[ crying ] >> reporter: detective doty told her he still needed more evidence. so liz gave them access to her e-mail account. and over the next month emails came pouring in, allegedly from amy, of course. "i got a hold of cari and we drive in her car. i reached over and stabbed her in the stomach. when i killed cari, you know she begged me to call dave at work. then she begged me to talk to her family before she died. i remember when i killed cari that she had a ying yang sign on left thigh. all that read like a detailed confession. but -- >> we had to find evidence that would match what she's telling us to confirm that what she's telling us is true. >> reporter: they needed to look at cari's car, again. but the car had long since been sold to somebody else. but they found it, much u

liz has you from here. liz: trish, thank you very much. always israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu calling his country innovation nation, citing warren buffett bought an israeli company. google set up headquarters there. he takes his turn at the podium. but president trump really jazzed things up. he is expected to depart the united nations at any moment. we'll have video of that. president trump is heading to the palace hotel, not too far away where he will meet with the emir of qatar at the top of the hour. earlier it was not just fire and fury from president trump. he threatened to totally destroyed, those were his words. totally destroy north korea in his first address before the united nations general assembly. he talked about the "rocket man" on a suicide mission for himself and his regime that has the world paying attention. adam shapiro has the latest fireworks from the u.n. former defense official peter brookes whether trump's crystal clear threat is likely to bring "rocket man" kim jong-un to the negotiating table, or, push

former governor of arkansas mike huckabee joins us now. >> great to be with you liz. >> liz: i'm so glad to sort this out. the president is trying to govern from the middle for main street with this broad based go a recognition bipartisanship. the question is how do you get 4 % growth when you're taking more money from the upper brackets including small businesses? whose going to ask the states that question right? >> governor: yeah, i don't think that there's going to be any advantage in saying we're going to go after the people at the top of the brackets and make them pay more taxes. they're already paying more. now what he needs to do is to focus on middle class, focus on the corporate tax rate, get it down to 15. i hope he's un^ compromising about that. i know that there are some that say oh, it's 25. no get it to 15. you'll see an explosion of economic growth. you'll bring a lot of capital to the u.s. that's parked offshore and overseas, as people are hiding and when i say hiding i don't mean illegally. i mean legally putting their assets overseas because we have the worst tax rate

to see you, liz.e the democrats reaping what they sow? >> i disagree with her on immigration and we solve the problems, it is as a mother and grandmom, it is something really distressing to me so see this kind of civil disobedience, if you will and lack of respect for civil discourse, and our nation has been well-served by robust political debate. and, nancy pelosi was trying to work with the president to find some way to find a resolution that she felt would be acceptable and you see why what happens when you try to work to solve a problem and approach something in a bipartisan way, and my hope is, we can get back to having civil conversations and find solutions to problems. liz: this is really tough to watch. >> yes. liz: you don't want to see anybody in that situation? >> never. liz: being shouted down like that. it felt scary to some degree. >> what is so interesting when i saw this, i had constituents who contacted me after a community meeting or a rotary club a chamber event and said, can i come

jasser. >> great to be with you liz thanks for having me. >> liz: this website announced all donationsy be used to organize in the aftermath of hurricane harvey. in other words not a dime goes to people who lost their cars, possessions, even their entire homes it goes straight into the pockets of activists what do you think? >> well i think welcome to the world of the islam that nothing that shames them. the shame less world of exploitation in whichever are cause, i mean linda comes on to the fabric of hamas, right, the hamas mentality which is you create clinic, schools, social programs under the guys of helping to aid when in fact that's all about political collectivism and activism and you know, the exploitation here is deep because the link goes to the texas organizing project which is about helping in equalities that emerge after as you said so it's not about giving them substance and food, healthcare, helping replace their lost, destructed belongings no it's exploiting it for their activism, collectivism and i have to tell you this is what we deal with against the islamic every d

he is attorney larry klayman good to see you larry. >> liz good to see you too. >> liz: larry do youonstitutional crisis politicians spying on political opponents? >> absolutely. my good friend ben stein obviously read the court's decision. he's a lawyer as well and he went to yale and the judge found what was going on when he ruled in our favor was "almost" reminiscent of a police state. this is a major watergate. if water gate was something this is super watergate in effect because what happened here is by wiretapping paul manafort, the campaign chairman for trump they were wiretapping trump because trump was obviously talking to him and there were clear lies told not just in the media but as we know way back when when clapper made the statement under oath to senator widen of the senate intelligence committee there was no mass surveillance that's when snowden came out and revealed there was and we brought our case a few days later. >> liz: at least a half a dozen people from the trump campaign including president trump, jared kushner and jeff sessions were talked about as being und

liz are you a terrorists? >> liz: yeah. >> of course you'll say i'm not a terrorists.etting at all to speak of. it's basically they've been trying to buy times the people process through that's the only vetting so when john kelly was in there, others were in there just over meeting with senate members of the homeland security committee on this issue. look, this is no small issue. the idea of having a valid vet ting program is necessary for both protecting those who are coming here to live as well as the american citizens . this is just common sense. >> liz: colonel switching gears to another big fight over a terror crack down in the middle east we have saudi arabia asking snap to block the channel from snapchat users in saudi arabia. in other words saudi arabia saying we don't want them in our borders and now it is owned by q atar, saudi arabia and a few other mid east countries including egypt says do you know what we've got an economic and diplomatic blockade like hamas and muslim brotherhood looking at the stock for the owner of snapchat sending the day in the red.

liz: we need that. >> excuse me? liz: we need that.o be really interesting. one of the loopholes that we hear that are going to be taken out on the individual side which should cause a huge ruckus, but this is where the gop is leaning. when you talk to people on the hill, gop is clearly leaning to eliminate the state and local -- liz: oh, that's going to be so -- [laughter] >> and it kills me too because i live in new york state, and we get crushed with state and local taxes. liz: i get new jersey, new york city -- >> me too. you're preaching to the choir. so that's going to be a fight. now, i wonder if they come out with that. i know the leadership is leaning that way. paul ryan and some of the other -- mitch mcconnell. listen, they're not from new york, they're from wisconsin and west virginia respectively -- liz: mitch mcconnell -- >> kentucky, i'm sorry. so, you know, these are not states with state income taxes, right? and city income taxes that are onerous like ours. so they may take, try to take this out. i think if you're a rep

liz. liz: thank you so much, hillary vaughan. and we will have judge andrew napolitano on this google lawsuit later on in the show. let's get back to president trump saying he did not give away the door to the democrats on the dreamer deal. he said there is no amnesty deal for dreamers right now in the works. the president did say in florida today, unless there is quote extremely border security and everything that goes with surveillance there. the president also said the border wall will get built. let's bring in marsha blackburne, tennessee congress man vice chair joins me now. good to see you, congressman. >> you too, liz. liz: all right. be an exchange in the works for tougher border security? >> i think what you're going to see is the president doing sending it back to congress and saying let's take this up and let's debate it. the american people are people of orderly process. they don't want to see amnesty. they do want to see the border security is that we're going to go back and revisit this. this is unconstitutional. pr

>> liz: go ahead, dan.oogle is probably pretty trigger shy about doing that right now given they've got this big lawsuit pending. so absolutely it would be apart from the terrific idea, i agree with you. i just think it's a little delicate but you're right. >> liz: we'll pick this up maybe monday. you guys have been terrific thank you so much. we have breaking news the chicago judge ruling against president trump's efforts to crack down on sanctuary cities. the details are next don't go away. don't let dust and allergens get between you and life's beautiful moments. flonase outperforms the #1 non-drowsy allergy pill. it helps block 6 key inflammatory substances that cause symptoms. pills block one and 6 is greater than 1. flonase changes everything. just like the people every business is different. but every one of those businesses will need legal help as they age and grow. whether it be with customer contracts, agreements to lease a space or protecting your work. legalzoom's network of attorneys can help y

back to you. >> liz: thank you connell. obama officials also took price non-commercial flights, more pricey non-commercial flights than trump officials did. this so far this year the white house signed off on 77 flights for administration officials in president trump's first eight months in office non-commercial flights comparing to 94 during the first eight months of the obama administration. let's get to former senior advisor to george w. rush karl rove joins me now. kickly let's go through it. loretta lynch, eric holder, robert mueller and leon panetta all use non-commercial flights as well so what do you think of that angle to that story? >> well i think you've got to distinguish between the national security element and the domestic agencies. there's a reason why you have the cia director flying in a private plane but i got to tell you i think the president was right. tom price i'm a huge fan, but this was excessive and the administration unfortunately has a pattern of this. there's been criticism, the secretary of tre

michael good to have you on the show. >> good to see you liz. >> liz: what do you think does that 290 billion does that sound correct? >> i wouldn't be surprised if it goes higher too because what normally happens is once you get daylight and you can actually get in and fema can start doing the damage assessments and the adjust ors and everybody else we'll get the full picture, right now we have snip-its so these are good guesses that could easily go much higher. >> liz: michael you've been involved in so many different rescues and overseeing rescue efforts there's always a difficulty when people try to politicize tragedies. we have msnbc brought up climate change in a discussion of irma as physicals were evacuating let's take a listen. >> i think you're absolutely right this is an opportunity to think about how we build, how we mitigate rising sea levels an climate change and it's not fake news but mayor you've got a lot of work to do in your state because there are a lot of people doing very hard work right now to alleviate the suffering that south florida is going to have but they

liz: how about that? as the news affects people's wallets. trish: exactly. liz: to this. the spin over who controls the conversation on tax reform has hit critical mass at this hour. president trump returning from florida, he's in the air right now but multi-tasking in the hurricane-stricken florida area visiting victims, touring the devastation in nape else and ft. myers and helping out on the food line. at the same time, throwing clarifications out to reporters on last night's so-called agreements reached with democratic leader senator chuck schumer and congresswoman nancy pelosi, gives for tax cut gets as gop leaders issue statements fast and furiously and hold news conferences, we singled out what we see as the key sentences he talked to the crowds in just the past couple of hours, along with the resulting spin from inside the beltway. our political panel is going to translate how they interpret it all and what it means to your tax bill? and simplification too, how about that? >>> america facing one heck of a tax bill to get florida back on its feet.

liz: yeah.inancial impact, but the good news is, the beach, the physical beach is open, the lifeguards are out there. fp&l is gradually restoring power throughout the beach. my personal home, i don't have power, chamber of commerce doesn't have power. there are areas they're getting to as time permits. the city has done an excellent job. there is a free trolley running through the city as of today. and although there is significant foliage damage, lots of trees that are down, branches that are down. i did not find any damage to a physical building as i drove around. that's the good news. but there are -- you do need to be careful. there are about half of the street lights that are working, so they have stop signs and need to treat those as four way stops. liz: jerry, we're looking at picture, cars are surfing through the water on miami beach. one quick mention. the delano, the fabulous hotels, the fontainebleau, do they have energy? are they hosting people? >>mont an -- fountain blue is closed,

liz: indeed. and you'll start to see a lot of those lobbyists, juan, start to fight like heck because their air hose is getting stepped on with this plan, is it not? and then to that end, the elimination of the estate-- the elimination of the deduction of state and local taxes for, you know, highly taxed states is very controversial, too. >> historically controversial. so, imagine you're in the real estate business. boy, the real estate lobby i-s on k street in d.c. are going nuts. if you double the standard deduction essentially you make the house held mortgage deduction less value unless they take it. and that would have tremendous ramifications. push back on you guys, you do away with the estate tax and alternate minimum tax and have a situation with pass through, guess what their partners are making more money than ever and i think that's the way that democrats see it and they want simplification, but they don't think you should dump the money in the hands of the rich. liz: gerri. >> what you'

liz, back to you. liz: charlie, watching the stage at joint base andrews, you think that he might bring up tax reform or do you think it will be military and beefing back up our military and getting it more up to speed? >> i think it will be mostly military, it's the setting for military, but i will say this, the president should be getting on the stump about tax reform, he's been pretty -- he's been pretty reticent on it when you consider all the other stuff he spouts off about. liz: chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. >> chuck and nancy, as he calls them. liz: we have lieutenant colonel tony shaffer standing by, thank you for joining us, lieutenant. >> hey. liz: as we walk up to the speech, do you get a sense he'll bring up what happened overnight in north korea and the terror attack in london today? >> no doubt, i was almost late for the interview because i was on capitol hill meeting with staff. this is a big issue. i was talking with staff regarding what the likely policy ramifications are of this mis

liz. liz: blake, thank you very much. looking down 6th avenue here and the traffic is already starting. we can actually even see. it's unbelievable we can see trump tower, and you stood outside it many, many times. yep, that is the traffic that is already beginning, even though the president is not here. okay. so a lot has happened. we have been constantly asking when will tax reform be dealt with? well, tax reform today has been cleared for takeoff because the bad gnaws. health care just got dealt a major blow. breaking news that the senate gop will not because it cannot consider the graham-cassidy bill, they didn't have enough votes for it, they already knew three senators were out, and that effectively kills any health care reform effort for now. president trump had bluntly told lawmakers earlier that if they couldn't get it done, he will force them to work with democrats on health care. so what is the scuttlebutt about all of this inside of the beltway? let us go to bret baier, host of special report on fox news. i do
