hate. jillian: so what needs to happen now and how do we work on bringing america together, uniting all of us, here to weigh in muslim scholar, thank you for your time this morning, what do you think is the first priority? >> i think the first priority to follow the president's lead, antisemitism is to be condemned bru also outlaw it in the united states. we would like to president to make clear it's time every school in this nation has one day in teaching holocaust and genocide. i think the other thing there's legal precedent, we know when somebody writes all jews must die that that can lead to act where somebody enters a place of worship and jews are killed. if we do not outlaw that speech, without closing down free speech in america where people can say

hurtful things and offensive things but they cannot say lethal things which we know there's so much precedent to that. to rewandan genocide they did criminalize and imprisoned song priors who incited genocide. international courts have outlawed this and no matter we condemn all hatreds against any minority in the country, antisemitism leads to genocide. rob: we have seen hints over and over again. we see the killers leave a trail sometimes on social media that that kind of indicate where they are headed and there are the hints. >> we know from the nazis they were masses of rhetoric. they lead to murder. we can help our president. i'm a muslim, i'm with the foundation, the shoah foundation, the director is christian. people of all faiths are coming

said, 1957 rights bill was the n word bill or allegedly said that i will have those in words voting democrats for the next 200 years, the democrats have had stronghold on black vote and what's disenfranchising for the african-american community the party that have not made difference in lives of african americans, what i can appreciate by president trump in 2016 election, this was an individual, listen, i want to come and help the black community, democratic party has used an abused the black community, you've gotten nothing for your support of them and now we are seeing what candace is doing and fully support and endorse campaign in terms of african americans leaving the democrat party, they've turned on the narrative on its head. you are getting two options, we need democrats and republicans making legitimate and authentic effort ifs for black vote and

i'm very excited to see this on the republican side. jillian: you mentioned what the president said during the election, let's take a look at the a poll right now from the black community support for trump during the election versus now and during the election as you can see 5% approval but right now it's 11%, gianno, your conversations with community, family and friends does everyone agree on that that it's going going up right now? >> you can see a difference in african americans, there's been things that president trump said that a lot of folks haven't liked myself included, but for the most part when we talk about economic indicators, we are seeing uptick in that, in 2016 president trump won 8% of the black vote overall, double-digits when it came to black men, now we are seeing the fact that he's working on prison reform which you know really impact it is black community the largest, we are seeing the lowest unemployment numbers in the history of our country for

african americans, we continue to see upward trajectory when it comes to blacker americans' progress in the country. when we look at those things i can do nothing but say, listen, we've done great work and more to do but the truth of the matter is him and his administration is at the table looking to do that more work so democrats, of course, are pissed off because they never seen a republican president go after african american support as president trump has and this is something that's truly something that we can look forward to seeing from the administration. jillian: work not done any time soon. al sharpton said that it seems like a staged rally, he said that why are we not talking about chicago and other issues but gianno, you know, i know chicago has been a point of conversation for a long time now? do we need to be doing more? >> it has been, it has been and president trump has been discussing it. i have been talking to the administration about resources

being deployed into chicago and i know that there are things they are interested in doing with the opportunity zones throughout the entire country where you know there's about 8 -- i believe thousands of opportunities throughout the country which we are talking about people who are unemployed, the lowest -- highest unemployment rate communities of poverty, we know it's great impact when it comes to black community and otherwise. certainly the president has been talking about these issues and again strategic steps in terms of addressing these issues and something that we are expecting to see more of. this isn't a conversation that's ended, this is one that's started and one that will continue. jillian: glad to have it with you, thank you. rob: along same topic, another violent weekend grips chicago with 5 people dead, the windy city continues to struggle with gun violence, details on that coming up. jillian: champagne flowing on both coast after red sox win world series, live in los angeles with thousand they are

probably more than that but that's the biggest topic for 8% of people polled and 7% of people focusing in on immigration. ashley, start with you, health care at the top of the list, does that surprise you at all? >> not really, i think it's been an issue that's come up but i think what is most relevant here and what we are going to see people responding to is how well our country is doing moving forward. it's going to come down to voter turnout and voter intensity and what issues inspires people. right now we have a president who has delivered on everything that he said he's going to deliver on from lowest unemployment rates among african americans and hispanic and women for 60 years and you have the democrat party who has literally offered nothing, what's the alternative, the republicans are doing something and moving country forward and democrats offered nothing except to crazy

rhetoric. rob: obama has been gaining in popularity which i think has shocked a lot of people on the republican side why do you think that is? >> well, let's just -- think about it, everyone in this country is concerned about access to affordable health care and so what's funny to me is watching the republicans now use obamacare talking points to try to energize their base. many people now concerned about preexisting conditions, we are concerned about health care, we knew when this bill first passed that it was going to be a winner because people genuinely care about the health care, they really do, i can see it being at the top of the issue. rob: ashley, you talked to a lot of republicans, rick scott in florida made comment last week, he said, you know, he likes some parts of obamacare, he wants to keep protections with people of preexisting conditions but he says everything else he doesn't like, the republicans have moved left on health care, maybe out of necessity, what do you think? >> you know -- >> they have to do that it's -- it's important.

rob: ashley, go ahead. >> health care was one of the top issues when president trump was running and there was a lot of people who were unhappy with the costs that obamacare put on -- put on people and so adjusting the preexisting conditions was a major part of this and it's something that republicans have said that they are going to stick to, however, it's still not solved because health care were -- if obamacare did correct the situation our health care crisis we would not be having the conversation again. >> i totally disagree with that. let me go back to health care, one of the main problems when many states did no t accept medicaid expansion it cost insurance prices to go up because many of them had engaged in the exchange the prices would have gone down for the american people, so the republicans have to take the onus and they did not do what they needed to do making sure medicaid expansion was accepted all across the country.

>> i'm pretty sure that after president trump was elected that republicans wanted to have the healthcare conversation but democrats wouldn't come to the table. rob: we can do health care all day long, dee, let me ask you one more question, i want to get to economy and immigration. what do you think the democrats stance on immigration and sounds like they don't want to talk about caravan, how do you think will play next tuesday? >> i think right now people are more concerned about borders within the united states and domestic terrorism, but let me say this, republicans are in charge of the white house, they are in charge of the senate and the house and they have failed to put together any type of comprehensive immigration bill but the republicans need to look within themselves why they are not handling the immigration situation. >> i tell you why they weren't able to handle immigration situation, earlier this spring when the president -- rob: we have to cut it right there, i'm so sorry, we could talk about it all day, highly-anticipated election coming next tuesday.

>> thank you. rob: political war of words brewing between democratic donor between tom steyer and president trump. >> what we are seeing terrible behavior, consistent violence from republicans. rob: now the president firing back to that and royal resemblance is that eagles quarterback on the field in london or is it prince harry? i don't really see it but carley shimkus will be here with both stories, hi, carley. carley: hi

behavior, complete difference between supporting injustice, creating injustice and opposing injustice. rob: all right, carley shimkus with fox news headline 24/7 siriusxm 115 is here with what the president had to say about this, hey, carley. carley: that's right, tom steyer has been major critic for some time and now on the president's radar, the president took to twitter, just watched wacky tom steyer who i have never seen action before being interviewed by jake tapper and should be running money pretty soon as bad as field is, the dems will eat him alive, steyer responded on twitter saying president trump tweeted at me in typical insulting style after watching cnn, this is unthinkable that in the midst of political violence our president would resort to name calling instead of repairing the damage to the

fabric of our country. well, steyer spent millions of dollars advocating for president trump's impeachment leading to speculation that he might be interested in running for president. some folks on social media chiming in, one twitter user says steyer is blamer, trump should ignore him and another twitter uses nice way to keep it civil tom, typical. steyer was intended victim of one of the explosive devices sent to democrats last week so president trump also seeing criticism for attacking him while calling for unity at the same time. jillian: do we think eagles playing in london can we stop debate -- carley: that's right, jillian, eagles they were in the uk, they played in london this weekend, so everybody is comparing carson wens to another

rob: midterms 8 days away and the alaska governor's race just broke wide open giving republicans decent chance to gain a governor seat there. jillian: republicans easing chance after democratic candidate incumbent governor walker abruptly dropped out last week. rob: here to break down the ballot ron meyer, the republicans had a great chance at this seat, the incumbent dropping out was bad news for the republican candidate here, tell us why? >> well, so the interesting thing is you had incumbent who was actually an independent who governed like a democrat. he ran with democrat in 2014 and he ended up winning and he basically was getting crushed in the polls, he was losing, there's the democrat in the race as well, he decided to drop out and throw his support towards the democrat, but here is the

thing, i think republicans we don't have a -- there's a lot of places where republicans have a chance to pick up a governor seat in a year like this, in off-year election, first midterm of presidency, i think that they will because -- because what's happened is incredibly unpopular governor, what happened his state hit financial crisis when oil prices went down and instead of shrink budget, he tried to raise taxes and upped the spending and what's worst for alaskans, he cut in check that they get from oil revenues, pfd's and this guy endorsed the democrats, i don't think that's good news for the democrats because the governor is unpopular. i think that the republican who is a former state senator mike has a great shot at winning this next week. jillian: ron, what else is resinating with voters there? >> well, i think the biggest thing is actually trying to get the salmon fisheries back, alaska is a unique state and trying to protect the oil

payments, incumbent governor cut them in half and so for a lot of alaskans in rural alaska they don't have a lot of opportunity for jobs and so they rely on oil revenues to offset seasonal income and so when you have a democrat basically, basically democrat incumbent governor which walker was slash those, i mean, it's essentially like a tax increase and so that's what the republicans are running on. he's saying he wants to keep taxes down, he wants to keep the payments in place from the oil revenues and govern the state in a way that is sustainable and i think that it's resinating and mark who is democrat got voted out because he was 60th vote for affordable care act, i don't think he would have return. i think it's close, the polls that we have seen have him 4 to 5 points but, you know, honestly republicans got to take any pick-up opportunities they can get in a year like this. rob: let's take a look at the poll here, alaska governor race, you can see the republican if we

pull that up at 48%, so it's pretty tight, let's broaden this out. not a lot of chances for the republicans to win many governors' races in the country in midterm with a republican president, tell us why that's a tough fight, we are watching one, the most popular the florida with desantis and he doesn't have -- he's about 4 or 5% behind at this point. >> i think the most interesting thing is that you have two republican governors in deepest blue states, larry hogan in maryland and charlie baker in massachusetts, they are just coasting the victory and you had a democrat-leaning incumbent in alaska who had to step out of the race because he's doing poorly, governing styles do matter, when republicans actually turn things around and make things thrive in blue states they win reelection and so i think it shows basically how republicans can win the future if desantis took hogin

and baker model it wouldn't be close race but desantis has to finish strong here, it's going to be close, come down to the wire and as impacting the senate race there with rick scott and incumbent senator bill nelson, so i think we are learning a lot from governing styles and how people run and does matter, republicans can win in blue states but it's the strategy and how you govern that matters. jillian: all right, ron, thank you very much, we appreciate it. >> we will see you. jillian: we are coming right back. . .
