>> a summer saturday in washington dc. you can feel it. welcome to america's news headquarters. jackie: it is a busy saturday. donald trump is heading to ohio for a rally ahead of the special election and already tweeting about the tight race. >> reporter: the president's vacation officially began yesterday but it is a working vacation so the president is going to work today, flying to columbus, ohio for a campaign rally for republican troy balderson who is in a tight race against democrat danny o'connor, ohio as 12 conventional districts. they will face off in a special

election tuesday even though the columbus suburbs in surrounding world areas have been to-1 republicans. the latest monopole shows 44% support for balderson and 43% for o'connor with 11% undecided, three days to go. mike pence campaigned for balderson earlier this week. >> we have someone who has stood even in his role in the state house, strong with this president, strongly with the president's agenda, supported his agenda, the people of ohio voted for every step of the way. >> reporter: this morning the president tweeted we are going to ohio to campaign for the big congressional special election tuesday. early voting is on. troy is strong crime, the border and loves our military, veterans second amendment. his opponent is a up at of nancy pelosi, high taxes, we can expect fired up remarks from mister trump who went off in wilkes-barre at another rally calling out the media for not

delivering his successes in office including a strong economy and he attacked his potential democrat opponent in 2020. >> say i am running against pocahontas or crazy bernie. i got to hand it to bernie. i saw him up there the other day, that hair is getting wider and wider, he is getting crazier and crazier. >> reporter: if there is a night is our guide, tonight will be must-see tv at 6:30 eastern. elizabeth: as the gop tries to take ohio by storm. i want to focus on this race. are you surprised we are talking about this. >> thank you so much.

we are a few days from actual election day, it is surprising democrats are energized right now but i can tell you ohio is going to turn out the 12th congressional district for troy balderson because ohio, and 4.1%, a state were donald trump beat hillary clinton by 8 points. ohio is a great state for conservative values. i am certain republicans will show up tuesday and support for balderson, he is a supporter of the second amendment, conservative values represented well in the 12th congressional district. >>, how the president there has been talk this week, following up on all the paths it has

become a proxy war. donald trump has been brought up a lot, nancy pelosi brought up a lot. what are voters talking about? are they focused on local issues or becoming an issue of establishment versus progressive democrat. it is down the middle. >> it is a lot of what you said voters are focused on, think about 2016 and how important it was to republicans to make sure we had a president that would appoint a us supreme court justice that understood the responsibility of the judge and we will see with another vacancy what is going to drive the turn out in the 12th congressional district, you look at the 12 conditional district and it was held by a republican for a long time and i believe that when

voters go to the polls they are focused on the national economy, the fact 4.1% gdp growth, more ohioans are back to work, since 2011 when i took office, over half 1 million ohioans are back to work. elizabeth: i talked about the fact that o'connor has not been that progressive, not the >> caller: talk -- ocasio-cortez talking about socialism, is that going to be more appealing or do you feel voters are fired up when they see the president tonight? they are not getting trump fatigue, they are passionate about him, what is your take? >> you hear what o'connor says, he is not an establishment, not far left but he has said publicly he will support nancy pelosi. how can he tried to define

himself as a democrat who wants to reach across the island >> in the democrat party but when you push them on the issue he comes back and says i will support nancy pelosi if democrats take control of congress that vote for her to be the next speaker. that is not change, not what he is describing himself to be an voters see through that and i think voters will show up tonight, republicans will shop tonight and be excited to see donald trump back in ohio, supporting troy balderson who was a conservative who has worked to lower taxes in the state house, defend life, protect the second amendment, cut unnecessary burdensome regulations which is what i have done for the past 71/2 years. that is who troy balderson is, when he presented the opportunity. o'connor on the other hand when is pushed you see the true democrat that he is. he is for nancy pelosi.

elizabeth: he had a lot of pushback, almost 7 times about how he would feel about nancy pelosi. what is going to push balderson over the edge? what is the deciding factor? folks in ohio are getting tax relief, reaping or not reaping benefits? what is going to give him the final push for success to win the seat? >> having donald trump in ohio will be a fantastic energizer going into the tuesday election, republicans will be energized. at the end is a we cut taxes, troy was part of that, the president cut taxes nationally and ultimately people are thinking about their pocketbooks. can they raise their families and provide for kids and their families the way they want to and because of what is going on nationally and what we have done in ohio for the past 71/2 years

many ohioans are in a better position and troy is an important part of that in 12th congressional district, voters member that when they show up on tuesday and ultimately vote for support, troy balderson will be successful tuesday. >> obviously we know you won't get much rest, we will see what happens this week. leland: week 2 of the paul manafort trial starts on monday ending with an accountant who said she falsified tax documents for the former trump campaign chair before his time on the trump campaign. all this as special counsel's russia investigation widens and the president is doubling down on his rhetoric, will likely do that tonight at his rally. jillian turner joining us with the intersection of both of these. >> the latest events in paul manafort's trial at a courtroom

in arlington, virginia outside the nation's capital. manafort's former accountant testified she filed taxes she believe may have contained false information and acknowledged doing so amounted to collectivity. reporter admitted she had a sense that manafort lied about where money being traced into his political consulting business was coming from, first time a witness in the trial admitted to potential wrongdoing. the mueller team is trying to prove manafort lifted millions of dollars of income in loans to avoid paying income tax and it was kept hidden from the irs in illegal overseas accounts. donald trump creating russia investigation news when he escalated his attacks on what he calls the mueller witchhunt. he took to twitter and called for jeff sessions to stop the investigation right now. that we'd prompted media outcry from journalists and lawmakers on capitol hill accusing the president of adopt --

obstructing justice, he responded by doubling down. >> we are being hindered by the russian hoax, it is a hoax. i will tell you what. russia is very unhappy that trump won. >> reporter: the same evening he defended his highly criticized trip to nato claiming his motives were pushing nato member countries to contribute more of their gdp, all about russia. here is the president recounting a conversation with the secretary-general. >> she said last year alone because of what i did the previous year we took in $44 billion more. this is money to guard against russia. >> reporter: the president hopes to meet with vladimir putin, national security team put that meeting on ice until after the investigation concludes. leland: less then 100 days to the midterms. more on the russia investigation

and how it plays into the midterms. john garamond, nice to see you. we are watching the trial right now with paul manafort, the first trial coming out of the mueller investigation. is it a problem for democrats the two years in, all the discussion of russia russia russia, you are nowhere close to a smoking gun that attaches donald trump to anything the farias with russia? >> i think there is a whole lot more to this than whether the president was involved or not. there have been 32 indictments, 5 guilty pleas. that investigation goes on. at the core of all of this is what happens and how can we protect our democratic processes as we go into the next election. just four days ago, three days ago, five of the top national

security folks from the fbi to the director of national intelligence and mister bolton and secretary neilsen. all of them said we are under attack. >> if they were all saying that and there was rare bipartisan agreement in washington. what is the problem related to the director of national intelligence and the fbi, they are attacking this issue. >> there are a couple problems. what are they doing? they recognize there is a problem, what are they doing? a second problem is republican congress this past week, two weeks ago removed $280 million that was supposed to go to states and counties to upgrade the election system so they could be more secure. >> are you saying the republicans are actively trying to allow the russians to sabotage our elections?

>> i didn't say that at all. money that is needed, money that is needed to protect our election system was removed. the secretary, the general from the cybercop are hopefully doing their work. he said he is prepared. has he been told to act? >> the person who told the director of national intelligence and members of the intelligence community and cyber community not to act during the 2016 elections was a democrat. isn't that a problem now for democrats to be sounding the alarm bells when it was president obama who allowed the russian interference in 2016 to go unchecked? >> i don't think it is accurate to say unchecked. it did go on --

leland: there was no public shaming, no active measures by cyber command. it is well documented the options on the table, president obama said no. >> that is not exactly unsuccessful in stopping the russian involvement in that election. what was the role of the trump campaign? that is what the investigation is all about. what i want to focus on is today we have a very serious problem today and we need to focus on what russia is doing today. leland: there is agreement on that. speaking of today what is happening in the democratic party leading up to the midterms there is this continued drumbeat, whether it be about russian interference or the state of the country to ramp the rhetoric up on both sides. you are a democrat and you need

to answer for the other democrats. cory booker this week, the soundbite that caught everyone's attention. >> if this country hasn't broken your heart, then you don't love her enough. there are things that are savagely wrong in this country. leland: really? >> you can talk to most people and they will say there's something wrong in this country. leland: i guess the question, is there a danger when everything is an outrage, every politician is trying to find the next most outrageous adjective to use, is there a danger for the country? i am wondering how you feel about this. >> you might start with the president and his campaign speeches if you want to talk about outrageous rhetoric. it starts at the top and it will be reflected all the way down

the line and that is a serious problem for our political discourse because we really need -- leland: i will ask you -- >> very poor dishes. leland: two wrongs don't make a right. we learned that in kindergarten to turn the other cheek. is a time for democrats to set the example rather than in your words stoop to the president's level on rhetoric? >> i would hope all of us, it is very important because it does lead to name-calling and bullying on both sides here. we really have some critical issues we need to talk about and some of these are on the table today, one of which is the protection of our election process. when the president says, what are his most recent words? it is a witchhunt, it is false. leland: the mueller investigation protecting 2018

are different things. we always appreciate it. your rhetoric is not only always thoughtful but is measurable. >> if it gets out of line i hope you tell us so. leland: good to see you as always, all the best. elizabeth: a blow to the trump ministration's efforts to end daca as it was ruled he must fully restore the program. allison barber joins us with details. >> reporter: not a surprise, it is 25 pages long from judge john bates who says the administration failed to justify the decision to end deferred action for childhood arrivals known as daca. the department of homeland security provided a memo called the neilsen memo explaining their decision but the memo fails to elaborate meaningfully on the agency's rationale for its decision.

the policy was unlawful and unconstitutional, the judge goes on to say while the memo offers several additional policy grounds for daca's recession most of these repackaged legal arguments previously made and are independent from the agency evaluation of daca's legality to preclude reduce judicial review and support the agency decision. john bates is an appointee of former president george w. bush. in april he became the third judge to rule against the administration's decision to ease daca giving them 90 days to appeal the decision. the latest ruling upholds an equal ruling. in the april opinion the court did not say dhs lacks statutory or constitutional authority to rescind the daca program, the court is not saying that with this ruling but if dhs wants to rescind the program they have to give rational explanation for its decision.

they did not do that and it was unlawful to rescind the program. the administration said when president obama started the program it was constitutional overreach, judge bates said claiming a prior policy was illegal was a hodgepodge of the lockable -- illogical policy assertions is not good enough for the court. the it ministration has 20 days to appeal. elizabeth: we will see what they do. coming up, sorting through hundreds of tips in search of a missing university student. we go live to iowa for the latest. plus mother nature is working against hundreds of firefighters in northern california. we give you a live update. water released today from a flood filled dam in virginia. our own adam clock as a preview tracking the latest storms in the area. >> reporter: all that rain the cause flooding continues to move up the coast.

the destruction is hard to put into words. thousands of homes are threatened across the west but more fires are igniting and growing and it is just the start of wildfire season. according to the government agency, grews are battling 89 wildfires across ten states, the hardest hit area is northern california where firefighters are preparing for dry, hot and windy conditions, in california alone, 14,000 firefighters are working on wildfires that have burned 450,000 acres. >> a lot of us are saying our prayers that this escapes mother nature. she decides to come this way, the firemen don't have much to say about it. >> reporter: because of the extreme fire danger new evacuations were ordered for areas north of san francisco. fires to burn 450,000 acres.

the single most devastating fire, the carr fire has got six people, destroyed 1000 homes and is considered one of the worst wildfires in state history. california governor jerry brown set to tour the damages. leland: we will keep an eye on that, thanks. >> new video of emergency spillway, the gate at the lynchburg dam in virginia being opened to release more floodwaters. 150 homes downstream have been evacuated as officials worry the heavy rain could fill the lake and cause more flooding, it would flood parts of lynchburg with 17 feet of water, the dam is considered safe and stable but they have not been given the

all clear to return home just yet. at the fox extreme weather center, hi, adam. >> coast-to-coast extreme weather, where they really really need that rain, not getting it. we are continuing to watch wildfires, temperatures back close to 100 °. only getting hotter the next couple days, this is sunday, back to 97, by monday we are back into triple digits, it stays dry and windy and that will continue to fuel these fires so you have red flag warnings from northern california across nevada, large portions to the south as we battle these wildfires. all the rain that caused the flooding has worked its way farther north and we are tracking heavy showers and flooding in new england as we continue through the afternoon, stretching from pennsylvania to new york and farther north. the place we need the rain is not the place getting it today

>> the search continues for missing iowa college student mollie tibbetts. police are tightlipped on details of the investigation. the latest from ohio.

>> reporter: police have been extremely tightlipped in this investigation, not releasing any new information since the university of iowa student went missing july 18th. she was last seen jogging here in brooklyn, iowa wearing a pink top and black shorts. the family told fox news she's alive and being held captive. so far investigators have not released new information, they are pleading with the public that they don't want to release information that might end of the wrong hands. they wake every day -- it is basically nothing. here is one of the lead investigators explaining the latest in this mystery. >> it is frustrating for everybody, for the investigative team, for us and for the family and friends of mollie tibbetts. nobody wants to find mollie tibbetts more than these folks right here.

>> reporter: the family has partnered with crimestoppers of central iowa and raised $220,000 for a reward. they told us this is an incentive to pay off anyone who might be holding mollie tibbetts captive. police and the fbi are keeping their eye on a pig farmer not far from here who says the fbi has visited his property twice and asked to search it and he is on the radar of police at this hour. leland: donald trump has his golf -- that is what it says in the teleprompter, at his golf club tweeting this morning early this morning, going to ohio to campaign for troy balderson for the congressional special election tuesday. early voting is on, troy is strong on crime, the border

loves the military vets and second amendment, a puppet of nancy pelosi/high taxes. the home of greater ice cream, we bring in brian thomas. thanks for being with us. think about ohio, this district john kasich used to represent, donald trump won it by 11 points, o'connor and balderson are tied won't. why is this a race? >> we have been giving a lot of thought to that, thanks for having me on today. leland: we tried to ask only legitimate questions, appreciate your acknowledgment of that. >> the idea, the successful anti-trump sentiment the left has been able to wage since he took office, o'connor is 31 years old, has a sketchy

relationship, with a part-time basis, out of law school and after that. not a whole lot of experience compared to balderson but a welcome experience in various capacities. it shouldn't be a race. this is a reflection of successful social media effort that various anti-trump groups have one thing in common, they don't like this president. this is more a race about donald trump than these two candidates. leland: if you look at this as a referendum on donald trump in a district he won by 11 points he is in the, having to leave certification to show up for saturday afternoon or saturday evening rally, that doesn't say much about the opinion of donald trump, a critical district for anything. >> i talked to them every day on my program.

those that used to support trump. i call myself a switzerland on trump, my political philosophy, i love the success of the trump administration economically. the jobless numbers, the economy booming. there is a wealth of positives. how is it this man could be so unsuccessful in pointing that out? he does it to himself. his twitter feed, constant criticism of things that seem so inconsequential, that feeds this sentiment. leland: in terms of how the race is being played out, you can tell a lot from the ad, this is one labeled dangerous danny. we will get your reaction. >> nancy pelosi and washington liberals are dangerous.

they can't be trusted to uphold ohio values. liberals in washington will repeal the middle-class tax cuts, implement socialized medicine and tighten taxes on working families. danny o'connor is just as dangerous. >> we are the talking points from the ohio lieutenant governor a couple minutes ago. how does that play? is this district able to be scared by that ad or is there an immunity to that? >> they are not necessarily scared by that ad. o'connor started this himself and it is reflective of the struggle in the democrat party. republicans parlay that to their advantage which is why o'connor is running of the clinton democrat. he distanced himself from abolishing ice and made more centrist democrat arguments. that is what they need to win. i don't believe these far left pushes will do anything for the democrats but voters think o'connor is an pelosi's pocket? he tried to distance himself

from that message. >> but hasn't repudiated it. he hasn't pushed himself away from it. over there kind of sort of. it is not connor lamb i will not vote for nancy pelosi, she is not the future kind of statement. >> he is closer to lamb than the one from new york. leland: we have got to run, appreciate it. >> thanks for the time. >> a russian helicopter crash leaving 18 that in siberia. we have all the details. how the trump administration says they will protect the 2018 election for many russian meddling. ♪ when i touch you like this

us to discuss our cyber security risks and what steps the us needs to take to protect our elections. >> thanks for having me on. elizabeth: you saw the press conference. there are a lot of ways, the social media giants, we talk about twitter and instagram. and three resource campaigns, how are they protecting themselves end-users for that matter ahead of the midterms. >> they have a lot going on. we heard about facebook shutting down more accounts that behaved like the account leading up to the 2016, the russian accounts linked to the internet research agency. the other piece is in some regard what we are seeing, adding moderators, artificial intelligence, facebook leading the way, making commitments to do that, helped shut down these accounts and as for the

campaigns themselves, largely on their own to figure out the authentication, what email accounts versus my actual campaign account and they are getting some help from that part of homeland security but it is largely on them to figure out the right digital hygiene practices. elizabeth: how do you maneuver but in an election system, and every county, in the minutia, and at the federal level, there is a lot of risk for state and local. >> you are right about that. for the states they can work with the department of homeland security, they can apply for grants to bolster their security but we are in a labor shortage for cybersecurity, negative 10%

unemployment for cyber security, even if you have the money to spend it is hard to find a professional to help you but a lot of work has been done at the state level, and to bolster their defenses to understand from third-party vending machines, voter machines, outsourced support of that, to understand how is that being secured to make sure the support is done by certified technicians and remote support can be kept in a dangerous way. elizabeth: watching that press conference they will do everything they can but i didn't get a sense there's an iron dome over the midterm elections. what goes along with the fact

that are we dealing with censorship? are there fears and uncharted territory that we could be taking away the ability of free speech at this point? >> that is the fear, based on how the artificial intelligence is created for social media platforms to flag account that could be fake personas and thousands of human moderators make the call, you have to be careful personal biases don't play into saying this much be a fake persona because this is a ridiculous point of view. that is where companies need to set up governance bodies to say we will have somebody verify censorship is not accidentally or potentially on purpose happening and that is a real danger, ai depending on how it is built could accidentally silence groups of americans. elizabeth: thank you for joining us. it is a topic we will be speaking about until november

trying to save in a four improperly listed millions of dollars of income as loans to avoid paying income tax and to keep it hidden from the irs in the overseas account. and then to escalating his attack. on wednesday he took to twitter to call for attorney general jeff sessions to stop the investigation right now that prompted immediate outcry from journalists and lawmakers on capitol hill accusing the president of obstructing justice. but he says he is just venting. >> the president is fighting back not obstructing in stating his opinion clearly and there is no reason he should not be able to do that. elizabeth: he also defended his steps with nato that to push the members it is actually all about russia. here is the president

your reactions. >> president putin did you want president trump to win the election and did you direct any officials to do that? >> yes i did. because he talks about bringing the u.s. russia relationship. elizabeth: we digested this piece after helsinki now fast-forward to pennsylvania. >> now we are hindered. russia is very unhappy that trump one that i can tell. elizabeth: of the voters may be getting mixed messages. >> putin always lies and he always lies. russia always tries to meddle in our elections. but understand and the more

chaos they can create the better it is. the best chaos that they can do and to give back the democrats the house of representatives. their goal is chaos. >> so the last couple of rallies so do you suspect we will hear that tonight? is that what he should be talking about? the medication talk about those positive things with the great job i think this is a bone in his throat he thinks it is unfair but at the end of the day the voters out there are intensifying if the democrats win this election on tuesday they get 22 house

seats there are 60 competitive races and five on the democratic side so if they win 22 or 23 that is not a great number so democrats have to be slightly favored to full this out. the president talked about his accomplishments house number should talk about the presidents accomplishment. >> your point is right now more than ever why were talking about the trump district of ohio. so we are curious about the timing if he does wrap up the investigation there are outcomes that could come out of that clearly but it could be a talking point or a distraction ahead of november. we don't know that but it could be. >> absolutely. it has been a distraction since inauguration day into a set agenda forward that is

with constant scrutiny and attacks on the people so anything that energizes democrats we have to energize our voters the key thing today is who has the more energized base? the 30 democrats that give every indication they will be intensified. >> so what issues should candidates be focused on? we've and have the lieutenant governor of ohio who did talk about the economy -- economy should never did once bring up the russian meddling in the election. >> nobody can understand all the confusion with the russians. we know they were involved in under indictment but americans are going back to work in

record numbers the economy is moving with the bid tax that that is what matters to ordinary people. those midyear elections it is a question to get your voter turned out in hispanic voters are doing better and higher employment rate for hispanic workers those are the target. >> there was focus and direction in your answer. thank you so much. >> a former campaign aide is at the center of the investigation washington post reports former national security director for the trump campaign in the head of the 2016 elections others will recognize you from other input

as well but contact? do you make. she did what people in washington do. they went out for drinks and after attending an event and went out to a sticks concert. and and left. leland: you make it sound fun and innocence but it is clear that she was trying to ingratiate herself to get involved in american politics. >> she was networking. that is something americans do they go to concerts and events. leland: how was her networking directed only helping her? >> good question it was benefiting u.s. relations also benefiting her nothing at the direction of the russian government. leland: so she was doing all of this? >> it is part of the network you don't know when jobs are coming from. leland: i don't and a lot of

time networking with russians not at the congo embassy party to better those relations. >> those who had a focus on u.s. russia relations. leland: is she a patriot of the motherland? a diehard russian who has love for mother russia? or where is her motive? >> she loves the motherland. but she is oppositional and we are not directly in line. leland: you said something interesting nothing happens that they don't want to happen vladimir runs that place.

and this woman who is very connected to the kremlin at the same time and to take a pretty hard stand. >> and they also support that writes in russia that is not a popular position that i doubt putin would sign off at the end of the day. leland: could the argument be made that is exactly why he is signing off without operation to begin to gain influence? >> that is reading too much into it. the reality is with a five-year operation to take a few snapshots. you can do that without any operation at all. >> bed a big part of your defense is she would have been an idiot if she was a spy but she used twitter and was

haphazard. >> there wasn't. then it would be haphazard. but when you document on facebook and instagram any publicly talk about everything you do then that isn't very consistent with a covert operation. leland: there is an interesting op-ed on the hill that the sb sba -- fbi gave her enough rope to hang herself to go around to document her meetings on facebook then pull the rug out just before the midterms. surprise. surprise. >> the broader question at stake is that criminalization is networking. she came to the u.s. a couple of times on a visa to say i'm going to the nra event then she went to the nra event. when she comes back over as a student goes to another event that at what point is this

criminal? it is something the government is aware of. leland: a different question. is it criminalizing becoming friendly with the russian government because there are certain parts of the justice department that wants to make russians a big bad actors? is this political? with those other calculations? >> i don't think it is partisan politics of the russia angle affects everybody. and then with the democratic or liberal side. >> who knows what motivates people to know that a national would be treated the same way. with the u.s. in the country. there will be more developments.

>> the trump administration got news on friday and they must restore the program. that this is 25 pages long and detailed they would not say that this is good news. then to fail to justify the decision for childhood arrivals. that provided a memo to explain the decision. with the primary rationale. that is unlawful and unconstitutional to say that while the memo offers several additional policy to repackage the legal arguments that is insufficiently independent from the evaluation of t5

legality for judicial review or to support the agency's decision. the judge bates is an appointee of george w. bush became the third judge to rule against two and t5 calling it unlawful giving the government 90 days to appeal that decision with a ruling from april. >> there are several ways to digest this opinion you can report somewhat fairly that this judge is giving a stinging review on t5 itself but that the court is not holding that dhs cannot handle the program. >> judge bates told the administration with a prior policy is illegal and that is not good enough the administration has 20 days to appeal the most recent ruling. leland: thank you so much.

we will speak with the former president of chrysler about president obama's fuel efficiency standards will help or hurt consumers. and dealing with some major flooding and we have a preview from the weather center. >> there rain is never ending now going up into new england this will cause flooding we'll talk about this coming up in a little bit. elizabeth: what is stronger and suv or the angry rhinoceros?

>> extreme weather all over while europe deals with the major heatwave and the portuguese as well thousands

of beachgoers flocking to the water trying to stay cool with the deadly heat wave 114 degrees already killed two people in nearby spain they are issuing a red alert with extra medical staff and firefighters on standby and extra beer for those at the beach. elizabeth: those in sullivan county pennsylvania seeing more rain this weekend that the parks are looking more like lakes those conditions are slippery well over 2 inches yesterday and still more to come over the entire weekend. now with more with the rain and the northeast with the fox extreme weather center report. >> talking about more soggy weather it has been going for

days and some of that rain has moved off running to the northeast with those big heavy showers from portions from new york state all the way to boston in the entire northeast is receiving very heavy rain right now. and we have had some flash flood warnings apparently those are winding down a bit and you will get a break a little bit later in those overnight hours. obviously the big story is what we see out west that is where they need though rain unfortunately but this is a red flag warning with the humidity and the temperatures are high and the wind is strong. this is fire weather across portions of northern california. all lots of wildfires across

the western half of the country in the bad news is it stays hot the next couple of days. getting up close at triple digits and staying that way on sunday and then hotter on monday with a high on monday 102 degrees with that humidity if it stays low stomach and wish they could take some rain from the east coast. we appreciate it. the president has the campaign trail this week and fear in ohio. as the protest against religious discrimination law have full swing during what this means for the big democracy in the middle east.

>> democrats say the midterm elections are on their side with job reports and dropping unemployment rates and some hefty tax breaks we have our panel including our democratic strategist. thanks for being here. there is a lot of things to talk about. but you play a soundbite from the president take a listen. >> the last quarter of the united states economy grew by 1.4% in% unemployment recently fell to the lowest rate in almost 50 years. elizabeth: there are some things to brag about but hearing a lot about russia and other issues. >> i think every candidate

running for congress with 127,000 more manufacturing jobs that is more to 12 month more to 12 month period than the last 50 years and you have the lowest unemployment rate this is what the american people care about if you remember james carville it is the economy stupid and looking at what these policies have been doing and then they will want more of it. that is a ticket for all of the republicans across the country. elizabeth: i want to hear your response because democrats say this isn't enough or that it is stagnant or they are hurt right now. >> first let me say this is the most consequential midterm election in our lifetime because there are so many things up and down the ballot that this will determine how we chart a path forward.

i think it is political malpractice for the republicans to assume the american people are satisfied with some of the things this president does. forget about his rhetoric or the tweets but he wants to play ftse and cut all. but from a fierce policy standpoint he has failed on immigration and simple things that matter to the american people now they will receive a $12 billion bailout because the president wants to play political games. and that is why the momentum is on the democratic side going into the midterms. elizabeth: you said this is one of the consequential midterms of your life so that being said the party that is not in power usually ahead of the game and they have an advantage so that being said

how are you getting people energized to care about those issues but for some people they may go out and vote. >> people are frustrated 3.1 gdp does not mean it's good for us that does not translate to middle-class working families that were slapped in the face for that tax cam jabbed outline -- dam down their throat by the republicans we have to have a consistent message to connect with voters in this country and that policy and just to be anti- trunk will not do that. of course issues like health care is important and national security and that is the right to vote. elizabeth: it is not my job to

respond but 4.1 gdp doesn't translate to the middle class? >> it translates to those people who have the lowest employment rate in the history of the united states. african-american unemployment rate is the lowest it has ever been the hispanic unemployment rate is the lowest it has ever been 830 new jobs in the last 19 months. during the craziest 19 months of obama administration that number was 20000. that is a different of 804,000 jobs because of the tax reform and capitalism in the free market actually working rather than the socialist policies of the last eight years. elizabeth: you have 15 seconds

the bottom line is this president has been working for the economy set forth by barack obama without record job growth. >> please. 26000 jobs to 803,000? elizabeth: i appreciate it you both. there were quite a few facts thrown around there. i appreciate it. [laughter] nobody listens to me at home either i'm used to it. staging for the latest on the russia investigation we have an exclusive interview with marco rubio. check your local listings for time and channel as of 11 am

>> less than 100 days until the midterms and republicans going from dogcatcher especially when it comes to the economy and success with deregulation and the decision to roll back the obama era levels on fuel efficiency for new cars. joining us now from chrysler on what this means to the economy. nice to see you. >> good afternoon. leland: republicans will directly link the economy being red hot right now and

jobs in manufacturing in ohio and michigan and wisconsin and in car country to these deregulation policies by president trump. is that fair? >> it really is it helps the consumer as well in the short term. it freezes the fuel efficiency required at the 2020 level instead instead of escalating is the obama administration had planned it at 54 miles per gallon at 2025 so by stabilizing that the cost of adding omission controls and the technology is the frayed and will save money for consumers in the short-term. that is a benefit. leland: but the flipside especially with the car industry is terrence. a number of the auto companies are ringing the alarm bill

blonde -- bell. do consumers and up on the losing or winning end? >> that is a good question. with the fuel economy on the short term it is a benefit that the long-term it prevents us from being as competitive as we should be globally with technology. that is a bridge that also includes a tariff discussion because they build a wall around the u.s. market and u.s. automakers will not be as competitive to compete in other markets. the fact is right now the u.s. auto industry as a 17 million rate that is stable but the growth is exports overseas. the market in china is 24 so new technology has to be developed. leland: there is the irony talking about jobs throughout the country with the

southeastern part of the united states in south carolina and bmw and volvo. it is not chrysler and chevy or gm and ford this is where the u.s. economy is this week this job number is out. 192,000 manufacturing jobs lost 373,000 manufacturing jobs and under president trump. how much can you link to that broader pushed by the trump administration? >> i don't think it relates to deregulation is much as the expansion and investment with the growth of jobs and consumption. consumers are at an all-time high. that the tariff is a tax.

leland: we have had many discussions on this program about that. we will be that for another time but related to deregulation it makes american companies less competitive overseas because they are not forced to have the same type of fuel efficiency standards. so how do you bring that together with the business benefit of deregulation and that the same time the incentives for technological advancement? is that up to the market? >> this is an appropriate stand the president has taken with mandated standards based on required technology it is necessary to check and see if that technology is advancing at the same level as anticipated. if this is a chance to absorb what we have and still have additional standards for the future to push us forward when

we see what technology really is and is a benefit that it is a moving target cannot just be one number that the last administration created. i think it is a good move. leland: we appreciate it thank you for staying up late and enjoy your time overseas mac i appreciate it. while pursuit of the man accused of killing a doctor we have all the details we will show you how this one trip to the zero means you're greeted by one of the world's largest animals.ok ent than warfarin, i'm up for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin.
