"fox & friends" starts with a live audience right now. ♪ ♪ steve: well, welcome to a special edition of "fox & friends" we said yesterday we would have a live studio audience and today we do. and it is special. ainsley: we have our first responders in the wake of this hurricane that's hitting our great country and everything that's happening to this war on cops in this country, we wanted to honor them. brian: wait a second, where are they? you said we have first responders all i see is this huge studio. steve: ladies and gentlemen, here they are. here are the heroes. come on in guys and gals. brian: normally i feel so much safer. ♪ only in america. carley: thank you so much. welcome to fox.

ainsley: look at these beautiful uniforms. y'all look amazing. thank you so much. steve: they come from all over the country. ainsley: thank you all for being here. how are you, thank you so much. thank you so much. thank you, sir. look forward to talking to you throughout the show. hi, everyone. brian: they are perfectly quiet and ready for action. ainsley: all these men in blue. i should have wore blue. steve: and women as well. steve: ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. they deserve a round of applause. thank you. [applause] brain brian let's be clear the only way we get today

red, white camera. ainsley: we definitely feel safe. it is our pleasure to have you here in the studio the next three hours. we are going to start with a fox news alert. we have been talking about this for 10 days. right now hurricane dorian is slamming north carolina with rain and wind and the threat of tornadoes. ainsley: it is now a category 1 storm. and it's sparking over a dozen tornadoes in the carolina area. you can see houses in brunswick county being ripped apart. brian: hasnie is live in north carolina threatens storm surge happening some time today. aishah. >> yeah. good morning to you. the good news is that dorian, which was actually just that way, the eye, not too far away from more head where i'm standing is now sort of passing by. we are getting hit by the outer bands every few, i would say, 20 minutes we get slammed by these really strong wind gusts which have picked up all the rain

flying around a few gusts come every few seconds and you can see it floating around here. right now the city of morehead is under a mandatory curfew it. started 9:00 last night. we were actually pulled over by police here last night as we were coming in which is awesome because they do such a good job protecting this community. they wanted to know who we were, why we were still on the road. why we weren't taking shelter yet. so they're keeping everybody safe right now. the other piece of good news is that power was out earlier a couple hours ago and it is back on. so that's good news as well. that means that first responders can see where they are going if they need a response and power lines are down and trees are down. they are going to be a lot safer knowing where they are going before the sun comes up. like i said, dorian was just that way towards the beach, atlantic beach, emerald ill. not too far away from here. and we could feel the intensity probably as close as we are going to get to

the eye of the storm. and here comes that band again that's going to whip me around. sometimes it whips me so hard i can't breathe. that's how strong this storm has been. thankfully it is moving out of morehead now and moving northeast. steve: it is indeed. aishah has any thank you very much. ainsley: she was in charleston, south carolina. she said it's worse than north carolina. steve: we have been talking about the storms the last 10 days. meantime pete hegseth weekend "fox & friends" co-host and army veteran. [applause] pete: good morning. brian: feel right at home in the uniform as well. pete: thank you, guys. ainsley: pete, these are the men and women that support our community that really keep us all safe and many of them feel neglected by our mayor. and last night he is running for president. and he was on with tucker

for an hour. he was on the show with hannity a few weeks ago and then on with tucker last night. the interview was friendly at some moments and combative at others. did you watch it. pete: i did. tucker had him on automation and challenged him about leadership and the city. these guys and gals know even more than i do and i know in a military context. you just want to do your job and you want to know someone has your back when you do your job and that's all about leadership. when you look at bill de blasio in new york city the cops here who are trying to do their job every single day look at a mayor who they know will throw them under the bus in 10 seconds if they make a tough call in a moment. ainsley: many of them are shaking their heads, yeah. pete: that's the problem. you see incidents arising more and more. they start small and get bigger. they don't get addressed. running around the country with a vanity campaign running for president. steve: he was in new york according to the "new york post" seven days. pete: seven hours. he didn't even log a full

work day in new york city. i was at the minnesota state fair looking at the beans the informal poll. ainsley: corn. oh, right. pete: i got around the corner of the beans and there is bill de blasio's. and if you can count the number of beans in your silo, you are not in good shape. he has three beans. total beans. this guy has no chance. there is no rationale for his candidacy. he points to his leadership of the city. anyone who spends time here feels the fabric of our city. brian: fueled by wall street and look at the diminishing crime numbers -- amount of crimes and arrests made. there is more to that. but here he is last night with tucker defending the city that we all see decaying. >> we have challenges, no doubt. and i don't accept the situation like that. i am someone who believes quality of elife has to be addressed aggressively. i believe in quality of life

is policing. that kind of situation is unacceptable. the big picture is we are the safest big city in america. it is proven statistically time and time again. 500,000 new jobs since i became mayor. largest number of jobs in our history right now. the strongsest economy we have ever had. we have problems unquestionably. there is also a lot of areas where this city is doing very, very well. and the bottom line here is that we're addressing. brian: we know where the city was under rudy giuliani. many years with mike bloomberg and we know where it is. pete: he is resting on the back of that. i'm not going to give a lecture on policing. you talk about quality of life policing. it started with rudy giuliani did. i think is he going to be on. steve: in one hour. pete: small incidents, when you police them up and address them, we saw it on the battlefield in sumar in the counter injure genesee and address certain issues early on and create the conditions where things can improve.

quality of life policing sounds like some rapper he is putting on doing nothing and letting people get away with small things which has the opposite effect of creating an environment of lawlessness. ainsley: asked tucker why he drives an suv. >> he says i don't go that for a. he has a driver. brian: we see what happened in new york city and horrible situation where you see these officers trying to do their job and being hit by water and now we have some more video of police officers at a fire and look what happens. [screams] [boos] >> all these firefighters show up to fire. in bronx. steve: on tuesday, 5:00. the police had evacuated the building. everybody was outside. apparently things did get rowdy at one point.

and a lot of people had milk there. and the reason apparently they had milk the resident told the post people had milk because the cops were pepper spraying everybody. the police have not said whether or not that did happen. nonetheless, they put out a picture, an image of the particular milk thrower. and now crime stoppers is trying to figure out who this guy is they say. ainsley: they did chase him. they weren't able to apprehend him. steve: that man is wanted for assault there is a reward as well. pete: to me watching that video. the instinct that okay, i can throw some milk or throw water at a cop and i'm going to get away with it. laugh about it. film it. everything is going to be fine. the instinct on the other side of these law enforcement officers just trying to do their job who ultimately are resigned to a reality where these type of things are happening to them. whether it's water or milk. because they don't feel like they can crack down the way they need to to create an environment where a new normal is created where law enforcement is respected.

they did chase him down eventually. that's the kind of thing where you shouldn't even speak about the ability to do something like that. admit it happens. it's responded to immediately. that's not the officer's fault. that's the environment of a lack of leadership that so-called presidential candidate bill de blasio -- ainsley: the conversation in this country has really changed. lawmakers going to restaurants and harassed with their families. they have to think okay, wife, husband, how do we prepare for this if we get in this situation. you have firefighters. you have police on the street. they have to think what do we do when this happens? pete: how did we get to that place? ainsley: "new york post" says cow dare you. calling these men and women cows. pete: it resonates so much with people. you see another side of the aisle entire party saying we are the party of illegality, we are the party of non-citizenship he says last time i checked america still matters.

steve: right. can we see the hands of the people here today, the first responders in law enforcement who have encountered anything like that in the last year or so in new york or wherever you are? brian: hit with water, hit with milk. disrespected, taunted? ainsley: know anyone who has? steve: who would like to talk on tv right now. i would imagine everybody. where is garrard. garrard is over here on the end. garrard. good morning to you. how are you? all right. hey. what do you make of the fact that, first of all, what did you think of the video where the guy, the police officer was pelted with milk now? >> well, i represent firefighters but i will speak on behalf of the police as a citizen of new york. >> they are integral part. fight the fire. seeing that it's horrible. you know. these guys are going to work like we do every day.

and all they want to feel is respect and appreciation. and you know, when you go to work and you don't feel either one of those, you get depressed. steve: do you feel that way? >> i don't personally. i'm very happy with my job and i think, you know, most firefighters are. we have our complaints in some aspects. steve: of course. >> most of the time we do feel appreciated most of the time we get there they need us, they want us. steve: thank you very much for your service. where is george? george is down at the other end. i'm getting my steps. in george, who do you work for? >> i work for the fire officers of new york city. steve: all right. >> i can tell you previously it wai was a police officer for five years. most difficult job i have had in my life. steve: what do you make of the fact there are a lot of police officers in new york city. in new york city a uniform police officer right now would be hard to speak out on camera about this but so many feel like city hall just doesn't have their

back? >> city hall is a tough job. you know, i couldn't really begin to fathom the depth. it's a demanding job. probably one of the most demanding political jobs in the country and being a police officer. you -- in my experience, you are looking over your shoulder in every direction from the department, from the people. it's a very challenging job and as the -- as a firefighter, i'm very happy. steve: very good. bobby in the front row? stand up, sir. how are you? a fire guy, right? >> yes. steve: thank you for your service. >> thank you very much. steve: thank you for getting up so early with us. >> it's quite all right. steve: at least we didn't wake you one a siren. >> no, no. it's quite all right. steve: what do you make of the feeling that a lot of men and women in uniform have -- the bosses just don't have their back. >> it's disappointing. our number one concern is our health and safety. both the health and safety of the police officers we

work with we work side by side with them every day. and it's something you worry about, you know, garrard said you are trying to go in a fire and trying to brexit everybody there and cops have the same issue. now we have to worry about something else. a building under fire is a building under demolition. there is enough issues with that going on we don't need people throwing things at cops and throwing things at us. it's very unfortunate that that seems to be the atmosphere that's tolerated in new york city. steve: daunting enough to know you are running into a building that's on fire. you don't want to have to worry about the people who are outside. >> absolutely. steve: sir, thank you very much. thank you all, ladies and gentlemen, for joining us today. we are going to talk to you throughout the three hours. in the meantime carley joins us right now with a look at the news. carley: that's right. good morning, guys. got a major update to bring you here. a cell phone may have caused the devastating boat fire in california. according to the "l.a. times" the crew member believes the fire started in the gally where phones and batteries were charging overnight. annual official cause is

expected next week. 34 people were killed when the scuba boat caught fire and sank. crew members tell the ntsb they tried to save the people sleeping below deck but the fire was too intense to get them. also breaking overnight. robert, the long time president and dictator of zimbabwe has died. he ruled the african country nearly 40 years. during his reign he used the country's military to kill and intimidate opponents. his economy also collapsed under his watch. he was ousted from power in a military coup in 2017. he died in a singapore hospital he was 95 years old: prosecutors say a mechanic glued foam inside a system that monitors speed. pilots forced to abort takeoff miami airport with 150 people on board in july.

ari, you were not reading. the president was. do you remember your mind set before going? he was going to be the education president, remember? >> yeah and that whole fall was supposed to be on cultures of character and things of that nature. and the world changed in that brief moment. i will never forget it, brian, it was the most emotional difficult time i had at the white house. it's very hard to be here with all this great group of people here. everybody here in this room and all your friends and loved ones and people you served with and serve with now you are what it's about. and you bring back the emotion of that day just seeing you. thank you to all. ainsley: tell us what happened on that day. i know you are standing against the wall. we saw that video when andy card walks up and whispers in his ear. >> i had an old faced pager. i'm walking out of the motorcade. the president just arrived at the school. i get a page saying the urge plane went into the world trade tower. terrible accident. president told about it.

thinking it's just an accidents. as the president is reading. i get a second page i said the second tower has been hit. at that moment i knew it had to be terrorism. third seconds later andy card walked in the room terribly unusual and whispered in the america's ear the president is under attack. steve: he sat there for a number of minutes without getting up. the white house was criticized for not going directly back to washington. all those i think it was dick cheney who said mr. president, don't come back, we have got things under control right now. so he went to louisiana and then went to strategic air command in. >> in nebraska. >> in omaha and then back to the nation's capital. >> who people don't know when we boarded air force one three planes had already hit of the four. we boarded air force one. we are told there are six unidentified aircraft in the sky that have not responded. so everybody wanted president bush to stay out of washington.

the secret service. and air force base personnel. air force personnel and if you ask colonel tillman the pilot of air force one. even if the president had ordered him to go back to washington he wasn't going to do it. brian: what was your role in your mind what are you saying to yourself what is ari fleischer press secretary be the president's spokesperson at a time when everyone is making their own conclusions. >> brian, did i something unusual that day. normally go to air force one and get in your seat in the staff cabin. i spent virtually the entire day in the president's cabin taking verbatim notes recognizing what a day of history this was. ainsley: we are at war. thank you, ari, for being with us. steve: we have about a dozen first responders here today who were there working in new york city on 9/11. all right. thank you. ainsley: 24 minutes after the top of the hour. still ahead tunnel 2 towers ceo and our friend frank siller joins us live in our studio audience coming up

steve: 105. 11. ainsley: another book they're getting is jason chaffetz book. brian: power grab. steve: jason, let's talk to you a little bit about this. recently a facebook post on a page threatened to make public a list of almost 100 local businesses in pittsburgh that were owned by trump supporters. apparently the page has been taken down. also, a similar social media driven boycott was directed at one of connecticut's most popular pizza parlors. frank pep pay pizzeria. what do you make of kind of a political movement on the left trying to silence people who support the president? >> they try to intimidate and shame them. sarah huckabee sanders went out for a wheel. will and grace stars wanting to put together literally a blacklist give us the names of everybody who is donating because we want to know who

we shouldn't work with in hollywood. it is pervasive and tactic of the left. brian: new? >> not necessarily new. it's going to heat up into 20206789 i will tell you what, conservatives, we just want to relax and be part of the fabric of motorcycle. we don't want the problems that we just kind of shy away from. they know that. they prey upon it. this are trying to do this to intimidate people. ainsley: thankfully the will and grace stars walked it back a little bit. they got a lot of criticism. whoopi goldberg who most the time we do not agree with she said i'm not for. >> that was the black list they called it out. susan sarandon and whoopi goldberg they called it out. talk to people like dean cain who has been on this couch many times and other celebrities that's exactly what they do. it happens at the hollywood level and happens in pittsburgh and other places too. they are trying to shame people. brian: people don't necessarily change who they are going to vote for. they just keep it to themselves. makes you wonder does any poll remotely reflect where

the american people are at? >> this is why all of a sudden donald trump wins 30 of the 50 states. i think donald trump is stronger politically than he has ever been before. these kind of tactics going after the average person, right? , the average person just fires people up. when they go try to take your guns, when they try to go do all this other stuff, it motivates those trump voters to come out. brian: did he just call us average? i thought i was above average. >> well, we have got above average and below average. steve: since we are talking about 2020,. ainsley: i'm chop liver, too. steve: let's talk a little bit since we are talking about 2020. let's talk about 2016. and essentially the theme of your book, power grab, the liberals seem to undermine trump and the republican party is about how they -- people on the political left are trying to invalidate the results of the 2016 election. >> there are tactics and things that i thought -- i was in congress 8 and a half years, chairman of the

oversight committee. they are using the levers of government to try to negate the 2016 election. but then do things in the 2020 that they should never ever do. part of it is that intimidation. part of it is using public charities. i hope you get to look at the "wall street journal" kim strassel wrote an article about this how public charities to try to get things that they couldn't do otherwise. brian: nonprofits? >> not for profit. but there are a lot of tactics and things that they do to try to change the way we are doing the election. they want to change the electoral college. they want to make legal. they are doing all of these things and doing them behind the scenes. that's what's scary. steve: tell us about one thing people have not heard about. >> vote harvesting. if the democrats have their way, they want to be able to go out and collect everybody's ballots without you even have to go to the poll. you can supposedly sign it. but they want to collect it. they did it in california. they took about 8 seats from republicans in california.

steve: they picked up the votes? >> they picked up the votes and turn them n mass. they did n arizona and california. and they want to make this legal all across the country. ainsley: what happens. >> i think john durham, the u.s. attorney, will prosecute mr. mccabe. that's my best guess. it's a guess innocent until proven guilty. but the horowitz report now a year and a half in the making i think will be some of the most damning evidence we have seen about fisa abuse and the origins of the russia probe. ainsley: any messages for our first responders? >> god bless you. thank you, thank you, thank you. [applause] steve: all right. jason chaffetz. new book came out this week it's called power grab. >> thank you. thank you very much. ainsley: now to a fox news alert. we're all watching hurricane dorian. we have been for almost a week. could it make landfall in north carolina? brian: how many times have we said this meteorologist janice dean joins us live as north carolina braces for a direct hit.

janice? janice: we are seeing landfall right now we think in a matter of moments. so the center of circulation is what we look at coming across land. it's the lowest pressure point. it doesn't mean we are not going to seat same results though. it's just a matter for the history books. and if this storm makes a landfall across u.s. mainland, we think the best chance for that is going to be across cape hatteras. and it will probably happen within the next couple of minutes. that's the satellite presentation. let's switch over to the radar. and you can see the worst of the storm surge, the worst of the core of the hurricane force winds right here in the red here. right near ocracoke and hatteras. there is the center south of that let's take a look at the radar in motion here. yeah, i think we could be seeing landfall in a few minutes over cape hatteras and certainly keep you up to date. we will see the same results even if it doesn't make a landfall. and that is hurricane force winds. storm surge of 4 to 7 feet. upwards of a foot of rainfall and then we are

still going to see the results of this storm or the impacts across portions of new england on saturday. but the worst of it will be gone and then it will be a canadian problem as we head into saturday and sunday. and if i could, i'm wrapping up. but can i say hello to my fellow firefighter friends and our first responders and, of course, our police officers, i love you all. i will be coming down at some point to give you all a huge hug. i hope that that's okay.

>> this country has gripped the country for month the case of a missing connecticut mother jennifer dulos last seen in may and her body has never been found. >> this week her estranged husband was arrested for a second time charged with evidence tampering and just yesterday his girlfriend turned herself in to police and faces the same charges. steve: here to break down all the details emily compagno. this sounds like this guy's girlfriend has been telling the police a lot of damaging information to him. >> exactly. this story just went from bad to worse, frankly with this new 38 page warrant. she has cracked and his attorneys are calling her the lying lover. look don't believe anything

she has said. she said with police she never spent morning women. i only met him nut afternoon. she has also said that he handed me things that were saturated with what he calls coffee. it didn't smell like coffee. explosively in the warrant the two largest things are that the car that he borrowed from his employee who he told to switch out the seats and get it cleaned was found with the blood of estranged wife and secondly that they had notes that they had written to themselves for what they should say to the police. steve: keep the record straight. keep the story straight? >> exactly. where they were on that day, what they did. their staged alibi. ainsley: he told his girlfriend that he had to get the car cleaned because he spilled coffee. >> yes. then he told his employee that he should clean the car because he hugged his estranged wife a few days before she went missing so just in case. brian: the next step this sounds like is heading towards a conclusion. what's it going to take. >> we will see. right now this new warrant. steve: there is no murder

charge yet. why is it evidence tampering. there is her blood in the car. the girlfriend is telling all sorts of stories about this and you would think there would be a murder charge. >> right. that's the argument of his attorneys. they say where is the murder charge. you are wasting time with my client right now instead of looking for jennifer, finding her body. i think the answer is sentencing is on the 18th. so they are facing a five year felony and hopefully a larger conclusion to come. as of for now it just keeping going from bad to worse. the more details, too, like the day after he reported his wife missing when he went to the cops and told them everything, he refused to meet with. they he refused to turn over his cell phone so really from the first minute this guy was a bad guy. ainsley: wealthy family. five children together. the mother is now gone and father is behind bars. >> she reported to officials during that custody battle i'm scared for my life. i know that he has this temper and he has revenge out for me. steve: keep an eye on that. emily, thank you very much. >> thanks, guys. steve: straight ahead on

[applause] is it possible to nine days

from 9/11 and not get emotional if you are mayor rudy giuliani? >> . i took a young lady, a 14-year-old girl that wanted to seat museum last week. i have only been there twice. i have actually gone through it once. the first time i couldn't get through it. i thought it wasn't going to be that emotional. it was just going around, walking around. kind of brings back to you, as i'm sure they all remember it brings back to you things you have forgotten. people you saw. things that you saw. so, yeah, it's very, very emotional. it's wonderful to be here with these heroes. ainsley: 14 years old. brian: 12 of them here on 9/11. >> wasn't alive and she was very, very curious about it. she had all kinds of questions about it. she goes to a very good school so she knows history like one of the exceptional kids now aday who enjoys history. and i wanted her to know personally whether a september 11th is all about.

ainsley: there is a part of the museum in the very back to go and listen to if you can the tour guides don't really take you in this direction you can listen to a phone call of a man that was on the plane saying goodbye to his wife and leaving the message on their answering machine. what stuck out to you. >> that brings in my mind -- brings in my mind the seconds press conference i had that day. near the end of it and a reporter put up her hand and say did you hear that recording of the woman who was on the plane going into the pentagon? talking to her husband the solicitor general? and it was the first time i really lost it. we had been there, we had been trapped for a while. we got out. we all did it automatically. the reason was i knew who that was that was barbara olsen. very good friend of mine. i had just seen him four days before. five days before. she had just put out a book will hillary clinton. and she had come to new york

to promote it and we had a nice visit in the mayor's office. and it was like out of left field. i was already use to the fact that the judge was gone. he. steve: judge? >> father judge. what did i say? wanted to make sure i got it right. i don't want to be like joe biden. [laughter] i can't help it. you got to always fool around. tom vanessen was a fire firefighter. he would come up with the funniest books. president bush got in the car. president bush put his arm on tom. steve: he was the fire commissioner? >> he said to him tommy, what are you going through, are you doing okay? he knew how many men he lost. thought it was 500, 600, what's the difference? it was horrible. tommy said yeah, yeah. i got lucky last night. my wife came home. [laughter]

that's what you are like. and president bush always remembered it. the next time he saw him about 10 days later at a firehouse next time he comes in you still getting lucky? it worked one night. steve: mayor, one of the things, here we are on the verge of being 18 years after 9/11, there are a lot of people, young americans do not really know of the story. they knew something bad happened. but, you know, a lot of people have moved past it. >> it's good if you move past it. it's not good if you forget it. two things. it's like the death of somebody you love, particularly a catastrophic death. not a natural death like a parent who dies very old or if you god forbid lost a child or you lost a husband or a wife. middle age. you don't get over it. but as time goes by. the pain you put somewhere. brian: you deal with it? >> when i think of my mother

and father, my father has been gone 30 years and it hurts me. i'm. but if i think about it. i think gosh, i would like to have him around. you can't forget this for another reason though, it's not over. this isn't pearl harbor. it will some day be pearl harbor. in other words, the thing that caused it will be solved. in that case japan, germany, italy. the people who killed us then, that movement is still alive. and it's killing us today. our soldiers in afghanistan, or doing terrorist acts. when i talk about that i talk about the islamic extremist movement. iran typifies it. iran is probably the biggest supporter of it. the biggest funder of it. killing people every day inside iran and trying real hard to kill people outlines of iran. brian: they killed hundreds of our guys in iraq. >> we still have the really bad taliban. and we have forms of al qaeda and isis for example

in the middle of south america three or four of the major terrorist groups islamic terrorist groups are involved in the drug trade. they are involved in making money with the drug dealers. brian: where? >> the triangle that would involved ecuador. it would involve venezuela, venezuela generals are involved in the drug trade and they are hiding tears as well. which is one of the reasons we had to get rid of maduro. we think of maduro being a problem isolated there you have a hostile regime like that. insane regime like that and the terrorists -- the point is the movement is still going on. ainsley: what about this city? for us all of our dreams came true in this city. these are the men and women working the streets keeping us all safe in the city. when i was living in south carolina growing up, as much as i levied the south and i'm so grateful for it, this

was my dream. i would watch you on tv during 9/11. i was a local reporter. i came up. you invited an elementary school from the state of south carolina. >> i remember. ainsley: come participate in the macy's day parade they raised money for a new fire truck for one of the ladders. they were so proud of it and reported on the local news. i got a chance to visit fox news and to go on all the media circuits with you and i was just in awe. and now i'm living my dream. i watched mayor de blasio on tucker carlson's show last night and hannity's show a couple weeks ago. i'm a christian and i love him but i don't love what he is doing to this city. when i moved here everyone said you cleaned up times square. i don't want it to go back to that. how do you feel about mayor de blasio and the direction of this great city. >> it breaks my heart. i worked tirelessly to do that. there were times i didn't think i could do it. a lot of my friends told me i couldn't do it. a lot of my friends told me

i was crazy to run for mayor. i used to very popular. i used to be the u.s. attorney. and had name recognition 90, 95%. the state is easy to repluck the republican governor the mayor. i couldn't win. and if i won it would be a disaster because the last republican mayor john had to flee the republican party. it was pretty much not successful but i love the city. i think it's an exceptional city. there is none like it in the world. and to see this man break down -- not only what i do what you bloomberg did. bloomberg and i don't see eye to eye on politics but i thought it was a good mayor. might have done it differently than me. he kept the city -- he turned over to de blasio the best run city in america. bash none. bar none. not just crime. brian: he says he made it better. >> ha!

he must be smoking something. [laughter] brian: he might be. >> i wonder what that would be? steve: mayor,. >> that could be part of the problem here. steve: men and women in uniform in this city who feels like the mayor does not have their back. >> that's why they turn their back on him because of the irresponsible comments that he made before the slaughter of urge ramos and lou, two wonderful police officers who were assassinated. they weren't killed in a shoot out. a guy came from baltimore he picked new york city. he will could have picked any other city. he picked new york city and he came up behind them and he assassinated them. i think i know why they turned their back on him. and you look at the conditions of the street. look at the homelessness in the city. homelessness was gone. homelessness should be gone there is a way to look at homelessness that these liberals just don't get. when i sa i see a city with

homeless people i see a mayor who doesn't give a damn about people. when you give a damn about people you don't let them sleep on the street. if you got a call and told your brother or sister was sleeping on the sleep street. would you give them $20, give them food or grab them and talk to them and try to get them treatment and get them off the street. brian: loot of people think it's mental illness. >> i had a rule, streets are not for living. somewhere in the dark ages we figured out that toilets should be not on the streets. because it creates disease. look at los angeles. what do you think those people do on that street? ainsley: what did you do with the homeless? >> i had a police officer go up to every homeless person and say you can't sleep here. if you like, we will take to you a shelter tonight. and there will be somebody there who will evaluate you and find out do you need a place to live. very small percentage. are you an alcoholic, much

larger percentage. do you have paranoia schizophrenia or mental illness that's about 40%. what happens to a paranoid schizophrenic on the street they become isolated and removed from reality. if they are not treated they will go crazier. if you are a christian, a jew, a muslim, if you are not even religious but you love people. if you see a person on the street you would say this persocity doesn't have a very good mayor. call it intervention with a family. have a family member who is an alcoholic, you don't give them alcohol. steve: mayor, 200 feet from where we are sitting on 47th street, i saw a homeless person encamped this morning about an hour and a half ago. and i saw two over here. >> i know it's going to get worse and take a while. because de blasio was handed the best run city in america by bloomberg. if you are handed a great business. i don't care how dumb you are, how stupid you are, how lazy you are, it's going to work on its own for a while.

well now the wheels are starting to come off. the way can you see it quality of life. homelessness is a great end occasion you have that. some of the squeegee men have come back. small in number but already come back. these are the things that are a sign of the city moving in the wrong direction. written not by me. everybody thinks bratton and i invented the broken window theory. it was two harvard professors kelly and wilson 1981. basically it says that when you let small things go, they get bigger and bigger. you also create a sense of no rules, no boundaries and kids grow up in that. brian: mr. mayor. >> then they have no respect for the rights you have other people. brian: add something else to that law enforcement unofficially have pulled back from arrests. the prosecutions aren't up. the arrests are down and it sounds like crime is getting better it isn't. these men and women say you don't have my back, you police your own city.

>> why do you think that police officer, which is one of the saddest things that you can see that video that went viral a month or two ago with the water being thrown on the police officers. steve: now they are throwing milk. >> do you know the thing i saw in that i saw the man hunch his shoulders just went like this. ainsley: this one right here watch his shoulders. >> there is the guy who gets it in the head with a bucket. unbelievable. >> it's such a hard job. >> you have to be able to control the natural human response to respond. ainsley: this the latest one. tuesday, in harlem throwing milk. >> this is a police department that's afraid of the mayor. >> not harlem. >> first of all you know the mayor is not going to defend them like i did. always turned out to be right. i remember there was a shooting and they wanted me to police officers get suspended in a shooting by operation of the law.

they wanted me to just fire him and i said no, no, i have been a lawyer and a prosecutor. they are presumed innocent and there are questions about this case. those four police officers were acquitted of course not in a court of the people who create problems but they were not guilty. well, i'm not going to just because popular or suck up to some idiots fire these men. brian: gout that. >> but now we have got a mayor -- they are worried that man probably has a wife and kids and saying to himself if i respond to this idiot who just threw water on me i can lose my job. i can lose my income. they are human beings. steve: mr. mayor, we have a room full of first responders today. what's your message to them. >> my message to them is we owe you so much. you are -- so i get great credit for turning the city around. and i always realize i have a lot of humility about it because i realize that you are the people that did it. you are the people that put your lives on the line. not me. that's why any time any of

you ever got hurt i tried to be the first one there and i tried to be the first one there not because i wanted press. i tried to be the first one there because i knew if the mayor showed up you would get. somehow the best doctor shows up with the mayor shows up. a third the hospitals are city hospitals i ran them. doctors better show up. and i did that for my family. you are part of my family. sometimes 4:00 in the morning, 5:00 in the morning. i never considered anything great i was doing. these rut people that have ton honored all the time. and it's not just for them, it's for the young people. every time there was a great thing you did, saved a baby, took somebody down from a building my administrative assistant met terry hat because he became to city hall so often getting medals they fell in love. terry was in my office three times in the first year i was mayor. once he went down into a hole and took somebody out.

the next time he went up on the top of the building and took someone out and repelled down. and the third time i show up and there is somebody inside trying to pull a firefighter out that was injured. just get the medal. ainsley: get ready. >> get the medal ready for terry. he was -- what i tried to do was and if a police officer delivered a baby, because firefighters and police officers, you know, firefighters have a certain kind of thing you have to deal with firefighters. they are so darn brave and just run in and have you got to try to keep them back. the police officers are constantly having difficult things. when they did something heroic, i tried to make a big deal. police officers deliver babies. police officers help old ladies. police officers run in as. not thinking about oh my gosh, the building is falling down. pull people out. whatever they did that, i made a big deal out of when do you see de blasio do.

brian: not yet. >> maybe somebody will tell him to do it now the last couple of months he has got. brian: as a boston red sox fan as is he is not even pulling for yankees. >> only in the city seven days in august and i thought it was better. [laughter] >> maybe this month two days. ainsley: 7 hours. steve: rudy, we are out of time for today. ladies and gentlemen, rudy giuliani. ainsley: more "fox & friends" straight after this break. ♪ ♪ know you're not alone ♪ going to make this place your home ♪ and last longer with fewer pills. so why am i still thinking about this? i'll take aleve. aleve. proven better on pain.

yesterday. yesterday we talked about the no zero policy. no homework, no problem. there is a school in maryland that says instituting a no zero policy because zeros are bad. even if the student doesn't do any work. steve: the winston churchill high school arguing, quote: when students receive zeros it often results in a negative impact on motivation and engagement. students often view being assessed a zero percent as being punitive in nature. brian: i guess it hurts your self-esteem to not do anything. after growing backlash the school is scrapping the policy. has the damage already been done? ainsley: here to react is fox news contributor and author of the new children's book pa loma wants to be lady freedom. she is holding it up. rachel campos-duffy. >> i have turned into a shameless book -- do parents push back on this policy and it worked. and that's the lesson. a lot of us feel frustrated when we get all these woke progressive administrators

and principals and teachers and superintendents who come up with these really stupid ideas and we feel helpless. the parents pushed back. they changed the policy, which is good. nobody gets points for just breathing. it's really dumb. steve: except under this system when it first came out you could miss every single question if you were middle school and high school student, miss every question and still get a 50%. rachel: it makes no sense at all. it does harm to the kids because it doesn't prepare them for the real world. we live at least for now in an american capitalist system. wwhere hard work, perseverance. these are the things that help you succeed. what they are telling you is that, you know, free, easy, basically is a socialistic message which won't get you ahead or allow to you prosper once you get into the american capitalist system. brian: rachel, you came out with a book to help parents in a way imprinting them, especially immigrant parents on what it means to be an american. rachel: that's right. if you go to the book

scores, the book scores, scholastic they are also very woke and progressive. if you go to those book stores. everything is about diversity, which is fine. that's what makes us different. this book is what unites us as americans. that's why i want to thank you having me on on this day in particular with this audience in particular. with mayor giuliani just before me. because this book is about celebrating america. something we are not doing enough about. and frankly, this is a message we need to get to our kids. everyone is looking to the white house or congress to unite this country. it starts with the white house and at home. ainsley: your daughter went to washington. >> she went to washington and fell in love with lady freedom the statue on top of lady capitol. not many people know about it they will learn about it in this book. the difference between going through the immigration process legally. steve: check out the book paloma want to be lady freedom. also she has a show on fox nation. ainsley: number one

[applause] brian: so 18 years ago, five days from today, their world changed, the country's world changed as the towers were burning in new york. at least a dozen of these men went into these buildings and changed your life forever now. what does it feel like to get that type of respect for what you guys did. recommendation it's very humbling and to know back holding back the line while we went overseas and held

the line in foreign countries. they were back here trying to protect this country it means everything to hear from them and right back at you all for what you have done and continued to do to take care of us on the home front. brian: that's why you joined. >> i watched you on september 11th as a sophomore. i don't have many military in my family, i watched first responders on 9/11 in this great city run into the flames that day to save people that they didn't even know in an act of selflessness that i had never experienced before in my life up to that point. it was because of each and every one of you that that i got in fight and takes the fight to the enemy in afghanistan. thank you for that. [applause] brian: joey, we see your sacrifice. >> i had maybe lawful a dozen experiences that i considered combat shot at or things like that. it was like seeing a child thatline dipped in scolded hot water needed medical attention that stick out to me every day. what people realize is that

our firemen and police see that every day in our country. every single day they see innocent civilians people in peril and they run to it and save them. they may not have the combat experience we have. but they certainly have the experience and trauma. and i know that we probably don't do quite enough to recognize that and make sure living healthy lives especially when they are retiring. for that i am always humbled when i see you all in uniform. brian: you served, in business and going back to serve. >> my biggest thing everybody rersz where they were on september 11th. we just sent our first class of college freshman to college that who may thought have been born september 11th. i was in west point a couple miles up the river and i remember where we were when the towers came down and many of your and your compatriots went up those stowers. our class took the oath or affirmation. know each of you inspired us to do what we need to do abroad to protect this country because you were here protecting our homes and our families here. i just want to say thank

you. brian: and they get that and they thank you back. now, let's talk about what's happening 18 years later. there is -- after nine rounds of talks the taliban and ambassador khalilzad have they say a peace deal. your reaction, jocko? >> it doesn't seem like there is much peace there right now. we just lost another service member. as far as i'm concerned if you lose a service member negotiations have ended. >> how can you negotiate peace when there is no peace? so i feel like one of the biggest red flags of this deal is it does not incorporate the pakistani taliban who just four days ago attack ad major city. four car bombs in cable a u.s. service member today. you cannot negotiate without a comprehensive seas fire first. brian: the president hasn't signed anything yet. i don't think the secretary of state is on board yet. the sitting president of afghanistan has been xed out of this so far. >> that's the biggest concern.

the government in afghanistan has no say in this. what we are looking at here is really negotiating with the taliban no longer harbor who might want to hurt us. has nothing to do with what a taliban may do in afghanistan. the big thing right now, the taliban is negotiating on paper territories that they can continue to control. and then as soon as we are gone. the old adage which is absolutely true, we may have to watch do they have the time. we are not the first country that they waited out. we are not the first ally. brian: word is in between sessions they celebrate another victory that they defeated another super power. we know that's not true. what do you say to that? >> we have to make sure we are doing everything we can to end these never ending wars. talk about nation building. we have aflation to build right back here at home in detroit in baltimore. they are still blowing our brothers and sisters up 18 years later. we have toned these wars but hold them accountable. the president needs to understand and get the briefings what's going on in the ground. the humanitarian crisis going on on the ground our national security can never be divorced from

humanitarian issues. >> tough end political wars. wars that ebb and flow depending who wants to be in power and how they want to get it in this country win an election. tulsi gabbard can do it until the cows come home. what does that mean. strategic war. something to be accomplished. we have lost sight what the mission might be for years during this war. today what is that mission? today that mission is what does it take in that country or out of it to keep our country safe? and that should be the talking point. brian: that's where the attack came from. >> happy to be there if it keeps our country safe. we didn't bring them home from germany or japan right away. look at the longest. brian: look at korea. >> nobody wants out of afghanistan more than i do. or anybody on this couch. >> absolutely. >> it's critically important that we do it the right way. afghanistan is a perfect example of a country where can you do more in that country with less u.s. troops. that requires a shift, immediately from a counter injure genesecounterininsurgenc.

we need to move back to surge strikes. counter terror. high value target. keeping the enemy on toes and allows the afghan government the space and time they need. brian: i want to talk about something else. weigh in. the president is watching right now. what concerns would you have? >> i think you have to look at this from a strategic perspective. like everyone here is saying. and then have you got to make decisions that are going to be hard that are not going to be popular and you have to stick with what you believe is best for the country. that's what you have to do. and it's hard to do. brian: right. lastly, the mls is the latest politically correct organization who decides that the betsy ross flag, our first flag with 13 stars and 13 stripes should be banned from a utah game because they say it has a political you will hints to it. what do you think about the first political flag being politically unacceptable. >> i think it's amazing

where we live in the country is biggest concern beautiful -- and what you have to really be concerned. brian: they were tossed out. >> this is why people in this country need to read and understand and learn history. that flag is the greatest symbol of freedom that the world has ever known. it represents throwing off the chains of oppression. and so, we fought a war to fight against a tyrannical government. and then less than 100 years later, we gave 300,000 lives nut ended slavery in this country in the civil war no. country has done more to fight for the individual as the smallest minority. that flag is representative of that. brian: john, it's used by auto white supremacist group. >> racism is still a problem in this country full stop. you are not going to fight racism by kicking folks out by flying a betsy ross staff. i guarantee you if someone was burning an american flag they would be allowed to statement the first amendment is something that everybody in this room and everybody on this stage are willing to put their lives

on the line to preserve. we need to make sure we are both fighting racism and rights to live our lives as free americans. brian: you were asked when colin kaepernick took a knee to address some football locker room. different issue coming up. different sport same issue. >> the thing about collin is. people forget. this he didn't kneel first he sat. he spoke about our flag representing today the oppression of groups of people. he equated our flag today, the freedoms it stands for to the very worst aspect and the worst darkest corner of our country. i never will buy that listen, when the betsy ross flag was the flag veterans didn't have the v.a. if you lost your legs in war you weren't going to get taken care of. you will go back home and hopefully have family to take care of you. there was no check that the government wrote back to you to take care of you. a lot of things have gotten better in this country because there was a betsy ross flag.

a revolutionary war fought that led to the civil rights amusement that make this country better every day. you want you taupia, live and long and happy life die and go to heaven. brian: made the world a better place because we are great. jocko, sean parnell, john jones, joey jones, john james, thank you so much for coming down. thank you for your service. a round of applause.

because they took away shop classes years ago and in my travels i stop at different factories and i have noticed that they make a great product but they don't tell people about it. to reach out to new york or chicago ad agency. that's a lot of money. and we do it cheap. >> what's your website for folks watching right now. >> american made advertising.com. ainsley: if you are an american made company you can advertise on your website. we will all find out about it and we will buy from these companies, right? >> we will help them tell their story and connect with unique customers with a unique product. ainsley: thanks for doing that. great to see you. >> we have admiral society folks here?

terrifying, steve, brian, ainsley. there is light at the end of the tunnel. we're not out of the woods yet. the wind is blowing very hard here. the rain still coming down. we're checking that a few more hours as dorian makes her way out of here for good. we're still under a curfew. first-responders and emergency crews need the roads to be clear so they can get to whoever is injured. whatever proper is damaged. they need to do the job they need to do without anyone getting in the way and really people are sticking to that. we haven't seen that many people out and about. maybe one or two cars driving by. it has been pretty clear. not a whoa lot of damage where we're standing but we were very, very close to the eye that passed by here an hour 1/2, two hours ago and things got really dicey. we're just north of atlantic

the strongest winds in the core of the hurricane, still cat-1, 90 mile-per-hour sustained winds. not only storm surge of four to seven feet, hurricane-force winds along the coast and heavy rainfall. we had two dozen reports of tornadoes. tornado threat will go throughout the day. we don't have tornado warned storms but flash floods occurring with the heavier rain bands. as we go through time, the hurricane-force winds move offshore. we could see tropical storm force winds alongs the coast of new england and rain as well. we will keep you up to date. i believe the storm is making first landfall on the u.s. mainland on cape hatteras. steve: it is quite the rainmaker. thank you, janice. we have judge jeanine pirro, author of radicals resistance and the plot to remake america, host of judge jeanine.

they want medicare for illegals, they are from a different ilk. it is not as though i have hope that things are going to change pretty soon, i really don't. ainsley: there was a glimmer of hope when whoopi goldberg spoke out against it, and other people did. then when you had san francisco's board of supervisors saying the nra was a terror organization and then, some local newspapers, including "the los angeles times," and then, big newspaper, "washington post" had some headlines against that.

effort. we have first-responders who i know personally, trails gone down there as well, there is sex trafficking down there you see family members on the news. you think that is horrible. but it is not. they're guys posing as a dad with a girl. next month the another guy has the same girl posing as her dad. we see sex trafficking in arizona, going throughout the country. when we look at it that, we are a lot more clearer we have to fund it. steve: one of the great things about you, you're not a political person. you call them as you see them. you live in texas. you know what is going on in washington, president and democrats agree it's a problem they're not getting together to fix it. >> that is the most unfortunate thing. somehow we become you're against a party, for a party, the blanket statement i agree with everything or i don't. i think that is wrong. i feel like you can be a democrat or republican agree with certain issues or not. that is reasonable human being, right? that is somebody looking a little deeper. if you agree with everything

your party is doing you're not looking deep enough. brian: there is some hope. i see joe manchin, democrat and president meeting in the white house coming up with some type of way to stop the mass shootings. we're familiar with you in texas. you have odessa, as well as el paso. do you notice the texture of texas changing after these, very pro-gun state but are people getting a little worried? >> no. the problem is mental health, right? i feel like most of us know, if you're driving a car you have the ability to kill someone. everybody has road rain at some point but you don't take another human life. people feel that is good thing to do, willing to do, stop for a minute. most people are not willing to take human life. brian: think about what happened with you, mentally ill, the family knew he was unsafe, yet he was still unleash on your husband. >> i think, that is part of it, right? he made a choice for evil. he doesn't have a diagnosis of any mental illness, he made a choice of evil. part of that is need for fame.

people feel if they're the shooter they get all the attention. everybody knows the story, what went wrong in their life. i rather we don't talk about their name, don't get any attention after they do something like that. that i feel might cut back a little bit. ainsley: we watched your story unfold. we knew your husband. we watched the movie "american sniper." served four tours in iraq. killed by mentally ill individual that served our country on american soil. you have two kids. they have grown up. we followed their story. now you have written this book. tell us about your book. >> american spirit was me out in the country listening to people talking, thinking that, there is so much good in the world that inspired me, lifted my spirits. i thought, i can't safe these stories just for myself. it made me feel better about my life, the country, the world, the future. i thought i need to share stories, people need to understand there are a lot of good things happening out of limelight. steve: the book is called, "american spirit." pick it up everywhere.

steve: live from new york city. we have all first-responders. bring in blew lives matter new york city founder joe impatrice, former police lieutenant, army lieutenant, eric porcher. [applause] we talked about disrespect officers in new york, so many people were doused and soaked. apparently on tuesday, first-responders went to a fire here in new york city and at one point somebody, outside of the building, threw milk on an officer. watch this. [inaudible]. >> ah.

[bleep] oh, [bleep] they got milked on. steve: apparently threw half a balloon of milk on that particular officer. according to crimestoppers they're looking for that particular man who threw it. wanted for assault. doctor, what is going on? >> we look what happened in the summertime, result of progressive policies from city hall, quote, unquote, mayor de blasio. we had officers water thrown on them. that should be harbinger of. we have officers doused with milk. these people committed these acts we have a term, we perp walk. everyone should see the people are arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law we clearly see that the quantitative statistics for arrests are going down. however, the shootings inordinately going up as a result. ainsley: look at headlines. cow dare you. "new york post" article how these individuals are cowards.

the police benevolent association says they're blaming the city leaders because of the cop-hating environment. they said it has been impossible for officers to do their jobs. >> this is copycat syndrome. saw it about two months ago when all this happened. seen an individual who was getting arrested not too long ago, officers in plain clothes run. he was out very next day. officers feel like some of their higher-ups don't have their back. it is ridiculous. you have politicians like the governor in california foes out there and really upset me, go in front of a podium, they think they can tell officers how to do their job. brian: gavin newsom. >> he can't contain his state. i went couple months back to visit family of ronil singh. brian: home less camp everywhere. >> they want to tell officers how to do our job? brian: gavin newsome. law on the books, 1850s, if

you make a arrest, you're in trouble, citizen is not obligated to help you out. why go out of the way law enforcement you don't matter? >> that is one of three things. he is telling officers second-guess them when they have to use deadly physical force. brian: change the rules. >> he wants officers document every time you take a weapon out. you want to know the real thing? two years from now he wants to say disproportionate amount of individuals were stopped, turning on police saying they were racist. in my opinion you can never shoot or stay one day suited up what officers do. i think he should stand with the officers. steve: speaking of california they arrested somebody who is in this country illegally, shot a sheriff's sergeant in merced county. they have been able to arrest him. he has been in the country illegally. dr. porcher, unfortunately we heard the story way too often. >> this unfortunately is true. this echoes what donald trump,

what president trump said to me we need tighter border security. california has become a sanctuary state. but what happens is, that affects all of us as a whole. we need protections. the social contract affords us protection by government. that is what the president is standing up for. but unfortunately the regressive policies coming out of california are prohibiting such. as a result of it, we have this madman going out and shot officers. brian: how about this, law enforcement against law enforcement. they're telling law enforcement to stop cooperating with i.c.e. illegals should be deported out there, they're saying to police chiefs, don't you cooperate with i.c.e. it is now against the law to follow the law of the land but not of the state. how outrageous is that? >> i think that is truly outrageous. when you look at come part mentallization of law enforcement, state troopers in california, municipalities they reported to the elected officials in that particular state whereas the government, when i say the government, meaning federal government they have a different entity such as i.c.e. so you have two competing

agendas. that is competing problem. brian: never used to be. uniform, uniform, same side. >> i totally agree. ultimately what that is doing, impacting upon us as american citizens we need to get this right. fortunately we have the right person in the white how looking to drive this agenda accordingly. steve: fellows, thanks so much for joining us. always a pleasure. ainsley: 34 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up next, making her debut as fox news contributor, she is part of our family, former white house press secretary sarah sanders.

here were on duty that day. ainsley: and some women. brian: and some women were on duty that day. they have their own reflections. we had rudy giuliani on earlier. we have special announcement. steve: shook hands with as many peep as she could during the timeout. sarah sanders making her debut today, ladies and gentlemen, she is a fox news contributor. ainsley: welcome, sarah. [applause] >> it has been tremendous experience working in the white house, something i will honor and treasure forever but i have three amazing kids, scarlett, who is seven, huck who is five, george who is four. and i'm only one that gets to be mom to them. now i get to do that a little bit more and that has been so fun and so special. i'm so glad to have the chance to be home a little bit more often. brian: this would be front and center on your desk working as press secretary. here is news on the job numbers. a little below expectations.

130,000 jobs this past month. the unemployment rate stays the same. they were expecting about 150,000. what is your reaction to that, sarah? >> look i think at the end of the day there is no question that the president and his administration have turned the country around and put it on the right track. we're in a place where the economy is still strong. it is still the strongest economy in the world. and we are doing better under this president than we have in the previous eight years. he has created over five million new jobs since becoming president. a lot of those are manufacturing jobs. let's not forget, everybody said that it couldn't be done. that manufacturing was dead in this country and it couldn't be revived. steve: you need ad magic wand to do it. >> we need ad magic wand to do it. we found one in president trump. he waved the magic wand. he brought manufacturing back to this country. sew continuing to win over and over again. he is continuing to fight for

american businesses, american companies and the american worker and that is something we haven't seen a long time. brian: he says the battle in china cost him, cost us some jobs but a battle we have to fight. >> absolutely. the president could not be more right on this. we have to make a decision at this point, who do we want to lead the world? do we want it to be the united states or do we want it to be china? under this president i can assure you it will always be the united states of america. that is what it should be. we want to continue to be the global leaders, no matter what that industry is. as we have been over the last several decades. if we don't step up and stop the bad practices that we see happening, with the chinese, unfair trade, under the chinese government then we're going to lose our country and we're going to lose a lot more american jobs and not only from an economic standpoint but a national security standpoint. we have to look at that. i know it is something that the president is watching closely and it is something i think most of america is really glad we

finally have a president that says enough is enough. we'll stand up. we're going to say no to the chinese. we'll make america stronger and better, and put america first. ainsley: some people were watching the 2020 democrats on cnn when they had that seven-hour town hall. some the things these candidates were say something just crazy. no planes, no cars, no burgers, no straws. they want paper straws. some of the policies that they want implemented are just so far to the left, so progressive. bill de blasio is tying to stay in the race. he doesn't have enough support of the he will probably have to drop out. telling people to donate a dollar to the campaign so he has the right amount of support to get into the october debate. he was on with "hannity" a few weeks ago. he was on with tucker last night. this is what he says about saving american jobs and raising your taxes. watch this. >> here's the reality, right now, in fact the federal tax code rewards companies that

invest in the kind of technology that actually sheds jobs, destroys jobs. our tax dollars are helping companies incentivizing companies to get rid of more and more american workers. my plan is simple, end that. we're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars we could use to actually address our bigger issues in this country. brian: we should stop innovation. >> the things that are coming out of democrats mouths these days i can't even process it they're so stupid. they want to take our country back so far. [applause] it is unbelievable to me that they would want to move our country backward, instead of taking us forward. any american that is listening to the things that the democrats are saying, still supports them, you have to ask them why? what do you think is going to be better for you under these people leading our country? i think it can be very scary the path they want to take us down. steve: look at the polls and the number one concern of democrats

in picking a candidate, they have to find somebody to beat donald trump. that is number one thing is getting rid of donald trump the when you were white house press secretary famously, you know, being his spokesperson you were thrown out of that restaurant in lexington, virginia, the red hen. they have kind of, i think that impacted their business for a little while. you're out of the administration now. are you still taking heat when you go out to eat? >> sometimes. you know, usually depends on where i am in the country. steve: where? >> back home in arkansas, things have been so far pretty easy and welcoming. steve: what about new york city? >> it is hit or miss. i have not been asked to leave a restaurant. you have somebody who comes up to say something. steve: like what? >> nasty to you. what i find interesting, 99% of the people come over to say something negative to attack you are women. i find that very startling from a, you know, group of people

that claim to be the champions of women empowerment, i'm only third woman, the first mom to ever be the white house press secretary yet women attack me relentlessly, instead of being proud that we have more women doing those types of jobs. ainsley: ever say that to them. >> sometimes they're looking for reaction. i always find it is best to nod, smile, thank you for your time, walk on. because i don't want to engage in a fight. steve: you're out of the administration. >> i am. they still see me as somebody who is a very pro-trump supporter. i'm not going to change my position. it would be very odd to go from doing what i was doing, all of sudden doing something different. i loved my experience. i loved working for the president. i think he has been able to do some tremendous things for the country. i look forward to watching him do it for six more years. brian: outside perspective i think you went from press secretary to confidante.

longer you were there the more trust he had in you. can you talk about how the position evolved and write about things in the published memoir you have coming out? >> my experience was extremely positive. my book will be positive. it will start coming up with my early life growing in a political family. in the controversial moments like the red hen. i never talked about. the white house correspondents dinner. things in the moment, how i felt, never really spoken about publicly. i will go through some of that. i also had tremendous opportunity to travel to nearly 30 countries with the president. sit down with world leaders. get to be a part of those important discussions. i got to see the front lines, have a front row seat of history. i'm excited to tell my story. >> we could ask you if you're going to run for governor. you're starting a new job. you would say no, you're not. our studio audience would like to ask you some questions.

kasha has a question for her. go ahead. good morning to you. >> how do you deal with the backlash when you go out to eat with your family? also do you shield your kids from things? do they understand the strong position that you had before like the important position that you had, do they understand that? >> my kids are very young. like i said, they're 7, 5 and four. they didn't fully appreciate the role. i think they it is normal for everyone's parents to be on tv. unfortunately they would much rather watch cartoons instead of me on the news which is probably a good thing because sometimes the news can be a little bit tough. i don't try to shield them too much because i want them to understand why it is important to take a position. why it is important to stand by it. and, be willing to do things that are not always easy. so i do want them to understand that, see it. i also want them to know that is not how we treat other peep. whether you disagree with somebody or not, you still treat them with respect.

and i try to make that a moment share that lesson with them. sometimes we do it better than others. but it is, i think important for them to know that. no matter how much you disagree with someone you can still and work in the same place and sit in a restaurant next to each other without having to be angry or mad about it. steve: all right. chris, where are you. you're over on this side as well, right back there in the corner. chris, what's your question for sarah sanders? >> more of a comment than it is a question. i have three daughters and three granddaughters. you are a true inspiration to women, not just in our country but throughout the world. i want to thank you for what you've gone through. to be honest with you, from bottom of my heart i think you would make one heck of a firefighter.

very close to my heart. my grandfather was a firefighter. my daughter is named after him. so thank you for what you guys do. i always say the work we do is easy compared to the people that are first-responders and those in our military that actually put their lives on the line and really take a risk that is far beyond anything, any of us in politics or public service could ever do what you do is really remarkable. so thank you. thank you for your kind words. good luck with all those women in your house. i'm sure you haven't made a decision in a long time.
