[cheers] ♪ steve: welcome to this july 25th, 2018; ainsley: welcome back. brian: hey, thank you. i'm glad to be back. my daughter was in colorado for these national soccer championships. steve: because she is a star. brian: the team lost three round one games so therefore i'm back and so is she. ainsley: what year is she in

school? what grade? brian: she is going into tenth grade. steve: congratulations to get that far quite an achievement. brian: certainly a long plane ride. nothing has slowed down especially around 6:00 last night. by the way there is going to be a tape released about donald trump and his maligned attorney michael cohen. steve: brian, it sounds like you are watching cnn again. a secret recording between president trump and his former attorney michael cohen has now been revealed. ainsley: in that tape which was leaked by cohen's lawyer to cnn the pair discussed purchasing the rights to a story about an alleged affair with a ploy boy model. brian: we covered this last night on our channel and griff jenkins has the rest in washington on how the president's team is responding, griff. >> good morning, guys. welcome back, brian. this is a recording from just before the election in september of 2016 between then candidate trump and his personal attorney michael cohen. now here you are going to hear the two men reportedly discussing buying the rights

to the story of an alleged affair mr. trump had years earlier with boy ploy model karen macdougall. cohen is speaking first then trump. listen. >> cohen's attorney lanny davis gave the tape to cnn and did not provide a copy to fox news to verify the tapes. authenticity and as you just heard it's a bit unmuddled and unclear if the president is saying if they should or should not pay with cash. rudy giuliani slammed the release of this tape and sought to explain what we were hearing with laura ingraham last night. >> outrageous that someone would tape his client. president trump says, quote: don't pay with cash, cohen then interrupts and says no, no, no. i got it and then you hear distinctly, if you're careful and you slow it down, check. and then cohen follows with no, no, no. and then quickly cuts off the tape. i know how to listen to

them. i know how to tribe them. this tape is crystal clear when you listen to it. >> giuliani has maintained that no money was ever paid. meanwhile cohen's attorney davis says his client has been repeatedly attacked by giuliani and that the truth is on his client's side. >> my client has been disparaged over and over again by mr. giuliani with misinformation and misstatements. there has been a campaign out of the white house to disparage mr. cohen. why is that? chris, bowers he has got truth on his side. >> and a lawyer for the trump organization, guys, also denied that mr. trump was offering to pay cash saying there was no such transaction. the white house has not commented and frequently does not referring to outside counsel. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: all right, griff, thank you very much. this is the tape that the president lashed out on twitter about i think on saturday where he said it was probably illegal what mr. cohen had done. big question is and i heard

somebody on the television last night say that mr. cohen could be in trouble if the president was on the phone in, for instance, florida. two party state because both parties had to know that he was being taped. new york not a problem. nonetheless it, does raise the question why was mr. cohen taping his client? ainsley: whatever you tell your attorney is supposed to be protected, right? most of the time. i thought all the time it was. i'm learning maybe that's not the case u maybe you can get special circumstances that tapes can be released. yeah. why is he recording it why was it released. steve: rudy did allow it to be released. brian: say nothing to make him look back. if you don't have to have this released, why would you release it? there are 11 more tapes, we understand. michael cohen, is he going to flip on the president? is there anything to flip on? are they going to look to unwind every business transaction he has done that michael cohen may or may not know about? and just to think that you have a situation where you

talk to an attorney who is supposed to be your friend how are paying and if he is in donald trump's office, which it sounds to me like he is, because i don't think donald trump does a lot of visiting at michael cohen office and you hear the whole tape and hear him covering the bunch of things until it gets to michael cohen. ainsley, you are paying somebody to represent you and no matter whether it's a traffic violation. ainsley: thinking it's your friend. brian: feels he has to tape you. i wonder the way it cuts off abruptly i wonder if they have the rest and waiting so he see what the trump side does next. ainsley: i will release this, if you let me off on other hinges. brian: i don't know who michael cohen is talking to. communicating with the southern district of new york. ainsley: they were confiscated. steve: 12 tapes. president only heard on one. when you look at all of it and discussing things that are unseemly here's the

thing alan dershowitz says they're not talking about anything illegal. >> big picture is, a, there is nothing on the tape that suggests any kind of crime. b, what is strongly suggested by the prior interview by lanny davis is that he has, cohen has made his decision, is he going to cooperate with the prosecutors. he's going to flip. he's going to try to get imcommunity and he is going to testify against donald trump. whether he has anything to say that's incriminating is a real question. and whether even if he does, he is allowed to say it because, remember, giuliani didn't weav wave other privileges, just that tape. even if he says something incriminating, he can't reveal it unless it's a violation of the lawyer client privilege or waived if it's lawyer client privilege material. britain brian lanny davis is best friends with hillary clinton. took the loss harder than anyone else. relishingings that he can take

a shot. he is making cohen seem like mother teresa. it's just the beginning of, i guess, lanny davis' attempt to pay back hillary clinton or try to pay back donald trump for beating hillary clinton. ainsley: they are discussing for transferring money for information friend david cohen, david pecker who owns the national enquirer. steve: presumably. ainsley: karen macdougall will give them the story of their alleged affair and paid her $150,000 allegedly and never ran the story. she counter sued and said i was duped, i was tricked. you never ran the story and now she wants to be able to tell her story. steve: a lot of details and dots still need to be connected. nonetheless a big story people are talking about. take a look in the rear view mirror yesterday. the president was out in kansas city at the vfw convention, an annual get together. one of the things he talked a little bit about was the fact that so many vets now

work for ice. and ice is getting absolutely pummeled by a number of democrats who want to get rid of it and the president said this about the men and women who wear the ice uniform. >> we're fighting every day to secure our borders. and we're doing a great job. but, we're not given the tools. we have the worse laws in any country. thank goodness for ice. because, we have some of the worst drug dealers, terrorists, criminals. >> ice is tough and smart and they track them down and they stop tremendous amounts of crime. >> but democratic politicians want to abolish ice. they want to see open borders. can you imagine? >> they've launched vicious smears on the brave men and women who defend our community. brian: it's just ridiculous. among those people it's not just hypothetical senator gillibrand wants to do it. every time you give her a

microphone she screams into it senator warren who is the frontrunner now, many people think, to the next democratic nominee. mark poo can was the one who introduced this the democratic congressman from the house on thousand abolish ice. also happening overnight this is an embarrassment from portland is kicking ice out. if you don't pack up and leave we are kicking you out. can you believe that. steve: the protesters. a lot going on we will fill you in on that. ainsley: the president talked about the veterans as you mentioned and he brought this 94-year-old veteran up on stage. he had a few requests for the president. he wanted an autograph [inaudible] ainsley: i love this story. jillian: wait, hold on. ainsley: we will get to the headlines. jillian: i promise that's a little tease. let's get to a fox news alert now though. two american isis suspects captured in syria will now face charges in the u.s. a michigan man is due in court today.

brian: fisa documents now revealing how partisan officials mislead fisa court judges some would perceive after reading. this "wall street journal" op-ed says the fisa court should just be abolished. bill mcgurn wrote it we brought him here. here is a little of what he said. should consider getting rid of the fisa court because without judges to hide behind, executive officials would have to order spying and on their own fellow citizens will have to own

those decisions themselves. you read redactions and all. >> actually, in fairness, this isn't my original argument. robert bourque made this argument in the "wall street journal" 40 years ago right before fisa was signed into law. he predicted these kind of abuses. basically, judges have no business being in a fisa decision it's not like a criminal warrant. they are trying to find service. and when you do it, what he predicts is you will see abuse because either the judges will unnecessarily defer to the intelligence agencies because they have superior technical knowledge or they will insert their own views and opinions. it's just a very bad thing. if you look at this application, i think it's pretty flimsy. but, no one is going to have any consequences for because it has the names of judges on it that's the counter argument. four judges signed off on it this.

brian: republican appointed. these judges can only get what they have been handed. though have no counters argue: there is no push back. as devin nunes said with sean hannity. you think this is fact. what about the other side. how conflicted bruce ohr was working for simpson. >> i think it's hard to make sense of the claims and counterclaims it is interesting. devin nunes has come under withering assault. i think he has done excellent work. he wants to declassify the redacted parts. it's interesting who wants to keep this stuff hidden. brian: who is? and that is the people that did the investigating and did the presenting. they should be proud. >> adam schiff, all these people. we should be pushing, look, one thing i don't understand is why donald trump doesn't just declassify all of it so we can see for ourselves what happened. it would be a lot better than going after security clearances. let's see what these people are up to in 2016. brian: application put together didn't you list that this person might have

had an ax to grind against donald trump? yeah. but how is it emphasized? how is it presented? page 14 you bring up this person who did this thing might have something against candidate number one donald trump and it was christopher steele. >> right. i think that when you are getting information about this, and the same way in a criminal investigation if you are ininvestigating the mob, the kind of people that are going to give you information are probably not boy scouts. they are probably criminals themselves. the same holds in foreign intelligence. you will get some dubious sources. what the fbi didn't do is say ten assertions in the steele dossier. what they should have done is checked them out. brian told us x. we went out and checked x and we verified it they didn't do it. what they said is we worked with brian before and we liked him. brian: that's it. >> spying on an american citizen should be a big deal. >> so ben court, read "wall street journal," bill mcgurn, thanks so much. >> thanks, brian.

people a day overdose in this country and we spend $80 billion a year in terms of healthcare costs and loss of productivity. so, this should raise awareness in our country about a horrible, horrible public health emergency. and there is treatment in the form of drugs like methadone and norphine which have been shown to cut the risk of death in half and the risk of overdose there is a lot of ignorance in the community and people don't understand the difference between addiction and dependence. so, you know, we need to start looking at the way we are treating people and mobilize all our resources. ainsley: at first we thought this was a heroin overdose. then there was a statement from her family saying you know, everything that's being reported is not necessarily true. then we are hearing from friends that were there saying it wasn't heroin. but we do know that narcan was used. would narcan be used for another drug or different type of overdose? >> you know, a lot of times narcan will be used during

an overdose when pair medicine dings, for example, don't know what the drug is because you can't hurt someone by giving them narcan. if they did overdose on opioids that is a way to reverse them. seems strange it's not heroin or other opioid but again we don't know for sure. ainsley: are you seeing a lot of individuals in her age in their 20's using heroin? >> you know, i see this every day in my office. i see it every day in the hospital. this is an illness that effects people regardless of their status. it doesn't matter how are. we are seeing it in our communities and it's affecting us every day. so i see this all the time. ainsley: what do you tell parents that have kids that are dealing with this? >> well, that they have to get treatment. very often this requires residential treatment in a controlled setting. and it can be very costly and very expensive. and this is why i call upon the white house and president trump to do everything they can to stem the tide of this epidemic.

ainsley: what are the chances people can be clean if they do have an addiction if it has a hold on them? >> one of the greatest myths about addiction is that it can't be treated. you know, addiction is not treated the same way, for example, or thought of as the same way as heart disease or diabetes. you know, if someone tells you that you have -- someone tells you that they have an addiction, we tend to look at them in a strange way. so, we need to erase the stigma of addiction. but the rate of treatment and relapse or remission is similar to things like diabetes and asthma. so, we can treat addiction the same way we treat any other medical illness. we just have to be willing to look at people with compassion and not judge them. ainsley: i agree. dr. bobbier, thanks for being with us. saving lives. ainsley: safe spaces and crying closets. >> some schools are doing everything they can to create a generation of sanctimonious, sensitive, supercilious snowflakes.

[cheers] steve: there you have got the attorney general of the united states yesterday describing life on america's campuses. he was at turning point

u.s.a. high school leadership conference. let's bring in fox news contributor tomi lahren joins us from the west coast. tomi, what do you make of the attorney general's comments regarding sanctimonious snowflakes on america's campuses? >> well, he is right on the money. i think folks that have watched me know exactly how i feel about snowflakes. this is a bigger epidemic going on on our college campuses. now our high school campuses and all the way down to elementary school. it's not just that kids go to college and they are surrounded by liberal classmates and liberal professors. i think the real problem here is that conservative and independent students go to college and forget how to stand up for themselves. i think that's the real problem. they have safe spaces for liberal ideas but conservative ideas they don't even get a platform with which to speak. i think that's the real issue we have on our hands. typically typically he was calling out a number of schools including middle berry college at vermont and berkeley saying they have tried to see you lens conservative speakers. a report that the top 45

colleges no conservative was invited to give the commencement speech. is this going to back fire or you know, what are your thoughts about that? is this going to hurt the democrats and some of the liberal campuses in the long run? >> i think it will. as people get smarter and they understand that our free speech zone is the united states of america at large and not the zones that college arbitrarily put in place. beyond that when we're looking at college campuses, i think it's important to understand that truth has become the new hate speech. it's not just college campuses but also in the media. it's important for conservative speakers, independent speakers, libertarian speakers to show up on college campuses and not be allow themselves to be bull idea, harassed and turned away. we're just going to have to be little bit louder have. to utilize social media and we're going to have to make it more of an issue. otherwise, college campuses are just going to be the bagbastions of liberal.

steve: got to get invited first. brian: we will talk to two people about that very issue including zac wood who was just on this couch. said i was on college went out of the way invite conservatives. got big push back. the president of the united states took an aggressive tone against the iranian leaders after they tried to call out america and threatened us with war. we used to look the other way. not under this president. you say it shows the apology tour is over? >> well, absolutely. isn't it nice to finally have a president that leads from a position of strength? and for all those that are outraged by this, same folks upset just last week because the president tried to establish diplomatic relations with russia now outraged that he was too mean to iranian leaders. so you can see the double standard at play there. but, i believe that this president, being tough on world leaders is exactly what has worked. we saw it work in north korea. and i think as soon as liberals understand that we didn't elect this president to be nice, we elected him to get things done and he

has, maybe they will understand the strategy and they will get on board. steve: well, it is a kind of strategy it does appear the tough talk because the president yesterday in kansas city at the vfw convention, tomi, said that iran no longer the same country it was a while ago. is he ready to make a deal. he said not like that last deal made by the last administration. but this administration is ready to make a deal when they're. >> well, it really wasn't much of a deal. it was a concessions list. this president is not going to do that again. this president comes to the table as i said from a position of strength. unlike the last administration who towered in the corner. that's how we get results. we are seeing it time and time again. i think it really drives the liberals crazy how effective this president is because is he unconventional. yes, he uses twitter diplomacy guess what, it works. as long as it's working and bringing peace back b. in the world, they should be happy with it but i'm not going to hold my breath on that one. steve: good luck. ainsley: thanks, tomi, great to see you. hand it over to jillian who

and 90%. that's not a math problem. the democrats were lying. they weren't off by a little bit. steve: don't you think people know that by now. we have another graphic to show folks. typical household, $26,000 over 10 years a family of four get to keep close to $45,000 more of their money, which ultimately we all want to do. we want to give washington less of it and keep more in our own pocket. as we go to the mid terms. the democrats' message is we want to take that back from you. i don't know if that's a politically wise thing to say out loud. >> it's not. there is something interesting. some polls suggest that the number of americans are unaware that they're keeping more money. one of the reasons for that is 83% of americans have direct deposit. they never look at their paycheck. because their pay goes straight to the bank. and it's nice, you don't have to go to the bank and drop off your paycheck and cash it every two weeks.

but, it pays to go take a look at your bank account and we saw in may an increase in consumer spending. we think the economists think because people looked at their bank account and said i have more money than i thought i did and they have made different decisions. people are noticing the higher pay but it took longer than you would expect because of direct deposit. steve: i think a lot of people up on capitol hill think that america hangs on their every word. they know what everybody is doing in washington. that is not the case. but, grover, looking forward, you know, they are now talking about tax cuts 2.0. >> yes. >> steve: where they would make these permanent. it sounds like this vote for it will be taken before the november elections. so, not a single democrat voted for it before, but this will be their opportunity to say, look, i'm allowing the middle class to keep more of their money, right now it sounds like all the democrats are going to vote no again. >> yes. that's almost certainly what's going to happen.

the 2 pulp 0 does a couple things. it reminds the american people that the republicans in the house, the senate, president trump have all made it clear. we are going to have a tax cut every year. a tax cut every year. not tax reform and then 30 years from now another tax reform. every single year it will be calling down the tax burden on the american people. and this tells you, it may not pass this year because the democrats will filibuster in the senate. almost certainly. but this is what we're going to do next year if you elect a republican house and senate. and it puts taxes front and center of the election. and those numbers you had, you know, $26,000 over 10 years, it becomes more difficult for nancy pelosi to explain that that's a crumb. steve: no kidding. you put all those crumbs together, you wind up with a lot of dough, just saying. >> she can buy a lot of shoes the way she spends money personally. steve: he is from american tax reform.

and i think this behavior is really reflective of the last 8 years, which shows a complete lack of respect for our country. for our leaders. and i'm running for governor because i think we need a wholesale change in connecticut. we need leaders that are going to respect our president. respect our flag, respect our constitution. brian: right. here's what she said in her letter it's lengthy it starts off dear mercury need to send a message by kneeling that none of this is okay and all of this sun patriot as it can get and the an tis sis of what america stands for as long as donald j. trump is president the united states i will kneel. a democrat becomes president all republicans should kneel? where does it stop? >> when barack obama was president, i didn't vote for him. i wasn't happy about it, but i respected the office of the president. and i think people need to respect the office of president and start respecting the fact that we have a president and this

behavior is going to continue unless and until we have leaders that call it out for what it is. ainsley: the president's approval rating the highest it has ever been. out of the last four administration this is the highest approval rating other than president bush after 9/11. how do your constituents feel? >> i think in connecticut, which is a blue state, what you are see something that the president has a higher job approval rating than the incumbent democrat governor who is 15 points below where the president's job approval rating is i think says a lot about what's going none connecticut. i that i people are beginning to recognize the difference in leadership. brian: real quick, if you are going to be successful you have to convince independents to vote for you. what message is going to resonate? >> i think fiscal reform in the state of connecticut, reducing taxes. dealing with unfunded crushing pension liabilities that are really killing our state. i think a strong fiscal message is what is going to work in connecticut. ainsley: very high in connecticut i have friends who live there.

about it, when it comes time for the financing which will be. >> [inaudible] >> zeal to pay. > -->> lanny davis did not provide a copy to fox news to verify authenticity. rudy giuliani did provide this transcript of the recording looking at. confirming the tape's existence. giuliani maintain no, sir money was ever paid and the suggestion plaintiff trump paying cash is ridiculous. giuliani slamming the release of the tape. >> the major points is it's outrageous that someone would tape his client. president trump says, quote: don't pay with cash. cohen then interrupts and says no, no, no. i got it. and then you hear distinctly if you're careful, and you slow it down, check. and then cohen followed with no, no, no. and then quickly cuts off the tape. >> meanwhile cohen's

attorney davis says the truth is on his client's side. >> my client has been disparaged over and over again by mr. giuliani with misinformation and misstatements. there has been a campaign out of the white house to disparage mr. cohen and why is that? chris, because he has got truth on his side. >> now, a lawyer for the trump administration also denied that offering to pay the cash was never made is not true. arguing there was simply no transaction. the white house is not commenting, steve, ainsley? steve: grinks thanks so much. let's bring in alan dershowitz law professor author of great bookcase against impeaching trump. he joins us live from march that's vineyard. professor, you know, people hearing this exchange that was recorded secretly by mr. cohen and they are going i don't know exactly what's going on. you've heard it. is anything illegal? have any crimes been committed in what we have

heard so far? >> not even a close question. there is no crime. this was a conversation between a lawyer and a client that should never have been heard. even if -- even if and the tape is unclear, trump raised the word cash, there then a discussion the lawyer said no, no, no. and president trump said no, we will do it by check. lawyers and clients have those conversations all the time. i have had conversations like that with clients. the end result is cash was not used. no payments were made. the context of the tape all suggests that the president wanted it to be papered. they wanted it to be corporation, not just a payment. wanted to make sure it was done right. make sure it was done with records. so i think the big picture is no crime. it sounds like cohen is not as loyal to the president as he once was. it also suggests that this conversation never should have been heard by any of us. and cohen should not have

recorded a conversation. you trust your lawyer to have a discreet conversation so you can lay out all the possibilities and then decide what to do. the end result is no payments were made, no cash was given. and so this is a big deal about nothing. ainsley: how does an attorney get away with this then? what happened to attorney-client privilege. are you allowed to just tell everyone what your client told new confidence? isn't that illegal or do you lose your license? what's the consequence for that. >> if in fact this material was originally leaked by cohen, when it was still privileged, remember, a judicial officer found it to be privileged, it then was leaked only after it was leaked did giuliani wave the privilege as to this in order to protect the privilege as to any other possible conversations. if cohen is the source of the leak, he has a serious problem. but we don't know who the source of the leak is that's one of the things i think we have to get to the bottom of

it. brian: allen, i was under the belief and i think you were too last night that rudy giuliani could have stopped it and didn't. >> well, he obviously had a tactical decision to go the way he went. that is to wave the privilege. he could have taken a different tact. did he say this is outrageous and he sort of hearing to determine who leaked it and to have it suppressed. but he didn't take that because he believes that the tape exculpatory and helps trump. i think reasonable people can disagree about that and never know what the words are until we have a forensic analysis. the other key thing is that the tape ends abruptly. which means that cohen either erased or he didn't want anybody to hear afterwards or he cut it off abruptly. that he didn't want anybody to hear it. forensic expert can determine why it was cut off so abruptly and give us a

better chance of what the words are from both sides. steve: here are the words the president's legal team has just put out their transcript, and it reads like this. michael cohen says and i spoke to allen about it when it comes time for the financing, which will be and then donald trump says wait a sec. what financing? and michael cohen says well, i have to pay him something and donald trump says don't pay with cash, dot dot dot, check. michael cohen talks over the president now president and says no, no, no, no, no. >> let me be very clear, first of all, i'm not the 58 alan. it's a different alan they are talking about. number two it remains to be seen. i had a case like this years ago where the issue was s. whether the cops say it's done on wiretaps or not done on wiretaps. the court of appeals listened to the tape about 20 times. finally ruled in my favor. this is an issue for forensics. i think whatever was said

the context only suggests the president wanted it to be done through a corporate structure. corporations don't send cash. corporations send texts or wire. the context supports the president's view, regardless of what the words themselves say. this the end, this was the conversation and in the end the lawyer decided to do the way the lawyer wanted to do it. it there is no crime or impeachable offense here. if you read my book, you will see you can't impeach a president just because you don't like the conversation he may have had with his lawyer. brian: right and candidate trump and businessman trump. whatever you thought before. he isn't president trump. michael avenatti came in and said mr. davis is a good lawyer but his client cohen is not innocent. is he a co-expirt, thug who refuses to come clean and do the right thing. they are aiming for a pardon. where is the rest of the tapes. answer to that lanny says more tapes to come. real quick on avenatti's

comments? >> he is representing a client and people will have to judge whether he is doing a good job or not. but, you know, one has to know whether he was the source of the leak as well. because he claimed to have known that there were 12 tapes before that fact was known publicly. so he has some questions to ena. look, i don't want to get into a personal thing with avenatti because he is not a central character in this. the central lawyers now are rudy giuliani and lanny davis. both excellent lawyers with long experience and long histories and both of them have strategic decisions that they have made. and i'm not the judge strategic decision. we don't know all the facts. first step is forensic analysis. the second is context. but i think it's clear no crimes were committed on this particular -- brian: if you have alan dershowitz. plaques. look behind him.

>> in what could be a step

in full anything a commitment made by kim jong un to president trump six weeks ago at their historic summit, new satellite images appear to show north korea dismantling its main missile testing site. so, is this a true sign of progress on denuking the country? here to weigh in fox news national security strat gist and former deputy assistant to the president dr. sebastian gorka. sebastian, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: what do you make of the fact that it looks like they are pulling the plug on that facility? >> if the reports are true if the satellite images aren't being interpreted correctly, it's very significant these actions apparently occurred in the last two weeks. this is post the singapore summit. this has to be a tangible decision by kim. the bureau. the you were echelons of the north korean regime which would be part of the concrete follow-up to that meeting with the president. i think, you know, one of the biggest things that has

happened since singapore is the cancellation of the annual anti-american parade by pyongyang because that's a very public thing. the people have expectations for that ideology laden event. the government publicly stopped it they suspended that parade. this is the brass tax. this is the real deal when it comes to north korea's capability to launch ballistic missiles. steve: i would imagine the president of the united states is frustrated that the pace of the denuking is so slow. and so that's why yesterday when the news was maybe they are pulling the plug on that site maybe this is a good faith effort on their part to show they are doing something. >> yeah. i have used phrase often with regards to the president and his team that he moves at the speed of trump. he does things with an the speed that we're just not used to here in the swamp. you look at the last year and a half. the things that he has achieved in just a year and

a half most presidents would be happy with. after 8 years in office. but, yes, i think as a businessman, who is results oriented, is he probably a little frustrated. but, in terms of international deals, on arms control, this is pretty fast, actually, steve. steve: what do you make of the president yesterday in kansas city at the vfw convention when talking about iran now, he said, you know, that country is nothing noe longer what it used to be. now we are ready to make a deal. not like the last deal the last administration did but a real deal. what's he saying there? are we getting closer? did that twitter tirade actually work first coming from the iranians and then going back toward the president? >> i have always said that's how you talk to dictatorships. dictator toreships don't talk about nice protocol language and fancy meetings in geneva or vienna. you hit them hard and talk straight to them. i think the president was signaling in his great speech yesterday, he

understands how fragile this regime is. the louder they bark, the weaker they are. you look at the demonstrations, the demonstrations in iran now, unlike 2009, when we had the revolution. they are not just centered around tehran. they are all around the country. iran is in trouble and the president knows it and maybe this is the time to squeeze them. steve: all right. let's see what happens. dr. sebastian gorka joins us from our d.c. bureau. sebastian, thank you. >> you bet. thank you. steve: coming up a police officer runs towards a moving train to save somebody's life. >> hey, move. stop the train. stop the train. move. move.

12-tape extravaganza. >> if you look at the media they are making about noise, pay him cash or not pay him cash, alan dershowitz, no matter what happened here if it was cash or wasn't cash, it's not criminal. steve: the tape was leaked from davis, his side to cnn and ultimately revealed sounds like rudy giuliani said go ahead and release it because we had speculation, there's no there there, no crime committed and so he thought that it would help exonerate the president. more on this a little later, let's talk with mike pompeo, we know what he will be doing at 3:00 o'clock this afternoon. ainsley: testifying about the 3-hour meeting with putin and talk about the status of the talks with north korea and what our next move is. brian: i love when people think it's going to be bad, mike pompeo has the answers an then

feel as though it's a negative situation for the president who is being very tough on -- at the border, 995, excuse me, 719 minutes on north korea. so 3 big issues but you have to wonder in the big picture how if this country is 50-50, let's say 40-40 with 20 in the middle, how could you possibly have 92% negative coverage on anything and even pretend to be giving both sides? steve: the extraordinary thing while the media is 92% negative, approval has never been higher than has been. brian: the president wants to be successful in midterms is get the independents back, he lost 8 points with independents. ainsley: you have the networks in new york, we watch award

that means the speaker must call it up for the floor within 48 hours, filed before the calendar date runs out but you can do that and they can force a vote. often times if leadership doesn't like it they'll put a motion to table it, but i think they'll let i a number of members of congress, you look at the information revealed last week, rod rosenstein signed off on fisa application and he should recuse himself. >> jeff sessions he recues himself from pretty much everything and rod rosenstein takes the helm and that's why he takes control, if you look at the fisa application, his name is on it, how can rod rosenstein oversee investigation of which he's got an autograph on a piece of paper which is under investigation. ainsley: if he rescued himself from the investigation, jeff sessions has rescued, rosenstein, if he recues, who is

>> love the united states of america. ainsley: why do you love the united states of america? >> because i was born in this country and my father served in world war i and we were taught patriotism early in life and because of the opportunities to serve my country and keep democracy as it is. >> there you go. your father served in world war i and you world war ii. allen jones. ainsley: god bless you sergeant, thank you so much. >> okay, my pleasure. apes ains he showed -- ainsley: we showed video him running up to meet the president. steve: such a neat guy. ainsley: house republicans unveiling tax cuts 2.0, so what is is in it for you and your

family, we will ask larry kudlow coming up next. steve: remember the student that got suspended wearing the protrump shirt, big up kate on his case and you'll find out why he can wear it with pride in the future. for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn?

(voowners always smiling?ck all-night protection. because they've chosen the industry leader.

and these companies that are ripping off the united states. you have to stop them, just remember, we are going to do something that honestly nobody else could do, nobody else could do. we are now in the midst of a great economic revival and it's for that reason that i chose this is the time, this country is doing better than it's before

done before economically, this is the time to take off the ripoff, we have to do it. brian: yesterday the president speaking with veterans of foreign wars and speech and talked about the economy and great time to talk to larry kudlow, perfect person to talk to as we get ready, i guess, to welcome in the eu representative when it comes to trade, larry, great to see you, when it comes to tariff and trade, do you think this is day one of a deal or the day one of a continued fracture between the eu and the usa? >> well, i don't want to get ahead of the story and really is story is going to be when president trump and president sit down one-on-one, nobody else, that's going to lead off the bilateral and that's going to be absolutely crucial, brian, but let me say this, i met with senior staff in the eu, i met

with yunkre's right-hand man for some time, they have a positive attitude going into this, we, our team has a positive attitude, expectations are so low that i believe it is possible, i don't want to predict, it is quite possible that people may be very surprised on the upside, you know, where there's a political willingness there's a political way and i just say, you know, keep an open mind, you may surprised in meeting. ainsley: we are talking about tax cuts 2.0, stuart varney thinking that it wasn't going to pass. jason chaffetz that it could possibly be in the house, what is the tax cut 2.0? >> well, look, you know, 2.0 follows 1.0 rand 1.0 has been a smashing success.

the u.s. economy is booming, roaring, we are the hottest in the world, capital is coming to us, capital flowing to the u.s., we want to look at 2.0, we haven't figured out all of the specifics yet, lots of great discussions internally in the white house and also with way and means kevin brady and others, a lot of different things on the table, maybe make some personal tax cuts permanent, maybe help middle-class people to save more for health and education, maybe even index the capital gains tax for inflation, i'm not announcing, i'm saying these are some of the things being discussed and we will see the public support to tax cuts, economic polls from president trump have never been higher, he's well into the 50 percentile, yeah, we are looking at it, my guess they'll be good announcements, you know, sometimes -- sometime in the fall before the election and

then the legislative process will grind after the election. steve: great, you'll be able to get the democrats to vote, you want to get tax cuts to america just before the election, larry, you said the economy is roaring, there's obvious explanation, alexandria ocasio-cortez who won primary in new york city, she said the reason it's doing so well is because everybody has two jobs, listen. >> unemployment is low because everybody has two jobs, unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their kids, and so i do think that right now when we have this wild west hypercapitallism, what that means profit at any cost. capitalism has not always existed in the world and it will not always exist in the world.

steve: that's the reason according to the socialist that the economy is booming and unemployment is so low, larry kudlow because everybody has two jobs, is she right? >> by the way, unemployment wouldn't be that low if they had two jobs, what's really happening is more people are working which he won't acknowledge. look, i love a good socialist particularly in the democratic party, i'm a free capitalist, the participation rates are rising, unemployment rate obviously is down across the board, blacks, hispanics, women, you name it. sheas factually dead wrong, she's giving you an old cliché, brian, when i worked for many reagan many years ago and had roaring economy everybody said it was hamburger flippers, turns out high-paying jobs, technology jobs, nowadays some of the best

energy, all right, energy is booming, we are producing 11 million-barrels of oil a day, i know estimates can go as high in the next few years, 12, 13, 14 million-barrels, we need pipelines to pipe it in. these are huge -- these are people working hard, i get that, two jobs, i don't know. i don't know what she's looking at. this is just left-wing, it ain't true, people are happy. look at the confidence index. shows you something has really changed. brian: we have to get different theories in there. firsthand advice, exclusive story, how healthy are you, everybody got scared a few months ago? >> i appreciate your concern very much. people have been wonderful. i feel great, i got some new spark plugs, feel better than ever. [laughter] >> everybody tells me i have color in my face. i guess the blood is pumping

through very nicely. i would say this if you ever have a cardiac problem, please have it at walter reid hospital, they are absolutely fabulous and i'm going for check-ups and rehab but i've got a clean bill of health, brian, i played tennis on sunday first time in six weeks, i played half court and went full court and here i am on "fox & friends" alive to tell the story. [laughter] brien: luckily you have a low-stress job. >> you're exactly right. i'm a layed back kind of guy so i don't get that excited about anything and i work for a very laid-back president. i do want to thank people, so many people wrote in and texted and so forth, prayers and well wishing, wonderful, i can't thank them enough and i'm blessed, i'm blessed to be here

this morning and i'm bless today feel great and i'm blessed to talk to you guys, my favorite hit always. brian: just tell the president if he really wants you to stay healthy to cut deal with eu and that will keep the color on your face. >> good logic. i will try that out this morning. >> i think people already have. larry kudlow. steve: jillian joins us with headlines from connecticut. >> that's right, he's funny. let's get you caught up on news, outrage after elected official defends decision to kneel during policemen of allegiance, melissa of connecticut says she took a knee to protest the president writing on facebook, quote, as long as donald j. trump is president of the united states, i will kneel, republican who is running for governor joined us earlier to weigh in. >> she needs to resign immediately and i think this behavior is really reflective of the last eight years which show -- which shows a complete lack

of respect for our country, for our leaders. jillian: a student suspended for wearing this proborder wall shirt to school gets the last laugh, addison who filed lawsuit will receive written apology from the school's principal and $25,000 from oregon district to cover legal fees in a statement barns says, quote, i brought this case to stand up for myself and other students who might be afraid to express their right of center views. oregon woman founds mountain lion sleeping inside her home. the animal taking a cat nap behind the softa for 6 hours, lauren taylor used a drum to get it to leave, she thinks it got in through the door. i don't know what i would do to get that thing to leave. i would leave. brian: good vibes of not being scared. just don't panic if you see a

lion in your living room. ainsley: pass along good vibe. brian: i would just move or sell the house. 18 minutes until the top of the hour, attorney general jeff sessions ripping safe spaces and crying closets. >> some schools are doing everything they can to create a generation of sensitive snowflakes, we are not going to have it. brian: what's going to change? will those schools listen? steve: you are watching "fox & friends", we will be right back. for my constipation, my doctor recommended i switch to miralax. stimulant laxatives forcefully stimulate

republicans to come and speak at the school and candcie, they both joined us to talk about this. >> the college campuses have become island of totalitarianism and fascism and have hurdles when you do want to bring conservatives to campus. it's fundamentally antiamericanism. >> there are students who believe that tolerance is not the answer, what you should do is shut down and shut those who you disagree. we also have to call out the administrations, the college presidents, the deans, those adults in the room who are saying this is how we should be dealing with this when we shouldn't. steve: ultimately colleges is to prepare you to real life, there are people with political -- ainsley: when you get to real life and workplace, they are not providing bubbles and coloring books, you need to learn to grow pup r. -- up.

ainsley: last time i couldn't see you because of all the bubbles. brian: thank you. ainsley: 47 minutes after the top of the hour. steve: fist, bill hemmer. >> you never really know what you're going the find in there. looks like a yard sale. good morning, guys, what's on the audiotapes, is it illegal, we will break that town for you, mike pompeo will take a lot of questions today on the putin summit, progress with north korea, everything else under the sun, marco rubio answers that. great senate in missouri, republican taking seat from democrats, live here today, headliner all lined up, a team panel to go. 9:00 to noon starts in ten minutes. we will see you then.

steve: house speaker paul ryan joins us from statutory hall in the u.s. capitol, mr. speaker, now from midterm elections you will do all you can to raise money for republicans and make sure that the republicans don't lose the house. how are you going to do that? >> first of all, good morning, steve, ainsley and brian, great being back with you guys, you know what i'm going to do is tell the story of what we've done. look, two years ago house republicans ran on a platform called the better way and then along with the newly elected president trump guess what we did, we did what we said we were going to do, kept prompts and enacted a promising agenda that's now occurring and what's the result, we are stronger at home and abroad, we are rebuilding our military, we are confronting the opioids crisis, ending human trafficking, we are

fixing things so that we improve people's lives and so take a look, we now are showing that we are better off now, you can go to better.gov that we have put into place to dramatically improve people's lives, 4% unemployment. more job openings than people looking for work in america today, wages are up, the economy is soaring, these are good things and great results to run on. we will talk to people, what do democrats want to do? abolish ice, government guarantied job, they want to get rid of private health insurance and have government take over health care system. they are going so far left, i think we have a great contrast, a really good track record and good story to tell and that's what we will be telling this fall. brian: you did promise that you will get another immigration bill out there and you promised it to some republican members, denise ross and they want especially guest worker program when it comes to vista program. so what's the deal? >> well, so the very members

that we have been working with have askedtous hold -- asked us to hold on having the vote. we work with agriculture members so we have votes lined up before we take it to the floor, we are not quite there yet. they want to spend august break working on that and that's what we are going to do. ainsley: you only have nine full days, only nine full days until the midterm elections, that's crazy. right around the corner. >> yeah, right. we have a lot to do. a lot to do. ainsley: what's the agenda, what's the most important thing? >> so just this week we are going to finish our bill to rebuild the military, the defense authorization bill, we will finish today our career in technical education bill, complete overhaul, career and technical education, that's going to go -- that's out of the senate now, it's going to go into law, two-year school again, this is our goal to focus on closing skills gap, and then when we come back, we will work

on making tax cuts permit, appropriation bills and we don't want to have big omnibus at end of the day and pass appropriation bills and plan to do that and all the infrastructure bills that we are working, the president's infrastructure agenda that we have been talking about and we are excited about getting the infrastructure bills as well. steve: the president made clear that he wasn't going to fund another one like that. >> that's why we are trying to break it up in old pieces. like the old days. the house has always done this. you have a new chairman over there, shelby, they are actually passing appropriation bills, this year hopefully will be different because we have the senate actually doing appropriations this year. brian: you will visit with the president today and tell him he's got 5 billion for the wall; is that correct? >> well, look, we are going to talk to him about a whole swlui of issues and how to get the appropriation process back on track so at the end of the year we don't have one giant omnibus

appropriation bill. nobody wants that, the senate is engaged so we have a much better plan with the senate to get appropriations done separately and we really just want to get the military funded on time, on budget, on schedule this year and that's the primary concern. brian: 5 billion accurate? >> that's the latest request. the appropriators are working on that. they've changed original request, so that's working through the system. ainsley: how much have you gotten so far? the president wanted 25 billion? >> right now of the 25, 1.6 billion which was the administration's request, the administration in this current fiscal year asked for 1.6 billion, that has been funded and those dollars are being spent. that construction is now occurring. so there is -- there's being money spent on the wall on the border. steve: so much to do and so little time, thanks for spending morning with us. >> you get. steve: we will step aside. more in a minute.
