[laughter] god forgive me. [laughter] >> well, good morning. we begin this fox and friends withlh/kivúrj?8xeçq@pñ news ale. the fury of florence still battering the carolinas this morning, now a tropical depression. but officials are warning, this is true, the worst is still yet to come. ed: at least 11 people have been killed, and many fear the continuous rain and severe flooding will only cause more problems for those living in the area. >> griff jenkins is live in north carolina. >> reporter: good morning.

you mentioned more flooding, more problems, more to come. here in jacksonville inland it is that flooding that is of great concern, because the original assessment damage was different. this new river is flooding. last night around 9:00 the last recording of this river was 19 feet, and it broke the river gauge according to officials. if you look here in the parking lot, the new river is usually 200 plus yards behind me. it is already in the parking lot pizza, and that is you. my cameraman is on the overhang because it continues to rain. the owners, tom sanders and thomas mays, took it upon themselves -- they have power, one of the only restaurants in the entire place that does because they're in the power grid of city hall. the clock, literally not sleeping for days, cooking

pizzas for hundreds if not thousands of customers because they had nowhere else to go, as the floodwaters threaten their business, here is tom sanders saying why he chose to do this. >> well, i'm doing it because it's needed. i mean, there's nothing opened. the storm closed everybody down, and most of the places around here are corporate-owned or something like that where they don't open. as long as the law lets me do it, i do it. >> reporter: now, they are actually in the restaurant now trying to get open. they were up til three a.m. trying to make more dough. the line, hundreds of people speaks to the american spirit. and it's in a town that houses camp lejeune. they were going through everything, but mobility, floodwaters we almost got stuck fortunately. downed power lines, officials

want -- the storm is passed, but officials want to get into recovery mode, but they can't get started because you can't get around. we're going to try and get a little more light and let you just see how unbelievable it is. but a marina on the other side of the river is totally underwater. they've been doing rescues up and down, all along here. some volunteers as well work in the area. it's a fluid situation, and people are getting real tired of the rain. pete: appreciate it. a lot to cover. and now we're going to rick reichmuth who's tracking the slow-moving storm. rick, i'm hearing 2 miles per hour, is that right? >> reporter: now it's up to 8 n2olprdoúñúj@vo0ao1km;n1j8 ) really changed yesterday throughout the day pretty dramatically as a lot of the rivers started to rise. this first video that you're seeing is out of new bern. some of the first images we're getting, you can see with this

aerial flyover incredible amounts of flooding across just we also have -- i think we have video of that -- we still looking at new bern? yeah. there's a boat not where it should be. certainly, coming in with one of the high tide the cycles. and this is video of topsail beach, one of the beach areas that's been pummeled. i think op as the storm was coming in on the left, now you're seeing the damage pictures. so interstate 95, interstate 40 are closed in huge chunks of north carolina because there's water over the interstate for miles and miles. so that flooding is continuing to rise. like that, it spreads out, and wherever you're at that same elevation, you're going to get it. remember yesterday we saw this deep red moisture? that's kind of in the same spot. we have a lot more moisture to come.

thing farther inland now, and we've got rivers that we had expected to see crested at a certain level. so it's a very difficult thing for the hydrologists to forecast that. the center is just to the south of columbia, but the moisture is going to continue to be pulled in. and by the way, continuing to see i have those little wind barbs there, onshore flow. that's one of the problems. all that water that's falling from the sky can't drain out of the state of north carolina or into south carolina. pete: what's the max of the flood event? will it be today? tomorrow? what are we look at? >> reporter: we'll be getting there by tonight and tomorrow. water has to flow down, so it moves up into different spots farther downstream. them stay that way for the better9>zñ?ñ? part of the comin. if you're at these flood levels, actually, most everybody's going to see them go even higher and stay that way for a bit of time.

katie: turning now to your news alert, thousands are still struggling to recover from florence. that didn't stop looters from taking advantage and ransacking this family dollar. at one point they were throwing rocks and glass bottles at media catching them in the act. look at this woman. police in wilmington the, north carolina, were told by management to stand down as it was happening. five people were arrested. in another fox news alert, hong kong under a red alert as a deadly typhoon viciously lashes the china coast. fierce winds forcing parts of a building to collapse and in some places that wind is reaching 160 miles per hour. this coming one day after the storm hammered the philippines, people, mostly miners, are feared trapped after a landslide. and a boogie border dies on cape

cod from a shark attack, bit by what some believe was a great massachusetts beach. this was the second shark attack this summer but the state's first deadly incident in more than 80 years. area beaches are expected to reopen this afternoon. and the weather channel is defending a reporter accused of exaggerating the conditions of florence. >> okay. taking it up here in wilmington, north carolina, right at the intercoastal, and we're in one of these bands. this is about as nasty as it's been. kith kith the reporter -- katie: the reporter barely able to stand as two people casually stroll by in the background. as you can see, the weather channel telling "the washington post" he was trying to keep his footing on the wet grass while the other people were -- pete: sod katie: don't go too hard on this reporter. >> reporter: yeah, okay, i want to defend mike a bit.

i know this guy, been out on a lot of storms with him. he's a really honest, good guy. the weather observations were showing winds sustained at around 50 miles an hour, he was in a different direction. also if you're standing out there for ten hours at a time, you get tired. so he could be just getting himself into a position. those other guys had the wind at their back, he had it coming to him. he's a good guy, and i think we should go easy on him. pete: all right. it is 2018 -- rick, you can stick around. [laughter] oh, okay. there's a big midterm coming up but, ed, as you know, that doesn't stop those who might have their sights on 2020 -- ed: i think we almost had former president barack obama be the canary in a coal mine. he says, hey, guys, it's safe to come out. go after president trump. who's it going to be the,

warren? bernie sanders? wide open field. now you've got joe biden and eric holder saying maybe they're ready to test the waters. >> remember the sticks we have to the president occupant of the white house. -- present occupant of the white house. make no mistake, we are in the struggle of our lives. >> barack and i agreed to remain silent for a while to give this administration a chance to get up and running the first year. god forgive me. [laughter] the president uses the white house as a literal bully pulpit. we are in a fight for america's soul. what has become of us? our children are listening, and our silence is complicity. i don't have --

majority of the american people are with us.bjñ?ñ? ed: so this is human rights campaign fund, their annual dinner. they are both, holder and biden, trying to rally the base of the party. katie: senator cory booker was walk the white carpet and gave a little speech with the microphone. not surprisingly, senator kamala harris who was going back and forth with booker -- pete: it's all an a adiscussion. katie: -- audition. pete: why is he yelling at me? stop yelling at me, but i can't handle that. and i don't even know what eric holder was saying. ed: right. pete: it literally didn't make sense to me. we're talking about roosevelt and social compacts. pretty sure people voted for somebody, and now he's in the oval office. he might do them a little outside the box, a businessman, some call him a bully which we

might bring up in a second. he goes at his opponents as hard as anyone -- xñ?ñ?ñ% sorry we didn't fight back harder. katie: you had joe biden saying god forgive me, but his wife, jill biden, also had something to say about president trump. >> there is nothing that a makes either of us more angry than a bully. there is nothing that's more unfair or unjust than people using their power to try to make other people feel small, to tell them who they are or what they are capable of, to say their identity doesn't belong. there is nothing that makes us want to pick a fight more than that. pete: as her husband famously said, i'm going to take you out back -- katie: he was saying that he wanted to fight president trump

and then kind of walked it back. ed: now he's against bullying. katie: joe biden is not known ed: do you think the president's ever used his twitter account to bully anyone? pete: no be. ed: really? katie: i might disagree with that.

katie: over five dozen women coming to the defense of supreme court nominee judge kavanaugh following a decades-old allegation just now coming to light. 65 women writing, quote: we are ñc kavanaugh for more than 35 years and knew him while he attended high school between 1979-1983. for the entire time we have known brett kavanaugh, he has behaved honorably and treated women with respect. we strongly believe it is important to convey this information to the committee at this time, and here to discuss, carrie sorvino and democratic9 strategist ritchie. this is not the only letter we've seen from women backing kavanaugh, we also have one from the national council of jewish women, 18 women who went to yale

college with him and 84 women from the bush white house believe that he is a man of character. carrie, what is this all about, where is this allegation coming from, and is it truly political? >> yeah. we know very little about the details. it's 35-year-old events, it's anonymous person, but on the other hand, we have all these women who have attested to his integrity the as you have mentioned. mentioned in the allegation saying unequivocally this didn't happen. senator feinstein had this information since july, if she thought it was credible, she would have done something. she had a private meeting with him, she had a hearing, shed had hearing that was closed to cameras, they had questions for the record. now they're treating it just like it's a last minute character smear. that's not respectful to women survivors of sexual violence anywhere, and it certainly

doesn't suggest to me that senator feinstein even thinks this is truly credible. i think she's just using it for political purposes. katie: rochelle, what is your reaction? >> well, it kind of reminds me of what happened with senator mitch mcconnell when it came to president obama nominating merck garland, and senator -- merrick garland. but i find feinstein's actions a little bit more egregious, and the reason why is i feel she used a sexual assault victim to[ that's something regardless of party i simply cannot stand behind. i will say if kavanaugh is guilty of these actions, he should be held responsible because our supreme court justices are supposed to uphold the law and not break it. and to have him walking free if he were a culprit would be the biggest hypocrisy towards justice. katie: i think the key word, it's important to emphasize the word if in your statement.

we have very little -- no evidence outside of an accusation. carrie, you've been watching this nomination. what are we going to see moving forward? is this going to cause a delay in kavanaugh's nomination, or are we going to see senators calling it out as a political instant -- stunt? >> i think we've seen people on both sides of the aisle saying this is pretty thinly sourced. it looks like a last minute effort to delay. chairman grassley has said we're not going to allowxv,lou5&p7@4"x coming out of the blue to delay things.c5ñ?ñ?ñ next week on the floor of the senate they're going to have the vote, and i think he'll be sitting on the court by october. katie: rochelle, final word to you. >> we all know this is about roe v. wade, and i think it's important the understand that the last time that the supreme court overturned itself was with board -- brown v. board of

education. and also the last point is people need to understand if roe v. wade is overturn thed, it will be state lawmakers making the decision when coit ms concern when it comes to women's reproductive rights. katie: okay, thank you so much for coming on to talk about this. all right, paul manafort pleading guilty, but what you may not have seen in the headlines is just how big a role the brother of hillary clinton's campaign manager had in that story. we'll explain that next. and remember all those celebrities who threatened to leave the country in 2016? well, they're still here, and ♪ ♪motorcycle revving

that's missing. pete: it turns out clinton-connected lobbyist tony podesta and two lobbying firms knew all about manafort, and they worked with him anyway. that according to the special counsel indictment which also says podesta and those firms agents. kate kate here to react, michael knowles. thanks for being here. tell us about this buried lead of the podesta group being involved with manafort. >> as you know, being a democrat means never having to say that you're sorry. for months president trump has ared to this investigation as a rigged witch hunt. paul manafort pled guilty to unregistered lobbying for a foreign government six years ago. as you say, tony podesta did precisely the same thing. also in there is former obama white house counsel gregory

widely held perception that this investigation is not an honest undertaking of justice, but dulygzñ?ñ elected president. pete: how does the media continue to peddle the same message that the walls are closing in when it's the exact opposite? they don't have anything here? >> it seems that they have absolutely nothing. jail for 14 days, thank heavens our streets are finally safe. what this is all about is not actually grabbing criminals or finding boris and natasha around the corner in russia collusion. it's about creating an air of collusion, an air of crime before the midterm elections. this timing is very convenient for democrats and really causes people who want this investigation to be about the simple carriage of justice and being finished up in due time, it causes all of us to raise our eyebrows at all of the timing.

the south killing at least 11 and leaving thousands without power and their homes. ed: joining us now with a message of faith and hope, fox news religion father jonathan morris. good morning. >> good morning. ed: i saw a story on nbc i guess it was last night about a group of folks in north carolina that waited out the storm in a church, but there are other people who are watching this saying, gosh, it's so hard right now to watch this. >> yeah. whether it's a hurricane or some our lyes, we get to a -- in our lives, we get to a point where we say, gosh, where is god? and i absolutely understand that. and i think it's because we spend a lot of our lives collecting security blankets, right? we have, get a nice home, we get friends around us. security blankets to make sure that we're going to be okay. and that's not a bad thing either. that's pretty rational. it's what human beings do. but in the arc of our

resistance, we build up that security, but as we get older, right, and especially in old age and sickness or in a situation like this, a hurricane, all of those security blankets get tossed out. and i think it's a time in which we can either become better people and focus on our relationship with god and our purpose for existing, or else we can become bitter and we can just lose all hope. and i've seen it go both ways. pete: how do you stay better as opposed to bitter? katie: yeah. >> if your life is really founded on those security blankets, right? if you believe that fame, money, reputation, all of these things the meaning of your existence, you can't help but get bitter. katie: right after a mother and her baby were killed in the hurricane when a tree fell on their home, fire fight pers firefighters turned to prayer. this was their first instinct after they came to the scene and

this horrific thing happened. it's a horrible thing. so i guess i would just reemphasize the question, how do people keep their faith when it just feels like the whole world is crumbling around them? >> that's a perfect example of what i was trying to explain. look at those firefighters, tough guys who are absolutely helpless in a situation that they're looking at right now. and they're saying, god, please, please give us meaning. and i believe there is meaning. i believe there's life after death. i believe there's salvation, redemption offered to us. and, of course, innocent life like this, a child, we can have great confidence that god, of course, will have mercy and that there is hope, there is life nonprofit organizations have helped out in the aftermath of these hurricanes. harvey was one of them. i'm sure that the folks in north carolina will help as well. >> yeah. and i think that also gives people great hope. so many people say, gosh, so

many people came to my aid. that is also a tapping into god's purpose for situation ises like this. ed: thank you for that message appreciate it. should you need a ticket to bring a baby to a football game?

pete: known about this since july. letter came out from 65 women he has known then. that is not kavanaugh. this feels like political trash. katie: democrats are maybe seems like feinstein had this in the works. they keep repeating aç similar phase. >> in my view the senate judiciary committee should immediately pause the consideration of the kavanaugh nomination. >> i think we need to push a pause button right now, let this play out a little bit. >> judge kavanaugh, i think it is up to you. i think it is up to you if you said at this moment to this chairman and to this committee, stop, pause, hit the pause, button -- peeve peeve all they wanted from the beginning. pete: all they wanted from the beginning. ed: they couldn't stop kavanaugh. now they try to stop him with this. this is anonymous allegation.

battle this month. a lot of your political types in washington worried how it might affect the 2018 midterms. president said in the past i will shut the government down if i don't get funding for the wall. the president last night tweeted this in frustration, only way you can frame it. when will republican leadership learn they are being played like a fiddle by the democrats on border security and building the wall. without borders we don't have a country. with open borders the democrats want, we have nothing but crime. finish the wall. this feels like a president who maybe was going along with the deal not to shutç the government down but in his gut he is saying this is good issue for me. i'm fighting against washington that doesn't want it. katie: wait, wait. they told him last time around. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying we want to get to it, but not right now. the question when it happens. this had the fence act in 2006

this company does in the new england states but i do know that, when something like this happens, the company is really forced to focus on causes and to really, not only deal with prevention of the incident but also have plans in place to work with local and state authorities when something like this happens. you don't want to have an incident you see increase in gas pressure, have to go to the president of the company or leadership of the company before you give warnings out. this information has to be communicated immediately. katie: absolutely. it is so dangerous. pete: ed davis, appreciate your time. >> thank you. ed: when former president barack obama slammed president trump's promise foss are a better economy. >> he will bring all these jobs back. how exactly are you going to do that? what magic wand do you have? ed: those jobs are back.

the donald trump, jr. has a message for the former president. pete: the weather channel reporter probably exaggerated his coverage, may top the list of fake news this week. this is one of many. we have the round up for you on this sunday edition. ♪

♪ katie: from new peter strzok and lisa page texts conspiring to leak anti-trump stories to the "new york times," walking back an article smearing ambassador nikki haley, bias ran rampant this week. ed: here to break it down, some of the biggest media buys

stories with the week, katy freitas. >> good morning. ed: start with strzok and page, former fbi officials, duo who conspired to leak the stories. one text comes out where they talk about a media leak strategy which certainly sounds like they wanted to go after president trump, and thenç we see strzoks lawyers, no, they were trying to stop media leaks. are you buying that? >> no, not particularly and the texts certainly doesn't make you think that that was the intention was to stop leaks. we know that these two obviously had an extremely heavy bias against the president before he was even president as well. this text leads to confirm that unfortunately this continues to deteriorate already fragile relationship and trust we have in the fbi. it doesn't look good. it is this continuous trickle of bias that we're seeing come out in the new text messages. doesn't seem like it will end.

katie: speaking of bias, "new york times" used a headline this week to smear nikki haley over 50,000-dollar curtains that were purchased under the obama administration. they issued a correction. are you buying what they're saying about misleading readers? >> if this isn't click bait, i'm not really sure what is. click bait, is designed to get someone to click on hype every link, especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest. the apartment was leased under qiq%=99ñ the curtains was purchased under the obama administration. the headline distinctly leads to you believe nikki haley spent $50,000 on curtains and this is click bait. ed: original headline, nicky's haley view of new york is priceless which sounds like click bait which is wrong. the new one, state department spent $52,000 on curtains to residents of u.n. envoy.

>> general term. neil: envoy of the obama administration. katie: still not acknowledging where it came from. moving on to this story, weather channel is defending the reporter after his hurricane reporting went viral. video showing him bracing for impact while two men walk pretty casually behind him. you're not too outraged over this story? >> it is silly and embarrassing. if you're being dramatic about something like a hurricane. that is not something worse than you can be dramatic about because it could kill people. it is a little embarrassing. ed: weather channel put out a statement, important to note the two individuals on background are walking on concrete. mike slidell, the reporter is trying to maintain on wet grassç reporting on 1:00 a.m. eastern. is undoubtedly exhausted. rick reichmuth is sying similar. i've been out there in the field, not in those kind of conditions at all, not these conditions, you are tired around different wind gusts here versus

100 feet away. >> right. i am the clumsiest person in the world. watching on anything smooth. if you're on wet grass, he is up really late. whatever of the it's fine. ed: compared to the "new york times" headline and story seems like -- >> minor issue going on there. katie: katy, thank. ed: thanks for breaking it down. katie: fox news alert. looking live at new river in jacksonville, north carolina, with are a troubling situation is unfolding as florence keeps hammering the region. griff jenkins with breaking details up next. ed: first former vice president joe biden he wanted to fight president trump out in the parking lot like a schoolyard fight. now his wife is saying they don't like bullying. >> there is nothing that makes either of us more angry than a bully. happy anniversary dinner, darlin'. can this much love be cleaned by a little bit of dawn ultra?

oh yeah one bottle has the grease cleaning power of three bottles of this other liquid. a drop of dawn and grease is gone. but let's be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance. which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid,

as their spokesperson because apparently, i'm highly likable. see, 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 more affordable. thank you, dennis quaid. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. i'd tell you more, but i only have 30 seconds. so here's a dramatic shot of their tagline so you'll remember it. esurance. it's surprisingly painless.

missions of houses. we saw yesterday the marines contributing seven ton trucks, and that like beer going to see a lot of that today but again guys we're just about one foot from the historical record of this new river as it threatens

this area here and people waiting to get out, and there's no sign of this rain letting up. so as flow is slowly moved inland this is one of those communities about an hour and a half from the coast that is causing some significant problems here, movement obviously restricted by not only the flooding waters but also the wind damage from the debris and the downed power lines. guys? pete: right the worst yet to come. as it all calms down, that's when it gets worse, complacent. pete: rick we were getting forecast yesterday you were suggesting it might rain in the carolinas a couple more days. >> that's not going to change. keep in mind that water is going to continue to rise because it's got to get a runoff to the lower lying areas and into the rivers. you also have stuff that -- that wind that's been there, now the ground is so saturated, doesn't take much for trees to go down, people getting on roads. a lot of the roads are washed away. bridges are washed out so you can't really get on the roads. and interstate 40 and interstate

95, both of those have big chunks of it flooding is going over the highways or the interstate so they're closed down as well. heavy rains still in the exact same area right aren't wilmington right where the storm came on shore over 48 hours ago. almost 72 hours ago it was out here across areas like moorehide and the southern side of hatteras. a big chunk of the state has had over 20 inches of rain almost across the board with isolated spots over 30 inches. probably get into that 40-inch range. the center of the storm kind of around the augusta area headed maybe in towards shore likely will pull up towards the northwest, not before a break continuing to bring moisture near the coast. today raleigh, charlotte and i think a little bit later we'll see a lot of that cross the appalachians and that causes rapid flooding, talking about potential mud slides there. katie: thank you, rick, so much. turning to your headlines.

game without head coach urban meyer, number 4 ohio state beat the horned frogs 40-28. pete: apparently the florida gators won a game. pete: this week we'll remind them that it's a bounce back. pete: 2018, people looking ahead to 2020. you've got a extreme of democratic candidates. a wide open field. they don't know who their lead is, number 1. number 2, i also think an important point is the lack of respect that all of these pro speculative candidates and others andrew the democrat party have for president trump. john brennan will not call him president trump. he says "i call him, mr. president. he's not my president." this is a former c.i.a. director who's supposed to be nonpartisan nonpartisan. listen to how eric holder -- we've got joe biden as well, the former vice president. listen how eric holder describes president trump. watch. >> on november the 6th we have an opportunity to send a message

to the present occupant of the white house: we will not allow for the dismantling of the social compact by roosevelt and other presidents between we, the people and our government. make no mistake. we are in the struggle of our lives. >> barack and i agreed to remain silent for a while to give this administration a chance to get up and running the first year. god forgive me. the president uses the white house as a literal, literal bully pulpit, callously, callous callously exerting his power over those who have little or none. >> we are in a fight for america america's soul. what has become of us? our children are listening. and our silence is complicity. >> i don't have to ever now say i have confidence. the vast majority of the american people are with us. >> and you would eric holder

saying i am the present occupant of the white house. he won't even say his name. why? pete: they are unhinged. as the fight for america's soul is what -- i'll call him the former vice president, he was elected; so he deserved that title. that's exactly why trump was elected. i suffered through eight years of president barack obama who said he wanted to fundamentally transform america. for me, i thought america was in dire straits. i want to do everything i could to change that. but it doesn't mean you don't call him president, doesn't mean you disrespect him, doesn't mean you call his supports ignorant and racist and xenophobic and sexist and all the things they claim. they are going all-in on identity politics and the chief identity of those identity politics is donald trump, the president. katie: the issue that unites all the people who are speaking at this event, you have corey booker there as well, kamala harris was there, it doesn't seem like they're running on issues. hatred that keeps them together. >> the recipient of that, of course, is the president,

members of his family. and when you talk policy a lot of times you have people like former president barack obama -- katie: taking credit for it. >> -- taking credit for what's going on now and also remember what he said in 2016, he said what does donald trump think, he's got some sort of magic ward not going to bring back these manufacturing jobs. donald trump jr., one of those folks who takes in some of these attacks, he's firing back. >> the biggest joke i've seen in the last two years is obama claiming -- trying to claim this economy because his policies of overtaxation, oppressive regulation, guess what? that didn't do anything. that drove this country into the ground. there's a reason that on november 9, 2016, all of those matrices shot up like a rocket and it's because, employers, people realize you've got somebody that's going to fight for you. obama said you need a magic wand

to make that happen. abra can a dad dab are a, obama, we did it. katie: the president's policies have been successful with the economy because he took off all those regulations that the obama administration unnecessarily put on. allowing job creators to do exactly what that is: creating jobs when the government was breathing down their neck with all the regulations. that is the magic wand. pete: that is the abra can a dad are a, the free hand of the free market. it's free people with their businesses making decisions that they're incentivized by by making a profit. that is is abracadabra to democrats. katie: they don't realize it was actually pretty good. >> the resist movement says everything's awful, barack obama comes out and says the economy is pretty good, i get the credit for it. pete: and i'm still stuck on eric holder. i have no idea what he said and i got confused 'cause joe biden was yelling at me. he talked about the dismantling of the social compact.

you know what? when my intelligence agencies are surveilling a candidate for president and they cover it up and they use the fake news media to distribute it, how about breaking down my social contract contract? i feel like i was lied to, a system that was rigged. >> the former attorney general, chief law enforcement officer, talk about what you said. katie: the public institutions in america and washington, d.c, do not have the trust of the american people and that is because the obama administration repeatedly use government agencies as political weapons against their enemies. we saw it throughout the government, the e.p.a., i.r.s., all of it. pete: really rich coming from eric holder. it's going to be a race to the bottom for trump hate, a race to the bottom -- >> this much hate this early, think about what it's going to be in 2019 and 2.20 katie: the debates are going to have to outhate each other. ed: speaking of debate, socialist cynthia nixon making a run in new york, the far left candidate leading a race for the democrats in florida. are the democrats going too far?

strategist for both bill and hillary clinton's election campaign. good morning, mark. >> good morning. ed: what do you think about this tilt to the left. you hear conservatives saying by 2020 the democratic is just going to be race even further left. from inside the democrat party, do you buy that? do you think it is a problem. trump:. >> i think right now there are four kinds of democrats. there's socialists, there's those on the left, there's progressives, and there's moderates, right? and you don't hear a lot about moderate candidates. so the party's being driven farther to the left because activism, i think particularly driven by being against trump i think is pushing the party to the left, and it's always a concern. remember, it wasn't too long ago that there were some 48, 49- 49-state wipeouts for the democrat party with which it was perceived as too far to the left left. that's why it's important to keep it in the center. katie: is this a strategy or is this just a splintering of the party? because there are plenty of young people who think socialism is better than capitalism, plenty of young people who

support people like colin kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem, you have andrew cuomo saying america was never great. is this a strategy or is this just trying to figure out where the democrat party is going? >> i think all four flavors of democrats are pretty well united against trump and they're behind the party. i think they're more united right now, you know, than the republican party is on its leadership and its direction. so i don't think you're seeing a real splintering here and you're seeing an increased enthusiasm and turnout in the democratic party. so the party's healthier than it looks for the moment. pete: forgive me for feeling like you're splitting hairs a little bit. you said the democrats, the left and the socialists were three different groups. sounds like the same group to me and if you've got a big bulk of your party dragging it left, you pretty quickly get out of touch with average voters. that's got to be a real fear for you. >> well, that certainly is and every time, you know, even when you go back to when i worked for president clinton bringing them back to the center was critical to really getting a majority,

but i don't see anybody trying to get across the line in the center. the republicans have moved too far to the right. the democrats have moved too far to the left. look. this election with cuomo and nixon really showed, hey, she got about a third, she was a very well known candidate, she ran an aggressive campaign. cuomo, who used to be a moderate kind of now bills himself as a progressive, and i think there was a big distinction between the two of them. and even in new york he beat her decisively. and i think that says something very good about the broad voter base of the democratic party wanting to be more moderate. pete: got a little bit of power of incumbancy there as well. we'll see that test at the national level. joe biden been a little bit moderatish going against some hard charging leftists. ed: mark, appreciate you coming in. her daughter was murdered by ms-13, such a tragic store, and she made it her vision to fight against a violent gang. well, another tragedy two years

message clear. >> these are kids, you know, kids killing kids. that shouldn't be tolerated at all. these individuals are ruthless. i just hope and pray one day that this stops. how many more kids need to die in order to make a change? pete: congress peter king represents new york's second district include long island. he was on his way to the memorial when rodriguez was killed and joins us now with more. congressman, thanks for being here. such a tough topic. you've gotten to know evelyn. she's been on this program. talk to us about her first. >> she's truly an outstanding woman. her daughter -- actually when she was killed it was with baseball bats and machetes, horrific as you can imagine. evelyn never felt sorry for herself 37 she fought the. she did everything she possibly could to alert the state and the nation to ms-13, how evil it is. she was just a tremendous

crusader. and i never heard her once complain. never felt sorry for herself. she never made anything a political issue. she was absolutely committed to destroying ms-13, whatever had to be done. she appeared with president trump several times. she would work with the democratic district attorney. i mean, she was absolutely and hit the in a bipartisan way to destroy ms-13 so that no other child would ever have happen to them what happened to her daughter, kayla. ed: such an important message and we want to keep the focus on her legacy, congressman, but i think people are also waking up and wanting some answers and you as a lawmaker who's been on the forefront of fighting ms-13 as well, what do you know about what happened and what are you and others trying to do in terms of getting answers? when we hear that there was a dispute and then she gets run over, people are wondering why have there not been any charges filed. >> this is under very serious investigation. the district attorney, tim sheen

sheeny is an outstanding district attorney. the police department under jerry hart, the two of them and their departments are working around the clock on this. there is a video of everything that happened because channel 12 the local cable station was there. and they recorded everything, the whole incident, including evelyn being run over by the vehicle. so the question now, was this done intentionally? was it criminal negligence, whatever? i don't want to go any further than that other than to say that i can assure all your viewers that this is being carefully, carefully analyzed. the police have ruled out ms-13. the question is whether or not the neighbor who drove the car -- i believe the question is whether or not this was intentional, what -- whether or not she should have known what was going to happen. but again, the fact in many -- you have a neighbor tear down the memorial. my understanding is that the memorial was torn down and then put into the trunk of the suv, and that's what precipitated -- evelyn wanted the picture of her daughter back, she wanted it back, and that's when she was run over by the automobile, by

the suv. absolutely horri.le katie: the driver of that vehicle has not been arrested about the homicide squad is investigating the incident. so we'll see how that goes move forward. getting back to evelyn's legacy, can you talk a little bit about how ms-13 has been impacted in long island as a result of local policies and federal government policies to go after them? >> well, one of the main causes of the rise of ms-13 on long island has been the unaccompanied minors. they came across the border in 2014, 2015, a disproportionate number of them were assigned to the community of central islip in brentwood. it was the local authorities that brought this to my attention, it turns out that many of these kids either were ms-13 themselves coming across the border or were sent across the border by ms-13 and the families of violence here to take them in were either ms-13 families or they had relatives back in el salvador who were being threatened by ms-13.

these young people went into the schools and they terrorized the schools. you had areas of the school where other kids couldn't even walk down, and evelyn's mother, she had warned the school several times what was going on. and unfortunately, the school did not take it seriously enough enough. and we saw what happened. but since evelyn got involved, i tell you, there have been 25 murders in 18 months of young, innocent kids, being macheted to death. since then a combination of the district attorney, the police commissioner, president trump, president trump getting involved more assistant u.s. attorneys in there, more of homeland security hsi, i.c.e., all in there, the tied has turned but they're still an evil group, and we have to keep the pressure on continually. not let the boot off their neck. ed: important message, absolutely. go back to, we mentioned at the top that you were on your way to the memorial when this tragedy happened. what did you see? by the time you got there, what was playing out? please tell us. >> when i got there the crime scene had been set up, i got

there, i guess this occurred about 4. i got a call from evelyn's friend about 4:30, quarter to five as i was leaving for the vigil which was supposed to start at 5:45. when i arrived there i spoke to the police. they already had it cordoned off off. i didn't want to to be playing cop. my father was a cop for 40 years i know what they think of politicians at the scene. i talked to cops there on the scene. they had homicide squad, all the vehicles, they had cameras, everything there, they were analyzing it, looking at it. this was a full-court press. what was most eerie about this, though, is, i mean, i knew because, you know, people in the police department told me what happened. but people were arriving for the vigil. and again, it didn't dawn on me, all these people coming down the street. i thought they had heard that evelyn had been killed. instead, they were coming for the vigil. and it's hard to describe, even though the vigil was going to be sad, it was also positive. that was evelyn's message. what happened was tragic but we're standing together. so people coming actually in an

upbeat mood, people coming with musical instruments, and he had no idea that she was dead. katie: just want to reconfirm real quickly. you said that local authorities have ruled out ms-13 in the case case? >> yes, they have. yes. the police department has said it is not ms.13 pete: it's either -- there was an argument, it was either intentional or hasty and un unintentional and that's what they're trying to figure out, more or less. katie: awful situation. horrible. >> and again no matter what though there was no excuse for tearing down the memorial. ed: absolutely. we have to find out why they wanted to tear it down. we should be honoring the entire family. thank you, congressman king. more

thank you for joins us this morning. we've been playing some clips of liberals, folks that might want to run for president in 2020. of course they unite in taking on the republican current occupant of the white house, as they say, the president of the united states, donald trump. well, turns out it's not just democrats. it's, of course, also republicans wanting to go after this president. here's bill kristol on another network talk about plans to take him out. >> he said we are thinking of and doing preliminary work to prepare for a primary run against the president. people aren't going to say they will run against trump unless they have the infrastructure, but i've been trying to persuade people that it may not be that difficult. it seems to me, governor, president's in a pretty strong position, especially with the way the economy is and the possibility of the mueller probe winding down. how do you see it? >> well, i think you're exactly right. i can't imagine why people would want to go back to higher taxes and overregulated market that sent our jobs overseas to a lack of attention on the borders, to a place where we were bowing

down to foreign leaders. i think things have gone pretty well the past year and a half. and i cannot imagine that people think that a return to the previous time was good. but look. bill kristol has marginalized himself. he used to be fairly respected. he's now become something like a dog howling at the moon. he tried to stop donald trump in the election in 2016. he backed a candidate who got all of 0.53 percent of the vote in the national election. i think that tells you everything you need to know about bill kristol's influence and the attempt to derail the duly elected president, donald trump. katie: governor huckabee, faith is always a big issue in these issues, presidential and midterm midterm. how will faith impact the upcoming elections here in 50- 50-plus states? >> well, faith voters really do make a huge difference. in fact, they were the reason that president trump is president. there was a record turnout of faith voters and a record support for this president.

and i think they have been more than overwhelmingly pleased, not necessarily with his language, not necessarily with his style, but with the results. and ultimately that's what matters. i'm honorary chairman of a group called "my faith votes." our job is to try to get people to pray, think, and vote. and the real goal is just to inform people that they need to register. if something like 85 million faith voters in this country were to sit home in the midterms it's disastrous. so that's why we're asking people to go to their text and text 40649. just text the word "quote" to 40 40649. we'll give 'em information on how to vote, where to register and make sure they don't sit home. ed: serious issues ahead for sure. normally when i want to get a joke, something funny on twitter i'll go to your account. but i got to tell you, marco rubio, governor, is giving you a run for your money because here's what he's tweeting about john kerry. says, "hopeful iran hires john

kerry to be their lead negotiator, because he is certain to negotiate a bad deal for whichever side he's on." what say you? >> i gotta hand it to him, that was brilliant. you know, john kerry's the only guy i know that wants to bring back the edsel, myspace, and other failed enterprises. and this is why john kerry really is a joke. but the sad thing is what he's doing is not funny. what he's doing, i believe, is both a violation of the logan act under which, by the way, nobody's ever been successfully prosecuted and only two people charged, but i think he makes the case for actually getting convicted of it. the second is the foreign agent registration act or fara. i think he's violating both. more than that he's violating a sense of just protocol. you know, to continue to negotiate secretly with a foreign government, the largest terrorist sponsor in the world is just bewildering. and i think mike pompeo was

smart to call him out on it. and john kerry owes this country a big apology. pete: absolutely. i don't know if he's trying to protect his legacy or if he really thinks the deal's a good one, but he's undermining a sitting president as a former secretary of state. we can joke about it and like you said rubio did a great job, but -- katie: puts u.s. national security at risk in the process. >> let me point out one thing. i think the big difference is that when democrats win an election, they use their offices and they roll over the law. they just go ahead and do things like obama did with dhaka when he said seven times publicly he couldn't do it, then he went ahead and did it anyway. ed: he did it by fiat anyway, governor. right. >> here's the difference. every time republicans win a national election, the democrats fail to recognize it. they didn't in 2000 when george w. bush .an katie: very true. >> and they're not doing it in 2016. that's a big failure. ed: thanks, the boxer, for condominium. >> good to talk to you g.ys katie: up next, a notorious islamist preacher who recruited for isis and orchestrated over

15 terror plots is now said to be released early from prison in the u.k. ed: what? pete: oh, my goodness. ed: and jim carrey still defending socialism. how he's now getting called out for it though. >> you have to say "yes" to socialism, to the word and everything. we have to stop apologizing. fro. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist relieves your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. it helps block six key inflammatory substances. most pills block one. flonase sensimist.

we have to stop apologizing. ed: now the actor is getting called out, by, yes, a venezuela venezuelan journalist. he writes in a column "in venezuela, dear jim, from what i have told you there was no, he can witable distribution of wealth. wealth is concentrated as rarely before in our history in very few hands." and that hasn't really worked out, katie? katie: well, a notorious london- london-based islamic imam who was sentenced to prison after he was found to have recruited for isis has reportedly been linked to over 15 terror plots is about to be released from prison early early. pete: okay. angemkordiri convicted by a u.k. court back in 2016 just two years expected to be set free next month. he served about half of his sentence and is still considered committed to his islamist cause and a serious threat. so why is he being released into the public? katie: dr. zudijasser has dedicated his entire career to reforming radical islamists. he joins us now to weigh in.

zudi, your reaction to this news news? >> i'm horrified, katie. this is a guy who after 9/11 ran a group that celebrated 9/11, he's radicalized over a hundred muslims in britain, including folks connected to the 7-7 blooming, the london bridge bombing, the -- on and on as far as what he said. now, and also calling for war, calling for establishment of the caliphate and especially i've debated him on this network, on other networks, where he has basically said muslims like me are apostates, and that is code for that we should be killed. so here's a guy who, because of britain's laws, they let people out at half the sentence so he's being let out early because of their weak laws, if you will, and it's a clinic for the west to see "you know what? why haven't we declared war on these groups? why haven't we had a formal declaration of war so that these people" -- i mean, in the united states even though our speech laws are freer where in the united kingdom they're actually putting to jail people like tommy robinson and people who

are questioning islam, questioning ideology, in the united states we actually took t tarikmahenna put him in jail for 17 years and the notorious new york times said he was put in jail inappropriately for thought crimes. we have a smarter system. this guy was declaring war on the united states -- pete: he's sending people to go fight with isis and conduct terror attacks, he gets six years web serves half of it. what does it tell you about how fundamentally unserious our counter-islamist policies are in the west and specifically in the u.k.? >> there are no counter- counter-islamists. they're looking at it like a crime. they're looking at it as if he did very little. and it's surrender basically, and it's a lack of insight, pete into exactly what it is we're fighting: a global ideology that includes the radicalization by governments like iran, assad's syria. isis. isis might be on the verge of decimation, but globally jihad is stronger than it's ever about about. why? because the west, the u.k.,

canada, all these weaker governments have no strategy. we have no approach for advancing western values. and what we're doing is actually telling folks like him to come out, get on the british welfare dole, do his welfare jihad, make money and then go back to declaring the caliphate. actually just so you know when he was in prison they were really worried about how much he was going to radicalize muslims in prison and yet did nothing about it. katie: he is still deemed a serious danger to the community, to the outside community and the bottom line here is that lives are at risk. so dr. zafar, we thank you for coming in to talk about this. as the west commits cultural suicide islamists get coherent in their approach. part of striking a deal with the special counsel's team. some say the white house should be alarmed. we're going to ask corey lewandowski who ran the president's campaign last hour. katie: fox news set to host a town hall with both arizona senate candidates in their neck-and-neck race.

republicans. so we were going to hear from everybody tonight. and our stakeholders are really interesting too. we've got a rancher who talks about the lawbreaking that he sees across the border all the time going across his property, which is dangerous for his long-term ranch down there. we're going to talk with a head of the border patrol union here, 4500 members, border patrol agents and others, and he says that there are some definite things that will be helped out by the wall. he's going to talk about that. and then we have a dhaka recipient who is one of our stakeholders on the panel, worked for bernie sanders and the democrat in the race here in arizona, kyrsten sinema. so some really interesting people. and of course that element that you cannot predict, that live audience. i sat down yesterday with each of the candidates, long forum, and we are going to show our audience the first time since they were primaried an exclusive sit-down with each of them what their plans are. are they going to help the president or not? we'll talk about.it pete: and both coming at it from

different angles. martha mcsally wasn't necessarily the first trump supporter. kyrsten sinema has tried to cozy up. do you think president trump will be front and center in this debate tonight? >> you know what, i love that question because i do. i think that not just because he's made news recently with the trade talks with mexico and so on and so forth, but i think he is because people are looking for change. and they haven't seen it. and so they know that they see him as a change agent. even democrats who i've talked with have said, you know, you'll see kyrsten sinema kind of pitch a little bit to the left. when you watch this interview, watch for that tonight. watch for her talking about working with trump and what she would really.do katie: we're really looking forward to it, harris, tonight at eight o'clock eastern, live audience, two interviews with the senate candidates there. we will be tuning in. ed: thanks for getting up early for us. >> thanks great to see you. best of luck. ed: still ahead, corey lewandowski, the reverend franklin graham with an important message about what's

it all took place a dozen years prior to him coming to the campaign for that brief period, so look, paul didn't pay his taxes. paul had foreign bank accounts, paul didn't register as a foreign agent when he was doing work for companies and countries and individuals overseas, and that has nothing to do with donald trump. ed: all true pardon me but i think what alan dershowitz and others were suggesting and they could be wrong and that's why we're having to get all sides here is that yes the crimes are old but does he flip now and say

something about the 2016 campaign say about the trump tower meeting? >> there's nothing to flip on. i was there. i was still the campaign manager during that meeting. we know what took place in that meeting which is nothing. we know that many people wanted to provide dirt on hillary clinton but what we also know was the only campaign that took $5 million and paid a former british spy was the clinton campaign. when is the mueller team going to go and investigate those individuals? when is the fbi going to prosecute andrew mccabe for lying under oath? paul manafort broke the law for crimes he committed a dozen of years ago and there was no collusion between the trump campaign and russia and the only campaign in 2016 was the clinton campaign. katie: corey you mentioned the clinton campaign and robert mueller. on friday when manafort entered his plea deal the documentation that the special counsel actually released mentioned tony

pedessa, whose the brother of hillary clinton's campaign manager but that part is being ignored on headlines all about manafort, what is your response? >> you're exactly right, katie. it's also the former once counsel and the obama administration whose part of this but that's not the headlines that the left wants to talk about. they want to go after paul manafort but look at the individuals paul is doing business with. it's the former white house counsel. where is that story when do those individuals get brought into this? they were also looks like acting as foreign agents and forgot or chose not to register. where is the accountability there? look it's more fake news and paul has been held accountable and is going to jail but it has to be fair across-the-board so let's have that fairness happen. pete: corey we've got 30 seconds but the president tweeting yesterday, he's disappointed with republican leadership and

their unwillingness to fund a border wall there's a potential showdown, in october, over the budget. should the president threaten or actually shut the government down if he doesn't get funding for the wall? >> pete this is a hallmark of the campaign. what i don't understand is why republicans or democrats in congress don't want to put a wall up on our southern border so we can protect individuals in our country from bad people coming in. i don't get it this is as simple as it gets. let's build the wall the president has made a commitment to doing this he's going to get it donald if they don't find a way to put the money in place then closing the government to protect u.s. citizens is the right thing to do. pete: corey lewandowski thank you very much. pete: appreciate it . thank you. katie: with devastating flooding for days to come in north korea the need for relief will be crucial. reverend franklin graham is here with what you can do to help. ed: plus are you better off now than you were four years ago?

a new op-ed says that's the most important question for republicans to ask voters maria bartiromo is here to talk about it.

ed: some quick headlines president trump will host pole and's leader in washington tuesday, as well as security in central europe it will be the president's first white house visit and the president also hitting the campaign trail this week ahead of the mid-terms on thursday he's holding what he calls a make america great general rally in las vegas and then on friday the president will be in springfield, missouri as he pushes for republican to unseat claire mccaskill that is a critical senate battle. pete: well are we better off now than we were two years ago? it's a question a new york post op-ed argues is the most important one for the gop to ask

voters if they want to keep congress as the economy sores. katie: sunday morning futures host maria bartiromo joins us to weigh in. so, you read this op-ed what do you have to say? maria: great to see you guys so i think it's the questions people will be thinking about as they go to the polls in november and look at the most important metrics first economic growth. in the first half of 2016 economic growth was averaging 1.9%. today, same timeframe 3.2%. let's look at unemployment unemployment in 2016 was near 5% , 4.9% today, 3.9%. look at household income now at a record high $61,000 and plus, at that time, $60,000. you look at the poverty rate and look at the stock market soaring up 45% since that timeframe. all of these things are so glaringly different and it has everything to do with president trump's policy. when you look at the fact that he rolled back regulations, let's not forget you didn't build that.

pay your pair share. this divisiveness under president obama. president trump rolled back regulations and what did we say? businesses put new money to work pete: but if folks aren't watching you on fox business or us on this channel are they hearing that? maria: they're not hearing that pete and it's really shame physical and incredible to me that the mainstream media refuses to report the actual stories that are most important to the american people not to mention your personal life in terms of the fact that you have more money in your pocket and the fact that you have done so much better given these new policies but also the glaring ignoring of probably the biggest story of our time and that of course is the people at the top of the fbi and the doj who put their finger on the scale and tried to change an election by creating a narrative that donald trump had anything to do with russia and putting him into the russian meddling scandal. it's incredible. ed: you've got a couple guests devon nunes as well as john ratcliffe but i want to stay on the economy for a second because

tomorrow i believe is the 17th anniversary of the stock market reopening after the 9/11 terror attacks. last weekend you were here you got emotional recalling your reporting on 9/11 in lower manhattan but help it came back people were fearful and it's hard to remember now that the economy was ever going to come back that it had been brought to its knees we've come a long long way. maria: we really have ed and when you look back at that time 17 years ago the air was horrible you couldn't breathe it in, it was terrible, but on monday, september 17, 2,001, the chairman of the new york stock exchange forced the reopening of the exchange and we owe him a great debt. there he is on the podium ring ing the opening bell with the fire department police department first responders mayor governor et cetera. i was reporting on the floor of the new york stock exchange. we were so scared we were in shock at what had just occurred but seeing all of those people up there getting the chills right now ringing the bell, showing off that yes, we were down but we were not out,

showing us reminding us that we would rise again. they all came down to the floor of the exchange after that. i interviewed them all and one by one, they offered these heart-felt strong comments that we are here, we have lost so many of our friends and family but we will not be deterred by terrorists and we will rise again and that is the point that i would like to pass on today because that is america. we had incredible and we have incredible law enforcement who continues to keep us safe going back to your point about the border wall that is who we are in terms of america. yes, we will rise again so it was an incredible day and i look forward tomorrow to thinking to tomorrow to thinking about what happened 17 years ago. ed: that's a great message and you've got biggests. maria: we're talking about new information with devon nunes, the chairman of the house intel committee, and john ratcliffe of the house judiciary committee. we know that everybody is asking

president trump to declassify so much. devon nunes is going to break news today because i'm going to ask him are you going to declassify some of those important depositions that you took of bruce ohr, sally yates et cetera. if he declassifies that that's going to show us so much in terms of how they hatch this plan to setup trump. ed: don't miss it. pete: could be coming in that realm. ed: there's a different network on that but i'm glad you're with fox business now. maria: thank you so much. pete: and winning. ed: devastating flooding for days to come in north korea north carolina, he will tell us what you can do to help this morning. pete: plus even paul mccartney is happening on the anti-trump train with his music. ed: what? sir paul? ♪ as moms, we send our kids out into the world, full of hope. and we don't want something like meningitis b getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b

twitter ceo and founder jack dor sey admitted conservative employees at twitter don't feel comfortable speaking up because of the culture in silicon valley listen. >> they do feel silenced by just the general swirl of what they perceive to be the broader percentage of leanings within the company and i don't think that's fair or right. we should make sure that everyone feels safe to express themselves within the company. pete: joining us to react to that general swirl is founder of turning point usa charlie kirk. so talk about an admission a general swirl of what they perceive to be the broader lean ings of the company which is all of my employees are left so conservatives don't feel welcome >> the google one in particular it's astonishing this did not receive more media coverage and if you watch the hour-long kind of apology or reconciliation

speeches these google executives were giving they were almost apollo is gooing to their employees that they didn't do more to stop it. that's almost the impression that i got from these goggle executives is if this is such a horrible thing that happened to the country such a horrible thing that happened to the world we're sorry that we at google did not do more to prevent this from happening and they said we're going to do everything we can to make sure the values that we hold near and dear are expressed forward. what are their values? their values are open borders their values are anti-american nism, anti- capitalism and this is so dangerous because more than 50% of americans get their information from google, facebook, twitter or the big tech companies and if they are able to steer and engineer behavior and political affiliation people are going to be manipulated by the biggest tech companies that happen predominantly liberal. katie: charlie you are a big component of free capitalism, you go back and fourth with socialistic alexandria cortez often types and you got into a little bit of a swat on twitter

when she said you're alt right and you don't seem to understand the concept of fancy magazine shoots that require $3,500 piece s of clothing and she says she doesn't pretend to fight for a living wage and medicare for all and she says get used to me because i'm an ex leapt thrift sloper. your reaction to her response to you? >> well it's interesting she actually does see my tweets which i find to be quite interesting because i've challenged her and i'll reiterate it again to $100,000 to the charity of her choice if she will debate myself for can dice owens for 30 minutes filmed so that's it if you're watching this if you care so much about poor people, $100,000 straight to the community of your choice, straight to the cause that you care about, if you have a 30-minute taped discussion about socialism and the ideas that you profess. why are you so scared alexandria cortez? i could tell you why because she does not want to have dialogue

discussion or disagreement. katie: charlie you have to add in the $3,500 for her suit to wear to the debate if she decided to show up which i don't think she will. exactly. katie: thank you, charlie. she's such a champion. katie: but she's not keeping them or something. thanks. pete: enjoy chicago. katie: still ahead with devastating flooding to come for days the need for relief will be crucial reverend franklin graham tells us what you can do to help next. i tried cold turkey, i tried the patch. they didn't work for me. i didn't think anything was going to work for me until i tried chantix. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. i needed that to quit. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix.

serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i can't tell you how good it feels to have smoking behind me. talk to your doctor about chantix.

pete: welcome back. samaritans purse deploying two response teams to assist with disaster recovery in new bern and wilmington two communities hit hardest by hurricane florence in north carolina. katie: here is reverend franklin graham joining us from their

headquarters in north carolina. reverend tell us what we can do to help. >> thank you for asking there are thousands of people that are going to need help and samaritans purse we already have two teams deployed we're holding back two teams to wait until monday or tuesday to see where the other hard hit areas will be the entire state right now is having a i'm in the western part of the state and it is pouring rain and still pouring rain on the coast so all this water in the mountains has to go somewhere and it's going to go right back down the mountain and the coast so they will have flooding i think for days to come. the samaritans purse, we need volunteers. we already have a thousand signed up but we're going to need more, a lot more and a person wants to be a part of this go to our website samaritan 's purse.org, and you can see where you can be a volunteer maybe you can't go but maybe you can help financially because we will need finances

for people that we're helping need money so we'll do what we can. ed: we want to thank you for that wonderful work you've been doing and also the faith dimension earlier this morning father jonathan morris on earlier. people trying to make sense especially when you saw a mother and daughter die with a tree slamming into their house, and people wonder where is god right now, how do i get answers and at the same time after that tragedy we saw these first responders who are also doing heroic work get together and kneel in prayer to honor that mother and daughter talk about that image and what it means to you. >> first of all, all of us get caught in storms in life and it may be a health stop, it may be a financial storm or our marriage coming apart but we find ourselves from time to time in storms. every one of us our life will come to an end one day. jesus christ was in a storm with his disciples and the disciples thought the boat was going to

sink and jesus was asleep in the back of the boat. they woke him up and said don't you care that we're about to parish and he said oh, you of little faith and the wind and the waves and became calm and i can tell you right now that whatever storm a person is in if you put your faith and trust in jesus christ you don't have to worry because when this life comes to an end we will be in the presence of almighty god if we put our faith and trust in his son. there's storms all the time and i would encourage people right now wherever you are just to put your faith in christ, trust him with your life, trust him with your future and when that day comes we're here no more in the presence of god for eternity. i remember when i was in north vietnam in an elevator that fell , it fell about 10 stories and so we're all kind of shocked and i turned to greta, and i said if thistle estraight or goes down i'm going to go up and

if anybody puts their faith in christ we don't have to worry about where we're going to spend eternity. i'm in the presence of god and i will trust everyone to put their faith and trust in jesus christ. pete: this is personal for you as well if folks want to help out samaritan's purse, volunteers, donations, we thank you for what you're doing we'll follow your work. ed: thank you. thank you. pete: you got it. well remember all the celebrit ies who threaten to leave america because of president trump in 2016? there is a small display of them well they are still here and now a famous canadian wants to join them in america. we'll explain next. we may not kw much about medicine, but we know a lot about drama. we also know that you can avoid drama by getting an annual check-up. so go, know, and take control of your health. it could save your life. cigna. together, all the way.
