world where everyone could say an accusation from 36 years ago not to go down that train, must be believed. i believe this is probably true. he probably joked about it. anna: sarcastic. pete: sarcastic. let's wear a wire. rod rosen sometime is part of the whole resistance trying to cover up what this president from early on. his instinct was to fire this guy from early on. is he in charge of the special counsel that unravels another thing. ed: you make another point. after this may 2017 meeting rod rosenstein since jeff sessions accused himself appointed robert mueller as special counsel. this was a critical meeting. no joking around. right after this rod rosenstein i think this president and team needs a special counsel to investigate them. who else was at the meeting? hang on, andrew mccabe. anna: who was in the room when it happened? ed: he is under federal investigation mccabe for lying and leaking.

so did he leak this story now to make rosenstein look bad and then try to provoke president trump in to doing what you are saying right now, fire rosenstein. pete: i don't care about any of it it's all palace intrigue and d.c. swamp intrigue. ed: no, it's not. no, this is about. anna. story coming out and woodward's book. you hear about that. anonymous posting what he did is anybody really surprised. donald jr. said last night shocked sarcastically. warning about the fbi. there is a lingering stench. listen to this. >> just look at what is now being exposed in our department of justice and the fbi. look at what's going on. look at what's going on. and i want to tell you, we have great people in the department of justice. we have great people. these are people, i really

[cheers] >> but there is a lingering stench and we are going to get rid of that, too. ed: that's my point. lingering stench. his reaction to the story is that maybe rosenstein was plotting, i mean, i have even seen people in line this may be extreme saying this was a silent coup they were going after the president. my point is mccabe leaking this because is he under the gun. lisa page, fbi, page and strzok. all those text messages. strzok wasn't in the room but lisa page was in the room along with andrew mccabe we know they didn't like donald trump. they are under the gun. are they trying to get rosenstein in trouble, provoke the president into firing rosenstein and having a constitutional crisis u anna. there you go exactly. ed: prove donald trump is

unstable. anna: critics are saying he is trying to obstruct justice every time he says this is a witch-hunt and all that. pete: you are right. but it also feels like when you add it all up, you have got a lot of people that don't like this president in positions of power out or in finding ways to confuse the situation. make it look like is he obstructing they're on the side of virtue. if you are a viewer like me watching all of, this i can't even keep the names straight. anna. there is so many. such a deep web. pete: who is leaking and lying? who is joking and being sass car stick. ultimately they mate this president because they are part of the permanent political class in washington that were supposed to be in charge. hillary was going to win. they were going to keep on doing on. now is he taking on china and doing all the things they said they shouldn't do. and they don't like it. and, they are being he can expo. ed: a moment ago you said this not a big deal. pete: this is the "new york

post." this is a good into. you open up everyone else, they are not talking about this. it's russian collusion still. they can't get on the real scandal, which is the investigators who were underneath the tent trying to undo this presidency. that's where reporters are missing. anna: in your camp saying i feel disrespected. they think they're feeling disrespected because they voted this president in to office and then you have all these people trying to undermine him and get him out of office. ed: republican mat gates told tucker last night rosenstein should be brought before the house judiciary committee. he should go under oath. get the truth about what happened here. if he is not telling the truth. he should be fired. pete: hard to keep faith. ed: what do you think friends@foxnews.com? another breaking story we have to get to anna: the accuser of the supreme court justice nominee brett kavanaugh is granted yet another extension. ed: dr. christine blasey ford now has one more day to decide whether or not she will testify to the senate

judiciary committee. pete: our own gillian turner live in washington where the clock is ticking. jillian, good morning. >> the ball is now back in christine blasey ford court. writing in a tweet we have granted extension five times for dr. ford to decide if she wants to proceed with her desire stated one week ago she wants to tell the senate her story. dr. ford, if you have changed your mind, say so so we can move on. i want to hear your testimony. come to us or we to you. and then sounding rather beleaguered he added with all the extensions we gave dr. ford to decide if she still wants to testify to senate, i feel like i'm playing second trombone in the judiciary orchestra and schumer is the conductor. and the president doubling down on controversial twitter comments yesterday in which he said if the attack on dr. ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed. this sparked a nationwide why i didn't report hash tag

yesterday from victims of sexual abuse. >> we have to fight for him. not worry about the other side. by the way, women are for that more than anybody would understand. [cheers] >> gillian: senate judiciary democrats say all won't matter in the world when republicans are ignoring dr. ford's original position that a hearing prior to thursday isn't doable. senator feinstein writing in part, quote: dr. ford is receiving death threats. she has had her identity stolen and her email account hacked. she fled her home with her family. republicans want to rush her into a hearing. it's mean-spirited and candidly shows no empathy or sympathy whatsoever doctor ford's attorney reiterated last night her position that this deadline is arbitrary and sole purpose is to bully dr. ford and her family during a time of crisis. back to you. anna. no should have to go through that. that's terrible. most of them their

reputations are being sullied. ed: judge kavanaugh and his wife have been getting vile emails and death threats things we can't repeat on the air. so it shouldn't happen to dr. ford, it shouldn't happen to judge kavanaugh. we should get them both under oath this coming week as chuck grassley is trying to do and be heard. ainsley: he can respond to what the accusations actually are. pete: hear what they accuse you of. ed: kavanaugh go first. defending himself before she lays out the accusation. pete: i want to talk more about it but producers are saying we will talk more about it later. stay with us. we will talk more about it chuck grassley i think he is doing a good job: anna. first time reading headlines in two years. are you ready? turn to headlines, the man threatening to put a bullet in president trump's head behind bars. police finding sean christie with a gun in a ravine.

he is accused of posting the threat on facebook. writing he would kill any officer that tried catch him. he is facing three charges after being on the run for three months in six states. authority are warning it's not over yet as authorities attempt to clean up the devastation. people now fearing for the worse as a dam at a power plant in wilmington, north carolina is breachesd raising concerns of coal ash flowing into the river. the texas senate race takes a fiery return between ted cruz and democratic challenger bait toe o'rourke. >> it's striking that congressman o'rourke over and over and over again his focus seems to be for fighting for illegal immigrants and forgetting the millions of americans. you know, americans are dreamers also. >> we need to bring people out of the shadows allow them to get right by law and, yes, there should be an earned path to citizenship:

anna: during the faceoff o'rourke denied trying to flee the scene of a drunk driving crash. despite that police say the opposite. next debate the 30th of september. he had welcome back. you got the headlines right. pete: she doesn't need the welcome binder. ed: she has already been a employee. the economy firing on all cylinders, this week new statistic statistics show new milestones being broken. >> anna. politics in ice scream? are you kidding me? ben and jerry's latest has people baby boomers,

here's something you should know. there's a serious virus out there that 1 in 30 boomers has, yet most don't even know it. a virus that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. hep c can hide in the body for years without symptoms. left untreated it can lead to liver damage, even liver cancer. the only way to know if you have hep c is to ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us, it's time to get tested. it's the only way to know for sure.

for us, it's time to get tested. so why not bundle them with esurance and save up to 10%? which you can spend on things you really want to buy, like... well, i don't know what you'd wanna buy because i'm just a guy on your tv. esurance. it's surprisingly painless.

>> the stock market hit an all-time high again. your 401(k)s are up 50, 60, 70% in some cases. america is winning again. winning like never before. pete: that was president trump last night. new mile stongs this week, and they are padding americans pocketbooks. i don't own a pocketbook i'm going to say wallet. bench smart investments, kevin, thank you for being here this morning. >> thanks for having me. pete: the president touting economic success. is he overstating the case or are we in new territory here. >> no. is he not overstating the case. one of the reasons why you can't have monetary policy like the previous administration where you cut interest rates to zero. you need to have first call policy to stimulate the american engine. we haven't even scratched the surface yet. one of the reasons why i say

that we haven't had a full year of where tax have come down for american businesses. what we have had, we have seen american optimism go up on small business side. they are starting to hire a lot more. that's why you are seeing jobless claims down. that's why you are starting to see new order indexes go up. so you are seeing that companies are reinvesting in themselves as well as their people. pete: to me, that's the most important. here are all-time highs hit in the market, right? so from the dow, i think the s&p 500 we are hitting new marks. >> yeah. pete: which is an indicator. what i care about more than anything else is opportunity, wages, confidence, you are saying those things are moving -- it's not just your 401(k) it's your prospects as an employee. >> indicators are forward looking indicators. the stock market is actually forward-looking. someone is not going to buy a stock if they don't think it's going to group compared to the alternatives. we know interest rates are going up.

they think there is better opportunities. why is that? because of the policies when you have deregulation and when you stimulate the economy where you let companies decide how they want to spend their money, which is better than the government. you are seeing it go to higher and better uses. so, when you look at the leading economic indicators like i said new orders index, when you look at the jobs numbers, they're leading, right? because you are only going to invest in your property, your plant, your people if you think it's going to grow. we are seeing it take effect in the g.d.p. numbers. pete: another set of numbers, the household and nonprofit net worth rose by -- that's a big number, 2.19 trillion in the second quarter. what does that number mean? >> that means that basically what's happened is that the wealth effect has taken hold, that americans are doing exceptionally well in their retirement accounts and their investment accounts. the stock market has gone up. it means that the economy is growing, right? we are no longer in that sluggish below 2% g.d.p. growth.

when the economy grows, household wealth goes up. one of the biggest issues we had in june of 2015 is that the american middle class was actually at its lowest in 30 years. it's conception nallally growing month over month. pete: it's not president trump that gets credit it's the other guy. listen. >> the actions we took during the crisis turned the economy around. started the longest streak of job creation on record. >> yes. >> which continues to this day. so when you hear right now folks taking credit for this economic miracle, it's like hold um. >> can he take credit. >> he can't. the numbers speak for himself. if he wanted to have this type of growth he would have enacted the policies. he didn't enact the policies they took a stranglehold. we know obamacare actually hurt small businesses that's

why they came out and voted for donald j. trump. pete: he kept his foot on the brake and trump took it off and that's why we are here today. >> yes. there is no better way to put that if he wanted 4% g.d.p. growth he could have gotten it by unleashing the american engine. we wouldn't have had the highest corporate tax rate in the world in the united states if he wanted the economy to grow. pete: it's pro-business. the numbers can't lie. democratic leader, number two in commands, keith ellison forced to defend his own physical abuse allegations during a debate. what he said coming up. plus, president trump hitting the road this week on everything from kavanaugh's nomination to his progress in north korea. what do the voters think? we have the brand new dials coming up next. >> you remember before i came in, it looked like we were going to war with north korea. now we have made a lot of progress. relationships are getting

republicans gave b plus and independents a c and democrats d. ed: they sore anti-trump on everything but they only gave him a d. >> with that said, let her have her say. best thing the president said let's hear her out and have her say. that's the best response. anything else he says sounds like is he blaming the victim and that doesn't fly. anna: that's across the board. republicans have been saying let's hear what she has to. ed: president in las vegas. went to bread and butter from the 2016 campaign. watch. >> the forces opposing us in washington are the same people who squandered trillions of dollars overseas. the american people voted to reject this corrupt

globalism. i'm the president of the united states i'm not the president of the globe. [cheers] >> republicans can you barely see them. independents c plus the democrats an f. the notion we are not part of the global state does not resonate with democrats. they are very concerned about our position in the world. the republicans want america to come first. now, the thing i'm most concerned about this week is the independent vote. because they are really riding the middle in almost everything he said. for the most part we have seen throughout the duration of the presidency a lot of independents will give the president credit for a lot of these kinds of things. right now, they are feeling kind of neutral, that's not good going into mid terms. anna: moving into north korea now the president is not using the term little rocket man you i haven't heard him say in a while. >> a lot of progress being

made on north korea. a lot of progress. do you remember before i came in, it looked like we were going to war with north korea. now we have made a lot of progress. relationships are getting better and better. [cheers] >> and we have our hostages back and no more nuclear testing. and no more testing of missiles and rockets over japan. we're doing well. ed: democrats here saying maybe he gets credit. >> that is interesting thing when you talk about north korea, democrats will give him credit. they gave him a c minus. independents a b, republicans an a. more than looking at dials, when we did the survey we asked people how they reacted. you know what? this was a threat. the president has done a good job on this particular issue. it's not completely polarized right now. people are willing to listen to certain issues. overall right now i think it's important, again that we look at that independent line. they are just not siding with the president as much as they have throughout the last year.

yesterdayened installed the virtue us of the hegseth in the green room. ed just knows i love him. ed: we have to tee you up on this because the president talking about a stench and then you get this "new york times" leak saying rod rosenstein, whether he was serious or he claims it was sarcastic, joking, the deputy attorney general joking about secretly recording the president and discussing the 25th amendment. >> you know, ed, there are things you joke about and there are things you just don't. now, you would think this would be common sense when you are the deputy attorney general of the united states. joking about removing a duly elected president due to a mental or physical incapacitation when is he not incapacitated is not a joke. the fact that we're having this conversation on a national cable broadcast is disturbing in and of itself. did he not know this? to be fair to rod rosenstein like he hasn't been to us in many cases, people covering this spy gate debacle. he is denying. this but these memos, remember, ed, these were

written, these memos, by senior officials at the fbi. mccabe and lisa page allegedly was in the room, who is a lawyer. so the denials are quite weak. listen, rod rosenstein at this point has got to go. he has to be fired. there is a rumor throughout this is some set up by the media. i don't care about any of that. pete: what happens if he gets fired? the palace intrigue is what everyone wants to talk about. you fire the guy in charge of the special counsel. is there a cascading effect the media will run with forever? anna: first he got rid of comey and where is this going to end that's what they will say. >> i get the point there is always going to be political ramifications. sometimes, pete, you have to do the right thing. if this was the first strike against rosenstein i would say okay, maybe the politics aren't worth it. it's not. there are multiple strikes. rod rosenstein signed the fourth fisa warrant. why does that matter the third renewal, the fourth fisa. it matters because by the time in june by the time the

fourth fisa warrant was sworn to the facts developed in the spygate case indicating that one donald trump was spied on. two information one at the operation at the department of justice and three there may very well have been a set up of members of his team and yet he still signed off on it it's time for him to go at this point. pete: he knew better by then. ed: confirmation battle for judge brett kavanaugh. you have dr. ford, supposed to be testifying next week. there are still hangups about whether she will come forward. interesting side note perhaps, perhaps not a side note. a lot of people in the media not talking about it one of her advisors used to work for joe biden all kinds of democrats the clintons and whatnot her lawyer debra katz, one of the lawyers somebody on camera. pete: before you toss to this imagine if a republican was caught doing this and the same thing was on camera. ed: the advisor and the attorney and what they said on tape.

watch. >> in the coming days and weeks there will be a strategy that will emerge and i think it's possible that that strategy might ultimately defeat the nominee. >> we're going to fight that we are going to read. this. ed: attorney katz says rear going to resist. advisor was saying pete, to your point. there is a strategy that's coming. this was weeks ago. we are going to defeat the nominee. was the strategy we have got a woman that we are going to bring out? >> yeah. this was not a good hiring decision here. if you are looking to take the o optics of bad politics of what are very serious charges being leveled by dr. ford here, then this certainly was obviously not the way to handle it the problem i'm having with this entire operation so far is it seems like they are creating insurmountable

obstacles. in other words this isn't a negotiation intent on actually getting dr. ford to tell her story, which according to her words, they wanted out there. they will wanted this story out there. well, that doesn't appear to be the case. i mean, think about the one request, right? for mr. kavanaugh, judge kavanaugh to go first. how? how would he go first? to rebut a charge that hasn't been made? these are the kind of things people say when they're not serious about actually getting -- ed: undermine what might be a real claim from dr. ford. we want to hear from her. her advisors and attorneys are out there saying resist. pete: political vultures on top of someone that may be. anna: a real victim that is hurting inside. >> and i don't think that's going to play very well at this point. i think it's obvious that -- senator grassley has been more than fair. we will fly out to you. we will fly you. in we will do it private. we will do it publicly. we just need to hear your story. it now appears, i think a lot of people are starting

to see this. they are not really intent on getting dr. ford's story out there. they are intent on insurmountable obstacle strategy that's going to drag this out past thursday. anna: unfortunate if he does get through the confirmation this story line is going to be lingering in history. ed: dan bongino author of podcaster and officially a suck up to anna, good to have you.

unknown about brain aneurisms than what we know and we don't know why they develop or when they develop. do they develop at birth? are you born with them? do they develop over the life? you know, we just really don't know. anna: i had a friend in colleges who mom died it's so hard because it's so startling and sudden you don't have a chance to say goodbye and when you don't know what's causing it how do you prevents it you are on a campaign to raise awareness. >> my mom died of a brain aneurism when i was 14 years old. she was an actress on a cbs soap opera. the night before it was two days after christmas and the night before we were practicing her lines. she wakes up in the morning in bed and says i have this tremendous headache was unconscious, died in the hospitals three days later. the cruelty and the aneurisms are cruel, they are heartless. they are unforgiving because you could be in perfect health and here one moment and then you are gone. so far more widespread than we think. people have been coming out of the woodwork saying that

family members they have lost and there are ways to prevent. this and the lisa foundation that todd has started is finally addressing this nationally. trying to talk about the symptoms. trying to get the medical community to recognize it more and do something. did you go to the doctor, it's got that list of family. there is heart attack, cancer, not to diminish those. ed: diabetes. >> brain aneurism isn't on the list it says other. anna: how do we prevent it? >> there are a lot of warning signs that you can look for to begin with that people should. worst headache of life, stiffness of neck, sharp pain above or one of your eyes, sensitivity to light and many others which we list on our website lisa foundation.org. if somebody is experiencing one of those symptoms, or if there is a fame history, then they should seek out consultation. symptoms they should seek out emergency medical attention. you know, right away. because time is of the essence. brain aneurisms can be

treated. ruptures can be prevented. the scanning is available. mri, mra. >> there is a scan called mra ask your doctor about that. i didn't even know about it that i have it's hereditary. i'm at risk. did i not know until i met todd and through the great work of the lisa foundation. ed: eric anded to, thank you for sharing your personal stories. supreme standoff judge kavanaugh's accuser has one more day to testify. how will it play out? ed: time for kids to take the fun indoors. kurt the cyberguy show us the coolest gaming gear. rick is all over it. that's next. >>

get to this fox news alert. talking about that man, judge brett kavanaugh who wants to face his accuser on monday but so far dr. ford and her legal team will not agree; instead they have set all of these conditions including the idea that judge kavanaugh would have to testify under oath first, denying allegations that she has not yet lodged under oath. pete: that's right. so no lawyers. ultimately, he has to testify before her, which seems opposite. ed: why would she want no lawyers? she wants the 11 male republicans to question her and wants the optics. anna: can you imagine? pete: we want the truth. we should give credit to the chairman of the senate judiciary committee chuck grassley who has said in california, in d.c., privately, publicly, whatever you want, we want to hear what you have to say. he tweeted last night because the deadline for her to decide whether or not she would testify was 10:00 last night. so he took to twitter last

night while you were sleeping and i was, too. and tweeted these three tweets. he said five times now we have granted extension for dr. ford to decide if she wants to proceed with her desire stated one week ago that she wants to testify to tell her story. dr. ford, if you changed your mind, say so so we can move on. you i want to hear your testimony. come to us or we to you. judge kavanaugh. i just granted another extension to dr. ford to decide if she wants to proceed with the statement she made last week to testify to the senate. she should decide so we can move on. i want to hear her. i hope you understand it's not my normal approach to be indecisive. he went on to say with all the extensions we give dr. ford to decide if she still wants to testify to the senate, i feel like i'm playing second trombone in the judiciary orchestra and schumer is the conductor. ed: this is being run by the senate democratic leadership. that's the point. political move. anna: kick the can down the

line. ed: they want to delay. anna: delay, delay, delay until after the mid terms and hoping there is upset there. ed: this started last sunday in the "the washington post" where dr. ford went on the record for the first time and said. pete: forced to go on the record. she wanted to be private. someone on the democrat side leaked this for political advantage. she wanted to be private. she tried to be private. you have to give her that credit. anna: really unfortunate for her. pete: political pawn. ed: said she wanted to be heard. chuck grassley and other republicans said we want to hear from you. here bottom line why were these charges not taken more seriously by dianne feinstein in july when she first got the charges? anna: did she think they were credible? ed: excuse was dr. ford wanted to remain anonymous. ways to talk to her in private. there are ways if they really wanted an fbi. we have anonymous charge. we wanting to protect her. we don't want to hurt her we

want to hear her story. we want to get the truth. we want to know whether or not this man should be on the supreme court or not. pete: senator type stein you don't have to do it in committee good for you. long standing member of senate respected on both sides of the aisle privately in your meeting with kavanaugh hey, i heard. this. ed: withheld and didn't ask kavanaugh face to face that wreaks of politics. anna: story everyone talking about this saturday morning and this one as well new report in the "new york times" that deputy attorney general rod rosenstein apparently wanted to wear a wire to record president trump in some interactions with him to expose what he called utter chaos in the white house. this is what is being asserted by the "new york times" and also that he had discussions about invoking the 25th amendment to remove the president from office. pete: give some context on this. ed: may 2017 meeting. context happened right after james comey had been fired as fbi director. who was in the room is very important. had you rosenstein there you

had top fbi people like then acting director andrew mccabe. pete: what about lisa? oh, she was there too. steve: page/strzok text messages. bottom line had you people talking about what was happening in the west wing of the white house. raises the question to me and others who leaked the story now and what's their motive? chief suspect is mccabe because is he under federal investigation. he is in a corner for lying and leaking. and so now maybe you put this story out there and you get rod rosenstein exposed. he is denying that he ever said this or mental it seriously. that it was just sort of a sarcastic joke, the idea of wiretapping the president. and so is this about mccabe and others who are under fire for their own behavior, trying to provoke the president into firing rosenstein and then having some sort of a constitutional crisis? pete: rosen sometime denies. this he put out a statement talking about the fact that he denies it i think we have it right here. he said i never pursued or authorized recording the president and any suggestion

that i ever advocated for the removal of the president is absolutely false. is he saying it's not true. if you are the president. you say okay. my attorney general has recused himself from basically day one. rod rosenstein's joking about -- i bet he probably was joking, who knows joking about. this who has my back and fair arbiter in that department? lisa page is there andy mccabe is leaking. it still feels like you don't have someone there who is trying to do justice by what happened to you or current circumstances. you can understand the frustration. anna: president trump is saying that hey, look, this is all basically people who don't like me. who have from day one tried to undermine me and, in turn, basically the american people who voted me in to office. pete: that's right. ed: people are wondering will this provoke the president from firing rosenstein. he didn't directly necessarily address this story but he went after the fbi and doj and might have given us a hingts. watchingts -- hint. watch.

>> just look at what now is being exposed in our department of justice and the fbi. look at what's going on. look at what's going on. i want to tell you. we have great people in the department of justice. we have great people. these are people, i really believe you take a poll, i have got to be at 95%. you have some real bad ones, you are seeing what's happened at the fbi. they are all gone. they are all gone. they're all gone. [cheerl[cheers] >> there is a lingering stench and we are going to get rid that too. pete: easy to say, ed, he should be fired but there is a cass indicating effect to that just-like comey which the president feels like was the right move. you fire rosenstein now. anna: what are people going to say. pete: we had dan bongino on the program earlier. he weighed in on what you should do at this point to rosenstein. listen. >> rod rosenstein at this

point has got to go. he has to be fired. if this was the first strike against rosenstein, i would say okay, maybe the politics aren't worth it. pete, it's not. one, donald trump was spied on. two information one during operation at the department of justice. and, three, there may very well have been a set-up of members of his team. and, yet, he still signed off on it. it is time for him to go at this point. pete: ed, can you imagine how your colleagues in the media would treat this if he fired rosenstein. ed: it would be a four or five alarm fire. i think the president might also think, you know what? they are going to say this about this anyway. they already accused me about obstruction of justice. furious about rosenstein looking like he was plotting to take the president down. the president may act any way. matt gaetz republican from florida told tucker last night rosenstein must come before the house usual area committee under oath to say exactly what happened after this 2017 meeting. played out the way mccabe in his memo suggests, gates says rosenstein should be

ed: after a rather chaotic week for the supreme court process. christine blasey ford granted another extension. how will this all play out. tom bevan real clear politics. how are you. >> good, how are you? ed: let's start with the idea dr. ford finally combings to some sort of agreement with chairman grassley in the next day or so and testifies early next week. what do you think could happen? >> it depends on her testimony if she comes forward and credible and sympathetic and kavanaugh's response is not, that's the only scenario in which can you see votes, i think, move on this. because, you know, we are talking about an audience really otherwise of about five or six people, right in the red state democrats who are up for re-election. ed: right. >> couple of republicans collins and murkowski on the republican side. ed: let's brake those down.

let's say it breaks down and she refuses to testify. what do you think happens? >> they are going to hold a vote. i think republicans vote him out of committee and he gets -- kavanaugh gets confirmed. ed: and then what if she does testify but is not credible? it turns out that maybe this story doesn't add up. maybe there is some holes? >> yeah. if her story does not hold up under questioning and testimony, and, again, if kavanaugh's rebuttal is strong and solid and republicans feel you know, is he convincing, i think same thing will happen. democrats obviously will vote against him anyway. but i think, you know, collins and murkowski will likely stick whim and he will get confirmed. ed: many democrats have come out before the hearings, the previous hearings, so, regardless of what happens, they have already been no votes. what if kavanaugh, who has been very direct in the last few days in saying this never happened, what if she comes forward, she is credible. and kavanaugh under the hot lights turns out, maybe is he a little weaker than we thought? >> right. so that's the scenario where you could see votes move.

right? obviously the red state democrats would vote probably, they would flip their votes and vote against him. and then you would look at collins and murkowski and perhaps even a couple of other republican senators. if kavanaugh, if his denials do not hold up, and she is credible and sympathetic, you could see that's a scenario where you could see his nomination not go through the senate. that's probably the only scenario. ed: real quick on that point before we go to the last scenario. you are saying the red state democrats joe donnelly, joe manchin up for re-election in a state president trump carried by double digits. they are on the fence right now. if she is credible. they may say i just can't vote for this nominee. >> exactly. i mean, right now the polling shows that, you know, if they vote against kavanaugh. they would pay a price for that among, you know, republicans in that state and independents in their states. but, if they have a credible excuse for voting against him, i think politically it won't hurt him and heidi heitcamp is another one in that situation as well.

ed: what if they both give credible testimony, there is a strong case against kavanaugh and he comes back hard under oath, we're at a dead lock, what happens? >> i think we are back to square one which all the republicans are sort in the same position. and all the democrats are in the same position. that's a scenario where you might see a couple of votes switch, but, you again, most likely outcome from that scenario is that kavanaugh gets confirmed by the skin of his teeth. ed: you are deadlocked and vice president pence potentially as the tie breaking vote. tom bevan, thank you for coming. >> in thanks, ed. ed: battle opioid epidemic. important story. how will it actually help? a mother and son who have dealt with the horror of opioids. they share their story next. plus, banned from praying? a high school football team's faith, yes, under fire. that's coming up.

group. love their child and be with them without the process and without overdoing it and being overbearing. it makes a difference. it allows the child to get sober themselves if they choose to do that. when they want to make the change, they make the change. and it's possible. so it's possible for anybody. anna: again, one of the things that just paused in this vote 99-1 is more treatment clernt centers. is there anything you like in this bill or don't like about it. >> i'm a big fan of the bill. i think it's a start in the right direction. the only thing i will say i don't like -- not don't like but think could have been done better or as sooner, i think this has been going on for a long time. pete jay, you run a treatment center. you are there. now you are helping people who are there. on the ground. what's the crisis like right now? >> we see it every day.

the bill fights to stop fentanyl from crossing the border. whether it's u.s. postal system from china or from mexico but we deal with this on a regular basis. kids overdosing because they think they are doing heroin when really they are doing fentanyl which is 50 times as strong as heroin. they do the same amount and next thing you know they are dead. i'm making that phone call to a parent like my mother just said she waited for that call. i'm making that call to parents and expressing that this is what happened to their kid. pete: how do you address that crisis, someone comes to you? >> in what way? pete: a son or daughter comes to you. they are addicted? >> in florida, we would put them into our treatment center. we would start that process. the first step obviously is the detoxification. get them off the drugs. they will go through withdrawal period. they have to get off the drugs. and then bring them into treatment.

they do counseling. psychotherapy. anna: it doesn't work for some people because they are not ready to go. how do you get your kid or loved one ready? >> you have to be ready the parent can never get the loved one, the k450eu8d, the husband, the brother. you can't get them to be ready. it's a personal choice you have to get through yourself. hit that bottom. and we all create that bottom? pete: were you there at that bottom? >> i was just going to say jay had many bottoms, you always think that's the bottom. and so a court incidents which we have had many back in the day, jay had a particular court incident when he was in his early 20's, and our lawyer, who we love, he suggested send him to florida, jill, please, dear god, send him to florida. so we did. it was the hardest thing i could do but i did. he got actually sober for nine months and i was thinking yes, that's what we want. and then he used again and that was for several years. and then finally.

report "new york times" suggested he wear a wire in an effort to remove president trump. a source telling fox news the comment was a case of sarcasm. was it just a joke or more. here to weigh in the host of judicial watch tom fitton. thanks for being here. joke or not joke. does it add to the sense that the those within the president's own justice department are working against him? >> oh, it certainly does. it helps explain why they appointed mr. rosenstein specifically as special counsel to target him, despite having no good reason to make the appointment. and the story really isn't about the justice department and the fbi and meetings about donald trump. it's about the basis of the mueller investigation. and it shows you the mueller investigation was based on little more than personal animosity by top fbi leadership and rod rosenstein, evidently angry that he was being held accountable for his

involvement in key decision-making related to comey's removal. pete: sure. >> they target the trump with an harassing special counsel as a result. pete: he, of course, wrote the memo that in some part was a justification for comey's firing. but, just when you think those inside, who are resisting this president are gone or being fired, you get a reminder that they are still there. so when folks criticize this president for being critical of his doj or the fbi. not the ronk and file but the high level leadership. it's hard to not understanding where he is coming from. >> exactly. and he probably feels hand cuffed as a result of the mueller special counsel in the sense that anything he does with respect to the justice department and fbi in terms of cleaning house, is going to be met with charges of obstruction of justice. you can't fire -- well, just now, rosenstein quite credibly, frankly, is accused of talking about trying to record the president, joke or no joke, and talking about using the 25th amendment. and his statements really haven't shot much of that

down in any substantial way. pete: it's true like a non-denial denial. should he be fired? you understand the politics. what should be done? i think the president should shut down the mueller investigation. rosenstein being fired is a separate issue from the crisis caused by the ongoing mueller investigation and a justice department that deems itself out of control in the sense that it doesn't answer to the president. doesn't answer to the congress. so you are going to have rosenstein 2.0? i don't know. pete: tom fitton, talk about an impossible situation. appreciate your work. thank you for joining us this morning. >> you are welcome. thank you. pete: ted cruz and bait toe o'rourke they both want to be senators. go head to head for the first time in a debate, watch. >> we need a u.s. nature who will stand up to this president. >> i have worked hand in hand with the president on substance. pete: will their debate which was fiery, will it make a difference to voters in that key senate race? that's coming up next.

fired is in the "new york times" today. some are suggesting whether he was serious or joking about it some say he wanted to wear a wire to potentially record trump they talked about the 25th amendment. ed: rod rosenstein. pete: the has he compromised himself? >> if he did it, he has. now we need to have a hearing to determine that there needs to be an fbi investigation. or an investigation by the inspector general. let's call witnesses. the people who were in the room with him. let's find out what his tone was. let's find out if there were any memos. you know, has not categorically denied it he said i never followed up on it i never implemented it but if he said it, you know. ed: i never pursued or authorized recording the president a suggestion i ever advocated for the removal. it leaves a lot of room i never advocated but i thought about it. >> if i were a lawyer and

cross-examining him on that statement, wow. ed: you are licking your chops. anna: he goes on to say he doesn't feel like in his experience with the president that he ought to be impeached. >> he said he shouldn't be subject to the 25th amendment. the 25th amendment obviously is inapplicable here. the 25th amendment was designed to what happened with woodrow wilson he had a stroke and couldn't govern or temporarily what happened to ronald reagan he was shot and had to turn over to the vice president. it wasn't intended to remove a president who you disagree with his policies or you think the white house is in disarray. anna: right. >> that's unconstitutional use. pete: professor, so if you are the president of the united states, you have a attorney general who has recused himself. >> right. pete: you have a deputy attorney general in charge of the probe who allegedly saying these things, how do you have faith that you are getting justice from your justice department. >> you don't. you don't have faith. and if he were not being investigated at this point,

if the president were not being investigated by special counsel, it would have taken 30 seconds to fire both the attorney general and the deputy attorney general. but, because is he being investigated, many republicans are telling him it would backfire. you can't do that you can't be deemed. pete: should he anyway? >> that's a political question, not a legal question. can i tell you, this he has a perfect right to do it lylely. he can do it without being guilty of obstruction of justice. look, you are entitled to have a deputy attorney general who is not snooping around the white house. trying to get people to get you removed from office. you know, the job of attorney general is very schizophrenic, on the one hand a member of the cabinet loyal to the president. on the other hand loyal to law enforcement. it's a very schizophrenic job. a deputy attorney general not trying to get rid of you under the 25th amendment. ed: normally we would love to have you on the other big

story. you are a sharp legal mind. and i wonder you told us before we started privately that you thought there was some parallels here to the rosenstein story and the kavanaugh, brett kavanaugh story. >> sure, he said, she said, he said, he said. we need to get evidence. i don't like when i hear from democratic members saying we believe her. you never met her. you don't know her or know about her. we believe him. he has testified. but, still, let's have evidence. john adams said facts are difficult things. and you can't get away from them. we need facts on both of those issues. the one thing that's clear where is the american civil liberties union protecting the rights civil liberties of both of these people. she has to go first. if you are a civil libertarian you don't want to go back to the day was of the inquisition. they would call some poor guy. in we are not telling you what you are accused of or who your accuser is we want you to testify and then we

will present your accusers. that's not the way it works in america. the accuser goes first. she gets cross-examined. then the accused has an opportunity to respond. anna: what do you make about the request of her attorneys, the request that they made of no lawyers, just the lawmakers instead, and he goes first rather than her going first? >> second, just dead wrong. every civil libertarian should want her to go first. as far as lawyers are concerned. if i were being intiergated i would much rather be intear garretted by senators. most of these guys don't know how to ask questions and follow up jess. waiting for staffers to hand cards. american public benefits if you have an experienced, hopefully woman lawyer who is sensitive to issues of sexual abuse who will not use it as an occasion to try to demean a woman who may well be a victim, we don't know that yet. what we need are a good lawyer who knows how to frame questions, follow-up questions, cross-examination. why should anyone.

anna: request was it was politically motivated that the optics would not look good it was the lawmakers. >> optics never look good when lawmakers ask questions because they are largely not -- there are some exceptions. ted criticize icruz is a great d knows how to ask. some of these senators don't know how to ask questions. pete: saw brett kavanaugh on brs lawyer, and most much the women defending brett kavanaugh know him, went to school with him, dated him, whatever. they know him. whereas most of the people who say i believe her have never met him or her. does that matter in the court -- it's a court of public opinion right now, should that matter for lawyers and the process as well? >> when we hear both pieces of testimony, it certainly does matter. look, i don't think anybody disputes that brett kavanaugh as an adult, as led exemplary life. great marriage, great kids, contributes to the church. my god you would want this guy to be the babysitter of

your kids or guardian for your kids when you die. is he fantastic. but it doesn't answer the question. 15-year-olds, 17-year-olds do things that they are ultimately ashamed of later in life. so, it's not conclusive evidence. i wanting to hear conclusive evidence. pete: it's important but not conclusive. >> hard question is are they going to be are they going to question him about his sex life when he was 17? did you drink a lot? what did you do? when did you first? those are going to be, you know, they are relevant but maybe we are going to get a situation which we object to women doing it improperly so. going back into the sex life of a woman. when he is accused of being a predator at 17. at least i would like to know what he was like as a 17-year-old. that's relevant although i think ultimately the question that congress and the senate will have to decide is a hard question. ed: someone else gotten involved in this is hillary clinton. >> oh, god. ed: oh god might be the best reaction. here is what she said should

happen. >> i'm hoping that at some point there will be an agreement to have an investigation. it would be very easy for the fbi to go back and finish the background investigation to investigate these charges. and, you know, maybe find out there is nothing to them. maybe find out there is something to them, at least have that investigation complete you had. and i think that's what is a fair request for due process to be asked for. >> i agree 100 per sent with the content of what she said. there ought to be an investigation. but did she want an investigation when allegations were made against president clinton? did she want a thorough investigation? you can't. ed: or her email server. pete: not did they not want them they trashed the accuser, heavily. >> that's why i wish she had stayed out of this. you have to pass the shoe on the other foot test. what is good for an investigation of kavanaugh has to have been good for an investigation of clinton. good for an investigation of

and intoxicated and the victim or the alleged victim admitted to being intoxicated as well. the credibility and to stop someone's future because of something that happened 36 years ago is ridiculous in my opinion. and it's not what we should be using. we should be looking at his track record as a federal judge, his track record as a coach of a girl's sports team, a father, a son. what about those things? we shouldn't go back. we have all made silly mistakes and not to say he did this. anna: grassley said we will do this in california, and d.c. and public or private, how do we get to the truth. >> we get to the truth where the fbi continues to work. i teach constitutional law. what we always teach is that this has been done repeatedly. the fbi background check that came out after anita hill's allegation two weeks the fbi took to investigate. john tower, same time frame. there is time to investigate and there is time to hold a hearing so we can get to the truth. if kisha is right and there is no evidence there, he should be confirmed to the

election. a lot of people in your party or where you will not be able to deliver on that. >> ,we continue to fight for funding for the wall. we have had some votes in the house on direct funding for the border wall to fully fund the presidents -- >> but doesn't happen. i respect that but it hasn't happened. a promise made after an election is not always a promise that can be what if you -- how can grassroots folks trust that this will happen? >> we surely don't want to be in the minority because nancy pelosi will not only fund the wall, she wants to abolish i.c.e. we are clear about that. elections are also about accountability. we've had actual votes on the house floor to fully fund the wall. we will continue to have votes on the house floor to find the presidents priorities including border security for the wall and there were also people voting against this. they will be held accountable for this.

>> i believe her. she prepared to testify the united states senate against someone is being nominated to one of the most powerful positions in the united states government, it takes an extraordinary amount of courage! >> i do not think women need to be heard they need to be believed. >> i think the men in the country just shut up and step up! do the right thing.>> i believe doctor ford, i believe the survivor here. >> i believe her, i stand with

her. >> i believe professor ford. i think she is credible. >> let's bring in geraldo rivera, our fox news contributor. >> hello. >> of many people believe her without meeting her why didn't dianne feinstein do something about this in july? >> i do not credit the sincerity of any of that. i see a gigantic chess match. the democrats are trying their best to delay the ascension to the high court of judge kavanaugh or any judge who would be you know, a threat to roe versus wade. republicans want this as fast as possible because of the chance that they lose the senate in the midterms. and the kavanaugh nomination goes the way of merrick garland. 18 months ago. so put against that backdrop, you have this case, this 30 odd year old case of attempted rap , alleged attempted rape in high school between a

15-year-old and a 17-year-old. criminally, there is no chance on the prudence in this country could ever be criminally prosecuted but is it enough to sabotage the confirmation of kavanaugh to the supreme court of the united states? we have to hear from this complaining witness. we have to hear from doctor ford. >> but the democratic senator from hawaii says you should shut up. and stand up instead. no really, this is what is happening. she said enough, she is to believed. and of course, we should here because this is what senator dianne feinstein said, who was first given the allegation in a statement recently she said, bullying a survivor of attempted rape in order to confirm and many particularly anytime she is receiving death threats, is an extreme abuse of power. now, richard blumenthal also said there are arbitrary and irrational deadline is a rush to silence a survivor.

so the accusation is that she's being bullied and silenced. even the chuck grassley, senator on the committee has said, anytime, anywhere, public/private. you can testify. so is this really about the truthor is this about grandstanding and politics . >> i discount all of these fiery rhetorical statements. men sit down or this is about search for the truth. i think you have to see what is going on. this is a war about abortion. that's what this is about. it is the economy -- roe versus wade is at stake. people felt passionately about the issue. doctor ford's specific case demands as much due process and equal justice as the system can provide. senator grassley did the right thing last night.

by saying that he would come his latest deadline, 10:00 last night eastern time was the absolute and all if she did not testify or say that she was going to testify by then. that she would not have another chance.then at 10:01 pm he said never mind, will give her another reasonable time. she has got to come forward. the people who want kavanaugh to be confirmed must be patient. released in the short term. give her every opportunity to give her testimony so that the accused, a person who was on the verge of going to the supreme court of the united states, and now is the 11th hour, he has had his fate turned into turmoil. he gets the chance to rebut the witness -- >> then if chuck grassley keeps saying nevermind, have another 12 hours, it is making a mockery of this. and you know democrats want to delay this. >> democrats want to delay, republicans want to steam forward. let's find some compromise time. maybe later next week. you know, why make it

artificial deadline. if she says she was to come on tuesday and then thursday. >> a week does not matter. you run on a schedule, you go to the midterm, majorities change, the balance of the supreme court changes. >> it is a lifetime appointment. >> i think it is a lifetime appointment -- but no one wants to -- [multiple speakers] >> we want to get to the truth. let's get to the truth. finally we need to get to another big story. "the new york times" bombshell report about rod rosenstein. they are certain that he wanted to wear a wire to expose utter chaos going on the white house. he even discussed possibly invoking the 25th amendment. what do you make of all of this? >> i think that this is like the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, if rod rosenstein was joking.

or being sarcastic, this like the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff joking and dropping a nuclear weapon on moscow or beijing. it is absolutely appalling! i think there should be an inspector general checked out. rod rosenstein, i think that his fate should not be determined in with the inspector general fines. was he a saboteur? is he trying to undermine the president?the 25th amendment, my goodness! talk about a nuclear option. it is when the president is incapacitated. the vice president and the majority and the cabinet, for rosenstein to joke about that he should choke on that. >> gravity is breathtaking. geraldo, we appreciate you coming in. >> thank you.

>> democrats demanding an investigation into judge kavanaugh but where is the outrage over accusations of abuse facing the vice chair of the dnc, ellison. he is running for attorney general still number two at the dnc. his opponent joins us coming up next. is my competitive edge. it senses our movements and automatically adjusts to keep us both effortlessly comfortable. so i'm at my best for this team... and the home team. sleep number proven quality sleep, from $999. >> welcome back to many

democrats jumped quickly on the allegations against judge brett kavanaugh. demanding that americans need to listen to the accusers testimony. but some republicans and i wondering where the outrage is over accusations against minnesota attorney general, candidate and current number two at the dnc, keith ellison.

as he was forced to depend himself against abuse allegations during a debate last night in minnesota. listen. >> though this is not multiple cases. we were in a long-term relationship and it ended two years ago. to days before the primary she made allegations. it is not true there's an ongoing investigation which we hope will conclude -- >> will come before the election? >> i don't know. >> own nest guest, doug wardlow, running against keith ellison as attorney general. he joins me now with his reaction. thank you for joining us? we asked keith ellison to join us but he declined.this morning, he had a debate last night. she said his national conversation, accuses against brett kavanaugh.we have a directallegation, less than a year ago against your opponent , of physical abuse from his girlfriend documented. what should democrats be doing and what should keith ellison be doing at this point? >> right. thank you for having me on.

it is stunning that hypocrisy is just astounding. last night keith ellison denied the allegations again. two allegations from two different women of domestic abuse in 2005 and then in 2016, karen monahan. nothing is being done. the democrats, national democrats, state democrats, they say they are doing investigation but is just an investigation by friends. they've not said when it will be done or what would conclude. i'm not holding my breath. there should be a full hearing of miss karen monahan and her story and there should be an investigation. tom foley, and the democrat called for a criminal investigation. into these allegations. i think it would be appropriate. >> there is no minor comparison, keith ellison, not just a congressman or candidate, number two of the democratic party. we know the name, christine ford. few people know the name karen monahan. she alleged his abuse, with the dr. to be documented.

why the double standard with karen monahan, she acknowledges he was the girlfriend and he says she's making it up. why is she not to be believed? >> that is exactly right. hypocrisy is astounding. it is a terrible double standard. he is the chair of the dnc, and he has pledged to use the office of attorney general to go after donald trump. the democrats seem to be protecting him because they want that war against the president. it's just wrong. >> is a top lieutenant resistance no doubt. the minnesota ag office has not gone for republican in 40 years. can you win the seat? >> absolutely! one paul has us tied at 41, have a chance to retire keith ellison from politics but it

would be a good thing. conservatives around the country encourage you to visit our website. get involved in the campaign. >> you trying to retire him in minnesota. we will see of democrats do the same. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> still ahead, national hunting and fishing day. we have cabela's here to celebrate outdoor sports coming up.♪ ♪ [music] ♪ [music] -my pleasure. -ice dispenser, find me a dog sitter. -okay. -and make ice. -pizza delivered. -what's happened to my son? -i think that's just what people are like now. i mean, with progressive, you can quote your insurance on just about any device. even on social media. he'll be fine. -[ laughs ]
