>> the president tweeting we have a very nasty and contentious business relationship. >> democrats take aim at the booming economy. >> president trump is going to take a lot of credit for these good numbers. don't believe him. >> the democrats, all they have is trump derangement syndrome and they don't want to talk about all the great things this president is doing. >♪ should have been a counsel ♪ wearing my six shooter ♪ riding my pony on a cattle drive. steve: if we were counsels pete: we wouldn't be sitting on the couch right now. ainsley: i always thought the rovedio was just for farmers. it's huge. big country music. pete: i have never been to one. steve: they have a big one

here. ainsley: put it on the bucket list. pete: it's on the list. steve: brian is off this week. good to have you. for everyone who showed up at fox fan day over the weekend. thank you very much for coming. we will show you highlights later on. pete: it was a good time. steve: pete, you were busy this weekend. the president was -- his thumbs must b eax exhausted. ainsley: he is tweeting again. pete: he said might not get to wall funding this year might be 2019 and president didn't like that. ainsley: the president said look, i need another $5 billion. the goal is 25 billion. have you already given me some but we want to continue to build the wall we need the 5 billion. they walked out of the room with the assumption with him might be okay waiting after the november election. that wasn't the case after reading the twitter account.

steve: he thought about the deal that they selected whoa what the heck are they talking about? he tweeted this out i would be willing to shut down the government if the democrats do not give us the votes for border security, which includes the wall. must get rid of lottery, catch and release, et cetera. and finally go to the system of immigration based on merit. we need great people coming into our country. so, the president, once again has made it very clear he wants to build the wall. but, for some reason, he cannot get it through congress. i mean, the house has passed a couple of things. the senate tried last time. i think he only got 38 or 3 votes in all. there is some frustration because he is 19 months in and he cannot build the wall. pete: i feel like now is the moment to get people on the record. so they have had some votes on abolish ice or support ice, which is pretty straightforward. same thing with the wall. put people on record. make them vote now. do you want to fund this border wall or not? and then go to the voters with it. i think ultimately that kind

of showdown may be at least shut down or doesn't does energize the president's base. because they want the wall. ainsley: saying is he bullying. going to shut down the government if he doesn't get the wall. he said he wanted the wall from the very beginning. people went to the polls because they like his immigration stance. shear maxine waters. >> this president is a bully. he will try to intimidate all of us. is he not going to shut down anything. is he not going to shut down the government and we are not going to be intimidated by his luv bluffing and his bullying. steve: she feels and democrats -- a number of republicans as well feel the president is simply bluffing. but, can we take you back to march of this past year. pete, you were actually here that morning. that afternoon. ainsley: good memory. steve: that appear when the president signed that gigantic omnibus spending

bill. he was so angry that there was no money in there for the wall and he said he would never ever ever sign a stink bomb bill like that again. watch this. >> a matter of senator i havnationalsecurity i have signs massive omnibus bill. there is a lot of things i am unhappy about in this bill there are a lot of things that we shouldn't have had in this bill but we were in a sense forlszed if we want to build our military, we were forced to have. there are some things we should have in the bill. but i say to congress i will never sign another bill like this again. i'm not going to do it again. pete: i do remember that press conference. because we weren't sure when he walked up to the podium whether he was going to announce that he was signing it or vetoing it. ainsley: that's when he said he was going to shut down the government and he didn't and walked back. he said i want line item power. say i like this part and not that part.

pete: never again. steve: referring to northwesterly again sign one of those great big omnibus bills. ainsley: everything put in there. steve: it was just a mess. here's the thing he won't be signing that kind of bill. right now going through regular order. negotiated. close to passing nine of 12 propositions. s12appropriations. there won't be a big omnibus thing. he won't sign one of those again. he won't get any money for the wall it looks like right now unless something happens. ainsley: government is funded through the end of september. something has to be done. the senate is working to finish 9 out of 12 spending bills. the house only passed six of annual funding bills. and they have gone on recess now for the month of august. pete: otherwise known as vacation for the whole month. people who hear him and understand what he has been emphasizing. i don't know what the 9 of the 12 are. i have looked at it for one of those nine not to be

funding for the wall is eminently frustrating who knows that's the president's biggest priority. steve: one funding of the wall department of national security. that's the sticking points. the democrats do not want to give the president what he wants regarding immigration. ainsley: problems is in the senate not the house. steve: ultimately it's a problem in both. whatever the house gives the senate, nonetheless, it's just one of those things. all those members of congress who are out on vacation, recess right now, you have got to figure they will get their ear chewed off i just heard the president say you are not going to do anything about the wall? what's up with that? i thought we sent you to do something about the wall. a lot of people don't want the wall. want a daca deal. that's part of the mix as well. pete: is he willing to make the deal give me the wall in exchange for that wall. ainsley: give me the wall. give me my big beautiful wall. steve: let's talk about

this. ever since that primary here in new york city 14th district in june, everybody has been talking about the new face of the democratic party. and there she is right there are alexandria ocasio-cortez. what's interesting is the more we hear about her and her big ideas about tuition-free college and medicare for all and socialism. ainsley: gutting the military. pete: $18 minimum wage. steve: her math doesn't add up. nonetheless, you listen to the media, they think she is the future. listen to this. >> big unknown i think is whether the democratic and liberal energy in the country right now will actually translate into electoral victory. >> our primary contest in new york with alexandria ocasio-cortez that really suggest as level of participation in, you know, races where many voters didn't participate before. is she and others like her taking the party too far to the left? >> frankly, the republican

has gone so far to the right that. so things that candidates like alexandria ocasio-cortez are calling for i think democrats really should consider doubling down on their base. >> the broadest context, what she is part is of not just a progressive weave. wave, peak wave. a lot of that gets to the women in this election. pete: a lot of talk of wave he is, the future of the democratic party is socialism in this new socialist from the bronx. if you actually look at voter turnout in the bronx on june 24th that primary that put her in the forefront, have you got over 200,000 registered democrats there. but only 27,000 actually came out to vote. that's a 13% voter turnout rate. i'm not a matt m mathematician. absolute wave for socialism. ainsley: if you lived in that area and don't like the

way it turned out you can't complain only 13% voted. i bet joe crowley is kicking himself now, the number four democrat in washington and he lost to her. didn't really campaign very much. didn't show up for the debate and she comes out of nowhere and beats him. steve: other component is it was a primary in june. people are not motivated in june to go vote. the closer you get to november. of course, most of the people who do vote show up in november for a general. the primary the harder it is. pete: good for her, ultimately. a stale status quo politician took his district for granted didn't campaign. didn't work. she went in and said i will relate to the people. i might be a socialist but they want something other than this guy over there and she won. can't fault her for that. steve: because she beat joe crowley the establishment person, all the people who are establishment in congress are wondering i wonder if that's a preview of coming attractions. pete: maybe we should be

sorvellists too. ainsley: some are saying he should run as an independent and run against her. i don't know if he came out and said that's the case but that was the rumor. steve: a lot going on. gizelleian joins us now with headlines. jillian: still following the wildfires out west. get you caught up on what's going on there wildfires are growing by the hour across northern california. the fires which erupted one week ago, taking six lives including two firefighters. we just learned the name of the second. brian hughes, losing his life near yosemite national park. a along with a woman and two great grandchildren. tens of thousands of people forced to flee their homes to safety. sacramento bee two people suspected of looting evacuated homes were arrested. desiree facing first degree murder charges. adam miller died a week after being shot in the head responding to an armed robbery.

republican representative martina white. good morning to you, martina. >> good morning. thanks for having me. steve: what's up with the mayor out there. >> shocking the mayor was willing to end a contract that was actually helping to keep our community safe. federal immigration officials were using this system to access information about people who were previously arrested who committed a crime other than being here illegally. steve: ultimately, what is his end game here. >> public officials and activists make a claim that victims and witnesses are not able to conform. but the reality is that they most definitely can come forward if they feel they are a victim of crime. actually federal immigration officials provide an incentive to do so. they have a visa that they offer to people here undocumented that may be a victim of crime. they can come forward and report the crime and actually obtain potentially an opportunity to get legal status. steve: you would think he

would be for that. >> you would think. in 2010, i mean, the rationale that the mayor is currently using in 2010, the old mayor, michael nutter actually excluded the sharing of information about witnesses and victims. so, it's really not a good rationale, if anything. steve: no kidding. ice has issued a statement. and they say this. ice is deeply disappointed with the city's decision, despite these attempts to obstruct ice's lawful efforts to apprehend criminal aliens. the ailing remains committed to its efforts to uphold public safety in the city of philadelphia. it does sound like the mayor is part of the abolish ice, you know, they can't do anything right movement. >> i think he actually stated that he wanted to abolish ice and he didn't even provide any kind of explanation as to why he was willing to just completely get rid of it entirely and not replace it with any alternative or do reforms. it was merely just a statement, obviously, to cater to folks who aren't

necessarily the folks of pennsylvania. steve: for you it's a matter of safety. >> safety is the responsibility law enforcement doing this job every single day have the resources they need in order to keep our community safe. steve: we will see what happens. state representative from the great state of pennsylvania martina white. thank you very much. >> my pleasure. steve: coming up, democratic socialist alexandria ocasio-cortez knows exactly how to pay for all that free stuff she wants to give everybody. >> we verse the tax bill but raise our corporate tax rate to 28%. if we do those two things and also close some of those loopholes, that's $2 trillion right there. steve: can that idea actually work? a debate is coming up next. plus a bridesmaid begs for refund on plane ticket after getting fired by the bride. you know what? the airline gave it to her.

cortez, of course, the democratic socialist is the future of our party. there is this identifiable trend and very disturbing because as we know socialism has been failed wherever tried. cuba, venezuela, the soviet union. we must reject it. we must stop this. and it's a boozing strategy for democrats. ainsley: wendy, how do you feel about a third of democrats saying they want to replace nancy pelosi with a socialist, especially if you read kayleigh's article or op-ed, it goes into the great detail about what some of these communist socialist country what is they do to the people. >> yeah. i think it's a really interesting strategy by the democrats but what i believe that we're doing here is we are using socialism as a pejorative in the article written by kayleigh. socialism has a lot of variation. we are not talking about the marxism theories of let's say china, cuba or the soviet union but rather the socialism scene in denmark or switzerland or other nordic countries. what these candidates are trying to say here they want

to have equal rights and opportunities for all people when it comes to healthcare and education and housing. if you look at one of the greatest movements, which is the $15 minimum wage, that's been around since 1938. that's nothing new here. what is new is people are saying they are tired of the united states giving to the haves and taking away from the have notes. they want to make a difference for the american people. ainsley: kayleigh, how do you respond to that when she says it's a variation of sosmism, it's not marxism and communist manifesto. >> that's the trick they are using calling it democratic socialism. it doesn't change the fact that's what it is. it's socialism. i'm glad went were mentioned denmark. you look at denmark the middle class can't afford cars there because there is 180% tax on new cars. sweden bernie sanders often touts the head of identify kia from sweden had to leave the country because of the owner's taxation. everywhere it's been tried so-called democratic socialism. israel in the first few

decades. post independence independent i can't it's failed. they are had to have imf bailouts and bank rescue neforts this country. it does not work. if they want to promise this the voters will choose the party of lincoln over the party of lennon. ainsley: wendy, i you worked so hard for your career. if you read kayleigh's article it talks about free college, government mandated wages, universal basic income. weave had a campus reform go out to a college and asking the kids how do you expect to pay all of this. he had love the free college. they like the wage to be the same across the board. but then the reporter asks the students how do you expect to pay for this? well the government will pay for it then the reporter says but you are the government. those are your tax dollars that are paying for it how do you expect to pay for it and knowing you, we are friends. i know have you worked so hard for your career. don't you want to teach that to your kids and not you can sit back and the government is going to take care of you? >> absolutely. you know, we are not talking about handouts here.

what we're saying is we want to have an equal playing field for all people. unfortunately, based on our education system that is not the truth. one thing i find really interesting is this whole notion of how far are we going to pay for it we know if we go to single pair healthcare we will cut out $400 billion alone on administrative costs there are ways for us to work around. this what's important is for the american people to have a government, to have a country that they can trust and believe that no matter where you come from, what, you know, family you are born into or what community you live in you too have a shot at the american dream. that's a right that should be granted to all people. >> ainsley is right to bring up the price it's 1.4 trillion for single pair, 3.6 trillion for free college. the problem with socialism you eventually run out of people's money as margaret thatcher famously said. ainsley: thanks, ladies. >> you are welcome. ainsley: ruth bader justice made a big prediction about her future. five year plan coming up.

don't understand what the guy is doing. >> well, they don't understand the new rules, steve. i have been sailing this over and over new sheriff is donald trump. the old rule was you never met with people who buy ink by the barrel. referring, of course, to the media. donald trump said here's the new rules. you never met with a guy who doesn't buy ink because he tweets for free. those are the new rules. he is completely exposed them for the democratic h haktivists they are. they can't get out of their. it's to their detriment. they are feeling the impact in their own wallets. they get what's going on because they see it it's real to them. may not be real to the coastal elites but real to them. >> dan, very much so. the president tweeting about the media yesterday. he said. this he said when the media driven insane by their trump

derangement syndrome reveals internal deliberations of our government it true puts the lives of many, not just journalists at risk. very unpatriotic. free document press comes with a response tobility report the news. it was also revealed that the president met recently with the publish everywhere of the "new york times," as the president calls the failing "new york times." this is what that publisher said after his meeting with the president. he said i told the president directly that i thought that his language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous. i warned that it was putting lives at risk. so the publisher of the "new york times" says the president is putting lives at risk. the president pointing throughout is a patriotic duty that journalists should have. where does this go? >> i think there is a couple things going on here, pete. i have been do you go a lot of the research on the russia gate, spy gate. however you want to refer to it. there is clearly a leak operation going on within the federal government to expose leakers. we have already seen it with the prosecution of james wolf. so this is not a mystery. not a conspiracy theory. stuff is actually happening.

donald trump i think knows a lot more than he is obviously tweeting out. and he understands what i'm getting at how willingly the press will take national security information even if some of it is part of an operation to expose them. so, he is probably thinking to himself i can't believe. this like these guys will prohibit this stuff even though they can't verify the authenticity of it and it hurts us? this is serious stuff. he always know as little bit more than these press folks. it's interesting how they constantly under estimate him. and he keeps winning and dunking on them every day. steve: new rules. dan bongino, thank you very much for joining us today. pete: thank you. ainsley: hand it over to jillian, thanks, dan. hand it over to jillian for headlines. jillian: congratulations on you're cookbook, steve. cannot wait to get it. ainsley: me either. jillian: get you caught up on the stories we are following. while democrats call on abolish ice many refuse to answer direct questions about why. >> i want to ask you about that. what about that move left?

17 years we have been very focused for obvious reasons on terrorism. pete, the real challenge for you and i for our entire generation for us as a country for the foreseeable future is china. their economy is dwarfing anything of the imagination. xi has consolidated power. we joke and call him emperor for life. set most powerful chinese leader in the past 45 years his ambitions for himself is not only on the level of move who murdered millions of people i think he sees himself as emperor type status. he said about four years before trump was elected he started talking about the great rejuvenation of china. he was essentially saying that he wanted to make china great again. so xi and china's ambition is not just to be a global player. they want the united states out of asia. they want to rule the world again. that he was the ambition. pete: you are exactly right.

they believe they have been left out the last couple hundred years and the world order was built to push them out. he gave a series of speeches about the chinese dreem it has nothing to do with freedom and capitalism. everything to do with power and control. we see it in the south china sea. some people say no, they just want to be a regional player is this about regional autonomy? or are they looking to be the top player in the world? >> when xi came to power at love people thought he was going to be a liberal reformer and thought, you know, perhaps his because his father had been kicked out of his position. lots of internal chinese politics. he has really embraced the characteristics of mao. he getting rid of the corruption. he was looking to get rid of corruption which means purging the political leadership and so i believe that his ambitions which you look at everything he has written and he said when you look -- we will get into it this week what they are

doing with the military and economics. something we will get into on wednesday. the u.s. marshal plan on steroids around the world. pete: to expand chinese influence. >> the "new york times" had a piece what china has been doing in latin america. they have been doing this quietly around the world. the russians make a big force and display whenever they are in the middle east the chinese do this very quietly. they have infested heavily for the past 15 years in latin america, in africa. they are looking to remake the global playing field in their favor looking to change the rules of society. as we go over this the whole week, pete, i think people will be surprised what see what china and xi's plans are. pete: incredibly important. >> generational challenge, pete. pete: thank you very much for our time. our series continues tomorrow as we examine china's military and how it stacks up for america forces more on that tomorrow. coming up, wire are the

steve: three of them, indeed. pete is in, brian is out this week good to have you. pete: appreciate being here. i always love hanging out with you guys. steve: let's bring in newt gingrich. is he a fox news contributor. he is the producer of the first american. a new documentary on the life and leg gales of george washington. available now on amazon prime video. mr. speaker, good morning to you. ainsley: we will have to watch that very interesting. >> good to be with you. ainsley: good to see you. steve: what did you make of the president over the weekend, mr. speaker, saying i might have to shut the government down essentially because i'm not going to get the money i need for the wall? >> well, look, i think he is very committed to protecting americans. i think that everything they have seen about sanctuary cities, about ms-13, about illegal criminals. strengthen his feeling that this is a legitimate national security issue.

and the contrast, frankly, could become very vivid. every democrat in the senate has signed on as co-sponsor to senator feinstein's border bill. if they end up in october in a fight democratic party wants open borders with anybody coming in and republican party that wants to protect americans and control immigration, i suspect the democrats lose that fight by a very, very big margin. maybe 2 to 1. pete: mr. speaker the conventional wisdom amongst polsters, pundits, political folks, you can't have a show down right before the election. it's going to make the president look bad. republicans control the house and the senate, could it cut the other way. could it as you suggest demonstrate how committed this president is to following through on his policies and how far the left has gone in opening these borders? >> >> look, if the only issue narrowly drawn is the wall, i don't know that it's a winner. but if the issue is does the united states have the right to control immigration, do

we have the right to block murderers, thugs. ms-13 is a gang dedicated to torture, rape, and murder. this is not hyperbole, this is a fact. sanctuary cities increased danger of crime. 84% of the country, 84% agree that sanctuary cities increase the cost of crime. so, if the president gets in a where the issue is not just the wall but the issue is a democratic party committed to open borders and wide open migration with no controls, versus a republican party trying to protect you from criminals, i think that's a dead loser for the democrats in october. ainsley: the president ran on this. the wall is nothing new. this is something that he has wanted and his constituents have wanted. you were speaker of the house. what needs to happen to get it through because the majority of americans, at least the ones who voted for him, they wanted this. >> first of all, i think the president ought to indicate

that he will sign something which is a down payment. then the democrats have so say think are so opposed to mecketting americans' borders they won't make a down payment. if this is the fight he wants he has got to go to the country. he has got to explain it tie it to illegal criminals and to people who we know so around the country and find these intsdz people who have been killed, people who have been tortured. people who have been raped. you look at the total volume of fentanyl and of opioids that come in across the border. and i think the president is make a very strong case. if that's the case, the question is who is more radical? is it more radical to want to have a wall or more radical to want to have open borders? if he can make that clear enough, this will in the end in october be very expensive for the democrats. steve: that could actually

be some dialogue we are going to have. meanwhile, mr. speaker, on friday, the government released a number, our economy in the second quarter of this year grew at g.d.p. level of 4.1%. and that is president suggested that next quarter is going to to be even better. what's going on here? long-term pattern is clear. best series of quarters, i think, since 2005 and 2006. his policies are working. fewer regulations, less government control from washington, lower tax rates president who believes in business and entrepreneurship. the exact opposite of barack obama. somebody who goes around the world trying to sell american goods. if you watch him, when he travels, is he constantly trying to get countries to buy more aircraft. boeing now is talking about

up to 1,000 airplanes a year they are going to be building. that is an enormous export flow of money back into the united states. pete: yeah. what is it that he understands about the straddle of jobs and the economy? i mean, really. the left has lost total sight of this. how so? >> you have a whole bunch of democrats who are either college professors or lawyers who don't have a clue who have never created a job. who have a theory that they call socialism, which is basically big government bureaucrats running your life. they openly despise business and attack business all the time. and then they are surprised that that doesn't encourage people to create jobs. then you get a brand new president who is a businessman himself, an entrepreneur, a job creator. he gets the process. he believes in you keeping the money you create, so you actually have an interest in going out. small businesses spring up all over the country.

we were just out visiting my mother-in-law in wisconsin. every small town you go through has signs up help wanted. and i think this is such a huge change from the obama years no economic growth. the obama team did a great job if you love food stamps and terrible job if you love jobs. the truth is the trump team is opposite. they want welfare reform. vocational education. they want people to go to work. and they are creating an environment where small businesses look around and say this is great. if i make money can i keep it if i go to work i'm not filling out forms for some washington bureaucrat dealing with customers and production line. it's a very positive moment in american economic history. ainsley: let's talk about supreme court. brett kavanaugh meeting with democratic senators this week. also new this morning, justice ginsburg ruth bader gibbsburg is going to stay on the high court for at least five more years.

your thoughts? >> well, first of all, i wish her well. and if you are a liberal democrat as she is, you obviously would prefer not to give donald j. trump another seat on the court. i think that's perfectly reasonable. i hope she has years of good health and continues to serve. second, i think that mitch mcconnell is playing this beautifully. he has done this whole judge thing august the way through as masterfully as anybody in the senate's history. what he is doing is setting up the democrats and saying, look, you want to stall us. i saw an article that says their strategy is to stall. mcconnell is saying you would rather have a vote on this in october and put all 10 of your senators from states that trump carried having to decide how to voted in october? be my guest. they are going to get kavanaugh through. is he going to be confirmed. it may happen as early as september. i think from mcconnell's standpoint, trying to pick up a few extra seats in the

senate, he doesn't mind putting them through the ringer. but if schumer wants to play games, i think mcconnell is going to let him play games, and that's actually going continue to crease the price to the democrats when, in fact, these democrats -- they have all got the same problem. do i vote with the folks back home, which is yes, or do i vote with all the liberals who give me money, which is no. they are all hang there in anxiety. steve: you just heard the prediction from the former speaker, mr. kavanaugh is going to get through. newt, thank you for joining us on this monday. ainsley: thank you. >> great to be with you. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian who has headlines. jillian: good monday morning. begin with a fox news alert. wildfires growing by the hour across northern california. just look. the wildfires which erupted one week ago taking six lives, including two firefighters. we just learned the name of the second. brian hughes losing his life near yosemite national park. also found dead a 70-year-old woman and two great grandchildren. tens of thousands of people forced to plea their homes.

steve: once upon a time most americans used to be curious where things came from and how things worked. ainsley: right. steve: what happened to that curiosity? is it still out there today the way it was years ago? pete: a little bit of the common sense the glue in american society. great podcast ben shapiro show. he had a guest on mike rowe, you know him, dirty jobs. we all love him. mike rowe had some pretty interesting things to say about where we are and a country and what it has to say about us. >> with regard to the skills gap and with regard to any gap, it's all just symptomatic of a series of what i would call disconnects. we have become slowly and inexorably and profoundly disconnected from a lot of basic things when i grew up i was really connected to where my food comes from and

where my energy comes from basic history, basic curiosity, the things that fundamentally allow us to assume a level of appreciation that in my view is the best way to bridge those gaps. when we start losing our appreciation for those things, the gap deepens. and i think the gap right now is -- well, it's extraordinary. i think there is great common sense that is still alive and well in a lot of people. and i think that as they look at the headlines, they are frustrated and to be fair, i think people on the coast are coming at it from their own bias. and they are frustrated. so a lot of frustrated people are talking really loud past each other and a lot of truths are inconvenient for a lot of people. it just gets noisy. steve: just gets noisy. that's where we are right now. when he talked about people don't have a curiosity.

i don't know because you are a little younger than i am, pete. i remember back in the olden days when i was in high school i had a great curiosity on how my car worked. how it ran. because i didn't have enough money to fix it. you know, take it to mr. good wrench because i had to do it myself. i figured out how everything on the car worked. and that gave me greater appreciation for trying to figure out how everything worked. pete: i actually regret i never took shop. i don't know anything about an engine. steve: i learned how to weld. pete: you know that and appreciate it gives you bigger investment. ainsley: i wish i had learned, too. my mom always said don't learn how to cut the grass because then you have to learn it if you learn. never learn. dad was always doing it dad didn't ever want us to get close to the lawn mower he was scared it was going to be too dangerous with the blades. steve: yeah. ainsley: i like mike rowe he always says sometimes it's nice when you complete your project and you work your hands and building is and hold it and see and it look

at it. pete: assume a level appreciation. gratitude and appreciation for the big -- not just the big things, but the small things, the things that really matter in your life. steve: one of the things that matters is a job. of course, is he all about, there are a lot of jobs out there you do not need to go to college for. and to the point that newt gingrich made a little while ago. he was out in wisconsin not long ago there were so many hip wanted signs. more jobs available than people to take them. ainsley: also be tolerant of other people. when you live in the big cities or live on the coast. you have to remember there are people in middle america that are providing for your family and building things and growing crops and things that we need and take for granted every single day. be a little bit more tolerant and learn what other people do. pete: when you get your latte. ainsley: remember, the cream came from the cow in middle america. steve: there you go. 7:20 now in no. let us know what you think about that. actress ann hathaway weighing in to social

spirit of fear but sound mind. i do recognize there are some who are concerned with racism actually a lot of concerned about racism. some have a fear about what can happen. i any in chicago, which is where i'm from and which we will talk about today there are people that walk down the street in constant fear of losing their lives. so, that is my element that i get from this post what can i accept. steve: let's talk a little bit about your op-ed that he wrote for foxnews.com. i know a number of months ago you called for the president to provide help. the president himself at one point said he talked about sending in the feds. but now you look at the number of people who have been shot and killed 1607 people shot in chicago so far this year. that is a jaw-dropping number. and this is very personal to you. tell us about your brother. >> so, last year during

memorial day my younger brother was in a car on the south side of chicago. when two men walked up to the car and schott the car 25 times. you know, when i think about the fact that we can be on television right now, discussing my little brother in past tense, it just brings tears to my eyes. therefore, considering the fact that i'm blessed to work for the number one network in cable for news i can do nothing but put out this op-ed and talk about what's going on in chicago. the pain that many people feel. the fact that kanye wrote a song about this in 2011. genocide black-on-black murders. how can it not be. yale did a study in 2015 where they noted that in chicago for every 100,000

residents there is one white person shot on average. 28 hispanic and 113 black people shot on average. when considering that fact and we have almost 3 million people in chicago, we know that the mayor of chicago, rahm has been completely and totally ineffective in bringing about committee. i'm sorry. i'm so sorry. steve: this is so personal to you. >> substantial change to the city of chicago. >> gianno. >> so, yeah, it is very personal to me. >> it is. i mean, you were talking about the day they shot up the car your brother was. in your brother survived but his best friend died. >> he no longer lives in chicago. his best friend died in his arms bloody there are so many people who experience this so many families. daily black bodies littered in the street. i have said before rahm

emanuel could care bless. black lives don't matter to rahm emanuel. black votes matter to rahm emanuel. hispanic votes matter to rahm emanuel. i'm asking the president of these united states to get involved, absolutely. i would love for him to order the u.s. attorney general, jeff sessions, and the fbi director to come up with a comprehensive plan to solve this crisis because right now there is many people who feel that they live in a war torn city the fact of the matter is walking down the street you could lose your life. we see people from infant to person watering their street being shot. in the city of chicago. we can no longer wait for the leaders there. we need the president to step in and fund programs for the youth who believe they have nothing to live for at this point. we need sincere help and we need it today.

steve: something has got to give you are absolutely right, gianno. for folks who would like to read your op-ed go to "fox & friends." thank you very much. all right it is exactly 7:30 now in new york city. maxine waters has a warning for the president. >> the tax scam and what that's going to do for our deficit in this country. it's going to be reversed. look out, president. you are in trouble. steve: and she is not done yet. plus, could michael cohen really have doctored that secret recording with the president? the president's attorney, rudy giuliani, going to weigh in coming up next. ♪ the boys are back in town ♪ the boys are back in town ♪ the boys are the back in town ♪ this tookus. to take care of any messy situations. and put irritation in its place.

didn't have the money. i paid for it myself. it wasn't a campaign contribution. now, cuomo didn't know it was being recorded which is pretty outrageous. went so far to hide his cell phone and pretend he wasn't recording it lanny davis goes on and said cohen never intended to deceive. if i tell you i'm not recording, and i record, haven't i intended to deceive? in fact deceive? that may be a punishable offense for all those morons out there. i'm not talking about the audience. i'm talking about the idiots they have seen on the screen. ainsley: reports they have been doctored. >> no doubts one was cut off. take the one that was played numerous times last week. it goes something like this there has got to be financing. the president is very surprised which indicates he didn't know about this transaction. financing. what do you mean financing? cohen says we have got to pay. and he said not by cash. interruption, cohen says, no, no, no. but the and trump says check. immediately it's cut off. steve: click. >> next thing you hear is don jr. musting talking to don jr.

but that's erased, also. so, yeah he erased them. sure. the expert is going through them and trying to figure out a few things is this a recording of a recording? did he cut it off at the time or go back into his laboratory or whatever the hell he had and cut it off? pete: what does it say? all these recordings? 183 tapes. only one of which includes the president? >> pretty strange, isn't it? 183 recordings that we have. there are imnumerous measurable recording fing other people having to do with trump, the trump organization. which will give you an idea what a scoundrel he was. i never knew this about him. up until a month ago two, months ago i would have said pretty nice things about him. my opinion of him has turned on a dime when he found out he was a lawyer recording his client. fundamentally that's a disbarrable offense. ainsley: he can't be disbarred because you waived the right. you listened to all of them and said. >> we waived it only he released them.

transaction. steve: the president? >> the president did not. and the other people at the meeting that he claims he had without the president about it say he was never there. and there are at least four separate witnesses who say that against a guy who has been kind of proven to be one of the biggest liars in america. pete: i read your body language on this almost. come on. how much more -- >> -- this is the theater of the absurd. the president is innocent. hasn't done anything wrong has been proven over and over again. there is not a single stitch of evidence of collusion. he didn't have anything to do with russians. he made no deals with the russians. he didn't get elected because of the russians. they may have colluded with -- 13 of them. 1 of them. watch the americans and watch the russians collude. they do it for a living and do other things. he wasn't involved in it the obstruction thing is crazy. he had a trite fire comey. that's what it is all about. he had a right to say to comey give flynn a break there was no investigation at the time. not only that he didn't tell them don't investigate them.

don't prosecute them. he asked him to exercise his prosecutorial. great man with a great war record. take the man's whole life into consideration. either go easy on him or maybe this one can you pass on. do you sometimes and you don't. ainsley: michael cohen, what's in it for him? why is he doing this. >> michael cohen is afraid of going to jail. here's what i'm at a loss. i don't know what he is afraid of going to jail about. he shouldn't be afraid of going to jail for anything. some of the things did he with us but he didn't. he didn't it commit any crime with president trump or nor did he commit a crime around president trump that i can discern there are a lot of materials more than concern us in boxes and everything else that concern his taxing medallions, his bank loans. i have no reason to believe they are illegal. i also have no reason to believe to believe the government didn't have probable cause to raid him. so something -- there is something there we don't know. steve: you know, some people, rudyy, are looking in and it's all kind of just

how about trying to create the new crime. no collusion. now we have obstruction by tweet. whoa. i don't think the congress obstruction happens this way. hey, there's a gun. it doesn't happen by -- he has 80 million followers? pete: 80 million more than me. ainsley: what did you if i think of the philly's mayor dancing because of sanctuary city. >> i don't know whether he had a drink or take. look as little wacky. what kind of condition is philly in? i don't know. i heard the thing about chicago. that's a tragedy city. i don't know about philadelphia. i like philadelphia. ainsley: there he is dancing. >> i don't know what kind of condition it's in. pete: you know what it takes to put a city in good condition after you what did with broken windows and policing and cracking down. if you are celebrating not working with law enforcement.

>> celebrating illegality, giving everybody the wrong signal. this mayor shouldn't be celebrating violating having the city violate the law, even if it's civil in nature or even if they think a locality can defy a federal law constitutionally whacky. you see them out there. it's all political. i mean, instead of being a mayor, is he being like a silly clown of a politician. it's true. steve: there you go. all right. rudy, thank you very much. >> thanks. steve: another slow news day. >> i think it will be a good week. ainsley: let's talk about california. all those deadly wildfires. they are raging in that state. a second firefighter among the victims. live on the fire lines next. pete: many millennials think they have it tough at the office. many survey says many of them are quitting just after two years. just too rough. what happened to this generation's work ethic? we will answer that question ♪

maturity. these kids are immature. they are letting their feelings and emotions run their lives. mature people don't do that we are about commitment, responsibility, when you give your word, you keep it and that's what taking a job is all about. when you give your word, that you are going to show up and you work, you keep it that's a character issue and that's taught by parents. ainsley: almost beneficial though if you are in the millennial group and you are a hard worker because you are going up against people who aren't. you are going to get, you know, get the pay raise or get the big job before most of your colleagues. >> you know, long term it is going to serve these people better if they do stick around and those who do we always have to remember when we are talking about millennials. we are not talking about the majority of millennials. 43% is approaching a pretty good number though. but they also have to remember that at some point after they followed their bliss, they quit their job, and, you know, the story i was just reading about this topic, they got a kid that's 27 years old. well, that's true not a kid

somebody. it costs a lot for the rampup time to eventually pay for yourself. so, these millennials who quit after two years, they are just at the point they are paying for themselves. ainsley: yes. we have to leave it on that. thanks, larry. more -- look at my soft hair. i should be in the shot now too. try head and shoulders two in one. with our largest variety of crab all year! like new crabfest combo. your one chance to have new jumbo snow crab . . . .

immigration, protech i.c.e. and law enforcement, keep building but much faster the wall. president doubling down what he said yesterday. hey, shut this thing down. shut the government down i don't get the wall funding. i ran on it. i believe in it. the folks who voted for me believe in it. democrats will not do it. paul ryan, mitch mcconnell make it a priority. ainsley: he met with paul ryan and mitch mcconnell next week. the wall will cost on average, $25 billion. you have given me some money. i started the wall. need five billion for the next phase. maybe the president will be okay working on the wall after the november elections. steve: sounds they walked him through the strategy how they would run the appropriations. it seemed to them like, okay, the president's okay doing something about, he will get the money after the election. how many times have we heard

that before. ainsley: clearly not what he wants based on the tweets. steve: on friday i believe it was, mitch mcconnell was on a radio station out in kentucky, you know the president we've agreed he will get the money after. apparently the president, is that what we were talking about? keep in mind it was in march of this year the president after he signed that gigantic spend palooza on my news bill. he said he would not sign a bill like that again if it doesn't have the money for the wall and immigration. listen. >> as a matter of national security i have signed this omnibus budget bill. there are a lot of things i'm unhappy about in this bill. there are a lot of things that we shouldn't have had in this bill but we were in a sense forced, if we want to build our military, we were forced to v there are some things we should have in the bill but i say to congress i will never sign

another bill like this again. i'm not going to do it again. pete: never again, he said. i remember the great reluctance to signing that swamp budget. he wanted funding for the military which is why he ultimately signed on the dotted line, got to rei would about the military. got to build the wall. establishment republicans, democrats, counting on the president wouldn't want to shut down before the election. this president doesn't play by normal rules. supporters committed to fight against the establishment. we'll see what happens. steve: newt gingrich was just on. he is so smart about how washington works and politics. keep in mind were that happen to november midterms would that be good for the republicans or bad for the republicans. newt broke it down this way. >> if they end up in a fight between the democratic party between the open borders that wants anybody coming in, and republican party wants to

protect americans control immigration. pete: i suspect the democrats lose that fight. who is more radical? is it more radical to want to have a wall or more radical to want open borders? if he makes that clear enough, this will end up in october being very expensive for the democrats. steve: that is the big question. will immigration be the number one issue going into the midterms. if that is true who wins. pete: that's right. newt gingrich went on to say. it is not just about the wall but border security writ large. you see president in the tweet talk about all the aspects, summing up as merit-based immigration. you have to understand who is coming in the country. ainsley: merit-based and don't have a criminal record and end the lottery. lottery is available to people with low amount a of immigrants. they're trying to be diverse. so there are 20 million apply

for that every year. only given out to 50,000. president wants to end that. steve: if immigration become as issue. it would upset the balance with the senate. the senate hoped the month of september used to confirm brett kavanaugh. not only fight for the supreme court but perhaps as well, if the president takes tweet word, could be an immigration fight as well. pete: that's right. so far he said a lot of things and he has done the things he said he was going to do. the house is on vacation for the next month. nothing is happening in the house as they campaign for their jobs again. the senate still has the opportunity. we'll see what happens. steve: house passed apparently trump's request. the money is in the house bill. the senate, that is in a whole another question. ainsley: mike rowe we loved him in the dirty jobs show.

their own bias and they're frustrated. so a lot of frustrated people are talking really loud past each other. steve: it gets noisy he said. ainsley: there is a disconnect. it is about the elites forgetting where everything comes from. when he was a kid he wanted to learn where his food is coming from. when you open a door you wanted to know who created the handle. what is going on inside the handle and lock, that system. people in middle america raising cattle to provide the milk for you to feed your children. he is saying don't be disconnected. steve: people would look at a smartphone, how does that work. instead people tapping on it, never think about it. pete: the point he is makes is so central. it is the basics. that is part of what the president is saying when he says make america great again. it is the flag, anthem, citizenship. it is hard work, it is capitalism. it is borders. really basic stuff.

what is your message for president trump who is, who has been very big part of getting these remains so that families can have closure and can have what is your message for him? >> we appreciate any effort he put forth in this direction pause it has been very hard for the families for 68 years to deal with no closure on their loved ones. i think there are three things that we're really would like to know and tell president trump. the first thing is, how thankful we are that he is is pressing for the remains of those who were killed and, they have the remains in north korea. but we also like to press the pentagon to release information that they have about our loved ones. over the years it has been hard to get information about our families and, about our loved ones. seems like there has been a lot of secrets.

and it has been, we would like that doorway to be opened up. i think thirdly, we would really like for the president to press the soviets when he is in moskow to find out about missing airmen that were sent to the soviet union and interrogated and never repatriated. we're pretty sure that's what happened to my dad because the soviets are the ones that released press photos of him saying captured b-29 pilot was now prisoner of war. so we know they have information and that they're not revealing it. they're not fessing up to it. we would like for him to press in those three areas. ainsley: what was your dad like? , you knew him, right? how old were you when you were fighting in that war? >> last time i saw him was four years nine months old. i knew him well. he was a big man, tall. he was a a.

he would teach me how to shoot tin cans and stuff. i have fond memories of my dad. >> i hate you didn't get to know him after the first four years of your life. but thank you so much for your sacrifice. do you know how many, how many families are we talking about that aren't sure what happened to their loved ones? >> thousands. i think there is 2500 that we are really, well there is over 8,000 weren't accounted for, but there is 2500 i think or more that think that, that their loved ones were captured p.o.w.s. there is 450 there is conclusive evidence like my dad's that they were captured and never repatriated. there are hundreds, if not thousands of families out there still asking the question what happened to our loved ones and there is no closure.

my mother and my grandmother went to their grave wanting to know. ainsley: david, when we look at the flag, we look at your dad, all the men and women made the ultimate sacrifice so we can have freedom. pete hegseth will get on a plane. will go to hawaii. served in military overseas and will be with the vice president when the remains come back to u.s. soil. god bless your family. thanks for everything. >> thanks, ainsley. ainsley: coming up, how far would you go to support your favorite team? one fan could go to prison. media is falling in love with democratic strategist alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> democrats really should consider doubling down on their base. >> the broader context, what she is part of, not just progressive wave, there is a peak wave. ainsley: she is a democratic socialist. greg gutfeld is here with reality check on that. ♪

los angeles. thanks very much for making a house call today. >> thanks for having me. steve: who are these people going to psychiatrists and psychologists complaining that they can't take trump anymore? >> you know, i practice in fort lauderdale, florida, which is democratic household of florida. i'm not seeing this at all. i know for certain it is not a official diagnosis. there might be some people that have displeasure with the president's policies but not something i'm seeing on a large-scale if it is actually happening. steve: i was reading somewhere, doctor, last week when the president sent out the tweet to iran in all caps, it freaked some people out to the point where they thought, is this end of the world? they in turn talked to trained professionals like yourself about it. >> you know, they may have had some underlying anxiety to begin with but it really depends on your perspective, right? politics is about perception. it is about the world and the lens through which you see it f

you're someone who is sort of left-leaning you might find anxiety in these words and if you're someone who leans towards the right you may find comfort in tough talk. steve: sure, what about the people who go see a professional? do they want to talk it out or want a pill they can take until the end of the trump years? >> i find that people more often are more about pills than skills. you know skills require you to actually do the work and sometimes pills are a quick fix. but you know, there are a lot of things you can do for anxiety that don't involve pills. you can listen to music. could you meditate. you could do yoga. sort of the low-tech kind of stuff that works really well before having to give someone a pill. steve: doctor, do you find people more invested in politics more than likely to have anxiety when they have somebody they don't particularly like is in power? >> i think that is true on both sides whether you're a democrat or republican.

if you don't have an administration that aligns with your values and viewpoints it makes you anxious and irritated. steve: to summarize in the medical world there is no such thing as trump anxiety, right? >> it is sort of partisan pop psychology. there is not official diagnosis of trump anxiety. there may be people who are anxious but there's no trump anxiety on a large-scale in any official capacity anyways. steve: can't find knit a book today. >> no. >> dr. daniel bober, psychiatrist, thanks for joining from us l.a. thank you, sir. >> my pleasure. steve: what do you think about that. emails as foxandfriends.com. up next we are playing it cool to help your kids play outside, beat the summer heat. pete: bingo. steve: let's check in with sandra smith. what do you have going on ten minutes here in the channel? >> good morning, steve. we're awaiting the italian prime
