overnight after north korea has admitted to denuking the peninsula. ainsley: one of the many things back on the table after kim jong un and the south korean president moon jae-in met for a second day. brian: this was stunning news. not many people were expecting this. garrett tenney in washington with the very latest. garrett, let the games begin, i guess. steve: the olympic games. >> that will be interesting to see north and south korea announcing they will seek to host the olympics in 2032. the korean leaders are billing this agreement as a major step towards peace on the korean peninsula. on the second day of the summit, south korea's moon said that kim for the first time has agreed on a specific step towards denuclearization by promising to permanently dismantle launch pad and test site in the presence of international experts. late last night president trump reacted to that announcement tweeting kim jong un agreed to allow

nuclear. there will be no rocket or nuclear testing. hero remains to continue being flown home to the united states. agreeing to host the 2032 olympics. very exciting. kim promised to dismantle main nuclear complex if the u.s. takes corptionding measures. those corresponding measures weren't specified but it's worth noting the north has demanded a lot of things from the u.s. including official peace treaty to end the korean war. the u.s. isn't willing to do until the north takes more substantial steps to denuclearize. what will be seen and what we will be looking for in the next few days ahead is whether or not these latest agreements are enough to get the stalled negotiations between the u.s. and the north back on track and that was really south korea's president's main goal heading into this summit. back to y'all.

steve: that's right,gate, it's unclear what steps mr. kim hopes the united states will take before actually dismantling the primary nuke facility. brian: do you know what's fascinating is a country known as a hermit kingdom they get our president. they will blast our nation but not our president. steve: these days. brian: they got rid of all the propaganda in the capital. i'm not saying this isn't nothing because despicable regime and did horrible things and thin to do so. there is something about the president and that meeting that continues to help out and stop rockets from ricocheting over japan and the west coast. ainsley: the art of the deal, brian. learn to work together. let's talk about judge kavanaugh. the accuser, yesterday we were wondering whether or not she was going to appear in front of the judiciary committee. she said she wanted to talk. the judiciary committee said okay, we will put you in front of us on monday.

steve, we were wondering whether or not. don't know if she'll talk. of course she will. her attorney came out and said she wants to talk. learned yesterday afternoon she doesn't want to talk on monday. steve: that's right. she had indicated -- we had heard that there was cooperation deal in the works supposedly, although the democrats were not helping arrange any sort of contact with the lawyer or any sort of a meeting on monday. and then the attorney released a letter and made it very clear she is not going to be talking on monday because there has been no fbi investigation. we'll talk about the fbi angle. but, first, here is a portion of her -- the attorney's letter to the committee. says as the judiciary committee has recognized and done before, an fbi investigation of the incident should be the first step in addressing her allegations. the hearing was scheduled for six short days from today and would include interrogation from senators who appeared to have made up their minds that she is mistaken and mixed up. brian: wait a second.

she says then and she has been through a traumatic experience 36 years ago, she says it is -- the story that she put out there when she contacted a lawmaker on the west coast who contacted senator feinstein and then of course they weren't in contact with each other. senator feinstein says she is not sure that she actually believes what this woman says has no way of verifying. what's going to happen in six days that will help her memory about an event about brett kavanaugh who might be the supreme court justice? how would an inquiry jog her memory? so far we know it happened in 1982, in the summer, she thinks, at a place she doesn't remember. she doesn't remember much else about that party because she was 15 at the time, maybe? i don't know. steve: the chairman charles grassley said yesterday nothing the fbi or anything any other investigator does would have any bearing on what dr. ford tells the committee. there is no reason for any further delay. for them to call for an fbi investigation, according to a former fbi agent who was

on the channel last night. look, it's not the fbi's job to look into this. watch. >> something may have happened to this woman. we shouldn't discount that she has a memory of something, whether or not it involved judge kavanaugh or somebody else, because it's been 36 years. memories fade. but, more importantly, this is the type of crime a sex offense that's being alleged is handled by the local authorities, the fbi does not have jurisdiction. i'm talking about the process. if you have a complaint, there is a method to do it. don't make the fbi your political animal to try to handle things the way your political party may want it to be. steve: the fbi doesn't do criminal background checks into nominees. the role is not to issue a judgment about a nominee. instead, you gather information, and then submit it to the white house. what they did after they got the letter last week from dianne feinstein they submitted it to the white house. they submitted it to the

judiciary committee. that's their role. that's all there is. ainsley: i think the public looks at it as this is a she said this was her account. he said this was his account. he doesn't remember it he wasn't at the party or told other people. she said this happened to her. clearly something happened to her. whether or not it involved judge kavanaugh, unless she speaks and unless we hear from her, that's never going to be determined. and then it's outside of the statute of limitations. it's not a federal issue. the fbi guy is saying. so there is some -- it's just up in the air. so republicans are saying we don't have a choice. we have got to move on. we have got to vote. brian: comes down to this. straight party line vote. the republicans would pass. jeff flake says i have got to hear from her first. that was before this revelation that she is not going to show up on monday or whatever date they said. bob corker and somebody else said i wanting to hear from her first. he tweeted this out last night. after learning of the agencies chuck grassley took immediate action to make

sure dr. ford and judge kavanaugh have the opportunity to be heard in public or private. republicans extended a hand of good faith. if we don't hear from both sides on monday, let's vote. susan murkowski, corker and flake made it clear they had a problem after these allegations comes out. seems like a sincere effort by republicans and president showing the discipline he used in the fall of 2016 to get momentum to his campaign after he reconfigured things showing again multiple times yesterday. i want to hear her out. i feel bad for brett kavanaugh. let's see how it goes. steve: keep in mind. dianne feinstein had this letter from the accuser six weeks ago. she could have it given it to the fbi then and everybody would have known about it and there is dr. christine ford, she is the accuser. in the letter it also said from her attorney, it also said she has received death threats. she has had to relocate her family and her email has

been hacked and she is being impersonated online. brian: here is what the scenario of events has been portrayed that we understanding according to feinstein's office. brian: congressman issues office gets the letter. they issue the congresswoman from california democrat i urge to you go to feinstein. they go to feinstein. feinstein says write up the letter. looks at the letter. she says she hanged it to the senate ethics committee and after they investigate and evaluate the allegations that according to feinstein spokesperson. she was told the rules committee would have to sign off on it and have to validate ford's wishes to remain anonymous and they couldn't do it while allowing her to remain anonymous. and that's where it stopped. then she came forward with it, and then she came out, did dr. ford, with "the washington post" column. ainsley: as far as the time line is concerned republicans have said there probably will be a vote middle or the end of next week. we will continue to keep you posted. watch this story.

brian: if murkowski and collins come out and say i'm not voting. steve: a lot could happen in five days. about 6:11 in new york city. jillian joins us with some news. jillian: that's right. good morning. we are following a fox news alert. get you caught up on this. elizabeth smart's kidnapper will be release from prison any moment. wanda barzee will walk free five years early after her sentence was miscalculated. smart says she should remain behind bars saying she is a danger to the public recalling her ache deduction 16 years ago. >> rape he. she would sit right next to me. beside my body. there were no secrets. she knew what was going on. she was evil and twisted. >> smart was 14 years old when barzee's husband kidnapped her in utah. is he serving a life sentence. terrifying moments in the sky when two air force pilots eject moments before

from michael shae or anyone outside of that hollywood bubble. >> what do you think if it were a different religion if they used mohammed, for instance? what would be the reaction? christianity under attack in particular under attack. we see it all the time. that's why so many people have supported this president and this administration. they continue to stand for people of faith and coming up here this week in washington is a values voters summit. i'm told that secretary of state mike pompeo will be speaking specifically about religious freedom. it's a top priority for him and for some people in this administration. ainsley: how do you handle this as a christian? do you feel like the mainstream media or do you feel like some in hollywood are trying to silence you? >> you know, again, it's a

matter of really just standing strong, i think, for a lot of christians and understanding their rights. freedom of religion and going to vote. they spoke very loudly. in 2016 when they turned out to vote for donald trump, because he promised to support religious freedom to support a lot of causes that are important to people of faith. and so that's how people can make their -- that's how christians and all people of faith can make their voices heard is to get out and vote in these elections that are critical. ainsley: there's an article in the new yorker it's a long article, i read it about sarah huckabee sanders calling her the preacher's kid, the p.k. saying she is trump's battering ram. it also talks about her faith. this magazine decided to tweet out one particular part of the article talking about her faith that is an affiliate of hill song the

possible here. ainsley: all right. she's back and so is tomi lahren. she is going to weigh in on this. host of fox nation. hey, tommy, congratulation to see you. >> hi, guys. boy i love seeing hillary clinton on television. makes me feel so good about the mid terms and 2020. keep bringing her on. i appreciate it. steve: tomi, try to be the interpreter here when hillary clinton is talking about donald trump's authoritarian tendencies, what is she referring to? >> i have no idea. i don't know if by authoritarian tendencies she is referring to g.d.p. over 4%. steve: probably not. >unemployment near 18-year low. i'm not sure what she is looking at here. again, like all democrats she rests on he is mean, i don't like what he tweets, i don't like what he says. listen, once democrats understanding that we didn't elect this president to be nice, we elected him to get stuff done, maybe they will understand his appeal and accomplishments. until then, they are lost.

steve: the whole key of appearing on television last night is to do her best to try to get the republicans out of control of congress and here she is talking about how important this big november election is in another sound bite. >> if we ignore the importance of this midterm election and there is no check and balance, we don't take back one or both of the houses of congress, then i think you will see even more of the dismantling of our institutions with very dire effects. brian: she is a wonderful speaker but is her message getting across? >> they couldn't pick a worse messenger than hillary clinton. i don't know why the democrats can't understand that at this point. what infuriates me most is when she talks about president trump dishadn't ling our institutions, this coming from a woman and a party that routinely talks about abolishing ice, that has no respect for law enforcement, border enforcement, national security, and she has the audacity to think president

trump dismantling our institutions and traditions, excuse me, hillary, what are you watching? brian: let's talk about a double standard. ainsley: karen monahan is the exgirlfriend of deputy dnc chairman congressman keith ellison. she has accused him -- they dated for three years, her son went out and said he witnessed his mom being abused by keith ellison, and then she doubled down on that and said i didn't want to talk about it and my son brought it up, now you are blasting my son. i need to come forward. this is what she tweeted she said no, they don't. i have been smeared, threatened isolated by my own party. i provided medical records from 2017 stating two different doctor visits i told them about the abuse and who did it my therapist released records. she said she is being slammed by own party. double standard is democrats are quick to judge judge kavanaugh. what is your opinion about it? >> well, the double standard is the only standard by the

left. i have to tell you guys whether it is republicans, democrats, independents, i don't care. i am so sick and tired of sexual assault and abuse being used as a political football and being politicized. we have come to this point where we are trying to overcorrect with the me too movement and taking accusations as truth as gospel. that's unfair on both sides of the aisle. we are seeing with the democrats they are rushing to disparage and belittle judge kavanaugh. meanwhile ignoring some issues within their own party. quite frankly, i think the american people are tired of it on both sides of the aisle. but especially the double standard. brian: yeah. think there there is a huge difference between a couple of years ago and 36 years ago between reports and someone speculating around what time and what year and what summer something happened. i think this is a huge story. >> oh, no, it absolutely is certainly when we are talking about abuse, we are talking about sexual assault or harassment, it needs to be taken seriously on both sides of the aisle. we need to have some common

sense when we are looking at these case by case and what infuriates me so much about what is happening to judge kavanaugh, this doesn't seem like a true case of victimhood but a case of opportunity for political purposes. that should never have a place in the political process and it's really disappointing to see it as a woman i'm disappointed to see other women using it in that way. brian: let's talk about seeing you. see you on fox nation streaming subscription based service coming out shortly. get more on that on foxnation.com. sign up now and become. steve: super fan of fox. thank you for joining us live. ainsley: thank you, tomi. >> thanks, guys. brian: number two at the fbi but got fired for lying. now andrew mccabe is hoping to cash in by trashing the president. steve: mid terms just around the corner. pete hegseth is in new jersey with voters this morning. it's pancake pete to the rescue.

some of her facts and to almost ruin someone's life about being accused of something that they may not have done because she seems to not be sure about the party, if he was there, if he wasn't, when it actually was, i feel like if you are going to accuse somebody your facts should be bullet-proof and i'm not sure hers are. todd: when you talk about hearings and public testimony, does it surprise you now that she is saying she doesn't want to testify? your reaction to the whole thing? >> well, i wouldn't want to testify either if my facts weren't secure and it's a 35-year memory. so that's a long time. so, i wouldn't want to go on under oath and swear on tv to what may have happened or may not have happened. pete: that's a great point. should he be voted, in do you believe, you know -- should they delay this process at all? >> if he is going to be the only one to defend himself and she doesn't want to speak then yes. he should be voted in.

pete: bill, your take on it as well. you have some thoughts. >> i have think they did it -- the timing of it is to strange to do it at the last-minute. i think they short fused the process to try to push it past the mid terms in hopes they can take control of the senate and stop it that way. pete: as much as accusations should be considered and looked at, you feel like there is a lot of politics. >> i think it's politics based on the timing. they have you had have should he accusations earlier when they knew about it in july instead of waiting until the last minute. pete: see what happens as far as the committee hearings and what the time line looks like. any other time we would be talking about this economy which is as strong as it's ever been. you are in insurance. what part of this economy is most encouraging to you? >> hoping that the changes in nafta are going to make a big difference u when it first went through years ago, our company insures small equipment manufacturing and it really took a hit back when it was first implemented. and to see this

steve: former president barack obama is hitting the campaign trail and he wanted credit for the booming economy. >> when you hear these folks bragging about this economic miracle, just remember when it started. steve: just remembered when it started. if it is president obama's economy then why did it take so long to get going and why did it seem to boom after he left office? here former advisor to ronald reagan period fara. >> good to be here. steve: isn't president obama

correct that the recovery after 2008 started in the obama days. >> the recovery day started on election day 2016 it took trump's tax cuts and deregulation to get the economy booming. before that it was the worst and slowest economic recovery since the great depression in terms of jobs, economic growth, median family income, wages. poverty rate. even inequality all lagging throughout obama's entire administration. steve: how many times did we hear from the obama advisors and people on television and how this slow growth was the new normal that we would never going to be 2%. >> it took president trump six months to get to 3% even even though they said it's impossible. now it's 4%. expect to grow faster and faster. reagan's recovery lasted 25 years. we are just getting started here. steve: we are not

economists -- you are, but explain the difference between the obama policies towards this and what president trump did that seemed to make a difference. >> the real distinction actually goes back to reagan actually. it is a sharp distinction with trump as well. obama did the opposite of every one of reagan's pro-growth policies. reagan, instead of cutting tax rates like reagan did. obama increased tax rates on income taxes, payroll taxes, capital gains, dividends, maintain the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world, these are the reasons why as the recovery was so slow. instead of deregulation like reagan did, obama increased regulation on energy, on health insurance and healthcare. on finance. and so, again, that was the opposite of reagan. instead of cutting government spending, obama gave us the highest government spending deficits and debt in the history of the world. so, these are reasons why he had the slowest economic recovery since the great

depression. steve: all right, peter ferrera,. >> thank you very much. steve: meanwhile have you heard about all the allegations against judge brett kavanaugh. what about that man, keith ellison? brand new bombshell from his accuser. we bet you won't hear any place else. top performance suv of the year about to be revealed, exclusively here on fox square. which one of those five vehicles is it? stick around. ♪ born to be wild ♪ waze integration- seamlessly connecting the world inside... with the world outside... making life a little... easier.

came out between north korea recommits to denuclearization, kind of. steve: one of the many things back on the table an kim jong un and the president of south korea met for a second day in pyongyang. ainsley: that's right. garrett tenney is live in washington with the very latest. garrett? >> good morning, y'all. we have come a long ways a few years ago north korea was threatening to turn south korea's capital into a sea of fire. two countries making a bid to co-host the 2032 summer olympics. more importantly though, the korean leaders announce an agreement they describe as a major step towards peace in denuclearized korean peninsula. on the second day of the summit. south korea's summit said kim jong un has agreed to permanently dismantle a key missile launch pad and test site and to allow international inspectors to monitor the process. late last night president trump reacted to the announcement tweeting kim jong un has agreed to allow nuclear inspections of subject to final negotiations and to

permanently dismantle a test site and launch pad in the presence of international experts. in the meantime, there will be no rocket or nuclear testing. hero remains continue to being returned home to the united states. also north and south korea will file a joint bid to host the 2032 olympics. very exciting. another promise he made was to dismantle his country's main nuclear complex only if the u.s. takes corresponding measures, which he didn't specify. there are always questions with any agreement the north makes. experts say that caveat of corresponding u.s. action throws a bit of cold water on this agreement. >> color me a skeptic, i'm definitely a skeptic on anything that north korea does. however, here is something i will say on a positive perspective. it does appear at least publicly that the talks between the u.s. and north korea have been stalled, so, perhaps, this will be an impetus to get them moving forward. >> coming into the summit that was the main goal to

get kim to agree on something of substance with the u.s. back on track. that's what we will be looking for and asking u.s. officials today is this agreement enough to bring the u.s. back to the table? brian: well, thanks, garrett, you see with mike pompeo they like to insult mike pompeo but not the president. when the secretary of state goes over there or john bolton goes over there hey about the denuclearization south korea leader said are they going to follow through on that, i know one thing for sure they are on the right path and seem to have a ton of respect, like the polish, for this president. there is something about president trump and kim jong un where they are just not -- they refuse to insult each other anymore. i don't know how you work out that type of relationship. steve: strategy and the president doesn't refer to him as little rocket man anymore. clearly a strategy. is this going to work? stay tuned. ainsley: all right. meanwhile, judge kavanaugh was supposed to be confirmed tomorrow. then they delayed it until next week possibly because this lady comes out accusing him of sexual assault more

than 35 years ago. we thought we were going to hear from her. yesterday our attorney said she is willing to talk so judiciary committee said yeah, she can come and speak on monday. she has now decided she doesn't want to do it. not enough time. steve: she, through her attorney, she is saying exactly the same thing that the democrats have been saying. that is we are not going anywhere until the fbi investigates his case. we have heard, you know, through various sources and, in fact, we played a sound bite earlier in the program from an fbi spokesperson who says, look, it's not the fbi's job to do a criminal background check. that's not how it works. ainsley: we are a federal agency and this happened at the state level. steve: if there were charges, there would be a state law violation not federal law. essentially what they do is look into somebody's character and put together reports and give it to the white house and the white house gives it to the committee and that's what they did after senator dianne feinstein got the letter, released the letter last week. last night we heard from her attorney and made it very

clear got to be an fbi investigation. brian: so she'll not go in front of the committee. she does say that she does not remember everything that happened. summer of '82. doesn't remember exactly what party it was at or the what the circumstances were. what i don't understand is the mind set if we believe the lawyer is the expressing the mind set of the client which we would. she is saying i want an fbi investigation before guy in front of the committee. what difference does it make? is it the fbi's job to jog her memory? is it the fbi's job to go and interview everyone around her to validate her story? that should be divorced from anything that she wants to do. and when she did that column in the "the washington post," i think that that is incumbent on her to finish off the story after the invitation was offered to her. i don't think can you write youe a column destroy someone's life and reputation and career and then say i'm not going to come and expand on it after the invitation came

when she told us 48 hours before she would accept. ainsley: here is a copy of the letter one of her attorneys sent to senator grassley. a portion of the letter says as a judiciary committee has recognized and done before, an fbi investigation of the incident should be in the first -- should be the first step in addressing her allegations. the hearing was scheduled for six short days from today and would include interrogation by senators who appear to have made up their minds that she is mistaken and mixed up. steve: by senate rules they have to schedule a week later and that's why they did that for monday. senator grassley runs things at that committee and he said, quote: nothing the fbi or any other investigator does would have any bearing on what dr. ford tells the committee. so there is no reason for any further delay. according to axios, mitch mcconnell says there is no time line on the vote. is he not making predictions but is he confident that he does have 50 votes with the vice president breaking the tie. of course, the question is what does senator flake

feel? and he made that clear last night via tweet. brian: about 11:50 he tweeted this out why senator flake? because he was the first republican came out and i need to hear from her if i had to vote it would be no. when dr. ford came out forward i said that her voice should be heard and asked judiciary committee to delay its vote on judge kavanaugh. it did so. i now implore dr. ford to accept the invitation of the private setting. the committee should hear her voice. ainsley: she said on "special report" they are weaponizing the me too movement and delaying in hearing. listen to. this democrats said they you wanted an open hearing. they got an open hearing. and now they claim they want something that would take indeterminable amount of time. because it's impossible, of course, to determine the truth, the truth or the falsity of this allegation. it is impossible for the senators to do it in a hearing and it would be largely impossible for anyone to do it 30-some years after the fact. i think though it's not just

republicans have to worry about it given the sensitivities, everyone has to worry about weaponizing me too and weaponizing that moment and politicizing it it's very important that women not being victims of sexual assault. also important that we honor due process and we use the appropriate means to litigate allegations of assault. brian: i think you lose a ton of supporters when you get an opportunity to tell your story, you turn down an opportunity to tell your story on monday. i don't think you can say republicans have already made up their mind because they have been, including the president, they have been very deferential. say, listen, woul we want to her from you. everybody said we want to hear for you. what do you want the republicans to do for brett kavanaugh he didn't insult the woman. said i don't hav i don't have ay recollection went to the white house and said i want to tell my story. what do you want to do? is it okay for somebody to come out and accuse a man or a woman of something this severe, life-destroying

allegation and not be willing to back it up? i don't understand what you want kavanaugh or republicans to do? just forever not vote because of an allegation you refuse to defend? steve: well, she was given the chance, her attorney made it very clear that it's too soon, and you have got to do the fbi investigation. the criminal background check which we have explained they don't do that. brian: they did six background checks on him. steve: they have done six character background checks. see what kind of a person. submitted it and gave it to congress. also according to axios, republican leaders view dr. ford's accusations not only as unproven but unprovable and they will not take the risk of an extended pause so, look for a vote sooner than later. brian: president bush 43 also tweeted out that he and laura still support brett kavanaugh as much as they did day one when he was nominated as they do today. steve: what do you think about the fact that dr. ford is not apparently willing to

come forward come monday? email us. friends at friends@foxnews.com.com. tweet us or facebook us. ainsley: if it's not something they can prove then the fbi doesn't have a case or the police department doesn't have a case if it's gone beyond the statute of limitations. republicans don't have a choice. they have to continue and move on and there has to be a vote. brian: i would not be surprised if she reversed herself. what lawyer are we to believe. ainsley: what do you mean. brian: and shows up on monday? steve: it is the story that everybody is talking about. we would like to hear your opinion as well. meanwhile 7:11 in new york city. jillian joins us once again with an alert. jillian: that's right. a number of stories that we continue to follow, including this fox news alert. elizabeth smart's kidnapper will be released from prison at any moment. wanda barzee will walk free five years early. smart thinks she should remain behind bars. recalling the horrors of her nine month long abduction 16

million of jobs have been created. tax relief means more money in paychecks. retirement funds and the stock market unleashed and roaring back. the mainstream media won't admit it, but the leadership of president donald trump is making america's economy great again. brian: dave bossie director of citizens united okayed that ad, is he a fox news contributor. this is a first hey look at the economy guys ad i have seen out. is this just the beginning? >> it certainly needs to be. i can tell you we are working on a series of very accomplishment-oriented ads for the president to be able to tell the american people exactly what this president has done in the first 18 months of his administration, which is really something no one even he, thought could be done. 4.2% g.d.p., 3.9% unemployment, consumer confidence at 18-year high. small business confidence at all-time high. the numbers are staggering

and heading the right direction. and it's all because this president, the american people elected a president who is a businessman. somebody who has had to sign paychecks. somebody who has had to meet payrolls and understands what businessmen and women across this great country need, that entrepreneurial spirit and that deregulatory atmosphere to be able to unleash american hope, growth and opportunity for all americans. brian: trump was your guy before he ran and trump was your guy after he ran. these are individual races mid terms. president obama didn't help in mid terms. disasters. george bush said stay home. what should donald trump do for it to have success for his party? >> donald trump needs to continue to do exactly what he is doing. do his job every single day and then go out and tell the american people what he is doing. and that's the -- using these rallies across this country. going to state after state

and taking the message of whether it is the supreme court and the federal judiciary, whether it is our economic or national security at home and abroad. whether it's strength our borders. brian: david, i hear you, but these are individual races. they are not donald trump's racdonald trump'sraces how do y. >> that is very important because as the president's job approval numbers go up by educating the american people, by telling the american people exactly what he has done and what's at stake this november, that by losing the house we could lose all of what he has accomplished in the last 18 months, it goes in reverse. and that is the problem. we can't stand for that in this country. republicans have to wake up to this is historically a trend that is going to go against us and we have to work hard to turn out to vote. brian: david bossie, thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. brian: 20 minutes after the hour.

born in texas. that my nice clothes were cowboy boots and khaki pants and polo shirt working at tiny little office real estate agent ready to take on the world. it was tough. very tough. ainsley: you write about your nickname as a kid was cryin' ryan that you watched nickelodeon on friday nights. you weren't confident. you moved to new york to become an actor and then you actually became a hand model because money was running short? >> there is no real career path that i decided to take. >> i wanted to be successful at something. i kind of put career to the side. i thought it was going to be acting. it didn't work out. did i a soap opera for a minute and they killed me off. hand modeling holding phones for at&t to pay the rent for my little apartment in korea town. i ran out of money in 2008. instead of going home i got my real estate license and went from there. steve: be a hand model. hold your book. >> oh, wait, wait, wait.

[laughter] steve: oh, that's it? very nicely done. >> so, in this look, sell it like serhant. have you tips for average person, you don't have to be in real estate but whatever you were doing in life. you have to know your motivation. >> yes. steve: what does that mean. >> that means going into every conversation and every client meeting with an understanding of what you want to get out of it right? so most sales people, whether they are selling shoes or sporting goods or selling pencils they are either too pushy because they are pushing for the sale or they are just tour guides. hey, this is this. do you want to buy it or not? you need to understand that you are either getting somebody to negotiate with you at that moment or getting somebody to fall in love with some other type of product and that's the best way you are going to get closer to have the sale. ainsley: ryan, you talk about building confidence. how did you go about being this kid that wasn't confident. steve: cryin' ryan? >> my back was up against a

wall honestly which something i talk about a lot. trying to find what your wall is what is that thing that you want to get so far away from that success is the only option and for me it was running out of money in 2008. like i never wanted to go back to that moment of where i was nervous about money ever again. and so that was kind of my springboard to go forward. steve: because on that day that the lehman brothers went bankrupt you went to a yogurt stand to use your credit card and they said declined. that's a problem. >> right. steve: talk about the power of yes. >> i mean, that is my whole life, right? i wanted to come to new york city to try to be an actor, yes. let's try it that didn't work. do you want t hold phones and pay the rent let's try it do you want to get into real estate? i don't really know what a real estate broker does in new york city but yes, let's try it let's go. every deal i have ever done in my whole life-million-dollar listings, sell it liare serhant has been like saying yes and figuring it out.

ainsley: you say master the wow moment. steve: i love this point. >> the wow moment is something you do when presenting different options when you are trying to sell something. instead of just showing a $10 item and $15 item and giving the customer the chance to make up their own decisions you want to help make the decision for them by showing something that's going to wow them that's a little bit too expensive like $20 and you don't want them to buy it you tell them i don't want to you buy this i just want you to see it it's going to wow your socks off because then once they see that they come back to the $15 item now it seems like a really good deal. steve: how brilliant is that speaking of wow moments i mentioned to my family you were going to be on today my daughter said you know, the wow moment for him was when he was in times square and that's where you shut down the place when you proposed what was it two years ago? >> i proposed four years ago and got married two years ago to my wife who is hoping i shaved this mustache in a heart beat. the book needs to sell. that's my goal motivation.

you. mike, let me start with you. you see what's happening in washington with the confirmation of brett kavanaugh. what do you make of the time line and how he is being treated? >> i think he is being treated terribly. i think this new letter that's come up with feinstein is just too little, too late. it should be dismissed. pete: people should be heard, i get all of that do you think politic politics polis ernesto twined in all of. this no doubt. all about the politics. pete: ken, i see you nodding your head. vietnam veteran. thank you for your service. your thoughts on the kavanaugh confirmation? >> i believe like mike was saying, what happened years ago who cares now? it's what is he going to do now? and our president has put him up there number one. pete: do you think this is more about the president? >> i think, yeah, yep. everybody wants to make him look like the bad guy and he is just not the bad guy is he made out to be. pete: you saw the interview

with hillary clinton last night on another network. your reaction? >> my reaction is she is full of bologna. [laughter] i can't think of any other word to put it she lost the vote and she is not happy so she is going to bash this man every which way. pete: resistance continues? >> yes. she is not going to stop. pete: donna, we have been talking all morning long. you work here. i appreciate your wonderful service. we talk about the kavanaugh hearings and treatment of him and the situation and your take on it. >> my take in my opinion i believe it's a delayed strategy just to get to the mid terms. it's a stall tactic to win the balance of power. pete: you feel like ultimately it does come down to politics. >> regardless. pete: regardless of a he said, she said situation? >> absolutely. pete: people aren't talking about the economy because they are talking about that. i mean, how do you feel like the economy is doing here? >> i think president trump has done a very job with the economy. i only can imagine what he could have done if he had the support of his own party

in the senate and the congress. pete: not just democrats. >> absolutely. pete: only party not going after his agenda aggressively. >> absolutely. pete: smart folks even here in new jersey, right? right? >> oh. pete: i just had the whole crowd just turn on me. steve: always bad when you are at a diner last line suddenly get hecklers. look out they will throw toast next. ainsley: where is the baby? we want to see the baby? pete: the baby? where is the baby? we will bring her back popular demand. don't worry. ainsley: elizabeth warren leading the push by democrats make companies to make climate risk disclosures. how bad would that be for business? we'll stick around. brian: president trump keeping promise to secure our borders we'll explain although he got no wall money.

steve: massachusetts senator elizabeth warren forcing private companies to make private risk disclosures. our next guest says that's probably bad for business. mark moron know the executive editor of climate depot.com and the author of the politically incorrect guide to climate change. he joins us live here in our new york studio. good morning, marc. >> this is virtue signaling of the highest order for democratic base. they are asking for the ftc to mandate that companies require their climate change disclosure -- their climate change risks. either in the assets they hold, the business they conduct.

>> what's climate change risk. >> company deals in fossil fuels or energy development. what are you causing the climate? in other words, we have already had yak attorney generals, new york, massachusetts go after companies for causing bad weather in an attempt to shake them down. elizabeth warren's bill is giving them the fec and government the means to monitor every activity and link it somehow to climate change. a bad weather event happens. what was that company doing there? they caused those emissions which caused bad weather event. steve: here is my question while she is putting that out there and sure she has a demographic that says yeah, right, we are for that it's not going to pass. >> it's not going to pass right now. again, this is for 2020. al gore has firmly endorsed this bill. steve: right. >> this is the idea of, they believe that they say many bad things will happen. whenever bad things happen, hurricane florence, a tornado, a drought, they say ah-ha we predicted it and this storm or this event is because of our emissions and therefore exxon mobil is

this percent responsible and this company. they will use disclosures and have the size of a phone book in the end and go after them and try to sue them for money for causing bad weather. steve: for bad weather last week the president was being slammed. there is an op-ed, i think, from "the washington post that said he was complicit in the fact that hurricane florence was such a monster given the fact that he pulled out of the paris climate accord. >> we have cnn and "the washington post" practicing mid evil witchcraft. that witch caused this bad weather and crop failure. we wouldn't have had this had those witches not been there they had trials on this. now they are blaming the president of the united states. donald trump does not get credit for our economic growth but the media is perfectly willing to blame him for a hurricane. how does that work? it makes no sense whatsoever. steve: you are telling me can't control the weather? >> again, al gore believes that we need legislation to control the weather. this is a sad day for science. my book details the absurdity of all of this.

steve: it does. >> pay up or face bad weather. the government has to protect us from bad weather. thanks, steve. steve: marc thanks very much. take a quick break. more "fox & friends" coming up.

ainsley: get along, kenny chesney. now we can continue to show. pete: now she is out $.99. friend and center, brett kavanaugh's accuser, doctor ford was scheduled to come in two days ago, one of her attorney said she is willing to talk, it would make sense because she offered a detailed descriptions of what happened to her in 1985 in the summer. she said she was attacked by someone two years older than her name to brett cavanagh. the friend said it never happened. brett kavanaugh said i look forward to defending myself through sources, he said it never happened, has no recollection of it and even the accuser doesn't but the big news is right now she will not be there on monday. according to attorneys she will not testify until an fbi investigation takes place. ainsley: they are calling for an fbi investigation, holding the letter here, here's a snippet from the letter she sent to

senator grassley, an fbi investigation of the incident should be the first step in addressing allegations. the hearing was scheduled for six short days including interrogation by senators. >> there is not going to be an fbi investigation. the fbi has already done what they do when it comes to beef confirmation hearings. last week diane feinstein gave the fbi the letter that she received and gave it to the fbi and what they do by statute is they don't do, background checks will get the character of people, they look at the letter verbatim in the white house -- that is all they do. if there were federal law that was broken that would be one thing, they would investigate but if there was anything broken it would be state law but that is not their function. chuck grassley said this. nothing the fbi or any

investigator does would have any bearing on what they tell the committee so no reason for further delay. now it sets up what is going to happen monday. will brett kavanaugh come in and there is an empty seat where she's going to sit or is the whole thing off? are they going to have a vote? ainsley: this is what senator bob corker said. chairman chuck grassley took immediate action to ensure doctor ford and brett kavanaugh have the opportunity to be heard in public or private. extended the hand in good faith. if we don't hear from both sides on monday let's vote. ainsley: pete: he wanted to hear from him. she is not going to show. mitch mcconnell is on to something when he says he has 50 votes, a tiebreaker from mike pence.

and financials like this need a tiebreaker to bring through but when you thought he would get a lot of red state democrats, had them in 30 hours, they had this information in july. and putting it forward. until that column appeared within a minute in the washington post. >> he wanted to remain anonymous but that doesn't mean she couldn't have given it to the fbi in july and that is why republicans are upset with the timing. way past the 11th hour this comes out, just looking on twitter. mark live in, says won't testify unless there's an fbi investigation. look like schumer is for the lawyer. >> there is a general sentiment,

a 1985 allegation, details, going forward to answer more questions about it. if you're brett cavanagh and believe you're innocent and let's say you are what do you want to do? he couldn't have had a better record. easily guilty according to some of being conservative. ainsley: if this falls out federal and state statute of limitations, it happens decades ago and that is what the law says and she doesn't come forward to talk, we went to see what she looked like and her reaction and what her recollection was of that summer, whatever happens but if she's not going to do that the senate, they have no choice but to move forward. >> democrats when an fbi investigation and the fbi says we are done. everything we do -- it is politics.

republicans want to treat this fairly. they want to vote on whether -- >> the president has done a great job not making himself the center of the story. he said that four times. important to note senate or diane feinstein's unscripted moments, up to republicans who comes to testify. she feels accusations are credible though she can't say everything is true. all democrats started coming down on her for saying that. >> what do you think? this, they are supposed to have been hearing on monday. will there be a vote after that? will she show up? ainsley: hillary clinton was on television last night with rachel maddow making predictions what is going to happen if

democrats don't win. the president could start firing people who don't agree with him. >> what i worry about his after this election this president will wholesale fire people. that is my prediction for tonight. if you don't have one or both houses of congress in place, he will be even more uncontrollable and unaccountable. he will fire people in the white house, he will fire people in his administration, who he thinks are crossing him, questioning him, undermining him. pete: she's worried about the president's cabinet, can't imagine -- >> he is going to fire a bunch of people after the midterms. ainsley: if -- so bizarre she is saying that. he wants to fire possibly people who were working behind the scenes to try to rig the election so she could win. wouldn't anyone in their right

mind fire anyone who was trying to rig the election and do something wrong if that is the case? pete: he wants to fire the attorney general. and road rosenstein, they want to get rid of him too. is that going to happen? she is a what a lot of republicans are saying. unless the people rise up and stop the republicans from controlling congress this guy is just -- ainsley: why these people work for the doj and the fbi, why can't you fire people who work in federal government you are doing unethical things. brian: one thing that is off is that the president wants to get rid of mattis. if you look at what mueller has been doing, about to cut a deal with manafort, told papadopoulos, 12 they is in jail, michael cohen, the district of new york, looks like a lot of this is wrapping up. that will be the jumping off point.

you heard george papadopoulos last night with martha and the way he knows he wants the investigation to go and he figured out this whole thing was a set up and he lived it. it is not a pundit sitting on the side using conjecture. he lived it and is able to describe it. a lot of this is chronicled and thought about, has really -- >> let's see, the fbi and doj things, the president himself is heading to base andrews to survey the catastrophic damage left behind by florence. >> the floodwaters are continuing to threaten entire communities. >> officials are pleading for help. >> in a few hours the president will touch down 20 miles east of here.

let me show you the view out of air force land one before he lands which waterflood, devastation, 16 rivers at flood stage, 10,000 people in shelters and at least 37 dead. the mayor near pollocksville says this is the message he wants for the president today. >> the president needs to know pollocksville has survived situations like this in the past but needs resources. we don't have manpower, don't have any full-time employees. everything we do we have to outsource. >> reporter: the governor asking residents here to take their time coming back, duke energy crews to get the removal of trees, even in areas receding waters.

we have like for people seeking asylum, the cubans and haitians, people from afghanistan and iraq who work for the us government. it is a massive program, generous humanitarian admissions program but it is costly. we expect taking in people who are destitute is going to require public dollars and we need to limit the number to a reasonable number, a good job supporting is also make sure we are avoiding the security problems we had and not admitting people who are a threat to our community. >> do you see what is happening in germany and sweden and england? is that why you are wary? >> of course. and in the united states as well there is the case of a man admitted from the rack for the refugee program who is responsible for a murder and the

important thing is that we do the job right and accept a realistic number. bringing people here for resettlement is not the only way to help displaced people in the world. we funnel billions of dollars into international and us-led assistance programs all over the globe. more than 7 billion in syria alone. this is a balanced approach. >> they say in normal circumstances only 6% in a dire situation. thanks so much. new at 30, president obama kept it as 110. straight ahead, number 2 at the fbi was fired for lying. now andrew mccabe hopes to cash in by trashing donald trump. we first met crystal valen during her mom's vice president to run in 2008. bristol is here with what her
