tooted nine to noon monday to friday, one of the best in the country by the games, senator blackburn and bret baier. lawrence jones this country starts right now and i watch for my newscast. ♪ ♪ good evening, welcome to cross-country tonight we've reached a break. democrat leaders may finally be seeing the light on the problem crisis, families and commu communities. plea for law & order might finally get through in the face of the campus. washington, the city is headed toward does this year's in decades. one democrat councilman going far as employing colleagues to bring in the national guard for

the nation's capital. >> i have spoken national and have to have a conversation and the mayor and my colleagues, we have a long way to get there, police alone is not getting it done. enough is enough. >> we cannot forget it took three years to get here, three years of unnecessary suffering triggered by different police was back in 2020. >> defunding police us to happen, we need to define police. >> i support the defunct movement talking about reduction of nypd defunding $6 billion nypd closet. >> not only do we need to define but dismantle and start a new. >> many cities in america, a third of the city budget goes to police so we have to have this conversation. what are we doing? >> we cannot forget it was this

move the rise of progressive prosecutors, people like putin and dorcas cohen, some have resigned. they value criminals over victims. the city's are within the groups of crop prosecutors and only embolden criminals to break the law with no fear of punishment. we see headlines after headlines showing the extent of damage caused by the weight of radical reform. is this the wake-up call for the last three years democrats haven't been listening to their constituents. maybe it is time to at least listen to your colleague. >> to the spread of anarchy and lawlessness to our community. if you haven't seen it and you get in the house with your ears locked. >> antonio, honors america. thank you for joining our program. sarah, we've been crying out for help, the community has been crying out for help and now you

got democrat leaders saying we've reached our break, is this will be will start to see the change? >> oh yes. it's not just democrat leadership, they are doing this because it's their constituents, the people from communities like oakland where you have district attorney pamela price facing now a recall. it's a residence in washington d.c. who watched an afghan interpreter survive afghanistan and up in philadelphia with his family and four children deciding billy was too violent, moved to virginia driving a lyft in washington d.c. and gunned down and killed and the children in the community are the ones suffering the most. think about the kids, the parents, the father's have to walk their children to school in the morning and step over the people with needles in the arms, homelessness is rampant and

nobody is paying the price. the worst part of all of this, and i think this is so important they are not holding anyone accountable for the crimes being committed so people are starting to wake up. naacp woke up and opened this past week sent a letter saying we need a state of emergency in oakland because our children are dying. washington d.c. and i agree with the councilman, we have got to call in the national guard. we have to feel safe in our communities and we don't edit starts with the peers and start on the grassroots level like you said, the parents have to speak out and hold lawmakers accountable. once that happened, the dominoes will fall into place. >> are we going to see conservative leadership, independent-minded leaders come in and get the vote? >> i hope we do i hope we see people who realize we are talking about particularly

violent crime regardless of what side you're on, left, right, everyone can agree it comes to violent crime we shouldn't be so haphazard allowing particularly violent terminals to be on the streets and going back to this defunct the police movement, it's gone too far and people have said enough is enough and that's why regardless what side you're on, we see particularly african-americans and up and say enough is enough and we don't support defunct the police for these things and so much so as far as i'm going to protect myself and my community with gun laws that will be helpful and beneficial to me. >> someone who disagrees with you is kamala harris. look what she had to say in chicago. >> when we think about it, we know it is so much bigger than the tragedy of that one

incident. leaders characterize this crisis that requires leadership because the solutions don't require -- by the way, a lot of creativity. >> how are you thinking about this in this moment? >> vote.gov. [laughter] [cheering] >> the people of chicago have been voting for them in the continue to stage. >> let me tell you, people of chicago voting for these losers, disconnected lawmakers have no compassion for what's happening in these communities, when you see children suffering and dying and mothers crying at funerals of the children wondering what's going on, the people voted for them over all our the wealthy urban white, want to fit in groups. these are not the people from communities that know what's

happening within their own communities. these are separate people, barbra streisand walls around the house, nancy pelosi. the people that don't understand what it's like to walk to a grocery store to buy a gallon of milk to feed their child. don't understand rising costs of crime in their own lives. not people from these communities talk to every day when i travel across the country who are frustrated and angry and say vice president kamala harris is complete and is connected from the communities and they will show up at the ballot box come 2024. >> another place for justice, merrick garland named a special hunter biden, the same prosecutor on the plea deal in the move is whitewashing and coverups from the house republican leaders. >> judge jeanine carol, this all

started with the sweetheart plea deal and now it seems weiss is embarrassed after the judge threw it out they haven't been able to come to the conclusion and now the special prosecutor. >> what is interesting is whether or not weiss is embarrassed, what's happening now is there's more of a cover-up. think about the fact that hunter got a sweetheart deal, a federal judge would not accept it hunter was given immunity, that means protection from any prosecution in perpetuity for the rest of his life. the deal was written up in a way where judge asked, has this been done before? the prosecutors from the department of justice said we've never done this before so what did they do now? the biden's are in a heap of trouble. what they decide to do is merrick garland says.special counsel and tuesday david weiss appointed special counsel

because he reached the stage which he should continue work as special counsel. he reached the stage where he entered the investigation and gave the guy immunity for the rest of his life and now he wants to investigate more? this is their effort to cover everything up. david weiss is compromised. merrick garland is compromised. david weiss said to his back in 2022, i can't go further, i don't have the ability to ask questions. that was written, seven people in the room irs fbi and in june he tells jim jordan, i have power i needed and now they say we are going to make him special counsel. shouldn't be because he's working for the department of justice, no independence from merrick garland. number two, statute of limitations already passed on the most serious crimes were he could get serious jail time. number three, david weiss can come in say i've investigated

joe biden as special counsel and there's nothing there in the end, i think what you've got is the biden's are covering up and the republicans are in a position where they can't even call david weiss and ask him to testify just like they did when they said the investigation was continuous. >> was ethical to sideline the republicans? this is the first time they started to fight and because of the fighting, it was put on the judge's radar and then the defense tried to pull, trying to get something stricken from the record and the judge was not happy. it got her attention and this is how it has blown up, they don't want republicans involved at all, they want to sideline republicans during this campaign. >> you are right, sidelining republicans while saying there's an ongoing investigation. there can't be an ongoing investigation, he gave immunity the rest of his life.

what are you going to charge him with? having a special counsel, they can say is under investigation, we can't talk about. no comment. that's exactly what they are doing, the same place they were before covering up for hunter and the sad part is, aren't you sick of hunter biden? i'm sick of the guy. every time the president is the weather is air force one, marine one on vacation at a state dinner hunter biden is a big why is joe so connected to this guy? will never find out with the special counsel. how does joe biden and the beach houses? the guys wife is a schoolteacher, he's been in government his whole life. all this is cover-up so we can never ask another question. it's time to impeach joe biden. >> does the president have to respond to this now or does he remain silent? >> any president would have to but will this president no.

he got away with running in 2020 by being in the basement. >> thank you, appreciate it. the gop presidential hopeful dissent, i would state fair, we speak with young voters about the political climate they say has made it from washington all the way to america's heartland. stay with us. >> people will hate you, unfriend you, harass you, give you threats over any of your beliefs if your view doesn't match there's. ♪

we are in des moines iowa the state fair for the presidential hopefuls together with all kinds great photos. race for the white house itself so the candidates are making themselves heard and islands are ready to listen to local. >> i hope republicans can come up with somebody who can with. >> i want it to be over again and get a good president. i always vote the matter what. ♪ >> everywhere i go people have been expressing thanks to step forward and stand as a prudent conservative in this race.

>> i've felt from the first islands have incredible iq and diligent they are doing, the gravity with which they take this decision which is the most important decision in the world. >> they need to hear my agenda, america first guy and talk about things our site is not talking about. number one is the epidemic of fatherlessness. >> people need to find out who we are and what was done and our vision for the country the campaigns need to be about the future, not the past. >> feels like another day at the fair whoever wins will have to go to i was growing lineal gen z voters to hear from them home to the university of iowa those citizens, first let me introduce you to them. jasmine, 22-year-old republican chairwoman for the americas agreement. she identifies as pro-life crowd

second amendment republican. chris is a 21-year-old independent, president of his local state and first-generation american citizen. amelia is a 19-year-old and also independent. jake is a 21-year-old democrat who says he disagrees with extreme liberalism and a 20-year-old democrat. let's get started. >> the state of this country, one word to describe how you feel about the country right now. >> one word is hopeful. >> he decided. >> chris. >> chaotic. jake. >> disorganized. >> flexible. >> hate you, unfriend you, stock you and harass you, give you threats over any of your beliefs

if your view doesn't match there's. it's got to where the nation is so hostile and divided that people are getting to reach across the island and talk to your neighbor. >> read, blue and not understanding what is behind that. i have a friend right now on two different sides of the aisle. >> who's your friend? >> amelia but we are able to have these conversations about lived experiences reside on different sides of the aisle. >> you make the friendship with. >> i think we are both where we realize this is on both sides, both issues have a mess. >> the biggest thing is escalation of rhetoric over time driving this divide is projected down down voters is not seeing their fellow americans is just other people.

>> i feel a lot of people have one source for you and that's the only place you will ever listen to. >> was the most important issue for this generation? >> national security is a big ticket item that i pay attention to what candidates are saying. the amount of emotional coming over the border, if you even call it the southern border relationships with china and russia and what's going on with funding to ukraine definitely the state of our education system classrooms are becoming a new battleground. >> free speech is an issue is the college campuses with students are treated. >> summary conservative students like me or republican duties and they tell me they feel they are not welcome on college campus because they are the minority of the opinion. >> people will stop and scream saying you're not welcome here and they cost at you. people will look at you and storm out in anger, people send

so many hate messages. >> that was jasmine being nice. this past year i don't know what switch flipped but the amount of hate felt in our conservative republican groups was heartbreaking, i don't even know how to describe it. unbearable. >> what you think about the comments? >> scary seeing that from jasmine's perspective and especially our freshman year when this started, how scary in this proximity. >> when you hear these comments about what they experience on campus, how does it make you feel? >> political violence docs and harassment, it has no place on college campus anywhere from liberal to conservative conservative to liberal. >> need to learn to have productive discussions. it's great to talk about these things but not good to attack. >> you see as the inspirational

figure that represents your generation? you can go say that can be my president. >> i support president trump because he represents freedom. >> a lot of us have thoughts of at least on the republican side, do you vote for trump because a lot of people believe he's going to win? we vote together for desantis because he looks like he's the second runner? people are conflicted on who to vote for and the strategy. >> the republican side is caught up on the trump desantis thing and everybody else is in the limelight and people we've seen before like chris christie, there's no appeal and the democrat type there's no appeal with biden so i'm waiting for a third party. >> i will say joe biden but i've seen pickups, missteps from this administration saying they care about these issues and social

media posts is not enough. >> a binary lesser of two evils here. unfortunately if the democratic nominee is joe biden, i would vote for joe biden so it's not for desantis. >> most americans have this dissatisfaction with biden but we are not being provided on the other side of the republican side, clear choice of the candidate standing up for what they believe in not getting into trouble with the law. >> new york post columnist ricky -- a fascinating conversation with those voters. the one thing i found interesting is the liberal student upset with cancer culture on college campus, i was surprised because normally i see liberal students doing the counseling. >> a tierney of the minority and

if you look at the 26 how generations feel about cancer culture, most popular with millennial and least popular with gen z, they break the trend younger and younger because if you grow in that situation when you are a team has supposed to say the thing that will get you canceled, no wonder you say it's not sustainable or appropriate, it's just squeaky squeal of gen z that runs it to the ground but everyone else is upset. >> they made it clear the progressive members of the panel had a republican friend said they did not like that a friend was harmed. >> that's my experience, very progressive friends and i was shocked about how there were a lot of people open and gen z

independent they are far left or right, they don't fall into any categories of they are more interested in having dialogue and debate, and hearing more options, third-party candidates, maybe more unusual off the beaten candidates for my generation. >> all these candidates are going to iowa of the state fair trying to get younger voters as well as millennial's, who do you think is getting the most traction? >> i think biden is struggling. the largest approval drop of any generation, 22 points a year so not happy with the options before them, i don't know young people who aren't very conservative, a lot of independence in the center, rfk junior is a name i hear often in the republican party, i hear vivek ramaswamy, as a 37-year-old that is refreshing to us. by keep hearing is more options,

i'm waiting for a third-party ticket or maybe i will keep myself open but not enough candidates are speaking to young people right now. >> what about the small democrat thing. liz: young people -- they are democrats but call themselves trump republicans, have you heard anything about that? what is it about trump that has those young people? >> i think there is that populist direct a lot of the people who voted in 2016 or trump people later on and rfk junior is tapping into the attitude, there is populist not satisfied with the system and want to feel as though the regular president is being heard and trump tax into whether democrat or republican and rfk junior might pull trump voters as a result. >> before we go, do you think people want the rematch where they don't want the rematch between trump and joe biden? >> not met a single person

thrilled with that, lesser of two evils for a lot of people and no one wants that. >> thank you for your insight. native american group is the man and washington commanders change their name back to the redskins or face a major bud light style boycott. details after the break. ♪
