the reality is, the president encouraged all the people who testified to tell the truth. the new york times is suggesting that the be president's white house counsel is cooperating with the special counsel, mueller. they know they don't have a case. there was no obstruction, there was no collusion. the foreller trump -- forelleformertrump advisor plea. there are clear signs that president trump is preparing to strip the security clearances of eight more top former intelligence officials. there is a corrupt attitude that people can maintain their

security clearance even after they don't need them. is this normal for a monday morning. >> >> this is a courtesy call to let you know the film terminator 2 is almost two days overdue. >> what did you think of terminator 2? ♪ do you feel that's pr presum tious? i would never refer to myself that way. >> be kind, rewind. >> don't forget that. >> that's what i remember about blockbuster video stores. >> you don't want to miss the story coming up on blockbuster. >> we grew up on block boss blo. now there's one. >> welcome back rachel. we had a lot of fun yesterday.

we're going to big news today. yesterday we had a freak-out. we seem to have that in the national media every couple weeks. this time, robert mueller has something big. >> they got him this time. >> the new york times breaking this story yesterday afternoon, suggesting that don mcgan has had extensive cooperation with mueller and his team. you see the headline, mcgan has cooperated extensively in mueller inquiry and the bottom line is they made it seem like he had turned on the president, perhaps, that maybe all of this cooperation, hours and hours with the special counsel, meant that the president was cooked. then you start to unwind it a little bit and you find he's cooperated as if saying, look, we don't think the president did anything wrong, talk to us all you displant it's more than that, ed. it isn't just don mcgan. we were talking about his name, don mcgan didn't just say that nothing illegal happened in terms of obstruction.

but the president gave him permission and the president had permission to not let him do it or get a pre-interview and find out what he was going to say and don spoke for three days and 30 hours, totally un unprecedented. the president sounds like somebody who doesn't have anything to hide. >> rachel, you took the legal end of that. you can't just go and testify, talk to a special counsel if you're an attorney and haven't received the client's permission. according to the president he did give permission. he tweeted i allowed white house counsel don mcgan and all other requested members of the white house staff to fully cooperate with the special counsel. we give over 1 million pages of documents. most transparent in history, no obstruction, no l collusion, no witch hunt. >> if you read further and further down in the new york times piece itself, it says that

don mcgan has said to the special counsel and his investigators, he did not see anything where the president acted beyond the boundaries of the law which is the key question. so the headlines suggest there's trouble. the story suggests maybe not. the president's counsel, rudy guliani, was on justice with judge janine and said this is about president and his team cooperating and there's no problem here. watch. >> the reality is that the president encouraged all the people who testified to tell the truth, to take as long as they needed to to do that. the mueller team is panicking. they know they don't have a case. there was no collusion. there was no obstruction. they can't prove it and they are trying to get the president to testify and they're hoping that if they put out a story like this in which they suggest that mcgan is cooperating against him, but don't say it, they don't say it. >> we'll have alan dershowitz on

later in the program. i think rudy guliani is like that this might be a leak that tries to provoke the president into saying well, if someone said this i want to go to the special counsel and say that. rudy guliani and other lawyers on the team are saying you don't need to say anything. >> it's all in the reporting. the reporting states the fact then it alludes to all this stuff as rudy guliani said, suggesting that maybe that don mcgan is turning on the president and maybe the president is worried about this. i mean, i look at this and if any other president had given access like this to its white house counsel to speak to investigators. >> for hours and hours. >> for 30 hours, gave that permission, didn't ask for executive privilege, didn't want to hear what he was going to tell the investigators, the headline would be about how honest and transparent he is. it's weird. i mean -- >> they also turned over more than a million pages of documents as part of the cooperation. >> the press was saying they're free and independent and not

biased. >> speaking of transparency, we have a problem here with our social media outlets who really haven't been too transparent about what they've been doing to conservative outlets. that said, twitter's ceo, jack dorsey, says they don't look at content. take a listen. >> our we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints? and we are not. period. we do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint or ideology. we look at behavior. we need to constantly show we are not adding our own bias, which i fully admit is left -- is more left leaning. we need to remove all bias from how we act and our policies and our enforcement. >> that's semantics right now. he says we look at behavior. but if when you are looking at behavior your algorithms, code words that quite frankly

conserve a atconservatives use,e censoring speech. >> why is it only conservative speech -- they shadow band you. they block you and your content and you don't know it's happening. you figure out why nobody likes my twitter account anymore, nobody's following me, you're not getting responses from people. this is what they do. i think it's time for the doj or congress or somebody to look at anti-trust laws, because they claim in their charter that they are free and open to everybody and he's admit thing have a left bias and we know that people are getting shadow banned based on ideology. >> you don't want to see the justice department and others go in there and over-regulate social media. >> how about opening up to others to compete. competition would be the answer to this, in my opinion. >> i know from a personal perspective, when i was in a little local market on facebook, i had so much interaction on

facebook all the time. now quite frankly, this is a big platform, we're national news, i post the exact same thing, saying here's what i did, a story i did, i get zero on facebook. i'm not going to jump down twitter's throat. i feel like i get a lot of interaction on twitter. facebook has fallen off a cliff. i think it's because i write at fox news. i'm sorry, that's where i work. >> i find the same thing on twitter with my fox news. >> we have been talking about the push now to ban plastic straws that we're seeing going on around the country. now there's a new move in california, this is a state that can run amuck with regulations. now they want to regulate what drinks kids can get at restaurants. there's a bill proposed in call california that gives kids two options at restaurants, either milk or water. >> when i first saw the story, i thought that would make it easier for me when we go out to

restaurants. >> less options. >> in come and ask you do you want soda and of course the kids go i want soda. i'm like no, you can't have soda. i felt like hmmm, but obviously i'm the parent, i want to be able to make that decision and where does it go? some people in california think dairy is bad. i'm from the dairy state. we don't like that. or maybe it's wheat. so how far will this go? that's the question. >> it is a slippery slope. the parents have to actively ask to have soda for their children. again, we're not here saying soda is great. nobody's saying that. >> there's other options like juice. some juices have a lot of sugar. other juices maybe don't. >> it's the parents' choice. >> it's funny, when i was reading the article i thought this, wow, they want to ban soda pop but they want to legalize weed. i'm like you know, as a parent, i'll take the soda. >> we want to know what you think, a lot of parents out there. send us your comments on this one, obviously a talker on

sunday morning, friends@foxnews.com. we begin with a fox news alert. three people shot during a back-to-school peace picnic of all things at playground in chicago. the violence erupted when a group of drunk guys not associated with the event showed up. take a look. >> everything was going well. at the ending of the event, a fight erupted and from that fight, shots were fired. >> one victim is in critical condition and two others are stable. in total, at least 34 people have been shot just this weekend in chicago. two victims have died. a u.s. marine lost at sea is now identified. new hampshire native corporal jonathan courier fell overboard earlier this month. the u.s.s. he's see.s.s.e.x. was conducting routine operations at the time. courier has been declared dead.

welcome back. take a look at these headlines. reporting a story of an illegal immigrant man ripped away from his pregnant wife while they were on the way to the hospital so she could give birth. that sounds pretty inflammatory, right? one thing they managed to leave out in the headlines, i.c.e. says the man, the illegal immigrant, in fact, is wanted for murder. so why isn't the media giving the full story upfront? here to react is someone who has seen the illegal i'm grant crisis up close, art delguido. what do you make of the fact that the media says x, y and they leave out z, which is kind of important? >> it's very important. but i think you got certain members of the media are doing a fantastic job in leading their own political push and their own political thoughts on something

like this. this is where it upsets me and upsets many agents and it should upset all the americans that are out there reading and watching these headlines. these individuals that are choosing to read one headline are the same individuals that are out there calling border patrol agents and i.c.e. agents the men and women that put their lives on the line each and every day the word nazi. i think that not only do they fail to read the entire story, they only read certain headlines, but i think they failed to read history and see what a nazi really is. and you see it all the time. when you see these type of headlines, you look at the comments and you see the people out there that are just actively attacking and not just people, regular people, but politicians that are attacking agents and attacking i.c.e. it's just disgusting. he's wanted for murder. >> . that's the reality. >> if you only did half of your job like these individuals in the media are reporting on this

illegal immigrant who was trying to take his wife to a c-section, leaving out the murder part, imagine if you did half of your job, what would happen? >> not only that, but there seems to be a lot of confusion with certain members of the media when it comes to legal immigration and illegal immigration. >> right. >> and the reality is, none of us are against immigration. we're against illegal immigration. that's also a word they choose to leave out. they choose to call a lot of us anti-immigration. we're not anti-immigration. we're anti-illegal immigration. >> why do you think the media, mainstream media acts like this and does these sorts of things? >> i think a lot of it is because it sells certain stories. that's what it comes down to. that's why i think it's important for people like you, a lot of the stories that come out of fox news, i think it's important, even when i come on this show -- i've been blessed enough to be on your show several times and you see some of the people that like to troll on your own sites and attack me

because i'm hispanic myself. the reality is that my parents were legal immigrants to this country. i believe in the legal system. i think that we are a country of laws and those laws need to be enforced. and they need to be respected. we have too many people that laugh at our laws, that come in here, into our country illegally. they want to avoid inspection and once they're apprehended, that's when they're quick to claim some type of asylum. >> in the time we have remaining, what do you want the american people to know about the job that border patrol does? >> i wouldn't have enough time to explain it. the reality is, we have welded kateed men and women that do the job. we're enforcing the laws and the reality is, we don't go wake up in the morning, wanting to arrest a certain particular type of race. we wake up in the morning to arrest criminals. that's what we do. we arrest criminals that try to bother our country and try to

laugh at our laws. illegal is not a race. >> understood. it's a situation where you guys are just trying to keep us safe and the attacks that you receive is completely unwarranted and sad and we appreciate your sacrifice and trying to do your job. we sincerely do. art, thanks for getting up with us. >> thank you. conservatives being silenced on social media, what happens next? wilwill whip joins us with how y plan to take on facebook. and a deputy saves a little girl locked in a hot car after beinged trapped for more than 12 hours. the heroic rescue just ahead when "fox & friends" on a sunday morning returns. know what? no, what? i just switched to geico and got more.

that two of our posts had been removed for hate speech violations and then friday morning we wake up and we go into work and 15 of our posts had actually been censored by facebook. they weren't being seen by our 3 million audience on facebook. they weren't being seen anybody. the two videos that were removed from facebook before the two video posts, they actually had been posted on facebook before with no problems. which shows the inadequacies with how they judge these things. >> first of all, thank you for all the videos that you do. i think that they're very powerful. i think that's why they're doing that, don't you? because i know so many young people and not just from conservative families but independent families, just kind of curious and that's what the internet's for and your videos are powerful. they like them. i don't believe this is going to stop. >> it's tough to say what's going to happen next. we saw the president tweet about big tech censore censorship with conservative companies. this is becoming a

mainstream issue. we will not be silenced anymore. >> here are some examples of videos removed by facebook, including one video at least titled make men masculine again and where are the moderate muslims. these were videos, clearly that had been posted as you say, facebook has been censoring some of them. are they back up, will? how quickly -- when they say this is a mistake, we swear we're not censoring conservatives, you are obviously skeptical of that. where are we with that now? >> they actually -- we're not censored anymore right now. they reinstated some of the posts they censored, the ones no one was seeing before. they always say it's a mistake. they always say it's a mistake and we're not buying it. it happened, too many conservative pages, too many times. we want to be friends and partners with facebook. when they restrict our videos or

censor us for a video that talks about men being men, it seems a little off to us. we don't want to stand for that. >> we heard jack dorsey, ceo of twitter, we're talking about facebook here but we heard jack dorsey say we don't focus on politics. we have an algorithm and it just does what it does. that's not our focus, although we are somewhat left-leaning in terms of the people that work for us. how do you respond to that? >> i personally don't buy that either. i think definitely these big tech companies are biased to the left and we don't want to stand for big tech algorithms and leftist hate speech monitors, the faceless hate speech monitors that restrict conservative views. this is what's happening. the evidence all points that they are restricting conservative views on their platforms. >> you actually have the time to figure out they're doing that. i think there's millions of conservatives that don't know they're shadow banned or their content is being removed. what's the answer here, will?

is it competition? do you think the doj should step up and there should be anti-trust moves made in order to open this up to other platforms? >> well, in these companies, a lot of these big tech companies mission statements they talk about being an open forum, open to everybody which means they can't censor someone for political views. either you're a public forum open to everyone or you're a publishing tool with editorial permissions which according to the communications decency act would open them up to claims of libel and defamation. they couldn't survive that. >> sounds like you've got a plan. >> will, we appreciate you coming in. >> thank you. cynthia nixon all-in on the socialist bandwagon, even pitching some of their ideas like universal rent control. it turns out she might not even understand how that works. she's running for governor here.

extremely intelligent judge he's one of the sharpest legal thinkers in the country. he's a fair minded, independent judge. he brings a lot of care and expertise when he looks at the issues and cases. usa today, the day after he was nominated, referred to him as on paper perhaps one of the most qualified nominees in generations. and so it was a real honor to work for him and i learned a lot from that time and if the senate were to confirm him i expect he would continue to be a thought leader, independent, fair-minded judge on the supreme court for decades to come. >> his reputation from other sources that we heard who worked for him say he's great for women, mentoring women, is that your experience as well? >> it is. judge kavanaugh keeps up with his law clerks. he's had more women than menace as law clerks. he's probably had one of the strongest record of hiring women. he's known for appreciating devees at this of thought, --

diversity of thought, gender, across the board. he takes into account a lot of different perspectives and is fair in terms of how he treats people and how he rules on the issues. >> on the democrats' side there's a lot of resistance towards his nomination. they're very united in that. one of the things they're saying right now is they don't have enough information about him. what do you say to that? >> my understanding is that so far more than 200,000 pages of records have been made available to the senate judiciary committee. but also judge kavanaugh has been on the court of appeals for 12 years. so he's written more than 300 opinions and he's in-depth in those cases shown the american public how he would rule as a judge. he takes issues case by case. he looks at both sides. he examines the text of law precedent. and quite frankly, he believes an independent judiciary is the crown jewel of our constitutional system and he's applied the law in every case, whatever outcome it reaches to, whether it's more for interests in favor of government action or against government action, for

republican aligned interests or democratic aligned interests, it doesn't matter as long as it's consistent with the law. >> for the record, he has, what, 300 public cases for anyone to review, he's turned over thousands of documents. ism not sure if getting anymore is going to change chuck schumer's mind. we appreciate your perspective on all this. do you think he's going to be confirmed before the midterm elections? >> i do think he is. he would be a wonderful justice on the supreme court if the senate were to confirm him and i just urge everyone to look at his opinions and his fair mindedness and look at the record of people on both sides, bipartisan support, a former attorney -- former attorneys and practitioners under president obama and others have referred to him as qualified and fair and he would be a wonderful supreme court justice. >> thank you for joining us and giving us that personal insight into who he is. >> thank you for having me. >> have a great morning. do you think there's a growing sentiment of

it was never that great. there's things that are savagely wrong with this country. there's a normalcy of injustice that we accepted. there's something immoral and wrong that a nation in which we have three people who own more wealth than the bottom half of the american people. >> democrats' anti-american rhetoric getting so out-of-control that our next guest says she knows foreigners that are more american that our elected officials. >> here to explain is alana from turning point usa. tell us about your story and what you're hearing about some of this rhetoric. >> thanks for having me. i guess being the daughter of italian immigrants to the united states and paying attention to my parents and my grandparents

when they talked about the hardships that they had to endure in the old country and coming here and then seeing how fast or how quickly we can advance in this country, being able to take advantage of the opportunities that are prevalent in this country, so we owe all of this to america, the fact that, you know, i grew up in a much different lifestyle than my father grew up in, compared to his father. so a lot has changed and very fast because of the opportunities that exist in this country. >> i'm also by the way the daughter of a foreign-born immigrant. you will never meet someone more patriotic than my mom. i think immigrants have a unique perspective on america. they just simply don't take it for granted. what was your parents' reaction or your reaction when you heard andrew cuomo say -- he said we're not going to make america great and it was never that great. really odd statements. >> it's very appalling to hear a

governor of new york, an elected official get on the stage and tell the american people that america was never really that great, especially given the fact that he, like myself, is also the decedent of italian immigrants. he should know better than to say something so assinine. >> thank you for taking the time, giving us your insight. still ahead, alan deer vo dershowitz, tammy bruce, diamond and silk, it's a huge show, they're all coming up live when "fox & friends" returns on a sunday morning. ♪ get up to $2,500 customer cash on select 2018 nx 300 models. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

here's something you should know. there's a serious virus out there that 1 in 30 boomers has, yet most don't even know it. a virus that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. hep c can hide in the body for years without symptoms. left untreated it can lead to liver damage, even liver cancer. the only way to know if you have hep c is to ask

your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us, it's time to get tested. it's the only way to know for sure. the reality is, the president encouraged all the people who testified to tell the truth. the new york times breaking this story, you see the headline there, mcgahn, white house counsel cooperated extensively in mueller inquiry. they made it seem like he turned on the president. they know they don't have a case. there was no collusion. there was no obstruction. they can't prove it. twiter's ceo says they don't look at content according to political ideology. >> we don't look at content with regard to political viewpoint or ideology. we need to show we are not adding our own bu bias, which i fully admit is more left-leaning. lee greenwood proud to be a father. >> they are all smiles, dropping

>> my mom lived in hawaii. >> we have a big show, alan deer dershowitz, other guests coming in. the robert mueller investigation, now confirming he allowed one of his lawyers, a key one inside the white house, the white house counsel to cooperate with mueller's investigation. >> it comes after the new york times reported that don mcgahn is cooperating extensively. >> we have details on what we know about their discussions. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. despite the hea headlines, we've known that don mcgahn has been cooperating with the mueller investigation. this story by the times suggests he shared a lot more details about his personal conversation was the president than we previously knew. a source familiar with the investigation confirms to fox news, mcgahn spoke to mueller at length on three occasions, and the report cites unnamed

officials that in the meetings mcgahn provided detailed accounts about president trump's actions and state of mind surrounding key events that mueller is looking into to determine if the president obstructed justice including the firing of james comey and his push for jeff sessions to take control of the mueller probe. however, the article states, quote, mr. mcgahn cautioned to investigators that he never saw mr. trump go beyond his legal authorities, though the limits of executive power are murky. president trump responded to this report on twitter, stating, quote, i allowed don mcgahn and all other requested members of the white house staff to fully cooperate with the special counsel. we ready gave over 1 million pages of documents. the former lead outside attorney john dowd also cast shade on the report telling fox news that don mcgahn was a very strong witness for the president. back to you.

>> garrett, we prior yal apprec. when the story broke yesterday afternoon, there was a media freak-out. every few weeks there's a quote, unquote, scoop that says now they've got him. now they got the president. there's breaking news, don mcgahn is cooperating extensively, he's interviewed for something like 30 hours. this is it. then you read down and down and down and as garrett gives you the facts, it also reports that don mcgahn didn't have anything suggesting that the president went beyond the law in terms of dealing with the mueller investigation. so this sounds like a lot of rhetoric and a whole lot of nothing. >> also, if you don't know who dan mcgahn is, he is a white house counsel and also a very early supporter of the president, came on early on, one of the top election attorneys in all of the country and kind of considered a rock star in the white house. he o orchestrated all of the federal judges that we're seeing

elected. the implication is that he's turning on the president. some people, i watched janine last night as well, and she and others are suggesting that maybe this story was planted, leaked by the mueller investigation to sort of create this feeling, make the president nervous about having granted this access. >> the mainstream media takes the bait. they're so reactionary. as you pointed out, don mcgahn cannot talk to special counsel robert mueller unless he has permission of his client who is president donald j. trump, attorney/client privilege, executive privilege. rudy judiciar guliani weighed i. the president didn't do anything wrong. that's why don mcgahn was speaking to the special counsel. take a listen. >> the president encouraged all the people who testified to tell the truth, to take as long as they needed to to do that and as long as they did, they'll have no problem with the president or

us and we have no reason to believe that don mcgahn didn't do that and as john dowd, who was the president's lawyer at the same today loudly and clearly, don mcgahn was the strongest witness for the president, meaning he completely gave testimony that said that the president didn't do anything wrong, which the president didn't do. he didn't do anything wrong. >> it is shocking how much time, three days, 30 hours, total transparency, permission given by the president for him to do this. you would think the headline would be wow, the president is fully cooperating with the mueller investigation. >> to your point, also don mcgahn and others in the white house turned over over 1 million pages of documents. >> that's a lot. >> that's not an administration hiding things. e-mails, he's the documents. think about months and months ago george papadopoulos pleading guilty to lying to the fbi.

he's going to turn on the president. they're squeezing him. what did we learn on friday? he's going to go to jail. this is serious stuff. he lied to the fbi. he's going to jail for a month to six months. why? he has nothing, repeat, nothing on the president. he made the mistake of lying to the fbi. he's going to pay a price for it. at the end of the day, this is not bringing down the president. >> we're going to talk to alan dershowitz about that later on in the show. can't wait to hear what he has to say. another topic that we've been talking about all week long is the john brennan revocation security clearance issue. the president said, did anyone look at the mistakes that john brennan made while serving as cia director? he will go down easily as the worst in history. he has become a loud mouth partisan political hack who cannot be trusted with the secrets to our country. >> it's a great point. the reason for having the secret

service clearance is that you can provide advice to the incoming administration, incoming cia director, but the truth is, john brennan's record is horrible. isis grew under his watch. he allowed analysts who gave information about isis to massage that information to meet the political narrative of the obama administration. that's why we saw isis grow and by the way, thousands of young girls fall into sexual slavery by isis. this guy has a horrible record. good for the president for pointing this out. john brennan is doing everything he can to undermine and take down this president. i think the president's done a good thing. >> i think the president is reacting to the fact that john brennan has had dozens of intelligence officials rush to his defense and say he is a good man. tom at thtom at the feti nsaid b

corrupt attitude with the use of security clearances and how they're trying to weaponize intelligence against president trump. >> it's the deep state. there's a corrupt attitude that people can maintain security clearances after they don't need them. not only should be brennan or anyone who loses their job at the federal government should lose their security clearances. this group that gets courtesy security clearance it's at odds with the public interest and the national security. >> the public interest and some former officials keeping security issues would be god forbid there's an urgent crisis, you want to be able to call on not just the existing team but reach back to the obama, bush administration, even the clinton administration, how did you deal with x and y, you want them to be up-to-speed and be able to help you. john brennan is doing quite the opposite. he's not working with this administration.

he has been trying to underpresident trump at every turn. >> that picture we showed of all those people that just earlier, those are all the people that russian election meddling happened under all their watch. >> in 2016. >> in 2016. >> when barack obama was president. >> that's right. these are the people that did nothing, that didn't even warn the trump campaign there was a possibility that their campaign could have been inphi traited -- infilintraitedinfiltrated by th. >> this is not 100% abouta 100%o the yates of america. when they have a security clearance they can make more money in the private sector that require security clearance for high level jobs. if somebody's coming into your pocketbook potentially, you may have a reaction like this and couch it under the terms, it's bad for the country. take a step back for a second. >> we'll dig deeper, alan deer

you heard the focus on russia. president trump has been highlighting another threat on the global stage and that's china. the president tweeting all of the fools that are so focused on looking only at russia should start looking in another direction, kai that. in the end, -- china. if in the end, if we're smart and well prepared, we'll get along with everyone. a new report warns china's air force is likely training for potential strikes against the u.s. is this another sign that china is our next biggest threat. here with insight is morgan ortegas. good morning, morgan. >> good morning. nice to see you. >> good to see you what do you think about the pentagon report? how concerned should we be about the idea that the commie niece r force is preparing for strikes? >> i've been talking about china

for a while. we've been talking about what they've done to expand throughout the world. i think this is something that all of our viewers should be paying attention to. what china is trying to do is to build their military to be a near peer competitor to the united states. since the fall of the soviet union, we haven't seen a near peer competitor from a military perspective. so we have the russians which are once again being active and you're seeing more of their submarines and the chinese are building carriers and submarines, which have an active land component as well. so i think it's something for us to watch. it's something for us to be careful to note. again, they are trying to increase in size to be the competitor to the u.s., especially we've heard a lot about the south china sea where the chinese are building fake islands, propping up slabs and surveillance and other equipment there. that's goes to the central part of what we're trying to do in asia which is freedom of seas, freedom of navigation. >> i want you to react to the

report. this is part of what the defense department said. over the last three years, the people's liberation army rabidly expanded its over water bomber operating areas, gaining experience in critical maritime regions and likely training for strike as we mentioned a moment ago against the u.s. and allied targets. how should we be reacting from a military standpoint and then i want to get into other components of the battle. how should we prepare at the pentagon? >> i think it's important for us to continue our presence in eye asia. they want to have a spear of influence over the asian region. they want to control the area. right now where we have our allies in taiwan and japan and south korea, australia, others, and so the chinese do not like that we're in their backyard. they don't like that we bring their carriers near their shore. so continuing to show our capability, continuing to do exercises there and continuing to show that we're not seeding that region is important.

over the past 10 to 15 years we've been distracted in iraq and afghanistan for good reasons. what's happened that is the chinese, as we've seen in this report, are expanding their capabilities dramatically. it's not just with conventional weapons, is with a.i. weapons, drones, satellites, a lot things we don't see on a regular basis. >> a lot of insight. you can go to foxnews.com, another analyst is saying the president's policies could help us outpace china economically and that's another part of the battle. check it out at foxnews.com. a phoenix police officer ambushed, the latest in a rise of violent attacks against our men and women in blue. a panel of police chief discuss fighting that war on cops, next.

and our training hasn't really stepped up to that level as much. >> chief busby, what do you think can be done to stop it? >> well, we continue to speak to our colleagues on a regular basis about exercising the same amazing restraint and professionalism they have throughout this entire tragic era. as chief brosano said, resiliency factors are there, training factors are definitely there. we also work with community partners to raise the level of understanding between the communities and their police. this has been a process that goes back at least five years and probably more like a decade. we've made some advances. we're hoping to continue to do so. >> you mentioned things that officers can do. it seems to me if i'm looking at the job of an officer, they've got a lot to worry about without adding extra responsibilities. i understand that you're being judicious and saying we need to do these things. what can the general public do,

done? >> i believe there is something that can be done. respect factors definitely come into play. i also think a society we have a lot of societyal issues that need to be focused on. for instance, mental health. according to the treatment advocacy centers, a law enforcement officer is five and-a-half more times likely to be killed by someone with an undiagnosed mental illness. it's an issue, we need institutions, the doctors, the counselors, all to step in and start playing their role. families, people within the community that see these things and step forward and help us to resolve these issues because if we're getting involved, it's actually too late. >> chief busby, same question to you. >> part of the problem is the diagnosed individuals who are being released by state governments across the nation and increasingly large numbers. our officers are often encounterinencountering these ft

extensively with the mueller inquiry, sitting down with the special counsel's investigators for some 30 hours over three different meetings. bottom line is that the way this screaming headline came out and a lot of the reaction in the mainstream media, we've seen this dance before. a story comes out in the new york times or the washington post suggesting the president's finally caught. somebody has turned on him. we heard that with george papadopoulos. we heard that with general flynn flynn. we heard it with part of many times. rachel: right. ed: it has not happened, at least not yet. the investigation goes on. but when you read down in the story, you find that in that testimony, a, the president said "i want you to talk to the special counsel." >>right. he gave permission. ed: and, b, don mcgahn told the special counsel's team that he knows of no evidence that the president operated beyond the boundaries of the law. is there any "there" there. todd: the president of course up and tweeting on a sunday morning morning. here's what he wrote on this very topic. "the failing new york times wrote a fake piece today implying that because

white house counsel don mcgahn was giving hours of testimony to the special counsel, he must be a john dean type rat. but i allowed him and all others to testify. i didn't have to. i have nothing to hide." he continues "and have demanded transparency so that this rigged and disgusting witch hunt can close. so many lives have been ruined over nothing. mccarthy at his worst. dems have refused to look at the real crimes on the other side. media is even worse." >>and the president makes a very interesting point because obviously somebody leaked to the new york times that don mcgahn gave 30 hours of testimony to the investigators. but if you read the new york times article, it makes it sound super shady like don mcgahn turned on the president which would be a big deal. don mcgahn is an attorney, came

very on into the administration; so you wonder why isn't the new york times headline "president trump transparent, giving his white house counsel permission to speak." >>that would be one way to play the story. ed: and you don't have to believe the president's tweets. you can actually read the actual new york times story as we did. and we read it for you. among other things the story actually says mr. mcgahn caution cautions to investigators that he never saw mr. trump go beyond his legal authority, though the limits of executive power are murky. so if the entire story is hung on the idea that executive power is murky, so that means the whole investigation's blowing up the president might be impeached impeached. calm down, everybody. we've heard this before. todd: you know what this is like like? this is like watching the video of a field of puppies playing but has sinister music in the background. you think something sinister but it's a field of puppies. ruud has a much more eloquent explanation as to why the president let this happen. here's what he had to say.

>> the reality is that the president encouraged all the people who testified to tell the truth, to take as long as they needed to to do that. the mueller team is panicking. they know they don't have a case case. there was no collusion. there was no obstruction. they can't prove it, and they are trying to get the president to testify. and they're hoping that if they put out a story like this in which they suggest that mcgahn is cooperating against him, -- but don't say it. they don't say t.at ed: what they also don't say is when the president instructed don mcgahn, who is you counsel, and others cooperating in the investigation, they also said white house lawyer ty cobb turned over a million pages of documents. so this is not a white house who's claimed executive privilege, said, "mr. mueller, we're not giving you anything." they turned over a million pages of documents. and in that previous tweet the president talked about the idea the times and others are trying to make it like don mcgahn is going to be john dean, richard

nixon's white house counsel who turned on him, a rat, as the president says. instead it's the opposite. i told mcgahn to cooperate, and he did. rachel: exactly. somebody who's trying to hide something doesn't tell the white counsel who's in the room complaining about james comey or the russia investigation, doesn't say "go ahead. i don't need to hear what you're going to say ao that. i'm not going to exert my executive privilege, i'm not going to exert my attorney-client privilege. go tell them the truth." why is that not the headline and why is the new york times so cynical that they think if the president gave this permission to don mcgahn, it must be that he's setting don mcgahn up? there's nothing there. there's no "there" there. ed: i spoke to a source close to the president last night who was saying they've known what the new york times reported for a long time, that the president instructed don mcgahn to cooperate. when it's reported to the larger public did not know the machinations behind the scenes, it sounds like a screamer. "oh, my gosh, what happened?" and this person close to the president said we've known for

months that don mcgahn spoke to them and said, by the way, president did not do anything outside the boundaries of the wall. important point. we'll talk about it, by the way, in a little while with alan dershowitz who knows a lot about all of this. todd: as rachel pointed out earlier if another administration not named trump had done this, the article would be "transparency like we've never seen before." >>absolutely. todd: there's another situation that we're watching out there. we've been talking about it a lot over the last couple days. shadow banning, censoring of conservative voices. this is a hot topic these days, and we've had people on discussing it. basically what it seems, there's content that's provided, and if it's a conservative voice, somehow the algorithm that looks for bad things, let's say, always seems to find a way to censor conservative voices, whether it's facebook, whether it's twitter, whether it's youtube. ed: when the censorship should really be about if the word "violence" comes up or a word that triggers a problem, like, oh, gosh, something bad is

happening happening, white supremacy, a rally that might be going beyond the norms, the decency, the -- rachel: it always seems -- ed: -- standards that we all try to live by, but instead if the word "conservative" or the word "trump" has censorship, that's a big prob.em rachel: that is a big problem. twitter says, oh, it's just a mistake. do we have the quote up there? "we mistakenly removed these videos and will restore them because they don't break our standards. this will reverse any content problem you've had and" -- oh, i don't buy it at all. not even for a a sec.nd ed: neither was will witte, who is with prager u. here's his answer to facebook. >> we want to be friends and partners with facebook but when they restrict our videos or censor us for a video that talks about men being men, it seems a little off to us. you're a public forum open to

everyone or you're a publishing tool with open permission which according to the communications decency act would open them up to thousands upon thousands of claims of libel and defamation. the more they censor us, the more they embolden us to actually speak out and do something about it. we will not be silenced anymore. todd: prager u one of the organizations in the crosshairs of censoring social media. the funniest thing, we talked about about it yesterday, the george will video on facebook, and kimberley strassel putting out an article on free speech gets censored. it's unbelievable. rachel: i wonder what the left is afraid of? we're going to turn now to your headlines. we begin with a fox news alert. three people shot during a back-to-school peace picnic at a playground in chicago the violence erupting when a group of showed up. >> everything was going well and at the ending of the event, a fight erupted, and from that fight, shots were fi.ed

attacked, not yelled at, not hazard, and yet on the today show they mentioned the next morning that he had been heckled that the crew -- heckled i guess -- ed: that's a lot more serious. >> pretty dramatic. but the dynamic with that is now you've got media with narratives attached and interests attached and this is their problem, that normally you could just report the news because it's an event that the people should know about. but when the news conflicts with your narrative then suddenly you've got a drama, and that's what we see here. ed: when the president tweets about it you need a band-aid. >> right. ed: that new mexico compound, the coverage of that is pretty remarkable where you had these islamist extremists basically training kids to potentially launch school shootings, which would be horrific, obviously. the coverage, august 13th to the 17th, nbc news -- this is nightly news, two minutes, 8 seconds, cbs, 2 minutes, 1 second. abc, 1 minute, 22 seconds. it seems like obviously when there's a school shooting, rightly so, there's a lot of coverage of it.

>> course. ed: when there's any kind of violence in america, and it should be covered. but this one didn't seem to fit a narrative so nobody wants to talk about it. >> plus the horror of it. i think this is the first time that we found a compound training ostensibly people to become terrorists, involving also the death of a child who had been kidnapped, child abuse, all kinds of weapons. and yet it seems like it didn't exist or it wasn't worth covering. this is, again, another dynamic where you've got news of interest to everyone across the spectrum, legitimate news that you could just report that any investigative reporter or any reporter would be interested in, very straightforward coverage, but also an expansion of the nature of the war on terror, et cetera. and yet you've got literally two minutes, to maybe less than a minute and a half of coverage while during the last few weeks their coverage was obsessing on a porn star and other strange news that fits their narrative against the president. ed: that they covered breath breathlessly. it's not a news story about

stormy daniels or anyone else. >> exactly. ed: alexandria ocasio-cortez. this is a beaut really. she bans the press from a town hall meeting. she says she did it so that people who are in vulnerable communities, immigrants and others, would, quote, unquote, " "feel safe," as if the media being there would be horrible. if donald trump banned the media from a town hall, dare i say it would be a national crisis. >> it would. and look, media was saying that if you're going to do that, then have a private event. these are public town halls to discuss issues that her constituency are facing, her district would face. and yet she banned the media. the other story is this happened on a sunday. no one covered -- and the media knew it was banned because they were banned. no one covered it until the queens chronicle, local paper, did a story on thursday, then suddenly this weekend it became news. so not only were they banned, and that's in and of itself a story, the news media itself didn't tell anybody that they were banned.

so this becomes, of course, the absurdity. all three of these stories were about leaving things out, trying to keep the public ignor.nt ed: if it doesn't fit their narrative, local news important a reminder as well because as you mentioned the conveniences chronicle put it out there. >> and the president clearly is concerned, but local media can try to break that wall. ed: yeah. and at least some in the mainstream i would say, some on the left actually called out ocasio-cortez for that. >> days later. when the chronicle covered it. ed: all right, tammy bruce. thank you. a new report out this morning patio the president against special counsel robert mueller, but the president says it's fake news. alan dershowitz will react live next. plus, milk or water? that's it. those could soon be the only drink options for your kids at any restaurant in california if the government gets its way. diamond and silk are here to weigh in live. they've got some opinions. ♪ i can't go for that. no. no can do the fact is, there are over ninety-six

ed: thanks, todd. meanwhile, the president up and tweeting this morning, you've heard a little bit about it, slamming the new york times for their report on white house counsel don mcgahn. rachel: the president saying, quote, some members of the media are very angry at the fake story in the new york times. they actually called to complain and apologize. a big step forward from the day i announced the times has been fake news and with their disgusting new board member, it only gets worse. todd: here with his inside author of "the case against impeaching trump" and harvard law professor emeritus, alan dershowitz. mr. dershowitz, thanks so much for about being here. if this were your client, would you condone your client waiving the attorney-client privilege or in this case the executive privilege to allow you to testify if you had something to hide? >> it's a very, very tough call for any lawyer. look. there is no lawyer lawyer-client privilege between the president of the united states and the white house counsel. the white house counsel is not the personal lawyer of the president. he or she is the lawyer for the

white house, the government of the united states. so there was probably no lawyer-client privilege to waive waive. as far as executive privilege is concerned, it's a tough call. and unless you know everything that the lawyers know, it's awfully hard to second-guess it, because the president's position is he did nothing wrong. and if he did nothing wrong, he has nothing to fear from his white house counsel having a full sit-down with the special counsel. alice it doesn't risk anything for the president because the president can't be charged with anything based on what the counsel said, he can't be charged with lying to a febrile official of perjury or anything of that kind perform so it's a tough call. at the time they made it, the president's position and his lawyer's position was full cooperation with special counsel in an effort to try to end the investigation as soon as possible. that didn't work. the investigation continues. it looks like it's never ending. it continues. there's still negotiation about

whether the president should testify. i think the bottom line is it's less bad for the president to have special -- have his counsel testify or white house counsel testify and have him speak to special counsel, because he speaks to special counsel and says anything that's contradicted by another witness, he's essentially walked into a perjury trap, even if he did nothing wrong. rachel: professor; so the president gives his attorney -- i mean, gives the white house counsel permission to go speak, says be transparent, tell him everything, and yet the investigation doesn't end. was that naive of the president to think it would, and does that say more about the investigators that they're maybe not after the truth; maybe they're after a scalp, because apparently what we did learn from the new york times article is that don mcgahn said that the president didn't do anything wrong, after 30 hours of testimony. >> yeah. what they're interested in in the special counsel's office is writing a scathing report to congress. but the thing that's wrong with

the special counsel is that you have a regular u.s. turn investigating a case and nothing comes of it, that's no big deal, they go on to the next case. but if a special counsel spends tens of millions of dollars, hires an enormous number of staff members and comes up empty or with small numbers of indictments against low-hanging fruit, people who had very little or nothing to do with the subject in the investigation, well, then, he's a failure, and nobody wants to be a failure. and that's why special counsel who come in with essentially targets on the back of certain people persist, persist, and persist until they think they can come up with something. and so i think maybe it was a bit naive to think that mueller would end the investigation when they had access to special counsel. this investigation looks like it's going to go beyond the 2018 midterm elections because we're getting close to a point where they can't release the report without influencing the election and that would be in violation of the department of justice rules.

ed: and professor, you talked about this dragging on. and the mcgahn story yesterday and this morning in the new york times reminded me how many times before we've seen the media melt down with, "a-ha. maybe mueller has finally got him." they did this months ago when george papadopoulos pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i., and you heard a lot of people say he's going to turn to the president. listen to this and we'll get you to react. >> guilty plea from a former trump campaign adviser named george papadopoulos, an even bigger bombshell, this time pointing directly to the question of collusion. >> how is it not collusion when george papadopoulos who is in contact with various people who are promising dirt on hillary clinton -- >> papadopoulos information has the one keyword that should frighten everybody in the white house, and that keyword is "guilty." ed: a bombshell, jim acast asaid it might show that there was collusion. guess -- jim acosta said there was collusion. guess what he said on friday? going to get one to six months in prison.

still lied to the f.b.i. can't minimize that. but more importantly, he has nothing to testify against the president, and they called it a bombshell. >> the reason that so many commentators have been so wrong on their predictions about everything they've said is because they are substituting hope for reality. they have an agenda. they want to get the president. and so they read every single news report as supporting their agenda. the reason i've been correct in virtually all of my predictions is i have no interest in this other than civil liberties and explaining the law. i'm trying to predict and explain what i think the law will say and do. and i've been generally correct about that because i haven't mixed my hope or aspirations into my professional judgment about what i think the law is and what the law will come out. i'm not -- i'm distinguishing between what i want the law to be and what the law currently is is. and you under the law as it currently is, this is not a big

deal, and people have understood that. ed: professor, you stuck to the law, not an agenda. that's very important. that's why we try to have you on every weekend. thanks for coming in. todd: thanks, professor. todd: come up, cynthia nixon all in on the socialist abandon wagon, even talking about rent control. but she doesn't understand how that works. rachel: and rachel: and twitter's c.e.o. making a stunning admission about bias. >> we fully admit we are left lean.ng rachel: diamond and silk here to react. ♪ maybe you don't know me 'cause you're dead wrong. what doesn't kill you makes you stronger chicken?! chicken.

you know, we're lefties. but then when you fete to the other part of that which is we're trying to keep the bias out, are they really keeping the bias out or are they targeting or shadow banning or censoring commentary. let's bring in diamond and silk, social media stars, supporters of the president. they make that clear in all their appearances. good morning, ladies. >> good morning. ed: what's your message to the head of twitter? >> stop being biased. and remove the algorithm. and keep your platform, make it balanced. it needs to be balanced from both sides, stop the shadow banning and stop censorship the censorship. remove algorithm. >> and if you as twitter do not get it together you will be the tweet without the bird or the bird without the tweet. rachel: you guys are one of the first to be banned on social media, on twitter, on facebook. you brought a lot of attention to it. you at least feel a little bit vind dated finally other people are stepping forward? because when you came out some people thought you guys were, you know, a little bit kooky

about it. >> they called us liars, they said it was a hoax, and they all owe us an apology, those on the left, and those on the right. >> that's right. >> but i am so happy that people are speaking out. yes, we do feel vindicated. that has been happening to conservative voices. anybody that supports our president, that's patriotic and that love our country and it has got to stop. >> and we're being featured in a film called "dummycrats" and just the other day facebook stopped the advertisement on that particular film or that promotion won't even let us advertise to the people that have like and had followed our page, and we think that that is a sh.me ed: so would you ladies say after you brought this problem to the nation's consciousness, it's gone away for you, or they're still attacking you? you mentioned this movie. doesn't seem like it's gone away for you. >> it has not gone away. especially on facebook. todd: still? >> our followers -- yes. yes. we are still being censored. if you go on our page, people

post their complaints all day about how facebook is censoring us. they sent it to us. so yes, facebook is still clearly censoring conservative voices like ourselves. >> they even take away a lot of people's monetary, the way for them to make money on the platform. all of that is just gone. they now make you have to go through a particular process in order to be deemed able to advertise certain political posts on the page. once you go through that process they still say "no" to your ads that won't let you advertise. ed: we talk about censorship by the tech giants. then you look at another tentacle, if you will, of the nanny state. we've been talking this morning about a bill that's been proposed in california, a state, remember, with a lot of sanctuary cities, becoming a sanctuary state where they don't enforce guesstimation laws. but on the other hand there's a bill now to enforce the idea of your kids when they go to a restaurant they can't pick what they want to drink or you can't

pick what they want to drink. you can only get milk or one way or the other. what do you think about that? >> you know, i think that that is sad. a restaurant is supposed to serve and sell food, not tell parents what their kids should and shouldn't drink. and shame on these governmental officials. >> that's right. >> if you're upset about children gaining weight, go out to the food industry that has genetically modify our food, put stuff in our food to make our children gain weight. but telling a parent you can only drink milk or water, that makes someone go out and really get something to drink. >> and if you really feel that concerned about children drinking in california, what about the homeless children that living in tents on your street and don't have any running water to drink? >> that's right. rachel: very good point. we were talking about it earlier today. i was saying it's kind of interesting they had to ban sodas, they want to legalize weed as a parent i would rather have my kid drink soda than

smoke weed. anyway, thanks for joining us. you guys are always delightful and thanks for bringing attention to the censorship. you guys are always on the forefront of that and we appreciate you following up on it. >> thank you. >> thank you. rachel: bye, diamond. bye, silk. headlines. a violent robbery in broad daylight caught on camera. a man rushes a business owner trying to snatch her bag holdings $75,000. her husband help to fight the criminal off. a second car mowing the woman down, following her from a bank where she had taken cash for business reasons. not giving up the money. she's now recovering in the hospital. one of the suspects is behind bars, and the other remains at large. the criminals did not get the money. wow. the minnesota democrat party is standing by keith ellison despite allegations of domestic abuse. coming just days after the liberal congressman won the state's primary for attorney

cooperate with robert mueller's investigation. ed: it comes after the new york times reported that don mcgahn is cooperating extensively with the special counsel. rachel: garrett ten it is live in washington with what we know about their discussion. ed: good morning, garrett. reporter: despite that we've known that white house counsel has been cooperating with the mueller investigation and what's new here is suggestion that mcca hn confirmed details with president trump. a source confirms that he spoke to mueller at length on three occasions and the times reports citing unnamed current and former white house officials that in those meetings, mcgahn provided detailed accounts of president trump's actions and surrounding several key events investigators are looking into determine if the president on instructed justice including the firing of james comey and his push for attorney general jeff sessions to take control of the russia investigation. however in those discussions, the article states, "mr. mcgahn

cautioned to investigators that he never saw mr. trump go beyond his legal authority, though the limits of executive power are merky." now president trump has been slamming this report since it came out and this morning he continued that tweeting the fail ing new york times wrote a fake piece today implying that because white house counsel was giving hours of testimony to the special counsel, he must be a john dean type but i allowed him and all others to testify, i didn't have to. i had nothing to hide. now the president's legal team is also pointing out the white house chose not to exercise executive privilege or attorney/ client privilege and the president's former lead told fox news that don mcgahn was a very strong witness for the president. ed, rachel and todd? ed: thank you, garrett. it's fascinating because when this story first broke yesterday afternoon he broke that down well explaining what we know, what we don't know and when you read the actual story it says that don mcgahn in all of the

testimony to the special counsel and its investigators sanctuary saying he never saw the president operate outside the law it's a lot different than the headlines saying extensive cooperation this could be the end of the trump era as we know it, that's the tone of this story and the way it was sent around and tweeted out by many in the mainstream media. we've seen this so many times before i mentioned that to alan dershowitz last hour that when george papadopoulos so many months ago plead guilty to lying to the fbi you heard this breath less reporting, a reporter at abc saying this is a bombshell and cnn said this may prove collusion. it hasn't proven anything on friday george papadopoulos we learned is going to spend one to six months in jail and most importantly has nothing on the president. rachel: and the reporting also seemed to a lewd or imply that somehow don mcgahn, having this interview with the special counsel was turning on the president, don mcgahn is an amazing attorney, he works at the white house but he was a very early and loyal supporter

kind of a rock star within the administration so they're trying to play some psychological games and instead of really giving a headline which i think the headline is wow the president has nothing to hide. ed: and has been cooperating. rachel: he gave permission to his once counsel to give 30 hours of testimony. ed: and more than a million pages of documents this gets to what alan dershowitz has been saying on our air for a long time which is that you have to watch and make sure that prosecutors are not trying to get people to compose, as opposed to create a narrative, create a story and he was on last hour telling us that this investigation has just gone on and on and on. listen. >> the thing that's wrong with the special counsel is if you have a regular u.s. attorney investigating a case and nothing comes of it that's no big deal they go on to the next case but if a special counsel spends tens of millions of dollars hires an enormous number of staff members and comes up empty or with small

numbers of indictments against low hanging fruit, people who had very little or nothing to do with the subject of the investigation, well then he's a failure. ed: that gets right to some being rachel said to alan dershowitz last hour which is a special counsel trying to get the truth or a scalp? rachel: and right was the president naive thinking if i give don mcgahn permission to speak to the special counsel i'm going to have him be as transparent as he wants to be and this will wrap up and it hasn't. ed: alan dershowitz said last hour you're getting to a point where the report he's going to send the rod rosenstein of the justice department and congress in the american people you can't put that report out say 10 days before the mid-terms so if you don't put that report out as rudy guiliani the president's attorney says, by september 1 you're in a political window where you'll impact the mid-term s just as we saw james comey. rachel: but you're also under a lot of pressure if you've spent millions of dollars and interviewed all of these people and gotten the country in an uproar about possible collusion with russian. ed: you want to come up with

something. rachel: and alan dershowitz to his credit from the very beginning has been talking about the danger of a special counsel for that precise reason. todd: another issue a lot of you are talking about because a lot of you are on social media. an interesting admission from the ceo of twitter that sort of admits that we've got a little bit of a liberal bias, but, it doesn't fully go into explaining why conservative voices are often censored more so than liberal voices let's listen to what he has to say and we'll break it down. take a listen. >> are we doing something according to possible ideology or viewpoints and we are not, period. we do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint or ideology. we look at behavior. we need to constantly show that we are not adding our own bias which i fully admit is more left leaning. we need to removal bias from how we act and our policies and our

enforcement. todd: a couple pieces to break down there you have to give jack dorsey credit he admits the people working in san francisco have a tendency to be left lean ing but he said we do not actively follow political lean ings when we're censoring people, if you will, to use that word but he uses the word behavior and if your algorithm targets behavior based upon certain words that oh, by the way just happened to be conservative words, conservative buzzwords guess what you're censoring conservative speech. rachel: well two ladies who know a lot about censoring are diamond & silk they were one of the first to start calling out, they came on on our show in fact and said we've been censored we're being banned we're being shadow banned and people thought they were crazy or lying and here they are talking about it. >> this has been happening to conservative voices, anybody that supports our president that's patriotic and that loves

our country it has got to stop. stop the shadow banning and stop the censorship and remove the algorithm. and if you do not get it together you will be the tweet without the bird or the bird without the tweet. todd: that's a tweet so look it doesn't fit the liberal media narrative that maybe they've been censored, diamond & silk and others you don't hear that much about it. narratives in the media this is something we talk about all the time because it also deals with i.c.e. you've heard people on the left like cynthia nixon recently comparing i.c.e. for example, to a terror organization. rachel: right. ed: which seems ridiculous and that's why the president has been pushing back so there was an arrest by i.c.e. of an immigrant and basically, the initial report that we saw in the washington post said the following. i.c.e. arrested a man driving his pregnant wife to give birth. she drove herself to the hospital, and they were on their way to the hospital, to have a baby, when i.c.e. took him away.

news week, i.c.e. agents part of trump crackdown, detain husband driving pregnant wife to deliver baby. todd: they left out one other important piece of information. rachel: absolutely and by the way when you'll have a c-section it's not like she's in labor in the car and they pull her over. she has an appointment to get a c-section but they left something out importance. todd: the important thing, he was accused of murder. here is what we say, when he was on the national border patrol counsel president he says this is just a sign of the times. >> seems to be a lot of confusion with certain members of the media when it comes to legal immigration and illegal immigration, and the reality is none of us are against immigration. we're against illegal immigration. we have very very well-dedicated men and women that do the job. we're enforcing the laws that's what we do. we arrest criminals that try to bother our country and laugh at our laws.

ed: it's real easy to continue this narrative that i.c.e. is mean and nasty go after it. a guy just trying to take his pregnant wife to the hospital. great. but if you leave out he's been accused of murder which he denies, not just a little thing, murder, killing somebody in mexico, that's critical information that should be part of the story don't you think? rachel: absolutely and the media is constantly saying we're not fake news and pushing back on the president for calling them out on fake news and they leave out this very important thing and remember all of us agreed that we're going to prioritize tease violent criminals. homicide is what we have here this is definitely an illegal immigrant who should have been picked up. todd: it doesn't help with the distrust of media in america in 2018. rachel: we're going to turn to the headlines and we begin with a fox news alert. a community on the edge as a manhunt intensifies for two armed and dangerous killers terrorizing nashville.

take a look. >> two cold blooded killers who obviously have no respect whatsoever for human life. rachel: police are looking to see if the surveillanceses are connected to three deadly shootings. the gunman robbing them before killing them and a fourth person also mugged and shot and she's now paralyzed. nashville police are looking for this dark chevy sedan believed to be the getaway car and they are urging people not to walk alone. accused of planting a barrier is now charged with attempted murder. the 29 year old is acused of trying to kill police officers and others after striking several people before last weeks crash injuring three people the british citizen is expected to be in court tomorrow. the incident is being treated as an act of terrorism. and a federal judge is stopping a full daca restart backing off of his own ruling. the new order from judge john ba tes prevents any new

applications for the program but it allows those already on it to apply for renewal. bates acknowledged a legal mess over the obama-era program which provides protections to some immigrants. ed: a legal mess over an obama-era program, really? rachel: shocking. ed: interesting the trump adminitration meanwhile taking on a very serious issue the opioid crisis in america, calling for drugmakers to take some action. our next guest is a navy vet who knows the effects all too well of this crisis losing his younger brother to an overdose. we've seen these kinds of stories all too often across the country and he joins us next to react to the plan and tell us whether it might help. todd: epidemic not a strong enough word plus you've seen him perform marshall arts and catch a giant fish. no i'm not talking about ed henry. rachel: [laughter] todd: you might be surprised to see what he is doing now. he's "putting" on a show. >> ♪ i want to rock and roll,

all night, and party every day ♪ paying too much for insurance you don't even understand?

well, esurance makes it simple and affordable. in fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of $412. that's auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. paying too much for insurance that isn't the right fit? well, esurance makes finding the right coverage easy. in fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of $412. that's auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call.

rachel: the fight against opioid epidemic taking another step forward. the trump adminitration proposing u.s. drugmakers cut production quotas for the sixth most abused opioids all part of president trump's efforts to slash prescription pills by one- third within three years now our next guest knows the effects of this crisis all too well. he's seen what these drugs have done to his brothers in arms and he is a veteran and to his own younger brother corey who died of an overdose. high school teacher and navy veteran darryl st. george stephanopolos joining us right now and darryl thank you so much for being here i know this is a difficult topic. so first of all what do you think what the trump adminitration is proposing do you think this will help? >> yeah, so thank you for having me on, rachel and i do believe this is an important first step, we certainly need to have more accountability when it comes to the drug companies but

i think we also have to recognize that there are other pieces to this. i understand the president is talking about lawsuits. there are hundreds of lawsuits across the country that are going on right now, even the new york attorney general has just filed a suit against purdue pharma. i think something we should also look at is in 1980 there was a tax that congress passed on some of the oil companies and chemical companies to pay for some of the damage that was being done to the environment across the country as a result of their products. i think that because litigation can get complicated. if congress, and there is some show for bipartisan support for this, i've talked to some of our representatives like lee zeldin, democrat republican, there's bipartisan support for the idea of creating like a pay principle tax so these are some other things that i think in conjunction with the quotas that would be very helpful. rachel: okay, well tell me just a little bit about your brother

because this is something that has affected your whole family. it's not a legislative, it's personal. >> right and so for me i'm a reluctant activist, organizer, advocate on this issue and this was not something that was front and center for me but when i lost my brother as you said it became very personal, and i spent several years since his passing learning as much as i could about this epidemic and it's very very complicated. we see in 2017 the deaths the numbers are going up, it's ris ing so this is as serious as the president has said this is a national public health crisis and we have to recognize that. if the president is watching right now, i would ask that we end the drug war. we have to, this is not so much a criminal justice problem as it is public health. rachel: okay. >> people are sick and this ties into pain which i know is something you'd said you wanted to talk about too. rachel: yeah because i've had surgery before, i've had babies. i do feel like there is a bit of

a push on pain and i think maybe as a culture and i want to know what you think about this. do we need to change our relationship with pain? right now it's zero tolerance but life has pain. one of the slogans that i always appreciated in the marine corps was pain is weakness leaving the body. rachel: yeah. >> it makes you stronger and there's another slogan from the 12 steps programs which is pain is inevitable, suffering is optional and i think that as you're saying pain can serve as a teacher, it can make us stronger and make us better and right now i think in our culture the answer is don't feel anything here is a pill here is a pill. rachel: that's right well darryl you're bringing a lot of attention and also you're working with young people to bring attention and we'd like to bring you back to talk about that. >> i would love that. rachel: thank you and i'm sorry for your loss. >> thank you. rachel: former cia director john brennan may be outraged he lost his security clearance but the president isn't done yet. we break down who is next on the president's list with maria bartiromo, live, next. plus, milk or water?

rachel: so you're in california the legislators brought this to the assembly it's going to the desk of the governor here soon but do you get a sense that the parents in california want this or is this just the fringe left sort of sacramento thing or legislator thing? >> 100%, so i despise when the government gets involved in people's lives like this from the core of my being and every fiber of my being i hate it, so paraphrase samuel johnson a couple hundred years ago he said banning things like this, elites who want to ban things like this they are the last refuge, we live in a free country, i don't drink soda i have two kids i don't let them drink it. it's not good for you, but we live in a free country. your role is to persuade people not to drink soda if you don't think it's good for them and if they still want to drink three gallons a day then so be it, it's a free country and you can't force them and i hate the progressive mind set that says you should force people.

ed: mike rachel made a great point earlier about the idea that you've got california lawmakers saying we'll legalize pot and crackdown on coke, as in coca cola to be clear, but then on top of that i would add what about the fact that we've heard all about these sanctuary cities even an entire state of california where you won't enforce the immigration laws but now we'll tell kids you can't have pop. >> victor davis hanson calls this the bloomberg syndrome, when he was the mayor of new york city and he went on a big moral crusade against sugar and salt and soda and fatty drinks but in 2010 there was a big blizzard and he and the city were completely incompetent in cleaning and clearing the streets. people were stuck in their homes for days. rachel: right. >> so when you have local politicians who go on these big crusades like international issues like about israel and palestine or silly petty issues you can be 100% certain they're doing a terrible job at their actual job.

rachel: it's a lack of priorit ies. >> totally california is the poster child for this. rachel: and a slippery slope and california is pretty trendy to eliminate wheat from your diet. will they ban wheat, will they ban dairy? i'm from wisconsin we would not like that, so yeah i think we can see it going on and on. >> oh, it'll never end. i was on a couple weeks ago we talked about california banning straws and now there's a new thing about california wanting to ban balloons. it will never end guys like they will never be satisfied. progressives will never sit back and say we're good now this is good. never. they always keep going. todd: we're good. ed: birthday parties will never be the same. todd: mike slater, you were great. thank you very much sir. a piece of history may soon be up for grabs this is so cool right why the lincoln library could be forced to sell honest a be's iconic possessions. ed: actually annoying plus a new report out this morning, with the president against special counsel robert mueller and the

called to complain and apologize a big step forward from the day i announced the times has been fake news and with their disgusting new board member it will only get worse. rachel: wow. ed: a lot to impact there and greg jarret, taking them on because this screamer of a story yesterday from the new york times that the white house counsel is talking you see the book number one on the best seller list three weeks in a row rachel: congratulations. ed: the president had said in other tweets, i told don mcgahn the white house counsel to talk to robert mueller and if you read in the new york times story it says he testified that he never saw the president operate outside the line. >> you know the president is to be commended for telling mcgahn, go ahead, i have nothing to hide and here is the problem, however that's a good idea with a special counsel or prosecutor who could be trusted to be fair and objective and unbiased.

robert mueller has proven to be just the opposite. this is a guy who assembled a team of partisan and ignored his own three disqualifying conflict of interest and look what he did to michael flynn. flynn told the truth to the fbi and yesterday robert mueller turned around and charged flynn with lying, so even if mcgahn tells the truth and says the president didn't do anything wrong he didn't exceed his constitutional authority, that's mcgahn's confusion and i worry that robert mueller will twist the facts and con tort the law using mcgahn to reach the opposite conclusion. rachel: it's a good point. i see your book is number one on the new york times best seller there's clearly an appetite among a lot of people in the public to get to the bottom of this russian hoax. have you been just kind of shock ed by how disinterested and uncurious the mainstream media is? this kind of opened the playing field for you, i mean you've got

it all to yourself almost. >> i lay out the facts the law the evidence backed up by more than 700 footnotes and i expected the media to denounce me but i don't think that they can actually criticize the book on its merits so they are trying to ignore it because it doesn't fit their narrative. the media repeatedly has convicted donald trump in the court of public opinion without a cintilla of evidence they insinuate a crime by using a word which is calculation which is not even a crime except in anti-trust law. todd: one thing the media loves to do is create huge problems where there aren't any in their lynch pin for the entire mueller investigation seems to be george papadopoulos. here is what they had to say a little meltdown if you will about that guilty plea. >> guilty plea from a former trump campaign advisor named george papadopoulos, an even bigger bombshell. this time pointing directly to

the question of collusion. >> how is it not collusion when george papadopoulos was in contact with various people who are promising dirt on hillary clinton. >> information has the one keyword that should frighten everybody in the white house and that keyword is "guilty." todd: he's so scared about that word "guilty." the sentencing guidelines mandate that whatever george papadopoulos admitted to gives a whopping between 0 and six months in prison how important is george papadopoulos to this whole thing? ed: as you can see by those clip s the media was completely wrong and guys i suspect never have opened a law but you don't have to be a lawyer to understand the fundamentals of law. it's not conspiracy to defraud the government. it's not honest service, it's not a violation of campaign election act laws. it's none of those things and yet the media would lead their readers and viewers to conclude that the president is guilty of

all matter of criminal it when it fact he's not. george papadopoulos was never the trigger for the trump/russia investigation. the new york times -- ed: the new york times claimed that. >> the new york times was duped by fbi officials trying to cover up the real reason which is they used this fabricated phony dossier to launch the investigation and to wire tap the trump campaign and so the new york times is either stupid or -- rachel: a follow-up from that report every day it seems like they have another bombshell that means nothing and they keep thinking they are bringing it down it doesn't work. ed: this morning brennan was on meet the press breaking a few moments ago on a related topic of weaponizing intelligence and john brennan given your knowledge of the law as you apply it here, with the mueller investigation john brennan is claiming he may file legal action against the president of the united states to stop him from stripping his security

clearance and the others that might be stripped this week we keep hearing about was james comey or andrew mccabe or others do you think there could be legal action to say the president is sewing his reputation somehow and he doesn't have this authority or will this go nowhere? >> security clearance is not a right and therefore it's not a deprivation of right to revoke it. having said that anybody can file a lawsuit. the only legitimate grounds would be it's a deprivation of constitutional rights first amendment and so forth but nobody is impeding john brennan 's right to speak out. he just can't use classified information to do it. this is a guy whose a national security risk. it's proven he has leaked information before and he is disposed to use classified information in order to harm trump but in the process he jeopardizes national security. he should be nowhere near

classified information. todd: you know what i'd love if he sued for interference with business advantage because it would show the world the only reason any of these individuals are worried about security clearance is it allows them to make money in the private sector >> that's right the good old american dollar. rachel: it's great having you here on the couch congratulations on the book and thank you for the recording. ed: thank you, rachel. rachel: all right turning now to your headlines we begin with a fox news alert. three people shot during a back-to-school peace picnic at a playground in chicago. the violence erupting when a group of people showed up. >> everything was going well and at the ending of the event, a fight erupted and from that fight, shots were fired. rachel: in total at least 46 people were shot in chicago since friday night. one of those victims died. a daring rescue two police officers raced into a burning apartment building saving a woman's life.

rick: just drinks pretty much. a lot of us will wish we're in hawaii right now because we've got a lot of weather going on take a look at the map and show you what's going on. we've got big storms across the central part of the country and very heavy rain and severe weather moving across parts of the northeast yesterday. the southeast is hot, humid and you get pop-up thunderstorms. the front that moves across parts of the northeast we're still dealing with scattered showers throughout the day today tomorrow we clear out a lot but take a look at the line of storm s with very severe weather and flooding across western kansas now moving in just getting towards kansas city area , we've had incredible amounts of rain in the last week so flooding happens very quickly behind that storm, we're going to watch temperatures really drop and if your pick where you are and this is precip precipitation over the next six to seven days nothing across parts of the west where we need it and everybody else getting something into the way of rain. back to you inside. ed: we appreciate it, rick.

talking with christopher steele. they started talking the author of the dossier, and they started talking in january 2016. january of 16 the russia investigation launched july of 2015 and until march of 2017 and sally yates signed off on the first two fisa warrants. remember they used the dirty dossier to get the warrants to wire tap somebody from the trump campaign, carter page she signed off on the first two so i would be looking at her as well as bruce ohr as potential for los ing their security clearance next. i think depending on what bruce ohr says in a week and a half when he testifies, that's going to probably open up a can of worms for sally yates in my opinion. rachel: maria you've been following this story for a long time but you think maybe the public media isn't but maybe the public is finally starting to get these pieces and put them together. maria: i do rachel i think this story is finally resonating

people are understanding something is horribly wrong during the 2016 election that the left basically through away their ideals and their values and the things that we hold so dear in this country that is freedom and our democracy and because it was trump. oh, it's okay to wire wire tap an american citizen for no reason. it's trump. oh, it's okay to get a fisa warrant based ontoing unverified dossier. it's trump and i think people are finally recognizing that this was wrong, this was not about donald trump. this is about america and the rule of law. ed: and bruce ohr's wife worked at fusion gps which put the dossier together with christopher steele, so when you talk to rudy guiliani today on your program, i expect that will be something you'd cover. maria: and it's such an important point ed because the fact is that people did not understand bruce ohr and his wife were profiting from the dossier. she was getting paid by fusion gps, so they're actually making money on this dossier they are using to wire tap. ed: he had nothing to do with it

rachel: nellie is a russia expert. maria: so she was working on the actual dossier on all of this whole narrative that had anything to do with russia meddling. it looks to me like they inserted trump into the russia meddling. we know russia has been undermining the west for decades they figure oh, let's throw trump in there and they've been able to get that with the american people it's amazing so this morning we're talking so rudy guiliani, obviously the president's lawyer as well as we're talking to john ratcliffe, congressman ratcliffe will be leading the questions for the bruce ohr testimony in a week and a half. todd: excellent attorney. ed: top of the hour don't miss maria. maria: see you soon. rachel: coming up a little rain won't damper the beach on the plaza and we're making tropical drinks maria might stay for that ed: no she's got a show to do. >> ♪ wasted away again in margaritaville ♪

rachel: it may be raining here in new york city but we're hitting the beach right here on the plaza. todd: all morning we've had our own luau on the plaza thanks to the four seasons resort in hawaii and what's it without tropical drinks. ed: here to mix up some cocktail s craig joseph is the manager at the four seasons here in new york. >> hello, everyone good morning ed: what have you brought for us >> well it is my favorite part of the show, so today, we are going to start with what we call a new york defleur, it's a power female new york city drink. there you go it stands out it's beautiful and we've gone ahead and given it this beautiful glass. we have an orchid-embedded ice

ball in there so basically it's grey goose, lemon juice which we'll pour on top of the ice ball. ed: i think it's 5:00 somewhere. >> excellent. and just hang on just a second because that gets topped with some champaign. todd: just like rachel likes. ed: i feel like this bring was made for you. rachel: i know! todd: craig what else do you have? >> also we have something very tropically-inspired we have perfect for the pool and perfect for the city. it's beautiful as well, this is spiced rum which is house made and we also have some lemon juice in there and a little bit of egg white. don't be afraid of the egg white ed: why should we not be afraid of that? rick rick: every time i see that in a drink i'm like am i going
