american islamic forum for democracy. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. what do you think about this. were they right to keep them from being able to come to israel? >> initially i thought now. use of the present give the microphone and they appear to be radical but then as i found out what was on their agenda if you look at the group organizing their tour, the people they spoke to was all in balance, the most radical representatives, and as you saw even as she used her letterhead to visit her grandmother that turned out to be a stunt as she responded to global pressure from the bds movement which is not about one side of the equation, it is a movement that seeks to destroy and illuminate israel. it has no other end point, no

acts other than to see israel diet if you want to see the bds movement die then give them the antiseptic of sunlight and they will weather away. israel has to pick the lesser of 2 evils and the lesser of 2 evils is not to allow them to come because it was a stunt, they were not going to get the other side of the trip and as you see they had to mitigate their losses. >> did they accomplished part of their stunned because here we are talking about the bds movement and people at home who may not know that is the boycott of israel and the headline yesterday and today all weekend long. >> they did if america only gets one side of the muslim equation and this is the problem with the left media is they only allow muslims to speak on behalf of the rest of us and the american muslim community and their 1 million muslims that live inside israel that are offended by their radicalism, many muslims reject bds and accept israel as our ally.

we don't say israel is a democracy and then put it in your quotes which is an insult to our strongest ally in the middle east and we don't go meet with their to one in turkey and asked to resume relations with our biggest enemy, iran and then say israel is the problem. there are many american muslims that are offended and a balanced response like you're having on the show today then there's an educational moment to be had. without that you are right, they are going to the propaganda fight. >> two things i want to talk about, we mention this yesterday, the group they originally wanted to go over to israel with, tell us a little more about that group when they turned down the bipartisan group and decided not to go with them. >> they claimed yesterday they didn't look at the background because they took a few

congresspeople in 2016. misseda is founded by one of the most radical socialists of the plo leadership of the past 20 years and they have sanctioned and apologized for female suicide bombers saying they sacrificed their lives for the cause. that is the language used so it is not surprising they are swimming in the same pool. they claim not to know what it is but this is a pull these two congresswomen are swimming in, apologetics for radical islamism and hamas like programming. >> i was going to bring up their sound where they said and you summarized for us they said they didn't do a good job of vetting this organization but going back 20 years, come on. >> an organization that is really part of the fabric of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement, it doesn't recognize israel.

apologizes for hamas militant activities so if you want us to believe these two congresswomen they need to show some contrition, show that they see the militant side of the way the jewish community lives in terror at times because of what hamas does to them. you didn't hear that from the present. only they are the victims when in fact they are the bullies in this equation and are using their platforms tabouli muslims. shannon: there hinting at cutting billions in aid to israel and conversations from other democrats, punishing the is really diplomats. obviously it will continue. thank you for joining us. the time is 20 minutes after the top of the hour. if you see something say something, potential mass shootings foiled in three days, how tips from the public helped police to avert disaster. >> a very difficult few days but me and my wife and our family are doing our best to get back to normal.

joins us to weigh in, thank you for joining us. she had a pretty good crowd last night. what did you think? >> i think democrats recognize trump lost minnesota by bus than 2% in 2016 was remarkably slim margin for a supposed democratic stronghold in the smallest margin of any republican presidential candidate in history. minnesota represents a real problem for democrats and i think there are three distinct issues why. the first is historic, the minnesotans are remarkably independent-minded, the same folks who elected just event or a governor. they are very independent and trump is the quintessential independent president. the second is the economy. the economy is absolutely booming it if it continues to do well, jobs focused minnesota is going to be hard-pressed to see a meaningful reason for change and the final reason is

what you mentioned earlier, distinct hard left turn by democratic president of candidates. they have done absolutely socialist, regarding president obama is too conservative, president obama is too conservative, bill clinton is akin to george bush junior. it is not something that lines up i believe with minnesota's moderate democrat. >> minnesota knife. since you mentioned past elections let's bring that up very quickly for everyone at home. you are right, back in 2016 hillary clinton barely squeaking by donald trump, 2012 president obama and in 2008 president obama winning as well. i want to ask you something, speaking of socialism bring this poll up, voters impression of socialism, 55% overall think

it is negative. so i was wondering as i was looking through the posts on social media listening to the commentators about elizabeth warren, referring to her as a quiet liberal populism. that is what she's trying to run as an get away from the extreme left. >> that is an interesting brush to wield. i think if american voters understand policy, this election is touted in many ways about being about personality it is about policy and american voters value policy and if you look at elizabeth foreign's policies they are distinctly socialist. i think so far the presidential democratic field has done donald trump a great favor in this hard left turn in their trying to compete against each other which you always see in the primary but this is a gift to the republican candidate because americans don't view socialism with a positive i and

there's a perfect poster child for this in minnesota in representative omar who is very vocal, increasingly known and extremely socialist on all these different issues including green new deal and omar has less than 10% approval rating in minnesota, care that to donald trump's approval rating at it tells the story. >> her approval rating has gone down. compared to the squad remember one of the before and was the most extreme we talked about? that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. the time is 20 minutes until the top of the hour and china taking a page out of russia's playbook. the social media giant just uncovered.

shifting its focus from russia collusion to racial tension. the executive editor dean mckay saying, quote, we build our newsroom to cover one story, now we have to regroup and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story. is impartial news a thing of the past? here to weigh in is dan gaynor, thanks for joining us this morning, we appreciate it. not sure it is a thing of the past but clearly when it comes to the new york times it is not a thing of the present. >> one of the things this stems from is the headline originally that said trump urges unity versus racism and because of backlash they changed it to a sailing hate but not guns in response to a mass shooting. >> this major internal new york times staff freak out to the point they had this internal

meeting 75 minute meeting and they got the whole transcript. dean mccabe makes the clear point of the staff and their readers don't like it when they jeer biden but love it when they criticize trump and he said also they have to deal with other issues even though conservatives don't read their paper and it is a stunning admission that they are the liberal paper we have said for years. todd: 1 of the staffers in the meeting raising a concern about racism apparently said i feel like racism is in everything. are you actually considering this in your daily reporting and he says race in the next year is going to be a huge part of the american story, normally

that the president is racist for saying day-to-day things and instead of reporting the news all you do is push a narrative and then anybody supporting donald trump, 63 million people are racists that is not going to fly with 63 million people, their family and friends too. heather: a show last night said first was russia, now it is racism and recession as well, trying to push that narrative. we appreciate it. >> news brought to you by the little are.
