ainsley: articles of impeachment have been introduced and action could be taken as soon as today. steve: what's it all mean? griff jenkins from d.c. >> unclear if we will see a message today but the message is quite clear republicans have had enough that's why mark meadows and 10 other republicans filed these articles because they say the doj has been withholding documents and communications stonewalling deadlines, defying subpoenas and engaging in potential fisa abuse, apparently wants the release of that fisa application that was the final straw. congressman jim jordan had this to say. >> how about doing the right thing it might have been 120 years since someone was impeached. when also a the last time a fbi duke disproven document no validity and corroboration and take to a secret court. not tell the court who paid for it and not tell the court who had been leaking it to the press not just once four stinken times and the last one rod rosenstein signed. >> across the aisle in a

joint statement house democrats ranking members of the house oversight says this it is a panicked and dangerous attempt to undermine an ongoing criminal investigation in an effort to protect president trump as the walls are closing in around him and his associates. how likely to see a vote? it isn't privileged means it can't go straight to the floor yet. after the today the house is in recess until september 4th. finally a quick history the house has only initiated articles of impeachment 62 times. if they do do it, it will be a big deal today. steve: thank you so much. the way it's going to work it's going to go to the judiciary committee. they will debate it and decide whether or not it goes to the full house. if it were to pass the house. then it would go to the senate where two thirds of the senate would have to vote that they should impeach him. the odds of that actually happening are slim. however, the message is clear. look, these republicans have been asking and members of these committees, they are providing oversight on the department of justice and the fbi. they have been asking for

months we need to see these papers. and they have stonewalled, according to the republicans. but now i understand according to the "wall street journal" apparently a nuivelt requests for documents will be accommodated in the next week. isn't that surprising? ainsley: jim jordan says is he tired of getting the finger instead of these documents that we're entitled. to say he says it's not fair and that rod rosenstein he signed off a third time for the renewal of that fisa court to be able to surveil donald trump's campaign and that information that they used to get permission to do that was unverified which is illegal. brian: other major story that's not getting enough play and for the people who do this for a living and depending on international trade to feed their families, this certainly matters. the president of the united states made it clear he wanted to rebalance trade around the world with the u.s. especially when it comes to europe. after we rebuilt europe in world war ii in the 1940s no one readdressed the fact that they are standing on their feet and competing with us unequally. the president wanted to address it the eu was upset

with aluminum and steel tariffs. finally they set down and talked as promised yesterday. they sat down and we heard larry kudlow with us saying no one has any expectations. just going to talk, but meanwhile they had a plan. their plan was to get something done. believe it or not they did. ainsley: the president says we love each other. did you see his tweet yesterday? look at this picture. this is the president is he hugging junker. obviously the eu and the united states as represented by yours truly love each other. and junker is kissing him on the neck what is the president of the united states doing? is he going to get news a trade war. this is how this businessman negotiates. pushes them into to the brink and they make a deal. that's what happened yesterday. it sounds like the president's threat to levy a 25% tariff on cars really shook the eu to its core.

they have now agreed -- both have agreed to resolve the current u.s. steel and aluminum tariffs. they will figure out what to do about that. also figure out what to do about the retaliatory tariffs that europe has placed on some u.s. goods. here's some good news. they will start buying u.s. soybeans immediately and in the future as soon as the capacity improves, they are going to start buying a lot of liquid natural gas. the shale boom is great for america. ainsley: helps all the people in the midwest all those soybeans farmers. brian: also going to cooperate to reform the world trade organization. so, if the eu and the u.s. get together, guess who is in town today? mexico. geles who met with mexico yesterday bilateral. don't make it bilateral. go back to reforming nafta. get that done before this congress is done. you don't know if it will flip or not if you are president trump or an american president. after that you have got to look at japan. japan has got to say i want to get in on that. could begin to fall together like dominoes and unite against the big problem

china. ainsley: that would be great. steve: yesterday was the best economic news we have had in a couple of weeks. it's a big win for the white house. ainsley: we told you yesterday morning we were expecting mike pompeo to sit down and get grilled on the hill in front of some senators yesterday. that happened. if you missed it, take a look. >> did he tell you what transpired. >> i had a number of conversations with president trump. i think i have a pretty complete understanding of what took place. the president is entitled to have private meetings. i understand the game you are playing. >> no, mr. secretary. with all due respect, i don't appreciate you characterizing my questions. my questions is to get to the truth. we don't know what the truth is. did he tell putin that i will release or ultimately relax sanctions? >> senator, what you need to conduct your role, your appropriate role, i will provide you today. you ask me about u.s. policy with respect to sanctions, and i can confirm to you that no commitment has been made to change those policies in any way. >> north korea still has

chemical and biological weapons and brutalizes its own people and, again, there is no verifiable evidence that north korea is denuclearization. so i am afraid that at this point the united states, the trump administration is being taken for a ride. >> fear not, senator. fear not. >> there is no evidence to the contrary. >> fear not, senator. steve: those were just democrats that we featured. a number of republicans, including the chairman bob corker there senate foreign relations committee, keep in mind, mr. pompeo was called in front of the committee after it was not revealed exactly what was going none helsinki? what did putin say to trump and what did trump say to putin? bob corker, among other things, criticized the president, wanted to know what deal did they work out with putin? what exactly were they doing to nato? and what's the deal with the $12 billion on the bailout for america's farmers? they wanted some answers but mr. pompeo made it very clear look, i'm having a

conversation with my boss. i'm not going to tell you everything he told me. brian: the whole thing was fascinating. i liked all the interchanges. i don't understand how you can get the secretary of state in front of you and don't let him answer a question. you read to him. some of the people. i want to read to you my comments. fank. why do you have him there? this is what mike pompeo did before he walked out. he said there will be no sanctions relief for russia until they get out of crimea. when this comes to trade, trade affecting our relationship with europe and backing of nafta, don't worry about it eu deal, the announcement of the eu deal came in the middle of that hearing. the russia summit postponed until 2019. here are the number of times the president hats cited that his belief that the russia meddled the elections. any questions? took the teeth out of a lot of the arguments coming at him. what they don't understand is the president is doing this unorthodox way. i understand bob corker's concern. is he used to a traditional way of approaching these things. what mike pompeo was trying to say is the foundation is secure. the communication with the

president is solid. don't worry about it. let's wait. ainsley: we had rex tillerson in that position and the president puts his friend mike pompeo in that position. we see him meeting with the number two guy in north korea over and over and over. things are getting done in north korea despite what some of those senators are accusing him u of. far better off now than the last election. he met with the foreign minister there several times and trying to get things done there and having a good fooght footing with putin and relationship with him. then is he being i have theth cut sized because the president met one-on-one with putin. i understand the trying to say co-included with russia. that's never happened. president obama did that in 2013. he sat down with russian president vladimir putin. one-on-one behind closed doors. and they spoke for 20 to 30 minutes. this is not unprecedented. this is something that presidents do. steve: the senators are all frustrated on both sides of the island they wanted answers and mr. pompeo said exactly as much as he wanted

to and apparently that's the way the white house wanted to handle it. brian: now to a woman not frustrated. jillian. jillian: never from us straighted at all, calm, cool and collected. good morning to you at home as well. start with a fox news alert while you were sleeping a homemade bomb explodes near the u.s. embassy in beijing. police say the blast only injured a 26-year-old man who was holding the device made out of fireworks. the u.s. embassy was not damaged. authorities say the suspect is from mongolia. only being identified by his last name. he is in the hospital. but his motive is unclear. a milwaukee police officer shot and killed trying to make an arrest, officers were searching for a man wanted on gun and drug charges when he opened fire. >> for the police department. 17-year veteran. who was well-loved by the department and a friend of mine. >> that suspect is now behind bars. law enforcement lining the streets to honor the officer who has not yet been named. 15 cops have been shot this

defense attorney and fox news contributor ted williams. ted, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: okay. so we understand this guy's immigration history is a little sketchy to us at this point. but, clearly, it sounds like he came to the country legally on some sort of a visa, overstayed it. but, then, he had a string of run-ins with the cops. he had instances of ice coming into his life. and, yet, he was allowed to stay. what was going on there? >> well, as you said earlier, steve, this guy actually failed through the cracks here. we know that in 2008, and 2010, he was arrested twice on felony charges. you would have thought that there would have been ice holds and those ice holds would have permitted ice to pick him up and deport him. unfortunately, that didn't happen and as a result of that, officer jarvis smith of the fort myer police department was shot in the

head by this guy allegedly. steve: well, you know, these occurrences were doing the past administration. going forward now, things have changed regarding people with criminal history and ice detainers, right? >> absolutely. this administration has, when i say this administration, meaning the trump administration, has been terribly tenacious on making sure that these individuals do not slip through the crack. that's one of the very positive things of this administration u. steve: the sad part that somebody, this police officer down in florida, is wounded, you know, shot in the head could have killed this guy. >> that is the sad commentary. it's chilling to find out that 15 law enforcement officers alone have been shot this month alone. and, jarvis smith was out there just trying to serve and protect the members of

the fort myers community when he was shot in the head by this guy who should have actually been deported? steve: you are right about that. ted williams, criminal defense attorney. we thank you very much for joining us live now. >> my pleasure. steve: thank you, ted. all right. 6:20 here in new york city. jane fonda earned the name hanoi jane for her protest. she said she is sorry, sort of, for sitting on that tank. this top dog on capitol hill and, guess what? the dog is going to join us live. congresswoman liz cheney and her chief of staff and hank, the dog, slightly out of screen, is going to join us live. there is tank. thank you. ♪ let's give them something to talk about ♪ a world that doesn't exist outside you...

president rouhani never to threaten the u.s. again. what can we expect? g.o.p. congresswoman liz cheney just met with john bolton this week and she joins us now with an inside look. good morning to you congresswoman. thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having me ainsley. good to be with you. ainsley: what did john bolton tell you how the united states will continue to respond to iran? >> well, we had a really good meeting with the national security advisor on capitol hill. the president has done exactly the right thing. we talked about the fact that it was very important to pull out of the iranian nuclear agreement. it was an agreement that was really giving people false comfort while it provided the iranians a pathway to a nuclear weapon. and we are in a situation now where companies across europe are going to have to choose in many instances whether they want to do business with the united states or with iran. but we have got to absolutely make sure that we are committed, particularly as we watch iran continue its activities across the middle east, continue to threaten israel. continue ballistic missile development. where the iranians have got to understand that those are the kinds of behaviors that won't be accepted by the united states.

and i have been very pleased to see president trump and the national security advisor john bolton take a lead on insuring that we do everything we can to prevent iranians have obtaining nuclear weapons. ainsley: how different is what they're doing from the past administration. >> oh, it's hugely different, ainsley. if you look at the fact that barack obama paid $1.5 billion, u.s. taxpayer money, paid the iranians to get them to enter into the nuclear agreement and then had you secretary of state john kerry traveling the world basically acting as though he were the head of the iranian chamber of commerce. encouraging countries around the globe to invest in iran. the economy in iran is run by the iranian revolutionary guard corps. they have their hands in every single aspect of business in iran and so providing resources to the iranians investment in fact is helping to facilitate their malign activities around the world and nuclear program. we have made the right turn here and i'm optimistic that we will continue to be very tough with iranians. ainsley: we imposing

workforce by 22%. over 2,000 jobs are on the chopping block. the company reporting disappointing second quarter earnings partly because of toys r us shops closing. and you may need to find another way to say i love you on valentine's day. uh-oh. the fakeer of those famous sweetheart conversation hearts and necco waivers announcing its selling the company and shutting down massachusetts plant. it's not clear if the new owners were resume candy production. how far will we say i love you on valentine's day without the hearts. brian: maybe with the words. ainsley: that's what i'm wondering. brian: oh words, come on, bribe. steve: necco waivers. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein is one step closer to being impeached and it could happen as soon as today. steve: something could happen. filing articles of impeachment he has held up investigation into the anti-trump agents. brian: here to weigh in fox news senior judicial an list

judge andrew napolitano. you are not for this symbolic move. >> the people behind this are long-time friends of mine. whom i respect and admire and like. brian: of like mind. judge: yes, i agree with them this is the small government crowd in the house that sometimes torments the house leadership on when they want to do things that are too big government oriented. on this i profoundly disagree with them. it doesn't matter what i think. the constitution says that the very, very narrow basis for impeachment. that's intentional. if it were a broad base, people would be getting kicked out of office left and right. treason. this is directly from the constitution. treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. when bill clinton. steve: a little vague. judge: a little vegas. when bill clinton was impeached it was obstructing justifiable by lying under oath. it has to be something of that magnitude. improperly signing off on a fisa warrant, staying in a position of a conflict of

interest, where you could be a witness in a case and you're managing the case. steve: that's a good argue. >> good argument for -- ainsley: why didn't he recuse himself. judge: you would have to ask him. that may be coming. steve: what do you expect of members of congress frustrated with the department of justice they have asked for months and months and months for certain documents which they're entitled to and yet they have stonewalled and apparently now the department of justice is going to cough some of them up next week. judge: they are going to cough them up because of threats like this which are in my opinion wrong and baseless but embarrassing for everybody involved. the doj has a legitimate lawful basis for keeping certain documents secret in a pending investigation. i want this mueller thing over as soon as possible. but it is still pending. and you can't -- you would be interfering with it if you forced the public revelation of some of those documents. but, the back story is eric holder. what?

yeah, six years ago, when he was held in contempt by a republican congress, he was the attorney general, for refusing to surrender documents on fast and furious, he was held in contempt, nothing happened. you could hear a pin drop. they have to take the contempt across the street to a federal court and prosecute the contempt. if they don't do that then nothing happened. ainsley: it's par for the course. this happens in washington. feel like they are above the law. some people get in trouble and held in contempt. nothing ever happens. >> judge: nothing ever happens. this will almost be a red badge of courage for rosenstein that he endured this, defending the integrity, in his view, of the department of justice. brian: judge, if think thought it was a legitimate reason to hold back documents jorpsd and meadows would have backed off. they feel as though rosenstein is dragging this out to get a new house so he doesn't have to deal with it hard to hearing with that. >> this is not going to be

over before november. i don't know if this is going to produce a new house. 435 local elections effectively. but they do feel that way, you are right, brian. a way to bring public attention to all of this. brian: i will say this, i read your columns all the time. but today was your best ever. a salute to your dad. >> thank you. brian: a great american story. if you are going to read one of the judge's columns, judge, i feel bad for you because you will never beat this one. this was a task salute to your dad. >> he was a great american patriot who died at age 92 married to my mother for 70 years. she is going to kill me for this. she is the same age. they met in kindergarten at age 4. best friends for 88 years. these numbers are biblical. and his funeral was two days ago. a great human being. brian: story about to get on a submarine. he breaks his ankle. he has to delay going, that submarine never returns from world war ii. be no judge napolitano. judge: there would be no a

lot of things. steve: thinking about you. >> thank you. ainsley: sorry for your loss, judge. >> thank you. steve: straight ahead on this thursday, ice protesters finally cleared out of their camps in portland but they left behind a biohazard of all sorts of mess. that says a lot right there. who is going to pay to clean it up? guess what? you are. ainsley: go to work this morning. ainsley: this student wearing a pro-trump shirt has 25,000 reasons to smile after winning a legal battle with his school district. going to join us live here coming up next. ♪ ♪

brian: high school student in oregon suspended for wearing pro-trump t shirt getting last laugh and money. after suing the school the

district and his principal add son barnes is receiving a letter of apology for the suspension, because he was suspended and he is courted from school and $25,000. now, add son joins us with his reaction. addison, you graduated. this is in your reviewer mirror but, yet, you actually won. what does it feel like? >> it feels pretty good to be at this point. it's been a long road but i'm pretty excited to be at this point and win this case. brian: relive that day and tell me what the shirt said. >> the shirt said border wall construction company and had a quote from donald trump that the wall just got 10 feet taller. brian: so you wore that and then when did you realize there was a problem? >> well, i wore the shirt to my people in politics class where we were talking about the very issue of immigration that day. and about 20 minutes into the class, the assistant principal comes in and she takes me out of class and pull me aside and said a couple students and teacher

were offended by my shirt. at that point she says i either need to cover the shirt up or go home. so i told her i would cover the shirt up, which i did for a few minutes. and then i thought to myself, you know, this isn't right. i have the first amendment, i should be able to express my political opinions. so i took the jacket i was wearing off. and at that time she saw that. and so she called for security and escorted me out of class. brian: wow. escorted you out of class. you didn't stop there you say this isn't right. you took the school to court and you won. they said that your shirt contributed to a hostile learning environment. this letter from the principal after you won says this. please accept my apologies for charging you with a suspension. i further apologize for any inconvenience charging the suspension caused you. evidently the shirt hurt some people's feelings but the principal realizes the error of their ways. do you accept the apology?

>> >> yes, do i accept the apology. i think the school definitely will think twice before they act on a situation like this next time. brian: why was it necessary for you to wear that shirt? why did you want to do it? >> i think in the first place it just represented my political beliefs. brian: what about the people that might be offended by the wall. what do you say to them? >> well, i mean, the point of the shirt is not to get anybody upset or anything. it's simply to express my political believes just as somebody who has a different political opinion than me, i think they should be able to wear whatever or express their opinions how however they may see fit. so, in general, all it really was was just me expressing my political beliefs. brian: the courts believe you have a right to do that. now on to college. best luck, addison you have $25,000 to invest now. >> sort of. most of that will go to -- all of it will go to the lawyer and attorney fees.

hard line trump won big. they got an agreement to work towards no tariffs, no baieriers, real free trade. that's what they are going to work towards. the that's the overall framework here. that is a huge plus. beaten in to this by trump's hard line. >> stuart, in the beginning when he first came out and said, you know, we're going to put a tariff on things unless they essentially blink what you just said i think his suggestion that we the united states would slap 25% tax on every one of their cars deeply impacting germany which really have a spark plug over there they had to say, you know what? let's make a deal why threaten tariffs and impose tariffs on steel and aluminum that was the club that we brought our trading nations to the table with something very important you should not hide in that agreement they got yesterday. number one, the europeans are going to buy a ton of

our soybeans. the farmers are feeling much better about that and trump is on his way to iowa later on today. but even more important, the europeans are going to take our energy, they are going to take liquified natural gas. take that russia, because russians wanted to supply europe with energy and at the moment when that deal, liquified natural gas, exports to europe, when that was announced, that was the moment when we put off trump summit with putin 2 until next year. a slap at russia. a real undermining of the russian supply of energy to europe. we're going to take that. a slap at angela merkel definitely. >> car tariffs are not going to be put on these german cars. the us gets what they want here. would you say both sides stepped back yesterday after they saw what life was like with us with friction they decided to heal that. >> both sides brought something. >> they both came in and there was no bs.

it was right to the point. they suddenly surprised each other and both willingness to deal. >> there was dealing and wheeling on both sides. a little give on both sides, the europeans gave far more than the americans gave. did you see the expression onon clawed juncker's face when he walked out into the rose garden for that press conference. he looked a little depressed. mr. trump was smiling broadly. i think hard line trump won. ainsley: the picture tweeted out he was kissing his neck. lawmakers are getting closer to funding the border wall, you have the outgoing congressman joe crowley who was just beat by the socialist. he was saying that he wants us now, not only to put families back together but he wants to compensate those kids. listen to this. >> the damage that has been done to these children will be lifelong. in fact, i suggest they need to be compensated for what this administration did to them. >> i think that's a

desperate attempt to keep the outrage of a family separation right in front of the cameras. but it makes absolutely no sense to me at all. you break. steve: a legal immigrant yourself. just the fact that they are in the country illegally and then the country would pay them, does that make sense? >> if i break into your house, sit around your living room and demand compensation because you didn't treat me very nicely, that is outrageous. there is somewhat al just situation here. people come into the country, their families are separated then they demand or joe crowley wants compensation for them because they have been badly treated. just doesn't rub me up the right way quite frankly. what are they doing here in the first place? why did you come to the border with your children in the first place? you know it was illegal and now you want us, taxpayers, to compensate them for the difficulty that they have had? i'm not buying that. brian: two prominent democrats have come forward the last of which is joe lieberman, the latest say they are really concerned the party is going to the

social isles forms where the momentum is behind the bernie sanders in that party. one was congressman cleaver and as i mentioned jerome who when he was ousted by a lefty went back and ran as an independent. >> i'm sure you saw the latest rasmussen report polls. it finds that the democrats can't define socialism but they like it. 51% of democrats polled favor socialism as part of the democrat makeup. i'm not buying that i'm a refugee from socialism. i just can't see a win for the democrats if they keep on going left, left, left, left, left. just not -- i don't think that's a decent electoral strategy which will win them in november. brian: it's almost as if they're not teaching the pluses of capitalism in school most of the people who say give me socialism are in their 20's. they are saying want free medicare. i want a gainer terried salary and guaranteed social

net instead of go out and be jim buoy. >> if you are not a socialist by the age of 25, have you got no heart. if you are a still a socialist after 25, you've got no head. who said that? winston churchill said that. and was he right or was he right? young people are gal tearians. that's unged understandable. i was. i don't know but but i certainly was. you grow up and learn how things really work. ainsley: earlier in the week we had three guests on who come from socialist regimes and so proud to be in america. yesterday i was telling the guy was i was in a taxicab and there was a gray tibet and he had to leave his country and become an american. he said i saw my loved ones tortured by the chinese government i he said they don't stand young millennials in america doesn't understand what socialism means. >> i came from a socialist society, england. i left in the 1970s when england was frankly in a state of chaos the economy

was really greed there were power outages, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. the country was going nowhere. you set foot in america and suddenly you realize you have scope and dinism. life. capitalism. competition it produces the best of everybody. you have freedom, exactly. you can make individual choices for yourself and go as far as as your talent brains take you. that's not socialism. steve: later today on the business channel, talking about this trade deal with the eu. just a real quick preview, now we come to some sort of framework with the eu, what's going to happen to nafta and what's going to happen to china? good question because a delegates from mexico is in d.c. as of today talking a bilateral deal, u.s.-mexico, and now we have got the europeans and the americans

together at least on the trade issue. now they can go after the number one problem which is china. the stars are lining up behind america, behind president trump on the trade issue. >> and the tariffs are the ones arguably works out well with the levers. >> give him clout. brian: mexican american relationship is getting canada nervous. they flew to canada yesterday saying don't forget about nafta. if it's going to reform it will be in the next month. a lot of momentum will be coming. >> it started already. there is momentum going in the right direction. steve: are you saying the president's disruptive policies have actually started to work? >> yes, i am. absolutely. ainsley: will the markets be good because of this today? >> the markets took a nice pop yesterday late in the day when the trade news was announced. you watch out, tomorrow morning, 8:30 eastern time, we will find out how fast this economy is growing. it's going to be extraordinary. you could see a growth rate of four, maybe even five%.

steve: when was the last time it was like that? >> had 4% growth back in 2014 for one quarter only. we have not had 4% growth overall for the entire economy for a couple of decades. brian: by the way the next deal could be with britain and next deal with japan. >> all the stars are aligned. steve: let's make a deal. thank you very much. stuart varney the monte hall of fox business news. ainsley: jillian is behind you. jillian: we have breaking news and sad news to pass along. a rookie public safety officer is shot and killed with his own gun in arizona. the troopers responding overnight to erratic driver allegedly throwing things at cars right outside of phoenix. once they arrived a struggle happened where a trooper taylor lost his gun. he had just finished field training. the suspect then picked it up and fired it, killing the trooper. another officer was shot but is expected to be okay. this is the second officer to be shot and killed in the

administration is making progress on trade agreements secretary pompeo alluded to that in the middle of the hearing as news broke that president juncker and president trump were making some kind of announcement on trade. we talked about policies. policies firmly in place and rejection of russian activities in crimea and beyond. brian: so, mike pompeo walked in saying okay, i know problem, don't know what's going on with north korea, here we are. the russian summit has been postponed russian summit 2 to 2019. does the president believe it yes. i will cite all the examples. now do you have any questions? trade going to affect foreign policy we just solved the eu perhaps. any other questions? do you sense a political agenda, house chris coons i felt like every senator was auditioning for their base. >> yeah. you had a lot of people trying to make hits and grandstands at that committee hearing. it's not surprising. i'm sure it happens pretty often. bottom line i thought secretary pompeo comported

himself very well and that's the reason why is he our top diplomat because is he not only handle the pressure but can he lay out a very clear vision of what u.s. policy is and how that matters to the rest of the world. brian: senator bob corker a very sober individual. he is going to be retiring and he has sometimes sparred with the president. he says the white house sometimes has a ready, fire, aim approach to foreign policy. do you agree with that or do you know more now to make you think that there is a method to the unorthodox madness. >> what we heard yesterday, secretary pompeo is right. we can't simply rely on press release diplomacy. meaning we fire off press releases and fire up the web sites and internet and condemn somebody for their actions have. face to face conversations with people we disagree with what you heard was a layout of policies that push back on those maligned activities and maligned behaviors. there are some that don't like the style or the behavior. what's important is that the united states stands um for our values. you heard that in the crimea

declaration yesterday. that's very important that we hear that it's important that we stand up to china. to north korea, and others. so i think that's exactly what secretary pompeo laid out. brian: senator, when they used to have battles in the old days the generals used to lead and be on the front lines. isn't that the way the president is doing things. he leads and pompeo mattis and bolton. should we get used to that? >> that's exactly the style you have seen from this president whether it's kim jong un or whether it's vladimir putin. again, i don't think -- you know, remember what happened over the last 8 years. you had a president obama who said to mitt romney the 80's are calling. they want their foreign policy back. now we see russia sort of taking this center stage role that the democrats denied for the last 8 years. it's pretty remarkable. brian: senator, great job, thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. brian: 10 minutes before the bottom of the hour. counselor to the president kellyanne conway will join us at the bottom of the hour. one couple on a mission to tell the stories behind the badge traveling thousands of miles to meet the men and women who protect us every

boy, you know, you can't ride it until i get you some new tires for the bike. so the little boy agreed. and just a few days later, corporal hill got a call that said that the little boy had taken the tires off of the bicycle and he was riding it on the metal rims and slid out into traffic. he couldn't stop and he was struck and killed and corporal hill said i will never get over that he said i choose to remember his face when i gave him the bicycle and how he smiled and was so proud of him. ainsley: that's beautiful. thank you so much for sharing these stories. it's very important. thank you for your life of service both of you. the book is called behind the texas badge if you want to get it on a amazon. please support this couple and some money will go to charity. some will be dedicated to the concerns of police survivors and the texas game warned association fall adventure weekend for the children of fallen officers. god bless you both. thank you. >> thank you ainsley. ainsley: you are welcome. president trump making a big

trade. critics they are just proving his point about being man of action in a town talk getting rid of all these loch ness monsters. why is it important? it's important because it goes beyond him just keeping a promise to the american worker and american interest to renegotiate these imbalanced, unfair nonreciprocal trade deals. she ihe is actually putting america first by standing shoulder to shoulder with leaders in this case the eu. as the presidentside in the pree rose garden yesterday working toward better deals overall. this is important because this president now is taking the model of reforming taxes, historically cutting our taxes and reforming the tax code and applying it to trade. he got our economy robust. i don't know what the g.d.p. number will be tomorrow. i guarantee it won't be anemic 2% or less that the last president told us we had to settle for.

it could be double that. our unemployment rate is less than 4% or about 4%. today the president will travel to iowa and illinois to build on his work for the american worker. last week he and ivanka trump announced a new council. had 2 23 ceos in the east room committing to 3.7 million new jobs rescaling opportunities make sure our modern workforce can take advantage of those 6.6 million jobs that are available looking for labor instead of labor looking for jobs. it's a very exciting time in our economy. people know what they see. the difference between what they hear is true and relevant and important to them and what they know when they look at their paychecks, their bonuses their 401(k)s and the great opportunities we have under this president's economic stewardship. brian: you have the trade deals. try to do them one by one. next up is mexico. as early as today. yesterday larry kudlow low balled any type of

expectations and obviously you exceeded them because the eu came to the table ready to deal and i imagine you guys did too. so, what do you know from talking to the president, perhaps, we can expect from today's meeting with mexico? >> well, both president trump and the new president of mexico have signaled their willingness to work together, to try to renegotiate nafta and, again, to get a better deal for american workers and american interests. this president is very open to speaking and dealing in a bilateral fashion. i think that's really this president. he attends the multilateral meetings. the u.s. is well-represented around the globe when he does and when his principles do. at the same time, when he deals with a bilateral fashion one-on-one chief executive to chief executive. great results happen. and in mexico, obviously, this is a situation with nafta that's been going on since day one. the president pulled us out of tpp. the trans-pacific partnership a couple of days

in and said he would renegotiate nafta. if he didn't like the results he would pull america out of nafta. he has never left the negotiating table. he and his team have taken the case to mexico, have taken it to canada. canada was in mexico yesterday. steve: kelly, there were a number of republicans out in the farm states who have heard about this hurting their farmers. will this all for the most part be settled before the november mid terms. >> let's talk about the farmers for a moment. the farmers of course know that this president is a great friend of farmers. he has made many moves, taken many actions and kept many promises that. obviously tax cuts and deregulation has helped them. steve: tariffs. >> i get that announced $12 billion in assistance for some of them to help ease that the president said something i think didn't get

a lot of coverage which in my view answers your question everyone needs to be patient. these things take time. that's why recognizing that some may need additional assistance while everything is taking hold. steve: okay. >> we can't keep getting screwed, folks. the president gives you the nuns routinely. that all the trade deficits we have with different countries with respect to different industries and that has to stop. he doesn't want americans, including american farmers to continue to suffer. he will be out in iowa today and illinois. ainsley: agreeing to increase the imports on soybeans. definitely helps soybean farmers. our leaders in congress are getting closer and closer to getting more money for the wall. but then you have congressman joe crowley the guy yo who just lost the socialist. taking a step further not just reuniting with the kids. giving the kids, illegal children giving them money, compensating them for what

they have been through. this is a guy getting ready to leave. he was just defeated. why is he saying this? >> he was defeated in the primary. we should probably ♪ that joe crowley's name still appears on the third party line on the ballot. maybe that's what this has to do with it has to do with just the fast move to the left. you move so quickly you will slide off, i think. eventually. and he was beaten by a person who was screaming socialism. went through the midwest. bernie sanders this past weekend and talked bawl it doesn't seem to have a great understanding of markets let alone mideast as we found out in have you routine questions and interviews. this is them all trying to outflank each other. i'm not that n. charge of the democratic party's messaging but i don't understand it because i don't understand why they and some of their enabl enablers in talk about than -- so

brave and effective they get rid of the drugs, the human traffickers the child smugglers. the people who want to come here and dues harm. they are just doing their jobs. let me make one more thing clear. yesterday, bade dough running against ted cruz in texas say those who want to abolish ice in this party is a slogan bumper sticker. where is he running for the senate texas a border state. he sees what ice and others do. brian: kelly, one of your areas of expertise is polling. you know that the president's numbers with republicans are higher than others. like bush after 9/11. however with independents have you lost 8 points. can you name two things that you believe independents care about that you think the administration might pursue in the next few months. >> that's one poll. i think the president his whole agenda on prosperity/opportunity and security as themes. really should attract these

independents for whom i don't know what else the alternatives are throughout for them because we have just been talking about the other party and i won't any further. but they should be very happy that if they want to start a small business or grow it, if they want a little bit more extra money in their pockets. if they want to switch jobs or find a job with better benefits, they do all of that under donald trump's economy. they should also be very pleased under this president's global leadership, america is back. we're no longer on an apology tour. we are out there putting america first. and that should attract independence. why are people independence? don't conflate them with moderates. people do that too often. independents are independent because they don't like either party and don't like the government. this president is the first president in america's history to never have before held office or a military post. and he is just not a politician. he came here owing nobody anything. that's a classic independent platform. and i think they should also be happy that you have got people like secretary pompeo in "u.s.a. today" standing

for religious liberty of all faiths. yesterday i think owning some of the senators who were preening for the cameras. bob menendez basically screaming and insulting secretary of state mike pompeo. i would love a readout of bob menendez nondiplomatic mission in the dominican republic. steve: for another day. >> who is acting civilly and getting things done. poll numbers are fine but the metrics that really matter to americans are how is the stock market? how is my paycheck? how is my bonus? how is my raise? how are the opportunities? how many unfilled jobs are there what can i do in a donald trump economy to improve my life? and answer is many things. steve: we always enjoy talking to kellyanne conway from the north lawn of the white house thank you very much. >> my pleasure. ainsley: cowboys owner jerry jones kneeled in solidarity with his players. now is he warning america's team to stand for the anthem. steve: todd piro is standing. he is having breakfast with friends down in louisiana. we will check in at the butter krisp diner coming up next. ♪ ♪

church congregation in los angeles. total disrespect just look at this. a man caught on camera burning blue line american flags outside a bar popular with local police and military. you can see him grabbing the corner of the flag and lighting it on fire. this happened in north carolina. blue line flags are meant to honor police officers for their courage and sacrifice. police are still searching for that suspect. i'm sure that has a lot of people in that town very angry. ainsley: that makes all of us mad. hard to watch. steve: they will be finding him. i have a feeling. brian: jerry jones the owner of the cowboys, also should know this the nfl is walking back new anthem policy. they are now meeting with the union to come out for a way to solve this. what if some players on your team want to take a knee or sit on the bench? they still don't have a plan. but that didn't stop the cowboys. they are not waiting to talk to the union or get direction from the league.

steve: listen to this. >> we certainly have a policy relative to the team. that is very clear. you stand at the anthem toe on the line. steve: the players feel they have a first amendment right to express themselves. many take a knee, have taken a knee over the last year or two. but jerry jones has made it very clear, if you are going to work for me, because this is your place of employment, you are going to stand. ainsley: did he say if you don't want to stand you can still stay in the locker room? brian: no. ainsley: you have to stand. steve: toe on the line. ainsley: they also asked him you talk about this all the time. are you ready for this to die down he said absolutely. i'm ready forethis conversation to end tired of talking about it. brian: also wishes the president would not weigh in. he says his interest in what we are doing is problematic from my chair and i would stay in general owner's chair. it's unprecedented if you really think about it like the very game itself, that's the way it is and we will deal with it.

steve: it will be interesting to see if any other owners side with jerry going forward. what do you think? email us friends@foxnews.com. also we are on facebook and twitter. brian: we all want to stop talking about it so please stand. meanwhile, still ahead. ainsley: todd piro is having breakfast with friends in louisiana. we will check in with him coming up next. ♪ ♪ how do you win at business? stay at la quinta. where we're changing with stylish make-overs. then at your next meeting,

name is butter krisp, can you think of a better name for a place that has awesome donuts. we have amazing opinions. talking to people about the major issues of the day. we begin with a retired salesman and when it comes to north korea and iran, you call the president a chess player. >> he makes his moves, he just moves people around like pawns. especially the media think don't know if they are come or going. he will say watch this over here and next thing you know he is moving like this. todd: you like his strategy? >> absolutely. todd: irene is our trouble maker here at the butter krisp diner. causing problems all morning long. retired executive assistant. she hates the way the mainstream media treats the president with regard to his meeting with vladimir putin. why do you say that? >> well, i think it's very presumous of the fake news people to think they should be privy to what went on in

a private meeting between two leaders of the two of the most significant countries in the whole world. donald trump knows what he is doing. and when the economy is improved, foreign relations improved since he took office, and i really do think when he is ready to let them know what went on between him and putin he might give them a tweet or two. todd: all right, irene. [cheers] todd: thanks for not getting me fired. i appreciate that. let's go to frank now. frank, environmental specialist and army vet thank you for your service, sir. some of what the president does drives you nuts. you call him a view strategist, why. >> like this guy said, is he making moves in a grand scale. he is forcing issues, bringing things to the table in a way that previous presidents have not. take a poll before he does something. todd: quickly, i want to get your take on north korea, because you were stationed in korea as an army individual.

as an army soldier. what's your take? >> i like what he is doing with north korea. i was there in 1970, and i was near the dmz looking at the north korea for a year, waiting for them to invade. that's 48 years ago. we have been playing that game but i love the way trump is doing this. one of the old adages i like is keep your friends close and your enemies closer. bring him in to the table and talk to him and find out what he wants. todd: frank, thank you. send it back to the court who dey. >> i want to go to that diner. ainsley: they have a lot of fun. ainsley: very supportive of one another, too. steve: indeed. coming up, it's happened again, president trump's star on the walk of fame in hollywood got destroyed. a guy with a pick ax. wait until you hear who might bail that guy out. ainsley: plus, democrats are hoping for a blue wave in november. they may end up wiping out. we have the numbers to show you ♪ you got to keep your head

>> to have children apart and separated is one of the most reprehensible things i witnessed. they need to be compensated. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> not talking about the weather today. b. brian: i always forget it's a he. steve: today we will tell youia little bit about what they would consider yesterday at the white house a winning wednesday after the president has talked about rebalancing the trade agreement throughout the world the european union came and the end result was terrific. ainsley: terrific. the president met with eu officials in the rose garden,

they lined up or told us what this means for you and they agreed to increase import on soybeans and liquefied natural gas. that's the message to angela merkel, that's a message to russia and farmers in the midwest, if you're a soybean farmer, the import will go up. this is good news for the family. broken brian looks like we are going to hold off on doing that. when i comes to alum anaheim steel they will be enacted. this shows willingness on both sides to get a deal done to rebalance trade in a way that works for both, for the most part we are living under rebuilding europe mentality and there's no reason for this. if this can be worked out in speed then comes méxico and then

comes nafta and then china. the major problem of the world unfair practices when it comes to china. steve: the president has been very effective, you know, we are getting the shaft here, they put 25% tariff on us speaking of various places and we don't get anything if return. stuart varney who hosts varney & company in about an hour he said this is a big win for potus. stuart: we impose tariffs on steel and aluminum, that was the club we brought our trading nations to the table with. the europeans will buy a ton of soybeans, the farmers are feeling better about that and trump is on his way to iowa later on today, even more important, the europeans are going to take our energy, they will take liquefy natural gas, take that russia.

brien: they will work together to have that happen. a lot of times i believe this theory, sometimes you take a marriage or long-term frich you take for granted. what happens -- steve: the marriage wasn't fair. >> you take people for granted, it's human nature. the president walks in here, i know you had a relationship but i don't like a few things about you, first you get taken aback and maybe taken aback with the nafta last week, and now they are saying, okay, here is the deal, let's eastern our trust -- earn our trust and show me you care about the relationship, spend more, to me this is a marriage which is a series of one-year contracts. ainsley: so much on the agenda. steve: heck of a marriage. brian: one-year contracts, think about this. steve: yeah, but you know, president trump came into office, you know, we have been doing business like this for

decades, we are getting the short end of the stick, people said it'll get us in trade war, now we are saying that maybe this was a brilliant move. ainsley: people care about the economy, that's what all polls show and stuart varney said the markets are so good and maybe never better, we will get final numbers tomorrow. brian: we need wages to go up for average person and it's going to be hard to deny that revival is only going to a certain sect of the country. ainsley: we talked about 401(k) 's are going up and many critical. >> they want to know what happened. ainsley: he sat down behind closed doors, barack obama did that. he's entitled to do that. mike pompeo sat in front of senators and many were upset, they want to neglect what happened during 2-hour meeting within our president an president putin and mike pompeo,

he defended the president, listen to this. >> did he tell you what transpired? >> the president is entitled to have a private meeting. >> i understand the game that you're playing. >> my question is to get to the truth, we don't know what the truth is. did he tell putin that our relax sanctions? >> senator, what you need to conduct your role, your appropriate role i will provide you today, you asked me about u.s. policy with respects to sanctions and i can condition -- confirm that no changes in any way. >> north korea still has weapons and there's no verifiable evidence that north korea is denuclearization. >> i am afraid that at this

point, the united states, the trump administration is being taken for a ride. >> fear not, senator. fear not. >> there's no evidence to the contrary. >> fear not, senator. steve: mike pompeo was asked a million ways, tell us what he said and he said i will tell you about policy,i am not going to tell you about what they said. that's all you're entitled. you spoken to translate frer the putin-trump meeting. ainsley: i heard they are trying to subpoena the translator. steve stove they would like to get the translate the other spill the beans and he said yesterday he has not spoken to translator and does not need to be done and the translator works for department of state. boin brian the thing they are having a problem with, the president will lead by tweets, lead in an interview and many contradict what the policy is. the thing is they know exactly where they are going, mattis, bolton and pompeo need to -- ted to be the bedrock, le go out,

test, probe and pride but doesn't affect the policy and he said, when it comes to north korea we have to get this done by the end of the four years. we don't know exactly what's next. i will brief you behind closed doors. when it comes to russia, six different times the president said the russians med untilled the election. ainsley: many are waking up this morning and paying for kids, pay for college, maybe leave them a change when you pass away, this -- this congressman joe crowely who lost the election to socialist who won in new york area, he's saying you should go to work, your taxpayers, they should go to kids that were here illegally. listen to this. >> the damage that was done to

kids is lifelong, in fact, they should be compensated to what the administration tid to them. brian: exactly, give it to people that are not in the country, noncitizens. steve: in the country illegally. kellyanne conway heard this and had on ver vagues. >> i'm not in charge of the democratic's message, but i don't understand it, i don't understand whey they talk more about russia than they do america, talk more about abolishing ice and abolishing isis and men and women of ice are so brave and effective they get rid of drugs, human traffickers, child smugglers, the people who want to come and do us harm, they are just doing their job. steve: the parel for democratic party and we are about to talk to a pollster in the next segment, as you look at the win from alexandria ocasio-cortez, mr. crowely a couple of weeks ago how far are democrats are willing to go to the left to

appeal to the left, you need the people in the middle, moderates and liberals. brian: that's how connorl lamb. ainsley: how would he vote? >> we don't know, joe lieberman came out and said, my goodness, what's going on with this. steve: anyway, a lot going on, we will have pollster in a minute. right now we have headlines with jillian. jillian: let's get you caught up on fox news alert, rooky cop is shot and killed after suspect grabs an officer's weapon, moments ago officers leading prodecision outside of hospital near phoenix year. the troopers responding to

reports of driver when suspect grabbed gun and open fire, another trooper was also shot but is expected to be okay. this is the second officer to be shot and killed in the past 24 hours. a 17-year veteran milwaukee officer died trying to mick arrest on wednesday, 16 cops have been shot this month alone. 33 have been killed by gunfire so far this year, in 201735 officers were killed by gunfire in total. to another fox news alert, we have just learned the remains of 55 american service members killed in korean war are expected to be returned by north korea tomorrow, the american plane will receive the cask ets and transfer them to u.s. air base in south korea and flown to hawaii next week, repatriation is part of an agreement between president trump and kim jong un. while you were sleeping box explodes near embassy in bay gypping, the box injured a man who was holding device, the u.s.

30. steve: behind a wall. >> maybe texas, we will see. maybe not at jane fonda's house. now she says she's sorry, kind of. ainsley: democrats are hoping for a blue wave in november but they may end up wiping out we have the numbers to prove it coming up next. advil liqui-gels

steve: november midterm elections right around the proverbial corner many democrats are anticipating a blue wave to push the democrats to a corporal -- congressional majority but our next guest says not too fast, pollster and research analytics chris wilson from dc, chris, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: what do you mean it might not be a wipe-out? >> i will turn to georgia, democrats point today guillermo as one of the prime

opportunities, i will point to texas where republican turnout was up and democrat turn-up was lowest since 1920, the idea of enthusiasm that's going to manifest isn't playing out in primaries, there's a lot of excitement right after president trump was elected on the left and a lot of democrats have seen, people like ocasio-cortez, they are pushing the party to far to the left that makes it far more likely to be excited on what they've got and prospects may be moving forward. steve: the further the party moves to the left, you think about the person voting for them. >> right now they are trying to control losses in the senate because they are down in so many place where is they have incumbents and best opportunity to flip voter, highly-educated, suburban, white female turned off by donald trump's twitter account or rhetoric, what they are seeing is turned off by the

rhetoric coming out of the maxine watters and whenever the party has moved so far to the left but even better, steve, they are not nominating moderates. >> it'll be interesting to see, historically the party in power doesn't do so well in the midterms after a first-time white house as president trump has that particular hand right now. i know right now they need 23 house seats for democratic majority, what do you think about that number? >> i can walk one by one and you walk-through and analyze every single district, i would say they are likely to pick up in high single digits and low single digits but they've taken some races off the table because of who they nominated. like in nebraska, they had a

good chance to nominate former congressman and instead they nominated a socialist. steve: chris, question real fast, how does president trump gin up the republican voters to vote for republicans? >> i looked him and watched him and went to north dakota where i went to work for the congressman and ran for senate there and in montana and every time he goes in places he pushes the numbers. he's to popular, he can help pick up seats in west virginia, the ten trump democrats states. steve: he will go down and make another campaign -- >> florida. steve: chris wilson, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you. steve: win to carry gun in public dana loesch after the ruling, she's coming up

>> we are back to fox news alert, rooky cop shot and killed after suspect grabs an officer's weapon and opens fire. steve: moments ago officers leading procession to honor the trooper, anita in arizona is live with what led to the deadly shooting, anita. >> in arizona state department trooper has not been killed in line of duty since may 2013, very solemn and sad day for troopers this morning, the body of trooper was escorted from the hospital here a suburb of phoenix, taken to the medical examiner's officer. trooper tyler shot and killed attempt to go get a suspect off

of a valley freeway. the trooper was brought to hospital, body taken to county medical examiner's earlier this morning saluted by comrades honored as hero. here is what we know about what unfolded, it all started 10:20 last night. several 911 calls, suspect of a man throwing objects to a vehicle, we had one trooper arrive and subsequently two more troopers along with with avandale police officers, there was a fight at which point a trooper lost his service weapon, the suspect was able to pick up that weapon and fire it twice hitting two of the troopers, trooper killed and we had another trooper who was shot and expected to be okay.

no other information has been released about the suspect this good morning. highway remains open. steve: anita, thank you very much, terrible news. meanwhile changing gears in a surprising move the liberal ninth circuit court of appeals that the right for individuals to carry firearm in public is protected, is protected under second amendment. brian: good news for our guest, second ruling in favor of second amendment, radio host from the dana show, dana loesch, are you surprised that the ninth district delivered the verdict? >> yes, actually i am. three-judge panel, if it were to come back before the ninth and i'm really a little bit more nervous to see what they would determine ultimately but it is a step in the right direction. the individual in this case

george young, vietnam veteran applied to get a concealed carry, applied to get a license for a firearm in hawaii and conceal carry was prohibited, they didn't want him to open carry and this was back in 2011 and winding through the courts this entire time, we will see what the court determines in review but it was interesting that the judge of this case, he was guided by heller and two huge cases and second amendment rights and this goes a long way affirming that we have the right to defend ourselves not just at home but where we are out and about. ainsley: what do you think of the restaurant employees in the california community that could face jail time for handing out plastic straws to customers? steve: because they are destroying the world. >> yes, this is what's crazy about this. i was looking at recent law in california and how they determine, for instance, if you

have aids and engage in intercourse with another individual without telling them, without informing them or donate blood without telling people that you have hiv, then that penalty for that was reduced from a felony to misdemeanor just in the past year or so by governor brown, so it's six nopts prison, the exact same punishment as it is giving straws out people in santa barbara. that's the punishment. they think that giving straws out is apparently as dangerous as what i just described when they reduced the penalties. and this is also per straw, so you're looking at a thousand dollar fine or six nopts jail per infraction, if you go to six and hand out six straws you get 3 years in jail or 6,000-dollar fine. it's insane. steve: people have been talking about paper straw and plastic straws because a lot of places are banning the straw, it's

destroying the world. there are the stories out there about how much waste they produce and we had a fact in the teleprompter a minute ago, there it is right here. straws represent only .02% of the amount of the 9 million tons of plastic waste that's estimated to go into the ocean each year. i've also heard a lot of this waste is not from the united states but instead it comes from asia. >> true, we are the ones who are always apparently called upon to save the world and we are not responsible for this and also when i look -- have you guys seen the plastic lid that is they are looking to design to replace straws, pretty much plastic, the exact same kind of plastic as you would with the straw. it's insane, just throw your straws in the trash can. we don't need a government to dictate to us -- ainsley: what about forks, plastic forks? >> that's a good question.

government decide. steve: dana, always a pleasure. >> good to see y'all. brian: start with guns and end up with straws. ainsley: some people say both are just as dangerous. >> yes. ainsley: jane fonda earned the name for protest, and now she says she's sorry, sort of. >> plus todd piro having breakfast in louisiana. ainsley: way down there. >> that's me in jeans and blue shirt, if you thought the folks we spoke to in the first couple of hours were good, wait till you hear the folks we have coming up after the break, more from the rowdy butter crisp diner when "fox & friends" returns. note ♪ snroo l send him off thinking you've done everything for his well-being. but meningitis b progresses quickly and can be fatal,

but so is the spending. >> what's remarkable to me is that the states literally are bankrupt and the people that continue to support politicians, brian, for whatever reason they won't own up to it. i have a friend of mine, police officer in los angeles, i was talking to him about a week, we talked about san francisco, homeless people, it's also in los angeles, bob, the money that's being spent on things in our state that it's not that it's irrelevant but the disproportion being spent and we have homeless people and nobody is doing anything about it. it's remarkable they don't up to it. brian: average connecticut resident has $53,000 in taxes, california 22,000, illinois 50,000, that's their burden on daily basis, you have politicians promise the world but they don't tell you how they are going to pay for that

promise. >> the thing that bothers me, when you sit down and try to have intelligent conversation with those on the left and you try to say, this is what's going on in your state, that is where the money is being spent, these are the promises that were made and there's just -- there's a complete disconnect as it relates to trying to have a logical conversation as to why and how the money is being spent and those people that you've elected are spending it. they just -- they just -- they're such a division in our country as we know that regardless even if you showed it in black and white, they won't unup to it and still reelect these people that spend the money. it's remarkable to me. brien: absolutely, universal health care, it's $31 trillion, i want guarantied pay, who will pay for that? you can't -- you cannot have welfare for everybody, it's just not the way capitalist system works, there are other systems that might be better for you. hey, if you want to see a great show watch the property man
