when they committed to pumpkin. steve: it's kind of pumpkin. ainsley: i wish they would do that with vanilla. i like vanilla coffee. french vanilla, they push that lever and squirt it into your drink it's not real vanilla. it's sugary. steve: pure vanilla extract and simple sugar. ainsley: that's the problem. brian: one of the worst days of my life which when steve told me what's in a latte. you realize it's all milk. steve: it's a glass of hot milk with one shot of coffee. ainsley: everything that tastes good is very fattening. tough get on the treadmill for live five hours. brian: or almond milk. it has taken over the country. steve: have you ever tried that. brian: yeah, i live on almond milk. steve: have you tried pumpkin spice. >> i got almond milk in the dormant season of pumpkin spice. exciting for me. i'm sure i'm going to get

griff: feels a little bit like a hig roller coaster ride. the mood very upbeat. hong kong you will closed

he said that china, he believes they want to do a deal. d the tariffs have hit them hard. they have lost 3 million jobs. economy slowing down. currency hit 11-year low. if you listen to what harry, the senior director for the center for the national interest, what he says, it makes sense. listen to this how he breaks down all the numbers. >> if you look at the structural components of this trade war, the united states would be destined doing it. it's a simple math problem. the u.s.-china relationship

is worth almost three quarters of a trillion dollars. something like $700 trillion. the united states imports over $500 billion of chinese goods. the chinese only buys something like 130 billion. so when you look at the amount of tariffs that each side could apply that the structural components to this, it's the american consumer that has essentially paid for the modernization of china. do you think for one second the chinese want to give up those exports? no way. i think the chinese will eventually be forced to make a deal. i think china is right on that. steve: tucker looked driven last night. brian brian right. i don't know what it was. ainsley: i love that soundbite because it makes sense. he is saying we import 500 billion of chinese goods. they only buy 130 billion from us. they are definitely going to come to the table. steve: it's all about this nation's resolve. meanwhile, think about what the president said yesterday as opposed to what he said on friday. he was asked yesterday in that press availability. he said on friday, mr. president, you referred to president xi of china as the enemy. and then yesterday he called him a great leader and a brilliant man. and then on friday the

president said american companies should leave china but then yesterday, you said companies should stay there and do a great job. so, why do you say things like that, the president was asked, and he said this. >> it's the way i negotiate. >> sir, my question is that a strategy? is it a strategy to call president xi an enemy one day. >> yes. >> and then say relations are great the next day? it's gone back and forth. >> the way i negotiate it's done very well for me over the years and it's doing even better for the country. and i do think that -- look, here's the story: i have people just say oh, make a deal, make a deal. they don't have the guts. and they don't have the wisdom to know that you can't continue to go on where a country is taking 500 billion, not million, 500 billion with a b out every single year.

$500 billion. you just can't do that somebody had to do this. this should have been done by president obama it should have been done and biden, sleepy joe. it should have been done by other people. brian: he is 100 percent right. the g7 would be great. they understand everything the president says right now they would say. germany has had problems with china. france has had huge problems with china. the u.k. huge problems with china on the same thing we have been saying on the longest time. this president taking action it would be great to get all those other economies unified. right now they are just hiding behind us. it would be great for them to stand alongside us because two thirds of the world's democracies, many of which are allies of ours but the president has america, once again, at the head of the class saying we will take on this behemoth before it tries to overrun us militarily and economically. ainsley: the president has done a deal with mexico,

with canada. soutsouth korea and japan. steve: he said he had something going on with india, but we have not heard that take a look at the "new york times" and there is a headline this morning that caught our attention. prosecutors are near a decision on whether to seek. anna: drew mccabe indictment. they are trying, apparently, to decide whether or not to indict him. remember, he is the former deputy -- deputy fbi director who was fired just before his pension because he lied to the inspector general regarding a leak to the "wall street journal." apparently mccabe's lawyers met in the last week or so with a deputy attorney general who is expected to be involved whether or not to prosecute. he also met with a u.s. attorney for d.c. for more than an hour. and it's unknown what they talked about, but usually defense lawyers meet with law enforcement to try to persuade them not to indict

their client if they fail to get prosecutors to drop the case. so, he could be in trouble. ainsley: a source close to the process says mccabe has a target on his back for his actions during the hillary clinton email investigation and surveillance warrants against president trump or his campaign. brian: michael horowitz, just so you know was appointed by president obama. for those people who want to say donald trump has a personal ax to crime against andrew mccabe because his wife accepted money from the clinton campaign? think again. they say upon investigation he lacked candor on four occasions when questioned by the office's investigators including leaking to the "wall street journal." on top of that, andy mccabe turned around and said i was given perms like i oftentimes am to leak to the press. james comey was asked did you give permission to andy mccabe permission to leak to the president. he says i don't recall being able to do that. you might say people are in

political corners and polarized country right now. not in this case. their problem is with the inspector general appointed by barack obama, james comey, i think you understand his relationship with president obama, he worships him and andy mccabe who worked for him and remember that plan that was hatched in andy's office. steve: well, one of the witnesses who was called before the grand jury was lisa page who was one of the fbi love birds. and she told the grand jury, ak0rding to the "new york times," that mr. mccabe had no motive to lie because he was actually authorized to go ahead and leak information to the "wall street journal." nonetheless, sara carter who has been on top of this story for a very long time says mccabe, she feels, will be indicted according to her sources. >> every bit of information on mccabe has been handed over to john durham, and he is going to be looking through that with a fine tooth comb. because if anybody knows what was going on, it was mccabe. and he would have known about trying to invoke the 25th against the president,

trying to secretly get rod rosenstein to record the president. all of this was on mccabe's plate. and so, he is in a lot of hot water. he has a lot of questions that need to be answered. and if justice is served, he will be served an indictment. brian: i would love to see these people in the same room and see if their stories line up. they have been looking at this sings the spring of 2018. steve: keep in mind it was within the last two weeks they announced that james comey they would not be indicting. brian: yeah. steve: will mr. mccabe wind up with the same state stay tuned. ainsley: does that mean they think comey was telling the truth and mccabe was not? we will see. steve: have to wait for the grand jury. jillian: crime spree ends in horrific crash. officers in dayton, ohio, say a stabbing suspect hopped into a parked police cruiser and crashed into several other cars,

barred style approach to his campaign rallies. and our next guest says in an op-ed in the "new york post" that he has been taking a page out of the wwe's wrestling playbook. here to explain is "new york post" columnist miranda. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: how much of that personality, do you think, came from his connection to wrestling and first of all, explain his connection to wrestling. >> well, i think 100 percent of his personality. he has been around in the front row of wrestle mania for decades. is he a good friend of vince mcmahon. steve: in fact he tweeted happy birthday to him last week. >> last sunday, yeah. he staged some of the first wrestle manias in atlantic city. is he a good friend of people like jesse the body ventura who went on to become governor of minnesota. so the wrestling to politics trajectory is not unknown and i think what donald trump has done is he has seen that sort of crowd

manipulation that the wrestlers do the rapport they have and crowd participation. that's exactly what he does at his rallies. >> and one of the things they do in wrestling is you you are either a baby face or a heel and you try to demonize the opponent. does that sound familiar to this? >> jeb bush is a low energy person. >> little marco. >> lyin' ted. >> crooked hillary. >> i call it aoc plus 3. >> crazy bernie. >> i think sleepy joe may be able to limp across the finish line. steve: since you said there could be a component to wrestle mania in his d.n.a., that makes sense now. >> absolutely. because it's all about good guys vz bad guys and the villains are the heels and donald trump has an entire stable of them with the democrats. you know, pocahontas, is he brilliant at assigning them

these catchphrases which is another make america great again his trademark catchphrase that's another wrestling idea. it used to be you're fired. i think this one is much better. steve: and you think about it now, when you watch one of the trump rallies and we have them here occasionally on the fox news channel, it has that dynamic. the room sounds about the >> the crowd participation. even the fact you have crowd going u.s.a., u.s.a., he knows he is very good like the wrestlers like steve austin. trump have very good at getting the crowd going, at reading the crowd. he seems to know everything that's going on, that he can take -- if there is a guy out back that's a little bit fat he will point him out. that's all part of the razzle dazzle of wrestling. he has learned that over the decades watching the best. he has applied it to his persona as president.

steve: in fact, the time at that rally where he said something about the fat guy up there, turns out we had the fat guy on the tv show. he wasn't fat. but he. >> he is a fan. steve: he is a gigantic fan of the president. and you think about through the prism of beverag wrestling d now the president negotiates last week he called president xi evil and brilliant. told american businesses to he said stay where you are at. that is a wrestling technique. >> it absolutely is and it works so well i think this is where he is assigned the media the sort of the heel character. the lame stream media and all the other rude names he calls them. and they play their part that he has assigned to them to a te t. they believe everything he says. the other day when he called himself the chosen one to me it was obviously a joke.

they have all taken it seriously saying he has a messiah complex then he tweets and says you guys, you have no sense of humor. steve: let's see if he tweets about this whether or not he agrees with it. read all about it in the pages of "the new york post." miranda divine, that was great. thank you very much. >> thanks, steve. steve: interesting idea. meanwhile, president trump bringing home a win for our farmers at the g7. >> the japan deal is a tremendous achievement. one of the biggest trade deals and it effects directly our farmers. steve: one farmer weighs in coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ applebee's handcrafted burgers now starting at $7.99 now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. we really pride ourselves on making it easy for you >> tech: at safelite autoglass, to get your windshield fixed. with safelite, you can see exactly when we'll be there. saving you time

our ranchers. our farmers, they don't want to take, they want to produce. they want to do their work. they don't want anything for nothing. they're great american people. i call them great american patriots. ainsley: here to weigh in on this is sauers the owner of south mountain creamery in maryland. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> you're welcome. what does this mean this massive deal with japan. what will it mean for the farmer and rancher? >> brian drinking that almond stuff he was talking about doesn't help me much. i can't even call my skim milk milk unless i put additives in it. what he is drinking has nothing to do with milk. steve: in our house we do drink regular milk so we thank you for that. >> it's most nutritious food in the world. ainsley: you keep us alive. we couldn't live without you. thank you for what you do. >> you are welcome this trade deal mean for you and your family. >> it should help us but

it's kind of a double edged sword for us because we are a livestock producer if the price of grain skyrockets it cost more for farmers that have to buy grain to produce the milk that they have. we grow most of our own feed so it doesn't affect us much. we still sell excess grain which helps pay those mortgages. so, it's got to help. i mean, i trust watch trump's doing. i mean, he is not a racist. he is out there to help everybody. i think he is going to help the farmers. the farmers are usually the last to get anything. i mean, we take whatever is left and everybody else gets what they want. but there is a lot of other things that effect prices of grain. i mean, people trade grain every day on the commodity markets and they don't even own a bushel of grain. if i want to borrow money from the government on my grain, i have to have it in my bin and then they only loan you half the money it's worth to pay your bills and then you get yourself in a

situation you have bills to pay and don't have enough money. you to sell your grain no money. you to sell your grain no matter what the price is right now the price is low. they always manipulate the price low at harvest time they know farmers have to sell their grain to pay their bills. as long as big business controls those commodities, it will help, but it's not going to solve the p know, trade grain and make money when the farmers take all the risk and do all the work and, you know, we're limited to what we can make. but the treasury deal, i trust him to do the right thing for everybody. no question what he does. i just hope it turns out. that's his job. i have got my job to do and i will do that and hopefully he will help me. steve: i was reading an article about it an chin zoe abe has said they are suffering because of this

insect problem they have. they are looking to america to help them with their corn product and other industries that have to do with farming. are you willing to suffer some short-term pains for long-term gain. >> we have already been suffering for the last three years in the dairy industry. i mean, the prices have been rock bottom. they are coming up now. farmers always have to take that brunt. yes, if you really want to farm, you have to go through it because you do most of the time once in a while things turn around and you can build up your capital for the next time it's down. you don't farm because you are going to make a lot of money doing it. you farm because you love what do you. ainsley: i know you gave the farm to your kids. how is retirement? >> i still work 60 or 70 hours a week. i just gave up milking last monday. i finally said i'm not going to do that anymore. i get to sleep in every morning now until 5:00 or 6:00. ainsley: that's sleeping in. god bless you. thank you for what you do. we appreciate it? >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. have a good one.

trendy. anything with god or patriotism we don't anything to do with it. only want to do what makes us happy. the reason why that makes me sad is because young people are missing out on some of the greatest sources of joy. anything that gives you satisfaction requires sacrifice, a relationship with god, having kids, being a part of something that's bigger than you like the greatest country on earth. it's really disappointing for me to see but, like i said, not surprising. brian: there is another poll that goes specifically into patriotism and breaks it out by age. 18 to 34, 42% say patriotis is very important. 55 and over, 79%. i'm hearkened back to seeing the video on d-day as we marked how many decades it's been, 50 years -- 60 years since d-day. those 19-year-olds i'm pretty sure they pled red, white and blue. they were galvanized.

they knew who their enemy was. it was evil fascism and communism during the cold war. is the problem in a way we don't have a galvanized purpose now? >> i'm not sure or they think that that purpose is not communism and collectivism but is actually climate change. we heard even democratic candidates compare climate change to world war ii which is absolutely craze. but i think that speaks to the problem that this is what young people are hearing. and have been hearing in our education system on social media, even from political candidates that really collectivism isn't really dangerous. there is nothing really special about america. and actually america is really bad. that there is nothing to be proud of. and so, instead, they look to themselves for purpose and fulfillment and they are really not attracted to patriotism or being proud of living in the united states. steve: two of the other poll breakouts one on religion. some fewer regard religion

as important. if you are over 55, close to 70% say that it's only 30% when you look at the people who are 18 to 38. and that's reflected in the number of people who no longer go to church. the other one, mary beth is people consider having children very important with the younger people only 32%. people over 55 is about 54%. but, you know, it seems like part of that could be that people are just waiting until later in life, allie beth, to have children. and then again, a lot of people can't afford them. >> yes, that's possible. i a little bit of different theory i think those things go hand in hand. people are embracing gotlessness and also not just putting off having kids but not really interested in having kids the greatest responsibility they want is having a dog. i love dogs by the way. they're just not interested in taking that step getting married, having a commitment and having kids.

again, i think that's sad because the greatest joy in my life is one my relationship with jesus and, two, having a baby girl. we actually had our first child 8 weeks ago and i'm a millennial as well. i just worry that some of these people think that they are going to find lasting happiness just in themselves, making themselves happy and it's just not there. ainsley: beautifully said. yes, you are right. steve: something to think about. ainsley: congratulations. i didn't know that allie beth. that's awesome. >> thank you. ainsley: are you having fun? are you getting any sleep. >> you know what? we are getting some sleep. it's getting there. but it's hard. you know this ainsley as a mom. it is the greatest thing ever. it's the greatest thing ever. as sleepless as it can be sometimes. steve: what did we do? we ask you to get up at 3:00 in the morning. >> definitely it's worth it for you guys. only for y'all. ainsley: give it four more weeks and then she will probably be sleeping through the night. steve: thank you very much, allie beth.

an ied. and now those two heroes proving nothing will hold them back from going to the top. ainsley: here with more is retired u.s. marine corps sergeant jonathan blank and john nelson. guys, thank you so much for being with us. >> thanks for having us. >> thank you. >> you are welcome. a guy is hiking the same mountain and sees you doing this and post as video on social media and that's how we learned about it. we were all inspired by your story. john, tell us how you came up with this idea. >> well, originally, we had a recon challenge and our platoon, there is about 12 of us that took john on a about 30-mile hike with multiple challenges that we had to accomplish. and then about a month ago a fellow platoon mate adam sorensonton out here, i helped him take his mom who has m.s. up. >> about halfway.

>> about halfway up. so after that basically john was telling me wanted to do it for five years. so, thursday, actually, i was like hey, let's go climb the mountain, what did you say? >> did it on a whim. > steve: so the guy who took these images, if fellow by the name of phil casper was heading down the mountain and he had barely five pounds on his back and he could barely carry that he was astounded the fact that you were carrying jonathan on your back. did you do it the whole way up the mountain? >> yeah the entire way. >> pretty much. at one point, john wanted to jump out and take this shortcut that took about a third of a mile off. steve: okay. >> so he kind of crawled up that. but, yeah, it was 145 pounds on my back the whole time. brian: we have reports it's 135. so we have to get to the

bottom of. this i weigh 135 and then the pack with water and nutritional stuff comes out to about 145. >> so it's 14 miles. you go 4,500 feet in elevation. >> right. >> john, tell me what happened to you in afghanistan. >> i was actually standing right next to john -- well about 30, 40 feet away when the explosion went off. i was able to give him some medical help. so we have a pretty tight bond. so that's our story about afghanistan. brian: and jonathan blank, you guys have stayed close since that day? >> of course. i mean, i try to stay close with all of our platoon like we are a band of brothers. we are so tight. they are my family. steve: right. >> i love opportunities to get together and get with them and obviously like pretty great bonds with everybody but john especially, too. steve: no kidding. jonathan, i understand you are going to have another challenge. you and john are going to on

veterans day, 11/11 tell us a little bit about your next adventure. >> well, hopefully if everything works out, we're going to attempt mount whitney with, you know, that's 14,500. and obviously this time i'm going to need a little bit of help because we ran into an issue where i had to actually -- that 14 miles turned into 26 miles because after i got john halfway up the mountain, i had to go down and get. >> a sack of all of our camping gear and go back up. so, i don't think i will be able to do that at mount whitney. we want to get some of our other platoon involved in this. ainsley: jonathan, you have been through so much, both of you have and we appreciate everything have you done. jonathan losing your legs for our country, we appreciate that sacrifice. i'm sorry for what you have had to go through. what do you hope that people watching and hearing your story, what can they learn from this? >> they can learn to push

their limitations. we are both force reconnaissance marines. that's a breed apart. we don't let any obstacle stand in our way. people can take from this to get out and push themselves physically, mentally to become a better person and also do little kind favors for fellow americans. look what john did for me. can you do simple stuff every day to make this country better. steve: it is quite a story. the image we wouldn't get out of our minds. we had to meet you guys and we are so glad we did. jonathan blank. john nelson, thank you very much for your service. and good luck on veterans day. >> all right. thank you. >> thank you so much. ainsley: thank you, gentlemen. god bless you both. steve: terrific. still ahead on this tuesday morning. senator lindsey graham is going to be joining us. the acting cpb commissioner mark morgan plus sean duffy had a big announcement yesterday he and his wife rachel are going to join us. is he resigning from congress and he will explain why. brian: the winner of the

brian: i read the bylaws. there was nothing forbidding my neighbors from cooking for me. ainsley: there were seven of us that entered the contest and you are disqualified, my friend. brian: no i am not. you don't have the power to disqualify me. ainsley: if it's a cooking segment and we each have to cook and you don't cook, you cannot participate. steve: ainsley, it's up to the voters. if the. brian: exactly. steve: if the people watching want to vote for a cheater, let them. brian: not a cheater. somebody who competes with everything he has. steve: you said you grill at home but you didn't want to do it on tv because you wanted to win. so you called in other people. brian: that's exactly it. i have been cooking at my house since i was 10 years old. i used to throw the -- put them together. threw the lighter fluid on and watched them gray and prematurely put on the meat. obviously mature after everything has been cooked. later they came up with this technology after we landed on the moon they fowbsd out

how to have a gas grill. i went to electric grill because i thought it was too dangerous. steve: has he really written books on history. brian: it's true. i did part of the fox nation series i did something on space. they invented the gas grill. ainsley: you are historian and chef. brian: thank you. steve: in space, no one can hear you grill. ainsley: describe the bonfire. and how to cook burgers. steve: there is no oxygen. it would be hard to have a fire. brian: more on that later. steve: that coming up and taste the brand new pumpkin spice latte a cold brew. first we will start with this. the president is back in d.c. after a very busy g7 summit. ainsley: all eyes now on china and potential end to that trade war. brian: griff jenkins has been assigned this task of unwinding the trade war. is it over, griff? >> well, i don't know just yet. let me first tell you i predict soon you will call me grill jenkins rather than griff.

griff. brian: you are not winning. no way. griff: this is a high stakes trade war like nothing we have ever seen. let me show you the asian markets overnight the mood is upbeat, shanghai's deposit and japan's nikkei index reacting positively to president trump's announcement that the two sides are coming back to the table. and china's vice premier saying they want to resolve things through calm negotiations. the president, even sounding optimistic of a deal. >> i think they want to make a deal very badly. i think that was elevated last night. china has taken a very hard hit over the last number of months. they have lost 3 million jobs. it will soon be much more than 3 million jobs. >> now the white house has not reversed course on those new tariffs that take effect on september 1st. and trade talks are set to resume next month. and the president's unorthodox style was on full display calling chinese president xi jinping an enemy on friday and then praising him as a great leader as he departed the g7 yesterday.

meanwhile, out on the campaign trail, some 2020 democrats, including former vice president biden, who vowed not to criticize the president while overseas were blasting the president. >> this trade war with china is blowing up in his face. >> donald trump has no plan. >> trade war by tweet is harmful to the u.s. economy. it's harmful to u.s. farmers. >> the president is back in the white house today. we will see if he has more to say about the trade talks. and we will see how the markets react after a bumpy ride last week but the asian markets looking good overnight. sometimes an indicator that things are looking up. guys? brian: yeah. and there are some talks on the books. they are going to start meeting again to try to make progress. thanks, griff jenkins. it's kind of odd. because both sides agree we about had a deal done a couple of months ago. steve: regarding? brian: regarding china and the u.s. they pulled back and said we are not going to go with that deal. steve: because the president wanted the whole deal. he wanted the whole inwhich i lad da.

brian: in writing. steve: right now they are ready to talk. where is it going to go regarding that and everything else? who knows? we do know the president made it clear yesterday going to be the united states. he suggested maybe we will do it as dural which is a golf resort he owns, his family owns. brian: he would want to do it there anyway whether he owns it or not. a perfect site. ainsley: looked at 12 different sites. why don't we do it we have those facilities. brian: trump tower is not available. steve: apparently the secret service did inform the dural, florida police department two months ago that the resort was one of about a dozen potential venues for the summit. here is the president yesterday in france talking about why he would like everybody to go to south florida next summer. doral happens to be in

florida. my people looked at 12 sites. all good but some were two hours from an airport. some were four hours. i mean, so far away. some didn't allow this, or they didn't allow that with doral, we have a series of magnificent buildings. we call them bungalows. they each hold from 50 to 70 very luxurious rooms with magnificent views. we have incredible conference rooms. incredible restaurants. it's such like a natural. brian: nothing he said wasn't accurate. villa. brian: fantastic. maybe one for russia. we don't know. that will bring more controversy. ainsley: more traffic down there and less here in new york. brian: the "new york times" embrace thud idea despite the headline. he has this for next g7 meeting. his own golf resort. the world is burning but trump's doral resort is just tremendous. steve: bloomberg says trump

pitches luxury miami property for next g7, his own. the use of the president of his property for official business violates the constitution's amonthly meants clause which prohibits presidents from receiving gifts from foreign governments. i'm sure the president has asked the lawyers can i donate this? how can i work around it. my only concern is having them go to miami during the last week of august is it is pretty darn hot. and when you look at monday, it was raining cats and dogs in that area. ainsley: it is hurricane season, too. brian: you can. you have people. if you are a world leader people walk with you with umbrellas, number one. you do most of the stuff indoors. ainsley: it would be a beautiful place though for world leaders to go and see what our country looks like. a beautiful representation. i have never been to doral but i love miami and i love florida. it's so green and beautiful and the weather is usually nice at that time.

it is hot. steve: so the president said they are thinking about it and what does the major newspapers do? they tell him it's a bad idea. which just will make him dig in even more if we know the president. brian: it just drives them nuts. meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about andy mccabe. you know he has another job now. steve: cnn. brian: is he going to be at cnn. they don't seem to be worried about his legal future. although the department of justice is. they are examining whether to indict andy mccabe for four separate times being less than forthcoming to the inspector general. steve: lack of candor is what the inspector general said. the "new york times" headline this morning, prosecutors near decision on whether to seek. whether to seek. anna: drew mccabe indictment. and, according to two sources close to this particular investigation, apparently mr. mccabe -- his lawyers met with the deputy attorney general who is expected to be involved in the decision whether or

not to prosecute and with the u.s. attorney for d.c. for more than an hour, unknown what they talked about but defense lawyers usually meet with law enforcement to try to persuade them. don't do anything to our client. if they fail to get the prosecutors to drop the case. the big question is did a grand jury suggest an indictment and where does it go from here? ainsley: a source close to the process says he has a target on his back. here is what jason chaffetz said about it last night. >> you also have to remember he did something most other federal employees never do. he got fired for cause. not only a from the inspector general for lying and misleading them and not telling the truth to them, the lack of candor. with yobut then it goes you have to run the gauntlet with his peers. it's his peers who did. this then you have to bring in his wife. a little known fact about this case, he recused

himself because his wife was going to run for a state senate seat there in virginia. then he decided to get rid of that recusal. then hillary clinton is about to win and so he puts the recusal back in. i mean, it's so fishy that he got fired. and if hillary clinton had won, this guy would be the number two person at the department of justice for the fbi. it's pretty scare yuvment. brian: pretty scary. you also think about his dicey role in the whole wearing of a wire wit to prove the president was not fit for office. he has to have a dramatic gene in him. he seems to be somewhat of an actor. he told investigators twice they determined he had not been truthful saying he had essentially made the same false denial as he did the previous may except for this time when they asked him, audio, they taped it. so they taped his denial. so the question is, if you can lie to the fbi and

get -- ruin your life and career like mike flynn. steve: you are leaving out he works at the fbi. brian: right. george papadopoulos very dicey situation to say the least. his life is certainly put on hold for a year and a half and his reputation destroyed why is it okay for the fbi to lie to the fbi or to other people in the fbi to lie to inspector generals or the department of justice. the question is can you get a conviction on that. and do you want to go through all of that? is there enough there? ainsley: sara carter says john durham is combing through all of this trying to get the facts and we will learn something new. steve: the "new york times" mentions the fact that if he were indicted and faced a jury in washington, d.c., which is a very liberal town, would there be a conviction? that -- so many questions. we don't have answers to. look for some of these findings to come out before you know it. ainsley: okay. jillian has all the headlines for us. jillian: following a story out of ohio. get to a fox news alert. two children are dead and 10

people are hurt after a crime spree ends in a horrific crash. a stabbing suspect hopped into a parked police cruiser in dayton, ohio, and crashed into several other cars, including a van with seven children inside. that man is under arrest. two officers are hurt. and tragedy now in california where college freshman is hit and killed on a busy freeway two days before he was supposed to start class at usc. he was walking in express lane when he was run over by two cars. unclear why he was there police arrested one of the drivers who tried to give olson first aid. they are still looking for the other driver. a decision expected today on whether a controversial abortion law can take effect tomorrow. planned parenthood and the aclu want a temporary restraining order in missouri until a lawsuit against the legislation is resolved. they argue the new slaw unconstitutional. it bans abortions at or after the eighth week of pregnancy with exceptions

for medical emergencies. and how about this? u.s. soccer store carli lloyd is given a chance to make history as the first woman to play in an nfl preseason game. fox sports reporting lloyd received the offer after this video of her 55-yard field goal at philadelphia eagles training session went viral. >> yes. [cheers] [. jillian: that shot was money. we don't know what team made the offer. we do know unfortunately lloyd it to decline. she has a soccer gamement but that would have been awesome to see, wouldn't it? brian: yeah. it would have been great. maybe for the eagles or a bunch of teams. jillian: we don't know who. it's a mystery. ainsley: okay. thank you, jillian. steve: as you can see before us we have become the starbucks test kitchen. ladies and gentlemen, as of today, it's the earliest release date ever, the famed

pumpkin spiced latte is now available. they sold half a billion copies of this through the history. now there is something new. it's the pumpkin cream cold brew which is their cold brew coffee, vanilla syrup and pumpkin cream cold foam. ainsley: delicious. brian: really? steve: this is a brand new drink. actually being served in the cold cup lid where you don't need a straw. brian: that's always revolutionary because paper straws, by the way, are made of paper and they collapse. steve: not at starbucks. they have always been plastic. ainsley: i originally had one. halfway through the meal i will bring you another straw. brian: right. unbelievable. steve: pumpkin cream cold brew. ainsley: okay. now is this the hot one? steve: the verdict? what do you think? brian: i like it. ainsley: needs a little more sugar. steve: it has vanilla syrup in it not very spicy.

brian: i don't taste the pits. steve: the pits? >> the pits of the pumpkin. steve: you mean seeds? steve: pumpkins don't have pits. brian: this is the pumpkin i grew up with. ainsley: it it has 380-calories, 52 carbs, and 50 grams of sugar. that's if you get it with 2% milk and whipped cream. brian: don't tell the farmers but i would prefer it with almond milk. ainsley: we had a farmer on that was mad at brian for saying that fewer calories blue moon has a pumpkin pump al. brian: do you think i could get a beer on the show. pumpkin size latte could i have permission? steve: people may think you have already had a couple. ainsley: add some kahlua. brian: how much do you know about lick cower? steve: some people love pumpkin spice latte.

steve: what would you be willing to do to get pumpkin spice latte. 40 percent said you would stand in line at the dmv once a months. and take a red eye flight once a week. 35% would name their child pumpkin spice. ainsley: that is a lie. people are lying. that is fake news. 35% would not name their kids pumpkin spice. steve: don't talk to me. talk to the people at starbucks. brian: how much is howard schultz paying us for this ad? ainsley: if some people wants it why don't they have it year around. brian: you want to deny people. like the cabbage patch doll. you really want you want it more. steve: you mean delayed graphics? brian: that's one way i would say it. steve: like dressing, stuffing, it just taste better at the end of, you know. brian: why don't we have turnips all year around.

ainsley: we do. brian: do you? steve: sure. brian: you got turnips all year around? ainsley: yes, they are in salads. brian: i didn't think they sold them after thanksgiving. ainsley: what do you know about anything in food? steve: what do you think about the sur display what do you think about starbucks expanding their pumpkin spice to the new cold brew cream? brian: by the way, if you are a parent, wake up little pumpkin spice school starts. steve: if you named it. ainsley: 35% of you out there. 17 minutes after the top of the hour, 60 miles of brand the hour, 60 miles of brand new wall build on the arizona border. hundreds more are going to be built by the end of next year. brian: mark morgan says every mile keeps our country safer. he is on deck. why is he still acting? why doesn't he get the job? ♪ limu emu & doug hour 36 in the stakeout. as soon as the homeowners arrive, we'll inform them that liberty mutual customizes home insurance, so they'll only pay for what they need.

this hearkens back to when we called it a fence, a wall, a barrier. look, what was there was old, dilapidated and didn't work. every mile that's being built is absolutely a new wall. and it's not just wall, brian. brian. it's a wall system. it has integrated lighting, technology, access roads it. absolutely and i have been sailing this with each mile that's built, this country is more safe. and if you ask the men and women of border patrol, this president has given them exactly what they have been asking for. this brand new ballard type wall that's what the experts asked for and that's what the president is delivering. brian: reading axios yesterday after two and a half years after trump took office he promised a new wall along the southern border. his administration cannot tell us the first mile of new wall that's been built. is axios wrong? >> they are absolutely wrong, brian. every mile those 60 miles have been built, that's a new wall. just as i said. in addition to that what they are trying to convolute is new additional linear miles of wall.

and right now, that's also been underway. and rgv one of the strategic locates right now we have been acquiring land for a long time. and we are anticipating construction to begin soon of almost 100 new miles of linear wall in the rbg area accurate. brian: mark, you were expecting this but it's happened. 19 states and washington, d.c. have launched new lawsuits against the trump administration over changes to the flores rule that would allow you to be able to keep unaccompanied minors and minors with their families longer than 20 days. you are expecting the suit. are you ready to fight tore the suit. what is your best pitch to overturn the flores rule? >> here's two best pictures. one is the new flores regulation not only does it meet the flores settlement agreement parameters, it actually exceeds them for the care that we will provide in these residential centers for these children. in addition to that, it actually will make sure that

the families are held together. and here's a really quick false narrow thaf needs to be addressed. this is not about indefinite detention. if anybody says that, that's an absolute lie. we are wanting to hold them together as a family in a good, safe environment just during the immigration proceedings which history shows us takes between 40 and 60 days. brian: you feel if you put 45 days in they will start playing with that. 60 days in play with that you put the word indefinite in there but doesn't mean indefinite. it's an order to get them processed stay or go, right? >> exactly right. what we have seen time and time again if we put limitations in there then they game the system and they get passed that and end up having to release them. putting that word in there allows to us maintain them during the process. brian: it's amazing. most of these 19 states have incredible homeless problem. they are taxed up to the gills. yet they want to take in illegals at random pace. it doesn't seem fair to the americans that are here.

you guys and when the spouses all get together, we all talk about work life balance for our families. it's a really tough thing to do. it's tough if you have two kids. it's really rough with nine. we have been looking for signs. it's not the only reason, it's just an indication of the bandwidth is getting really tight here and at some point you have just got to put your family first. i feel really proud of what sean has done in 8 and a half years in congress. i think the republicans have saved american capitalism. it's a blue collar recovery right here in wisconsin. it wasn't that way when he started. the economy was definitely in decline over here in north and central wisconsin. i feel like, you know, sean, i'm really proud of what he has done. >> thank you. and it's just worked out. ainsley: how are you doing? i'm sure when your doctor gave you that news heart broken as a mom. tell us about that experience.

how are you doing? >> well, you know, the initial news was shocking. but, you know, i think we live in a time of amazing technology. i feel really confident when i meet with the doctors. they walk you through everything. i have been getting so many people who i had no idea their kids had been through this, too. who have reached out to us. and are offering advice and telling us, you know, what they did and what to expect. so, it's been amazing. yesterday, the outpouring of love and support that we received was pretty overwhelming. not the least of which is from all my colleagues at fox and i really want to thank everybody who reached out. it really was very touching. brian: rachel, has any of your other kids gone through this? our sean, any others did you have challenges like this? >> no. that's why it was a little shocking. we have had pretty easy births and really healthy kids. >> we had really easy births. [laughter] she is great at having

babies. this is the first one we have had with complications. and, you know what? it's pretty easy for us in the sense that we're lives. we believe in whatever gifts god gives us we accept them and this is going to a to be a great gift. yeah it's going to be a little more stressful. this baby will have 8 other siblings to wrap their loving arms around her. we will do it as a family. we will figure out a different way to balance our lives. but this little baby couldn't have a better more loving home to come into. we are excited for her to come and but it's going to be easier for her, too. not to have her dad flying back and forth to washington, d.c. someone else can save america, brian, steve, and ainsley, i'm going to take a break. i'm going to come back to politics. i don't know what i'm going to do. it's just at this time i need to take a moment and make sure rachel and i and this baby are healthy and doing well. steve: congressman, i'm sure a lot of people given the fact that we have talked about healthcare for the last couple of years on this program and all across dinner tables around

america, a lot of the people are going what are they going to do about health insurance? you have got health insurance right now. what is your plan because then the child would have pre-existing condition, i would imagine, if you are going to switch healthcare providers, flight you have thought of all of this already? >> yeah. i have. just so you know members of congress don't get health insurance for life. i know you might have seen an email to that effect. can i get on a cobra plan after i leave congress for 18 months. we pay the full boat for that so we can transition and with the condition of the baby, we have that complete coverage. but, yeah, you are right. i had to look at that and make sure that with open heart surgery we had coverage to make sure that, you know, we could pay for that and we have got that worked out. so, thank god that's not a consideration as we look to the birth. brian: now, rachel, we talk about what's next. and can i make a suggestion? of course you would have to green light. this but sean has so many skills, is he a lumberjack by trade. we go back to working in the

woods? put on the plaid and the thermal t-shirt and go back out there? ainsley: or back to the real world? rachel: actually, we used to, before we moved to wausau we lived in a house that did have a wood burning fireplace and sean -- before sean was a congressman he had a lot more time and he actually did chop the wood i' m looking forward to that. that. >> that was 15 to 20 pounds ago. now it would be tougher. i'm not going to be lawn mowing. ainsley: republican strong hold i know the president won by 21 points. you beat your opponent in the midterm election cycle by 22 points. what happens? is there a special election? >> well, the special election, this is a republic leaning seat. democrats have a lot more money than republicans small dollar donors in the democratic party are a lot more aggressive than the republican side. if we ge outspent 2 to 1 i think it could be

challenging. i think when this seat and love for president trump and conservative policies in our economy i think we will hold the seat it. will be a raucous race. president trump called us yesterday and specifically rachel, too. and just gave us his well-wishes and sent us his love. on air force one coming back from the g7 and took the time to call us. i think it speaks a lot about the president and how he values family as well and i thought that was really cool of him. steve: well, it was really good to hear your story first hand from both of you after the news broke yesterday. we wanted to hear you. , our thoughts and prayers are with the duffy family. ainsley: we'll be praying for that little girl. brian: jillian, you are prepared to bring us some news? jillian: good morning to you. start off with the big story we are following. johnson and johnson will appeal a ruling in a landmark opioid trial. the judge ordering the company to pay $572 million for fueling the opioid crisis in oklahoma. that's much less than the

$17 billion sought in the suit. the money will go towards treatment and prevention programs in the state. oklahoma says johnson and johnson sparked the opioid epidemic by oversupplying painkillers and using aggressive marketing tactics. the company denies all wrongdoing. all right. do not mess with this dad. a father tackles a stranger to the ground when he grabs his teenage daughter. eric prague is accused of putting his hands on the girl's shoulder and spinning her around in downtown nashville. he told her she, quote: had a knife but before he could finish the thought dad knocked him right to the ground. craig is charged with assault. take a look at this insane video. raging floodwaters pushing parked cars down the street in madrid, spain. can you see them collide as the rain just sweeps them away. watch as the rushing waters cause giant dumpsters to tumble down the road. the city hit with torrential downpours and heavy hail overnight. thankfully nobody is hurt. look at this, this lizard's luggage must be missing,

blustery conditions to puerto rico. we are hoping that the worst of the storm will remain south of puerto rico. but then we are going to watch it move over the dominican republic. will it be torn up over the next couple of days and will it weaken or will it strengthen? those are questions we have to determine over the next 24 to 48 hours. here's the future radar. this computer model shows the worst of the storms south of the region. and the good news is very small. so we're hoping that the impacts are not going to be as potentially bad as they could be. but as we get into the bahamas. this weekend, my friends, florida, the southeast, and the gulf coast need to monitor. who would have you voted for? >> steve. >> deuce. janice: oh my gosh brian and doocy 1 and 2 here. brian: i'm about to get my trophy in about five minutes. ainsley: oh, no. we should have cooked chopped liver. that's what we're. janice: i feel like chopped liver. steve: i think we are going

deal. his unorthodox style is on display. he called coming into the g7, china's xi xinping an enemy on friday, but departed praising him. >> he is a great leader, president xi. one of the reasons china is a great country they understand how life works. china called last night, our top trade people, said let's bet back to the table. we'll be getting back to the table. reporter: white house not reversed new tariffs set to take effect on september 1st as talks resume. out on campaign trail some 2020 democrats, including vice president biden who vowed not to criticize the president overseas, they were blasting the president. >> this trading war with china is blowing up in his face. >> donald trump has no plan. trade war by tweet is harmful to the u.s. economy. it is harmful to u.s. farmers. reporter: now the president's back in the white house today.

maybe we'll hear more how talks are going. markets, watch the markets opening up in less than an hour, see how they react to all this news,ç guys? steve: griff, thank you very much. the g7 ended to few solutions that the nations wanted to discuss. although the president during his wide-ranging, one of the wide-ranging bilateral meetings yesterday said, that one of the good things, there was a lot of unity, we all got along, even though they could not come to consensus how to deal with a number of very important topics. brian: south korean deal is done. japanese deal is done in principle. the eu is making progress. brexit is officially done regarding trade deals, boris johnson and company are set to launch a new trade deal with us. that was not going to happen in terms -- barack obama famously said if you do brexit you go to the back of the queue. the president said brexit is probably a good idea. the uk gets to split off, do a one-on-one. the other major story is

immigration, illegal immigration. building of the border wall. there was a story in "axios" aid we were not building any new wall after 2 1/2 years. mark morgan pushed back. look at new wall we bit, some of which was replaced but other stuff is new. everything else is contracted. defense money has been released. look for it to go up tune of 40 milesç aweek. ainsley: speaking immigration, the department of homeland security wanted to end the flores agreement, he announced that last week, 19 states and d.c. are suing because they're not in favor of this. they want children to be, they don't want to stay them in detention facilities longer than 20 days. steve: right, the idea behind what the administration wants to do, family units would be kept intact, detained as a family until their case is actually heard, which, we heard last week could be 40, 50 or 60 days.

some have depicted it as indefinite because it is hard to put a number on it, but it is not like they will be there for five years or something like that. so these states are now suing. it is going to be up to u.s. district judge dolly gee. she has to approve the changes. ainsley: she is not going to based on her past. steve: she is the one who changed the law, essentially said it had to be 20 days. chances are they won't be. we heard from some stakeholders suing the federal government. >> lawsuit is led by california's attorney general and massachusetts attorney general, both democrats this is a statement they released this new trump rule callously puts at undermine as decades old agreement to prevent unlawful of immigrant children. we're taking the trump admin operation to court to protect children by unnecessary detention. brian: prior to 2013 before the

flores rule. there were 15,000 unaccompanied minors. after that there was half million. that caused jeh johnson, homeland security department, take action, we'll keep the families together, catch-and-release. catch-and-release. therefore all the illegals flooded into our country with, with tickets to come back for a desk appearance. most of which never showed up. so they're in our interior. this administration came. said, maybe as deterrent we'll separate families. that was a disaster. now theyaid, let's go overturn flores, keep the families together. 45 days, find out if they're worthy of asylum. if they hit all the criteria for asylum which is on the books. or find out if they can stay or go but do it all at once. ainsley: the majority of these families not showing up for court date. this budget year, 475,000 families crossed the border. three times the previous year.ç steve: catch-and-release is one of the loopholes the president

asked congress to close, to change the laws. they have not acted. that is why the the administration is doing this the acting cpb commissioner mark morgan which brian mentioned a moment ago, said this new regulation will actually help families. listen. >> the new flores regulation not only does it meet the flores settlement agreement parameters it, actually exceeds them for the care that we will provide in these residential centers for these children. in addition to that, it actually will make sure that the families are held together. and here's a really quick false narrative that needs to be addressed this is not about indefinite detention. if anybody says that is an absolute lie. we're wanting to hold them together as a family in a good, safe, environment, just during the immigration proceedings which history showed us takes between 40 and 60 days. brian: for people that aren't politicians, do the job, like jeh johnsons of the world, mark

morgan of the worlds, kevin mcaleenan, it is not about anti-kids. this is way dealing with an impossible situation at our border, over a million people who have come across our border, beenç apprehended, let alone al the others that have snuck through. this he is saying best way forward. before you say he is a political hack going out there to do donald trump's dirty work, he was doing same work under this person barack obama. he had the job prior. he was the darling of the left. trying to do the same job. but because he works for president trump he is nowville noised. >> why has it become so political? isn't it common sense if a family comes to the country. we have laws that say do it the right way if they don't do it the right way, we have them in a detention center, we keep them together. we feed them, house them. they go before a judge, the judge can make a determination, if it is too dangerous for them to go home. if not the judge can tell them go back to your country, do it the right way. you're welcome in america. it is common sense.

steve: it has become political for both sides and it became particularly a campaign issue last year when the administration started to enforce the zero tolerance law where the families were separated, the children were separated. we saw those, you know, headlines about the kids in cages, thinks like that. that was you know, a lot of people said, oh, i don't think i like that. that is what they're talking about. that isç why it has become political. brian: one of those people, ivanka trump. the guy came up with the the idea, jeff sessions. steve: enforcing the law which had been on the books since the obama administration. brian: kids have to be released 20 days, so the family doesn't. there was separation for a little while. they quickly fixed that. they're trying to find a way to deincentivize all the american countries heard about catch-and-release, started coming by the tens of thousands. in may it was 144 crossed the

border. we're heading toward as million. countries are emptying out into our country aabuseing the system. this is one way to get ahold of our borders. politics should not be involved in this. steve: it has gone to the courts. we'll see what happens. 12 minutes after the top of the hour. ainsley: jillian has some headlines. jillian: two children are dead and 10 people are hurt after a stabbing suspect crash as stolen police car. watch this.

>> there is no cure for trump derangement syndrome, is there? what she said is absolutely absurd. she perpetuates the narrative that donald trump had hostileç takeover the republican party. 18% thought george w. bush was too liberal. 38% think donald trump views are about right. 36% thought george w. bush's views were about right. 39% believe donald trump is too conservative. the same number believe the george w. bush was too conservative. people perceive donald trump and george w. bush idealogical mirrors. how is it that the republican party should be burned down because what donald trump has done to it. he has done nothing to it as far as most americans are concerned. brian: 88% of republicans support him. i seen numbers even higher than that what about the fact that the words she used, burn them down, burn down the party, there can't be any survivors, where does that come from?

>> you tell me. what about that psychiatrist who was on cnn on the weekend who said that in this century, donald trump is more destructive th responsible for many more deaths than they were. where dough you go from there? what do you do with that? i have no idea what to say. steve: think about the jennifer rubin at "the washington post," she is their conservative columnist. that is what they call(hdr. >> that is why they hire her. they hire these columnists who purport to be conservatives. purport to be republicans, dumb on republican party. hired bret stevens from "the new york times." david brooks. the guys purport to be republicans in fact all they do is trash the republican party. that is why they got their gigs. ainsley: it is interesting, said these people are not fit for polite society. >> right, right. >> people who support president trump, they're not fit for polite society. why is that polite for her to

say that, talk about burning down? go ahead. >> why is it okay for maxine waters to say whenever you see a trump cabinet member, form a crowd, let them know they're not welcome anywhere, anymore. all donald trump did about the squad was tell them to leave the country. they're telling trump supporters to leave the world. they're not welc anywhere, anymore? this thing is trump derangement syndrome. there is no cure for it. steve: it's a sad commentary that the two sides are so polarized. >> it is. more people believe that donald trump is racist than believe that george wallace was racist back in 1968. george wallace, said segregation now, segregation tomorrow,ç segregation forever. more people believe donald trump was morassist than george wallace. 86% of republicans believe donald trump is a racist. are you serious? steve: read all about it in the "washington post." larry, thank you very much.

go there, we're expecting this? >> well, you know, i, what i wanted was an opportunity for my family to connect with, with the civility and love that i had always experienced when my brother will and i were growing up. one thing we knew for sure, every july we would get packed in the car, drive from our home in louisville, kentucky, down to our reunion in pineville. the love that washed over us, acceptance, hunting for salamanders, mountain lore i remembered from my child. i wanted to share it with my husband and our two sons. steve: here in new york, it's a very left-leaning area. when you go to kentucky, you know, you've got the beauty of your family, you have got people of all political stripes there, they all have strong opinions. when you're in a reunion for a couple of days, it is easy to start yelling at each other. >> i don't know what is it like at your thanksgiving table, butç

at our -- right. we can go at it. we can't even agree how to spell our name. when you're driving up to the reunion, there are signs with two different spellings so no one gets confused which way to go. we do agree on our connection to each other, the level of civility. we assume goodness because, that is, if you go into a discussion about that, but no, we don't always agree on the same politics. you know what? we don't try to change each other's minds either. steve: that is critical. these days in politics, i will tell you my point of view, i'm going to keep telling you, until you come around to my way of thinking. >> i think there is a trust there. there are cousins for whom, i don't necessarily agree with all of their views. steve: right. >> i know they love me unconditionally. it is okay for me to feel, you know -- steve: how do you do that? people are looking in. you see the polls how polarized

we are. people unfriended people on social media. people don't walk to family members, one is a democrat, one is a republican? >> for one thing you have to embrace your characters, your family characters. i hear about people, they don't go to this reunion or that, don't likeç aunt jane. also i think connecting civility, when you're elbow to elbow at the picnic table there, is no identity politics. you know, you have to talk it out. you can't unfriend. you can't ghost. steve: some of the conversations, did you talk about immigration? did you talk about trump's wall? >> we talked a little bit about the wall. i felt like there was fair amount of support for the wall. we talked about the military, right? i have a lot of cousins in the military. to be able to have their perspective, i don't get as much of that where i live. so that was huge, for me and my sons. we talked about the opioid crisis. you know, we're experiencing that in our family as well. we have funny stories.

one of my cousins sons came back from bible camp. he talked about how he learned to make mixed drinks. we're like what? turns out he was talking about mixed sugary soft drinks. we chuckled. we laughed. steve: what do you think your sons learned about embracing the other political side? >> i think they learned a different point of view. think they learned not to try to change minds. my cousins felt the same way.ç they got a real feeling. they talked to one of my cousins who is a marine. now they understand. we don't have as many friends who are sending children to war, right but in kentucky my cousins know all about that. to have that connection was important. we talked about racial polarization. we were able to get different people's points of view where that is going. steve: sounds if you made the case to your sons, because somebody has a different

political point of view, they're not a bad person? >> well. don't we all make that case to our families? i hope so. i certainly tried. my cousins, tried as well. so. steve: a great column. read about it in the "wall street journal"? >> "wall street journal." steve: caroline, thanks for coming. >> thanks for having me. steve: what do you think about that? email us at friends at foxnews.com. president trump says china trade negotiations are back on. could there be a deal closer? we'll talk to senator lindsey graham of south carolina coming up next. ♪ [music playing] (vo) this is jerry. jerry has a membership to this gym, but he's not using it. and he has subscriptions to a music service he doesn't listen to and five streaming video services he doesn't watch. this is jerry learning that he's still paying for this stuff he's not using. he's seeing his recurring payments in control tower

there would be a meeting, visiting a person would help my count very's development solve problems of the people, i would not miss it. that is major difference i will never meet with president trump he said a month ago. do you believe the president should follow through what macron is trying to broker that is a meeting with rouhani of iran? >> i really don't care if they meet. i appreciate what president trump has done to crush the iranian economy. they are trying to build a nuclear weapon, dismember the mid-east. the question is, what will they talk about? there is no good deal that will allow iran to enrich, processing uranium and plutonium. that is how awe make a bomb. the only good deal is have their nuclear program. they get their fuel from other sources. that is how you make a bomb. ainsley: what reaction to the states, there are 19 states, d.c. suing the administration

because the president wants toç end the flores agreement. he want children to stay with their families in the detention center until they face the judge which could take 40 to 60 days? >> these states are supporting the magnets of illegal immigration. the reason we're being overrun is two reasons. if you come here and claim asylum your hear something three years away, you never show up. we don't hold people for three years. all they have to do is ask for asylum. if you bring a minor child, we can only hold the child 20 days. turn the child to hhs. since you don't want to separate families, we let entire family go. they continue a bad practice. shame on states and district of columbia. congress should change the law to hold minor children and families long enough to process the claims so you dent let them out into the interior of the country. steve: explain to us, senator, we've been chewing on this a

while, why has such an important issue become so political? democrats do not want -- >> they hate trump. they hate trump. steve: we get that. but at the same time, this is a humanitarian crisis at our southern border. it would seem that you know -- >> they hate trump.ç >> i know they hate trump. i know, we send you people to washington to fix stuff and you're not fixing it? >> send people to washington who don't hate trump. i have been working on immigration for 10 years. i'm willing to deal with daca population. give them a place to stay in country. pathway to citizenship. i'm willing to spend money in central america to make life better. i have done everything i know to do, turn blue in the face, can't get one democrat to agree with me you should apply for asylum in central america, mexico, not the united states, because we don't have the capability to deal with asylum claims.

most of them are fraudulent. i can't get one democrat to agree to allow children held with their families humanely, 40, 50, 100 days to process claims. they literally want them released in the united states. they continue practice of asylum applied for in the united states. it has never ending trail. the trail to get here is terrible for women and children. they will not work with me. they will not work with president trump. i am dumfounded why we can't find compromise. brian: you had a great compromise bill got out of committee. the chance of 60ç votes in the senate, in the house as well. pivot to afghanistan. september 1st looks as though the ninth round of talks is supposed to produce a peace agreement with afghanistan, very soon all the troops come out. the taliban have half the country. they're working on a deal with the taliban i guess to give it all back. what is your greatest concern? many people listening said i'm done with that war. we've been doing it for 19

years. what does lindsey graham say is at stake? >> right. well, number of one, you may be tired of fighting radical islam, they are not tired of fighting you. you might get a peace deal with the taliban. the president put a hurting of the taliban. they have 30% of the country. 20% of the public agrees with them in afghanistan. 80% do not want to go back to the good ol' days of taliban where you kill women in soccer stadiums for sport and young women cannot ever go to school. you might end the war with taliban. al qaeda is alive and well in afghanistan. isis is stronger today than they ever have been in afghanistan. they will hit us if we leave. i'm telling the president, i applaud you for trying to lower the cost. you've done a good job hurting taliban. you can't trust the taliban to take care of isis and al qaeda. there isç no substitute for american forces in afghanistan to protect the american homeland from radical islam. there will be another 9/11 if we pull the plug. if you don't believe me, ask the generals in the intelligence community. >> how many, how long?

how many troops, how long should they stay? >> under 10,000. that is great accomplishment by president trump, until the threat is alleviated. until al qaeda and isis no longer can enjoy safe haven, until their numbers are diminished they can't her us. our security is not based on the day we leave, but what we leave behind. we still have troops in korea. we still have troops in japan, germany. we lost two american soldiers a couple days ago. they were defending america from al qaeda and isis. al qaeda and isis are not interested in peace. they are interested in purifying islam, destroying all the jews they can, destroying israel and coming after us. if you don't get that after the last 18 years, you're not watching what is going on in afghanistan and throughout the world. so the good news is, we can protect the american homeland for less than 10,000 troops with intel capability. if we pull the plug and turn afghanistan over to the taliban and other element, they're coming back here again and that

would be the biggest mistake any president would make. brian: are we about to,ç senat, are we about to do that, do you think? >> i don't think so. i have talked to president trump. he understands the need for a counterterrorism force to watch al qaeda and isis who will never be part of a peace deal. he understands the intelligence gathering capability we have in afghanistan, not only protects us, protects the whole region. he is about to start a new relationship with pakistan where pakistan will deny safe haven to the taliban. i like president trump's foreign policy he is frustrated about the war but 18 years ago the taliban ruled afghanistan brutally. how many countries can be formed in 18 years? six million girls are in school today. there is a lot of activity, economic activity in afghanistan. they're trading with the world, including us. there has been a lot of progress. it has come at a heavy price. the one thing about the war in afghanistan, if you take your eye off the ball it will come here. this is where the 9/11 plots

were hatched and planned. when the taliban took over, invited al qaeda to be their honored guests. that is how 9/11 started. the same thing will happen if we leave but the good news we can keep a small force there and be safe. ainsley: senator lindsey graham. thanks so much for beingç with us. brian: makes a lot of sense. he has been there multiple times. reality on the ground. 15 minutes before the top of the hour. jillian. jillian: congressman sean duffy speak out about his decision to retire from congress. his family prepared to welcome their ninth child. she has a heart condition. duffy and his wife, rachel campos duffy joined us earlier. >> our baby had a couple holes in the heart, after she is born, two to six months after life, she will need open-heart surgery. they have to crack her open, fix the heart. they walked us through this. as i was leaving congress to meet with a heart doctor what

will happen with the baby. i love politics. i love my family. >> we've always been looking for signs this was a sign, not only reason. it is just, it is just an indication of the ban width is getting really tight here. at some point you have to put your family first. i really feel proud what sean has done in eight 1/2 years in congress. jillian: duffy's last day will be september 24th. a college professor who claims to be part of antifa resigns. jeff klinsmann, leaving kirkwood community college, afterç sellg people he supports the violent leftist group. he defended controversial facebook posts including a comment that he wanted to clock president trump with a bat. kirkwood insists the decision was not due to his political views but insure student safety. radio interview takes unexpected turn. look what happens when a fourth commentator gets caught using his phone while driving.
