pick inching closer to victory results and four other state's primaries. steve: griff, even though it's too close to call the president said my guy won. >> he did in a tweet. we will see. we always count on ohio to deliver that drama. the president's pull is on-the-line republican troy balderson and democrat danny o'connor separated by a point. balderson leading by just over 1700 votes. >> i'm going to promise to you that i'm going to work relentlessly. relentlessly for this 12th congressional district. [applause] >> america is on the right path and we will keep it that way. >> we made our case for change. we are going to make that case tomorrow. we're not stopping now. >> ohio secretary of state said there are a thousand votes to be tallied the begin counting those on august 18th.

kansas primary for governor president trump's pick of secretary of state kris kobach with razor then lead that would be a major primary upset. over in michigan president trump tweeting congratulations to the attorney general bill schuette predicting a big win in november. and in the senate race there iraq war veteran john james backed by the president will face democrat incumbent debbie stab now. the president calling james a future star of the republican party. and finally in the show me state of missouri. attorney general josh hawley will face clair |1 mc 0 caskill in one the hotly contested races in november. back to that special election in ohio. a little fact, whoever wins today or in the coming weeks will face each other again in november. so it ain't over yet. back to you. steve: that's right, griff, absolutely right. thank you very much. the whole idea is the winner would then be able to campaign as the incumbent going up. what's interesting about danny o'connor, the democrat there is he essentially took the playbook of conor lamb

who won as a democrat in pennsylvania a couple months ago where he was appealing to moderate voters. he tried not to demonize donald trump. and so far it looks like that was wise. although troy balderson is, by a squeaker still ahead. brian: you look at the provisional ballots and look at the absentee ballots for the most part it looks like troy balderson, according to most experts, balderson is going to be safe. i think it's also important to point out if you go on danny o'connor's website he has nothing anti trump. outside of some environmental belief that donald trump doesn't have, he also talks about working across the aisle. so, it makes you wonder would the crowd show up for bernie sanders and this 28-year-old out in new york and you have cynthia nixon saying say it we're socialists. if they would say it they would have been blown out. if you run like a republican you might do will in a republican district. abby: there is a reason why

alexandria ocasio-cortez didn't go visit this district. i don't think her voice would have been well-received there good point on o'connor. balderson, we will see how it plays out. if he gets to that finish line i don't think he would get there if he didn't go and do that rally a few days ago. it's a reminder to republicans you need more than just trump out there campaigning to you. you need to be likeable. the local paper endorsed the democrat. first time they did that. he couldn't identify on anything other than trump. they didn't know who he was as a person. brian: good point and other candidates should take a lesson to that. good to have the president there and have the money behind you and have the support. who are you? tell me who you are. abby: why should we vote for you and not the president? steve: regarding alexandria ocasio-cortez we're going to be talking about this a little later on as well. in michigan, and bernie sanders came out for the governor, right? that guy lost. she campaigned for

missouri's first district candidate, her candidate lost. in kansas, with bret welder, who she famously appeared with bernie sanders, the race is too close to call. meanwhile, one of the things that's motivated voters this particular voting cycle is immigration. as we have been seen by the number of people who have overstayed their visa and people who value that the anybody's are big. abby: it shows the top three countries overstaying, canadians, mexicans, british. this is a country people want to come to. highlights once you come here you want to stay. brian: between 11 to 14 million here. a lot have overstayed their visas. stay we have to abolish ice. horrible people make you abide by the rules that make you sign up for. for those who snuck in that's one thing.

>> those who overstayed that's still a problem. the ones have to have round them up ice, tom homan. >> it's a great privilege to come in this country as a refugee nonimmigrant and to knowingly violate laws of this country after being given such a great privilege, that's somebody who needs to leave. they need to remove that privilege and remove them from the united states and send them home. brian: for example iraqi will came here as a refugee which he was just referring to. this iraqi in our country, multiple times including the latest one in colorado shooting a cop. and, yet, we're blaming ice for the people, for him being here. steve: that man's name right there is now charged with attempted murder of a colorado police officer. weighs involved in a shootout recently. here's the thing. there is no reason he should be in the country back in 2016, during the obama administration he was in ice custody, actually. and the courts said you know

what? we are looking at the things have you done in the past and he had a long string of crime and they said that's not enough to deport you. what had he done? assaulted, dui, trespassing, extortion and illegally possessing a firearm. and, yet, some judge said you know what? that's not enough to send him back. let's keep him. fast forward to this year he almost killed a cop in colorado. abby: no surprise immigration, steve, as you said is on the top of mind of voters. the country could not be more divide on where they stand on immigration. do you want to build that wall? do you want to abolish ice? there doesn't seem to be a middle ground when it comes to this issue. steve: gallup has come out with a brand new poll the top problem in the united states sim congratulation at 22% which has now eclipsed dissatisfaction with the government. it's a political issue. because, with republicans they see immigration as impacting the economy. democrats don't like the immigration crackdown. between the two that is what has ratcheted up to the top

of the list. abby: this article sparked our attention, brian. a notre dame professor. so he makes an outrageous claim. he says there is a similarity between soldiers and the media. here is what he said. we thank soldiers for their service because they devote themselves to protecting our freedoms and we should. we should also thank the media for the same reason especially when the stakes have never been higher. that is making the rounds. ben shapiro had his own reaction. here is what he says in response. >> so many members in the media who seem intent on treating the media as a separate class from the rest of americans. this is what americans are responding to. the media don't seem to care when americans are attacked on a regular basis by politicians or when media members attack regular americans on regular basis. real interest lies in self-protection not in standing um for the american people. this is a serious problem. steve: and why is our press free? because the men and women who wear the uniform every day to give us those rights to be able to here at the

couch tell you what's going on for folks in newspapers to write what's going on. but for this professor in management at motor dame to suggest there are parallels between the military and the press, some people have said, really? brian: he hopped on the media is the enemy line. i wish he won't say. to say you are satisfied with the what way other networks and web sites have r. treating you would be accurate as well. that's what the professor is talking about. abby: i have two members in the navy i could not imagine sitting down at the dinner table and say what i do is just as important as do you. they are important on different levels. to sail they are similar in any way. i can't imagine. they would probably be respectful because that's how our military is what they go out and do every day, steve, you said. this they allow us to do what we do. they allow us to sit on this

couch and talk freely they also don't ask what president they are serving they don't get political. brian: it's important did you go to turkey and say something against the turkish government you go to jail. same thing in russia. same thing in china. ask google, can't put certain phrases in order to put google in that country. anything that says anything antigovernment. so, i can see some merit in what he is saying. i don't necessarily see the equation. done correctly, journalism plays a vital role. abby: there are a lot of good journalists throughout that are in harm's way when they're covering war and in dangerous situation we don't want to undermine that to compare the two people need to give that deeper thought. send us what you think at friends@foxnews.com. brian: jillian cannot be compared with anybody. no one like her. jillian mele with the news. jillian: thank you very much. quite an introduction. a manhunt underway in new jersey after two officers

values about what is right and what is wrong. what is acceptable. steve: there have you got chicago mayor rahm emanuel on monday blaming gangs for a violent weekend in a city where 12 people were killed and i think over 60 people were shot. next guest says rahm emanuel is one of the people to blame. joining success former police officer and founder of seven star consulting dmitry roberts joins us from our nation's capital. good morning, steve. >> goo this is personal because your brother was shot. >> yes, he was. very unfortunate and very good man. outside of what's happened to me and my family, this is happening for a lot of people on both the south and west sides of chicago. at this point it really has to come to an end. steve: okay. the question is what are we going to do? we have heard a number of prominent democrats in chicago say mr. president, you have to help us because the people in charge here don't know what they are doing. >> i absolutely believe that

the president has the resources. he has the platform and right now he has the voice that can go in and bring some real change to these issues. and, again, i state, this has nothing to do with politics. this has to do with american lives. and some of our most vulnerable citizens in our communities that need to be protected. steve: i heard rahm emanuel say that apparently he and the chief out there are going to rede ploy people who are in the various pry 60's, take them off of one job and put them out on the front lines is that enough? >> no. and that's never been enough. there has been redeployments. i was part of redeployments. that's not enough resources. that's not enough people. that's not going to curb the violence in chicago. it never has and it's not going to do it this time. that's an 11th hour response and that response is just not good enough at this point. steve: if you were advising the president of the united states because as you said it's not a political issue. this is about americans in chicago who are afraid to leave their house for fear that they would wind up getting shot as your brother did and by the way your brother, as you know, lost

his arm in that. what should the president think about doing regarding chicago? >> well, one, more resources. two, at a national level looking at u. not just how these issues are addressed in chicago but how these issues are addressed throughout the nation. these issues are going on in every major city in this country. and it has to be addressed on a national level. i can't stress enough that these underresourced communities are feeling the brunt of what's happening and that has to change. the president can do something about it with the stroke of a pen, as we know. steve: you think the president should visit chicago and even though he is not welcomed by probably rahm emanuel. rahm emanuel you feel will be voted out quickly? >> i think that this is rahm's last stand. and the reason for that is the folks that could have helped rahm stay in office are in the grave imrard, unfortunately. and, yes, the president needs to go there it's his duty and his respondsability to ensure that all americans are protected and taken care of at this point. steve: indeed, all right.

to fit the qualities of the d.n.a. that are coming out. unlike a modern crime scene sample where the d.n.a. is very, very intact and we can get a result in pretty much 24 hours. this d.n.a. has been in the environment 70-plus years and has actually been degraded which we call being chewed up into very, very small pieces. it takes time. we have to do everything in duplicate because the last thing we want to do is give the wrong answer to the family and our addition to aid the dpaa in identification efforts. abby: dr. byrd you were talking about it earlier as doctors you have to be so meticulous. what was going through both of your minds when you saw those 55 cases coming into hawaii. where you had the flag draped over them. as a doctor, knowing what you were about to do what he was going throug, whatwas going. >> a lot of details what we were going to need to do to make sure we are pursuing these identifications as

luther king jr. those are pressing issues of the time and they weren't always easy to have. but we have to make the effort. brian: you have a lot of people line van jones when the white house called me up i have been very critical. but when you talk about prison reform i care more about prison reform than i do politics. what else it going to take. >> if it's about the american people, if it's about addressing issues that are critical in terms of improving their quality of life, then we have to put political differences aside and say we are willing to make an effort to listen and understand. brian: why don't we? >> because we get caught up with the views and values that we hold dear. that makes it very difficult for tours reach across the aisle and say i'm interested in gaining a deeper understanding. brian: i hear this. we don't want to legitimize the president. >> exactly. brian: he won. >> in this case i have to say i respect the effort that he made to bring these leaders together. and you know where i stand. i don't agree with the majority of policies that the administration has. brian: you liberal democrat. >> exactly.

he made the point out in kansas if the candidate out there, the secretary of state, if he is able to pull it through, at the last minute, kris kobach, that would be extraordinary because donald trump is the one who said at the 11th hour with mr. kobach in the back of the pack, in the polls, said he is my guy. and so if he were to win, that would be big. abby: everyone was watching the race in ohio in that 129 district. a big take away was democrat o'connor 31 years old. not only new fresh face for the party. he had a different strategy than we have seen from other democrats in the country. steve: being republican. abby: not anti-trump candidate. he ran on the issues. he gave voters an insight into what he wanted. steve: he was very moderate. abby: he was. the interesting thing balderson it was a lot closer than it probably should have been. however it ends, if balderson pulls through in the end and gets to the finish line it will be because president trump went to ohio and campaigned for him it still matters to be a

good candidate. you still have to be liked. i'm not sure that he had that at the end of the day. steve: the thing though with 100% of the precincts reporting, the republican is slightly ahead. the big question is with those 3300 provisional ballots that they are going to be counting in the next day or two, who is more motivated to vote early? was it the democrats or was it the republicans? i mean, the president went in at the last moment. so maybe it was the democrats, which could turn that around. it's still too close to call. brian: a couple things also to think about, the democrats keep getting close. and they are -- pick up, i think karl rove did the math five points in every one of these races. the only one they won was that one district in pennsylvania. they are going to have a re-match in november. these same two guys. only have the job a couple months and go earn it again. the question is are these candidates going to be able to define themselves, aside from getting money and the fame and the proceeds from --

prestige from being on stage with president trump. separate themselves. george stephanopoulos said we were afraid of a refused wave so we went with bill clinton out everywhere. after a few months it became clear we were hurting the candidate. so we had to pull back. i'm wondering now do these men and women have to earn it themselves? abby: yeah. what will the democratic party look like in the end? because right now you are seeing two different versions of that party. you are seeing alexandria ocasio-cortez and. brian: elizabeth warren. abby: and o'connor. the guy in pennsylvania much more moderate version. what will the party in 2020 be? if they want to be successful i think the answer is pretty clear. see what they go with. a lot of them are talking about sanctuary cities, abolishing ice and immigration continues to be the top of voter's minds when they go to the polls. steve: it does indeed. a lot of people have been troubled by what looks like happened at the department of justice and the fbi. in spying on donald trump. john solomon over at the

hill has apparently gotten some -- a look at some emails between christopher steele, he is the guy who put together the dossier that was unverified for the most part. and bruce ohr. a high ranking department of justice official. and the email show chris steele that guy right there. secretly funneled information to the fbi through that second man you just saw there, bruce over. the department of justice official even after steele was fired. even after it was clear he could not continue to funnel information to the fbi. he did. brian: here is an example of the text messages between them. steele andor are speaking. just want to check you are okay because sally yates was fired. still in the situation and able to help locally as discussed. locally meaning in britain? i'm still here and able to help as discussed or came back with i will let you know if that changes. steele replied this. if you end up out though, i

really need another bureau question mark contact point number for someone who is briefed. steve: right. the other thing, keep in mind. brian: what is that about? steve: there is bruce ohr. his wife nellior worked for fusion gps. they are the people who were spreading the disinformation. so, bruce ohr, nellior, they are married. still working with chris steele. mark meadows, the republican from the great state of north carolina says this is a big problem. >> bruce ohr, who was with the department of justice actually was working as a go between, between them and the fbi. now, what we're also seeing is we're not talking about one or two or three contacts. there was over 60 different contacts made between bruce ohr and christopher steele trying to get dirt and actually sell dirt on this president. and we also have text messages now that confirm

that peter strzok actually worked with bruce ohr. so it's -- it's amazing that it has taken so long for this to come out. brian: the fbi and britain intelligence working together against a sitting president or president-elect? abby: to his point, why are we just hearing about this now? when you ride the president's tweets, there is a reason why he is so frustrated where we are. steve: sure. abby: what went on in the early days of the campaign. this is not the role of the justice department to do. steve: and the problem to your earlier question why are we just hearing about it now? because the department of justice and the fbi have been slow-rolling. this they have been stonewalling. just now congressional investigators are getting a look at these things. isn't this interesting? nellior, the wife, met with her husband and chris steele the day before operation crossfire hurricane was officially launched by the fbi. abby: steve, just a coincidence. brian: good news for chuck grassley. he can't get christopher steele to sit down with him.

but he is getting the dialogue and the testimony of christopher steele, speaking in britain on a buzzfeed case so the buzzfeed lawyers are going to allow that testimony to be ferried over to grassley and see if he can get some questions answers. steve: it's a video deposition and going to answer a lot of questions. abby: what's your thoughts on that? friends@foxnews.com. go over to jillian for headlines. jillian: following headlines out of new jersey. a fox news alert. a manhunt underway right now after two officers are ambushed at a red light. a gunman firing as many as 25 rounds at the undercover detectives in an unmarked car in camden. incredibly, both officers are expected to survive. we will be live in camden with an update on the story at the both hour. make sure you stay tuned for that this most recent attack on cops comes hours after a fbi agent shot trying to arrest a murder suspect.

deliver sermons until sarah sanders shuts them down and head to twitter like personal diaries and make the stories about themselves. after that they want to go to the trump rallies and when they get heckled by the president's supporters they act like they are marching the bawttle of fallujah. abby: this is close to my heart. i have two brothers in the navy who have serving. they hate when i bring them up because that is who they are. they are so humbled. never lost on me, dave, what they do what they sacrifice every day allows me to do my job. it allow me to be in front of this camera right now and to speak my mind. they are the ones out there fighting for our freedoms. what can we learn? what can our industry today learn from our brave men and women who serve? >> you make a good point. a lot of us are very awkward talking about our service. many of us, myself included never saw themselves in the line of fire. never had to fire their weapon in combat. but we went to our jobs

every day and we tried to do what we could do and we, the military are better placed an they found it. the difference being is a lot of these journalists out there right now. especially white house reporters who want to grandstand and make the stories all about themselves, they could take a lesson from that and you know, i write for a military satire site called did you feel blog. we thank for service all the time in self-deposit prix indicated manner so we don't get too self-inflated egos. that's the problem right now these journalists wanting to be thanked who go out and seek the self-adulation goes on sense of worth. abby: no by lines on the battlefield. they stand up for that flag so honorably. thank you for coming on. rahm emanuel using every excuse for the surge in violence across chicago. one former chicago officer says no more excuses. it is finally time for some action. you're going to hear from

men and theyoungmen they are tra voice for people who don't have a voice. that's what the bible tells to us do. i respect that i respect jim brown's position. i think if i were still coaching what i would do is tell my players, let's come in and talk. tell me your issues. what you're upset about. give me some solutions. i will give you 10 minutes of my press conference every week so that can you get that voice. you want to be a voice, i will give you a platform. let's work together on this. maybe not use the three minutes before before the game during the national anthem. let's use a time where can you get your voice really heard and let people know what the issues are. brian: you don't hide from the issues. you know in america there are issues of social justice that need to be addressed. you know athletes have a lot of power and fame and should use it and so, tony, if you are -- you were a player and a coach. if you are a player, would you be standing -- if you are a coach, would you be standing? >> i would stand because i

personally think that's the way to go. i know my dad was in the service. he was in the military. that's why he fought. that's why he enlisted in world war ii to give us the freedom of choice to do what we think is best. but what i would do is get with my fellow teammates and my fellow coaches what's going to be the best way, the most effective way to get this out? and that's where i think we haven't done a good job. the nfl and the players come together. let's talk about solutions and how can we get this out. but, one thing, brian, these guys are not unpatriotic. they are not standing against our country. they are standing against what's -- kneeling against what's wrong in the country. abby: what do you teach your kids about this? >> my kids understand the story and the situation. but they also are understanding that they have to have respect for the team and for what's being taught, you know there. steve: do you think jerry

jones? dallas has the right approach if you are going to play for the cows you are going to stand with your toes on the line. >> he has the ability to run his team the way he wants to run it. if i'm working for him toy v. to abide by his rules. steve: it's a job. >> it's a job. i understand it i personally wouldn't do it that way. if i everywhere the coach i would talk to my guys and say you have the freedom to do it but let's think about why. i understand that. brian: let's talk about two controversial subjects austin and maria. [laughter] in austin the theme is austin plays football one problem his team has lost six games in a row i guess in the end he quits and plays another sport? [laughter] >> not exactly. brian: have you him stick it out? >> he has wonderful coaches that walk alongside of him and support him. >> we happen to be the coaches by the way. >> we are the coaches and we are there to instill good values and just encourage them to do the right thing. and that's important. and many kids face those situations where they are not sure what to do. what's the best way to

handle this situation? tone tone the teammate that says we can win by cheating. they can figure out if they are going to play by the rules. brian: maria wants to play soccer. >> she wants to play soccer but hesitant because it's a new sport. not sure if this is the game for her. but with the encouragement of her coaches, again, she is out there and she plays and does well. brian: brand new book series came out this week. congratulations to both of you. >> thank you. brian: if you want the opportunity to be in the next book what do you. >> contest to severe your chilto enter yourchild. you can be a character. brian: who wouldn't want to be a character. brian: when the season starts you don't see him again he will be on the road broadcasting with nbc. >> thank you. ainsley: two police detectives ambushed now a massive manhunt is underway. we are live on the ground there that's next.

last year was a bad year across the nation. already just one shy of an officer being killed to tie last year's awful year. so, this year is getting even worse. fortunately, these two detectives are going to survive. they were just both shot in the arm and hand. man and woman. undercover cops. undercover car. and a guy at a red light just starts blasting at them through their windshield. the police chief held a news conference after this happened at 8:30 on national night out while cops in camden four different locations trying to build community trust, this happens. >> they were essentially ambushed. a male walked up and began opening fire. our officers have non life-threatening injuries. but not for the grace of god to be quite frank. the amount of rounds fired at close range. >> and so, they got a good look at this white van. and they also got some good shots at it they think it has bullet holes in it. it came back as a

registration in a philly suburb. put the bulletin out for philly police to be on the lookout for it may have clipped one of the guys. may be blood in the van once they find it dumped somewhere. also an alert out for the hospital. this should tell every law enforcement officer what they already know that they are targets in this day and age. guys? steve: steve kealy live in camden. was this random or targeted since they were in an unmarked car. do we know. >> they won't foe for sure when they catch this guy. often when you are under i don't cover under cover buy or busted somebody before, chances are you are recognized especially in a smaller city like camden. thought they were a couple on the street and road wage case. for some reason the cops think this shooter knew they were cops by what happened here. abby: steve kealy thanks for that live report. brian: as you know jillian you are from philadelphia do you know steve. jillian: i do know steve.

them. >> i will do nothing cooperatively with ice. that they do any criminal acts, which a police force can do, we will take criminal action. >> democrat andrew cuomo also says he thinks ice's actions are, quote, politically motivated by president trump. an off duty coast guardsman saves a man's life on his wedding day. take a look. the groom was taking photos on a beach in alabama. when someone alerted the couple about a struggling swimmer. zac edward's new wife mead told him to jump in the water. >> went to take off his bottoms. you don't have time. the guy was drifting farther and farther out. >> don't worry about your pants. just go. you have to listen to your wife because otherwise you are in trouble. jillian: new mrs. edwards says she got a package deal a hubby and a hero. that's great. herd of cows steer police to a suspect on the run. >> if you see the large grouch cows there, they are literally following her and chasing her.

jillian: the udd early awesome video show the cows corralling the woman after she jumped out of the stolen car and ran into pasture. the police moooving onto the woman if you will. arresting her and two others. i love adding cheesy lines into funny videos. abby: you are really good at it too, jillian. jillian: and be dramatic with it. brian: coming up later the farm report with jillian. let's see if she can adjust. abby: out to janice that lightning and thunder last night was unbelievable in new york. janice: it was crazy. unfortunately we had injuries. the national weather service always says when thunder roars, stay indoors. that's a smart phrase. hi, what's your name? >> frank. janice: where are you from. >> charlotte, north carolina. janice: what do you think of the weather here. >> better than yesterday but it's been a swamp like it has in charlotte. janice: something that swamp. have you had breakfast yet.

>> no. >> take your order. >> thank you for coming by the way. you only need one friend. 88 in providence is the daytime high today. it's going to be swampy like along the coast line. a lot of humidity. so just take precautions. make sure you are drinking lots of liquids, bring the kids indoors, airconditioning and pets and check on the elderly. last 24 hours we did have strong thunderstorms. we could have storms today as well and through the weekend because we have this trough in place along the northeast parts of the midwest as well. this is hurricane hector, my friends. still a category 3 major hurricane moving south of hawaii which is good news. still see some impacts. here are daytime highs today. a lot of 90's on the map and going to be humid. do you want to say hi to somebody at home. >> say hi to my daughter sophia, miss you. janice: breakfast on you? >> you got it. janice: we're taking orders. back inside: you have one friend outside. you just asked him to go get you breakfast. janice: or should i be paying?

life. but it was all to get you kids ahead. >> it was actually my little sister eventually passed away who we had to leave behind. she initially wasn't able to come to the united states because there is a strict physical you have to go through to come to the united states. so initially she didn't make it, so we had to make that journey to bring her back the legal way, you know, taking the proper steps. once she was here in the united states she eventually passed away. still a journey we had to take. steve: tell us why you feel as an immigrant who did it the right way the president is right on immigration? >> well, it's really important to enforce that this is a country of rule and laws. and we have to let people know that, you know, these rules were set up so they could be followed. we -- people like me and my family, we took -- we took the long way but we had to be really patient about it. but, this is the way to do it. there is no other way. if you want to be productive members of society in this country, you have to just follow the guidelines.

steve: you live in new york city. and you have a conservative point of view. where did that come from? >> well, this all happened in 2016 when i just started like thinking for myself. looking through a different outlook. meeting a lot of the conservatives. i realized conservatives aren't out to get me. they don't want certain ideologies forced upon them. so through dialogue and exchange i realized i actually have a lot in common with this group of people. steve: sure. the u.s. congress had a chance to do something in the past year on immigration reform. obviously, you want more people to come to the united states legally. but, right now, the system is screwed up. >> absolutely. i think what president trump is suggesting is actually these are things already practiced in australia and canada. merit-based immigration system where you invite people over t who want to embrace our ways of life, our values, which are very important in addition to having skills that fit the society. steve: you are proud to be an american, can i tell. >> absolutely, hard core.

steve: it's great to meet your acquaintance neil gouveia thank you for joining us live. >> thank you so much. steve: straight ahead on this wednesday, alexandria ocasio-cortez doesn't always have her facts straight. >> unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs: we're going to flip this seat red in november. we gave the military a 700 billion-dollar budget increase which they didn't even ask for. steve: well, if you thought that was inaccurate. wait until you hear what she just said about the middle class. plus, it's mega morning deals back-to-school edition. deals on back sets, book sets and so much more. good morning, meghan ♪ my momma told me ♪ you better shop around ♪ for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn?

since 1940 one time it has gone blue. this is reminder i think, brian, should set off alarm bells, even if he pulls through the finish line, you can't just have the trump name next to you. you have to be a good candidate. someone that connects with the people. brian: the trump name saved him. but in most cases these candidates will have to run hard. there is no lay-ups in this election cycle. seems as though the republicans are running about five point deficit everywhere. democrats almost won in georgia. almost won in montana. almost won in south carolina. money came in and seats were saved. they lost the pennsylvania 12th district. almost won this one. but in the end will not get them majority. they have to pull out victories. not get close. steve: strategy in this particular 12th district of ohio, danny o'connor ran as

moderate. did not demonize trump voters. the republicans were trying to demonize nancy pelosi. danny o'connor, if you win, would you vote for nancy pelosi to be speaker? and he kind of waffled on it for a little while. eventually said i will support whoever leadership is. they were trying to nationalize her with him. an right now he is losing by a little bit but still 3300 ballots to be counted. brian: nobody thinks he ran as liberal or socialist. alexandria ocasio-cortez believes she won the district in new york because she is a socialist and a liberal. no one really wanted her in that district because he had to pose himself as a moderate. makes you wonder if her message is resonating. she is getting a lot of fame. we're hearing a lot more about her. abby: she has ideas about saving america. here is what she said recently. >> a lot of folks in the political heyday in third way 90

politics and they were campaigning and really kind of, connected most to an electorate fighting for these seats. when they got the seats when we had more of american middle class. i think that politically, this like upper middle class is probably more moderate but that upper middle class doesn't exist anymore in america. steve: that is the problem. keep in mind, she in the past said look the reason unemployment is so low because people have two or three jobs and working 70 or 80 hours per week which a number of fact finders found as pants on fire lie. when you look what she said the upper middle class is gone, look at this 1979, it was 12.9%. if we put up the graphic. today the middle class has grown, more than double from that many years ago. brian: went out of the way to

put down democrats. joe manchin in tough fight. democrats in their states. we need better champions for the works class. thanks, appreciate it. if you're a democrat, wow. i lost my fastball. time has passed me by, i'm not good for the working class. thanks for being in the corner. abby: there are two democratic parties we're seeing. ocasio cortez, elizabeth warren. cory booker is there wants to run in 2020. feels only way to get through the primary process to appeal to the far left-wing voter. if you want to win the general election is that the right strategy. o'connor 31-year-old in ohio, his strategy was running to the middle. there is big middle in the country often gets missed, if democrats go all the way to the left good luck. brian: they have to get off the stage. donald trump got off the stage at number one.

they have 20 people going for this. how do you get off the stage, maybe the most different, radical thing possible? steve: we'll talk more about politics with pete hegseth in the next segment. we want to tell you what a management professor at notre dame, joseph holt wrote. he did an op-ed. he said this. we thank soldiers for their service they devote themselves to protecting freedoms and we should. we should thank the media for the same reason especially when the stakes have never been higher. abby: that is causing a lot of people to scratch their heads this morning. a lot of folks in the media an journalists it is not always safe and doing a very important job for this country, but when you compare the two, i spoke earlier this morning, two brothers in the navy serving, he if i sit down at dinner table say my job is the same as yours, i can't imagine doing that. they would be retech re--

respectful. they allow us to do our job, allow us to sit on the couch. dave brooks on the show last hour. he was former marine vet. he is now at "the daily caller." he has worn both shoes in his life. here is what he said about the comparison. >> professor wasn't even talking about journalists who do put themselves in harm's way. he was talking about white house reporters who go to the press briefings, instead of asking questions, they pull out a soapbox and deliver sermons until sarah sanders shuts them down. they head to twitter like personal diaries make stories about themselves. after that they want to go by the trump rallies get heckled by president's supporters act like they're in the battle of fallujah. that does a disservice for those that signed up to protect the nation. steve: facebook and tweet us because we read it all day long. abby: there is no byline on the battlefield.

a parking lot outside of ford headquarters. right here i have the very first ford mustang ever sold. gail weiss, bought it on april april 15th, 1964. you kept it ever since. back then did you think the car and you would be a celebrity 54 years later? >> no, i didn't. i'm surprised and happy this happened. >> never sold it yet. ever think you will? >> no, not yet. >> mustang fans are loyal. i know another one not interested in selling his car. sean owns the very car used in the steve mcqueen film, "bullitt." he owned it since the 1970s. no one knew it existed until couple months ago. this car is worth millions of dollars. worth more to you than that? >> absolutely. used to be a family car. she is part of the family.

so world tour. it has been amazing. to be back home. this is pretty awesome. >> american icon. 10 millionth coming off the line. you will not be able to buy it. ford will hang on to it for a while. figure out what to do with it, put it in a museum or auction block, you probably pay a pretty big premium. if you want to pick it up. abby: one of the america's favorite. you used to own a mustang. brian: it was faster than the tesla-made rocket. football players still kneeling for the national anthem. we earlier talked to super bowl winning coach tony dungy. he tells us how he exactly feels about that. >> i would personally stand, i feel that is the way to go. my dad was in the service, in the military, why he enlisted in world war ii, to give us freedom of choice to do what we think is best. brian: he would give ten minutes of my press conference every

day, for the players to speak up what is wrong with society. let's switch gears, keep on the same topic. a florida eatery feeling the same way as coach dungy, taking a stand for the flag, canceling the nfl-tv package, offering veterans a 40% discount. they are the owners of beef o' brady's in brooksville, florida. i understand the nfl package costs 5000 bucks. if there is local game you put the game on. why are you canceling the package, janet. >> we felt this year we didn't want to spend money on that program because we do disagree with how, you know, the protesting is being done. and we just decided we would rather put our money towards our veterans which we have many in the area. and that is just the way we decided to go. brian: curtis, been a couple years now, third year, since colin kaepernick didn't play

year before. he took a knee. why now? >> last year is really ramped up, after week one we saw it was going to continue, we tried to cancel our subscription last year and they didn't allow us to. so we went forward with it last year but decided if they didn't change their stance, if the nfl didn't make a difference in the way everything was being handled, that this year we would do what we're doing. brian: curtis, are you hopeful in may when they said okay, everyone will stand, if you're not going to stand, go to the locker room. being they haven't made a stance, you're out? >> hopeful. but you know what? i don't believe what the ultimatum they gave the players was necessarily the right way. i think they ought to give the players a platform to bring their issues out but it doesn't need to be during the national anthem. brian: what is, what has been some of your customers reaction, janet? >> we had calls from all across the country thanking us.

we had a lot of local ones said they were thanking us, saying they would be in every sunday and throughout the week. it has been 99% positive. and it has been very touching actually they're calling to thank us when we're just trying to respect and thank them for what they do and allow us to live in the greatest country on earth. brian: 40% off food sundays for those in the military. on the counterargument, what about social injustice in this country? the complaint is that law enforcement unjustly, up justly applies the law to minorities in our country. that is why they're taking a knee or taking a seat. what is your reaction to that? >> like i said, i believe they have a valid point. i just feel, personally that they're doing it at the wrong time. i believe it is the nfl leadership that needs to get with the players association and come up with an appropriate time for them to bring their message forward. they need to bring the message forward. we need to make advances in this

country every way they can. if they do that, come up with agreement, give them airtime, advertisement time, five minutes each game. they could fit in their spots to put their issues out there and that would be great. brian: meantime beef o' brady's in brooksville, florida, will not showing the games unless it is local and free. curtis, janet, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: straight ahead, how did president trump come to power. rosie o'donnell knows. >> i think largely because of the celebrity apprentice. i blame mark burnett for creating a false narrative about this man. nobody treated him with respect or dignity until this show came on. brian: finally put the blame where it belongs with reality show creator. more insults from rosie o'donnell. rosy the resistor, next. >> number is startling. hundreds of thousands of foreigners overstating their visit to america. mark steyn is a foreigner
