all of america knows the doj continues to be influenced by politics. that's why they elected the outsider president. >> we've got to get to the bottom of the corruption, the conspiracy, the collusion, and the coverup that's going on in the justice department. the justice department confirms to judicial watch that no hearings were conducted regarding the fisa surveillance of carter page. it raises questions about we've got the initial corruption of the warrants themselves, but the courts we're relying on to provide oversight. the huge blow this last public event to remember john mccain before his sunday burial. >> the america of john mccain

is generous and welcoming welco. the trump administration plans to withhold more than 100,000 pages of brett kavanaugh's records. his confirmation hearings set to begin next week. in the end zone, touchdown! ♪ pete: the 6:00 a.m. dj playing a song i've never heard. ainsley: we're not jun young enough. pete: ed, you said the word, college football. wasn't is great just to listen to the ambient noise of football yesterday. >> and the grilling, which we're

going to do today. pete: i grilled yesterday. ainsley: what did you do? pete: some steaks. some great costco strikes. -- ce great steaks. ainsley: we're going to do that today on the show. pete: and the labor market is up. life is good. >> it's the last weekend of summer, as we mentioned. there's celebration and also remembrance this weekend. aretha franklin's fine l rail, we talked about that, and john mccain, a celebration of his life and legacy all weekend, remembering senator mccain, family, colleagues, even political opponents paying their final respects. >> it was a moving tribute. pete: garrett teny is live in washington, looking ahead to mccain's final fai phi farewell. >> reporter: he will be laid to rest at the u.s. naval academy.

this will be a private ceremony with family and friends and following the ceremony, mcscan n will be buried next to his best friend from the academy. on saturday, his casket left the u.s. capital for the national cacathedral. it stopped along the way at the vietnam veterans memorial where his life laid a wreath. at the memorial service, his daughter paid tribute to his life of service. >> you leav you sacrificed it, u honored it. >> reporter: while president trump did not attend the funeral, his predecessors did. along with meghan mccain, there were several remarks that many interpreted as subtle and not so settl subtle shots at the commander in chief. >> so much of our politics, public life, public discourse

can seem small and mean and petty. john called on us to be bigger than that. >> perhaps above all, john detested the abuse of power, could not abide bigots and swagger despots. >> the america of john mccain has no need to be made great again, because america was always great. >> reporter: yesterday evening, president trump tweeted about trade and the fbi and wrote in all caps, make america great again. this rivalry even in death continues. back to you. ainsley: it was an emotional funeral. you can understand how meg an had a lot of emotion, you felt like at points she was feeling angry and understandable, given some of the harsh words that were said about her father during the campaign. others tried to take shots as well. here's one from jeff flake, senator jeff flake, he tweeted

out decency wins and he took a picture of george bush and the obamas. pete: i don't mean to make light of it, but you take a photo with bill clinton and say decency wins, i'm just saying. all oyou look at it with sympaty when you watch it. at the same time, no one changes their political view based on i think speeches and eulogies. if you're shaped into saying how dare you support someone like donald trump or his views because john mccain was the standard bearer of goodness, john mccain was a good man who did a lot of great things for the country. we can also be in a different chapter, where different tools and different leaders can carry forward what america represents. i think that's the disdense that existed yesterday. >> it's curious, it seems odd that jeff flake feels like a funeral is a place for winners

and losers. that some how he believe these are the winners and there's a loser somewhere else. i'm struck by the idea that people like jeff flake, barack obama, want to tell thaws the funeral -- tell us that the funeral was all about uni at thiunity butthey didn't invite t trump and they didn't invite sarah palin i think it was the place to celebrate john mccain's awesome life and legacy. barack obama spent a lot of time in the eulogy talking about himself, talking about john and i both felt like america is the indispensable nation and john and i and what we think and thought. it's about the man who passed away. it's about his awesome life and legacy, not about yours. >> quick add, i admire his service to the country. i also admire his pro life record. i'm sure a lot of the elite that's were gleeful at some of the shots taken at president

trump don't want to remember that record of john mccain, which was incredible as well. >> he will be buried today at the naval academy, where he graduated from, so a wonderful and appropriate tribute for him today. >> while this was happening, you sent me an article, i think a lot of us -- you sent from your favorite newspaper, the new york times, talking about new revelations of how deep the connection was between russia and bruce ohr and some of the folks looking to the trump campaign the extent to which they were willing to talk some unsaunsavory russian character. >> there was one that allege he'edlyhas ties to russian orgad crime. we learned that the ties are a lot deeper, the times headline, agents tried to flip russian

oligarchs, the fallout spread to trump. it gets into the idea that bruce ohr and others, bruce ohr a narcotics official, we believe based on this new york times piece dating back to 2007, fast forward more than a decade later and he's trying to help flip this russian oligarch in order to get dirt on pau paul manaford ultimately donald trump. the new york times refers to him as putin oligarch. it's okay to hang out with putin's buddy to get dirt on president trump. when president trump wants to talk about syria, that's all out of bounds. >> it was interesting in the article, that this oligarch, he had a lot of incentive to cooperate and come up with a story. he wanted a visa to come to the

united states. he had business interest. he had bad business blood between him and manafort and yet he told the fbi, i think your theory about russian collusion is pre pro preposterous. >> i'm going to go with a fox news speculation alert. maybe it was bruce ohr who was flipped by the russians. just saying, total speculation, i have no evidence. the point is, he's done more to help the russians' influence on our democracy than -- >> there was a conflict of interest that wasn't disclosed. that's a real problem. overnight, alexandria ocasio-cortez -- >> the favorite socialist. >> she runs in new york for a congressional seat. she has taken this -- when last we left her, sh she was banninge

media from a townhall. she was saying the media couldn't cover her townhall. folks on the left were saying this was ridiculous. overnight she posted a video where she was trying to rally kids to go after president trump. >> the democratic nominee for congress out here, we're going to go to dc, we're going to be fighting trump. >> [ cheering and applause ] >> we're out here. we need your help. >> that's crazy, the kids get so excited about it. >> are you going to tell your parents to vote? >> yes. >> i actually love this video because there's so much about alexandria that is so revealing. she is such a novice. she really tells you the truth about socialism. parents, this is what socialists do for kids. they don't help kids, they organize kids. that indoctrinate kids. that's what she's doing.

that's what social justice warriors like her are best at. >> she's naive, she's talking to the kids, talk to your parents, tell them how much you hate trump. at one point in the video, i think someone said i heard he's going to deport neve everyone. >> these kids are so young. >> talk about division. >> you block out their faces for privacy reasons. she feels like she's going to organize them and recruit them. >> go to her twitter account if you want to see their faces. >> there are a lot of people like alexandria ocasio-cortez in the school system doing the same thing. we're going to turn now to headlines. >> additional headlines snches we're going to start with a fox news alert. authorities say a terrorist motive is behind the stabbing of two american tourists in amsterdam in a train station. officers shooting and injuring the suspect who they say showed

signs of extremeism. the 19-year-old man is from afghanistan and is he recovering. both unidentified americans are in the netherlands recovering from their injuries. president trump blasting our neighbors to the north. the u.s. and canada so far failing to come to terms on a new nafta deal. president trump tweeting we shouldn't have to buy our friends with bad trade deals and free military protection. the president has already agreed to a new trade agreement with mexico and it excludes canada entirely. the first saturday slate of college football is in the books. auburn tigers rallied late to beat the washington huskies, 2 21-16. pete: the fighting irish take down the michigan wolverines, 24-17. i watched the first three quarters of that game. penn state, i watched this as well, narrowly avoids a shocking upset to beat appalachian state,

45-38 in overtime. penn state was behind, and they brought it to overtime and won it in overtime. appalachian state didn't think they could win it. >> this is why i let him read the sports. pete: i love that. i love that. moving on, a teen rescued from that muslim extremeist compound in new mexico opening up about the horrors inside. what he just revealed to the fbi, next. >> the original judge didn't think there was trouble there, we'll see. the media says the booming trump economy won't last. >> he thinks there's 4% sustainability. i think that's unlikely. pete: our next guest disagrees. he has the numbers to prove it.

the president and larry kudlow said this is not a one-time thing, this is here to say. is it. >> these numbers bounce around a lot. this is the president being incredibly confident. >> the question is sustainability. he thinks there's 4% sustainability. i think that's unlikely. >> it's a good number but also recognize that one quarter does not make a trend. pete: those are doubts from so-called experts and the media that president trump's economy cannot keep on booming. >> our next guest disagrees. he's here with his prediction, pea morrisy. welcome. >> good morning. >> good morning. so the president says we're winning and he thinks this boom can keep going. media says no. why do you say he's right? >> let's look at the numbers. since he's become president the

economy has expanded about 2.8% per year. during the obama years it was less than 2%. he's doing almost 50% better. there's lots of excess capacity out there. there are a lot of people under-employed. if we get the right trade policies, so we bring back good paying jobs and shift people out of starbucks and into factories and jobs like that, we can win. in addition, he's putting in place a lot of training programs. p i think those those have great potential. >> if you look backwards, the predictions were -- i believe we have a full screen for this -- we wouldn't grow anymore than 1.5 or 1.7%, the federal reserve in san francisco predicted that. here we are in quarterly over 4, annually maybe over 3. what are the ingredients that led from a new normal of less than 2% to something where it's booming? >> tax cuts, deregulation, workforce training, and these trade agreements that we're negotiating. look at the canada situation.

the canadians want free trade where they send us what they've got and that's oil. but they won't take our dairy products. that's absurd. it's not just cows. dairy has a lot of processing. there's a lot of potential for employment growth, even in factories with dairy. that's an example. the canadians have been spoiled by uncle piggy bank. guess what? the apiecement is over. i was so amused yesterday, so amused. the clinton, bush, obama establishment was defeated because they let americans down. for two decades we grew at less than 2%. people couldn't find decent jobs. they went to school and got indoctrinated instead of educated. they stood on top of john mccain's coffin and criticized donald trump for their own failures many that's why he's there. >> it is very interesting and they said that all those jobs were never coming back, the ones that you're talking about. and i'll tell you what, in my

district a lot of people, a lot of employers are begging for workers. in fact, they're willing to train them if you're willing to pass -- if you can pass the drug test, you don't even need to have the training, they'll pay for it. >> absolutely. businesses are now lowering their experience requirements and training people. and the labor department under ivanka trump's leadership -- she's been very instrumental in this -- is assembling apprenticeship programs across a broad range of industries. college graduates who got nothing studying women's studies, international affairs and i hate american-ism, can go back to school in a job where they get $15 an hour. the university of maryland doesn't have that. basically, they can get $15 an hour which is better than what they're earning at starbucks pouring coffee and serving it to liberals and in the process come out the other end after two years and get $60,000 a year. i think that's pretty good

economics, don't you. >> absolutely. paul krugman predicted -- the savant of the establishment -- that the economy would tank. how sustainable is this boom? >> for one thing you know you shouldn't believe paul krugman and most economists. if you put them in a room and if you asked them an on musely -- anonymously how they vote, they would all be liberal democrats. we have people with decent educations, general educations but not specific skills who can be retrained and moved into higher productivity jobs. the key is, you've got to make it attractive to invest in the united states and that means getting rid of not regulation that protects people, but regulation that just creates paperwork and that's what we're doing by getting decent trade agreements so we can export what we do well in addition to buying from the world what they have to offer and expanding these

training programs so people can get it done. >> we've got to leave it right there. thank you for your energy and expertise this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you. more "fox & friends" on the otherch side. stay with us. buffalo style chicken in a pouch-- bold choice, charlie! just tear, eat... mmmmm. and go! try all of my chicken creations! chicken! you always get the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed? let's say it in a really low voice. carl? lowest price, guaranteed. just stick with badda book. badda boom. book now at choicehotels.com

18-year-old in overnight, accusing him of breaking into the 11-year-old girl's bedroom at her family's apartment. surveillance video was used to track him down. it's one of the media's favorite catch phrases on the president ever since he was elected. >> i think at this point the walls are spinning. >> the legal walls are closing in on donald trump. >> it appears like we are finally at a p tipping point. the walls are closing in on president trump. >> the walls meanwhile are closing in on the president of the united states. >> the wall's closing in on president donald trump. >> so are the walls really closing in or is the media just wishing it so? here to debate, rochell richie and kimberly klasic. good morning both of you. >> rochell, it seems like a lot of your friends at msnbc and elsewhere are hoping and praying the walls will close in. >> i have to add to this, the walls are closing in on

president trump. we're seeing it every day. when our founding fathers wrote the constitution, they didn't say freedom of speech only counts when you like what -- when they like what you have to say. this president has consistently assassinated the credibility of media outlets and journalists any chance he gets, whether calling them the enemy of the people or using the played out insult of fake news. right now it seems like the only thing that is unbelievable and lacking integrity is the president. >> we'll get to his attacks on the media in the second part of the segment. let's stick on this part, kimberly. row shellrochell, she is very nt she immediately jumps in and she's hoping and praying it, she says the walls are closing in on the president. >> when pundits talk about the demise of the president, they're actually wishing for th the deme of. things. they're wishing for the demise

of growing wages, wishing for the demise of the lowest unemployment rate for black americans. there is a high school student that explains this to grown adults every day on twitter. it's not rocket science. the left has been throwing things at president trum since - things at president trump since the night he was elected. >> rochell, you were saying how the president attacks the media for no reason. let's get specific and not general. he was going after the media in the last few days, particularly cnn over a specific story where they said the walls are closing in when they said michael cohen was going to flip and he was going to say president trump knew about the meeting. why can't you say the president's actually right, that story was wrong? >> because the story was not wrong. the only reason that lanny davis is recanting the story is because he's been exposed as a

snitch. that's the only reason he's coming out and saying anything. >> maybe the story isn't true. >> the story is true. 91% of the media coverage, granted, is considered negative of donald trump. frankly, it's not negative. it's warranted. when the president is paying off extra marital affairs, when he's have a pr bromance with putin. when he's playing see-saw. >> this is a story that's not true. >> when he plays see-saw with the american flag on top of the white house because he can't put aside petty feelings to honor a war hero and beloved senator, it's warranted. >> kimberly, i'll give you the last word. >> that story is untrue. president obama promised hope and change. president trump is doing something about immigration, he's doing something with foreign leaders, he's doing a lot of things that's bringing hope. president trump is also the opposite of president obama which is change. so maybe the left should understand what they wish for, they might just get. president obama delivered. president trump is hope and

change. congratulations. >> kimberly, rochell, rochell we're going to have to have another cup of coffee in the green room. thanks for coming in. the trump administration took another move to put america first, cutting aid to a country that harbors terrorists. one democratic congressman may be out of office but his problems are not done yet. he's got $12,000 legacy to deal with, next. and where's the beef? americans are cashing in on the booming economy that you just heard about and they're getting ready to grill this labor day weekend. pete's back. we're going to grill some steaks with pete, coming up. more and more people are finding themselves in a chevy for the first time. ♪ you can too during the chevy labor day sales event. now through september 10th, use labor day cash and trade up to this silverado to get a total value of $11,000 when you

we talked about this quite a bit. for folks that voted for president trump and believe america's interests should be put first and we have a lot of long-time allies that aren't quite alleys, the news broke yesterday that the trump administration is seeking to take back $300 million of aid that was going to pakistan, suspending it, hoping congress will make it a full-time deal. this comes in addition to $500 million they have already taken away. >> let's not give that money to pakistan. it's got real problems with terror and not tracking down on it. here's what's important, i think, is that you saw these former presidents yesterday from clinton to bush to obama who all talked a good game on this, on getting tough with pakistan. when it came down to brass tracks, they said we have to give the hard earned taxpayer money of our viewers back to pakistan and oh, by the way back to the palestinian authority. because that aid has been pulled

back by president trump as well. president after president, democrat and republican said we're going to get tough with the pakistanis and the harboring of terrorists and in the end they write the checks. >> people say that trump doesn't have a political philosophy. if you look at the tweet that he gave yesterday about canada, he said we don't have to buy our friends and i think that applies to this as well. he's saying you know what, we're going to help you if you do what you said you were going to do and he is the defender of the taxpayers' money. >> and canada is ripping us off on dairy, are they really a friend? >> you want us to buy from you and you want your markets do be closed to us. that doesn't make sense. that's not how friends treat each other. >> you said the operative phrase, if you do what you said you're going to do. after 9/11, president bush said you're either with us or against

us. tons of those harbored in pakistan, a decade and a half later, they're not doing what they said they were going to do, so why are we funding them. >> he's a man of action. he does what he says. >> whatever happened before doesn't mean it's right now, sorry, no more money for you. >> i like - we're two days away from the start of the confirmation hearing for supreme court pick brett kavanaugh. pastor robert jeffers says this nomination is critical to a key part of president trump's base,y va,coming up next. we have deals for you on refrigerators and more. we'll tell you about which deals are for real. it's time for the 'biggest sale of the year' on the new sleep number 360 smart bed. it senses your movement and automatically adjusts

kavanaugh begin this week. >> our next guest say this is key to a part of president trump's base, evangelicals. here today is the author of choosing the extraordinary life, welcom-- welcome, pastor. >> thank you. >> we know evangelicals were critical in the 2016 election. one of the main reasons they went to the polls for president trump was supreme court justices. will they be as motivated in the midterms because of kavanaugh and potentially more justices, at least maybe one more after kavanaugh? >> absolutely. i think they will be more motivated in the 2018 midterms to continue to support this president. and look, rachel, you're right. exit polls from 2016 show that the primary reason evangelicals voted for president trump by the widest margin of any candidate in history is because of his

commitment to a conservative judiciary. he's fulfilling that promise beyond anyone's wildest imaginations. look, this is why the courts are so important to evangelical christians. all of the recent assaults against the issues we believe in dearly, like the right to life and the right to religious liberties, these attacks haven't come from the executive or legislative branches, they've come from the judicial branch. activist judges have been involved in the campaign to create imaginary rights for some americans at the expense of real rights of other americans. for example, removing prayer and bible reading from the schools in 1962 and '63, that was based on an imaginary right that people ought to be free from offense from religious expression. there's no right in the constitution for that. but there is a very real right for the freedom of religious expression and that's why people are excited about judge kavanaugh.

he is a judge who will interpret the law by what the constitution actually says instead of by what liberals wis wish it said. >> he's meeting with senators, some of which are weary about his nomination, moderate republicans, they're asking about roe v wade, he's talking about it being settled law, any issues on those or others? >> none whatsoever. you bring up another good issue, roe v wade. that's another example of what i was talking about. search the constitution. there is no right to an ai aborn in the 14th amendment or any other amendment. there is a right to life. i was at the white house monday, had the opportunity to talk to the president and vice president and other administration officials, and without quoting anyone directly, i can tell you the white house is encouraged by the prospects for judge kavanaugh's confirmation. >> you mentioned you were at the white house. at that meeting i there were otr

evangelical leaders there. what leaked from that is a tape suggesting that the president said if democrats take back the house there's going to be violence in the streets. i know you believe that's not exactly how it came out. can you quickly explain what really happened at that meeting? >> yes, what exactly happened was the president was emphasizing the fact that if the democrats take control of the congress, they're going to undo dramatically and quickly all the progress that this great president has made. that's why we've got to turn out in 2018. >> pastor jeffers, we appreciate it. meanwhile, president doubling down on his trade threats with scan da. canada. the new warnings for justin trudeau and congress, that's coming up. are you looking for labor day shopping deals, how about 75% off patio furniture. we've got holiday bargains for you coming up next.

rick, sweating, working so hard. ♪ hi there. this is a commercial about insurance. now i know you're thinking, "i don't want to hear about insurance." cause let's be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right? which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i'm highly likable. i like dennis quaid. awww. and they want me to let you know that, cue overdramatic music, they're on a mission to make insurance painless. excuse me, you dropped this. they know it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting, dennis quaid. that's why they're making it simple, man in cafe. and they know it's expensive. yeah. so they're making it affordable. thank you. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. now, you might not believe any of this since this is a television commercial, but that's why they're being so transparent. anyways. this is the end of the commercial where i walk off into a very dramatic sunset to reveal the new esurance tagline

references over the course of the funeral which i think rubbed a lot of people unfortunately the wrong way. let's remember senator mccain but no need to swipe at the current commander in chief who is a different guy with a different take in a different era at an age where the left today is different than the left john mccain was in. >> jeff flake could have tweeted a lot of things about the funeral, positive about john mccain. but he tweets this, positive about sens decency, decency win. a contrast he's trying to make between the former presidents and the current president. what struck me about that is how are they winners and losers at a funeral. >> this idea of taking pot shots and settling political scores at a funeral is not very nice. in the case of megan mccain, she's a grieving daughter. i cut her a lot of slack. i know her personally. i know that the words said by

the president during the campaign were very hurtful. i think she gets to do what she wants to do on that funeral. i think some of the other shots that were made by flake, by president obama, not appropriate. by the way, i think it's fair to also mention the family asked the president if they could use air force two to fly the body of the late senator mccain and of course the president agreed to that and so he did do that. but i agree with what you say. he was asked not to attend and so maybe some of those politicians should have not brought him into it then. >> i love the irony of sense nor flake tweeting a photo of bill clinton with the word decency on it. there's a little bit of irony there. >> what do you thinker, friendsatfoxnoise.com. it will be a solemn ceremony today. the president is still in the political mode himself. he's been tweeting, talking about canada and the nafta deal, saying he doesn't care if

they're in the deal or not, if they don't step up and act fairly toward american farmers, particularly the dairy farmers, he's saying leave them out of the deal. he tweeted out, we shouldn't have to buy our friends with bad trade deals and free military protection. >> absolutely. there's an adds decision -- additional tweet, that said there's no political necessity to keep ca canada in the nafta deal. if we don't make a fair deal after decades of abuse, canada will be out. i could terminate nafta entirely and we'll be better off. there's been a lot of taking advantage of america. if we are biggest, the strong evidence and freest, others should be drawn to us. the legacy of bad deals shouldn't continue on. >> a lot of people make a mistake of getting caught in the push and pull with canada and what's going on in the last 10 minutes, the last few hours. take a step back and think about

the last few weeks, the last few months. how many people around the world said this president is out of control, these tariffs mean nothing, it's just going to destroy our economy and other economies. and guess what's happened? canada is at the table, very nervous that we may pull out and leave them on the sidelines. mexico which we were told they would never deal with this president, they actually negotiated the mexico part of nafta and it's pretty favorable to the united states. some of this is working. we have a lot of work to do with china. all of those who said this is blowing up our economy, we'll never get a new nafta, never, never, never. we are this close. >> president obama also said when he was campaigning that he was going to renegotiate nafta. he conceded the deal wasn't always good for our workers. president trump is out there, fighting for it. if you look at canada and president trudeau and president trump, they had a very sort of

shared idealogical agenda. that often took precedence to the american worker, to the american farmer. i think what president trump is doing, he's putting workers and the farmers first and i think americans like it. >> i think he's done a good job educating americans on the importance offed trade, the devastating impacts of trade, how you can actually rip up or renegotiates a deal that's bad for us on better terms. globalization is going to happen, it's inevitable, the jobs are gone, they're gone forever and he's like maybe not. >> he's using the threat of tariffs to get radical free trade, freer trade. >> china is still the biggy. that'--that's the stare-down. he understands china has been using us, they've been stealing from us, they're the key to north korea. a lot of this has to do with

them. >> this is why we elected a businessman to do this. >> when china sees the president not giving in to canada and mexico, they realize maybe he's going to stay in the fight with china, that he's not going to give in. if he caved to canada or mexico, that would have sent a signal to china. >> he's a tough negotiator, it's the art of the deal. now we're going to turn to the art of the headline. we start with a fox news alert, authorities say a terrorist motive is behind the stabbing of two american tourists in an amsterdam train station. officers shooting the suspect who they say showed signs of extremeism. the 19-year-old is from afghanistan but lives in germany. both unidentified americans are in the netherlands recovering from their injuries. president trump signaling he may take another look at scrapping pay raises for federal workers. the president retweeting this message by a gop candidate,

it's part of our commitment to being america's best first job. the president of the united states says about undocumented immigrants, these aren't people, these are animals. you have to wonder, does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person? >> that was nancy pelosi, defending ms-13 time and time again. but now more than 20 members were just arrested in her home state of california after terrorizing a town for might. >> overnight, a suspected member of ms-13 was arrested in new york after police say he climbed into an 11-year-old girl's bedroom and sexually assaulted

her. so how long will nancy pelosi and other democrats defend these savage gang members? >> here to weigh in, director of policy studies, jessica vaughn. thanks for being here this morning. two different views of the world, the president, his administration is going after ms-13, calling them animals for the savage things they do. nancy pelosi defending them. why is that her reflex? >> well, her reflex is to oppose the trump administration and any policies that interfere with unfettered immigration to the united states. these gangs like ms-13 are not defenseable. they are savages and they are animals. these cases are an illustration of how big a problem ms-13 has become, specifically because of lack of border security and lenient immigration policies and amnesty programs like daca that

have enabled them to boost their ranks here, to grow and become more and more violent and cause mayhem in communities around the country, not just urban areas, but this is -- this case in california was a town of about 11,000 people, a farming community, that had two chapters of ms-13 that were offshoots of the gang in los angeles. the policies that nancy pelosi supports like sanctuary policies and open immigration have all made it possible for ms-13 to become more established here and they've become more violent and the groups of people that are hurt the most by ms-13 are immigrants who live in the communities with these savages who are protected. >> it's such a great point. nancy pelosi, very wealthy, lives probably in a gated community with lots of security. one of the most interviews i ever did was a mother whose daughter was killed with a machete on her way home from

school here in new jersey. what do you say to nancy pelosi as she opposes the policies that are going after these gang members in the face of these kinds of really truly horrific crimes? >> look, opposing immigration enforcement that roots out ms-13 and removes them from our country is like cutting off your nose to spite your face and it's harming everyone in the united states including immigrants and the other hypocrite involved here is attorney general of california, who is mr. sanctuary, who pushed all these sanctuary policies and tried to obstruct i.c.e. from doing the good work in california, including pulling california out of gang information sharing that occurs between law enforcement agencies and the federal government. these are the absurd lengths they will go to, just to make a statement about immigration. >> i just don't understand why they're mutually exclusive.

why can't you be pro more immigration or undocumented or however you want to say it and anti-ms-13, they go so far to prove a point that doesn't need to be proven. jessica, thank you for your time. >> thank you, jessica. did you hate getting up early for school? i know i did. one state wants to make it a law to let students sleep in. i actually think this is a good idea? >> really? >> yeah, i do. >> when those students graduate college they'll need to find a job. thankfully, the market is better than ever. our next guest has three words, three of them, of advice for young americans this labor day weekend. we're not going to let him use two or four, only three words of advice. ♪ from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist. you can barely feel.

school, hoping that things would turn around. this turnaround president has done just that, like him or not, the guy corrected and fixed our great american economy. >> here are some of the statistics that are part of the recovery, the economy grew at 4.2% in the second quarter, unemployment fell below 4% to 3.9% in july. consumer confidence rose to the highest level in 18 years. weekly pay for low income workers rose last quarter, gdp for the year could be headed to 3%. if you're a young person in this economy, what's your recommendation to them to take advantage of this? >> there are three words, you talked about them earlier. one of them is we have to teach young people how to commit and the gig economy is something a lot of folks are talking about. take this job, take that, maybe hit uber for a little while, then take a trip to hawaii and surf. if you commit early and dig in deep, you'll be different than everyone else. that's something that people

aren't teaching young people. commitment matters. if we were to speed date for a while it would seem intriguing. after a while we would get bored. we only learn about love by committing to one person. we only learn about work by committing to one job. >> i think that message is so powerful. you say commit but you also say care and compete. >> that's right. caring is really important. i come across -- >> this is a basic thought, right? >> it's a crazy thought. there's a lady, dr. pamela newton, she built a remarkable insurance enterprise. she has a book called "dare to care." everywhere you look in this organization, people care about not just their customer, they care about each other and most importantly they care about the relationships they're forging. you won't hear that much in most college classes aboutly. captai. , that capitalism is about

caring. the only way to bring customers in voluntarily is to care about them and deliver results. on the competition front, competition is crucial. we have to learn how to teach kids to compete not against each other, not against fellow employees, but against your arch enemy. it's like football. i think it's why people like to hire people from sports. you don't compete against your fellow teammates. you want to beat the other guy. >> lee, some great messages. >> great, great messages. thank you very much. the press has had the same warning for the president for months. >> the walls are moving in. >> the walls are closing in. >> the legal walls are closing in. >> the wall's closing in on president donald trump. >> is it time for them to end this wishful thinking? chris starwall weighs in next. plus, every dog has its day. this one has been waiting for

nearly a year. the adorable reunion, you can hear it, now going viral. that's coming up. >> i know. i h know. hi there. this is a commercial about insurance. now i know you're thinking, "i don't want to hear about insurance." cause let's be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right? which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i'm highly likable. i like dennis quaid. awww. and they want me to let you know that, cue overdramatic music,

they're on a mission to make insurance painless. excuse me, you dropped this. they know it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting, dennis quaid. that's why they're making it simple, man in cafe. and they know it's expensive. yeah. so they're making it affordable. thank you. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. now, you might not believe any of this since this is a television commercial, but that's why they're being so transparent. anyways. this is the end of the commercial where i walk off into a very dramatic sunset to reveal the new esurance tagline so that you'll remember it. esurance. it's surprisingly painless.

the walls are closing in. >> i think at this point the walls are spinning. >> the legal walls are closing in on donald trump. >> it feels like we are finally at a tipping point. the walls are closing in on president trump. >> the walls meanwhile are closing in on the president of the united states.

>> the wall's closing in on president donald trump. >> they're closing in, they're spinning too. >> we could have gone on for an hour or two with that kind of montage. we kept it short for you. we're going to bring in chris starwall. they're not just closing in, chris, they're spinning. i don't know how many walls are left i don't know how much space he has left. how far and how long can you go with that fair fief until they n out of runway. >> i won't speak harshly for everybody who has written for news who has used the same metaphor. writing is hard. days are hard. and once you get a trope out there like that people will use it and use it and use it, whether or not it has any relation to reality or whether it's creative or interesting. >> your suit is creative and interesting, i will say. beyond the trope, the idea that

is they runway on the narrative, does it stop at bob mueller? where does it end? >> look, all of this hedge hingn what we find out from the mueller report. there's been tons of speculation that's taken place among democrats and republicans. , a lot of conjecture. we're waiting to find out what's in the mueller report. we're waiting for the president to do this interview, mueller to finish his report and we can get on with this and have a substantive discussion beyond sky writing about what we think might be in there. >> this montage shows how much the mediation not just angry at trump, they're angry at trump voters. take a look at this. we're going to come out on the other side. >> last week was a tidal wave of bad news for this presidency and this president and his approval rating stayed the same. i wonder, if that's not going to move the needle, will the john

mccain thing move the needle. >> while we can find the president's lawlessness or behavior morally unacceptable a lot of people vote pretty selfishly and say what's going to give me more money in my pockets. >> or what's going to make abortion illegal or what's going to make sure my second amendment rights stay the same. that adds up to enough people that the president has something akin to 40% of the le electoratn poll. >> they seem to be confused and upset that americans in the middle of the country have different priorities than they do in the media and they seem to be upset that they don't seem to be buying this russia hoax and all the stormy daniels and everything they're throwing at them. >> well, the part of this that i find the most amusing is that they don't understand how polling works and they don't understand what polls do. the president in the past has been mocked for not understanding polls or this

about polls. this is a great example of how these are reporters or these are journalists who don't know how polls work. we know exactly what's going on in the news every day. it's our job. we watch slavishly. we watch relentlessly, what's going on, this, that, the latest developments. we're reading twitter, we're doing all that. guess what? for the voters who get to decide, for the 25% or 30% of voters who are swing voters, they don't follow it to that degree. i don't blame them. most of the discussion is stupid and pointless. so they exclude themselves from the discussion and make their minds up later. the idea that a poll taken two or three days after news has broken should show a dramatic shift in one direction or the other is just foolish. >> finally, chris, the democratic establishment took a hit this week in florida as you know, andrew gillam comes out of knonowhere, defeats the establishmenestablishment candi.

all of a sudden he's the socialist next great hope. you've got ocasio-cortez tweeting him welcome to the club. you've got bernie sanders behind him. you've got tom stiro, the whole band is getting together. then they find out, chris, his office of the mayor of tallahassee is under fbial fbi investigation. what's going on here? >> i have a feeling ron de santis will have a whole new respect for the fbi these days. i think his heart will open to the federal bureau of investigation. >> let's let them do their investigation. >> let the process work. i would just say this is what happens when you have -- when you're looking for the next big thing. sometimes you're going to find the next big thing. sometimes you will find candidates who are great fits and full of energy and all of that stuff you will find as democrats did in barack obama somebody who can do it all, right, shoot the moon.

what you will also find sometimes is you will get a ocasio-cortez, you will get a gillam. he has unconventional views but he's a conventional kind of big city or city politician, the sort of ward healing boss politics kind of stuff, are the accusations against him. that's not a new idea, certainly in florida politics. you have to feel bad for a certain degree for florida democrats who in what was supposed to be an exciting race, gwen graham obviously looks like she would have been a with better choice for them, they passed her over for the next big thing. >> we're going to ask you to do what you shouldn't do, finger on the pulse, midterm elections, status of the house, what do you see 60 days out? >> the forecast will go in a range where the republicans hold on by about 10 seats to the democrats having about a 30 seat

majority. all of those things are within play and that's why people should stay here and watch fox news constantly between now and then so they can know what's going to happen. >> and read your half time report which i do every day. >> every day. >> good advice. >> thanks for joining us. we're going to turn now tour headlines. we now know what could be behind the bizarre attack on more than three dozen u.s. diplomats in cuba. the u.s. time reports microwave weapons are the prime suspects between the loss of hearing and other illnesses baiting back to 2016 at the havana embassy. the state department has not confirmed the source of the attacks. cuba denies any involvement. students in california may be able to sleep in, even on school days. this after lawmakers vote to block middle and high schoolers from starting before 8:30 a.m. right now, nearly 80% of those schools begin earlier than 8:30. i'm actually very much in favor

of this. governor jerry brown signed the bill and schools have three years to make the changes to their schedules. and you might want to grab some tissues for this heart-warming reunion. take a look. >> oh, goodness. oh, my goodness. oh, my goodness. oh, my goodness. i know. i know. >> i absolutely love this. a dog over-filled with joy as its owner nancy returns home to texas after deployment. she served about a year in afghanistan with the navy. and those are your headlines. >> that is simply awesome. >> i love the sounds, the giggles. >> rick, he gets about that excited every sunday morning when he comes to work. >> my dogs get that excited when i go home. there's nothing better than that. it's the only thing twitter is good for. >> what about cats? >> dogs, wild animals, i refer those. >> i'm with you on that.

>> let's talk about the weather out here. beautiful start across much of the northeast, another nice day today. the heat returns, it's going to feel like july again for much of the coming week. we have the tropics heating up as well and big rain going in towards parts of the plains. you see the moisture across parts of florida, across the central gulf, take a look at this. big storms again from parts of wisconsin through iowa, up towards minnesota and over the next few days we're going to see another 6 inches in some spots and we have already some really significant flooding going on unfortunately, another round of really wet conditions this week. here's the forecast radar of what the southeast is going to look like. you see houston through coastal louisiana, big storms today. watch this circulation moving across the bahamas, thoughts tht parts of florida. we will watch for tropical development this week as it moves across the central and northern gulf, maybe turning into something tropical. more moisture heading in towards louisiana and texas by the middle part of the week.

that will cause more flooding as well. all right, guys, back to you. >> thanks, rick. well, we are just two days away from the confirmation hearing for supreme court pick brett kavanaugh. some democrats already claiming there is a nasty coverup. but we've gottens of thousands -- got 13* tens of thousands f reasons why they are wrong. a new survey says most americans are in favor of legalizing marijuana. do they really understand the consequences in we've got a reality check coming up. ♪ [ coughs ] ♪ ♪ [ screams ] ♪ [ laughs ] ♪ whoa, whoa, whoa. your one item would be the name your price tool? it helps people save on car insurance. why wouldn't it save me? why? what would you bring? a boat.

supreme court nominations, it has all the making of a, yes, coverup. >> unprecedented terrible use of the word massacre. >> it actually is. by the way, he has 300 public opinions, probably the best way to figure out who the man is, that is out there for the public to see. does anybody really believe that if he got those 100,000 documents that he would suddenly change his mind on brett kavanaugh. >> there are documents that he and other democrats still want from brett kavanaugh's time in the george w. bush white house. they are fighting for that. i'll get to that, it's about executive power. what they're leaving out is what already has been turned over. brett kavanaugh has turned over 440,500 documents. the previous record holder, president trump's previous nominee, neil gorsuch, 182,000 documents. then you can see democratic nominees, kagen, 173,000, sonya

societsotomayor only gave up 6,. some of them, maybe there was less of a paper trail, doesn't mean they were hiding everything. they're trying to make this a quote, unquote coverup. brett kavanaugh has turned over more documents than any supreme court nominee in his. >> i the american bar association has come out and said this guy is imminently qualified. they found nothing to come at him with. they think, if they vote four him, you'll see a trickle of democrats voting for it. >> it seems so futile. i don't understand the point of it. i think part of it is a way to just tick off the president. he has a right to nominate. >> the question on executive power, democrats believe in the documents from the bush administration they would show that kavanaugh is so pro executive power that if there's a fight over a subpoena from bob

mueller, that goes all the way to supreme court, he would likely rule in president trump's favor. a fair question to raise? do it at the hearings. we'll have a week of hearings, bring that up and you've got hundreds of thousands of documents already turned over. >> not that difficult. so stay tuned for what i believe will be a predictable outcome. he's going to be a supreme court nominee. the social froist from the x trying to rally support from an unlikely group of americans. >> i'm the democratic nominee for congress out here so i'm going to go to d.c., we're going to be fighting trump. >> yeah! >> we're going to be fighting trump. mike huckabee here to react to her child's play you might call it, at the top of the hour. plus, a new survey says most americans are in favor of legalizing marijuana. do they really understand the consequences? dr. nicole sapphire is here, she has a reality check. that's next. this is not a bed.

the acceptance for using marijuana seems to be growing all around the country. states are taking actions that are mainstreaming the drug for regular raisregular raise nail . -- recreational use. in california, they're inching closer to allowing home deliveries of the drug. in new jersey, a college is about to offer a course on medical marijuana and cannabis law. the question we're asking is are we normalizing the drug too? here to weigh in, dr. nicole sapphire. we have a map showing all the states that are moving forward on legalization.

what's your big picture on what we know about whether it's harmful or not. >> there's been a big push for legalization of marijuana. under the obama administration they put the cart before the horse. washington, colorado started legalizing marijuana. we weren't able to do the research on it. it wasn't until the last few months in office that obama started loosening up some of those restrictions when it came to this. we're trying to play catchup now. we do know there are loosely associated negative effects with smoking marijuana, anxiety, depression, psychoses, cardiovascular disease. it impairs brain function and development and it's associated with lower i.q.s. >> what do you say to the companies that are putting this and actually selling it in some these states and saying wait a second, there are positive effects, saying if you have parkinson's disease and other ailments that the medical use of marijuana can be helpful. >> undoubtedly, medicinal

marijuana is a little bit of a different beast if you want to say. it's still considered somewhat alternative medicine. we do know it is good with ptsd, neuropathic pain and many other things, glaucoma, anxiety and even some patients with skits foreign ya. we don't -- schizophrenia. we're paying billions and billions of dollars for long-term consequences because we didn't have research. >> there needs to be major study so we can get to the bottom of it with facts? >> absolutely. we need time. the trump economy is booming on this labor day weekend, consumer confidence is on the rise. mike huckabee said the winning won't stop any time soon. we'll talk to him about that coming up. it's easy for the college football fans to blame the refs. this time they seem to have a point. >> tech: at safelite autoglass,

now i know you're thinking, "i don't want to hear about insurance." cause let's be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right? which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i'm highly likable. i like dennis quaid. awww. and they want me to let you know that, cue overdramatic music, they're on a mission to make insurance painless. excuse me, you dropped this. they know it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting, dennis quaid. that's why they're making it simple, man in cafe. and they know it's expensive. yeah. so they're making it affordable. thank you. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. now, you might not believe any of this since this is a television commercial, but that's why they're being so transparent. anyways. this is the end of the commercial where i walk off into a very dramatic sunset to reveal the new esurance tagline

ly being esurance. it's surprisingly painless. >> the ties between bruce ohr at the obama justice department and this shadowy russian figure are a lot deeper. the times headline can be agents tried to flip russian oligarchs. the fallout spread to trump. >> we've got to get to the bottom of the corruption, the conspiracy, collusion, and the cover-up that's going on in the justice department. >> alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> favorite socialist. >> she's running here in new york for a congressional seat. rachel: this is what socialists do for the kids. >> the democratic nominee for congress out there. going to go to d.c., fight trum. >> yeah! >> the confirmation hearings for supreme court pick brett kavanaugh, they begin this week. >> the primary reason evangelicals voted for president trump by the widest margin of any candidate in history is because of his commitment to a

conservative judiciary. >> bloomberg has a story saying the following: a buzzing economy and low u.s. unemployment is a boon for beef. >> should i have chicken or should i have a steak? how about steak. i got more money in my pocket. ♪ bring that boom box out ♪ we'll wake up all the neighbors ed: wow. ed: your favorite thing. rachel: you had a list of socialists you like, and that alexandria is right. ed: a binder full of socialists. you never know. rachel: she's our favorite socialist, too, by the way. ed: i have no favorite socialists. we just played "house party." a lot of people are going to be having house parties for labor day. every saturday and sunday, we get to have a work party. ed: and we're going to invite

david burke, the celebrity chef. he'll be here grilling steaks next hour. rachel: the other thing we do is we don't shea away from those all-american things like eating steak. ed: yes. of course. and the reason we're talking about it is not just labor day but people have more money in their biotics so they're buying more steak and they're eating more steak. why would you choose anything but that? ed: one of these weekends we're going to get mike huckabee to come on a plane, hang out with us. i know he lives down in florida but we know he loves steaks too. buddy, bloomberg's got an entire story saying the economy is running so strong now, people are running out and buying more beef. you must be in that camp. >> absolutely i'm in that camp. as they say: "beef, it's what's for dinner." i love steak, i love to grill it and if if you guys want me to fly to new york and grill you some phenomenal steaks, that will hap.en ed: that is on tape. it will happen, a hundred percent. i'm all about the. >> the economy is booming. you know, i think it's interesting that the one holiday

of the year that we dedicate to labor is a day we take off. i mean, only in america we do that. but we have a lot to celebrate this labor day. more people are working; consumer confidence at an 18- 18-year high; unemployment 3.9%, gdp 4.2%, expected to be three for the whole year, and one of the most significant numbers is that wages on a weekly basis for people at the low end of the wage-earning scale are actually substantially up. those are important signs that show that not just a piece of the economy, but the full spectrum of the economy is doing just very well right now. ed: governor, on the break we were talking about, the three of us, about how you were focused on the blue-collar worker before the republican was as focused as it should be on it. how did you bring about this rising in wages? you know, what contributes to making that change? >> well, it's really not that

complicated. if you lower the taxes that companies have to be pay, they have more capital. when they have more capital, they can invest not only in products and services and putting things on the shelves; they can invest in the most important asset they have: the people who give them their success. and that's what we've seen. we've seen a number of companies give bonuses and pay raises. the second big thing is deregulation. when companies have to spend an enormous amount of their capital just spending accounts and lawyers to keep up with all the regulations, that's money they can't use to pay their employees employees. when people like, oh, this is a miracle. no, it's actually the most fundamental aspect of economics. when you lower the cost of doing business, you raise the capacity of that business to help its employees. and smart companies are investing in their employees. stupid companies aren't. and they'll be the ones that will go the way of the dinosaur if they don't get in the game and start making sure that the people at the lowest end of their wage are able to do better better. rachel: governor, i just want to mention really fast, it's not

just deregulation and lower taxes. the democrat party used to talk about they used to be the party of the worker and the republicans got that, you know, country club party label. donald trump has really changed this party. we are now the party of the american worker, so many people say. >> we are the party of the people who stand on concrete floors, lift heavy things, come home sweaty and dirty from work. and, frankly, it's way too long that we have not been that. because a good policy ought to impact all americans, not just a few. ed: i got to tell you, somebody who disagrees with you would be alexandria ocasio-cortez who maybe wants to make the democratic party the party of giving out free stuff. and now she's going to the kids. she's maybe reached of how many adults she can reach out there so we found this video she posted orchard. she's in queens, new york, where i'm from reaching out to the kids to rally against the president. watch this and we'll react.

>> running for congress out there. going to go to d.c., going to be fighting trump. [kids screaming] >> crazy. >> we need your help. >> kids are excited about it. >> are you going to tell your parents to vote? >> yes! ed: you know, governor, when i was 11 or 12 years old, i just wanted to go to recess when school started. i didn't want to go rally against jimmy carter. >> this is amazing. i think the reason she's reaching out to those children is because they're the only ones naive enough to believe the nonsense of socialism. most people, especially people with a job, know better. but here's what those kids ought to understand about socialism. here's how it works. six kids in a family all told to rake the leaves and if they rake the leaves, they get an ice cream cone. three of the kids rake the leaves, three sit on their backsides and do absolutely nothing. when all the leaves are raked

then the mom comes out and says, "you know, i'm going to give half of the ice cream to the kids that didn't do any raking after all 'cause that's the way we want to play." the three kids who rake say " "next time it's time to rake the yard, we ain't picking up a rake rake." that's socialism. as the russians used to say in the communist system, it's people pretending to work while the government is pretending to pay them. rachel: it is such a great story boy, with my kids that story comes home. it rings true. ed: you're talking about money, and we have a infinite e finite amount of it in this country, and if you're giving it out at home because socialists are in charge we have less to give out abroad. a lot of people have been wondering why we've been giving money to people who are supposed to be our friends but haven't acted like friends for a long time. news coming out that the pentagon is suspending an additional $300 million in aid to pakistan, it's going to be re reprogrammed, has to be approved by congress, on top of 500 million that was pulled by congress in march.

so this president said he was going to put america first. part of it is, hey, pakistan, if you're still helping the islamists, you're not going to get our money. >> well, a big salute to president trump and to defense secretary mattis for saying that we're not going to just be chumps and doling out cash to pakistan if they're harboring terrorists and if they're not cooperating and trying to stop the influx of terrorists from afghanistan and harboring them, taking care of them. this like a basic trick-or-treat scenario. if people throw eggs at your house, you don't give them a big sack of candy. that's the whole point. if you want to be a nice kid, knock on the door, we'll come, we'll give you, you know, a lollipop. but if you come and break our windows, we're not going to give you a treat. and we've been treating a lot of countries who've been breaking our windows and throwing eggs at us. and thank god that we've got somebody in the white house and someone in the defense department who recognizes how stupid that is, how much of a chump it makes us look like, and just says america's not going to

do that anymore. it's a message not just to pakistan; that's a message to the entire world. ed: in fact, governor in recent weeks the president's also done that with the palestinians and said enough is enough with us giving more and more money from hardworking americans, their tax dollars when hamas is running the show. >> there have been so many instances where hamas marches little children out in front of their military exercises so that they hopefully will become the targets. mothers encourage that, which is just beyond my comprehension to understand it. flying kites and burning fields and murdering and kidnapping israelis. you know, and people can say what they want. i've been to that border many, many times. i was just there about four weeks ago. the story doesn't get told correctly. but the u.s. is doing exactly what it ought to be doing, we're not going to reward terrorists

and countries that reward people for killing jews and gives a pension for life for someone in a family if their loved one went out and murdered a jew. folks, that's not how the world can work and ever see peace. and i'm just glad that our country's going that way. ed: it seems like common sense, but it took a long time. pakistan 17 years after 9/11 they've been duplicitous ever since. why did it take so long for this measure to happen? >> we have a long history in this country of our diplomacy and public policy operating with really, a level of idiocy that says that, you know, if you just keep doling out favors to people they'll eventually start liking you. you know, after a while you'd think that we'd get the message: it doesn't work. this is a president who, frankly for the first time probably since ronald reagan is un unconventional in his approach. now, people can complain that, you know, he doesn't have a good bedside manner, but the patient lives. i'd rather have a doctor that takes good care of me and i survive the surgery than one comes and hugs my neck, sits on the bed and weeps with me 'cause

i'm sick but i die because of his treatment. forget the bedside manner. i want results, and we're getting them with this president president. and i think a lot of americans are grateful for that. rachel: governor, rewarding bad behavior doesn't work on the global stage. it doesn't work in parenting, either. all good messages today. ed: you are the king of analogies. rachel: you're right. ed: fantastic. governor, thank you very much. appreciate it. rachel: thank you, governor. >> thank you. have a great weekend, guys. thank you. rachel: he's always such a great guest, isn't he? he's the best. turning now to your headlines and starting with a fox news alert. authorities say a terrorist motive is behind the stabbing of two american tourists in an amsterdam train station, officers shooting and injuring the suspect who they say shows signs of supreme. the 19-year-old man is from afghanistan and -- supreme. he is recovering. the unever unidentified americans are recovering from

their injuries. the press firing after president trump's off the record comments. claiming in a tweet that bloomberg was not the source behind the comment that derailed the trade negotiations after the president demanded an apology. despite the claims, dale did not reveal where the transcript came from. and you don't see this every day. a college football player taken down by the referee! >> a.d. miller is going to get roasted in film for getting tackled by the official. ed: pretty good tackle. ed: he tried to get out of the way. ed: that was oklahoma's a.d. miller running right into the official. rachel: yeah. and the best part his teammates reacting on the sideline. he would eventually score a touchdown on the drive before the sooners beat florida atlantic 63-15. ed: that will live in infamy.

ed: an social media ceremony for john mccain with eulogies from the senator's daughter and two former presidents getting a bit political. a live report on that next. ed: and charlie's in trouble again, years after getting caught lying on the beach and failing to pay taxes on that rental property in punta cana, former congressman charlie rangel owes some money to people people.

♪ ed: family, colleagues, and political opponents paying their final respects to senator john mccain. ed: the funeral for the man known as the maverick of the senate held yesterday, of course at washington's national cathedral, a whole bunch of more happening to.ay rachel: that's right. garrett tenney is live in washington looking ahead to

mccain's final farewell which will be hours from now. >> in his memoir published several years ago senator mccain said he wanted to be laid to rest back where it all began. he was be buried at a private ceremony at the u.s. naval academy in maryland. yesterday was another emotional day of tributes to mccain's life and his service and it started with a visit to the vietnam veterans memorial where mccain's wife, his daughter, her husband, and other vietnam veterans. more than 2500 people gathered at the washington national cathedral for the funeral service where mccain's daughters gave an emotional tribute to her father. >> like so many other heroes, you leave us draped in the flag you love. you defended it. you sacrificed it. you have always honored it. ed:. >> p8: while president trump did not attempt the funeral at the mccain family's request, his

three predecessors it. george w. bush and barack obama, had statements that many interpreted as shots at the commander-in-chief. meghan mccain was not subtle in her review. >> so much of our politics, our pibb life, our public discourse can seem small and mean and petty. john called on us to be bigger than that. >> perhaps above all, john detested the abuse of power, did not abide bigots and swaggering despots. >> the america of john mccain has no need to be made great again because america was always great. >> president trump was playing golf at trump national during the funeral but yesterday even he tweeted about trade and the f.b.i. and posted what some viewed as a response, writing in all caps, "make america great again." now, in addition to mccain's family and close friends, military leaders and the remaining members of his graduating class of 1958 at the

naval academy will attend his funeral this afternoon. ed: garrett, thank you. so glad barack obama was never small in office or petty. rachel: yeah. ed: never. no, exactly right. rachel: someone who was a little petty was jeff flake. he tweeted this out during the funeral, which was supposed to be about john mccain. and he wrote, "decency wins." >>the first word is great, and i do -- ed: really? ed: "decency" because those former presidents do show decency, and i know you're going to disagree with me, you got to look at the whole picture with bill clinton and barack obama and george w. bush who made mistakes in office, by the way. but the "wins" part. since when has anyone's funeral been about winners and losers that somehow these former presidents are better than the current president? let's focus on the life and legacy of john mccain which is wonderful is should be celebrated not just now but for many years to come. ed: right. and it's -- to take shots from the podium at a funeral, to your

point, appreciate the love, the service, the amazing service of a guy like john mccain without taking shots. for the establishment, you had republicans that don't like trump, you had democrats that don't like trump, you can love the service of john mccain and also love what donald trump is doing to make america great again. those two don't have to be mutually exclusive, and it's unfortunate when that gets blurred when we should be recognizing the legacy, in my opin.on rachel: very good point. well, vice president mike pence is getting attacked for his faith again. take a look. >> there's this idea that anything is permissible in the pursuit of a higher goal. he would like to impose a religiously inspired politics on our country. rachel: so why does the left think this is okay? ed: plus, former white house press secretary sean spicer is going to join us for the greatest live shot in history, period. ed: ever? rachel: ever. ed: i'm just quoting him.

he's now unable to pay the fines fines. rachel? rachel: wow. thank you, ed. vice president mike pence attacked for his christian faith again. this time by an -- a cnn contributory who smears him as a "christian supremacist," something i've never heard about about. let's see this clip. >> within the faith that mike pence subscribes to, there's this idea that anything is permissible in the pursuit of a higher goal. he would like to impose a religiously inspired politics on our country. that means rolling back marriage equality. it means a ban on abortion. a whole host of policies that are religiously driven. rachel: so how is it okay for critics to continually go after the vice president over his christian faith? ed: joining us with his reaction daily wire contributor and author of the "the unholy trinity, the left's assault on life, marriage, and gender," matt walsh. why is attacking christian faith still inside the bounds?

>> well, first of all, i just wish if that you're going to attack the christian faith maybe learn like one or two things about it, because that's not in the christian faith that anything is permissible in the pursuit of a higher good pap that's exactly the opposite of the christian faith. ends justify the means, that's an atheist, secularist point of view, not the christian point of view. the second thing is there's the really stupid idea that if you're a conservative christian politician your faith for some reason isn't supposed to motivate your policy positions like we're supposed to be robots separating our faith from our policy but they never say that if you're an atheist politician, they never say that's not supposed to motive-of-motivate it. if you're a fake christian democrat and you say my faith says that we need to have open borders and reduce carbon emissions they'll celebrate that and they'll welcome that. it's only when you take certain positions that all of a sudden they're very worried about your christian faith, because it's just bigotry against christianity. rachel: and, you know, there's something specifically about pence -- when i talk to democrats, a lot of people say,

you know what? we really don't want to impeach president trump because pence is worse than trump. they really have a special animus for our vice president. >> they do. and on the left, there's nothing worse at all than being a conservative christian. there's nothing worse than being a social conservative, and if you're conservative christian, then that's going to be associated with that. obviously they hate trump and they criticize trump for petty things sometimes. but with mike pence, i mean, they criticized him for not wanting to go on lunch dates with other women who aren't his wife. so, i mean, they'll go after mike pence for literally anything because when it comes down to it i think on the left, the primary motivating things for modern leftists is that they -- they hate western civilization, as it has historically stood, and they see correctly that christianity has been the driving force for western civilization historically. ed: good point. the vice president was asked about those comments. here's what he said. >> any time i'm criticized for my belief in jesus christ, i

just breathe a prayer of praise. this is a nation of faith. and so i'll -- we'll continue to stand for the things that we believe in. ed: i bet those comments scare that cnn contributor even more. >> yeah, that's very terrifying. listen to that christian supremacist. mike pence, he does a great job of -- he responds to this as a christian. and i think he responds to it in a way that's very disarming because it shows how ridiculous it is to be afraid of christians when he's very gentle about it and he's saying look, i'll pray for these people and that's it. that's the christian response. i think it's great. ed: well done. matt walsh. thanks for your time. appreciate it. good stuff. colin kaepernick sparked nationwide outrageous you may recall for kneeling during our nation's anthem but one sports superstar says every human should be grateful for him. we're serious. rachel: and the press has had the same warning for the president for months. listen. >> the walls are closing in. >> the legal walls are closing

and they violated it. and they said they were violating it. when you say "off the record" that's a very, it's not a legal term, but it's a term of honor. they said president trump said " "off the record" and then they go on to this -- i said this is a first. these are very dishonorable people. but i said in the end it's okay. because at least canada knows how i feel. so it's fine. it's fine. it's true.

leaked it to the toronto star, this seems like a remarkable development. >> it does. and i think it's probably the former. and somebody who was told about it shared it with them. it seems unlikely a reporter would go straight to somebody but again there's a level of trust that's incorporated in using terms like that, and it prevents the ability to have private and frank discussions and be able to explain to reporters things that you want to say without going on the record to give the reporter a better understanding of your state of mind or facts that might be important. rachel: sean, can i tell you what went through my mind? i thought, these are very sensitive negotiations. there's a lot on the line for american farmers, for american dairy farmers. this could have potentially blown up this negotiation, and i think, wow, they're putting their animus towards the president ahead of america first first. >> well, i mean, you're right. i mean, you look at the amount not just agricultural products but services and manufacturing, there's a lot at stake with

and concern. the president's continuing to stay focused and getting the results that he is. they continue to have their minds blown by, you know, everything that he does. the level of objectivity has been thrown out the window. and there's no question when you look at these surveys one after another, that there's a degree of animosity and lack of objectivity in the media that exist today. the media research center has it as high as 92% of the coverage of this president being negativity. that's just mind-blowing. the idea that with everything that's being done in the economy whether it's consumer confidence the economy, or joblessness, all of these other areas that are being done. and we're not even beginning to talk about trade and what he's doing for american ranchers, farmers, service industry members, and manufacturers that all that coverage constitutes so negative -- so much negativity. ed: and sean, i bet if we found some tape from the early days at the podium and you were talking

about some of these economic policies, there would be a lot of reporters saying there's no way you'll get to 4% gdp, sean, this is a fantasy. >> even 3%, ed, 3% was what they said was cooking the books. ed: and on that point, give you time to talk here on trade, that when you talked about tariffs and when sarah after you has talked about tariffs, we've heard all of this the walls are closing in type things. it's just going to blow up the economy. and yet here we see canada at the table, and mexico, by the way, has cut a deal with this president that people predicted would never happen, that we would never renegotiate nafta, and it's happening. >> oh, not only is it happening, but the deal that he's gotten with mexico updates the agreement to provide our service providers, our manufacturers and our agricultural growers with so much more than they did. remember, nafta went into force in the mid-1990s. but the nexus of nafta was the canadian-u.s. free trade agreement signed in 1998. it is that agreement that brought mexico to the table

because they thought they were losing out on an agreement that benefited canada and would institute more trade -- would flow more trade to the north. so it's that same tactic that's now being used in a reverse way. it's bringing canada back to the table after the president has negotiated a much better deal with mexico. ed: it's almost like the guy in the oval office has done a few deals before. rachel: yeah. ed: knows how to maybe negotiat. rachel: it is interesting, sean, how like they keep getting this bad news. the american people are pretty smart. they're ignoring it, every bombshell. you know? ed: we'll wait and see. >> look. the american people are smart. they understand that they're seeing the results in their pocketbook, that their funds, their neighbors, themselves are getting higher wages. they look around and see the economy moving forward; they feel safer. they understand results. you can't sneak things by them. i mean, the american people -- they know what's going on in the same way that we've seen pete and his tan suit come out over and over again.

administrative duties. from my experience, that's a very noble cause, but it's not one that works long-term. ed: so what they're doing for the weekend, as you just said, taking folks out of administrative roles, putting them on the block, on the beat, but it just feels like a band-aid. what needs to be done in the long term so it's not just labor day weekend, it's going forward for these citizens of chicago to live in peace? >> that's a very good question. and what needs to happen long term is that those officers need to be permanent officers, which means that the numbers that the police officers are putting forward need to be a sustainable number so they can engage with the community in the right way. because, as you and i know, you can put anybody into a situation but if they don't have a full understanding on what's going on on the ground, they're not going to be as effective as they could be. and so, you know, in previous statements, it was calling on the president to put forth some more money, some more resources, not just to the police department, but to the communit.

ed: community policing is much more than a buzzword. it is the relationships, the rapport you develop with people who then see you as an ally as opposed to a alien or a foe coming into the community. in addition to adding permanent police and being more aggressive should the president step in at this point? >> well, like i said, pete, i think that this is an opportunity for the president. and what i can say about the president is that he's a bottom line person. he looks at the bottom line, he looks at the numbers, and he says, "this just makes sense not just for americans, but does this make good business sense?" and the business case in chicago for putting more money into the police department and putting more money in the community is that it just strengthens the economic ties and the economic relationship that the chicago communities have not just with the greater city but with the whole country. so i think this is an opportunity for him to step in and really turn this community around and turn some things around with -- as we know, with a stroke of his .en ed: he obviously has an earnest hart for the forgotten men and

401(k)s are definitely up, and it is a fantastic tool to help people, to be able to build wealth and live their dreams. but realistically what we have to do is utilize some, and we have to encourage people to really get involved and understand the power of compound interest. when you put money in and you let it sit, time and compound interest are your money's best friends. so we have to be aware of the tools, but we also have to use them. ed: i hear you but i'm so tempted. i want to buy a you new car, i want to get a new suit, i want to go out and have a nice meal. people, you know, have these things they want to do and retirement seems so far away. >> well, you know what? we all have wants, and we all want to do things, but i think what we have to do is to be adult enough to tell a want that it needs to wait. like it's okay to have some stuff and enjoy some things. i think it's about moderation. so plugging in and utilizing your 401(k) still will leave you money if you're budgeting properly to really be able to save some cash and enjoy some

things. we don't want to get caught up in living in the day and for the day. we've got to be aware and prepare for the future. ed: so i want to get to the prescription real quickly, the diagnosis that you just mentioned, underline that. we looked at the number. 78% say they are concerned about not having enough to retire. than an astounding number. so what would you say is a prescription to start to deal with this problem? >> yeah, 78% is a high number and i think it's probably even higher. as i travel the country and talk to people, people are really concerned. some are even scared. so what i want people to do is to decide to take action, to understand that it's not too late. you know, we all feel that way sometimes, but you still have time. you've got to get on a plan that works and by plan here's what i mean. we've got to start to budget. tell your money where to go instead of wondering where it went. we've got to get a thief out of our lives and theta did he say, i'm talking about credit cards, consumer loans, and even student loans. pay those off, smallest to biggest and now you'll free up money to build an emergency fund a good cushion of three to six

>> [screaming] >> there is your poster child for hating trump. >> that was an immature thing to post. this is what socialist try to do. they don't want to help kids. they want to organizize kids. >> kids so young we had to block out their faces. yet she's recruiting them. >> she got behind various candidates in florida this past week. one got 14% and lost. it was pretty embarrassing for cortez. the man right there she got behind him and he won. they all united behind this guy. he's the next great hope. all of this socialist support and money from the left. as i mentioned he beats the

establishment, great news. except they learn oh, gosh. there is acfbi probe as to how they have been doling out infrastructure money. he's not a revolutionary money. he's been doling out the money. >> did it come out after he won. >> he was teasing the campaign. a lot of people didn't believe he would win. they thought the daughter of bob graham would win. we have seen this on the republican side. on the misdemeanorric side the same thing is happening. they find out maybe he's not so dreamy. >> that shiny object could be a big liability there was a trip p

to costa rica. there are questions being raised. there have been subpoenas and thousands of documents. >> the campaign is not sad about this development. >> i believe he's an out and proud socialist. this state is benefiting from the free market. >> he would -- >> like cortez he would like to abolish ice. good luck with that. we'll move from socialist to headlines. >> authorities say a terrorist motive is behind the stabbing of two american tourist. officers shot and injured the

suspect who they say showed signs of extremism. the 1-year-ol 1 -- 19-year-old m afghanistan. new videos of a suspected ms-13 member charged with sexually assaulting a trial. they are accusing him of breaking into an 11-year-old bedroom at her family's apartment. surveillance video helped police catch him. image if your co-worker is your long lost parent. his adopted mother noticed one of his social media friends. >> my mom came by and said you are friends with your dad on facebook. he asked me if i knew his biological mother. i fell out of my seat.

sleep number. proven, quality sleep. as leaders are set to return to capitol hill we gave some advise to the tech giants. >> one of the mistakes we made during the false accusations we started to believe everybody looked bias. we created a lot of issues. it looks like silicon valley will fall into that trap. >> micheal, what say you about that? >> you know how i can tell chuck todd is lying and that's because his mouth is moving. he began his own career. the numbers don't lie. seven% of journalist and network

news coverage is negative. 96% of political donations benefited hillary clinton. those numbers don't lie, chuck todd does. he's admitted his left wing bias. >> it's strong to say he's lying. i'm not sure he's lying. he might be in denial about the problems the mainstream media has with press but to say he's lying. >> i think he is lying. he knows the numbers and knows that big tech is bias. they have covered up stories. they regularly boosted left wing stories. this is hurting their bottom line. the point is when you go woke you go broke.

for the first time ever facebook user ship has declined. twitter usership has dropped dramatically. >> ahead of the testimony to your point they were doing the media tour. he spoke to lister holt and acknowledged they had a bias to the left and trying to do something. here is what they said on twitter. we acknowledge our responsibility and commit to greater accountability. we'll listen, learn, and engage in any practical ideas we have. i look forward to the conversation. maybe that's sincere or might have been written by a p.r. person. what will they actually do about bias and will they finally pin them down. >> it's just words, words, words. i hope the lawmakers can pin

them down. i believe they should look at their own bottom line. they are more then able to follow the mainstream media down the path of sensor and conservative and degrading half of the country. they will end up like the media and that's largely tuned out and irrelevant. >> it seems sometimes they hide behind alga rhythm. >> we are not asking them to be big conservatives. we just want transparency.

if they are stopping conservative. >> the tech giants told us the whole idea of twitter and facebook, i thought inpart was connecting but transparency. people telling you about their lives. you see records wide open. all of a sudden we are in the dark. they tell us you can't tell us. >> that's right. the whole aspect of social media is it finally cracked up the ma monopoly. they got those views out unvarnished. big tech is changing that and it's a shame. >> we'll watch the testimony. thank you for the preview. >> good to see you. >> outrage growing over this one.

hester. the defending super bowl champion the eagles will take on the falcons. >> i thought the vikings won. [laughter] >> next year is our year. outrage over louis farrakhan seat of honor at the pulpit of aretha franklin's funeral. >> the controversial leader that said jews are my enemy and white folks are going down was seated prominently alongside bill clinton. >> allen will join us to react. he's been a consistent critic of louis farrakhan and his actions. >> i'm really trying to find out why president bill clinton would do something like this. help mainstream a bigot like

louis farrakhan. he called hillary clinton a wicked woman. he compared her to hitler. the question i would ask president clinton is would you sit next to david duke if he had been invited to a funeral of a white singer somewhere in the united states. of course the answer would be no. louis farrakhan is just as bad. he's posed with president obama and keith. you can't mainstream and allow legitimacy with the hate he's expressed of so many people. the question i pose to president clinton is why. maybe he didn't know. he wanted to show respect. he didn't want to get up in protest. i would understand all of that

but he has explaining to do. >> what about the questions to the media. this is not a story. they are not blinking an eye. president trump was three seats down from a racist they would talk about it for months. >> some people there is an affirmative action program and the standard for criticizing black bigots is different from white bigots. you know, there are some who say, particularly on the left we need to support of louis farrakhan. he brings a lot of voters. there is no justification for that. i hope we here a good explanation from president clinton.

i can't image he was happy about a man who called his wife a wicked woman and compared her to hitler. i would like to know who invited louis farrakhan. i know there was a relationship 30 years earlier. i'm not sure if the relationship continued. any president should have said no. if you want me on the stage you can't have a bigot like that on-stage with me. >> many wonder why bruce still has a job at the white house. people have been saying this is just a fox news story. it turns out the justice department official was working with others to try to flip a

russian olagar. hose couldn't flip him and that wasn't told to fisa. i want to presume orr innocent until i hear evidence to the contrary. the question is why he invited his wife to attend a lunch for an information and at what timerring when he knew his wife was working as a private contractor to a private company working for one political party. >> yeah, i think that's a question the inspector general should be putting to orr.

>> everybody said he's a decent professional guy. >> we also learned that bruce orr gave him updates and then andrew ended up on mueller's special council team. is that a conflict of interest? >> i don't see that as a conflict of interest. he's a distinguished prosecutor. i don't see that as a conflict. the conflict of sharing information with his wife who worked as a private citizen. >> thank you. i appreciate you coming in. >> thank you professor. >> did you hate getting up early for school?

one state would like to make it a law to let students sleep-in. guess what state that is. >> an adorable reunion in the year in the making. the video that will have you smiling. you're headed down the highway when the guy in front slams on his brakes out of nowhere. you do, too, but not in time.

>> mom and dad have been calling you and know you are late for your first day of middle school. >> what? >> mom is waiting for you in the car. >> kids need sleep and california may soon ban schools before starting schools before 8:30 a.m. >> they just did it. by 2020 middle school and high school can't open until after 8:30. california would like more wimpy kids. sleep-in if you want. >> i think school boards and not the state should make this decision. when i look at my kids i do think they need more sleep-in the morning. we would all get off better. i wonder if that early time

is -- >> people are skeptical. >> what about the go to bed early thing. >> they won't do it. >> you have to run your house like a boot camp. >> i have to say i'll side with rachel. i saw my son as 17. a few years ago he got up to 6:00 a.m. to make it to junior high and high school. it's a bit early. >> i do this morning show and i have to get up at 3:30. >> you are a multimillionaire. you are making the paper. these are kids that brains are still developing. i'm for being a tough dad but i've seen it with my own kids. the school districts make them get up early. >> in 2020 they must start after

8:30. california would like to be like europe any way. a four day workweek. >> they stay in cool a little longer. some schools they leave at 2:30. >> yeah, stay at school until 3:30. >> let us know what you think. >> you need more sleep, apparently. >> all right, we'll turn to your headlines. a wanted woman takes a baby on a wild police chase before crashing in texas. >> high rate of speed coming up to the creek. hold the air. 1050. 1050. >> 2 woman grabbed the child and ran with the baby. he tried to steal a car while

holding the baby. that's when police finally rescued her. a group of thrill seekers get more thrills. riders escorted off a six flag's roller coaster. it safety senators were triggered but they are unsure why. everyone was brought to the ground safely. take a look at this. >> oh, my goodness. oh, my goodness. i know. i know. >> a dog over filled with joy as his owner returns home to texas after deployment. she severed about a year with the navy. >> we are thankful for her service and psycho is the dog.

here are your temperatures today. we had an incredibly hot and humid day. look at this by tuesday. all of the heat is back. the humidity and heat, guys summer is hanging on. >> how will it be in bermuda. >> you might have a hurricane around bermuda. >> rick has a prime spot making steaks. kansas governor jerry brown only has a few months left in office. he could commute sentences for death row inmates. we'll debate it next. where is the beach? it's on the grill. americans are splurging for steaks. you have more money in your pocket meaning more meat on the grill. >> get over there. when my hot water heater failed

sundays. there are currently 744 inmates on california's death row. they believe jerry brown will commute some of their sentences. would that be the right or wrong move? joining us know is mike slater host of the mike slater show. juniogentleman, thank you for jg us. is this a reasonable look at some people who may have been unfairly caught up in the system. is this part of governor brown's loosening of rules. >> he could do this. i think he will. it's important to know this is not about if the death penalty is good or bad. it's not about if he can commute one or two peoples sentencing.

it's whether he could without any regard to the pacifics of each persons case. >> that's an very interesting and important case. >> clearly he doesn't believe in the death penalty. commuting these cases means he's not in jail. >> the governor has given no indication this is what he plans to do. he's shown a i fidelity to to te law. what he needs to do were mike and i have -- other cases seems like people deserve a new trial like clemency or pardon. some cases a communion. i don't think he'll do a blank communion. i think the voters decided he

has the right to do it. it's his governmental right to do so. nonof them have received communtation. >> yeah, he's not following it will of the people. in 2012 and 2016 there was a prop tuition on the state ballot and both times the people of california said they want to keep the death penalty. not only that, there was another bill that would have sped up the appeals process. they are slowing the system down on purpose. many are like hurry-up. let's put them to death.

people are seeing through this. the governor is not following the rule of the people. >> again, i would disagree. if you take this less seriously and would like to speed things up someone like kevin cooper would be dead abdomen ther deads evidence that would release him. speeding things up means you are taking peoples lives less seriously. the governor hasn't given any proof that he will do this. he's taking each case seriously. >> mike slater, do you think it happens. >> i think it does. the governor commuted a sentence because he was friends with his dad. they know this is wrong. >> we'll follow this story

closely and may bring you back. >> thank you. well, where is the beef? it's with us. there are too many green things on the grill. americans are saving on stakes. hi there. this is a commercial about insurance. now i know you're thinking, "i don't want to hear about insurance." cause let's be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right? which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i'm highly likable. i like dennis quaid. awww. and they want me to let you know that, cue overdramatic music, they're on a mission to make insurance painless. excuse me, you dropped this. they know it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting, dennis quaid. that's why they're making it simple, man in cafe. and they know it's expensive.

yeah. so they're making it affordable. thank you. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. now, you might not believe any of this since this is a television commercial, but that's why they're being so transparent. anyways. this is the end of the commercial where i walk off into a very dramatic sunset to reveal the new esurance tagline so that you'll remember it. esurance. it's surprisingly painless.
