everyone we told them to stay with music and we roll them out. how great an idea is that? steve: that is one of the highlights of our summer concert series because we have the biggest acts and entertainment and tomorrow we have scotty mccreery because brian thought it was a good idea. brian: go on "american idol" and become famous. ainsley: i know florida georgia line you made famous. steve: hold it. the biggest one was taylor swift u she started on this program when she was 15 years old. brian: didn't we have hannah montana on? steve: mollie cyrus. brian: anyone could book miley sirus but you booked hannah montana. ainsley: sarah huckabee sanders was talking but who the president is considering revoking the security clearance of the former cia director john brennan because he was going on national television and accepted a job at nbc and

msnbc. the security clearance has been revoked by president trump. steve: why did he do it? everybody is speculating. the president himself told the "wall street journal" last night that the president holds john brennan among those responsible for launching the whole russia trump colluded business which, of course, the president denied. keep in mind and we have heard about this a couple of times. it was back in the summer of 2016, that guy, right there, who at the time was the cia director, went to harry reed whos was the top senator on the democratic side with the dossier. he showed him the dossier. harry reid wrote with a letter to james comey saying hey, the fbi has got to investigate. this and then the fbi did. so, in other words, it started with brennan. then harry reid and then james comey and that's how we got to where we are a number of investigative reporters like kimberly strossel say. brian: he is an inflammatory pundit who has a rich history in intelligence. and it made the president concerned and others concerned that maybe is he going to use some of his

intelligence access to go on and attack him with it. so the president took action. sarah sanders made it official. >> mr. brennan has recently leveraged his status as a former high ranking official with access to highly sensitive information to make a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations while the outburst on television about this administration. mr. brennan's lying and recent conduct characterized by increasingly frenzied commentary is wholly inconsistent with access to the nation's most closely held secrets and facilities, the very aim of our adversaries which is to sow division and chaos. brian: here is he what said, john brennan, when this came out and no longer has top security access which i don't think he was using. this is part of an effort by mr. trum

it's the way he said it the way he delivered it and what he knows that had this administration extremely concerned u. ainsley: mark levin made an exlengths point on sean hannity's show. this has nothing to do with free speech. listen. >> noble is stopping brennan from speaking. in fact nobody could stop. he has a big mouth. he will never shut up. the right that he has access to information because he served in the obama administration at the cia is a preposterous argument. who else is president looking at. comey was a leaker. he be a sconsded with government documents when he left. mccabe is under criminal investigation. guy under counter intelligence investigation for misconduct. his security should be pulled. james clapper committed perjury. bruce ohr, another one, pulled. united states, anotheyates nort. not because he has a problem

with democrats or liberals he has a problem with these people. steve: are there others? we have a big screen with a bunch of faces that are familiar. a number of them have been fired by the finn. they have been demoted, clapper lied famously in front of congress. it's interesting. jim jordan said yesterday if any of them still have clearances they should lose them. joe digenova said it's a glorious day for america. an evil man has lost something he is not entitled to as you look at some of those who still have access to clarified information. finally, john kennedy, the republican from louisiana had, perhaps, my favorite sound by the of th bite of the y yesterday. he said regarding mr. brennan i called him a butt head and i meant it he is giving the national intel community a bad name. that is a quote from mr. kennedy. brian: you know where he felt because he was the right hand of president obama and became president obama's cia director when he couldn't pass the first time. i'm going to talk with

anthony tata, the author of "dark winters" he will be with us to talk about the impact here. is this an for example of freedom of speech or tired of hearing the cia director sound off knowing he has access to things at the highest level. steve: it's at a back, i think, because the president thinks that john brennan launched the whole investigation. and now he has his chance to do something, boom, he did. ainsley: meanwhile, the governor of new york, andrew cuomo shocked the crowd when he rebuked the president's make america great again slogan and the crowd gasped. listen to. this we are not going to make america great again. it was never that great. [. [laughter] brian: they they're to cheer him. they couldn't cheer that. did he just say america is never that great. he has to quickly walk that back because the blow back

became overwhelming. president trump hears this and tweets this out. we are not going to make america great again, it was never that great is he quoting what he just heard. can you believe this is the governor of the highest taxed state of the u.s. andrew cuomo having a total meltdown. democrat, republican, you should be offended by that statement. steve: absolutely. the press secretary came out from the governor and says the governor believes america is great but maximum greatness was still yet to be achieved. he also tweeted. brian: really, nice try. steve: listen. they have to spin it. they are in a hole on this. what would you say would be great again would not be great at all? we will not go back to discrimination segregation, sexism, isolationism, racism or the kk. like new york's motto says excelsior. every one yard not backward. ainsley: let's hear what the

governor of new york, 12 million immigrants came to ellis country island because of this great country. listen to what he said again. >> we're not going to make america great again. it was never that great. [gasps and. [laughter] steve: ironic thing is when he ran for governor in 2010, he put out a video announcement, according to the "new york times." and what does he say? together we can make new york great again. so it was great although he said it was never that great. brian: as you know, he has had a hard life he grew up the sownel of the governor of new york married a kennedy and became governor himself after working the clinton duration. obviousladministration. corey bookie saying something savagely wrong. fundamentally wrong. elizabeth warren our law enforcement are racist front to back and governor cuomo. the democrats are really on the same page in many ways.

don't think so. brian: people hearing that and reading it in newspapers if they still get them delivered wow, is he singing my song. i'm worried about it. a lack of appreciation where we came from. because we're not perfect doesn't mean we are not great. we are one of the only societies that continues to try to get better. steve: but it was never that great. that's the part that really riles up a lot of folks. as ainsley said a moment ago, let us know what you think at friends@foxnews.com. brian: i'm sure great jillian. do you think he would say you were never that great? jillian: i don't know what he would say that comments was so out of left field. you wonder where that comes from you wonder what else. news we are following. fox news alert. will hold up in a building in kabul firing off shots. police say the situation isn't s. under control. isn't known how many attacker there's are or if anyone is dead.

unverified clinton paid for dossier. brian: the word was go announce. this. >> he spied on american citizens and lied in front of congress about that spying. and, question 29 on the security clearance form says, you know, have you ever supported overthrowing the u.s. government? all have you got to look at brennan's tweets and he supports the removal of this president and right there that's enough evidence to get rid of his clearance. brian: he has been quite inflammatory in his comments. we could go on for hours but here is 29 seconds. >> well, i made my feelings known about mr. brennan. i think most americans look at our national intelligence experts as being above politics. mr. brennan has demonstrated that that's not the case. he has been totally political. i think i called him a butt

steve: security clearances under review apparent solid dod official bruce ohr as a shocking report uncovers more of his texts with the author of that anti-trump dossier christopher steele. one, steele seems concerned about comey's upcoming testimony on capitol hill. hi, just wondering if you had any news. obviously we are a bit apprehensive given scheduled appearance at congress on monday. hoping that important fire walls will hold. many thanks. >> ohr replied sear no new news. you i believe my earlier information is still accurate. i will let's you know immediately if anything has changed. gregg jarrett is the author of the russian hoax. it's the number one book in america for the third week running and he joins us now. >> good to see, steve. steve: what are important fire walls that mr. steele is worried might.

>> here is 60 pages of communications with bruce ohr with the department of justice. is he frantic is he going to get exposed. in one text message. steve: they want it to be a secret. >> oh, right. because here is what chris steele did. he created a phony document, false intelligence. he hated trump. >> is he on record saying he would do anything to stop trump. so what he did was he created this false intelligence document peddles it to james comey and his confederates and john brennan and is he doing it a lot of it through bruce ohr, the guy thered in the middle of the screen he realizes is he going to get busted. is he going to get exposed. one text message is senator grassley has a letter and is he going to implicate him, christopher steele. another one he writes to bruce ohr scom about to

testify and is he worried he will be exposed. steve: because then it would expose the fact that democrats funded it and hillary was involved and that would have happened almost two years earlier than right now. talking about the dossier though and you just mentioned mr. brennan. brennan got his security clearance yanked yesterday. one of the reasons it sounds like the president told the "wall street journal" that he holds him responsible for launching the whole trump-russia collusion narrative. >> chapter 6 is how john brennan as the cia director was the instigator of the russia hoax. did he more than anyone damage in propagating false intelligence in the dossier. he has proven he cannot be trusted with national security secrets. he has leaked before. and he would be prone to use current intelligence to damage trump and jeopardize national security. he should be nowhere near cia headquarters. in fact, he ought to be banished from washington,

d.c. steve: so the president was right to pull the security clearance on him? >> absolutely. you are supposed to be nonpartisan apolitical as cia director. brennan never was. he was acolyte and sycophant of hillary clinton. he was using this false intelligence to damage trump before the campaign ended and to help hillary clinton because he wanted her to be president. steve: right. nobody would ever know because hillary clinton was supposed to win. but then donald trump, as it turns out won, and now we are starting to know more and more. >> as you pointed out at the want to hour it was very devious maneuver by brennan. he goes to harry reid on capitol hill and together they council one this plot, if you write a letter to comey we can leak it to the media alleging trump-russian collusion and that's exactly what they did. steve: check it out. it is called the russia hoax. it's available everywhere. gregg, thank you very much. >> steve, thank you.

[laughter] >> you think? >> yes. >> what do you think is a bigger priority to stop plastic straws or illegal immigration? >> a bigger priority? i would say straws. steve: you know, did i not see that coming. ainsley: me neither. >> neither did i. i really didn't. i wanted to see how far it would go. let's see how far it would go and ask people these questions. really these people, that's what they actually believe. ainsley: those were two people. did most of the ones or all of the ones you interviewed did they say the same thing. >> yeah, the majority of people. we just didn't include all of them in the video. brian: get out while you can, will. please, defect. whatever can you do. >> yeah. brian: will, thanks so much. ainsley: thanks, will. steve: it's impossible to get a plastic straw in new jersey these days too. they are all paper. ainsley: causes wrinkles. steve: wrinkles. ainsley: i heard just as many wrinkles as cigarettes?

critic and his hands possibly are so dirty in this russia investigation, president trump has had enough and revoked the clearance yesterday. ainsley: that's right. the white house said that brennan has a history that calls his credibility into question. the president has a responsibility to protect classified information and who has access to it. steve: that's right. online right now there is a brand new op-ed nit "new york times" written by mr. brennan radarring the president's motivations. and he writes: mr. trump clearly has become more desperate to protect himself and those close to him, which is why he made the politically motivated decision to revoke my security clearance in an attempt to scare in to see you lens others who might dare to challenge him. actually, the president of the united states spoke to the "wall street journal" last night. and he said the reason that he pulled the clearance was that he holds mr. brennan among those responsible for starting the whole trump colluded with the russians and that's why he is

president business. we were just talking to gregg jarrett who has the number one book in america right now called the russian hoax. he said it all stuarted with john brennan. john brennan took the dirty dossier, went to harry reid and said hey, did you see this? and then they figured out, you know what? i'm going to write a letter to the fbi director, james comey, saying that the fbi has got to do something, so they did. and they did. brian: there is a theory that's the reason why the fbi got involved is the cia one orchestrating the fbi to get involved with the london based christopher steele who had contacts in russia, whose intelligence was never verified but made it into the dossier, which brought forward the fisa warrant, which moved forward on the carter page investigation and now why have ongoing probe by robert mueller. ainsley: predictably the media freaked bought it, listen. >> security clearances have

never been used to punish people for speaking out. >> we should all be scared about the state of our democracy. they didn't just make a threat. it's a promise. they are snatching. john brennan's national security. >> we begin tonight with a chilling action taken by the president of the united states that looks something like something you might see out of a dictatorship or authoritarian regime. >> trump is under fire for nixonian enemy's tactics those are the words of some white house official after the white house is admitting it is retaliating against former cia director john brennan. >> interesting thing about the whole dossier and mr. brennan. mr. brennan in public has insisted that the dossier played no part in the intel community's investigation. but, at the same time it was just as president trump was coming into office that he did the briefing and he said and here's the evidence showing them the tots yea that there was collusion between your team and the

russians. brian: others on the list going to be reaffirmed perhaps or have those revoked this guy named james comey, comey, struck, page, ohr perhaps and maybe james clapper as well. ainsley: those under review as well. brian sat down with general anthony tata brigadier general and he had this to say. >> john brennanened is a clear and present threat of this nation. he needed to have his access to information revoked. when you look at his track record officially, he oversaw the iran deal and all the intelligence. he manipulated isis intelligence for president obama. he was part of the russian hacking. standing downtown cyber team. the president made the right decision in revoking his security clearance. steve: senator rand paul from the great state of kentucky tweeted this out i applaud president trump revoking john brennan's security clearance. i urged the president to do.

this i said earlier my gave right sound bite of the day was john kennedy, the republican from louisiana. i love the sound bite because it is actually a politician who says exactly what he is thinking which is rare in washington. he said brennan has been totally political. i called him a butt head and i meant it. he is giving the national intel community a bad name. brian: meanwhile and by the way no one stopped him he can still talk. he doesn't deserve access. ainsley: he isn't trying to silence. brian: he can still talk. he has a contract. he probably can't get a lucrative private sector contract without a security clearance. i always thought as we change gears, i thought we could agree how great the country was when the rubber hit the road how we want to continual that greatness and continue to improve. then out comes, i'm sure, future presidential candidate now looking for four more years as new york governor, governor andrew quom mole and his comments yesterday. steve: that's right. and as we play these, keep in mind, it was a couple of

days earlier that donald trump was in upstate new york and said you know, i have talked to andrew cuomo off the record and he says he is not going to run. oh, please run. clearly the president got under his skin, the whole make america great thing obviously has gotten under his skin. and that's why this sound bite is the sound bite everybody is talking about. here's the governor yesterday at a bill signing ceremony when suddenly he blurted this out. >> we're not going to make america great again. it was never that great. [laughter and gasps] steve: it was never that great. where does that come from? this is a guy that grew up in privilege. his father was a governor. he married a kennedy. how bad has life been that he looks around around says wow, this country is not that great. sea two term governor. he worked in the clinton administration. steve: is he a big powerful democrat who fancies himself a future political and perhaps presidential contender.

the president heard that, and he tweeted this out. ainsley: he said we're not going to make america great again? it was never that great. can you believe this is the governor of the highest taxed state in the u.s., andrew cuomo having a total meltdown. it's hard to believe he is the governor of new york. this is where 1 million people came from ellis island and new york to come into this country for a better life. brian: i want to know what country he does think is great. why would you ever want to lead arguably the number one state in the country through troubled times between his family two terms with his dad and he going through a third term now. steve: cuomocuomos have run the state you would think the state would be great. taxes are great big. brian: everyone around him in s. in some type of legal trouble. buffalo project. looking to rerevitallize buffalo. the guy running that is in jail right now. ainsley: i don't know if he

said it and regretted it because of all the backlash or if he believes that or mass stake. his spokesperson walked it back her greatness will be fully realize you had. brian: that's not what he said. that's a spokesperson an hour later but that's not what he said. steve: that's walking it back which they tried to do. nonetheless, it has stung. ainsley: is he running against cynthia nixon. their primary is in a few weeks. marc molinaro he is the guy who has the republican nomination. is he running against them. he was on our show earlier and said. this this is man who once proclaimed is he the government. i really don't understand what he thinks other than i take him at his word. he says america is not all that great. is he wrong. even with our imperfections this nation its promise, purposes principles and peel have always been great. i'm ashamed to think my governor doesn't know that. steve: it was never that great. we asked you what you thought. we got an email from ro who says i'm 86 and i can still

hear my father immigrant himself telling me to never forget we are living in the greatest country in the world. ainsley: mary jo writes us and says america's greatness comes from so many sources. we try, we persist. we give. >> as a vietnam veteran we sacrifice. she says cuomo, look at the war monument on the mall. we gave it our all. brian: crystal twitter beg to differ. greatest nation on earth. classroom cities and in our hearts. something that god bless america. he is not alone. other leading democrats feel similar. corey booker says he laments the savagely wrong state of america. bernie sanders says we are fund mentionly immoral and wrong. elizabeth warren says law enforcement is race frist front to back. he is not alone. he has a lot of company. steve: have you got a lot of the company because there are a lot of people resisting donald trump. if donald trump is saying make america great again are you going to say you are right, donald trump, america is great again. if you do that then you

don't get elected. brian: president obama had a tough time answering that question are you exceptional nation. yeah we all think we are exceptional. steve: different time. ainsley: send comments. in email box is exploding with your comments. steve: it's heating up. ainsley: hand it over to jill i can't say who has more headlines. jillian: the family has the support of the white house. mike pence meeting with mollie tibbets father after his speech in iowa. >> i just wants mollie's family to know you are on the hearts of every american. and we will continue to work and we will continue to pray for mollie's safe return. jillian: 20-year-old vanished nearly a month ago after going for a jog in brooklyn, iowa. officials have been getting so many tips they just added a second server to her website to keep the page up and running. a man is dead after slipping and falling into a vat of

prosecutor and fox news contributor as well u andy, good morning to you. >> steve, great to see you deceive steve when you heard this name tied to this compound in new mexico where allegedly they were trying to teach these little kids how to become school shooters you immediately made the connection. >> there aren't that many sawage. the alleged ringleader of this compound in new mexico is the son of somebody who came up in our investigation back in 1993. steve: he wound up being on a list with people who could be potential troublemakers along with usama bin laden. >> he was on a list of people who we thought could come up in the investigation or could come up in the trial. steve: that's him right there. >> yeah. turned out he didn't -- we did not have to prove anything in the trial about him but he actually did appear as a defense witness, a character witness for. so defendants at the trial. the important thing, steve, is he was a fairly renowned,

i would say notorious sharia supremacist preacher at a mosque in britain very important because the blind sheikh used to preach there as well. and the ideology that they preached is that muslims in the west should start enclaves or parallel societies where they both prepare for violent action against the host country and try to live their lives in accordance with strict interpretation of sharia. steve: that's what they were doing. >> low and behold 30 years knocking your head into wall. what we learned in 1993, if we learned anything in that trial, it was that this is an ideologically driven threat. if you pretend that the ideology is important. if you try investigate it without taking -- without considering the ideology because of political correctness, you are always going to be behind the 8 ball. steve: their attorney says, look, these were just devout

muslims living out in the dessert practices their second amendment rights. in the meantime, it sounds like the judge in this case has granted them all bail at $20,000. they are being held on a variety of other warrants and whatnot. they are not out. still, $20,000? >> yeah. there is no second amendment right to abuse children. we have one dead child here. evidently, we don't -- nothing has been proved yet because of the ritualistic practices that went along with their ideology. it's not about people's freedom under the second amendment. it's about whether we have i mean, look, this country has been at war since 9/11. and it's been at war with an ideology. that has to be taken into accounts along with the other evidence that they find in the compound. steve: read all about it at national review online. andy thanks very much. >> thanks, steve. steve: meanwhile remember the blockbuster store? there is only one left in the entire country and kevin mccarthy is there. is he there in bend, oregon.

said this. steve: the headline is dear nancy pelosi, it's not about you, it's about your party and country. forget being speaker. and then what they do is essentially go through the list and they say look, at least 23 democrats need to gain at least 23 seats to win the majority to run the house for you to have the job. but you are such a polarizing figure they say 45 democratic nominees have already come out and said they will not support you. of the writing is on the wall. bow out. brian: this is a major bullet that the republicans have bring up the fact that most democrats want to be socialists and number two that nancy pelosi will be your speaker. and, guess what? democrats and democratic leaning newspapers are beginning to panic. this is what the editorial said. here is an excerpt. the republican party is now clearly the party of donald trump. the democratic party cannot be seen as the party of nancy pelosi. and win in november. do you understand what's going on in the media is

actually coaching the democratic party. stephen colbert and through editorials like this. ainsley: they say she a distraction. she is so far left. she and several others maxine waters, that she is too much of a distraction. in those states where democrats are facing tough elections, they need to distance themselves and they actually are. they are distancing themselves from her because they need more moderates and they even need republicans to win. steve: here's the thing. i would imagine she will be the star of almost every republicans' ad in the run up to the november midterm they will be running the crumbs bite. that is not helpful to the democrat message. ainsley: they go on to say she can still be in office and have a voice. if she really means what she says about the importance of the democrats retaking the house she needs to accept she will not be speaker. brian: she will never accept that she will fight until the last vote to get the majority and to be speaker. ainsley: she is the master negotiator. she will negotiate.

thanks so much for having me. ainsley: do you think the media is disconnected. >> yeah, i think it's obvious they are. i don't know how you can call yourself intellectually honest and write those two sentences in the same publication. a lot of members of the media are disconnected. i'm including myself in that category at times. you know, my dad owns a small manufacturing company and that helps me to stay grounded and have a realistic perspective works americans and the struggles these have to face and regulatory environment president obama pursued under his presidency. mind you, that's the same president that liked to say if you own a business, you didn't build that yourself. the government built it for you. so, under that kind of leadership, it was really a hostile environment for many business owners, especially under the passage of obamacare. i mean, every single year the insurance broker would come to my dad's business and oftentimes he would say i don't know if i can offer insurance to you or your employees next year. i can't really give you a

perspective on what premiums are going to be. and, you know, that kind of uncertainty is what makes growth in the economy and what makes growth in businesses really stagnant because people are fearful to invest. people are fearful, you know, to invest in their businesses and buy stocks and do different things like that. and when donald trump was elected president. it was very obvious to everyone who was even just glancing at the stock market from time to time or who knew someone who that owned a small business which when are the backbone of america's economy that the collective business environment breathe a giant sigh of relief that we're going to have a president who is not going to be actively attacking small businesses. ainsley: the president oftentimes tweets about his accomplishments some of them are 3.9% unemployment rate. 157,000 jobs added in july 4.1% g.d.p. growth. does your dad think, he is a business owner, is he seeing signs of more money in his

pocket because of president trump or does he credit president obama? >> no. 100 percent. you know, as i said earlier, the entire manufacturing industry in the united states breathed a giant collective sigh of relief when there is going to be a president who wasn't going to actively attack them and use the administrative state to do so. i think it's important to look at, you know, trump's accomplishments in this perspective. ainsley: okay. thank you so much, bre for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: kareem jabar compared songs to slavery. his perspective coming up next. america was never great, at least according to new york's liberal governor. this morning, president trump is firing back and your emails are pouring in on this one ♪ how do you like me now ♪ how you like me now ♪ how you like me now ♪ how you like me now ♪ how you like me now ♪ how you like me now ♪

brian: nba hall of famer kareem abdul jabbar reigniting national anthem debate in a column yesterday, compares forcing athletes to stand to the anthem to songs of slavery writing this it wasn't enough that the slaves had to sing they had to sing oppressive feel good songs currently the song being demanded is the national anthem during football games. i guess that's the oppressor's feel good songs. brandon tatum with turning point u.s.a. is a fellow police officer. brandon do you see what kareem abdul jabbar is talking about? do you see his point of view. >> i see his point of view i think it's incredibly offensive and anti-american. it is as is a nine to believe that slaves. last anytime i checked

slaves weren't getting paid millions of dollars to pick cotton and treated with respect. if they were to take a knee at the plantation they would get beat to death. this speaks to a broader issue of the de rangement we are seeing from these athletes. i don't understand for the life of me why people can't perceive that standing for the national anthem is showing respect to this country, to the freedoms it that are afforded to us. we are in the greatest country on planet earth. i don'i don't understand why kareem would say this. i respect his basketball but his politics and logic are ridiculous. brian: what he is saying is we started on slavery. we had slaves helped build this country especially in the south. that's what took place. therefore, athletes who make up most of these football rosters shouldn't be forced to sing. so is he equating how our country started with 2018. >> yes. it's illegitimate. they are not force to have had sing. they don't have to sing. all they got to do is stand.

it's a policy. this is private job. when i was a police officer in my uniform, i couldn't go and take a knee because i was mad about what barack obama was saying about police officers. i would lose my job and get fired and couldn't provide for my family. he has no excuse for his rhetoric and it's ridiculous. i say that 100 times. it makes no sense. brian: what about hockey players? that league is mostly white. if they were taking a knee for the national anthem, do you think there would be the same outrage? >> no, nobody would care. this thing is about racism. i will say that again. just because you are black don't mean you can't be racist. the oppressors. hot are oppressors? is he talking about white people. that's continuously dividing our country. that's what america is about and that's not what we are made of. these players are the top 1% earners in this country. if they really had a problem they could fix the situation in their own communities based on the money that they make and they are doing it voluntarily. nobody is forcing them to play football. it is a privilege and an honor to play in the nfl.

and if they don't like it and feel so oppressed how about they switch positions with other people who would take that opportunity and take advantage of it and make it better for their own communities. brian: lastly, real quick on their argument, their argument pause we are the 1% we will look back 99% of the black community who don't make the money we have or have the ability we have. what do you say that to that. >> it's 99% of the black community. most black people are in the middle class. a small percentage of the community that these players have come from a lot of them that they could afford dibbably go back and fix. instead of taking a knee, which does nothing, go to your communities and do something about it. brian: gotcha. brandon tatum always good to hear from you. thank you so much. >> thank you. brian: straight ahead, john brennan taking a new jab at donald trump security clearance he did it in editorial section of the "new york times." we will bring you that at the top of the hour. todd piro kicking off a brand new series the all-american summer road trip. he stops in dollywood. he needs a break

in 20 minutes. brian: rand paul brought this up to the president. james clapper keeps beating up on you. john brennan keeps beating up on you. they have high security clearance. what role do they have in our government? why do they deserve high security clearance? it is too much at stake. especially somebody that hates you this much to allow this to happen. you should consider revoking it. president said he considered revoking it. yesterday he revoked the security clearance. steve: john brennan said regarding the president's meeting with mr. putin, it is treasonous and almost approaches high crimes and misdemeanors. the president pulled his security clearance and my be thinking of others who have been critical of him. according to "the wall street journal," one of the reasons the president did this was because he regards mr. brennan as responsible for launching the russia-trump

colluded probe. ainsley: white house, sarah huckabee sanders says brennan has a history that calls his credibility into question. the president has a responsibility to protect classified information, who has access to it. rand paul agree with it. jim jordan agrees with it. brennan does not. he wrote a op-ed in "the new york times." mr. trump is desperate to protect himself and close to him, why he made a politically motivated decision to revoke my security clearance in an attempt to scare and silence others who might dare to challenge him. brian: it is not true. he doesn't like you. your comments are hardly befitting of a cia director. you sound like a 3-dollar pundit. the president indicated in "wall street journal," i don't trust many of these people on the list, the list we'll go over in a second. i think they're duplicitous. not good people. often times the president will let us understand something else is coming down the pike might reveal more john brennan was

involved in as it leads to this russian probe. very curious to see who else is on this list and why. the one person i don't believe belongs on the list is michael hayden. i think michael hayden has been a critic i think he has been somewhat fair. i couldn't put him in the category of clapper and brennan. ainsley: a lot of people once you're out you shouldn't have security clearance. you shouldn't profit on your career in the cia or fbi having security clearance. steve: one of those things we've done in washington for a very long time. retired general from the army, anthony tata was on with brian a little while ago. he had this observation about mr. brennan and his security clearance. >> john brennan is clear and present danger a threat to this nation. he supports the overthrow of this particular president. he needed his access to information revoked. when you look at his track record officially he oversaw the iran deal and all the intelligence. he manipulated isis intelligence

for president obama. he was part of the russian hacking. he was standing down the cyber team. the president made the right decision and in revoking his security clearance. ainsley: a lot of democrats saying the president is trying to silences us, the president is trying to silence him. mark levine made a great point on "hannity" we played later this the show. you can talk all you want. go on msnbc and nbc and talk. nothing to do with that. this is taking away your security clearance. steve: "wall street journal" on op-ed page, they have a instruction for the president, absolutely mr. brennan super partisan but they say, more effective way to fight back for the president would be for him to declassify all of the records that congress has asked from the department of justice and also the fbi. so that the people of the united states would know about any potential law enforcement or intel community abuses. the quote is, as long as president trump refuses to grasp

the metal of his own department of justice to get the story out to the general public by declassifying moves like removing security clearances will remain empty gestures according to "wall street journal" editorial page. brian: mark warner says that is not acceptable but wants congress to pass legislation to not allow the president to revoke anybody's top security clearance. think about that. senator byrd you would think mark warner is the chair children of that committee. you never hear from him. senator warner comes off, a left-wing partisan. fancieds himself somebody doing the work of the people. he is doing the work of the democratic party. senator burr should speak out. he has access to the same thing senator warner does. steve: it was contrary to what the president did. that is why a lot of people are playing the sound bite. here is the sound bite of day as we zoom out quickly. brian: that was my idea.

steve: slowly zoom in, camera two, slowly zoom in. brian: hand me the bullhorn. ainsley: if you're just waking up. what you're talking about is the sound bite of the day. if you're waking up a lot of you are upset with the governor -- brian: want to stand up to get closer? >> steve. no, dave is zooming in. ainsley: the governor of new york made a shocking claim. he said he will not run for president. i hope you do run andrew cuomo. andrew cuomo he shocked the crowd yesterday at a bill signing. he was rebuking the president's make america great again slogan. he shocked the crowd when he said this -- >> we're not going to make america great again. it was never that great.

this is where ellis island is. this is where 12 million immigrants came in for a great america, a better life. that guy who is running as the republican, against cuomo, he said, when i was little, we had food stamps because my mother was single mom. we were just trying to make ends meet. get from that place in my life all the way to running for governor of the state that i love. only in america. brian: you listened close to steve's interview. i know. just add this, that walk-back that you just read was the worst walk-back ever. what i meant to say. ari fleischer would never write that. should say i meant to say, come across differently is this. instead, i know what i said. i would like to say something without denying it, something totally different. then he came out and actually made things worse and brings up the kkk? are you kidding? steve: this one has various shades of greatness. the press secretary said but maximum greatness has still to be --

brian: that would have been interesting had he said that maximum. i meant to say maximum greatness. you correct something, you correct it. rather than change the statement. steve: you have press secretaries to do some walking. brian: who blew it. ainsley: this is tweet from john. personally spent time in 76 countries in the military. this is hands down the greatest country in the world. i will never leave my usa again. steve: another guy by the name of steve is out tweeting. enough is enough with the rhetoric this is disgusting comment, tell that to all the veterans and immigrants that come here because of our greatness. #america was, is and always will be great. brian: so far we have a lot of people that disagree with como. what about tamara, this military mom and military wife would like to hear a personal apology from mr. cuomo. tell you what cuomo actually tweeted out to president trump. let's take a look at it. what you say would be great again would not be great at all.

we will not go back to discrimination, segregation, sexism, isolationism, racism or kkk like new york's motto says, excelsior, ever upward, not backward. what does that mean? you said america was never great. leave trump out of it for a second, number one. 60 million voted for donald trump might have a little problem where you characterize people that support his policies because they're not for isolationism, they're not for the kkk. they're not for sexism. they are voting for president trump and direction he has taken the country. just say i have a different ideology. you don't necessarily have to say the country is bad because the president thinks it's great. steve: he made a mistake in saying that at the get-go. and he is trying to dig himself out of a hole and he keeps digging. so far it's not working or is it? keep emailing us facebooking us or tweeting us. we read it all day long.

second-level delegation. maybe that he will reopen those talks. i particularly am optimistic about europe and mexico. i think that is going to be reassuring. but i just want to say this, look, my messaging this morning, there are so many weird things in the newspapers and in the media. the single, most, important political story, this year, by far, is the economic boom that virtually no one expected to happen. and indeed no one thought would happen except outside the administration. i want to make that point. that is the political story of the career. it is going to continue right through to the election. an economic boom, 4% growth are recent numbers. we can go through this as much as you want but here's my second point, this is going to have a huge impact on the november midterm elections. i know there is a lot of issues out there and so forth and, god knows we're not going through all of them but look, it is

going to have a huge impact. here is a factoid for you, here is a factoid. after tax, after inflation income, think of it as paycheck income, take-home pay to use ronald reagan's, that is a key political economic indicator, it is moved up from 1% only when potus took office to over 3% recently. any political scientists tell you that is the one to watch for elections. i think because paychecks are rising, the economy is growing unexpectedly, the gop will keep the house. keep the congress. that is my take. steve: larry, i don't know if you read "the new york times," i read the reason things are booming because of a combination between donald trump and the great situation barack obama left the government with. >> i love this story, i just love the story because, all my friends who worked in the obama administration, and i have a bunch of them, told us

repeatedly, we could never grow faster than 2%, ever. that was their mantra, okay? now we're growing at 4%, they're saying obama should take credit. in other words, we couldn't grow at two but, uh-oh, we doubled that to four. so we'll give credit to our man. no way. give donald trump some credit for lowering tax rates, rolling back regulations, trade reform. let me add one, the numbers keep rolling in, that's what's so great. consumer confidence numbers, record high and rising. small business confidence number, record high and rising. large business confidence, record high and rising. we're going to see a big number in the third quarter. the atlanta fed is already predicting over 4%. that would make back-to-back 4%. all i'm saying you can't say on the one hand -- these are pals of mine, used toe come on my tv show, you can't tell me on one

hand it will be never better than two, if we double that to four, we take credit for that even though we told you it couldn't happen. it did happen. it is the story of the year. it will be big election impact. brian: president obama blamed president bush for at least three years, maybe six. ainsley: larry, another big story, the headline, the crowd was shocked, when andrew cuomo, the governor of new york, stepped up to the microphone, he was signing this bill, the crowd was shocked when he was rebuking the president's slogan make america great again, when he said this, listen? >> we'll not make america great again. it was never that great. [shouting] ainsley: it was never that great, nerc was never that great. what is your reaction? >> you don't know andrew would say that even his own crowd starts booing him. i have no idea. he is gone off the tracks on

this. can i insert? i don't like to do partisan stuff. i knew andrew cuomo's father, mario cuomo. long time liberal democratic governor. he was a class act. served in the military. no matter your disagreements with mario cuomo, you always got along with him. mario cuomo loved america, fought for it. steve: he was living the american dream. >> why andrew would make a horrible statement like that is beyond belief to me. i just don't get it. brian: yeah, similar, i know you don't like to do partisan stuff, cory booker said something savagely wrong in the state of america. bernie sanders says there is something fundamentally immoral and wrong in nerc. elizabeth warren says law enforcement is racist from front to back. hard to get past this. this is extreme language about our own country.

>> i know. i it reminds me of the '80s, when i was down here working for president reagan because the democratic party in those days was very far to the left in '80s. they always blamed america first. jean kirkpatrick gave famous speech to the gop convention, called san francisco democrats who blame america first. you are seeing a repeat of that. i will say with my limited political scope it is not going to work. the story, again, i don't mean to repeat, the story this year is an economic boom that virtually no one expected. steve: sure. >> frankly whatever you think, president trump, who is completely revised our policies on lower taxes and regulations and energy and trade, you just got to give him credit. no more punishing success. no more attacking business. look at these confidence numbers. there is new management in town. i think it's working, i really

do. steve: larry, quick exit question, i heard we're pretty close to a deal with mexico to right-size nafta. how close are we? you have got 20 seconds? >> ambassador bob lighthizer said we're getting there, we're getting there. so i'm very optimistic about this. i think it would be a huge win for both countries and i think we're going to have a lot of progress on europe as well. ainsley: thank you, larry. brian: larry kudlow, great to see you. do you get a sense he knows how to host a show? ainsley: so much fun to interview because he is so real. a swimmer attacked by a shark just feet from the coast of cape cod. we are live there coming up next with that story. steve: oh, boy. are you prepared for a natural disaster? wherever you are that is always a possibility. skip bedell with how that bag there could save your life if the worst happens. stick around.
