christian organization, millions of people belong to groups like this. democratic u.s. senate candidate said it is a cult. they are trying to say that somehow these people would control her on the bench and force her to vote a certain way which is pretty deranged frankly. abby: she is so much more than a catholic, that's a piece of who she is. she is a mother of seven kids. she has an incredible legal background, constitutionalist, conservative, she backs all that up, but given the fact she is catholic, it is going make this

confirmation process if she's picked quite contentious. >> donald trump has made fantastic judicial picks, every conservative would agree on this, he's done so because he's picked based on people who are brilliant originalists. he shouldn't back down if he does pick barrett. if this turns into debate whether catholics who belong to christian organizations can serve on the supreme court, the president is going to win. i think millions of americans are going to realize -- ed: as an extension of that the idea out there is that brett kavanaugh while conservative and pro-life, another finalist, it's been considered maybe wrongly that he's more moderate on some issues, and that she as a catholic is stronger against abortion rights and somehow if the president picks her, it's harder to get susan collins and other moderate republicans because she's going to be more hostile to roe v. wade. true, false? >> i believe brett kavanaugh is also a catholic because i guess

he doesn't belong to -- i don't know, it is very strange while they are choosing to pick on judge barrett. frankly it is kind of difficult to enter the conspiracy theorists' mind. >> the left picking on a catholic and a woman by the way. >> yeah, i mean, these things like the left will always elevate women, right, unless -- they have to be the right kind of woman; right? they have to agree to all of the you might say progressive dogmas. >> it is going to be quite a fight. abby: we will find out in a few days. great to have you with us. >> thank you. the november midterms are coming closer. >> it's time to retire liberal democrat. you can right your wrong in november. okay? >> so is the left underestimating the president's power to actually sway some of these big senate battles. abby: australia now issues signs

we don't want to wait until we have a large outbreak of some deadly disease like measles or something that could affect the population as a whole. i understand the parents concerns but don't want my child going to school with kids that aren't vaccinated. i think the united states should crack down on parents who refuse to do it. >> carla, fines, making it illegal in australia? famously america is a place of freedom, of choice. should parents have that choice? >> as a parent i believe this is not a debate about the necessity of vaccinations. i believe it is a debate over governmental control. i believe as a parent i have the right to decide to vaccinate or not to vaccinate my children. i decided to vaccinate my three girls, but i did opt-out of one vaccine call eed gardasil. i'm thankful i have the parental right to opt-out of that. i believe limited government is really best. i think when government plays the role of the parent, they play a terrible role in parenting. we've seen that historically

that they are very wasteful with their spending. and i'm more concerned about the illegal immigration and the diseases that are coming in with that. we need to protect our children from a lot of the outbreaks that we're seeing that haven't been here for decades. >> doctor, you point to the statistics on this. you look at it from sort of a physician's view, how important are vaccinations, and do you have to mandate them for them to be effective? >> i do believe we have to mandate them. what happened in our country is we have absolute failure of our vaccine program from like the early 2000s, our vaccination rates dropped immensely, outbreak of measles in california in 2015. in new york city we had an outbreak of pertussis in a school down from my office. these because parents were making decisions they weren't prepared to make. sometimes you have to trust your physician. choosing your doctor is a bond of trust. if you come to me and say you know what? i like you and i want everything but the vaccines because i don't really think you are right about

vaccines then you don't trust me as a physician. >> not everyone gets that bond with their doctor. a lot of it can be very clinical, different person every time. suddenly your baby is there, there are four needles going into them and you don't know what it is and you can understand -- >> that's our jobs as physicians to educate our patients. historically the u.s. has always favored over public health as opposed to one parent's religious beliefs. back in 1905, a case of jacobson versus massachusetts where the court decided that the person can refuse vaccine and get a fine, but the public health prevails. >> statistically if you look at the states and you look at the percentages, the lowest states, 90% are vaccinated, so that means only 10% are not vaccinated of our children. so 90% are protected. 10% are at risk. >> and we need to enforce that more so that the number doesn't drop because like the doctor says, there's all these, you know, outbreaks of diseases such

as measles and we don't want innocent children to be affected. pete: our healthcare, education system, this is something that every viewer here and parent deals with. you appreciate your perspective this morning. thank you. a fox news alert, breaking details on the denuclearization talks with north korea. the possible setback after secretary of state pompeo's visit with senior officials. and this 6-year-old has a unique talent. he can recite every country in alphabetical order. i can't tell you which country would come first. afghanistan? i don't know. he joins us coming up. >> argentina, armenia, australia.

comes to the democrats criticizing this economy and the jobs numbers yesterday looked pretty darn good. neil: they did. that's been the wind at the president's backs. republicans like to argue the wind at their back going into november, do you know what's left out of the 213,000 jobs which is better than thought guys is the additional 601,000 americans who decided to dip their toe back in the job market that had long been frustrated. that's what prompted the unemployment rate to tick up to 4%. you are seeing a lot of people saying you know i'm hearing about this good job market let me see how good it is. that's an encouraging development and one of the reasons why the president has stated i know you guys are getting into this that we can withstand a trade war with the chinese or whomever else because we're coming from a position of strength. abby: you also see a real up tick in the hispanic community in this most recent jobs report. that might go to show why the polls most recently have looked better for president trump among hispanic votes, despite everything that's been going on at the border, neil. it's a reminder that ultimately

it is the economy, economy, economy. neil: i always think that we make a big deal -- the fact of the matter is we all want to succeed. we all want a job and good job at that. we all want gifts from ed henry. that's what drives us. i think we lose sight of that. but generally the party in power benefits when the economy is looking good. it's looking very very good. now, it doesn't always translate into big gains in a midterm election, but most times it does. i think that's one of the things that has some democrats worried. pete: you talk about trade, one of your guests today, pat buchanan you have on the program to maybe help explain the situation we are in right now. neil: he goes back to 1968 and he remembers, you know, that was the time when the line was coined the silent majority about americans who were frustrated but they weren't getting the coverage on tv with riots and

raucous behavior and some of these scenes we saw play out with the protest of the statue of liberty on the 4th of july and some campaigns across the country to ice i.c.e., you have heard it all that it does make good television, does create drama on news networks and the like but the fact of the matter is a lot of americans are looking at that and according to mr. buchanan they recoil at that and it could cost democrats dearly as it did in 68. we will parallel those two developments. >> don't miss neil's show at the top of the hour which is a frankly a gift to america. neil: that makes up for the lack of -- abby: see you soon, neil. pete: president trump goes on the offense against democrats as the november elections draws nearer. >> it is time to retire liberal democrat john tester. you can right your wrong in november. okay? you can right your wrong. pete: the left underestimating

because it gets the republicans out to vote. they say stay away from that word. ed: with four months until the midterms is the left underestimating the president's power to sway key voters in the big senate battles? joining us to weigh is a pollster. >> good morning. ed: what's your sense about the president's potency right now because for months we have heard he's the least popular president we have had in some time but it seems to me his numbers are ticking up. >> they are ticking up. i have two statistics, number one, donald trump's numbers are ahead at obama's at the same point in the 2010 election. and number two, the generic ballot, this is the negative for the republicans, that's a generic ballot stands at just over 7% of democratic advantage. at those numbers, and with a turnout that seems to benefit democrats up to this point, you still have to assume that democrats win control of the house by a very narrow margin. there's a caveat to that.

the president's numbers have been ticking up. the public does see the economy tremendously improved over the last two years and they feel more money in their pockets. that means that i expect these generic ballot numbers to close. i expect that by election day, you will have about a 4 point democratic advantage, which will not be enough for them to take control, and it is up to the president to do speeches like he did in montana to remind people of the difference between democrats and republicans. ed: you know going back to the contract with america, maybe even before that, there's always been this question about do you nationalize midterm elections or should you go state by state, focus on the local issues that matter to folks and whatnot? when the president goes into a state like montana and he's talking about everything from maxine waters to the economy, to nfl protests to elizabeth warren, is that helpful or hurtful to the republicans? >> well it depends on which issue you referenced. i do believe he should be

nationalizing this week. everyone this week, this independence day week paid more for energy and their gas prices. if you made every car a flex fuel vehicle car, you would lower energy prices immediately. it adds to national security. it's helpful for the economy. that's something the president can do. second would be a further tax cut between now and election day because that puts more money in people's pockets. if you get into issues like the nfl, that doesn't work. to talk about energy independence, tax cuts, the economy, that does work. ed: the smart people quote unquote smart people have been wrong about donald trump again and again. about a week or two ago they were saying he's done in the midterms maybe his presidency is done because of the border crisis, parents being separated from children, now there's a new narrative, the opposite, the democrats want to abolish i.c.e. which the president thinks will be a potent issue. i have 30 seconds. will that blow up in democrats' faces? >> i think they do underestimate
