3:02 am
start-off picture for this tuesday, august 23rd, 2022, because katie pavlich is in the thousand. she is on the couch today. >> katie: i'm here. >> steve: that's where you live down in that neck of the woods. >> katie: that is true peter doocy as well. >> brian: you want to dance with somebody. >> katie: dancing this morning. very excited a huge show today for you. looking forward to the next three hours and the rest of the week. thanks for having me. >> steve: let's start the cha-cha that right now. all right, i'm sure you probably heard this former president trump taking his case against the it many court. they filed a motion late yesterday. >> brian: trump is calling for a special master of materials to conduct an independent review of documents seized from his mar-a-lago estate. >> katie: kevin corke is live in washington with the latest. kevin, good morning. >> good morning, guys. former president trump filing a motion seeking as you pointed out an independent review by special master. materials of that what were actually seized by that fbi raid on mar-a-lago which reportedly
3:03 am
totaled more than 300 classified departments to. here to is what the trump camp is saying, quote: we are demanding the appointment of a special master to oversee the handling of the materials taken in the raid. we are further demanding that the doj be forced to turn over a real inventory of my property. we demand all items wrongfully taken from my home be immediately returned. as you can well imagine, there is a lot of back and forth. people incredibly upset in fact outraged in many quarters about what happened, this raid at the home before a former president of the united states. the august 8th search warrant at mar-a-lago was authorized by a federal court upon the required finding of probable cause tocious for the former president the fbi word frankly given the recent history frankly isn't enough. >> we need impartial, that means
3:04 am
not republican, not democrat, impartial special master. take a look a what they seized give back to the former president what is rightfully his. things that are clearly declassified. >> legal scholars are also questioning the role of the biden white house in the raid and in the collection of materials that the former president, frankly, they argue should have been able to claim executive privilege over. >> one thing that clearly is wrong is the biden white house should not be able to waive the executive privilege of president trump that would make the executive privilege a insulty. it would mean that no president could ever speak to anybody in confidence without knowing that two years from now or three years from now, all of it will be revealed by the current president. >> boy, what a disaster this could be special, again, washington is a town as you know
3:05 am
has long knives and memories and by the way as for the former president this about a possible run in 2024. i think you might appreciate it. it says president donald j. trump is the clear frontrunner in the 2024 presidential primary and in the 2024 general election should he decide to run. there are a lot of people who certainly believe that now, critics argue that is really what is behind the continued attacks on the former president. it's all meant, they argue, to keep him from arguing again in 2024, despite his popularity with 10s of millions of americans. more time more legal drama, more billable hours to come. a reminder, jared kushner joins us live in the 8:00 hour this morning to see what he has to say. you central to stick around for that and we are looking forward to it, guys. >> steve: look at you, you not only did the news you did our promo too. thank you very much. >> i aim to please. >> brian: all right. kevin, a little bit later you can weave in governor desantis
3:06 am
speaking of 2024 who will also be on the show. >> katie: jonathan turley as well. >> brian: jonathan, would you like to declare your candidacy? >> i will hold off a little more to keep that buzz going. >> brian: thank you. anything surprising for you yesterday? we knew the trump team was going to make an announcement. he has asked for a special master some say too late. what do you think? >> i think it is too late. i think they have been going through this. it's hard to make this catwalk backwards. they have been going through all these boxes. i'm not sure why this wasn't filed the very next day. i think, how much, that the basis for the motion is very, very strong. i wrote a piece in the hill that said that merrick garland had had four opportunities to take modest steps to assure the public that this wasn't a dishonesty pre-textual raid, that this wasn't a politically
3:07 am
motivated investigation. and on each occasion, he refused to take those steps. this was one of them. i don't understand why the justice department itself didn't ask for a special master. it doesn't have to. they have their teams, they have ways to deal with this. you would think that merrick garland would say you know what? there is a lot of hurt coming down this mountain politically for the country. i think we should take this extra step. he decided not. to say i think that going in front of the american people and saying how dare you not trust the fbi, really mismisses the point. you can't demand trust. you have to earn it. and the record of the fbi in misleading courts and past trump investigation is very much on the mind of many americans. >> katie: jonathan, i think -- the issue here is the goal of trying to divorce politics from the situation, which is why the trump attorneys are asking for a special master as the attorney said not republican or democrat but someone who can come in and
3:08 am
handle this information in a way that people would not sees a biased given what you just laid out with the attorney general and steps as you said is it possible to take politics out of it to regain that trust throughout this process. >> that's a great request question. he has a fifth opportunity on thursday. is he reverse course. can he go to the department of justice and say, look, you know what? this is outside our comfort zone we don't usually do this but this is not your usual case. let's make some serious redactions. there is lookout of targets of a common affidavit that can be disclosed not just the legal mumbo jumbo. for example, we are very interested in how the course of communications was described to the court. was it done faithfully. quite frankly somebody is lying. the trump people are saying we cooperated. we didn't hear back from them. we would have given them access. we would have given them
3:09 am
documents government clearly told the court time is of the essence and we need to conduct an historic raid upon mar-a-lago, somebody is lying those polarizations should be able to be released because the target knows them. the target already know what is was said. what we want to know is what happened and what was presented to the court. >> steve: sure. kevin also touched on the "new york times" maggie hageman story this morning that apparently there were 300 classified documents at mar-a-lago. they got about half of them in january and then they got some more in jiewfned went in mort rest and told by people inside the trump inner circle there is more stuff from: the former president's allies authority to declassifying articles that will left the white house to the
3:10 am
residence. if there was an order to declassify this stuff, jonathan, wouldn't the agencies that were involved by the way that's declassified now? because they apparently say we never heard about that. >> presumably they would have mentioned that declassification order in january and june in these communications. i would like to see that standing order. but presidents do have the ultimate declassification authority when these boxes were removed, he was still president. i would like to see that standing order. the problem i have with a lot of this. in order to get to a prosecution, you will have to create some new constitutional law or at least better defined constitutional law. the president's inherent declassification authority has never really been litigated. it's surprising to me that you would want a criminal case that would need to carry that much water up that hill. but we still don't even know what type of criminal caves they said they were making. we know these three statutes but we don't even know what claims
3:11 am
were made in the affidavit or how this was framed. now, we're probably not going to get that but we could get a lot more than we have now. >> brian: real quick, jonathan on the timing, special master, when do we find out what the court says about that request? number two, when do we get redacted documents back or when are the redacted documents due back to the judge? >> well, on the special master, they should be able to handle that relatively quickly. as to these documents, now, thursday, we are most likely, if the department of justice follows its past practices, to get a heavily redacted affidavit with very little substance. the judge can then push back on that. i'm not too sure if he is willing to go toe to toe with the justice department. but that can take a while. and if there is an appeal from the department of justice, it can be even more. so. >> katie: as they keep the affidavit under redaction they can also leak information that is convenient to their own narrative and framing of the story.
3:12 am
>> brian: like we got yesterday. >> including this morning. >> steve: jonathan turley, lots of legal stuff. that's why you are retainer and you got up at 6:00 on a tuesday morning. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> steve: coming up on this tuesday, as joe biden's border crisis hits home in washington, d.c., democrats are finally admitting hey, you know what? there is a problem down there. >> dealing with a politically motivated policy emergency. about. >> steve: it is an emergency. we have been saying that for years. the growing tensions as d.c.'s mayor is denied federal help for a second time. >> brian: plus, i can now exhale. 71-year-old tom brady is back. the goat returns to the buccaneers after nearly two weeks off. remember, he could have had it time off but he chose to come back and unretire so he is back and looking for an eighth super bowl ring. he cannot find the ball there.

3:21 am
for the second time she has been rejected. the department of defense, the mayor of d.c. a letter saying the national guard is not trained to assist with migrants. lead to diminished readiness for the troops. nonetheless, she see what is is going on our southern border as politically motivated, an emergency, which of course, it is. >> right now we are dealing with a politically motivated policy emergency and we think it can be a crisis in our city. that's why we have asked for federal support and we will continue to do that. we think that cities alone can't solve a broken immigration system. but, having said that we are going to do everything that we can to have a humane setting for people who are coming through our city to their final destinations and we are going to work hard to do that. >> brian: on top of that, get ready for school.
3:22 am
a thousand migrant children for the upcoming school year will be in the already burdened washington, d.c. school system. even though the president is rarely in washington these days, will he get the message that illegal immigration is a 50-state problem? and could he possibly address mayor bowser and not address governor abbott? and governor ducey in arizona specifically. as well as in mexico and california. they don't seem to be making much noise. 6,000 -- that's the number right now is estimated 6,000 illegals have coming to new york city. gotten on buses that number is only going to grow. why would it grow? because the migrant also get the message i get a free trip to new york? it. >> katie: free hotel. >> brian: are so if the plane is a little late, can i hop on a bus and go 45 hours and end up in new york city where they have an infrastructure that's built as a sanctuary, we will not kick you out. we will send you to school. we are going to give you a phone. we are going to give you healthcare. so guess who else is watching this? honduras, guatemala, el

3:25 am
plans to get off somewhere between texas and new york. fringes, there was a story of when they were traveling through tennessee and this is in the post this morning. apparently one of the migrants picked up the phone, his cell phone, his smart phone, called 911, they got a translator on and said hey, i'm being held against my will. they say we can't get off the bus. i want to get off so i can go to chattanooga and then i'm going to fly with other people that i'm with and we are going to go join people we already know here in the united states. the bus driver would not let them off, and then the bus driver realizes, wait, is he talking to the police, stopped the bus, they all got off, except for five people. five people left on the bus when it arrived here in new york city, even though they knew going, in okay, next stop, new york. nope, they wanted to go tennessee and they did. >> katie: who is paying for all of it, right? you are. the american taxpayers paying for the gas, the buses, the

3:33 am
highly regarded in the medical community. he did a lot of great work with hiv and edited the main chapter in our textbooks. when he starts saying i represent science, that's a big problem, because the biggest lesson from this pandemic is to be hum being in the face of an evolving virus. that defied expectations. remember, dr. fauci said at the beginning, two weeks to bended curve. two weeks ended up being two years. and he didn't really ever acknowledge that. when he went outside of his lane, which is really vaccines and immunology and, again, he was very excited about the mrna vaccines and talked to me about it but, when he went outside his lane he is talking lockdowns, shut downs, closures, all of which had way more damage than benefit and actually did not decrease the spread of the virus and spread a lot of socialization problems, mental health problems, huge economic disasters and his imprint is on. that was and finally, the most, maybe the most important thing, he never focused enough on where this virus comes from.
3:34 am
you know, dr. senator rand paul was all over this. really, he never really addressed that question. we still don't know if it came from a lab in lujan. he still backs an international consortium of scientists who test virus potentials. if it didn't cause this pandemic it might have it could cause the next one. there hasn't been enough attention on that yet. >> brian: the fact that he does not care where this came from. almost as if it's unnecessary ridiculous question i think says a lot. the other thing to keep in mind that you did not bring up. even though everything else you said is correct. this guy is a democrat. the first show he did is rachel maddow. the first show he did after retiring was rachel maddow. he said i wanted to do your show. you are my favorite show. unless you are a democrat. rachel maddow is not your favorite show. i imagine if donald trump was going to do a farewell interview he would choose sean hannity. why? sean is a conservative, so is the president. dr. fauci should not be our democrat who brings up
3:35 am
january 6th when people look at his credentials and see how many times he has been wrong and wants to know why. >> you know, brian, i wasn't expecting you to bring it up. it's actually a really great point. he started the pandemic on sean hannity's show by the way. and then he veered more and more off to the other shows. but you know what? i never liked that he dissed the president of the united states in public. i mean, if he had issues with his boss, he could bring that up behind closed doors. president trump was very allowing of different points of view, including dr. fauci's. dr. fauci should not have contradicted him in public. that is not the way you handle your boss. obviously or you don't stay in that position. again, he wasn't fired. >> brian: dr. siegel, we have got keep fourth graders away from each other. if black lives matter can protest and tear down a city because they are outdoors with masks on. really? no one buys what he was selling and the thing is with him, when he was challenged, he was so
3:36 am
defensive he knows he is getting out right before the republicans likely will get the house. the question is will he show up when summoned to justify a lot of his actions which hurt so many people of all shapes and sizes? masks one day, masks of good one day, they are bad the first day. of course the pandemic, if you get vaccinated, you have no fear of getting it now we know it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated. we know all of that is not true. we know 6 feet was taken from 1918. this guy was supposed to lead us and instead he led us down the wrong path consistently. >> you know, the 6 feet from 1918 is exactly right. you can use the distancing to stop the flu but not this contagious of virus. masking, there was a lot of the up consistency to that mask message. you can't get people to follow you if you change one day to the next or if you don't wear a mask yourself or if your leader doesn't wear a mask and you tell everybody else to, you are mandating 4-year-olds but public leaders are not wearing them in
3:37 am
public. and on the vaccines, i think these vaccines decrease severity. all the mandating claiming they decrease spread did a lot of damage to public confidence and compliance. huge problem and lack of consistency and lack of humility. >> brian: we are up to four shots and he got the covid virus. if he didn't get it we would be up to five or six. unbelievable what's been going on over the last few years. dr. siegel, thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: all right. coming up. sunshine state shut down at the top of the hour, the polls open in florida where several high interest races are taking place. congressman byron donalds is hoping to fend off a challenger for his seat. he's next. ♪ if your moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks...

3:44 am
prediction from last year 25 to 30 seats. we have always had a strong look at what the midterm elections were going to be like for republicans. let's be very clear, the biden agenda has been a failure for the country. and congressional democrats have done nothing to actually address the needs and the issues that are facing americans. so, even though these numbers might shift, depending on what you are thinking about with respect to gas prices or even maybe the democrat base might be a little bit more enthused. at the end of the day, when voters go to the polls, they are going to ask themselves a simple question, am i better off now than i was before the pandemic, the answer is no, and as and hasanything the democrats he made my life better and that answer is also no. >> congressman, here on the show, we talk because it's national news. we talk about covid. we talk about the economy we talk about the border. we talk about crime. you say the number one issue of interest to the voters in the 19th congressional district in florida is water. explain that. >> well, listen, we sit right
3:45 am
off the edge of the everglades. we get water dislarges from lake okeechobeey. this is one of the most massive infrastructure projects in the country. for my water, having clean water and environment matters so much for quality of life and for our economy. but, after that issue, it's about following the constitution and frankly, my is about being left alone from the federal government. that's what matters down here in southwest florida. to be more specific, it's really about quality of life, which is something that republicans have always stood for, environmental controls, something we have always stood for. clean environments are necessary. but you have to do it in balance. you can't do it with lock step down from washington approaches which are heavy handed that do not work for the the specific needs of all communities. that's what matters here in southwest florida. >> steve: meanwhile, i'm sitting in new york city, the big newspaper here the "new york times," got a headline from the op-ed page, how a storied phrase
3:46 am
became a partisan battleground. we are talking about referring to the american dream. a touch stone of political and social discourse the nearly 100-year-old phrase the american dream is being re-purposed, critics say, supreme courted, particularly by republicans of color. they say that the though particular piece, congressman, says that the american dream is dying ever or in danger. this is so typically of the "new york times." they don't take a chance to look at their own agenda something they have supported for years and realize it is failing you the american people let alone people who are black or latino in the united states they don't want to talk about fentanyl killing kids in every city of america. they don't want to talk about a weak border policy. they don't want to talk about inflation that is really tearing apart budgets for every family, whether you are white, black, or latino in the united states. and all the other issues brought by the democrat party. instead of doing that they. to do what the "new york times"
3:47 am
always does and what democrats always do which is dog whistle. they throw out dog whistle phrases, try to scare voters into thinking that republicans are part of some nefarious plot. the truth is the "new york times" is nothing more than the political arm of the democrat party i'm sick of it. voters are sick of it. see right through this. foolishness, the american dream is alive and well if you have the right public policies to support it. this is where low tactions, a low regulatory environment. actually securing the border and having sound money matter that is what republicans stand for. the "new york times" doesn't care about that. so they come out owith foolish articles like this which everybody sees is nothing more than pure democratic dog whistle politics. >> steve: i'm guessing you are not a subscriber, just saying. >> not really, no. >> steve: i didn't think so. congressman, thank you very much. have a good day. good luck to you. >> any time, thank you.

3:53 am
moving toward electric vehicles. here with me to discuss what this green agenda means for you is the host of varney and co. slashing thousands of jobs getting ready for new electric revolution going from white collar jobs to more software jobs; is that correct? >> that is correct, yes. they are all chasing tesla. tesla sodom united states the electric vehicle market; for example, 7 out of 10 electric vehicles sold today are teslas. that is what ford is chasing. 3,000 job cuts around the world. 2,000 in dearborn by the way. that's designed to make more profit and that extra profit will be pumped into their electric vehicle operation. they are putting 50 billion into electric vehicles by 2026. that's a great deal of money. the company is in transition. they are going from combustion engines into electric vehicles. everybody is doing it so you are going to see the same kind of
3:54 am
transition all through the entire auto industry. enormous shakeup. look, modern electric vehicle is a computer on wheels. so you need a different kind of worker and a different structured company to produce that computer on wheels. and that's what ford is doing. >> katie: you bring up that word transition. that's a word we have heard from the biden administration that comes from them trying to force the private sector on to their green energy agenda. how familiar of this is healthy competition in the free marketplace between car companies trying to compete after tesla and to reach their market share and how much is it kind of like forced of compliance by the federal government under these new policies coming. >> you are right. it's a mixture of both. really good private industry competition to get this new product going. but they are being forced into it by government mandates. that's a different kettle of fish entirely. they are trying to push us all toward electric vehicles and insisting we go there and they
3:55 am
are winning. >> katie: as far as the transition these companies as you said need new workers. need new infrastructure. how much that going to be subsidized by the taxpayer given the enormous nature of having charging stations all over the country when you are driving combustion engine from new york to l.a., you can drive from hundreds of miles without having to stop when you stop to fill up it takes 5 minutes rather than half an hour or an hour to continue going. >> that's right. federal government, the taxpayer, is funding this transition. tens of billions, i would say hundreds of billions are actually going to be burned into the electric vehicle market in terms of infrastructure. the charging stations you are talking about. this is because it is policy. america's policy is get rid of combustion engines, we are going full throttle with electric vehicles. that's the public policy. taxpayer money being used towards that end. whether you approve of that or not, it's happening. >> katie: so do you see the job cuts as a loss or replacement

4:04 am
>> brian: governor, rumor confident this time around than last time around when you were vying for the nomination had to come from behind to do it and then eventually would win the governorship? can you describe your mindset today as opposed to four years ago? >> today is great because i'm unopposed i don't have a primary. obviously did i have one four years ago. we knew we were in very good shape four years ago. i remember fox did a debate so we had worked very hard. the general election four years ago was a blue wave year. i was an unknown candidate and it was a tough race. i think this time i think we have the wind at our back, and i have -- i'm running on a record of accomplishment. i mean, if you think about what we have been able to do over the last four years in the state of florida, we have been the focal point of freedom in this country. we have people who want to visit here. people who have moved here. we have a lower unemployment rate now than we did prior to covid, which no one thought would have been possible.
4:05 am
you continue to see us adding jobs in spite of all the headwinds from the biden economy we ended with $22 billion surplus by far a record. none of that would have happened if i had done what the people on the democrat side wanted to do. they attacked me for every decision i made keeping the state open, keeping businesses afloat. protecting people's rights. making sure kids could be in school in person. making sure people didn't lose their jobs based on a shot mandate. so, had they had their way, florida would not be flying high. florida would be in the doldrums. so these are important races. important elections. and we're going to really really work hard over the next 80 days. >> steve: you are running unopposed on the democrat side four con tenders, charlie crist, something in common with, you are a republican governor. he was a republican governor once upon a time in florida. you have candice daniel.
4:06 am
you have robert willis and you have nikki freed who, listen to this, governor, in this soundbite, i don't think she likes you. >> talk about democracy and freedom because as our governor continues to talk about freedom he is taking away a woman's right to choose. taking away freedom of speech. taking away our opportunities to teach in our classrooms. that is not freedom. that's oppression. and i know that we are going to see a november -- we are going to see the tyranny and the tyrant of ron desantis. >> steve: you say freedom she says oppression. >> people that have come over the last few years. the reason why they are doing that the reason why they are happy with florida is because we protected their freedoms. we stood in the way of lockdowners like nikki fried who opposed every decision i made to protect people's rights. and when she says you don't have freedom of speech in the
4:07 am
classroom, understand what she means. she wants to use our schools to indoctrinate students into her ideology. and our position on schools is that the purpose of a school system to educate kids not to indoctrine nate kids. so, yes, we oppose things like critical race theory in our k through 12 schools. want to teach american history and american certificates. and make sure that parents have confidence sending their kids to school. the schools are going to be focused on the core academic subject and not try to inject left wing ideology into the curriculum. >> brian: have a teacher shortage talk about using veterans to do it. one of the big things in florida the pay is so low. what are you doing about the pay? >> brian, since i have been governor we just did the largest pay increase for teachers that we have ever had in florida. when i became governor the average salary was over 40,000. the with the budget we just signed now over 48,000. we are in the top 10 for average
4:08 am
minimum salary. if you talk about recruiting teachers that's what you would want to do. i would also point out that florida per capita teacher vacancies are less than the national average and much less than states like california. you wouldn't necessarily know that from the media because they tend to only focus on florida with things. i wonder why that is. i think we have been very smart to have gone after the average minimum salary, to raise that over the last couple of years. i do think it's paid dividends. i think you will continue to see it pay dividends. we are very proud we put that effort into teacher compensation. >> katie: now florida have a lot more students that have emptied out from new york and new jersey down into florida as well. you are not only taking on democrats. you are also taking on the media. now you have new ad based on the very popular movie top gun channeling your inner maverick. let's take a look and get your response. >> don't fire unless fired upon. but, when they fire, you fire back with overwhelming force. does that t. say that in the
4:09 am
bill? i'm asking you to tell me what's in the bill. >> katie: how did you come up with that idea for that ad? >> well, i think it was something that my wife initially thought about because you talk about the dogfighting and it's about okay, what is our dogfighting? it's doing with corporate brass and always making sure that we stand our ground. so we came up with the top gun, when the movie came out; the merchandise did really well. now because it's coming out on streaming today, we figured there would be more interest in it. how could we do it? just for the record i want to make sure my 4-year-old son is an aficionado already about fighter jets and naval aviation. >> steve: of course. >> he is maverick. not me. is he maverick. he makes that very clear whenever we talk about it. >> katie: made an appearance in the ad as well. >> steve: you are top gov. he can be maverick but you are top gov. you also have the jumpsuit.
4:10 am
i wanted to ask you, governor, for a moment. your reaction to the earthquake news from yesterday that anthony fauci is going to finally step down to pursue the next chapter in his life. he has been on tv nonstop for the last two and a half years. here is a little montage are to summarize some of the things we have heard from the top doc. watch. >> so, it's easy to criticize but they are really criticizing science. because i represent science. you are really attacking not only dr. anthony fauci, you are attacking science. >> i'm the bad guy to an entire subset of people because i represent something that is uncomfortable for them. it's called the truth. >> steve: okay. you going to miss him? >> well, i think he has done a lot of damage. i think he should have been gone long ago. if you think about what he has done with his arrogance, that's party of the reason why he has advocated policies that have
4:11 am
been so destructive. he thinks people that disagree with him are beneath him. his policies were the driving force behind locking kids out of school and parts of this country for over a year. forcing them to wear masks for 8 hours a day for two years. he cost people jobs. he destroyed people's businesses with his policies. and he was never willing to admit he was wrong, when it was clear that those policies don't work. you know, it's one thing when you are in just came out it was a novel thing. there was a lot of information people needed. so just admit that some of the things you said were wrong. and he will not do that. he has not been honest about what he did in wuhan with funding the gain of function research. i hope if republicans take control that they will get to the bottom of everything from the origins of covid to all the manifest failures of the public health establishment particularly dr. anthony fauci. >> brian: right. i think he has done more damage to more people and more ages than anyone else in this country.
4:12 am
hopefully we will get to the bottom of it soon. real quick, two weeks ago in your state, the fbi raided mar-a-lago. they pulled out boxes upon boxes of after a nine hour raid, including going to melania's closet. the president has filed for a special master to review exactly what they took. your thoughts on the raid, your thoughts on his motion. >> the fbi has a history now of weaponizing its power to go after people that it doesn't like. and not only have they done that in a variety of context. they went after donald trump as a candidate specifically with russia collusion. even when he became president, and they were basically trying to drive him out of office based on a conspiracy theory. you have seen fbi agents falsify fisa applications to get surveillance on innocent americans. we are seeing what is happening with this michigan kidnapping hoax, which is a total disaster for the bureau. you look at what has happens with it fbi agents surveilled
4:13 am
parents going to school board meetings. who would have ever thought that. i think when republicans look at that and they are yub set about it, it's against the back drop of all that conduct where basically these agencies have become the enforcement arm of one particular faction of our country against everybody else. and so that's why i think people are concerned about it. i haven't read the motion in terms of what was going on. but clearly, federal agencies in the past 5, 10 years have been weaponized against people the government doesn't like. that's just a fact. >> brian: governor, have you spoken to the former president about it or about anything lately? >> well, brian, to the extent i do have conversations with him. i'm sure doj and fbi would leak that to the "new york times." so, stay tuned on. that was. >> steve: all right. governor, thank you very much for joining us on primary day today in florida. >> thank you. >> steve: you bet. >> brian: is he projected a winner. >> steve: he is top gov. come on, he has a logo and

how the heck does that work? >> steve: did that because they don't have plastic straws? >> i don't know whether he is using it as a dog or dunking it in the beer. >> plastic view make a straw out of the hot dog and use the hot dog. >> steve: people love beer, they love hot dogs so it's a hot dog beer keg. >> carley: i love him. >> can't drink beer through a straw, it's too pubbably. >> when you are on your own in the woods you have to make this adjustment when just a beer and hot dogs. >> katie: he is not in the woods he is in a baseball game. >> steve: when you are in the woods, are you looking for a straw? >> brian: use a hot dog. >> katie: what? >> brian: resourcefulness most fans don't have unless they have a camping background. >> katie: your response is funny. >> carley: practically bear grill. >> steve: maybe he has had several beers and eating a hot dog as a straw.

4:23 am
about joe biden coming and showing up in their district or their state. >> yeah. i think he is about as popular as sticking a hot dog in a beer. good morning this is one of those situations where you want to have joe biden around in your state because we all know that even if he is less unpopular than he used to be, which is basically, you know, the thing that the media is spinning in his favor over the past couple of weeks. he is still is going to be a drag for a lot of these candidates. is he going to be someone who is played up by the republicans in a lot of these districts and states. and people are going to, you know all the different things happening in america that they view as being negative on the candidates here in ways that they won't be able to escape as much. we all have those relatives that we might prefer to not have to invite to a party. not to have to invite to our table around the holidays and joe biden definitely is that uncle joe that you don't want at the table. is he going to distract from everything else you are trying
4:24 am
to achieve. and i think that that's something that he is going to be consistent all the way to november. >> katie: what do you think it says about the fact that candidates from the far left like aoc to more moderate candidates or people up for re-election like senator joe manchin all rejecting biden on the campaign trail and that his only option really this week is to go to the dnc to raise money and not be out with the people who vote for democrats to be in office? >> i think it says that failure isn't ideological. it's an approach that he has used from the beginning in terms of his administration. you know, we learned very early on this whole spin about a return to normalcy civility and the like that the media hoisted upon the 2020 stakes was a lie very clear early on. the fact that it's such a broad swath of the democratic party that is rejecting him tells us that they don't view him, you know, not just as someone who can be an ally in certain respects but as someone who really represents a party they
4:25 am
would rather go away as quickly as possible. the party is moving on from joe biden. they would like to do so, perhaps, sooner rather than later. and i don't think that they want him to be tied to them on the campaign trail for that reason. >> katie: also made a really good point on twitter by saying not just joe biden who has been a poor messenger of his agenda and what the goals are for the democratic party. it's also members of his cabinet all the way down the list. take a listen to what energy secretary jennifer granholm had to say about solar panels this week. >> if you are low income you can get your home entirely weather rised through the expansion from the bipartisan infrastructure law, significant expansion. you don't have to pay for anything. if you want heat pumps, insulation, new windows, that is covered. if you are moderate income, today, you can get 30% off the price of solar panels. it's a significant incentive. >> katie: ben, also what she said people can finance these solar panels.
4:26 am
encouraging people to go into personal debt to fulfill the green dream of the biden administration. the time when people can't afford to go to the grocery store. >> you know, we have not exactly had any kind of best and brightest from this cabinet. you know, up and down the line, whether it's secretary mayorkas, whether it's the attorney general merrick garland, whether it's xavier becerra at hhs or whether it's jennifer granholm, they have been embarrassments when it comes to advocating for this agenda even if it's such a terrible agenda. the lines from jennifer granholm here they feel like something out of veep. people are struggling to pay their energy bills because of our ridiculous policies but do they know about the coupon they can use to slap some chinese made piece of hardware on top of their roofs and maybe save a few cents when they are trying to charge their phone with a power of the sun? i mean, that's just ridiculous. it's so out of touch. it's absurd. people complaining about not being able to do they know about
4:27 am

4:34 am
it a bad year. fox weather.com for all of your latest details. brian over to you. >> brian: this week marking one year since 13 service members were killed in kabul during the biden administration's batched withdrawal from afghanistan. here to reflect on those heroes and the fallout, fox news contributor, former secretary of state mike pompeo. mr. secretary, you guys were on track to leave afghanistan. were you on track to leave this way? >> brian, no chance and good morning to you. let me start by you said reflect on the heroes. these were 13 americans that didn't have to happen this way. they didn't have to die this was a direct result of the decision president biden made. a political decision to set a date certain. your point is well-taken. we were on a path to draw down. we drew down by over 85%. down to just about 2500 americans. brian, we had a set of conditions tied to that. president biden came in and ripped up that plan. and when the taliban began to move against the forces there, during the biden administration, he let them roll over us.
4:35 am
when they did it to us. we dropped bombs on their head. we still had deterrence on january 20th of 2021. this would not have happened this way if i were still there. if president trump were still there. president biden did this against all the wishes of his military, of his civilian leadership. it was a singular decision. the buck stops with him loss of those 13 lives and all of the americans left behind. >> brian: evidently called and said the whole afghan army is falling apart. kabul is without any control at all. do you want me to take the city to mackenzie, to general mckenzie or do you want to take it mackenzie said all we want is the airport. what would mike pompeo have said? >> i would say exactly what we did. when general mckenzie was there on my watch i said we are going to hold this airport. we are going to take care of our people. as we draw down we will continue to keep the deterrence that we need. it's a debacle that was a result of a political decision that joe biden made. and the tragedy is that we lost 13 american lives and brian, you
4:36 am
for this. we still have folks who can't get out of that country who deserve to get out of that horrible place. >> brian: did khalilzad cut a bad deal? >> the deal that was struck with the of a of afghan government and taliban laid down a set of conditions. the taliban never complied, brian, during our entire time we were under no allusion that the taliban were in compliance. we laid down a set of commitments to begin a reconciliation process there we didn't get done. we were a long ways. we didn't pull the last 2500 soldiers out. we were working our way to make sure that we preserved security that had come 20 years of amazing work of our men and women sand saved countless american lives as a result of what those heroes did in afghanistan for two decades fighting against al-qaeda and fighting against the terrorists. >> brian: if president biden didn't embarrass our country and military by pulling out the way he did. many people think there would never be a rush to ukraine. it's been a six month brutal battle.
4:37 am
they are descroilgs what they can of the country. the ukrainians are fighting hard. over the weekend dare i can't was blown up in a car bomb. 29-year-old big supporter of putin, critic of ukraine. but her dad is considered putin's brain russians believe this go right back to ukraine. >> if russians have proof of that, they should disclose it the fact that someone who was an innocent, a family member was killed, that seems to me to be a bridge too far. but, make no mistake about it pl be inflicted on president putin's team and those around him as a direct result of what has happened. inflicted not only the ukrainians and the costs they will impose on the senior leadership. we see how many generals have been killed in ukraine, russian generals killed in ukraine. it will also be inflicted by his own people who will come to see this isn't a war that should have been fought and these atrocities taking place inside
4:38 am
of ukraine are a direct result of president putin made the choice to do. aggressive war against the innocent people of ukraine and ukrainians are fighting with great nocket. >> brian: russians have not made any progress by the way over the two and a half. >> none. >> brian: mr. secretary before you did, this you were cia director. along the way, every day you were in office. this russia investigation, which was rooted in nothing factual, hung over your administration. many people say this germinated from the fbi. look at mccabe, strzok, look at clinesmith. you look at everybody around there. they went after this investigation do you believe after the raid two weeks ago. the fbi is targeting the former president and the people around him? >> i think it's unmistakable that this law enforcement agency, great young people keeping drugs off our streets, doing all the great work the fbi does has been politicized at not just the most senior levels but
4:39 am
deeper inside the leadership as well. absolutely unmistakable. chasing down parents at school board meetings or what happened in mar-a-lago, the leadership of the fbi has acted in ways that are deeply inconsistent with the traditions of that great organization and the american people deserve to -- an fbi that does its job, its mission and doesn't behave politically. >> brian: you have something common with christopher wray. both appointed by president trump. does christopher wray personally dislike the former president? >> >> i don't know. christopher wray and i actually did great work together on counter china operations i was proud of the work we did with fbi officers in houston, texas when we shut down the chinese consulate. i hope that christopher wray will get that organization into place so it just simply does its job. >> brian: how much more time are we going to give them? mike pompeo always great to see you. thank you so much. >> thank you, brian have. great moment. >> brian: hollywood's hypocrisy joe rogan calling out celebrity

4:45 am
it comes to the strong push for gun control. fox news contributor joe concha is here to react. we just heard him talk about how in the movies, you know, guns kill the bad guys. guns kill the wear wolves, but they are hypocrites at their core, he says. this feud between baldwin and rogan goes back to february. baldwin had a problem with rogan's podcast. he are pulled his music off the spotify. i don't know that alec baldwin had music on spotify. >> steve: he does? >> apparently so. he said i'm pulling my music. wait, you are the paul mccartney of spotify? who knew, right? go figure. look, rogan, again, is living in logic. federal investigation to the rush shooting said there was no way that that gun could have gone off unless somebody pulled the trigger somebody being alec baldwin and obviously a female
4:46 am
producer named alina hutchins. alec hypocritical. climate change and emissions the second. the glofings of smoking eliminated from movies but we haven't seen that with guns. why is that? too much a part of the story line, steve. when push comes to should've, always follow the money. if you start taking guns out of movies, then that eliminates probably 60%, 70% of movies out there. >> steve: because, after this horrible killing on the set of the movie set rust, we heard people in hollywood saying that's the end of guns. we can use computer generated guns and stuff like that. nobody ever has to have a gun on a set again. a real gun. and, yet, here we are months later probably still guns on set. >> it appears so, right? we saw this in 1993, by the way the movie the crow. would have been probably a great actor in brandon lee, was also killed in this same exact way.
4:47 am
yeah, we see history repeating itself. steve, i always go back to this question by gallup. they have been pulling on this. do you think there should or should not be a law ban the possession of handguns except by the police or other authorized person? most recent poll in june found that 27% believe there should be such a ban. 73% say no. you go back one decade the split is exactly the same. one quarter says yes. three quarters says no. so, you know, if you ask any member of hollywood those numbers would flip, you should ban them except when we are on the set and getting paid 10, $20 million that features largely gun violence, steve. >> steve: once again, the double standard in hollywood. see you over at the market basket that's the growthry store in town. breakfast time first,steve. >> steve: is that a hot dog and a beer. >> it's a hot dog in a beer. do i put that in there and then i create a straw and then that's how that is going to work? >> steve: the guy did it at the

4:53 am
her out of the car window. >> i thought i was dying. i thought i was going to die. i didn't see anything. i thought i was about to die. every day to get my daughter. >> robert ray. what did you see at the time? what were you thinking? >> yeah, good morning to you, yeah, it was really quite a situation. as i was about to do a report, i turned around, guys, saw a vehicle floating and i thought oh my gosh. okay. i wonder if that vehicle came in from a part of the underpass that submerged and then i heard the voices. i heard screaming. and that was a woman named stephanie carroll. and she was screaming for help, help. so i did what anyone does. when a person is in peril, and by the way when our first responders do every day across america. a new respect for them is i went into the water, went up to the vehicle, began to speak to her, she was telling me that she felt like she was going to die, that
4:54 am
her swimming capabilities were not great and that she needed help. what i tried to do at first, is push the car, because when a car is submerged and floating, can you actually move it quite easily. so i tried to push it to high ground to perhaps save the vehicle and her as well. hit a bump and decided okay, that's not going to happen. so stephanie and i hatched a plan as i was speaking to her through the window. i said, look, i can't open up this door, if i do water is going to rush in and you are going to submerge and we are going to have a bigger issue. so, calm down and come out the window, i will grab you, and walk you up through the water to high ground. thankfully, she is good. you know, she was on her way to pick up her daughter yesterday morning, it's the same route she takes every single day. but when you have intense rain and it is dark out and you can't see water, flash flooding because of how fast this was coming down, she made a mistake. just like so many others did yesterday.
4:55 am
hundreds of motorists were taken out of vehicles by the brave first responders and i can't stress that enough, guys, here this morning. the first responders yesterday, what they did to rescue and save all those lives is actually the story. mine is just what anyone else would do if they were put in that circumstance. >> that is not true. robert, you are a hero and a lot of your friends at fox weather saying we are not supplied he did this you say anyone would do this. i don't think that's necessarily true. a lot of people don't know what to do when there is flash flooding occurring. it comes up very quickly and you don't know how to react. it's true but i will tell you, i mean, you know, as you know, guys there, there is -- travel the country on every major disaster and i have been doing it for years. and i think that there is a peace in me if i can say it that way where when i see something unfolding that is dangerous or traumatic or horrific, you know, i sort of go into a mode that

"i want to stay home, i do want to get dressed." >> steve: a lot of people have fallen in love with never having to put up grown up close and go into the office. >> katie: real pants. [laughs] >> steve: that is why "athleisure" has taken off. it's hard to get a good set of athleisure clothes. >> katie: it's hard to get real clothes, too, so many are buying athleisure. >> brian: at home you aren't as productive, you don't come in and pay for a train, subway, you don't get a hot dog and dip it in beer. you can't support the economy, you can't get a new hat, a new coat. you don't dress up, you don't go to the dry cleaner. you see what happens? >> katie: then athleisure, then to beer straw hot dog. the end is near.

>> steve: but here's the thing, the streets of new york city, a little scary. i don't blame the people who don't go to work and can have a boss that says stay at home, just do the stuff. actually, a guy who lives across the street from me, frank, works at wells fargo. he's one of the managers. he says during the pandemic and since then they'll work remotely. everybody is more efficient, because as soon as they get up, they log on, they work from 7:00 until like 7:00, 8:00, 9:00 at night, they are getting more done. >> katie: that's part of the problem. >> steve: why would my neighbor, frank, lie to me? >> brian: that's frank. but for the most part, americans are much more efficient at work. how are you going to grow? >> steve: you stand on the water cooler, you say, "did you see what gavin was wearing today?" >> katie: we are at work and we have a jam-packed hour for you. former president trump is taking his case against biden's justice

"we are demanding the appointment of a special master to oversee the handling of the materials taken in the raid. we are further demanding that the doj be forced to turn over an inventory of my property. we demand that all items taken from my home be immediately returned." the dod responding saying that the search was
5:05 am
authorized by federal court upon the required finding of probable cause. but, guys, we have yet to see what that probable cause was in the affidavit as we await a judge's ruling of what will or will not be released, and trump's team isn't buying the justice department's impartiality paid listen. >> we need an impartial -- not republican, not a democrat -- impartial special master to go in and take a look at what they seized, take back to the former president what is rightfully his, things that are clearly declassified. >> meanwhile, questions remain over the timeline and turn of events that led to that unprecedented raid of a former president's home as legal scholar jonathan turley told you earlier this morning. >> people are saying, "we cooperated, we didn't hear back from them. we would have given them access, we would have given them documents." and the government clearly told the court that time was of the essence and we need to conduct a

5:07 am
robert willis i want ron desantis' job. >> katie: they do indeed. governor ron desantis spoke with us earlier about what he's running on this time. >> i think this time we have the wind at our back and i am running on a record of compliment. if you think about what we have in the last four years in the state of florida, leaving the focal point of freedom in this country. if people who want to visit here, people who have moved here. have a lower unemployment rate now than we did prior to covid, which no one would have thought possible. you continue to see us adding jobs in spite of all the headwinds, and we ended the fiscal year with a $22 billion surplus, by far a record. none of that would've happened if i had done what the people on the democrat side wanted to do. >> katie: florida is such an interesting study in politics now because there are so many people that left new york and new jersey to move to florida. but they aren't taking the politics with them. republicans are winning in that
5:08 am
state, they are registering more republican voters, and it seems like ron desantis at this point has a pretty good position when it comes to being the democratic opponents in november. >> steve: one of the other things about a primary, though, in the summer, is think about how many people show up for the big general election in november. a lot of people. during the primary, particularly here in new york, that's how alexandria ocasio-cortez wound up with her job, because that particular primary a couple years ago -- i think two cycles ago, four years ago -- she took on and beat one of the top democrats because so few people actually went out to vote in the primary. she did a very good job campaigning, got people to turn out, and they vote for her. >> katie: congresswoman carolyn maloney is now up against jerry nadler, and there's been some controversy there because she says joe biden probably won't run again. >> steve: oops! >> katie: and jerry nadler was
5:09 am
endorsed by biden, so they are up against each other due to redistricting. >> brian: when will they move over and that young politicians take over with some energy? this is 60% -- they made a new district, the 12th district. so 60% of it is carolyn maloney's old district. she earned more money than he did, raise more money than he did, but she is so unpopular, it looks like jerry nadler's going to win, and the guy can barely get around. how can you be an effective lawmaker? i mean, just step aside, my goodness. >> steve: it's the people of that district to get to decide who they want to represent them and ultimately not that many during the primaries. more in the general. we've got senator marco rubio joining us at 8:30 eastern time, to talk about florida, and so much more. of course his job is in washington, d.c., where they have had a whole bunch of migrants come to stop by courtesy of the state of texas. >> katie: they have, indeed.
5:10 am
texas governor greg abbott has sent a number of buses, and d.c. mayor muriel bowser is blasting on move again. >> we are dealing with a politically motivated policy emergency, and we think it can be a crisis in our city. that's why we ask for federal support, and we will continue to do that. we think that cities alone can't solve broken immigration systems. having said that, we are going to do everything that we can to have a humane setting for people who are coming through our city to their final destinations, and we are going to work hard to do that. >> katie: they don't want to send them somewhere else, as if there's not consequences for their actions making themselves a think you're a city. spiel and she got part of it right, she mentioned it's an emergency, and we've said that for a couple years and now she's catching up to that. she also said it was politically motivated. absolutely. greg abbott is trying to show people what's going on in his
5:11 am
state so they realize, hey, maybe we shouldn't just dump all the people in texas. we should point out the reason we played that sound bite of the mayor was because she asked the national guard to be activated in washington, d.c., to help with the migrants. the department -- she was turned on the first time. what did the department of defense say the second time? once again, "nope, sorry." they said the national guard is not trained to assist with migrants and activation would lead to diminished readiness for the troops. you have to decide, do you want to worry about actual war or about the migrants are being bused to our nation's capital? >> brian: i think the vice president is getting a total pass. she is supposed to go to at least the root causes. she had a couple zoom calls to the region? are you kidding me? she's on vacation in hawaii with president obama. what's happening in the place she has a temporary home? washington, d.c., is being overrun, 7,200 -- i wouldn't say over and compared to texas, but 7,200 are now in that city that
5:12 am
has a rising homeless operation. 175 buses have come through, and guess what? she says d.c. schools are now ready to welcome migrant children. they might be the best kid in the world, i'm sure they're great kids, but they can't be the kids that we raise because of the countries want to just empty their population in two hours. this can't continue and i hope it rises up -- every time you look at things that are important people, for some reason immigration is not high and i think it's got to be higher on people's list for us to truly address it. >> katie: the d.c. mayor haggis called the pentagon twice and been denied twice. she should be talking to president biden about this issue, and as you mentioned, immigrants bused to washington, d.c. look at these numbers for the encounters just in july. almost 200,000 encounters at the southern border. that doesn't count the got-aways, of course. we are looking at 4 million people crossing the border since
5:13 am
president joe biden came into office. you think about how that overwhelms small communities of towns, 15,000, when that many people come in. >> steve: brian, to your point that you wonder why it's not higher in the polls, i don't think it registers with a lot of people until they see it with their own eyes. they see it in texas, in new mexico. southern california. >> katie: and their taxes. >> steve: they see it in all sorts of ways and it's not until greg abbott said, "we can't take care of everybody, we're going to ship them out," suddenly at the big story. brilliantly he sent people to d.c. and new york. the capital politics and the capital of media. and you know what? now people are talking about it, going, "they're here." >> katie: the federal government has been flying illegal immigrants into new york in the middle of the night for months whereas governor greg abbott has simply brought the buses in in the daylight for people to see it. just because they couldn't see it happening when the feds were doing it doesn't mean it's much different.
5:14 am
>> steve: but it's costing texas a lot. we talked about it a couple weeks ago, texas had already spent $7 million out of the state coffers. there is no expectation that the federal government is going to give them any of that money back, so it's out of texas' pocket to get people out of texas. >> brian: meanwhile, 14 minutes after the hour, you come into the studio. >> carley: i have come into deliver some headlines. shall i do it now? let's begin. 24 alleged gang members face 220 total charges in connection with a wave of break-ins of celebrity homes in the atlanta area. this affects a gang leader and two others arrested in miami over the weekend. another four were taken into custody back in july when police say they tried to commit a home invasion. the rico case includes aggravated assault, burglary, and gun possession charges. home prices in american cities and towns that boomed during the

>> steve: listen to this, california governor gavin newsom vetoed a bill that would allow certain cities to open supervised drug injection sites. the progressive governor citing concerns about "unintended consequences" after similar injection sites in san francisco quickly devolved into open drug dens of crime and homelessness and ultimately had to get shut down for public safety. fox news contributor and former democrat leo terrell lives in an area that has a lot of drugs and a problem there and he joins us live from the l.a. area. gavin newsom got this right. >> gavin newsom got it right for the wrong reasons. when he talks about the unintended consequences, that selfish reason. he's running for president. this will play well in iowa. that's the only reason every progressive bone in his body wanted a sign that bill. but it wouldn't play well and to

mike in iowa and he be nicknamed governor fentanyl. i guarantee you, if his presidential campaign failed, he will sign this bill and comes around again. oakland, san francisco, magnets for crime. drug use rampant. there is no demand for drug treatment. you go in and you get shot up and it is a prophet win for drug dealers. >> steve: the whole thing about these shooting galleries as they give you clean needles to use your illegal drugs with. ultimately it does not address the root cause, which you just mentioned -- drug addiction. they are making it easier to get addicted to drugs. >> you are absolutely right. you don't see anyone from law enforcement endorsing this. and look what happened in san francisco. you had school-aged children walking around these, it's basically government sanctioned
5:25 am
illegal drug use. you don't get the department of justice signing off on this. what happens if you see more crime, more assault around these areas, because it basically is a sanctuary area for people to use drugs? >> steve: maybe, just maybe the people in california are realizing that, as we detailed in the introduction, they did this in san francisco and it just went straight south. maybe people are realizing this does not work. that maybe we should be a little tougher on people who are having a problem and try to help them get over their addiction. >> i wish that was the truth. i'm not going to lie to you on fox news. i'm telling you right now, this state is controlled by progressive democrats. they don't listen to people like myself were people who want law and order. they don't listen. they double down, they do whatever they want. that's why the economic situation is horrible, that's why we've got crime, that's why we have homelessness. anyone in los angeles or
5:26 am
california nose for a fact that democrats do not listen. they have their own progressive agenda. tearing down the society is the number one agenda. >> steve: you say 100% it's because gavin newsom is going to run for president and that just would not play well in des moines. >> let me think about that -- yes. 120%. >> steve: [laughs] all right, leo terrell, going past 100%. it must be big. thanks for joining us live. >> thank you, steve. >> steve: meanwhile, switching from the news to the weather, and a state of emergency in effect across portions of texas because of the devastating flash flooding. we are going to show you some of the damage. and the new threat brewing in the gulf. you want to hear that. plus, a live look at voters in florida as they cast their ballots in today's primary election. you're looking at seminole county's parking lot, apparently.

whose car was swept off a bridge. some areas getting a most 15 inches of rain since sunday night. could you gain countless water rescues and more heavy rain expected today. senior meteorologist janice dean has the weather forecast. >> brian, incredible amounts of rain, historic amounts of rain. they received rain they typically see in six months within 24 hours. so this is the dallas-fort worth airport, over 9 inches of rain in just the span of 24 hours, and that's why we have seen so many water rescues, including our own robert ray who incredibly rescued a woman yesterday and her submerged car. remember, turn around, don't drown. we don't need to see more of those pictures today but unfortunately the flash flooding risk is going to be across louisiana and mississippi, alabama, even arkansas. the next couple of days, that's where we have our flood watch. that includes san antonio, alexandria, as well as jackson, mississippi. and there's more rain to come on top of saturated grounds, so
5:32 am
several inches for parts of mississippi, maybe alabama. isolated amounts, 5- inches over the next couple of days. that will include florida. so we'll continue to monitor that and of course it is turn out tuesday. the primary state of florida looking good this morning. he could see afternoon thunderstorms so it's good to get out right now and vote. brian come over to you. >> brian: let's build on your statement about voting. one of the most watched races in the country, the florida ballot for the senate. leaving the democratic primary, expected to win that, to challenge senator marco rubio in a push to turn that seat blue. senator marco rubio joined us now. senator, you expect val demings to be your opponent. according to the university of florida, the public opinion poll, she's leading you by four points. what do your internals say and what do you think about this? >> after the last two years we should've learned our lesson not to listen to the polls. it said it was up by 11, so i
5:33 am
don't pay attention to those things, particularly the north florida poll where they emailed people. i'm not worried about it. the poll that matters is that when they going to take in the days leading up to that election and i'm excited about this race. elections are the best when it's a clear choice between two candidates and the choice couldn't be clearer. val demings is a handpicked candidate of pelosi and schumer. she votes with pelosi 100% of the time, every time. she's been in congress for six years and has never gotten anything important done. she's never passed a bill, i don't believe. people are going to compare that to my record of delivering on common sense things, passing a bunch of things, even with a democrat president. i'm the one who passed the burn pit legislation, the reforms to the va, the child tax credit, the paycheck protection program. and they'll ask what val demings has done except for a vote with the del mike nancy pelosi and vote to defund the police, and the answer is nothing. >> brian: she has a
5:34 am
law and order background. she wore the uniform. does that concern you? >> 57 elected sheriffs have endorsed my campaign. the fraternal order of police endorses my campaign. the police benevolent association endorses my campaign. the florida chiefs of police endorse my campaign. she was a police officer and then went to washington and decided she wanted to be part of the squad and be picked as joe biden's vice president candidate and she took her back on the police officers. they are out there saying it now. it's even worse. one thing is, if you don't know what it's like to be a police officer and you believe in these crazy things. another is to know better but, because you want to be the darling of the left -- that's why she's raising all this money. all the small dollar donors on god knows where the monies coming from from all over the country. she's raising all this money from all these ultra-liberals who want to ruin florida, by the way. so i ask able to go on my
5:35 am
website, marco rubio.com, and please give. we are being outraised by these marxists and she's raising a lot of money but she did by turning her back on police officers. >> brian: how has florida changed? we hear about the influx and people look at florida and say a lot of people from blue states came there. did they take the politics? what do you find? >> we will find out with these elections. i don't think you move to florida if you like the things way things are going in san francisco. he don't move because of that, you move because you don't like what's going on over there. we have a lot of people leave these other states and come to florida because of the policies of the state legislature and because of the policies of governor desantis, which are built on common sense, by the way. they are not ideological. i would add to that, hispanic voters in the state. what they are, they are working class people. these are small business owners, working class people who love america.
5:36 am
they know how great america is because they know what life is like in other places, and they see a democratic party that's been captured by the far left, marxist misfits, and they don't want any part of it. i think those things help republicans. >> i know you like a good fight and it looks like you'll have one. we will see if rick scott, who's got the purse strings to the senate gubernatorial race, if he will open it up for you. i'm sure he will. thanks so much for joining us. best of luck. >> thank you. >> brian: meanwhile, coming up, and interviewing sure the sender would like to see. jared kushner will take us inside the white house in the way we have not been because we were not there. we were on the outside. he brings us inside including about the mar-a-lago raid. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> steve: former president donald trump fighting back and taking his case against joe biden's department of justice to court. >> katie: trump is calling for an independent special master to review a document seized during the fbi raid on mar-a-lago earlier this month. >> brian: jared kushner is the author of a book called breaking history. it's excellent. we'll get detail on a moment. welcome to the couch. first appearance. first off, your reaction to weeks ago when you heard about the raid, and your reaction to the president's legal maneuver yesterday? >> i was as shocked as most people wear. if you read the book, i talk about how we went to washington, we are trying to implement policies on trade and cutting taxes and trying to solve some of the wars and create peace, which we ended up doing. and i write about that, but the relentless attack against trump started during the campaign. the fbi was spying on his
5:42 am
campaign and then we spent two years having to disprove that we were colluding with russia. after we finally proved that we were clear on that one, then they tried to impeach him over it, trying to investigate corruption in ukraine. unfortunately we have lost a lot of faith in the fairness of the judicial system and it seems like they keep trying to find more and more things to go after trump on. he was a businessman, a great businessman. he wasn't a career politician beforehand. it just seems like what they keep doing is breaking norms in their attempt to try to get him. >> katie: jared, the appointment request for the special master is clearly a way to try to gain credibility back to the process because the doj can't be trusted giving the pattern of behavior starting in 2015, 2016, with the first election going through the special counsel investigation, on and on, which are very familiar with. so how do you see this moving forward given we are waiting for the affidavit and possible reduction coming on thursday? can anyone really trust the
5:43 am
process here? >> i think transparency will be a friend of the process. one thing i find very funny is a big issue that i champion that president trump was able to get done, criminal justice reform. what's happening now is a lot of the people on the hard right who are against it are saying there overzealous prosecutors who are too powerful and people on the left always calling for and assessing the prosecution should go with no holds barred. so i'm on my third day in washington, i learned that hypocrisy is something you can't really be bothered by, but it seems to be in high degree right now. >> steve: i think you are not on the first day. just saying. [laughter] so he's asking for a special master, asking for them to stop going through the stuff as they may be right now. "the new york times" has gotten the item today from maggie haberman and some of the other reporters that apparently there were 300 classified documents at mar-a-lago over the last year or so. they think they've gotten them all by now. why would the former president
5:44 am
have that many classified things at mar-a-lago? >> i'm not familiar with what exactly the contents where, but what i will say from my personal experience is that -- again, in the campaign, in the transition, we had a very innocent meeting with the russian ambassador and then four months later you are reading that the intel agencies are leaking to "the washington post" that we requested the secret back channel, and "the new york times" and cnn go crazy for a weekend accusing us of treason, and it turns out such a thing never happened. so i think you have to be very careful with what you read and how you wait for the facts to develop. but there are so many things that have been hyperventilated about over the last years that turned out to be nothing. that's why i wrote this book, because i wanted people to understand what it's like to be living through that when you know you've done nothing wrong and do their trying to get good things done. people are out there accusing you of all these crazy things and you have to prove that these things didn't happen. >> brian: and it almost took you down, and knowing that
5:45 am
you're innocent, you gave all your time and all those interviews and still had to wonder if the process would work. i'm going to bring you to the way you guys ended, the middle of the pandemic. the guy that was front and center was anthony fauci. he's leaving after 50 plus years and i'm wondering, do you look at him as a prophet or a problem? >> those are different definitions. i think it's good after 50 years that we get fresh blood. i think what we saw during the pandemic is there were a lot of gaps operationally in the system. it was not designed to test you have a lot of professors very good at writing papers are giving out grants, but their ability to actually operationalize in real form was quite lacking. so we brought a lot of people from the private sector and a lot of people from the military. i think that you had a lot of people in washington try very hard to say that they are not wrong instead of actually getting things done, and we didn't really have time to worry about who was wrong or right.
5:46 am
we were just trying to get things done to save lives. >> steve: and, you know what? part of that was a business experience even the former president brought to the executive branch. i know people involved in operation warp speed who worked with you and said ultimately what we are trying to do is move faster than the federal government works, because anthony fauci and company and everybody else moves historically very slowly, where you were trying to go at warp speed. >> they all said it could never be done, and president trump would always set unrealistic goals and everyone would criticize that, then we'd go and bulldozed through things and get them done. i wrote about this in the book, how over four years i learned so many lessons. some from mistakes, some from things that went well, some from watching others, that allowed us to set up operation warp speed in a way that gave it the best chance of success. dumb academic speech he won your

compass rents in the middle east is the speech he one of your big accomplishments was the abraham accords. talk about the dangers posed to the region that you are able to stabilize their trade and business. >> they have been playing the hand as weak as possible. when president trump came in and 2016 we inherited an awful hand in the middle east. iran was flush with cash, syria was in a civil war. allies were betrayed. isis had a caliphate the size of ohio. over 3.5 years we reverse the whole course and got our first peace deal in the abraham accords. the nick at the next peace deal and the next piece deal. the obvious thing to do would be to say that this is working, after 20 years of failed policy in the middle east. yet everyone mocks the approach we took but we are outsiders and took a fresh approach and achieve results. i go through how we did this because this was very complicated stuff.
5:48 am
with the obvious thing to do, if they had a great hand, keep playing and following the policy, but instead they did a complete 180 and went back to the old policy with iran that didn't work. so i think it's a recipe for failure. if they make the deal, i think the strength of what trump did in the middle east can endure hopefully despite it but i think it's a very misguided and i hope they don't do it. >> katie: it's not as bad policy, its dangerous world. not just for the middle east but the united states of america. >> brian: they were cheating, you caught them, you exposed it, they saw the nuclear program, they use their money to foment terror in the region, and other going to go back to it, it seems. stick around, we want to break down what's inside your book. >> steve: we are going to take a quick timeout and on the other side we will ask you if your father-in-law is going to run for president again. i'm just telling you. i think you already know the answer. in the meantime, we'll bill hemmer take over at 9:00? the answer is yes.

5:54 am
but even though we are having two parents working in the white house and not being as available to their children as they could, that's in one of the great benefits of being out of office now, you get to know your children spend time. but i think for them it was a very unique experience and they obviously love their grandfather. even now, we live at homes next to each other in the summer in bedminster and they run in and out of his house all day. he's always giving them chocolate and doing the things he loves doing. >> steve: one of the other things, speaking of family, you read the book from the first person and you talk about what it's like to be a dad. you're working 18 hours a day, it's rough on you and ivanka because you can't see your kids, and now that you're retired from the white house he spend more time with your kids. but i like the way you talk about your father. because when you were young, your father wound up going to prison, and that is one of the things while criminal justice reform became so important to you. >> yeah, so, my father is an amazing businessman and an
5:55 am
amazing philanthropist, and as i learned -- she got caught on the wrong side of a political investigation from a very over politically zealous prosecutor. he made a mistake -- named chris christie. and paid a price for it. what i learned from that experience is in life things can be taken from you and the things you think are real are often not real. through his experience i met tons of people who i wouldn't met otherwise. people might make mistakes and you can't judge people by the worst decision they ever make. my father is an incredible mentor. he taught me a lot about business, a lot about life, and a lot of the lessons he taught me and some of the challenges i had helped me succeed ultimately in business before this and succeed in my time at the white house. >> steve: i love the fact that you said you and your dad would get up at 4:30 in the morning to train together for the new york city marathon. >> some days my dad was a volunteer firefighter, so sometimes he would be getting home from a fire at 4:30 and then join me. so it was quite an experience, but we loved the time together and he's my best friend and an

5:57 am
getting results done as opposed to kelly was more focused on having a good process. >> brian: felt that they tried to shut him off for a while. >> i think they had a more conventional view. trump is trying to fix the world and they were trying to manage the world. i read about these tensions but a lot of the things he achieved, people thought were impossible. you take the middle east, the conventional thinking from john kerry before i came into office was that they would never be peace between israel and the palestinians, or israel and the arabs, and i believe that conventional thinking, because what the hell did i know? we took an outsiders point of view whereas kelly was really more a part of the system and he thought he knew everything and was not open to dialogue, discourse. again, i think there are some things he did well. i read about those, but some areas where i think he held the president back in ways where he thought he was doing the right thing but maybe was imposing
5:58 am
