polls but the left might want to back off their glowing endorsement. >> use the term the occupation of palestine. >> um, i think what i meant is -- >> do you think can you expand on that. >> i'm not an expert on geo politics. ♪ r-o-c-k in the u.s.a. steve: rocking in the u.s.a. july 17th, 2018. rocking on the mezzanine level of fox news headquarters. ains solid returning from helsinki. abby: she texted me she is back on u.s. soil. she had to turn her phone off because you don't know what's going on with the hacking. steve: that's why she never. abby: she never responded to our texts. steve: of course she was over there to cover the

president and putin and they had a big summit. did you hear about it? the president said it was successful. but, then again, that's not what everybody is talking about today. brian: two hours one-on-one. then about an hour of a bilateral. then a 15-minute break, perhaps and it was time to meet the press. at which time you knew the first series of questions were going to be election meddlinrussianmeddling and the . 12 people on the russian side state sponsored if these numbers are correct. no reasonable not to believe that, who were part of the hacking into the election. not affecting the result. but, going ahead and creating chaos in our electoral system. when president trump was asked about that, he fell short. listen. >> asked a question, my people came to me, dan coats tame to me and others said they think it's russia. i have president putin. he just said it's not russia. i will say this. i don't see any reason why

it would be. steve: so the criticism of the president from both sides of the aisle is, wait a minute, you were given a choice, do you believe russia or do you believe your own intel community and he had that answer, which is puzzling to me because there have been a number of times when the president has said that i think it was russia. i think it was russia. i think there was meddling. he had the chance yesterday. he did not do it. and that has got a lot of people scratching. at love people are criticizing him for not being bold. abby: you are standing next to vladimir putin whose ultimate goal in life is to undermine our democracy. it was that one moment that had you to stand up for your own country, to stand up for your intelligence community. as we said this morning he did not do that he has tweeted out sense. he said as i said today and many times before i have great confidence in my intelligence people; however, i also recognize that in order to build a brighter future we cannot exclusively focus on the past as the world's two

largest nuclear powers. we must get along there was a real opportunities to be had. he was teed up. there was a lot of work that led into the summit yesterday and words do matter in these moments. brian: absolutely. the president sunday the impression i don't know why still if he says the russians hacked it makes his election look illegitimate. senator schumer and hillary clinton will never get over the fact that you won the election. neither will 16 republicans get over the fact that you won the primary. did the russians help with you that. no. from the day you came down the casey later you shocked the world from. november you had everybody losing you shocked the world. it wasn't because of russia. but russia's goal was to up end the process. they hate democracy. i will say this to the president when newt gingrich, when general jack keane and matt schlapp said the president fell short and made our intelligence apparatus look bad it's time to pay attention. it's easily correctable from the president's perspective.

will intense days of summits and private meetings and everything on his plate. that he was the moment that's going to stand out unless he comes out and corrects it. steve: look, a lot of people get confused. i'm not saying the president is confused. a lot of people are confused about the russia collusion thing. there is a big thing between collusion and the meddling. the president says there was no collusion. is he right in that. he says it every time. but pretty much in their brother, except vladimir putin knows that there was meddling. so, brian, to your point where it drives the president crazy apparently. when it is suggested that he did not win the presidency on his own, that there was some meddling that helped him, keep in mind all the authorities have said that there was meddling but not a single vote was changed. abby: by the way vladimir putin, did you watch that interview with chris wallace. brian: you got to watch it. abby: biggest take away i had was when he asked about the meddling in his own way he admitted to it he just

doesn't sees a what they does meddling. he sees it as providing people with the facts. if we upend emails and show you what's going on behind closed doors that's just showing the accuracy of what is going on. brian: his point was, abby, we showed you, john podesta' emails for how they got out there, they revealed the fact that hillary clinton and the dnc combined to sideline bernie sanders. they showed her all the things that she was up to, and he thinks it's okay. vants in his own evil mind because i exposed the truth. i didn't put out false emails. it's no big deal. why are the american people -- why wouldn't the american people benefit from transparency. it's not up to him to decide what private emails get exposed or not get expose you had. and with the president if he just turns around and says not okay. if it happens in november, the retribution you can't possibly calculate that's going to be coming down the pipe for russia. we can blink the lights on the entire country --

abby: by the way president trump won the election. he halls got to get over that. we are here now. brian: absolutely. abby: admitting meddling in the election it does not credit where he is. there is collusion and meddles. he has a real opportunity still i think to be had to address that and make it clear where he stands on this issue. steve: in fact, the president was on with sean hannity last night after his summit and said the whole russian meddling thing is driving a wedge between the united states and russia. >> i think it's a shame we are talking about nuke already polic proliferation. we're talking about syria and humanitarian aid. we get questions on the witch-hunt. first what's happenings to our country because of this. we have never done better in so many ways, including economically but when you see this thing going on, and i will tell you it's driven a wedge between us and russia. maybe we have just knocked down that wedge. brian: that's true it is fundamentally russia's fault. not ours.

if there is a wedge between them fundamentally it's with russia. it's not our fault. it's been over the top in people going out of their way to try to justify president trump's win, which democrats still can't figure out. meanwhile, rush limbaugh weighed. >> in the russians have been meddling in america since before i was born, folks. it isn't news. it isn't one way or the other of a special counsel doing a special intelligence investigation. it isn't necessary. the media looked at it as this press conference as the day they are going to nail trump. trump is turning the tables on them. ripping the democrats. he won this race. deaf it himself. he outworked hillary clinton. he worked harder than any candidate in recent memory, and he doesn't want that taken away from him. he won this thing and he wants everybody to realize he won it; that it wasn't stolen. steve: what do you think about all of this and everything that has transpired in the last 24 hours email us at friends@foxnews.com or you can tweet us or facebook us as well. abby: it has only been a

week. it is tuesday. a lot going on with the fbi and lisa page how all know the lover of peter strzok and their text message exchanges. she was on the hill yesterday about those text messages and she was questioned by congress for the second day. she actually completely discredits peter strzok, her exlover in that testimony. she stands by her texts. she says i meant every word of those texts and what they mean. steve: in particular, you know, the infamous one that came out the day that the inspector general was going to have his report, curious timing there. remember this one where lisa page texted peter strzok and said trump's not ever going to become president, right, right? and strzok said no, no, we won't. he won't. we'll stop it. what he said during his testimony last week was we will stop it, meant the american people. well, apparently it sounds likes she might have had a dinner interpretation. and john ratcliffe, the congressman, he said that she was much more

transparent than mr. peter strzok. >> there are differences in their testimony on many cases. she admits that the text messages mean exactly what they say as opposed to agent strzok who thinks that we have all misininterpretted his own words on any will text message that might be negative. brian: she was evidently behind closed doors trying to diminish her importance but made no qualms about the fact she was a democrat and didn't want donald trump to be elected. the question is what did she do about it? i hear from people behind the scenes that people appreciate her cooperation she came off extremely intelligent and smart and forthcoming considering what she has been through personally over the last year. i'm not saying your heart goes out to her. but, after what we saw with peter strzok for 10 hours, you appreciate some humility that's evidently what she displayed. abby: he found every excuse in the book that people were taking it out of context. he didn't actually mean that. i assume their love life

isn't diagnose well anymore. brian: i think it's done. insurance plan what are you going to do to stop them when we don't know. the names listed in the ig report conspiring to do the best they can or have opinions about how bad a pinner donald trump was. if you are donald trump how can you think anything but the fbi under the previous administration was out to get him. the deputy gone. the james comey fired. peter strzok if he is not sullied and destroyed personally and with all his credibility, i don't know what is. steve: peter strzok and he all those questions about the insurance policy and stuff. he gave his answer. she gave her answers yesterday. we may never know exactly because she is apparently not going to be appearing in public doing testimony but nonetheless can you count on some of the stuff leaking out. abby: we will have representative louie gohmert on the show from the house judiciary committee. a lot of questions to ask him. there is a lot of other things going on this morning

♪ steve: following president trump's meeting with russian president vladimir putin yesterday and before that his historic sitdown with north korean dictator kim jong un, many are wondering who is next on his who he is going to meet with list.

here to discuss some of those possibilities senior fellow for the independent institute and author of the book "11 presidents," ivan eland joins us live from d.c. >> good morning. steve: let's look in the rear view mirror for a minute what did you think the president's meeting yesterday with president sput. >> taking lessons from nato summit and the russian summit, i think the key thing is that the president needs to learn thousand tell people directly but diplomatically the situation. i think you know, we were under attack in our elections. i think he really needs to bring that up and separate it from any collusion, you know, that he feels didn't happen. but he needs to respond very strongly on this issue of the attack. steve: sure. all right. he did not do that. that's what has a lot of people scratching heir heads yesterday. ivan, let's look at future meetings, you think it would be a shoe in for the president to sit down with

the new incoming president of mexico, right? >> i think. so they are kind of from opposite ends of the political spectrum but they are also sort of populist so they may have something in common. and also, you know, if the president is concerned about the border, immigration, security at the border. i mean, mexico is the country to talk to. and i think the united states could help mexico with some of their own problems. problem at the border. steve: of course the president has met with the president of china xi jinping but you think that would be a great summit, too. >> i think these at any rate trade difficulties could be a disaster if they're not corrected. he really needs to focus on intellectual property. that's what the chinese are really doing not the bilateral trade deficits that we have with them. i think they are stealing our intellectual property. and i think that's a problem by any standard in international trade. steve: and this last one i didn't see coming, you think

he should sit down with hasan rouhani who runs iran. >> well, excuse me, if he is trying to renegotiate an agreement, you can't do that unless you sit down with him. and i think it's worth doing. if you do it with kim jong un, can you certainly do it with rouhani. and i'm not saying that the iranians will even agree to this, but it might be worth a shot. steve: you never know. all right, ivan eland senior fellow independent institute and author of 11 presidents, sir, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: 6:20 in new york city. remember when the national guard was sent to help at the u.s.-mexico border? well now we know how much of an impact they have made. we're going to till. the new darling of the democratic party just dug herself into a hole she might not be able to get out of. alexandria ow owe ocasio cortez just called israelis occupiers. ♪

representative. proudly ignorant and thoroughly anti-israel. it makes sense. this poor girl alexandria ocasio cortez is making an impression and it's a lasting one. what do we know about her since she hit the national stage. she is a liar, lied about her upembryonicking. she pretended to be from a poor part of the bronx and grew up there. she grew up in one of the ritziest place in the condition. i know this because i grew up in the town over from her. she is proudly ignorant. great line she says you know, i don't really know a lot about this but i firmly believe, frequently wrong but never in doubt. she uses the slogans that we have seen from democrats now for the past 20 years. you know, we heard in the bush ear remarks bush lied, people died, he didn't. we heard no for oil, there wasn't one. trump co-liewfded with russia, there is no evidence of that the myth of israeli occupied palestine which i believe is the country east

of narnia and west of conda. margaret hoover in that television program scratched just below the surface and alexandria cortez had no answer. she didn't learn anything. all she learned was ideology. york town law school is not as good as we thought it was. abby: she went to boston university. she says she doesn't know geo politics in that interview. she majored in international relations. obviously this is something she claims to know a lot about. kudos to margaret hoover in that interview for simply listening and following up can you please expand on this. what i'm surprised by she has done so many interviews since this big win several weeks ago and none of this has been exposed. what does this tell you about bigger picture the democratic party? >> well, first of all it, tells you that the media are carrying water for them. margaret hoover has a very sort of stable, socialer public affairs show. she is not exactly out to get her guests but the guests expose themselves.

if ocasio cortez were smart she would have locked herself in the closet until november. the election was hers. all she is doing is hurting herself. there is a real problem with millennial education. i'm the same age as ocasio cortez. i went to a school nearby in high school. one aspect of that in high schools, especially in new york in those days the curricula told you don't worry about studying facts. don't learn names and dates and details, just learn broader picture trends. that's the it logical component that allows a committed socialist like cortez to spout ignorance without a basis what what she is talking about. abby: wake-up call. she is in the hot seat now. you can get a lot of other questions will be coming her way. good to see you. >> you, too abby. abby: this video is insane. a lava bomb crashing through the roof of a boat packed with tourists. what happened next? got to wait for that

street performer and also a artist, a street artist by the name of sabo out in los angeles put up a great big billboard right there. he had a team that essentially hijacked the billboard and criticized him for stolen valor which has been some suggestion where because he dressed up like a disabled veteran, according to governor sarah palin, there should be some consequence. brian: i don't think palin was on his episode we don't know what he dressed like. for everybody he was a different character. if someone goes up to you and says i'm in -- i got hurt in the service and then later on he says i was a u.p.s. service man and i got hurt shooting a mexican or something to that. steve: is that his story. brian: that's one of his stories. i haven't seen that episode yet. he could have been saying that. if you are saying service, are you in service? if you say you are in service? steve: i read a couple reviews of the series and

it's supposed to disappear in 2025. they want to make it permanent. they want to make the standard deduction, very important, they want to make that permanent. they want to make changes to 401(k)s, iras, make it easy to put more money in and maybe a new rule which says you have to opt out of a 401(k) as opposed to opting in. sounds complicated. they want to make it easier for you to save more money for your retirement and, therefore, keep this boom going. brian: one of the big things in our country we have not attacked ever is retirement. what are we going to do if you have nothing saved in your life when you get to be that age of retirement. social security is tough to live on. this could be one thing for middle class families to respond to. >> very big deal. because, at the moment, when you join a corporation, and they have got a 401(k), a pension plan, you have to say i want in. i want to see the rule changed so that you have to say i want out. so you automatically in. you are automatically saving

money for your retirement. steve: stuart, if they were to pass in the house and the senate, you would need 60 votes in the senate. however, obviously they want to take the vote before the election to put some vulnerable democrats on the hook to take a vote. >> . steve: they might actually vote for it. >> they could indeed. brian: why not? >> not major corporations. steve: they didn't vote last time. >> they are not the richest people in our society. no, this is to the middle class. are you going to vote against something which is clearly in favor of america's middle class. i don't think they will. abby: what's happening today? who is he meeting with and can people expect this to happen soon. >> people in the house ways and means committee kevin brady is the chair. he writes tax policy. he is the front man to do this. i believe he is meeting 2:00 this afternoon in the oval office. the intention is to keep the boon going. we should talk about that. i don't think it's widely reported that we are in a boom situation. we have new figures from fox research showing 1.1 million

people in the trump administration, within the trump term of office have already moved from part-time to full-time work. that's a very, very big deal. steve: it is. >> 55 million americans who have a 401(k) looking at gains 20, 25% since the trump presidency began. that's the booming stock market to the booming economy. we have also seen a very sharp run-up in retail sales. that was a surprise. consumers are spending. this economy is absolutely booming and it's not widely reported that we will get the official numbers next week. i have think it's going to be 4% growth. brian: guess who is slowing down slightly china. >> yes, indeed. their stock market is down 20, 25%. big drop. steve: maybe they will be willing to deal on tariffs and trade then. >> that's the suggestion, isn't it? president trump has leverage. we have a strong economy. we are imposing tariffs. what's the response? are we going to get our way on intellectual property and the seeding of technology to

china. get our way in dropping those tariffs and getting more free trade? interesting question. i will tell if you we do get good news on trade, you will see that stock market melt up not down. abby: great news. >> i think. abby: good to see you. steve: how does something melt up? >> don't ask. brian: i get it. a lot of volcanos, islands. i will see you on radio. we do a simulcast. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. coming up straight ahead this new book about the cold war catching the attention of newt gingrich the former speaker of the house comparing it to what we are seeing following the trump-putin summit. the author daniel silva joins us live in a matter moments with some insight about what happened yesterday. steve: and texas congressman louie gohmert was in the room as lawmakers grilled former fbi lawyer lisa page. we're going to talk to him about her live in about 20 minutes from now. ♪ i believe it's time for me to fly ♪

brian: bestselling author daniel silva has a brand new book out today called "the other woman" fictional tale of new cold war perpetrated by this country called russia. after this indictment of russian agents you would like a sense of background to the russian effort to undermind the united states and its allies read an educational story in daniel silva's "the other woman" it is a novel with a lot of truth. here now is daniel silva. a novel with a lot of truth thanks to president trump and vladimir putin. >> both a thriller writer in his time and historian. what this book does is sort

of puts the context of what we are facing now, a new cold war instigated by russia and puts it in historical context. what i'm saying is that putin's efforts to divide the western alliance, to undermine the united states to drive a wedge between the united states and great britain, all this is from a very, very old playbook from the kgb that goes all the way back to the 1920s and 1930s. they used to call it active measures back in the old days. but this book explores the kim master spy and sort of uses that as a way to talk about what we are facing now. brian: cyber technology make it easier to do things like this? >> extraordinarily easy. and as dni dan coats pointed out this week. we are under constant attack. and i don't think that's an overstatement. brian: he said a flashing red light. >> he borrowed language to

the run up of the 9/11 that the system is blinking red. the russians have been probing at us con strantsly from the very time that they were able to develop an offensive scibber capability. structure, our government communication systems are under constant russian attack. i think it's fair to say that their communication systems are under constant nsa attack but we're not planting bugs to necessarily take down a power station or take down a dam or do something that can cost lives. brian: or an electoral system. >> or an electoral system. there is no evidence to suggest that they hacked in to voting databases, not yet at least. at least that we know about. they did it in different way and that bows back to that back to the 1920s and 30's. the russianys very, very adept at black propaganda and disinformation

campaigns. the kgb has been doing it for darn near a century and did it. brian: how did the president do yesterday with vladimir putin? >> i think that even the president's closest 80's and his most ardent supporters would conceit that he made a very, very, very grave mistake yesterday any helsinki. brian: it's correctable. still early. start by tweeting something out today. congratulations on this book called "the other woman requests and congratulations to the world that causes a lot of fodder and allows to you write great novels. >> thank you. brian: vladimir putin won't accept the indictments against his intel officers. watch. >> russia has a state has never interfered with the internal affairs of the united states. >> the indictment shows -- i have 12 names here. brian: the rest of his fire rye exchange with chris wallace at the top of the hour. plus, texas congressman louie gohmert. we have florida congressman

with mr. putin over in helsinki the president as they throwed to the pedestrian yum said it's a good meeting. here is what everybody is talking about. we had heard that the president was going to bring up russian meddling with mr. putin and apparently he did. the president wouldn't really admit that he thought that it was the russians and so one of the reporters asked, okay, who do you believe? do you believe your intel community, mr. president, or do you believe the russians? and this is the answer that everybody is talking about. >> all i can do is ask the question. my people came to me, dan coats came to me and some other, they said they think it's russia. i have president putin. he just said it's not russia. i will say this. i don't see any reason why it would be. steve: see, the thing about that answer which surprised a lot of people including me is the president in the past has said i think it was the

russians. i think it was the russians. i think there was meddling. we know there was meddling. the president's own intel chiefs have said mr. president, there was meddling. it was russia. and so when he said that yesterday, that surprised a lot of people, including me. abby: yeah. he has not come down strong enough yet on meddling in this election. there you were in front of the entire world next to vladimir putin of all people who his main mission in life is to undermine our democracy at home. it was a real opportunity for president trump to talk about how important this issue is. they said they talked about it behind closed doors. i'm sure there was a lot that happened there that is not being talked about today and maybe history -- time will tell. there was far more substance that many of the headlines have spoken to. but the problem is the way that he handled it in that moment, there is reason for people to pause and for people to be quite upset, frankly because this is a real issue that we face with russia. them trying to meddle in our elections. as you said, steve, our intelligence community has all made it very clear this

has happened in the past and going to continue to happen. even vladimir putin admitted it in his own way last night talking to our own chris wallace is a big deal. brian: the president said okay. let me make this clear. i said today and um times before, quote: i have great confidence in my intelligence people. however, i also recognize that in order to build a brighter future we cannot exclusively focus on the past as the world's two largest nuclear powers. we must get along. here's the problem. it's not our fault that they medalled in the election. it's their problem. we have the superior defense. we have 30 3 million people. they have the economy of a small south american country. why have the number one economy in the world with the most innovative people, period. they decide meddle in our election. don't affect the outcome. it's not unusual for another country to weigh in ton a leader that think want. you are going to tell me angela merkel didn't want hillary clinton to win you? are going to tell me that gorbachev flat out to bush

41 we want to you win this next election. let us know what we can do. they didn't say they were going to meddle. but if you want to voice support to say this is the right guy at the right time, you got it. steve: how many times have we heard the president say there was no collusion, there was no collusion between the russians and his campaign. we have heard that a million times. but, the question was about russian meddling. in particular. and, you know, i have heard from d.c. lawmakers that people get confused, you know, it all runs together to them. the collusion thing and the melgding thing, it's all russia. it's all glommed together. but, an hour ago i said i didn't know if the president was confused but maybe he actually is because in axios, i just got it delivered five minutes ago, they write trump has at times privately conceded that russia probably hacked, they say. but the prevailing theory among trump aides and alumni is simple. he writes: he can't

separate meddling from colluding, one source close to trump said. he can't publicly express any nuanced view because he think it concedes that there is something he did wrong. that makes sense there is a gigantic difference between meddling, which the intel community has said there was. and colluding which so far we haven't seen any evidence that that happened between the trump administration and the campaign and russia. abby: here is the problem. you take that approach, right? and it undermines your intelligence community but it also takes all the oxygen out of the room other big things discussed. they have been tough when it comes to iran. 700 russians and businesses sanctioned. 12 indicted under. 12 russians for meddling in the election. they have armed ukrainians. there are things to talk about in a positive way that have been done against russia. so the president spoke with sean hannity and talked again about meddling in the election. he says this has caused a

wedge between the two countries. here is what he said. >> i think it's a shame. we are talking about nuclear proliferation. why are talking about syria and humanitarian aid. we are talking about all of these different things and we get questions on the witch-hunt. very sad what's happening to our country because of this. we have never done better in so many ways including economically. when you see this thing going on -- and i will tell you it's driven a wedge between us and russia. maybe we have just knocked down that wedge. brian: we will see. it's their fault. they are the one who put the wedge there newt gingrich came out and said president trump must clarify his statements on helsinki on intelligence system and putin. it's the most serious mistake of his presidency and must be corrected immediately. fine. i think the president should take heat. newt gingrich's wife works for him. he has two best-selling books about donald trump. so he is not the first to criticize. however, there are so many democrats who, again, including some republicans who go over the top at the first chance to criticize

the president. here's an example. >> the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the cold war has been over for 20 years. >> in many areas where we are working to solve problems, russia has been an ally. >> governor romney's answer, i thought, was incredibly revealing. he acts like the cold war is still on. russia is still our major adversary. i don't know where he has been. >> mitt romney talks like he has only seen russia by watching rocky iv. >> here is the problem every candidate has struggled to figure out how to deal with vladimir putin. you can't have it both ways. is he an adversary? ultimately they are one of our greatest threats because of what they are trying to do our democracy. we should take it seriously. he has a way to fix this and he should. for the same sake of this country you should always defend america when you leave the country of especially when you are in

helsinki standing next to vladimir putin of all people. brian: the word is jfk would have loved to undone his meeting with crews chevy. got the wrong signals wouldn't have the cuban missile crisis. the president corrected. the president is making history every single day obviously we are reporting it. this is something that needs to be corrected. chris wallace did not wait for that correction. he knew exactly what he was doing. he went after vladimir putin about election meddling and made him answer. listen. >> russia has a state has never interfered with the internal affairs of the united states let alone its election. >> but, sir, this is the indictment. it shows i have 12 names here. >> do you really believe that someone from the russian territory could have influenced the united states and influenced the choice of millions of americans? >> i'm not asking. >> ridiculous. >> i'm asking whether they tried. let me finish. they say that these units involved in hacking into

democratic party computers, stealing information, and spreading it to the world to try to disrupt the american election? may i give this to you to look at, sir? brian: daniel silva studied russia. he said typical kgb. they never will touch something like that. steve: here's the thing. what a dramatic tv moment. it looked like he was being served papers and putin didn't know what was going on he said yeah, right over there remember when the president was alongside theresa may in great britain he said i'm going to talk to putin. everybody is expecting a perry mason moment. he didn't get one but chris wallace did. that was really something. abby: if you haven't seen this interview obviously wait for our show to be over. go watch this interview. the body language alone and in that moment he basically admits to russia being responsible for our election merddling.

meddling. he doesn't see it as meddling. he sees it as uncovering facts and people can take the facts. steve: so tough next to last question how about these people who go against you, essentially, wind up dead? ryan brian he said you don't have assassinations? yeah, donald trump has enemies he doesn't kill them. that's a little different. i also think it's important to point out that vladimir putin almost cyber experts say he almost wanted to get caught. that they are better than. this they could have done it in a way that would have been harder to unveil. they say this was not hard to under cover. they wonder why he did that. ainsley: they want the word it know what they are capable of doing. there is a lot going on this morning. go over to jillian for headlines. jillian: it was a great interview. spot on there. get you caught up with the news. start with a fox news alert. man possible serial killer considered armed and dangerous. naming jose rodriguez as a

>> i wis she was much more forthcoming than peter strzok. people got upset for calling him out for being the scheming liar he is let me say this and it goes with what the president is getting mocked for in russia. i brought this out, and the mainstream media will not touch it. to me fox is the mainstream media. that is we know there is no question the intelligence community inspector general sent chuck mccoal collick told peter strzok that despite what. so media was saying a major foreign power had gotten every one of over 30,000 hillary clinton emails through her own server. everything that came and went except for four. and peter strzok did nothing about it. and apparently he didn't

tell lisa what he had learned from the intel community ig. they sat on that. and the president knows that this foreign entity, not rickenbacker, had everything. not -- russia had everything. it wasn't just russia. there were other major players. and strzok did nothing. lisa apparently didn't know. but. brian: i want to get to lisa page. she is a democrat. she doesn't like trump. but she was different. in what way was she different and more forthcoming. what can you tell us you learned? >> well, she used a more use ise contrite person. like i said, brian, she is a democrat. she wanted hillary to win, and she did not want trump to win. and that's been obvious. there were times the fbi lawyers would be reaching for the button to mute her comment and she would answer before they could mute her

comment. brian: is she contradicting peter strzok in any way? >> not so much. but she has given us more incite as to who was involved in what. of course, when i hear brennan or clapper either say the kind of things they have been saying recently, it tells me wow, we must be getting to them. those guilty dogs are barking pretty loud. i think she will be a good witness. i don't know that we're going to have a public hearing with her. but the important thing is to continue to gather the evidence, bob goodlatte, when we were meeting privately yesterday, after the questioning, he is not done. we're going to keep digging until we get to the bottom of this. it was outrageous. brian: five second answer are there other supervisors involved aside from peter strzok? >> yes. brian: congressman gohmert, can't wait to find out what those names are they need to

this is a slap in the face not only to americans but a slap in the face to the intelligence community and gives open door and invitation for russia to do this again in 2018. not only are these actions treasonous, anyone who supports them can quite frankly consider themselves a traitor. steve: kayleigh, what do you say? >> ridiculous. democrats were singing much different song not too long ago. you saw the clips that were played. democrats were cheering on president obama when he whispered to vladimir putin i have more flexibility after the election. they were cheering on hillary clinton when she extended that goofy red reset button. enough to they think that putin is a big threat. well, guess what? if you were that concerned about putin, rest assured no administration has been on -- as tough on putin as president trump. look at his actions. he sanctioned more than 100-plus russian targets. he closed two diplomatic annexes in the russian consulate. he enforced imagine us imagin my

sanctions. >> look at his actions yes, let us look at his actions. yesterday, on the global stage he stood there and he blamed his own intelligence committee and he said that what we're seeing in russia is actually something, you know what? , putin has said he didn't do this so let's go ahead and belief him. let's look at the facts here. let's not spin this. >> i gave you facts, wenty. >> and i'm giving you facts. let's look at this in a bipartisan manner. this is nothing that says republicans or democrats go ahead and let's give trump the green light. no, we are going to hold him accountable. >> wendy, did president obama. >> american stage. >> wendy, let's deal in facts. >> let's deal in facts. we are dealing in facts. steve: one at a time. >> did president obama sanction 100 u.s. targets, yes or. >> no no. >> did president obama. >> he wasn't in bed with the russians like your president is. that is a fact. that is a fact. so let's deal with facts. >> i gave you facts. >> if president obama was in

bed with vladimir putin the same way your president trump is, then maybe he would have to sanction 100 and plus people. since president obama won his election fair and square, then he doesn't have to sanction that many people. that is the fact. kayleigh. steve: opinions from both sides of the point of view whether or not it's treason, the main argument seems to be we are not at war with russia so it would not amount to that. >> no, it certainly wouldn't amount from that. that's a talking point from a leftist, that's what john brennan is wendy ignores the facts and tough actions of this president. >> i just responded to you. >> i gave you facts. you threw insults at this administration i respond with facts. i respond with the facts that president trump is the one who put export controls on russia. president trump is the one who closed the russian con lat. these are facts. can you look them up i gave you the dates. >> i gave you facts. we all watched what happened yesterday. the world watched what happened yesterday. you were talking about

and here he is. >> the democrats at this point are proudly ignorant and thoroughly anti-israel, so it makes sense. this poor girl, alexandria ocasio cortez is not making a great impression and it's a lasting one. she has a great line i don't know a lot about this i firmly believe frequently wrong but never in doubt. if cortez were smart she would have locked herself into the closet until november. the election was hers. awesome she is doing is hurting herself. brian: people can't get enough of her. good on camera. problem is she lacks substance. other problem is she a socialist. when told by the interviewer that, hey, you know, unemployment is at 4 hers. >> unemployment is at 4% because people have two jobs and they work 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their kids. steve: that was a winning conversation for the message. joe crowley says look, did i a terrible job. she will be the next member of congress from that

district. abby: wonder what he thinks watching that interview play out. brian: why does she think this is pervasive in america? people working 80 hours a week barely able to feed their kids at a time our economy has never been doing better. she also says she calls capitalism no holds barred wild hyper -- wild west. they called it hypercapitallism. she wants to end that. abby: 28 years old. highlights as you said, brian, a alaska substance. even though she has made the rounds. shocked how long it took for people to dig in to see she wasn't as deep as people thought she was. she will be in the hot seat. a number of other questions coming her way. steve: take the advice of your guest. abby: stay in the closet. steve: no more interviews between now and election day. 22 minutes before the top of the hour and jillian joins us now with more news. jillian: following a number of stories. get you caught up starting with. this police officers shoot through their windshield to try to stop murder suspect. just watch this video. intense chase is caught on

movement starting. important to reach out to people that are probably like i was years ago frustrated at the democratic party looking for a different way forward. honestly, yeah, it probably is more than politics. i found my faith later in life with my wife. i became pro-life as i saw the birth of my children and i saw innocent life thrown away in combat in iraq and afghanistan. those are serious differences with my parents. but that said, my wife and i never tried to split our family up. our goal is that we could stay together. we are blessed to have the love of our aunts, our uncles our cousins who are all deeply involved in our lives and our kids' lives. every way, shape and form helping us out. our focus here in writing this op-ed and the decision my wife and i made to write this to say to those of you out there looking at the democratic party that in no way, shape, or form that is doing anything to make our country more prosperous and secure and finding ways to lift them up and make them more successful and instead pushes a message of dependency there is a way forward. i'm not saying the republican party is perfect i will say i used to be a

democrat and today i'm a conservative because these policies work better. we have to plan for the future. we have to strategically invest in defense so that your kids are safe and they don't get in the same war that's got in when i was growing up. we can stop wars before they start. stop spending money so we're indebting future generations. can i do all of that as a conservative. abby: what your family has gone through i think speaks for so many families in this country where you fall on different sides of the political aisle and sometimes it's difficult to sit down at the dinner table and have real conversations about life because politics is the way that we all think. it's the way we think about the world. we think about family and life. what's the situation like with your family now? can you talk to your parents or did you decide that it's best that we separate ways? >> well, unfortunately my parents made the decision to break off contact with their larger extended family. not just my wife and my kids and i but also to their siblings and others. so it's a decision that they made and it's an unfortunate one because ultimately in my mind culture is upstream from politics the way we

treat each other and fabric of our society drives politics. we need to thinking about how we bind this country together. all of our rights given to us by god. our government is not allowed to infringe upon it and responsibility but also opportunity down to families. that's a sensible way to live and that's a way i would think we can all agree upon and find ways to go forward and be more successful. in my family, the situation is unfortunate. it's not a decision that my wife and i made. it was pressed upon us. but, the important thing is reaching out to people now and saying let's grow our republican party. let's pull people into conservatism and say ultimately this is about empowering you and making you more successful. that message resonates. brian: $2,700 goes to tammy baldwin from your parents not on speaking terms because you are a republican who is pro-life. they got to be proud of you, especially your years in the marines. kevin nicholson, best of luck. >> thank you all very much. look forward to talking to you more soon. abby: thanks for speaking out. good to have you on this

first three years for social brain development. >> human cost of sweden welfare state. you wrote, this right? women increasingly value or pressured to value career and professional achievement over family like sweden's americans have devalued parenting especially motherhood and are creating emotionally impoverished young people. strong words. explain what you mean there. >> well, the first three years are what we call the critical period of brain development for children. by the end of the first three years, 85% of a child's social-emotional brain is developed. and mothers are critical. mothers are primary caregivers are a critical part of that development. abby: i can tell you that. i have a 7 mold daughter my 7 md

daughter. it's so clear how important that role is to n. day-to-day life in the very early years of a child and being able to comfort them and teach them the things that are so important in the early days. matters. >> children under the age of 3 are very fragile in terms of stress, response to distress and to celebration from their primary caregiver and they use their mother or primary caregiver as their secure base. it's only being able to go back and forth and explore the world and touch base with that mother or primary caregiver that they develop that emotional security. by putting them into institutional day care and actually in sweden they promote the idea that institutional day care is better for children than parental care. abby: moving so far to the extreme where it's not even the mom, it's parenting. did you go to your job. the kid goes to day care and that is what you do day in and day out. >> right. it's nine hours a day in sweden after 13 months. you are taking 1-year-old children which are really really little children and really fragile children and

that what you want me to do? ♪ brian: surprised they didn't stick around longer, tears for fierce. pretty much one album and out. do they do other stuff. >> vladmir putin like putin everybody wants to rule the world. abby: one of those few songs never grow old. brian: this is one of them to me. this has gotten old. steve: until you hear it in the elevator done by 1000 strings. brian: our elevators have fox on all the time. steve: they do. abby: you mentioned vladmir putin. that is what everyone talking about. boy was yesterday a day. you had of course the one-on-one between the two leaders. they had a bihat ral meeting. they came out and spoke to the entire world. they had a press conference.

there was one particular exchange and a question directed at president trump asking about the meddling in the election, do you believe the intelligence community given you their own facts or do you believe the russians. here is how that went down. >> all i can do is ask the question. my people came to me, dan coats came to me and some others, they said they think it is russia. i have president putin, he just said it is not russia. i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be. steve: after that all hell broke loose because it looks like the president of the united states and throwing intel community and what a number of republicans and democrats all but conceded that the russians did meddle in the election in 2016. they're trying to do it again. of course the president of the united states. we've been talking about this last two hours, the president of the united states does not like the suggestion that he did not win fair and square. that the russians colluded or they meddled to have him win.

he has been very clear. there was no collusion. however collusion and meddling are two separate issues and unfortunately for the president because he is really taking the heat on this, he has maintained there was no collusion. but at the same time, he has also admitted that, yeah, there probably was meddling. it was probably russia. so why he said that yesterday, a lot of people are scratching their heads, what was that about. abby: meddling happened originally under barack obama, former president obama. the meddling happened before the 2016 election. it will happen far beyond where we are at this point in our country's history. this was a moment he had to talk directly to the world and to vladmir putin, whose main goal in life is to undermine our democracy. make it clear how serious this issue is, stand by the united states, stand by the intelligence community, all given him the facts and reports that they have all received on this. 12 russians have been indicted by the justice department

charged with meddling in our election. so it was a real missed opportunity. one where people felt he threw his own people under the bus. brian: matt schlapp said it is fair to criticize the president. he hadder ant answers. it is most serious mistake of his presidency. both have wives working for the president, and others like senator jeff flake or senator john mccain comes out against the president, nothing else is new. when byron york, general jack keane, when daniel hoffman have a problem with the answer, i think something the president has to address. steve: you mentioned byron york, he tweeted out ten minutes ago, trump, president trump, could concede the fact of russian interference, still argue, no

collusion and witch-hunt and save him a lot of trouble. byron writes. the president made it very clear last night with sean hannity the whole meddling issue is driving a wedge between the u.s. and russia. >> i think it's a shame. we're talking about nuclear proliferation. we're talking about syria and humanitarian aid. we're talking about all these different things and we get questions on the witch-hunt. very sad happening to our country because of this. we have never done better so many ways including economically, when you see this thing going on, i will tell you it has driven a wedge between us and russia. maybe we knocked down that wedge. brian: it is their fault there is a wedge. we didn't hack into their election. he got 90% of the vote because a lot of his opponents get killed or are afraid to step up. abby: we weren't behind closed doors in that meeting. i'm sure there was far more substance and focus on issue -- steve: north korea, syria,

trade. abby: iran most importantly not the headlines today. suck out all the oxygen in the room because you don't handle that question appropriately. there is reason why people are frustrated. the president has opportunity to correct this. point out seriousness when it comes to russia. rush limbaugh had his own take on meddling. >> russians were meddling in americans before i was born, folks. it isn't news. none of this has been necessary. media looked at this press conference the day they're going to nail trump. instead trump is turning tables on them. he is winning the democrats. he won this race, he did it himself. he outworked hillary clinton. worked harder than any candidate in recent memory. he doesn't want that taken away. he won that thing, he wants everybody to realize he won it. it wasn't stolen. brian: here is what you're saying. ernest wrote us, trump won, hillary loss. i care about the economy, world peace, my grandchildren, not

russia meddling. steve: brenda emailed us. everybody is sick about hearing about russia. when does it end. there was no collusion. let's move on. abby: i want to hear what the u.s. will do to stop meddling, what they will do to russia if they try it again. you can bet they will. brian: we wouldn't be talking about russia if he wasn't meeting with russia. we're not making up topic. they met. you who the president responds. i thought i had successful trip. controversial to some, but i thought very successful. he meets two hours one-on-one with world leader of impact. bilateral happens. right now this one statement is sticking out overall. he can put that to an end. if there is no meddling in the midterms, cooperations in multiple front, if they pull out of the ukraine, no one will remember it. abby: he has to be tough on russia. they have armed ukrainians. they have signing shunned over

700 russians and businesses. the list goes on. that needs to be talked about more. if you were watching, interview with chris wallace and vladmir putin, if you haven't seen it, you got to watch it, there were moments, must-watch moments, one particular he talks about meddling. here is how that went. >> translator: russia has a state has never interfered with the internal affairs of the united states, let alone its elections. >> sir, this is the indictment, i have 12 names here. >> translator: do you really believe that someone, acting from the russian territory could have influenced the united states and influenced the choice of millions of americans. >> i'm not asking if you influenced, i'm asking whether they tried. let me finish. they athese units were specifically involved in hacking into democratic party computers, stealing information and spreading it to the world to try to disrupt the american

election. may i give this to you to look at, sir? brian: i'll take that as a no. vladmir putin said, i have an idea. take these two people, if you want to send robert mueller's crew over to russia, we'll interrogate them and robert mueller's crew can watch. steve: that was suggestion that they should be extradited to the united states. the president, we don't know whether he not he brought that up behind closed doors. that did not come up in the press conference. nonetheless you listen to vladmir putin and his answers are completely different than anything we've ever thought about a lot of those things. he is a crazy spinmeister like i never seen before. abby: do you think he took papers home with him? brian: i'm sure he looking over. here is the thing. he answered similarly a couple years ago with oliver stone. you answered that nato is not a

problem, we're not a threat, then why did you enlist people to be part of nato. why do you influence the ukrainian elections and georgia elections. his point of view is contradictory from his point of view, he felt like they were closed in on. ukrainian election was nod meddling. i don't want the russians to pickthe leader. when they rose up in the streets it wasn't because of us, that was zero degrees. they were rallying for freedom. not because of us. abby: why do people that disagree with you, and journnanists wind up dead? answer that question. brian: they killed bill browder's lawyer. abby: jillian with other headlines. jillian: get you caught up on this breaking news starting with a fox news alert. isis blamed for a suicide bombing that killed 20 people in northern afghanistan. the explosion happening at a mosque during a funeral.

of the media in this should stick to pointing out the obvious, that donald trump missed an opportunity to speak truth to power and stand up to one of the world's biggest powers, put america's interests first. we can all agree this was a big failure on donald trump's part. when cable news media outlets give airtime to tinfoil hat conspiracists that trump was committing high treason meeting with vladmir putin, i think that discredits their point. i think they should stick to pointing out the obvious. when they go extreme, it makes people say i will not listen to you. steve: sure. after robert mueller indicted those 12 russians last week clearly the press was waiting for the answer. when it came who do you believe, your own intel community that says there was meddling or the russians, president trump, all he had to say, was mr. putin says he didn't meddle but i don't believe him. >> yeah. you know what? trump's brand is to be a guy, a

tough guy says it like it is and speaks truth to power and isn't afraid to criticize and punch back at world leaders who lead other countries with conflicting interests with ours in order to put america first, right? that is kind of his whole schtick. i think a lot of his supporters are pretty disappointed at his performance yesterday. here is a guy they voted for expecting him to stand up to one of the world's biggest bullies and he didn't do that. but i would also like to point out to something which isn't getting a whole lot of attention, putin saying himself during that presser, president trump brought up the 12 russian agents to him in that meeting. so donald trump did talk about it. he did ask putin to extradite the 12 individuals. i think that speaks to the larger problem of the media coverage, which is that we didn't really hear anything about the meeting itself. we don't know if sanctions were talked about. steve: sure. >> we don't know if there were concessions on russia's part in terms of crime crime, results on

that front. all the attention is focused on this other thing. i agree we should criticize it, call him out for failing to stand up to him, but i do think in 10 years, if donald trump's strategy does prove to be successful we'll not talk about his blunder at presser. steve: everybody is talking about it today, because the day after. thanks for joining us live from d.c. >> thank you. steve: 8:20 in new york city. former fbi lawyer lisa page grilled on the hill. she is completely discrediting her ex-lover peter strzok's testimony apparently. judge jeanine pirro is here live straight ahead. comedian saw shaw barren cohen is fooling several lawmakers, our next guest is one of the few who didn't fall victim to it. >> you want me to say on television that i support 3 and 4-year-olds on firearms? >> yes. >> specifically members of congress don't hear a story about a program and don't indicate whether they support it or not.

interview. it really wasn't until months later that i obtained the realization that was sacha baron cohen. i wish i would have known with him real time, i would have traded borat impressions. abby: you knew about borat but didn't get that in the moment. >> that is how good he is. good acting by sacha baron cohen. they catch congress members at end of the day. they got my colleagues to say things they likely regret. brian: trent lott and larry pratt, gun guy. he is how the to embarass you. i think he mildly embarrassed bernie sanders as well. weigh in on what is going on right now. do you like for the president to clarify his comments today? >> i look forethe president to illuminate further progress made in the closed-door session. president trump indicated

non-proliferation was the objective for the summit. if we make progpress in north korea, iran and obtain some sense of normally is in syria so people can return home. those are the things impact quality of life. back home we're doing a lot of work on election resiliency doesn't get coverage in the media with the homeland security committee and our state and local officials and look, i think the president was right to bring up the issue of election meddling with vladmir putin. i believed the intelligence community is correct that russia engages in malign influence campaign all over the world. going forward build on successes of this summit, particularly in the areas of non-proliferation and anti-terrorism. abby: congressman gaetz. good having you on. no fooling you. >> thank you. brian: abby is the real deal. new darling of the democratic party dug herself a hole by her comments on israel or occupy palestine. >> you used the term, the occupation of palestine? >> i think what i meant is like

i assume, you look at deception, the lies, these are people that in my opinion are truly, they're bad people. and they're being exposed for what they are. steve: the president mentioned the lies. joining us right now the author of a brand new book, called, liars, leakers and liberals. you know her as judge jeanine pirro. she joins us live. the book comes out today. congratulations. >> thank you. brian: that she will be on tucker later. >> yes indeed. what do you make of mr. john brennan, former cia top guy, who said that president trump given what he said yesterday in helsinki is guilty of treason? >> you know, i have to tell you, i talk about this in my book, "liars, leakers and liberals." john brennan is the epitome of the swamp. for this guy to talk about treason as it relates to donald trump is absurd. he voted for communist for president of the united states. i mean don't people understand that?

he is the one who peddled the dossier. he is the one who knew that hillary clinton paid for a fake dossier. then went all over washington and started the investigation against donald trump. you think he is biased? brian: here is his tweet. let's show it. says donald trump's press conference, performance in helsinki rises to exceeds threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors. nothing short of treasonous. not only were trump's comments imbellica and he is wholly in the pocket of putin. republican patriots, where are you? >> he doesn't understand the definition of treason. treason is when you try to overthrow government, kill leader in times of war, okay? now what the president was doing by going over there is recognizing that russia is biggest nuclear power, russia and united states. he has to make sure that we are safe. he has got some of the most severe economic sake shuns. come on, snap out of it,

forever. this is nothing new. there was meddling. did it change the election? no. did it get trump elected? no. did it change one vote? no. everybody need to snap out the it, did it happen? let's make sure it different happen again. the dnc why were they able to hack them? because they didn't have security and protections rnc had. dnc didn't want to hand over computers the fbi because they had too much to hide in terms of this. steve: on capitol hill committees are looking to the origin when the federal government spied on trump campaign. doj and fbi on the hot seat. we learned about that woman in the white dress, lisa page, one of the two fbi lovebirds. she was on capitol hill behind closed doors yesterday, judge, essentially from lawmakers spoken to the press, she apparently was more truthful they felt than peter strzok who testified last thursday. >> do you think there is anything that peter strzok said

was truthful? i saw him as epitomy of the deep state, the swamp, arrogant, con today sending, defiant, unapologetic. when they were trying to find out, here is the key issue, did the investigation of donald trump start before it started? he said he couldn't answer because the fbi told him he couldn't answer. when think said he could, he said i don't remember. i don't know why her testimony is out this open. american people need to see this, we need to end it and need to move on. brian: talk about your book. >> thank you. brian: we know it has been in the news. what made you think you had to go deeper into this and expand on this? >> i have spent my life, you know, on the battlefields where the fight between good and evil unfolds, prosecutor, judge, d.a. i hate it when people lie, i always have. this book is about, not just what we know and what you know but the sad part about it is the fact we're used to politicians trying to corrupt this system.

we are not as americans accustomed to people in the fbi, people in the justice department, trying to corrupt the justice department and disenfranchise americans. i think it is a very dark day in american history, dark period, in terms of the republicans and democrats together, trying to destroy donald trump. it is not about parties. it is about the establishment, the swamp, and the out outsider populists, american people. steve: you say anti-trump conspiracy, you say something that is very real? >> it is very real. i can prove the case with no problem. i go through it in the book. you have fact upon fact. i was a prosecutor. you put your evidence where your allegations r that is what i do on justice every weekend. i have an opinion. i back it up with facts. this book is analysis what happened. it is path -- factual, it is about the fact that the left has been able to lie, to leake and

steve: president trump back to work in washington, d.c., following the summit with president vladmir putin in hello sippingky. brian: he is meeting with white house republicans to discuss tax reform 2.0. abby: fox business's kristina

partsineveloss joins us in washington with all of the details. good morning. >> good morning. a few republicans will meet this afternoon 2:00 p.m. eastern time. they will be discussing tax reform 2.0. what does that mean? the first set of tax cuts happened about a year ago. we saw the corporate tax rate go from 35 to 21% but i want to hone in on the individual tax rates or tax cuts that helped a lot of americans. more specifically, if you made let's say anywhere between 38,000 to about 82,000, you saw your tax rate drop from 25 to 22%. what angered some of our viewers, i've seen this before online, the fact that those that made half a million dollars, if you made $500,000 or more, you also saw your tax rate drop from about 39.6% to 37%. the problem though the individual tax cuts are set to expire 2025.

president trump weighed in. >> we'll do it probably in october, maybe a little sooner than that it will be more of a middle class. we did a lot for the middle class. this is more aimed to the middle class. we're talking about bringing 21% down to 20. for most part the rest of it would go back to the middle class. >> what are we specifically expecting this afternoon, going forward. possible extension of the individual tax cuts. possibly universal savings account. more specifically helping smaller employers provide savings plans for employees. also offering annuities to turn worker savings into guaranteed annual income. the problem that is going to be debated quite a bit these tax cuts cost a lot of money. they cost over a trillion dollars. they added to the deficit. and so that is something that will be very difficult to pass through but republicans want the issue to run before the midterms. steve: absolutely. they can run, win on that they think. kristina, thank you for the live
