if you look at 15,000 people in shelters. more than 1,000 rescues already over the last four days. even 500 folks here in just jacksonville area in shelters alone. coast guard, national guard working around the clock because the big problem is with this rain, steve, with all this water, the river banks are bursting. you've got the new river behind me flooding this street. we're about a block off of it it's really, really bad. the cape fear running all the way from fayetteville and lumber threatening the inlands. that's why governor cooper said we are far from over. tomorrow may be worse than today. listen. >> this storm has never been more dangerous than it is right now for areas from faithville in lumberton, across the san hills and southern piedmont to our mountains. griff: now, the water as you see behind me in jacksonville makes mobility impossible for recovery crews to come in as they continue to do rescues like they did all day yesterday.

truly putting this vote in doubt. steve: here is the headline from "the washington post yesterday afternoon. california professor, writer of confidential brett kavanaugh letter speaks out about her allegation of sexual assault. she apparently contacted, this woman, christine blasty ford contacted "the washington post" back in july when kavanaugh was first named being on the short list it looked like he was going to replace kennedy. then she also contacted the democrat congresswoman from her district anna ishu who sent a letter to dianne feinstein. they knew about it since july. one of the things i saw said that feinstein sat on the letter. i think this is the "the washington post" article. feinstein sat on the article citing requests for privacy for the woman. she wanted people to know that there was this agencies allegation but she did not want her name attached to it. ainsley: feinstein never asked her about it in the hearings and kavanaugh is

unequivocally denying the allegation. she wrote in a letter kavanaugh was with a friend more than 30 years ago. they were stumbling drunk and kavanaugh pinned her on the bed and tried a tack her and take her clothes off. the friends a classmate from georgetown prep school the friend, mr. judge says that is absolutely nuts. he never saw brett kavanaugh act that wait a minute he was a brilliant student he loved sports and not into crazy or illegal. and then 65 women have come forward. they wrote a letter. chuck grassley published this letter and he said 65 women knew brett kavanaugh in high school. and they said, quote: through the more than 35 years we have known him bret has stood out for friendship, character and integrity. brian: break the filibuster simple majority. committee vote and then go to the general senate population and they were supposed to, with collins and murkowski on board were supposed to get the majority and he was supposed to sit on the bench. now you have some republicans coming out like

senator -- can you get it jeff flake saying i need to hear from her first. lindsey graham said that's fine, that's a good good idea. let's hear from her. find out what the truth is let's still have the vote and keep everything on schedule. steve: so it sounds like chuck grass solid trying to arrange for some sort of a call with this particular ms. ford. chuck schumer has said we got to put off the vote. keep in mind, folks, the vote is supposed to happen still on schedule for thursday. but chuck schumer says this. he says to railroad a vote now would be an insult to the women of america and the integrity of the supreme court as well. then have you lindsey graham who said. this if ms. ford wishes to provide information to the committee, i would glassily listen to what she has to say and compare that against all other information we have received about judge kavanaugh. so the big question is, what happens now? will there be a vote on thursday? will she wind up coming and speaking before the

committee? we don't know yet. brian: time something fascinating. out of everything that came out. you had all these hearings. we were covering it live. every network was covering it live. nonstop. six fbi investigations. and then the letter comes forward and then the name comes out all in one day. ainsley: this woman, is a democrat. a professor in california. she didn't want her name out there. and her attorney was saying, you know, it's not going to change the vote. i don't know if you want all of this scrutiny and she decide shy didn't. then it was leaked out and now she is trying to defend herself and now it's why her name is public. steve: we will talk to kellyanne conway about this when she joins us from the white house a little later on. we have the news. ainsley: more headlines. too much pressure in gas pipes explained for deadly firefires. thousands returning to damaged houses over the weekend after mandatory

is coming forward in the "the washington post." what impacts will this have on thursday's vote? let's bring in fox news contributor tammy bruce president of the independent women's voice. >> good morning. ainsley: tough one. one woman saying something that happened 30 years ago. he is vehemently denying it. what are your thoughts on. this look, this is the problem. we can't really address her allegations because we don't know what happened. we don't have the benefit of a real justice system framework of an accuser making the accusation and the accused being able to defend himself or herself. we don't have that what we do know though is this, from the start here, dianne feinstein had an allegation that she says is credible. yet, said and did nothing about it. ainsley: we never heard about it in the hearing. she knew about it then. >> she had introduced with judge kavanaugh. she didn't tell the committee. she didn't tell the fbi. she waited until effectively everything else they had done did not work and so it was like a hail mary pass. confirming and this is my main point.

confirming this is exclusively a political act. it was effectively an attempted political assassination of a character. an attempt to get -- use an experience like this as a cud gel. regardless again of what we can address what she is accusing, they want this to be a trial in public by allegation and gossip. and it really den greats what we have tried to do for generations. which is to be taken seriously. and now we see it just as another tool in a tool chest and for those of us who are survivors of sexual assault, of domestic violence, of violence in general, it really moves this into another arena of being just used and the experiences being used breaks my heard and no one is discussing. clearly used now as a political hatchet to affect

someone. and i think that for all of us, it's heart-breaking. ainsley: we don't know exactly what happened. we are not negating the allegations here. it's just the timing of it that a lot of republicans are questioning now. >> of course. ainsley: topic of conversation at the dinner table with all of my friends. do you hold someone accountable for so long ago. she can't remember all the details. she is now coming forward and the timing of this. what are your thoughts about the timing of it? because we are a few days away from the confirmation. >> that's the one thing we know. that's the facts that we actually do have. are the choices being made. look. i worked on the feinstein campaign in '92. shame on her for doing. this for having us having that conversation. for this woman being in this position. for the work we have done as feminists and activists for 50 years, trying to get women to be taken seriously. to be able to use the system for protection for us to be able to come forward and at the same time to have the accused be able to respond properly, now it's just been

this political sea and i don't think it helps any of us in this process. ainsley: thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: we have more "fox & friends" coming up. ♪ take us downtown, waze. waze integration- seamlessly connecting the world inside... with the world outside...

the man you just saw right there in the image with her suffolk county district attorney and former police commissioner timothy siena. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: shocking. >> this is tragic. heart breaking. evelyn was a true partner to law enforcement. she was a fierce advocate for her community in brent wood and became a national figure. she was able to talk about these issues obviously firsthand and she was very effective. steve: the president told her story many, many times. i wonder if this was ms-13 related. the group that killed her daughter. >> what we can say at this point is this has nothing to do with ms-13. the investigation will be completed. it will be a thorough and complete investigation but we have told the public this has nothing to do with ms-13.

steve: there is a story in the "new york post" evelyn had apparently an argument with a woman who unhappy with the fact that she was trying to unload some property nearby, couldn't sell it felt like the memorial set up to her daughter could be one of the reasons she could not sell the property i know you are not going to get into that right now because you said the investigation is ongoing. the larger picture about what she was advocating was the end of ms-13 violence in your area since she came to the forefront and started to the president and america how has that turned out? >> just to give you a couple points of her effectiveness, the president after the president coming to suffolk county was awarded a half a million dollars grant to combat ms-13. the governor of our state, andrew cuomo awarded several millions of dollars to long island, including suffolk county to invest in gang prevention and intervention programs. she was a fierce advocate.

she was incredibly effective and she was above the fray. she could speak about this from first hand experience. she had that credibility and she was incredibly bright. she took that tragedy of the murder of her daughter and turned it into a positive motivation to affect positive change. steve: that is her legacy and of course you are trying to figure out what happened. from what i understanding there is evidence of what happened. there was a local news crew there on the location. >> that's right. this is an investigation that will hopefully conclude in the -- in a short period of time. we will get all the facts and we will make the right decisions. steve: all right. well, she was a friend of this program, and she was on a number of times. and it is just shocking. tim, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. steve: 6:28 here in new york city now. a circus turns into chaos the moment kids are tossed

police officers their job. it's a higher calling. i think most of us would agree given the danger of the job the public service component to it. it's a job for them. they go to work: they do their jobs every day. i remember doing phone calls and you would be shocked at the bravery of these people. and bravery is every day bravery. they go to work knowing every day it could be their last time. they know that but they don't think about that. they just do it. and that the fact that this young man, 41, i mean, gosh, i'm young. i'm -- well, i don't feel that young. but i'm 43. this young man is two years younger than me. his kids will never ever see him again. and you know, that's why when i see a cop i always just say hey, thanks, it's the right thing to do. brian: hey, dan, does it matter, you kill an officer, death penalty. in this case he died. but, could that be a repellant for this type of cavalier killing of cops that people are getting used to? >> you know, brian, i'm not

sure, and i wish there were an easier answer to that really, nothing bothers me more than coming on the air and not having some kind of well-rehearsed answer. i'm genuinely not sure. the reason is, this when you get in these situations like that and these guys, these criminals are so debraved and so desperate. i'm not sure they are thinking about anything. i don't think there is a penalty severe enough that would stop some of these savages from doing what they do. i really don't. steve: so there is no war on cops. per se. it's just there are some really bad people out there. >> yeah. i remember being a police officer and rolling in those streets. and you would see people who all they had to do was follow one simple commands, yet, they were so desperate to get out of what they were doing, resort to violence often, sadly, i wish that weren't the case but it is. ainsley: is it usually because they have a record. a long rap sheet? >> we didn't have three strikes in new york but sometimes have you three strikes rules. yeah, there is a warrant. warrant for even more

serious crime. and what's bizarre is they really think they are going to get away. ainsley in my experience the chances getting away pretty much slim to none. brian: let's talk politics for a second on a lesser note. i am stunned at the level of angst and anger directed at the president of the united states sitting in office. not only from the former president but from the people who used to work with him. case in point, eric holder. listen. >> this sort of thinking, this make america great mind set is not only flawed, it's rooted in fear and it favors an imagined past over a realistic future. brian: what does that mean? >> >> you are right. unprecedented body of former officials so early in a presidency trying to take down a sitting administration. eric holder, brian, i mean, the nerve on this guy. we are talking about an attorney general who sat in office during the ap phone

records scandal. the fast and furious debacle. a guy who sat in front of congress. brian: the irs. >> the weapon safingts irs to target political enemies. the nerve on this guy to talk about fear. the obama administration, when he was at the department of justice had weaponized fear to go after their political enemies. but to have them all out there at the same time with this seemingly coordinated message going after this president, again, their first amendment, god bless you. speak out if you wish. this is really unprecedented. i don't think we have seen anything like this. brian: don't forget john kerry, too, with his ridiculous international record out there trying to securey the president's international agenda when it comes to the world's number one evil power and that's iran. >> brian, john kerry thing, i can't get over because they used the logan act as a predicate to take down trump's national security advisor and then john kerry goes and advertises that he is doing it on television. is he like yeah, i was out with the iranians having

coffee talking about how to screw over the united states. brian: how to wait out trump. steve: yeah, sure. and then you listen to bob woodward, he has revealed with his book, fear, that he looked for two years for collusion between trump and russians and he could not find it and, lisa page said at the time of the mueller investigation when he was appointed. they didn't have anything. brian: in woodward's book he talks about manafort shocking the president by not telling ahead of time his relations with the ukraine and bannon coming in there and saying you better get ahead of the "new york times" story. when the president sees about your times to ukraine, he is going to hit the roof. you can't say the woodward book is right and say there is collusion. but there are so many suckers out there who still buy. this you have the watergate reporter bob woodward, the left loves. coming out in his book saying hey, guys, i investigated this thing. you have lisa page come out

this week with this new report in the hill. hey, this could have been literally nothing. hey, you think? you think this could have been literally nothing? you think america might want to know that after two years of having the country nearly shut down about the russian invasion? you think we might want to know? i can't believe how many people got suckered by this thing. steve: does sound as if the president could be close to declassifying some of this stuff. we could soon know more. thank you for joining us from palm city down in florida. ainsley: thank you, dan. here is more headlines for you. important russia probe documents will soon be in the hands of american people. devin nunes says is he releasing interview transcripts related to the investigation. >> we believe the depositions we took nearly 70 people. they need to be published and published before the election. >> 73 witnesses interviewed in the investigation. and nunez aims to make most of those transcripts available within the next

flooding in florence. brian: roads and neighborhoods under water in north carolina. steve: janice dean joins us with the forecast. janice, it's still raining. janice: the aerial footage we are getting in from parts of north carolina is breath-taking. we are dealing with historic flooding now. and some of those rivers have not crested yet. and they will crest at historic levels. so the flooding is not over yet, even though the rain is moving northward. let's take a look at the total. so this is north carolina. by the way, north carolina and south carolina breaking state records for the most water ever received from a tropical system from florence. so this is incredible. both north carolina and south carolina have broken records in terms of tropical systems and how wet this was. close to 34 inches for parts of north carolina and wilmington shattering their record of over 85 inches of rainfall in a calendar year. so, it's just incredible the amount of water, again, it was because this system was so slow-moving, very much

like harvey did to southeast texas. there it is right now. a tropical depression. it is weakening. but we are still seeing more rainfall in the forecast. flash flood warnings in parts of south carolina, north carolina, now up to virginia. the storm will pull northward up towards the northeast. but we are not done by any scope. the damage reports continue to come in. we won't know the real epic legacy of this storm until perhaps weeks in, back to you. steve: it is one for the record books. j.d., thank you. ainsley: now there is all this loolgt they are worried about. family dollar, dollar general stores. brian: 18 minutes before the top of the hour. as janice just showed us florence is not done reeking havoc. the government response that is happening next hour. steve: 17 years ago today the stock market reopened for the first time after the september 11th attacks in 2001. the former economic advisor under president obama joins us to reflect on that day

days. this was for four days. i don't know when you recall when it opened largest one day drop 7%, 600 points. and then for the most part, that prolonged the recession and most surreal time and obviously the most devastating time in my lifetime. brian: not only was america hit. it was hit right in the financial center. it's not saying well, out of respect for where the country is going through. no, no. that was the area that was hit. >> i think that they did the right thing closing the market because it would have been a run on the banks. there would have been. there was already panic in the street and country. at the end of the day, they made the right decision. and, you know, a month later, the market rebounded but it really prolonged the whole recession and then it started the war on terror. brian: now let's talk about the market and where it is today up considerably about 20% since that day. >> that day was at 7,000, the dow. so you are talking, you know, analyzed it's been

crazy but it's up three times, you know, 25,000. brian: so 25,000. what does that tell you about our economy? >> the economy is very strong, but i think there are some concerns. because we have never been in an environment rising rate environment, huge debt and deficit a protectionist kind of rhetoric and then more importantly this type of dysfunction in washington. brian: therwashington.there are concerns right now but the market feels really good. brian: why is confidence at such a high? >> it's such a high because the consumer feels good. the markets feel good. the tax cut, obviously was a positive for the consumer. but, we should recall in 2000 and 2001, consumer confidence was the highest it's been since this year. and then we had the.com bubble. consumer confidence in a point in time. rising rate environment or god forbid there is some sort of war, all of a sudden consumer confidence can weakecan wanequickly.

brian: supposed to bring a lot of the money back home. expecting maybe 5 trillion to come back. so far only 141 billion has come back. do you believe when you talk to the corporate, the people no ho make decisions with large corporations are they beginning to understand this is for real, that these corporate tax cuts from 35 to 21 happened? >> i think everyone is concerned about r repatriating money, tax cut went through and tax cut of 2.0. when you have a fiscal deficit that's crepsd up the way it has to possibly 1 trillion by year ends, you could see unwinding of the tax code. easily see tax code 2.0 kind of change, make some of the changes that it needed. the unfortunate thing for corporate america is there is such dysfunction in washington that it's hard to make real decisions about the future. brian: right. so with the 22 trillion-dollar debt

overall. 1 trillion annually, that's a bad combination. >> it's a really bad combination. i think right now fiscal responsibility is being ignored. and, you know, this has nothing to do with a democrat or republican. someone is going to have to pay those bills. brian: simpson bowls had us on track we didn't entertain it or vote on it? >> totally ignored it. brian: 10 minutes before the top of the hour. judge andrew napolitano is coming your way. going to be talking about mr. kavanaugh. kellyanne conway on where the white house goes from here and katie pavlich all here live. constitution day. college students getting a much needed education. a professor behind that effort is next. 231 years old. ♪ only in america ♪ dreaming in red, white, and blue ♪ only in america ♪

some college campuses you can speak freely as long as it is to the political left and not to the political right. >> challenge on college campuses. one of the reasons i wanted to write this book and get out there talking about it emphasize to students and others how important being able to speak up really is and how important to

actually talk to people you disagree with. ainsley: whether a is your goal? do many students actually know about the constitution? what's your goal. >> students don't know as much as they should, most americans don't know as much as they should. students are hungry for knowledge. interested in thinking about issues in general. receptive to hearing more. brian: here is a recent poll that i think you should find somewhat disheartening, 71% can't define the constitution law of the land. some think judge jude sit on the supreme court. and 32% can name all three branches of government while 33% can't name a single one. that's why did you the book. >> it's disturbing. this is not foremost in people's minds. it doesn't matter cannot name all three branches of the federal government. it takes some effort to repatriate into people's thinking and have them pay attention.

brian: how did this come to be and what was happening at the time this was written. >> we need to understand the principles under which the constitution operates and how the constitution looks like. how the government operates and why it looks the way it does. otherwise they will make bad mistakes in trying to advocate for policies and who we vote for and the like. crucial citizens understand. brian: as long as people know what's going on, you can have control of your government. >> constitution only survives if people understand and previous to it. ainsley: people watching that don't know much about the constitution, what are a few things you would like people to know. >> understand the constitution wants to empower the federal government in order to accomplish things for the people also imposes constraints on the government and tries to limit what powers government can exercise to protect the liberty of people. that's a very delicate balance. steve: doctor, thanks for joining us on constitution day. >> thank you, appreciate it. steve: big day for you. ainsley: judge napolitano, kellyanne conway and katie pavlich.

piedmont to our mountains. >> let me explain why that. this is because of the rivers. new river behind me cresting at more than 10 feet yesterday almost breaking a record. cape river which runs threatening a dam there, those watershed areas will flood lumberton and fayetteville as it is now. come back towards the coast. one the survivors near new bern had this to say. take a listen. he was rescued yesterday. >> this morning about 2:45 the water was coming up so fast i have got a 9-year-old and 7-year-old and i just didn't know how fast or how high or anything. so we called for the trenton fire and rescue and they did a great job. >> so as the storm moves inland and floods those areas and the river sheds come back towards the coast. the areas that were hit on the coast are going to get another hit with flooding. this is not over, guys. >> steve: griff jenkins reporting live from north carolina. thank you very much.

civil and criminal, both statutes of limitations have obviously expired. memories fade. her ability to recall details, obviously, will be diminished with the passage of time. but, because we are in this era, the post robert bork, post clarence ear wrath supreme court hearings before the judiciary. brian: and me too. >> yes. and we are in the me too era. i think this, dr. ford, will be asked to testify and judge kavanaugh will be asked to testify and we're going to see another version of the clarence thomas anita hill hearings right before our eyes. sometime in the next few weeks. maybe as soon as thursday. the senate judiciary will interest to is are -- is

this a political hail mary that happened or did it happen as she says it did. does she have a suppressed memory as she says she has until she was in counseling with her husband in 2012. the counseling in 2012 is corroborated by the psychiatrist or psychologist with whom she and her husband were having the counseling. ainsley: psychiatrist wrote in her notes there were four men there present. the woman said there were four people at the party. only two in the room with me. the friend that was in the room. the friend that she says jumped on top of them. he is denying it. judge: this is what happens when events like this are brought to the forefore45 years later. two people saying the same thing at the same time will recall it differently the next day much less 35 years later. steve: according to the "the washington post," this broke this story yesterday afternoon with the name.

this woman, christine blaze ford. contacted them through a tip line and told her story and wanted to come out because kavanaugh had been named to the short list. then she contacted her democratic congresswoman and she sent a letter to dianne feinstein who knew this story back in july. people are going well, why wouldn't she tell people about the story back in july? judge: two arguments here. one this is a democratic party capital d left wing hail mary effort to block an otherwise qualified nominee who the democrats fear will interfere with roe v. wade. the other is senator feinstein did the right thing. she did no reveal the existence of this dr. ford didn't want it revealed. steve: wanted to protect her privacy. >> until something happened the last week or. so a website got ahold of this and revealed it and

then senator feinstein. steve: reporters started knocking on her door. >> senator feinstein decided i have got to show this to senator grassley and other members of the committee. the committee's stamp of approval is not required in order for the kavanaugh nomination to go to the floor. so this senator graham and senator flake, who have expressed a wish to hear more about this before the vote on thursday were to vote against the nominee, because they are undecided over this latest allegation, that would not prevent the full senate from taking. steve: doesn't have to be passed by the committee. >> correct. unlike a lot of legislation that has to have the committee. the nomination to the supreme court does not. brian: we have 51-49. even if it gets out of committee and loses in committee. if jeff flake says no, lisa and senator collins says i'm going to wait to see what's going on here. murkowski is going to wait to see what's going on. lindsey graham and bob

corker is going to wait to see. it looks like they don't have the votes. >> then mitch mic council has to go to democrats in up for election in states that president trump won. the more democrats that start to say no or may be, right, brian, the more difficult that job will be for mitch mcconnell. i also have to say this. judge kavanaugh has had six full fledged fbi investigations. four for his time in the bush white house, for his job and each time he got a higher level of security of clearance. one for the united states court of appeals for the district of columbia circuit on which he sits now. second highest court in the land one for his nomination to the supreme court. this didn't come out at all. i have had two of these. i know how thorough they are. i couldn't believe the stuff they found out about me. so it is hard for me to believe that this thing as

monumental as it sounds never, never was found by the fbi. steve: the accuser said she never told anybody about it. >> i guess she kept it to herself or some -- had some mental block. just didn't want to think about it. ainsley: what happens? how is she able to prove it? it's been so long. is it t. doesn't sound like she went -- >> just like when anita hill made those allegations against judge now justice thomas. this is a classic he said, she said. so she will come before the senate judiciary committee. she will make these allegations, her democrats will throw her softballs, the republican also grill her and cross-examine her. brian: republicans have to be smart about it we are in a different time now, deferential to the accuser always. that makes sense but now more than ever. >> you have to challenge her ability to recall and point at inconsistencies in the story. brian: do you see this also plays into the general election if the republicans come out half handed?

>> i also see this is a vastly different time period with different social more rays than the time anita hill made her allegations against justice thomas. ainsley: 65 women who knew him in high school all penned a letter saying weighs upstanding guy. brian: senator grassley said i'm setting up phone calls. >> i don't think that's going to work, brian. i don't think you can assess the credibility of a person who comes out of the blue with an allegation of this magnitude on the basis of a voice on the phone. steve: chances of a vote on thursday? >> well, i think there is chances of a hearing on thursday and perhaps a vote when the hearing is over. steve: all right. judge, thank you very much. ainsley: thanks, judge. turning to more headlines starting with a fox news alert. a kansas deputy shot and killed in the line of duty, his name is robert kunze. there is his picture. he was gunned down while he was checking on a suspicious person. driving around in a truck. police say gunfire erupted during that fight between kunze and the suspect. both of them died during the struggle. the 12 year department

brian: 12 minutes now after the hour. the holiday elites slamming operate patriotism? >> why do we have to mix football, you know, the season just started with so much this patriotic bull [bleep] the flyovers and flag on the field and the singing? brian: that really bothers me. joey jones lost both his legs while serving our country overseas. he says no on one apologize for being patriotic special at a football game. he joins us ahead. steve: paul manafort special counsel team. there is something you may not have seen in the headlines. katie pavlich is here to explain a democrat connection. >> good to see you. >> good to see you, too. ♪

brian: 17 minutes after the hour. the media under fire after headlines like this after paul manafort agreed to a plea deal. there is one important thing you may have missed. steve: according to the special counsel's indictment, clinton-connected lobbyist tony podesta, brother of john podesta, and two lobbying firms knew all about manafort and worked with him anyway. ainsley: joining us now with more is editor of town hall

and fox news contributor katie pavlich. what do you make of this. katie: all the headlines were about paul manafort's plea deal. fair enough. buried what special counsel released about that deal was information about his ties to the podesta group, which is tony podesta's lobbiying firm. it's been around in washington, d.c. it's a huge deal for democrats. all of the people hospital to be part of high political social society on the left are involved with podesta group. tony podesta, of course, is john podesta's brief. hillary clinton's former campaign chairman. now, why is this important? because, tony podesta's group was found to have maybe violated some farrah violations because special counsel was investigating paul manafort. paul manafort was working with the john podesta group and setting up a series of commitments to ukrainian and pro-russian governments overseas and the question is now whether the podesta group actually violated fara by not telling the special

counsel what they are actually doing. they said it was nonprofit work. in these documents it shows they are actually doing work for the government. the question is whether they will see some fara violations in the future. steve: katie, is the concern about the podesta group the same as it was with ma man 40 ty didn't register as a foreign lobbyist? >> with manafort the special counsel went into all his taxes, nailed on tax fraud and tax evasion. his business dealings. in this case it looks like the special counsel from, what we know so far, is only looking at whether tony podesta and those working for his firm violated fara. this is something that senate judiciary chairman chuck grassley has been pounding on the door of the justice department for years saying there are plenty of lobbying groups in washington, d.c., both left and right, who are violating fara, not registering as foreign actors. when it comes to the special counsel investigation you are going to nail paul manafort for fara and people close to the trump campaign allegedly involved in these

kinds of actions not registering the podesta group had plenty of ties. brian: goal was to you rainyian backed government. the obama administration did nothing about giving ukrainians any weapons. we gave them blankets and towels. >> right. brian: people wonder did that lobbying group have undue influence in the obama administration by their lack of action? >> and lack of enforcement of fara. the interesting thing about the timing here is the day that paul manafort turned himself in to the fbi in october of 2017, tony podesta resigned from podesta group. ever since then, the lobbying firm has essentially collapsed. all the money has dried up. hillary clinton, of course, did not become president. so a lot of the clients went away. the question now is with all this media focus on the special counsel side of the trump campaign, and the 2016 election, there is plenty of dirt to dig up when it comes. steve: little double

standard no doubt. >> we are not hearing about that. i would pay attention to the nuggets that came out in the plea agreement. brian: thank you for filling in this weekend. >> thanks a lot. it was fun. ainsley: more "fox & friends" coming up. brian: i can't wait. ♪ you shouldn't be rushed into booking a hotel. with expedia's add-on advantage,

graham's son organization. steve: americaamerican red cros. ainsley: they are from north carolina. they will definitely be involved in all of this. brian: one of the stories that is going to emerge from this much like houston is people helping people. lot letting government help people because you can't possibly, if your neighbor is not helping or if people who have assets aren't helping others without them, you know, their own cajun army of the region. ainsley: makes you feel guilty watching all these images because we are all americans. we are up here in the comfort of this amazing studio and you look at these images and people are dying. you work so hard to build your house, build your family and we heard that one guy who owns a restaurant down there. he said he has already survived a fire. he said insurance is not going to cover a lot of the damage that happened in his restaurant. griff was talking to him earlier. he said i will have to find a way to rebuild. i have been in this community i think he said for 17 years. i will fight hard to keep my business open. brian: about your insurance policy.

steve: does look like there could be another foot of rain on the way. j.d. is keeping annual eye on that. janice, thank you very much. janice: you got it. steve: let's go down to the white house, kellyanne conway joins us on this mopped. president trump tweeted on saturday may god be with them. how does the federal response to florence look right now? >> well, it continues. because we know that these hurricanes after they wreak their initial devastation, then there is the necessity of providing millions of meals, millions of liters of water. rescue efforts. trying to get people out of their homes if they are still trapped there, obviously. and also as the fema director brock long has noted, the rescue efforts continue for a very long time. we know that the devastation of hurricanes last for weeks, sometimes months. and that there is still flooding. i think the president almost ubiquitous activity on twitter has been incredibly helpful because he has the

most robust considerable media platform probably in the world and for him to be directing folks about resources and about what they should and should not do, even this morning in both spanish and english he weighs directing people about their pets, about evacuations, about the dangers of flooding. so, we know that this takes an awful lot of time beyond the initial devastation and the resources are there. brian: on a political note. huge news yesterday, the anonymous person who was accusing brett kavanaugh in high school of sexual assault has put her name behind the action. she has come forward in a very detailed article in the "the washington post." her name is christine blazly ford professor in the pal at toe area. she said this is what happened with brett kavanaugh then in high school and a friend of his. what do you think this does for his nomination process? what questions do you have? >> this woman should not be insulted and she should not be ignored. i think the senate is headed to a reasonable approach in

that it seems to me in speaking to a few senators, including senator lindsey graham that allowing this woman to be heard in sworn testimony, allowing judge kavanaugh to be heard in sworn testimony about these specific allegations would be added to the very considerable mountain of evidence and considerations that folks will have when they weigh whether or not to vote for judge kavanaugh to be on the supreme court. so, let me make very clear. i have spoken with the president. i have spoken with senator graham and others, this woman will be heard. she is going to, i think the senate judiciary committee will decide how and through which forums. in other words, will it be by telephone? will it be in person? remember, too, that has to be weighed against what we already know, which is that judge kavanaugh is a man of character and integrity who has been through six fbi vettings which can i tell you first hand are significant and thorough.

he also has been lauded by women from every different aspect of his life. and this is significant. this is very significant for a man of character and integrity to be spoken about so highly by women who maybe didn't vote for president trump, maybe don't call themselves republicans, certainly. in fact, many who don't. but women who went to yale with him. women who taught with him at harvard. many female law clerks. the mothers of the young girls that he coaches in basketball here in the washington, d.c. suburb. this is important. the 65 women who knew him in high school. but, let me make very clear again for those who want to slice and dies what'slice and d. this woman should not be ignored and insulted. let's make it very clear. they had no interest in the mountain of evidence about judge kavanaugh's mountain of character and continue telling gri. one female senator talking instead of asking him questions.

another female senator lied about his characterization of a legal casing in abortio abortio. didn't refer to himself as jesus referred to him asself spartacus. they weren't interested in significant record and character and integrity as testified to by many women. also, there are private phone calls that happen with judge, judicial candidates. that happened with judge kavanaugh as well. that would have been the time for senator feinstein to have posed to him a sensitive matter such as. this and it sounds like she failed to do that. brian: you have a problem with the timing. >> this woman asked for anonymity. it sounds like the chain of custody of that request was through the democrats. somebody breached that with her and wants of the media showing up. it's the republicans along with the democrats right now who are at least trying to give her a say in this. ainsley: this has just been

released her attorney is now saying she is willing to testify before the senate judiciary committee. will that happen? >> well, the senate judiciary committee members that i have spoken to say let that happen. but, it should not unduly delay the vote on judge kavanaugh who has given 24 or 32 hours of testimony by him or by others. and also, there were 1300 written questions. this never came up. those private phone calls. the private meetings. judge kavanaugh has met with 65 u.s. senators. we all know there were some who couldn't find the time to do their jobs to advise and consent the president of the united states on his supreme court pick. i started this segment out by saying she should testify under oath. the senate jewish area committee looks like they are headed that way. judge kavanaugh, who has categorically denied these allegations, will also have an opportunity to address them under oath. and let that be part of what everybody considers before they cast a vote. and let's not fool ourselves. remember, folks, that long

before this happened, there were democrats who said they would not vote for judge kavanaugh and they wouldn't vote for anybody that president trump nominated to the supreme court. let's remember that. steve: all right. real quick exit question. you say while she should testify, at the same time, you say they should still vote on thursday. >> the -- well, that's up to the senate judiciary committee. respect the process they put in place. everything else is going on. those calling for a delay in the vote were saying so, number one, absent her testimony, his testimony as to these allegation. these 36-year-old allegations. number two, they were saying that because they are going to vote against him no matter what. brian: brett kavanaugh, has he talked to the president since this came out late yesterday? >> i can't reveal that i have certainly talked with the president and i wanted to reflect his opinion on this because i see a lot -- we see a lot in the written press but also on tv this morning that people have no idea what they are talking about. have no access to the president or hits thinking pretending that they do and trying to put this in the

most negative light possible. so, take what i said, she should not be ignored. she should not be insulted. she should be heard and so should he. weighed in the considerable body of evidence that this man was integrity and judicial qualifications. many people who have, many women in his life right, left and center ideologically have testified and said that. steve: let's see what the senate jewish area committee does. kellyanne, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: straight ahead on this monday, should you need a ticket to bring a baby to a football game? why a life long fan is now throwing the fan at her favorite team. brian: babies love football. and why barbecue could be one day the illegal in texas. steve: say it ain't so. ainsley: babies love barbecue, too brian. brian: i don't know. we have to shred it. ♪ that skills like teamwork, attention to detail, and customer service are critical to business success.

cities and secure the border. brought up the wall, that is part of that. third thing which is important aspect, be clear democrats take over the house, they have a spreadsheet of all different charges they will bring against president trump for impeachment process. make it clear if they want stability. if they don't want the impeachment process to begin against president trump, republicans need to be reelected. it those are the three key components we found. ainsley: do americans feel there is difference between president trump's policies and president obama's policies or president trump's policies and nancy pelosi's policies? >> every democrat running for office right now is doing all they can to make sure that isn't realized. economy was already strong. tax cuts have no impact on the economy. it is pennies. don't matter to you and your family. that is where republicans have to do a good job, particularly competitive districts we found in the 41 districts, republicans have a deficit when it comes to enthusiasm. if they want to get the base

enthused they have to do exactly what you implied. ainsley: how important are the judges for most americans? >> i do believe in the senate, that is a key component to make sure republicans pick up seats. you can go up there looking north dakota, montana, missouris, indiana, places where republicans are having competitive races. in evidence and arizona, that is big motivator for republican voters. >> chris wilson. thanks for joining us. >> you're welcome. ainsley: fox news alert. a kansas sheriff's depthty was killed in the line of duty. our next guest is a former police officer who says enough isli enough. self-employed and without employer benefits. we haven't had any sort of benefit plans and we're trying to figure that out now.

i can't say that for the previous administration by any means because that is part of the problem we're in right now. they painted police as the bad guy anytime something happened with police and the black community t was fingerpointing initiative against the police. but i think right now the federal government is, i think we have an administration that wants to have justice for these police officers and shows that every day. steve: well, it is a tragedy we've lost another kansas sheriff's deputy on this monday morning. vincent hill, thank you very much for joining us today from atlanta. >> steve, thank you, steve steve you bet. straight ahead, a circus turns into chaos. look at the top of the screen. that camel bucking children off. we'll tell you what happened next. that is something. another big one for the trump economy. consumer sentiment is soaring. charles payne here for your wallet. he is coming up next.

you need a partner that is willing to break free from conventional thinking. we are a different kind of financial company. we are athene, and we are driven to do more. >> trying to hold him, trying to pull him up and it got so where i couldn't hold on anymore and he let go. ainsley: my word. wow. a mom trying to hold on to her little baby in the floodwaters down in south carolina. just, she broke down obviously, could see her describing the moment her baby was swept away. there is the picture of her child. she was driving through floodwaters. in north carolina. steve: floodwaters trapping people inside of their home forcing hundreds to be rescued. you've been watching that all weekend. brian: ellison barber live in is that flood warning in effect.

reporter: that is example, brian. we driven around last couple days, marion county, dillon county, south carolina, you constantly come up on areas just like this. whether it is homes or roads, there are pockets of flooding, some more severe than others. there are 3400 members of the south carolina national guard deployed in this state. they're out working with local law enforcement trying to help people who might be stuck in their homes. at times they're also blocking roadways, places just like this to try to make sure people don't try to drive through and get stuck. this roadway is exactly why people are telling, or officials are telling members of their communities they should stay inside. it has been a difficult past few days for north carolina and south carolina. at least 17 people have died because of this storm. it is a number that many people have already heard but it bears repeating because this storm did not discriminate. the first death reported in

south carolina was a 61-year-old woman in gaston county, north carolina, a 3-year-old passed away when a tree fell on their home. brock long says this is not over yet. >> those that are stuck not having access to pharmaceuticals and food, the mess haj to people, please stay out of the flooding waters. reporter: in south carolina there is concern about flash flooding. governor mcmaster is telling people they're really worried about river flooding. take a listen. >> as you know, those rivers in north carolina that received heavy rainfall are coming our way as our own rivers are gathering water now. please heed the warnings that are given to you. we do not want to lose lives to this water.

reporter: south carolina fared better than its neighbors in north carolina but we spent so much time in places like dylan, south carolina, brian, steve, ainsley, some of the devastation that small community took is really hard to describe. we are seeing countless people still trapped in their hopes. back to you guys. steve: ellison thank you very much. janice joins us. janice, almost a yard of water. >> we're still getting storm totals. north carolina, south carolina set the most water from tropical system like florence. historic. we're getting storm totals. it's a depression finally moving northward. because of slow movement it was stalled for really days across north carolina. we're starting to see a little bit of relief but the rainfall and flooding is still going to exist throughout the day today. the threat for tornadoes as

well. flash flood warnings for part of north carolina, south carolina into virginia. it will move to the northeast. some rivers have yet to crest. some kays they will crest to historic levels. we won't know scope of damage for days or weeks across north care caroline and virginia. steve: janice, thanks very much. ainsley: consumer sentiment crushing expectations, the second strongest since 2:00. brian: here to break down what it means for your wallet is charles payne, host of "making money on fox business network. the last indicator is wage growth. we're starting to see wage growth, right? >> that is what is driving this confidence, right? this is consumer sentiment. they measure in two-ways, what they call current, how do you feel right now about things that is off the charts. expectations, how do you think things will work out next six months. that improved even more than

current conditions in the last month. very positive things. what i like to point out to people, the peak for this survey was in january of 2,000, same as the stock market. since then the stock market is well up over 100%. what this tells me we put a cap since 2000 over optimism. we don't believe. we don't have the fate that it can be great. we have so much more room on the upside to become an extraordinarily optimistic nation. we could be on the cusp of something monument al, we really could be. steve: why do you think that is? we heard when he was running for president, donald trump was talking about i will get government out of your way businesses, less regulation and taxes is that it? >> skepticism more than anything else. we had two stock market crashes, and housing build up. we given up on believe, institutions, government, religion, otherwise, we became a

skeptical nation. our own personal fortunes will have to continue to increase over time. we'll have to see our family and friends doing well. you know what came out last week? census bureau did median income. you remember the headline. beyond the headline, nine income brackets, very highest bracket, every single race, households, record amount of households as percentage in highest income bracket in the history of this country. let me tell you, for black people, 526 households -- it was when i graduated high school less than 9,000. it is started to be reflected in the economy and sure ways like this. brian: jamie dimon said when president got elected consumer confidence soared because he has a pro-business attitude that helped economy. i give the president a b-plus to a minus so far. couple days prior to that he was saying i could beat this guy. >> he vacillates here and there with president trump, no doubt

about it. brian: because he reflect the sense of big business in wall street, even though they didn't vote for him, they like what he has done? >> why wouldn't you like what he has done. take apple for instance, apple computer which president trump is urging to bring jobs to america, from repatriation tax they will save $39 billion. in the last quarter because of the difference in the tax rate they saved $1.3 billion. this company this year alone will end up pocketing $45 billion. the american public is saying to them. maybe the president's right. maybe you can bring some of those jobs back. maybe we can do some of manufacturing here. by the way you got extra 45 billion bucks. can you train a few americans? steve: why big tariffs on stuff in china. hey, apple don't make it in china, make it here. >> we understand you want costs to be down and idea it is impossible to do that, so cost prohibitive, they will pocket this year alone 45 billion-dollars in savings, you got to be kidding me. one company. brian: averaged 1.9%.

economy is froing 4%. >> so much more room on the upside. we should allow ourselves to understand. we're nowhere near the potential of optimism and foe tension america can be, nowhere near it. ainsley: we have other news to tell you about this morning the lawyer for the woman accusing pretty cavanagh of assault is going public. this morning her attorney says she is willing to talk to congress. >> is your client willing to testify before the judiciary committee publicly and tell this story? >> she is. she's willing to do what every it takes to get her story forth, yes. ainsley: joining us earlier on "fox & friends," kellyanne conway said the accuser should be heard. >> this woman should not be insulted and she should not be ignored. remember, too, that has to be weighed fence what we've already know. this is very significant for a man of character and integrity to be spoken about so highly by women who maybe didn't vote for president trump, maybe don't call themselves republicans certainly.

ainsley: the woman says the assault happened back in the '80s. cav thaw's confirmation vote is set for this thursday. chaotic scene at a circus when a camel goes wild, getting spooked and throwing kids off its back. six kids and one adult after this happened in pittsburgh. it happened in mid show event, kids were invited to arena where they can take a ride. one child suffered a broken arm. brian: i will not ride a camel today. ainsley: good idea. senator ted cruz trolling pita protesters after they showed up one of his events. the senate republican, peta protested our town hall, handing out barbecued tofu. it illustrates the stakes at election if beto, barbecue will be illegal. brian: true. ainsley: cruz is also joked that his opponent congressman beto o'rourke will turn the state into california with tofu, silicone and dyed hair.

those are your headlines. brian: all right. steve: future of barbecue. first people, as you know, some of them burned their nikes. now the outrage is far from over. two government departments taking their own stand against nike's kaepernick campaign. one of the people involved joins us to explain that decision coming up next. ainsley: and it is constitution day. so to celebrate we're sending brian out on the streets. brian: yes. ainsley: we elected you. brian: right. ainsley: to find out how much the average american actually knows about the constitution. to bet them, brian. brian: i'm going on the streets. 231 years old today. ♪

ainsley: first people burned their nikes after the company's decision to feature colin

kaepernick in its new campaign ad. now certain state and local government departments are taking a stand on their morning. there ind not all of it is accurate. whoever told you don't believe everything you read on the internet knew what they were talking about. we did not ban nike all together. we had, first of all, we are not a government agency. we are a membership association that represents the interests of agriculture in texas and we market products and services to those members and we were getting frankly complaints in the field, primarily from insurance representatives, claims adjusters, complaining about the nike affiliation. and basically this is what all the fuss is about. this nike logo here that you see on the sleeve, and our texas farm bureau logo on the front so that is cobranding. so when nike chose to become involved in this controversy,

they brought us along with them. we had been concerned about this sort of thing for some time and we have been moving toward shirts primarily that display only our logo so that now going forward, any company that chooses to become involved in a controversy eel marketing campaign, they don't bring texas farm bureau along with them. steve: okay. >> our employees from shoes to hats, to shirts anything they buy themselves they can continue to wear that. that is not an issue. ainsley: you just didn't want to be political, right, is that why you want to remove it? >> right. we wanted to step away from the controversy that was going on here and we've been thinking about this for some time. oddly enough there were only 22 of them left out there. someone picked up on the end of the campaign to stop cobranding with nike. so now we have this problem and it has exploded on the internet. we're hearing from everyone who thinks we have banned nike. that is not the case.

we support everyone's right to free speech. we support the people who are uncomfortable with the protest and certainly protesting is a uniquely american thing. we have no problem with that either. steve: it is indeed. gene hall, joining us today from waco to set the record straight. thank you. ainsley: thanks, gene. >> thank you. steve: now we know. did you realize today is constitution day? we want to know how much americans really know about it. >> this will be fun. brian is a history buff and he is out on fox square testing folks knowledge. check in with bill hemmer, what is coming up at the top of the hour. hey, bill. >> hey, guys, good morning to you on monday, ready to kick off a brand new week. this situation down here in north carolina it is no good. we'll take you up and down the coast, let you know what you need inland next three hours. latest on kavanaugh what is happening from that. breaking news this morning and a bit earlier today. the mayor is coming up here.
