they just eat the seats. jillian: maybe they eat everything. the food was the main entree and the seats were dessert. rob: if you say. so. jillian: have a good day. >> vice president mike pence slamming the unanimous "new york times" op-ed. >> undemocratic. not just deceitful. it's an assault on our deck crate. that person should do the honorable thing step forward and resign. >> i agree with that position. the honorable thing to do is resign and go public with the author's concerns. >> the idea someone should be shamed for working for this administration is outrageous statement. >> what he describes a nervous break down inside the trump administration. >> people better wake up to what's going on. >> absolutely absurd. sometimes i watch a little bit of tv in the morning and then i go to the white house and i feel like anytime a parallel universe. >> 12 house republicans are calling on president trump to declassify documents

related to probe fbi action. >> now we are proceeding to get additional documents from the fbi. >> we need to get all of this information out as part of oversight. >> final preparations now underway as hurricane florence regains its strength in the atlantic. >> he is actually doing what he said he would do. amazing thing in itself, isn't it? ainsley: we begin with extreme weather. final preparations are underway on the east coast as hurricane florence is now a category 2. steve: feel are filling sand bags preparing for the worse ahead of what could be a fierce storm likely striking, perhaps, thursday. brian: this is coming out of nowhere. virginia, north carolina, and south carolina all declaring states of emergency. this comes as u.s. navy orders warships and submarines to leave the norfolk in virginia and do that today over in virginia beach. steve: right there you can see the cone of uncertainty.

we don't know where it's going to make landfall. it's all the way from mr. chesapeake bay down toward portions of northern georgia. look at that just offshore, a category 4. so it's going to develop into a major hurricane tonight. could hit the east coast thursday. we will be feeling some tropical storm force winds on wednesday. so, look out because, of course, big storms like this you always have to worry about thstorm surge but the wins itself hits the main land. ainsley: i was down south visiting my family and every local news channel is talking about this. every person in that area is watching very closely to see where it's going to go. my sister is a school teacher in charleston. are we going to be evaluating in the middle of the week. it looks like it's going to go towards the carolina coast but as we know anything can change. we will be talking to janice dean throughout morning

show. brian: one of fill i can't tells have been down there. ainsley: you own an affiliate? brian: virginia beach. military centric city in the country. ainsley: you mean for radio? brian: for radio. two minutes after the hour. let's talk about anonymous and bob woodward's book and how the two world meet. steve: complete coincidence that they both should come out about in the same time period. you know anonymous, bob woodward's book comes out tomorrow. nawms nobodnawms knows who she d printed it and know he is it's false. brian: gets people to talk to other people who were

there and verify their stories other people that were there in terms of the main subjects he doesn't necessarily work out interviews with kelly. doesn't walk out with interviews with mattis. he walks out with interviews with people that were there and said that mattis said these things. and then he puts the historical content. he makes it into almost like historical novel the way he does it. steve: the president has and this was towards the end of last weeks. the president urged the department of justice to find names. hanonymous. what slaw broken if any? nonetheless, vice president mike pence was on two of the sunday shows yesterday and said there could be something to that. >> yeah, i think the president's concern is that this individual may have responsibilities in the area of national security. and if they've now published annual anonymous editorial says they are misrepresenting themselves and living a lie within this administration and trying to frustrate and subvert the agenda the president was

elected to advance, that's an important issue. it's not just deceitful, but it's really an assault on our democracy and that person should do the honorable thing, step forward and resign. steve: mike pence said yesterday he is willing to take a lie detector to prove that he didn't write it and nobody on his staff, he feels wrote it. ainsley: he is 100 percent on his staff was involved in this or was anonymous. he goes on to say this person was undemocratic because they took an oath to the constitution and add to advance the president's agenda. brian: i love what nikki haley said over the weekend. i serve the president and proud to serving him. i directly say to him it's my opinion. ultimately, he is the president and then we go along with whatever he wants to do. the president not only allows me to do it, he wants me to speak up and say when we disagree. special because so much of the anonymous allegations as well as the woodward book talk about his foreign policy decisions. nothing about saying i'm

going to -- i would love to kill assad is unnatural. it looks like president bush tried to take a shot at saddam hussein before the war started. a lot of people including me thought that was a good move. when you are the president of the united states and have a bit of emotion to you under a say to a staff in confidence what's kill this guy? what's wrong with that? that's a natural reaction and should be able to trust the people in the oval office. steve: those are the two differences. have you got anonymous, supposedly an administration official somewhere who has not revealed themselves saying behind the scenes, it's chaotic and we're keeping the president, there is a bunch of us, keeping the president from doing what he wants to do because it's dangerous. and then you have got the bob woodward book comes out tomorrow actually talks to. so people who are involved behind the scenes. chris christie was on one of the morning shows yesterday. and he battled michelle goldberg from the "new york times" where she was talking about the people who are at the white house. what are they doing there exactly and chris christie and she said this about

that. >> i honestly don't understand how people can be part of this and not feel shane and not feel some responsibility for fois this on this administration. >> the idea somebody should be shamed is outrageous statement. >> the fact is and you know, this noble in this administration or the number of people in this administration who have any respect for the president is infinitesimal. >> that's not true. >> it's been hard to narrow down who wrote this in the first place. >> that's your opinion. that's just not true. that's your opinion. from where you sit have you no respect from the president, that's obvious. brian: she just sits there obviously outraged mimicking how some view the president. to think these people around him all don't respect him or know him is ridiculous. to say that to chris christie to has known him for 10, 15 years intimately and who has regular contact with him is outrageous.

ainsley: mike pence, and if you watch the chris wallace interview yesterday he goes on to say this is just a distraction. people don't like this presidents and trying to say whatever they can from this booming economy. john voight also said the same thing yesterday when he was on with mark levin are listen to this. >> the investo vir lens is effective. is he actually doing what he said he would do. amazes thing himself, isn't it. he is actually accomplishing returning to our basic principles of government that were given to us by those guys on the wall there. right? he is accomplishing it. and they are in disarray. he is one by one picking out the stuff that's the weeds. and they're the weeds. and so this is their dying breath. they have to stop him

somehow. so you see these very extraordinary things that they come up with. that's what they do. conjuring lies and slanders against this man trying to destroy this presidency. it's that simple. steve: he has got a great point. when you look at the economy, and it is booming, that is mr. trump's trump card when it comes to the midterm elections. look, if you want this to continue, have you got to keep republicans in play. however, as we heard from the former put of the united states, this recovery, that is booming happening under his watch. i giv get credit too. we'll talk about that more in the half hour. brian: nine minutes after the hour, go ahead and talk about sunday football. it looks as though there was a lot of great games and got a chance to look at them. one thing is clear we didn't see it only two dolphins that decided to take a knee during the national anthem. steve: that's right. brian: saluted by collin kaepernick for doing so. thankfully this is losing

steam. ainsley: ken in stills and albert. two kneeling. two raising their fist. see the picture collin kaepernick my brothers k stills and albert wilkerson, shows twitter handle there. continue to unwavering strength by fighting for the oppressed. they have not backed down. even when attacked and intimidated. their courage will move the world forward. love is at the root of our resistance. only two kneeling yesterday. over the weekend the president of the united states was busy tweeting and reminding people that the nfl football ratings for thursday night were the lowest they have been since 2008. and he attributes it to the fact that there are protests during a time when people should be standing. >> marshon leverage sure when the radars, there will be two games tonight. a couple more. the nfl decides, we're not going to rule.

we are not going to have a policy. they had a policy in may. they thought about it again in june. and then they thought about not having one in september. so, congratulations nfl, you have been twisting yourself into a pretzel. hopefully this thing just peters out. ainsley: one in june said if you are going to kneel go back in the locker room don't come out there. were a few that went into the locker room. steve: nbc to their credit did broadcast the national anthem. brian: 11 minutes after the hour. if you guys were out here jillian newscast on our show. jillian: we will have a recap of a couple of those games in main. a border patrol eating was shot at while sitting in his car near the u.s. mexico border. mexican national and hit the car where two bullets near the port of entry in san diego, california. the agent was not hurt. mexican police arrested one suspect found with a mansd gun. the fbi is investigating. at least seven people are seriously hurt after a man

phrase secular stagnation to explain why we weren't going to get fast growth again wages stagnant throughout the obama years. when you come in recession baseline is low cawntd grow the economy a lot. he didn't. in comes donald trump and shockingly small amount of time we have had 3% annual average growth. 2.4% growth in the last quarter and wages up. pretty good start. steve: you know essential to barack obama's historical legacy is the fact that there was this big economic recovery after the big crash. that's his story. >> right. and that also is just, you know, if you go back and look at the facts, th financial drivers occurred in 2008 and stable in 2008. involved bailing out people who didn't deserve government money. it happened. he came in and it should have been straight up from there because of obamacare, because of the tax hikes. because of the clouds he put over the economy for all 8

years of his presidency saying to things to business people oh you didn't build that because the company you created well there is a road in front of that company paid for by the government. all of that really killed economic growth. steve: christian, real quick, isn't that all about whipping up people for the mid terms so he can turn out democrats and turn the congress around? >> it is. i don't think it's going to work. you know, also what he really did in his speech is what progressives always do now is accuse republicans of being racist. that's another thing trump has done is flipped around the racial acrimony that obama started. must better situation. steve: christian whit ton former policy advisor to president trump thank you very much. >> thanks, steve. steve: 6:20 in new york city. a food truck serving up fresh controversy. why the owner is refusing to serve police officers. and talking to your kids can be hard especially when they are hurting. >> don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something.

about scary events, terrorist attacks? >> terrorism, school shootings with a young kid, they see that on the tv. and you have to help them redefine their world. honey, that happened 2,000 miles away. we would have to get in the car and drive four nights, you know, to get there and you know what? grandma lives down the street, your little gold fish gill is fine and mom and dad are right here that usually settles kids counsel. that's all age-appropriate. when they are older. >> you are the psychological blanket for your kid. if you overdo it. if you overdo everything and us men love to fix things as you know. and if you are fixing everything, you are going to create a victim mentality in your kid. we have enough victims in our society, trust me. we need kids who stand on their own two feet and run toward the fear. ainsley: how old do your children need to be to have these conversations? >> oh, 5 and 6 years of age.

kids are nasty little suckers. go to a mall and sit there for a half an hour you will know why some mothers eat their young. ainsley: say about bullying. >> there are nasty people in the world. you don't want to do that again age appropriate. you have got to remember being snarky or nasty to your kids is not being bull idea. bullying is three or four against one. weather that happens in physical harm is in question, you pound on that principal's desk. you get action. because you have to be the proactive momma bear, papa bear in that situation. ainsley: what's your reaction to people talking to kids about divorce. >> don't bad mouth your ex. i don't care if he is the slime because of the year. don't bad mouth him.

♪ jump right in ♪ powell yourself in ♪ not a lullaby ♪ brian: those sky divers look familiar. steve: that's right ed henry and jedediah had extra time on heir hand and went upstate new york. ed joins us now. what were you thinking jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. ed: i was not thinking. our producers are so wonderful. friday i'm off and trying to enjoy a round of gulf. hey would you and pete jump out of a plane with jedediah

come on, man, man up. ed: pete is i will do this from 330,000 feet not 13,000. overnight pete says he has a birthday party to go to he is like peace out. i get roped into it and just to fast forward by the way. our great producer says come on it will take a few hours on saturday after the show. last night i get taken to the u.s. open men's final i call sean do you want to go i can't go. wait a second i had to carve out saturday hours and hours. it turned out to be fun and exhilarating. ainsley: what did you think. ed: i asked her if you want to do it i go for it. i was hedging and then i have got to say i think i'm one and done. exhilarating i don't think i will do it again. brian: were you nervous? ed: i was on the plane they say when we get to 13,500 feet we will push you out basically. and i looked from a big height and i said wow, we

are really high up probably about to jump, the guy i was strapped in said we are at 5,000 feet. we're not each half way there. then i was really thinking, here's what i did, true story i started say our father, who art in heaven over and over. i didn't think i was going to die. i was trying to focus. keep my ninsd on something else. one of the guys who does this all the time. when you are about to do something scary this is not so bad. guy kneeling down who jumps every day he was going to jump before me. he looked at me and looked out and looked back at me his eyes as wide as the seat. shook my hand it's all right. i must look horrible. that's when i did our father. when we got to the edge of the plane they opened the door and jedediah was braver than me i will go first. i don't want to go first. it was a mistake to go second because you see your colleague if you jump right before me i saw you go awe and go into that free fall. going second is worse.

it's more scary. brian: took a picture of you is that guy upside down. >> a guy jumps right before you with a go pro-on his helmet. he gets all these amazing shots. here's the scary part. when we were going to get to about 5,000 feet they open the parachutes like all is well but right around that time the guy with the go pro, they were pointing out, hey jedi is over there. >> we will land here. it was all happening way calmer than i thought and then he said there is the guy with the go pro-oh, wait. he is very experienced about his parachute a little windy on saturday solo and fine started landing in someone's backyard and not in the field. i'm up there 5,000 feet severing cool. fine. go pro-took an aversion every stage. ainsley: was it military? ed: not military somebody well trained. i say give me the

certificate i did somebody name pete seeing seth sign up? no we haven't heard of him. can we get him like a participation trophy. no you have to participate. pete, we are coming for you. we have a loft fun on the weekend. ainsley: did your ears hurt. ed: no, but jedediah's did. the first three seconds of jumping out of the plane, complete insan at this, the free fall. it was so crazy. but then after that honestly floating in the air was great. steve: indeed. while. ed: talking about insanity. steve: so busy jumping out of the airplane did you know bob woodward has a big book coming out tomorrow. and what's interesting is he said yesterday that it was -- some of the stuff in the op-ed that was published in the "new york times" was a little too vegas fo vague fors

standards. >> i wouldn't have used it. >> too vague? >> too vague and does not meet the standards of trying to describe specific incidents. specific incidents are the building blocks of journalism, as you welling know. steve: so he wouldn't have used them but the "new york times" did. ed: great point because what struck me about the op-ed was the one section neither end that came out days ago. and you had an anonymous writer quoting an anonymous official i think inside the white house. we don't know if the writer is inside or outside. recently the president at the last minute switched gears on a policy but doesn't say it's about healthcare or tariffs or syria. vow an anonymous person writing an anonymous quote from someone else about an anonymous policy decision that apparently went bad. that's absurd. brian: david brooks from the "new york times" also was critical of his own

newspaper saying, you know, he thought it was ridiculous. but, here's the thing. i think a lot of us don't know who it is. until we find out who it is, we don't know how to characterize. i think the "new york times" is really on the clock. because if this ends up being insignificant player this is one of the many people in this world that don't like president trump, they are going to lose any credibility that's left. ed: editorial edition put out transparents, they are on defense so much pressure from the would be booed wards of the world. steve: he has detail. ed: he has detail. to say bring it around. that's why it's going to be harder this week for the white house to just dismiss bob woodward as they have been trying to do. this is a guy who has over 100 hours of tapes, presumably from people like gary cohn and others who have names attached to them. steve: chris christie said the stuff about me ♪ true. ainsley: profoundly wrong. ed: so has james mattis and general kelly. brian: you do this for a

living. we understand it they talk to people who are unnamed about people in a meeting. >meeting. ed: right. brines brian he didn't sit down with mattis and kelly. >> we don't know that for sure. brian: this marine general is flat out lying. ed: general kelly put out a statement do back to this. this is bs. he also added in that statement the president and i had candid conversations a lot of the statements had little lines in there suggested some of this may be true. yes, big picture, they were shooting it down. bob woodward's technique is to go to the lower middle level officials that might have heard about it. reconstruction like you said historical novel. he is somebody who has been doing this for a long time. my points is compared to anonymous op-ed and compared to omarosa this is somebody with credibility. brian: absolutely. still willing to find out if casey death bed snuck in hospital. insignificant has nothing to do with donald trump. ainsley: folks in that area north carolina, south

carolina, watching this storm and wondering where it's going to hit. janice dean has more on that. steve: major storm. janice: category 2. we are expecting intensive rapid intensification over the next 12 to it 4 hours. expecting this to become a marriage hurricane category 4. all the computer models are in good agreement making landfall south carolina, virginia needs to watch this as well. but just to show you what good agreement we have over the next say four days, all of the reliable forecast models are saying it looks like a bulls eye north carolina. the exact timing, how strong it's going to be and the impacts are still yet to be determined. what i can tell you is the water is very warm here. we don't have a lot of shear in the you were levels of the atmosphere to tear the storm apart. we are anticipating a category 4. category 5 not out of the question as we go through time making landfall. both agree north carolina is the bulls eye.

feel widespread effects from. this not only hurricane force winds along the coast and storm surge, but we could cece epic rainfall totals, in some cases perhaps two feet of rain. this area is saturated from driveway d.a.s and weeks of rain. that's going to stretch toward the northeast. widespread. we have hurricane olivia. hawaii is going to see the impacts of olivia over the next couple of days. certainly could see 6 to 12 inches of rain on top of what they saw from the last hurricane 40 inches. >> we are in t peak tropical, florence, both in the atlantic and pacific but florence is the one we are watching for maximum impact. category 4. possibly a 5. and then making landfall thursday, friday. we will keep you up to date. back to you steve, ainsley, brian. ainsley: people are buying generators and lots of water

which americans greeted and ascend dance and presidency of donald trump were partly rooted in the idea that it was all together new but isn't: >> when trump became president he hung andrew jackson's portrait back in the oval office. that idea which traces back to the founding which is essentially if the elites get too much of a head. if they have too much the way they want them, sometimes the revolt happens and pulls them down. brian: jackson was not the incrowd with virginia and watson. he was a back woodsman born poor wasn't supposed to do. this other people you point out. how did teddy roosevelt become a populist. >> he went crazy which is interesting. you know he served as president for a term and two thirds and then he left the presidency to his successor william howard taft and goes off and kills a thousand water buffalo in africa. while is he over there, he decides that he shouldn't really have left the presidency.

he should have run for a third term and comes back and raises all kinds of holly hell with taft and blows up the republican party and does all kinds of crazy stuff. brian: two people from modern america, pat buchanon came out of nowhere a speech writer and deep thinker and ross perot. >> and trump ran in ross perot's party in 2,000 reform party for president. my joke with pat buchanon the election results came in 1992. they came to be 20 years after you needed them. brian: absolutely right. so many similarities. look out donald trump the worse is yet to come in terms backlash. i'm going to be with you thursday, hunting down, come down 7:00. you will be signing and talking. >> i will let you talk more. brian: congratulations. the book is called every man a king. chris, great job. >> thank you. brian: last man standing is coming back to tv real soon. now the stars of the show are thanking the people responsible. they are called out fans. we asked carley shimkus to walk out and she has agreed. >> wow.

steve: 7:00 here in new york city. we start this hour with extreme weather. final preparations are underway along the east coast as hurricane florence is now a category 2 and, perhaps, building. brian: people filling sandbags, preparing for the worse, ahead of what could be a fierce storm, likely striking later this week. ainsley: virginia, north carolina and south carolina are all declaring states of emergency. this comes as the u.s. navy is ordering their warships and their sub marines to leave the virginia today. steve: looks like it's going to become a marriage hurricane tonight and within the next 24 hours could build to a category 4 as you can see as it is off the coast cone of uncertain if i from the georgia coast right up through carolina and commonwealth of virginia making landfall, perhaps, as a category 3. this is the big storm, got to worry about the surge, the wind, the flooding and there are dangerous rip current that they are

talking about throughout the eastern seaboard. ainsley: we are used to you it down in the carolinas. i was home this weekend. and watching the local news to see where it's going to hit. my sister is home from charleston. they watched the weather. so much during this hurricane seasonal because they are used to you getting these types of storms. and generators are sold out in north carolina. i was watching one of the local niewforts say that and everyone is out there buying water to stock up this time of year. brian: right, meanwhile two minutes after the top of the hour. on wednesday afternoon an anonymous column came out. the author was evidently a senior trump official working in the white house. essentially says they are working against the president because they think is he dangerous. after that all hell has broken lose president's critics said i told you. so the president's team is rallying around who is it amongst us? it isn't vice president mike pence, at least that's what he says and i believe him. >> yeah, i think the president's concern is that

this individual may have responsibilities in the area of national security. and if they have now published an anonymous editorial that says that they are misrepresenting themselves, that they are essentially living a lie within this administration, and trying to frustrate and subvert the agenda the president was elected to advance, that's an important issue. it's not just deceitful but it's really an assault on our democracy and that person should do the honorable thing, step forward and resign. steve: there have you got the vice president talking about the fact that the president of the united states has suggested at the conclusion of last week that the department of justice get involved because there could be something criminal involved. it's unclear what that might be, what the particular law that was broken. but, what mr. pence did yesterday as well is n. addition to saying i would take a lie detector to prove i wasn't the source of it he also said that it is a lie that he and other cabinet members talked about invoking the 25th amendment where you remove the president of the united states. if he is unfit for office.

he says that conversation is a lie. ainsley: he said it was undemocratic of this person to do this that person took an oath they would support the president and move his policies forward. kellyanne conway was interviewed over the weekend about it. the president doesn't want that person in a meeting discussing sout north korea chia and russia. he should have the freedom to discuss with his national security team. brian: interviewed mike pence, are you set up? because a couple words that were in that column. steve: load star is something that mike pence has used a few times. i would have no way of knowing. i think one thing is pretty clear. in talking to people in and around the white house and seeing them in action. have you one choice. you run for the hills or you get together. you galvanize and you come together in times of strife. i actually believe the white house is coming together in those coming forward and saying it wasn't me. looking at each other and saying let's get stuff done. start locking all the other

distractions out and get this done. steve: i think the woodward book that comes out tomorrow is a big deal. even bob woodward himself said yesterday on one of the shows that this anonymous letter, you know, he wouldn't have published it because it talks generally about things but it gives no details and if it was up to him, he wouldn't do it. karl bernstein, his partner during watergate said there is something craven about the author not coming forward. he would like to seat author come forward, reveal themselves and then tell the whole world how crazy it is. ainsley: i think everyone wants that author to come forward. you are all writing in, you are all flooding our email box. this is from karl, if this aanonymous person is worthy of working four our nation they should have enough self-respect to come forward or they don't deserve in our government. breen. brian: senator graham said this is all because the russia investigation is falling apart. mike said says this what that really does is cause distrust in the

administration. if no one trusts each other then it can't function. anything to bring down trump. steve: cathy on facebook they should have ignored the whole op-ed thing it bears no credibility. what do you think about it? the op-ed, email us at friends@foxnews.com. tweet us, also, we are on facebook. ainsley: and then there is barack obama. steve: oh, yeah. ainsley: he is back. is he on the campaign trail as mid terms are right around the corner. this was him over the weekend in california. >> as i said yesterday, we're in a challenging moment because when you look at the ar ark of american history there has always been a push and pull between those who want to go forward and those who want to look back between those had want to divide and those who are seeking to bring people together between those who promote a politics of hope

and those who exploit politics of fear. it's always tempting for politicians, for their own gain and for people in power to try to see if they can divide people, scapegoat folks. turn them on each other. in two months, we have a chance to restore some sanity in our politics. [cheers and applause] brian: he sanity in politics. in other words, let's go back to the future. i looked at both his speeches that would be great if it was 2007. things he saying about hope and be different. we watched him for 8 years. how did he bring us together? what did he do with the economy? essentially he acquired a economy in crisis, absolutely. and then we gave him a billion dollars to bail us out shovel ready projects to states to continue to pay

state workers there was no shovel ready project. he actually admitted that the gdp almost grew in any quarter. it ended up 1.9%. he extended unemployment. he grew food stamps. the amount of people not working who were eligible to work grew to record highs. he did not hand over a strong economy. the jobs were increasing at the same level, i will give him that. that's what happens when you put a billion dollars in and keep- steve: trillion. brian: keep interest rates at zero percent. ainsley: never get to 3% that will never happen. it did. steve: we heard that from paul krugman of the "new york times." barack obama's historical legacy is that he inherited the government in crisis and he build us back. of course, the legacy of donald trump and the reason he is trying to get republicans reelected to the congress in november is the fact that we are -- the economy is humming. that is his trump card. we had christian whiton a former senior policy advisor

for donald trump and we had peter morsey on "fox & friends" earlier this morning. and they both talked earlier this morning about barack obama may be talking about his record over 8 years. they have looked at it wasn't so great. >> go back and look at the facts the financial crisis occurred in 2008 and stabilized in 2008 and should have been straight up from there. because of obamacare, because of the tax hike, because of the clouds he put over the economy for all 8 years of his presidency saying to business people you didn't build that because the company you created. well, there is a road in fronts of that company paid for by the government. all of that really killed economic growth. >> what mr. obama did was hand out entitlements, he encouraged people not to work. if there is a legacy of mr. obama it's the new leash class of able-bodied men millions of them on some kind of government handout

living off their girlfriends to don't look for a job. mr. trump is creating opportunities economy. the things george bush talked about is he living on. brian: look at his foreign policy. israel was cast aside. iran was appeased in a plan that was even passed didn't get the majority of democrats to vote for it in the senate. iraq was abandoned. regot isis. syria was allowed to fester into killing field where almost 400,000 people died. and even yourselves called you out for lack of action. as well as secretary of defense chuck hagel. ainsley: what about healthcare? steve: one thing president obama did not mention in anaheim is during his 8 years in president 1,000 democratic politicians lost their job. brian: right. ainsley: he left that out?

steve: he forgot. brian: dnc was totally starved because all the money he raised went to his groups and not the dnc. steve: he was more popular than the dnc. brian: the only thing barack obama did has unbelievable charisma and so likeable, he gets himself elected but he didn't help his party. ainsley: he is breaking the code u as a past president you are north supposed to go out and talk negatively about the past administration. i miss those days. when people were polite. brian: president bush was quiet despite the circumstances. steve: both president bushes. what will come november? we will tell you the day after election. 7:11. jillian with breaking news. jillian: get you caught up on fox news alert. several people shot at nightclub in memphis overnight. at least five victims sent to the hospital. police have not said whether a suspect is in custody. back in march a woman was killed after a double shooting at the exact same club. a police officer is charged

( ♪ ) brian: we're talking about the midterm elections and donald trump has just helped us out by tweeting. he said. this. the g.d.p. rate is the at 4.2%. higher unemployment rate for first time in over 100 years. 3.9%. he went on to say if the democrats had won the election in 2016, g.d.p. which was about 1% and going

down would have been minus 4% instead of up. i opened up our beautiful economic engine with regulation and tax cuts. our system was choking and would have been made much worse, still plenty to do. with us right now is scott rasmussen, editor-at-large battle media and publisher there. scott, first off, what the president just said is important for republicans. it's important for republicans to take credit for the economy. why has that been a problem? >> it's been a problem because when they first passed the tax cut late last year, they focused all their energy in saying you are going to see more money in your own paycheck as opposed to saying a lot more money is going to be in your paycheck and your friends and neighbors' paychecks going to be helping the community and economy. they focus so much on the individual, they didn't focus on the bigger picture. and right now republicans are the only ones who believe donald trump's policies are helping the economy. brian: why? >> i think partly because barack obama is trying to take credit for his policies

being the ones that started this off. partly because a lot of people think the politicians don't make much difference anyhow, and, largely because the republicans have not sold the message that the president just tweeted about. that the growing economy and the reduced unemployment is a result of republican policies. brian: these election also be decided really not on republicans and democrats but on independents. >> that's right. brian: what do they think. >> they don't think very much about it all. they think they are happy that their personal finances are getting better. they are happy the economy is growing and their neighbors are being hired. they are not giving -- they don't connect that with what president trump is doing. brian: if you are republican, do you go out and say let me further define what president obama did during his term and what he didn't do. the jobs were about the same when he left but the g.d.p. rate was -- things are growing in terms of wages. >> yeah. first of all, i wouldn't talk about percentages because most people's eyes glaze over. i'm a polster, i love percentages and numbers. most people don't. i would talk about how

strong the economy is and jobs being created. i would find ways to every single time, every republican candidate talks about the economy. they should talk about how do you connect it to the tax cuts and to deregulation. if they can make that connection, there's a chance they could hang onto the house. brian: you can hang not underscore healthcare. >> right. brian: both sides are guilty and both sides have a role to play in this. >> at the moment voters trust republicans more on the economy and trust democrats more on healthcare. these are huge issues. brian: despite the issues obamacare so unhappy with they never ran on it, ever. scott, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. brian: 10 minutes before the bottom of the hour. she once saw nike as is a symbol of strength and sacrifice. slamming the company over kaepernick campaign. here to tell us why they got this one wrong next.

to tell me my husband was never coming home again. steve: your facebook post tells the entire story. you were walking through your life for a very long time like a zonel buy. you didn't know what to do. >> yes. steve: at one point you realized i have got to get out of the house. and you went and dug out a black nike cap and you pulled it down and you started wearing it and it became -- that's the cap right there, right? >> yes. correct, yes. steve: and why -- >> -- that's the one. >> what does that cap symbolize to you? >> you know, it is sweat-stained and i worked really hard. it symbolizes very, very. like i said in my post. it was my family's rise from the ashes of my life being burned to the ground with that knock on the door. i did my best to stay strong

for my children. it was a hard experience. i did what typical family members do when they lose a loved one like that. i isolated a lot and i found myself really inside my head and i decided one day that i was either going to crawl out of my skin or that i needed to get out and move my body. so, i threw that cap on and i walked out my door and i took a run. and that was sort of the start of something that i did on a daily basis just to center myself. so i could be the best mother i could to my children who were grieving as well. >> and you have worn that cap for years. and you still wear that cap. >> i have, i have. >> and then last week, sherri, you heard about nike's collin kaepernick ad. >> yes. steve: you were so incensed at the words they used i'm not just going to have an eye roll here.

i have got to do something. >> that is absolutely right. i probably would have walked away with just annual eye roll had they not chosen the words that they chose to use. i do not know mr. kaepernick. i don't know what experience he has had in this life. but i just believe that those words sacrificing everything in that particular instance just do not apply. there are so many other people out there, so many other athletes out there who really have sacrificed everything. and family members that have sacrificed everything. and i just think that was a really, really unwise decision for nike to make. because i think it offended a large portion of this country. steve: sherri, you wrote in your post what exactly has collin kaepernick sacrificed his multi-million-dollar paycheck? nope, you already gave him one of those. his reputation? no, he has been off and oned over by celebrities and

media like. tim tebow was never called courageous when he knelt. >> yes. steve: those are very powerful words. obviously his -- the word, the sacrifice, that's the one that really sets you off. >> yes. it is. it really is. when my husband was killed, he was making rougherl roughly $40,000 a year. and he sacrificed his life. that comparison is completely unfair, in my estimation. i don't think that the two are equal at all. i just don't believe -- i think that sacrifice is something that you earn, and it comes at a great price. and i just don't believe that that price was paid. in this case. steve: you probably will keep that cap, you will keep that cap. >> yes. > steve: but you will never ever buy anything from nike? >> no, no. i don't believe i will.

i love nike products. i wear them all the time. i'm a tr tri athlete i have drawers full of them. obviously i'm not going to get rid of everything. they made a very large mistake in doing. this and i think they alienated a large portion of society. i can tell you i have many, many friends who are law enforcement survivors and military personnel and a lot of them have had personal losses just like i have. and i speak for all of them when i say they feel the exact same way. this was a slap in the face to military, law enforcement, and their families as far as i'm concerned. steve: we're looking at a picture of you with your husband. sherri graham potter thank you for joining us early on this monday morning to tell your story it? >> is my pleasure. i told my husband i would say hello to all of you because he watches you every morning. steve: thank you very much. >> thanks. steve: 7:30 here in new york city. the huntington for that

right, left and center at this point. you ivan see democratic members of congress left wing liberals out there saying hey, this is no way to express your opinion, come forward, put your authorship on it lots of folks upset with the "new york times" in the media who are saying well, it better be somebody really super senior or else they would not have granted anonymity. i don't know who it is. i know their type and their type is very unimpressive. somebody who doesn't have the courage to come forward and say this is my opinion. this is how i feel. i think in large part because they don't have first-hand knowledge of what they are writing. this is not the president i know as described. this is not the decisionmaker and leader that i'm around every single day. there are those of us who are here because we believe in the president's agenda and we respect the fact that he is executing every day under these circumstances to boot. the accomplishments of this president in the first 20 months would be impressive by any measure but under the

constant assault and attack that we all absorb, they are that much more remarkable. everywhere i go in this country and these are not pro-trump or pro-republican curated audiences, necessarily. everywhere i go people stop me, even people who did not vote for donald trump for president say just keep going, ignore the slights, ignore the insults. look, when it comes to this person too, i said it yesterday, i will do it again. cowards are like criminals, they eventually snuff out themselves because they eventually confess or brag to the wrong personal. and i suspect that's what will happen here as well. but i think the president should do what he does every day. come to work. improve the economy. you can't argue with the jobs the labor, the wage numbers the explosive deregulation that's happening. the growth that's happening as the president tweeted this morning. the unemployment rate is now lower than the g.d.p. we were promised a global recession. we got prosperity. we had 2% anemic growth under the last president trying to take credit.

this president is presiding over 4% and tax cuts 2.0. renegotiating trade deals so they are not unfair and balanced. the labor secretary this morning pointing throughout are 100,000 mining and logging jobs created. those kind of jobs along with construction, manufacturing may not matter to the ubiquitous media anchors and mainstream tv but boy do they matter to the forgotten man and woman? i was so excited this weekend. did you notice? we finally found a democrat who think the economy is doing well under president prest trump, president obama. it's so funny to me his democrats in the party are saying the economy is not doing well. we have to improve the economy. the economy is not doing well. the tax cut hasn't benefited the 7 million americans who got bonuses or raises. the corporate tax break 35 to 21. unleashing the trillions of dollars of wealth and all of a sudden president obama wants credit for the economy

democrats say don't exist. it's funny. brian: play a sound bite video not only campaign appearances because video out. nikki haley had. tells the president to his face and proud to serve this administration. what are your thoughts about that? is that something that gets approved by the white house? were you guys okay with that? >> ambassador haley made a few meant that i know to be true every single day. she is absolutely right when she says this is a president who welcomes. he accepts not expects. dissenting points of view. he has people talking about trade and trafers differing sides of the trade spectrum. he has folks who have differing opinions on the second amendment, on abortion, on the border adjustability tax. whether to do the corporate tax cut from 35% to 15 to 21. he is somebody who takes the counsel of many different advisors and then weighs the different consequences and options.

and knows exactly that he is the only one he and mike pence in this building, the only two people elected to anything. he makes the ultimate decision here. that's what leadership does. leadership doesn't shut the door and just sit there, toss a coin in the air or say this is what i promised on the campaign trail. i must do it absolutely exactly. this is somebody who takes the counsel who feels free and comfortable enough in his job to do that and then makes a decision on his own. brian: so you were okay with that the white house is okay with the editorial? >> i'm telling that you there are parts of the editorial -- i read it once, parts that ring true to me, which is that he also has a cabinet and ambassador haylee in the cabinet of people able to come to him and say, mr. president, have you asked us to execute on this. here is the progress report. this is what we have been able to do and can't do yet here is the vision of the future. by the way often in these cabinet meetings, the press is in the room when many of those reports are happening. they don't want to cover it but the american people can find it online. i'm sure we have it in the

whitehouse.gov if they want to access the president's relationship with his own cabinet and subject matter experts are doing to help the american people. ainsley: kellyanne, you said offer the weekend the president doesn't that person in a meeting where is he discussing china and russia and north korea. you said any president should have the comfort and the freedom to speak with his national security team. you have been with this president sings the beginning, after this anonymous op-ed was written, have your meetings with the president, has it changed because he is always probably wondering who is in this room? who wrote that anonymous op-ed. >> i think under chief of staff john kelly the meetings have gotten tighter and smaller already. and that's for a number of reasons. i do think it's better to have the people who have visibility into the issue as i just said the subject matter experts and a few others in these particular meetings. and, when they need to be expanded, then they -- maybe that's an issue that will be looked into. but, i also just -- i'm not convinced, i have no reason one way or the other, but i'm just not convinced this

is true senior level official or senior white house official. i have no way of knowing one way or the other. but i would imagine the "new york times" could have said senior white house official, they would have. steve: right. >> could be wrong. so i'm not really sure this is somebody who gets his or her information about the president except from cable tv or a few memos that are in the system or a principle coming back from the meeting or relating one or two antidotes. those of us who have the privilege of serving at the highest levels in this white house or this government, take our responsibility seriously. those who don't get out today. because you should be named, blamed, and shamed for not having the courage to come forward. by the way, if the intention in the op-ed was to be patriotic, the person is just pathetic. as i said, they are being slammed right, left, and center. i hope they don't get the hero's welcome asson as they are sucked out and revealed. i hope people see this person for who he or she is, somebody who is not willing to face, you know, the

cross-examination of cable tv if you will. in other words, you feel this way, well, tell us why or be specific. you even see folks anonymously some on the record in the woodward book. i think the main probable in that book is the two-person conversations that are being related without the second person ever being sculpted cons. governor chris christie. mayor rudy giuliani, ivanka trump told me to tell everybody, me, others are part the two of party conversation where we are not asked did you, in fact, say this. some people just want to sit with authors all day long and end up getting free reign. i don't suspect bob woodward himself would have checked the facts. how about a fact checkner some of the publishing offices. probably fourth or fifth book in a row folks aren't checking the facts people checking the quotes attributed to them. steve: he says people from the white house did say that who knows who those people are. they might have an ax to grind. cleanel, thank you from joining us you from the

♪ steve: we are back with extreme weather on this monday morning. powerful winds waves beginning to pound the east coast as hurricane florence is gaining strength

offshore. ainsley: the category 2 storm expected to make landfall later on this week. brian: janice dean is tracking it all. janice, what have we got? janice: rapid intensification over the next 12 to 24 hours. we are waiting for the 8:00 a.m. advisory, once we get that we will give you the latest. you can see the hurricane forecast right now. this is as of 5:00 a.m. 8:00 a.m. is going to come in very quickly. we think this is going to be a category 4. once it makes landfall and then quickly weaken because of the mountains. the mountainous terrains are going to weaken the storm. some of the forecast models are slowing the system down, which could mean catastrophic rainfall for this area. this area has been saturated by rainfall all summer long and the potential for a category 4 to a category 3 storm on top of winds and surge is going to potentially be devastating for this area. the last time a hurricane of this strength, a category 3 hit north carolina was hazel

in 1954. this is anticipated to be stronger than that they have never encountered a hurricane this strong in north carolina's history. this is a big deal. here's the euro model it slows it down as we go through time friday and saturday. and then we're going to see the potential for a foot, maybe 2 feet of rainfall if the storm continues to linger. this is the gfs, again, a very strong hurricane as it makes landfall, thursday, friday and then it stalls. which could be devastating for this area. something we need to track, obviously, north carolina has never seen a storm this strength hit their coast line. that's why it's serious. steve: that is an ominous warning. ainsley: they still talk 'hazel, too. >> this be stronger than hazel. steve: all right. janice, thank you. brian: janice will follow this. wyatt little joins us with how the state is preparing. when does south carolina expecting it to hit?

>> well, good morning and to you all, some time between thursday into friday as janice just mentioned. and now officials here are hoping for the best but preparing for the worse. we are actually here on the state line where both north and south carolina are under state of emergencies. later today at 1:00, the north carolina emergency operations management center will be activated. what that means is they will be able to put the resources in place that they need to respond. the national guard is on stand by, ready to de ploy when they are needed. some of florence is already starting to be felt along the carolina coast, including large as well as. we have even seen some people pack up sandbags and stock up on supplies. that is happening up and down the south and north carolina coast. now, we're about 200 miles inland. and we can expect some heavy rains, downed power lines and very strong winds and

even downed trees here in the charlotte area. now, price gouging law went into effect over the weekend as people stock up on food and gas. officials do not wanted anyone to be taken advantage of why they try to weather this storm. both governor henry mcmaster in south carolina and governor roy cooper in north carolina are asking everyone to take this time to prepare before possible landfall on thursday and into friday. so it's an all hands on deck approach here in both north and south carolina. we will send it back to you all. steve: thank you very much for the live report in south carolina. ainsley: i was on that highway right behind them the one right behind her. steve: get ready. brian: guess gas now it could be out. coming up, talking oyour kids can be hard. questions on parenting through the tough times are pouring in. we ask dr. kevin leman to stick around. he is back. that's the focus of his new book ♪ we know you're not alone

of arizona i do have some guidance for you. number one, don't ask that college-aged student questions. okay? if you want a kid to talk to you, and by the way, on fox.com, foxnews.com i have a op-ed on there about how to know how your kid is really thinking. and this is really sort of simple. honey, could i run something by you? i would love to ask your opinion about something. and that college-aged student who is beginning to break away and is becoming independent and that's good and healthy, will talk your ear off if you ask for their opinion. if ask you them questions, it will put them on the defensive. ainsley: that's good advice. the next one is from diane, i have a 16-year-old boy he has always had a hard time making lasting friendships. should i be worried? >> worry is not going to help you one bit. this is an interesting question because people who are good in the short-term tend to be procrastinators.

they are great at starting things and don't hit the finish line. that's the sign there is a critical eyed parent nearby. hmmm i wonder who that could be? are you a flaw picker. find fault with others? the person who is criticized that kid becomes the critical eyed person themselves. the relationships they start they find a flaw in someone, all of a sudden they are gone, a new relationship. they go through life like that. so watch out for the critical eye. i have often said that praise is destructive with children people say what do you mean praise is destructive with children that sounds great. you want to use vitamin e which is encouragement. ainsley: give me an example. >> well, grades come home five as on the report cashed. you are the most wonderful kid in the whole world here is 12 kisses and $20 i'm calling grandma and aunt martha. no. wow, five as, look likes all that hard work paid off, honey, congratulations, fist bump you save 20.

advisories. the next one at 11. we got one at 5:00 a.m. they have not issued a new advisory. still category 2. we believe it will go through rapid intensification, major hurricane, category 4. 165 brings it to cat-5. not out of the question we'll see a cat-5. this system will be more powerful than any system they experienced in north carolina. we were talking about hurricane hazel, 1954, 140 mile-an-hour stainedded winds. along with surge and hurricane force wind and possibility for the storm to slow down. and that means epic flooding, catastrophic flooding for this area. we have a mountainous regions of the appalachians. that squeezes all the moisture out of the tropical system. we could see rainfall amounts of

12 inches, 24 inches plus in this area. i think this is very conservative in terms of how much rainfall. of course if it stalls, we'll get potential for heavy rain across the mid-atlantic and the northeast. here are the tropical models. i will show you how concise this is, how compact the forecast models are. there is no question we'll have a landfalling hurricane somewhere along the southeast, maybe the borderline of south carolina, north carolina. mid-atlantic will feel it. i want to point out reason why we think the storm will go through rapid incenseification, because water temperatures are like bath water. it is like a sauna here. that is why we'll see the potential of a 3, category 4, maybe even a 5 before it makes landfall. the fact we have mountains will weaken the storm but incredible rainfall unleash something the concerning part of this. you can see the euro and gfs are in good agreement.

major hurricane making landfall sometime between thursday and friday. still waiting for the latest advisory. will tell you, major hurricane in the next six to 12 hours. category 4 by tomorrow morning. a potential historic storm. ainsley: that is scary janice. will hit north carolina maybe, but are you out of the woods if you're in myrtle beach? >> no, no. this is the cone, right? the center of the storm is right here. we still have the potential for a landfalling hurricane south border of south carolina up to the mid-atlantic. the consensus is the send tester storm over north carolina. all these areas are not out of the woods. mid-atlantic, and parts of georgia and florida need to watch. if you have a major hurricane making landfall, something they never seen before. there will be evacuations. listen to the local authorities and pay very close attention. we have time now.

time is running out. steve: janice, while the top line is the wind speed, and you say it could be a category 4, maybe a category 5, historically the always the storm surge or flooding, that is where more people lose their lives. >> absolutely. steve: talking about how it could slow down, it will drop another foot of water. >> that will be the most devastating part of the storm. obviously a major hurricane making landfall will make news. if the storm slows down and unleashes torrents of rainfall that will be the legacy of this system. ainsley: those governors are working hard to get the evacuation order out. >> this is big, a huge deal. steve: jd will keep an eye on it the next 72 hours. brian: let's talk about what is happening occupying most of washington. a lot of people's i imagine picnic tables if they're going outdoors this weekend, the anonymous column came out yesterday afternoon "the new york times." they checked it out. they said this is good enough to

print. we thought a he, might not be, important enough for to us say, with their content was so vital we had to share it with the country. it turns out this person is a senior white house official who believes everybody is working against the president's better motives, they're getting stuff done despite the president being erratic. the different things have come up in the past about overcoming the president's decisions. ainsley: last week the president asked for the doj to investigate this, find out who this anonymous person was because of national security concerns. the vice president was on yesterday with chris wallace on "fox news sunday." listen to this. >> i think the president's concern is this individual may have responsibilities in the area of national security. if they have now published anonymous editorial that says that they are misrepresenting themselves, they're essentially living a lie within this administration, trying to frustrate and subvert the agenda the president was elected to advance, that is an important

issue. not just deceitful, but really an assault on our democracy. that person should dot honable thing, step forward and resign. steve: people on both sides of the aisle say that person should come forward and resign. the people on the right say whether we figure out whether any laws are broken. the people on the left says, be a hero, explain how crazy it is at the white house. by the way we don't know the person works at the white house. there are several thousand people who fit that description. kellyanne conway says she can describe the person easily with one word, coward. >> those of us who have the privilege of serving at the highest levels in this white house or this government we take our responsibility serious. those who don't get out today because you should be named, blamed and shamed for not having the courage to come forward. by the way if the stated intention of the op-ed was to be patriotic the person is just

pathetic. they're being slammed right, left and center. i hope they don't get the hero's welcome as soon as they're fleshed out and revealed. i hope the person, this is somebody not willing to face the cross-examination of cable tv if you will. you feel this way, tell us why, or be specific. cowards are criminals they eventually sort out themselves because they brag to the wrong person. i suspect that will happen here. steve: just never know. bob woodward was on promoting his book that comes out tomorrow and he also says he has a unabout. of people from inside the administration who are going on the record talking about the chaos there. he said, regarding the op-ed writer anonymous person, he wouldn't have done it. he said it is too vague. it needs formore details, because you can't really tell whether or not what the person, gravity of what they're saying, how close they are not source. brian: the editors you assume

have the same details that bob woodward has before he writes anonymous source in this book. i'm assuming "the new york times" says the backlash will be so great if this comes out and it is not a well-known, well-connected person who is involved in these sensitive meetings. if this is a nobody nowhere around the decision-making where it adds up to hearsay, "the new york times" will look terrible, like, for example, we don't know who bob woodward talked to in all the meetings where he said mattis, kelly, others, cohen said the things. ainsley: said that he was an idiot. had a first grade, second grade mentality. they're all denying that. steve: fourth or fifth grade. much better. ainsley: they're all denying. they never said that. chris christie was on one of shows. i was watching it. what woodward wrote about him was profoundly wrong. he never even called me. never picked up the phone to fact check it. steve: the thing about the bob woodward book, he has tape with over 100 people who, you

know, willing to have themselves recorded. keep in mind, we talked about this before the last year-and-a-half, there are a number of people in the administration who work for the administration but are never trumpers. in the beginning of the administration, there was a lot of chaos. reince priebus was there, there was a lot of crazy stuff going on, john kelly came in, fired a lot of people. the feeling inside the white house a number of people who have spoken to bob woodward, go ahead, roll the tape, at the they have got an axe to grind. they will try to blow up donald trump. brian: if you talk to anybody that is ceo, level of success, any coach of success, there is push and pull to get more out of your people. i will force the players to be better. i will force my vice presidents to be more efficient. that is the dynamic at work. that is the way he run his companies. he is running it this way. he brand new to it. why is this? why is that?

why do we have troops in north korea, south korea? that might sound like a crazy thing. he wants people to take a fresh look at everything. just because we done it in the past, should we keep doing it today. he will put it out there, he will put it out there, then leave. never do you think somebody he hired will write an editorial be source of michael wolff book, or omarosa or anybody else. ainsley: the vice president says this is distraction because the economy is booming. president obama is already campaigning now. he was on the campaign trail out in california. he is taking credit for that. steve: just two months to the midterms. 8:11 in new york city and jillian sauce us. we saw the images. what is going on? jillian: breaking news out of france. let's get you caught up with the fox news alert. france airport is on high alert at this hour. the man rams his car through glass doors in one of the busiest airports lyon and ran on

worse. two months, we have a chance to restore some sanity in our politics. [cheers and applause] ainsley: he also, dan, said that the economic boom started on his watch. what was your reaction? >> you know, i was horrified listening to this. let me be clear on this again. i have no issue whatsoever with former presidents speaking out. i know it is not the norm but candidly i wish george bush would have defended himself against barack obama. the amazing hypocrisy of mr. obama, think about it, right? for eight years through this dreadful recovery that nearly every american felt economically in some way in their wallet, what did he do? he blamed george w. bush while he was in office. then he gets out of office, the economy turns around lickket split, he has the gall to take credit for it. absolutely amazing the nerve of

barack obama to do this. he is a free citizen. he can do what he wants. if he thinks he is helping though i sincerely doubt that proposition. remember, barack obama was good for one thing, barack obama. they lost 1000 democrat seat the across the country. brian: he got himself elected twice. he did nothing. dnc left in tatters. great speaker, great charisma, wonderful family, but i think president trump is relishing this fight. >> president obama's comments about the doj, the president trump shouldn't use the doj to go after political opponents was that his shot at comedy? did he see an opening in the comedy field for a few dollars at the laugh factory? that has to be a joke. barack obama administration was knee deep in the quagmire of the "spygate" scandal. i think he should sit this one out, my personal opinion. brian: don't forget what he did with the tea party. >> tea party, irs, doj.

brian: "fast & furious." >> phone records tapping. litany of scandals is three or four pages wrong. steve: the scandal we're talking about right now on all the channels is the russia gate thing. it was last week that george papdopoulus was sentenced to 14 days of grail because he wound up telling the fbi something that was not turn. turns out, it sounds like, here he is talking about a run-in with a cia informant, sounds like taping everything he said, trying to trap him, sounds like a setup. here he is over the weekend. >> he receive unsolicited email from stefen halper, cambridge professor inviting me. he reached out to me, write a paper on your expertise. i joined him about a week later, over drinks at the sophie hotel in london where, all of a sudden he pulls out his phone. everyone has phones when they

meet with me. he places it in front of him, he begins to tell me, george, of course hacking is in the interest of your campaign. of course the russians are helping you. these open-ended questions and of course you're probably involved in it too. that's correct, right? george -- steve: dan, he thought he was going to london, staying at a nice hotel, writing a little paper, getting paid 3,000 bucks but it was all about, it looks like from your point of view a set-up? >> oh, there is no question in my mind. let me be clear on this too. i am begging the liberal media that alleges out there that anybody who brings up the facts surrounding this case is doing some kind of conspiracy theory. i'm literally begging you to to debunk the facts in this case. you can't. ignoring of the papdopoulus setup, that interview is

incredible. we confirmed facts we already know. cia connected spy was probing barack obama's political administration opponents and donald trump. think about that a government spy. these facts are not in dispute. making contact with the political opposition of a significant president and media seems almost entirely uninterested in the details of the story outside of covering it from 30,000 feet. another thing in there, he also talks about other sources that contacted him who have contact with fusion gps and others, notably, sergey milian a source in the dossier. brian: what about misid. >> mind blowing revelation, initially contacted papdopoulus about the russian information on hillary. turns out he may not even been alive. this is reported in "the hill." not my information. dnc is looking for him as part of a lawsuit.

they can't find him, he may be deceased. again i'm not alleging anything conspiritorial. could be entirely natural. could be alive. does anybody find it odd, the guy that started this whole thing, this maltese professor, nobody can find him. brian: he was a world cup executive. when did christopher steele make his name? with fifa. could christopher steele and mifa have a long-term relationship? >> christopher steele has connections with milian and the connections in this go deep. the he may be deceased line, begging the media, go find misif. we want to hear from him. steve: the headline, president may declassify some of the information. we'll have a better idea what happened. dan bongino, thanks for joining us from florida. >> thanks, guys. ainsley: hand it over to jillian with headlines for us. jillian: you remember the woman who ran out of gas on the side
