why did you choose adam?honestly, when i went into the audition, i either wanted jennifer or adam. so the fact that both turned was hard for me, but i didn't choose jennifer or miley simply because adam said all the right things. he said what i wanted to hear and i feel as though we connected a little more and i think he'll take me far on the show. >> and even with all of this going on in your life, you found time to get married over the summer. >> absolutely, yeah. that was the plan anyway, to get married. >> everything else -- >> everything else fit in there. i did my blind audition and three days later we went and got married. it was a beautiful ceremony and of course we just had two things to celebrate there. it was great, it was perfect. >> you recently celebrated a bi >> i'm 27 now, yeah. i know. >> getting on up there. >> getting up there, yeah. >> what do you want to do ultimately? >> i love to do this full time. >> you want a contract? >> i want a record deal, i would like to tour, i would love to sh

here is why adam. you and your liberal friends have been terrorizeing, the left has been terrorizing conservatives on campuses, instilling this bizarre and pc culture that's now extending to the fact that even if you're a moderate liberal, you get attacked by the antifa and all these creepy left wingers and i think it's good because now they get a taste of their own medicine. >> neil: well you could extend it in a way charles payne the push on a left to get a single payer health system causing many moderates to recoil in the party >> oh, no listen. people don't want to admit is that under president obama, the democrats were deci mated on the state and citywide level. there was a message sent to that party by the american public that time magazine on the current cover admits that this is the most trouble they've been in since 1929 and they could go the way of the wigs and talk about this all they want but the bottom line right now the democrats are in tremendous trouble and i disagree with adam and the

that may get decided for us. >> neil: adam say that again? >> well, i mean we're talking about the economy but in a horrible scenario with north korea that increased defense spending might get decided for us i certainly hope that's not the case. >> neil: well that's right. with everything going on in the u.n. in town next week but i think you touched on it as well i think charlie you did this notion that we always talk a good game on getting spending under control but we don't. and so the government will continue to grow and grow and i don't know if that's a good longer term for the economy. >> well to ben's point listen we have a dell and it dated military. >> neil: it's posting at $600 billion a year. we spend a lot. >> neil: not enough, neil. >> it's horrific. >> neil: we're misusing our funds. >> adam brings up north korea and the reason it's so realistic what could we do to them honestly when you think about it we barely have enough ships out there to patrol the waters of the world but having said that though, you still and i think ge rr

adam joseph joining us now.king they're watching "action news" on their dvr from august. >> nearly a record here. the record 92. we're almost there sitting at 91 degrees but it feels a lot hotter than that when you factor in the humidity. so, being near water is a good thing and that's where joan dix was earlier today above the delaware overlooking the moshulu penn's landing. 95 was moving pretty smoothly but you can see the sun glistening off of the delaware there on a very summer-like day. in fact, another place you would probably want to go is the shore. looking at sky6 live lots of sunshine there. but we're still dealing with some pretty strong rip currents and large hayes and that's going to remain the case as we go through this week so i do not recommend if you're heading to the shore to really go anywhere deeper than your ankles and of course you always want to obey and listen to any lifeguards that are still on duty because the continued rough surf is going to extend through tomorrow, wednesday and thurs
