elizabeth: daily caller news foundation editor-in-chief chris bedford joins me now. nbc crew attacked by antithat, what was the media reaction to it? is. >> it was muted because it doesn't fit the narrative. and it's really weird because the reporter, cal, was putting this on twitter, he was showing himself being attacked, showing his crew being attacked, and they're not the only ones who get attacked. our reporters have been attacked by antifa people, women who have had their phones snatched, who are smacked, screamed at. these guys are thugs. but his own company who sent him down there into harm's way didn't back him up, and the next morning they were showing footage, they didn't include that and simply said he'd been heckled. we put out our own story on it, he did some great reporting. his parent company didn't back it up because it didn't fit into what they wanted to portray. elizabeth: chris, you're an expert in looking at how the media covering things. how has the media covered antifa? >> foolishly and without perspective. people cover antifa like they're a bun

lawrence jones, chris bedford and dolph zigler, lawrence, i will start with you. >> millennial. you are. you are a smart and sassy young man with your finger on the pulse -- [laughter] and you know that there are bright spots in the economy wheneverren ingenuity and technology meet. great things happen, and statists always have to smother those ideas. >> yeah. i don't even think this is like a trump thing or republican or democrat think. it's just like don't do dumb stuff that's going to make it harder for millennials. they already like it easy. [laughter] kennedy: you're like the fat people on the spaceship in wall-e. just cruising around drinking dinner from a cup. >> right. and so we already want free stuff, so don't make us pay for things like, you know, take our lyfts away -- kennedy: yep. >> it's just a dumb strategy. kennedy: so, you know, it's obviously a choice between unions and technology. and, you know, the democratic old guard, they are beholden to unions. and, you know, just like there are people who say that you're not going to bring manufacturing jobs back to the

with me now, daily caller editor in chief and author of the art of the donald, chris bedford. chris, thank you for turning us back thank you for having me, tom. tom: first question. your advice, i'll make you the lawyer of the president, should he sit down with robert mueller? >> probably not. people are not the best at seeing some of their own weaknesses. sometimes it takes a friend to point them out. at president trump has set down with lawyers where there's no room for hyperbole and no room for back-and-forth the fact that come out of your mouth are absolutely how to high standards and that's not always the best place for his performances. he does a much better job putting on a show in pennsylvania than sitting across from lawyers were there to find out if what you're saying is an iota away from the truth or exaggeration. tom: you said the word show, he put on a show tonight - someone called my radio show today and said he should sit down with mueller. he's the guy who speaks on carefully so it looks like he's hiding that's not the trump we all know and love. >> i think that

chris bedford. i want to get your thoughts, essentially what larry kudlow is saying, hoping what the republicans have been preaching this is the wind at all of our political backs here. improving economy. better than expected news out of retailers, walmart including today, this is going to drive up the numbers for us this fall. do you buy it? >> there is some truth to what he says but it is not really the whole picture. we just got the bureau of labor statistics report, on real weekly earnings. 80% plus population, non-sue advisory staff category, they saw the real average weekly earnings decline .1% over last year. that is not more money in your pocket from pay. what they benefit from is the improvement in take-home because the taxes. we do see consumer sentiment is much stronger. you have better sentiment but take-home pay is not so great. feeling better, you will to shopping. where will you go shopping at walmart, costco, tj maxx. neil: what do you think of that argument, better things look for s

chris bedford, richard fowler, and noah rothman. welcome back, nice to see you. what do you think?last night? it was interesting. a couple of things that are new on the american political lands scape. the first transgender candidate who voted for the republican he or she is running against in the last election. some things that are weird that haven't changed. you would have thought with the #metoo movement there would have been more movement against keith ellison accused of abuse. we saw the dnc didn't come out or say anything until last night. they were very quiet and silent for 72 hours. not that much has changed broadly. and it will be an exciting election. >> bill: the story still follows ellison but he was a winner last night. >> julie: that story came out late, the day before. i don't know if voters had time to digest it. >> certainly the dnc had 72 hours to think about it and decided to stay quiet. >> bill: bedminster, new jersey, great republican election results last night. so far we have the team we want. eight for nine in special elections, red wave, richard is rolling y

let's take it up with christopher bedford. chris media seems to be preparing for the midterms but it seems crazy to me because you have people that have an inherent bias, whether it's liberal or conservative, inherent bias making subjective rulings on content. how does this play out in the election? >> the social media companies need to figure out what they are right now. originally they acted like they were just message boards. they weren't responsible for the content that was posted there. you could freely post whatever you wanted to. president barack obama was elected and used social media and mined social media, that was called brilliant. then when president donald trump was elected, people looked really closely at social media and said it was once brilliant and is now insidious and evil. social media giants clamped down and said geez, we're publishers, we have to be responsible for what's on our page. that puts them in one heck of a bind right now. it's not too difficult or too sophisticated for the russians or anyone else to s

joining me to discuss, ford o'connell, christopher bedford is with us. christ me start with you. i think this would be remarkable. to be quite frank with you. when mexico elected a socialist, everyone said we are doomed. it seemed to have hastened a deal. just like south korea. south korea, mexico, maybe some other nations say let's not play hard ball it's an unfair situation. let's fix it. >> mexico's incoming president has a lot of reasons to make a deal with the united states. and there is a couple sticking points. he has known our trade negotiator for years and years. and they are trying to figure out the auto thing. once they figure out the auto thing, canada said they will come. president trump said he wants to bring manufacturing jobs back to the united states. president obama and senator mccain said the manufacturing jobs would never come back. a problem with the socialist candidate is going to be energy. he didn't want the incoming president of mexico did not want the energy to leave state hands. that's going to be a sticking point in the discuss tomo

[laughter] dagen: christopher bedford is here, author of upcoming everyday millionaires and financial expert chris hoagn, show favorite, former policy advise the other georgia w. bush, paul bonicelli and author of coming collapse of china, gordon chang, trade tensions heating up after president trump is ready to move ahead with tariffs on additional $200 billion worth of chinese goods imported into the u.s. that's next week. commander in chief touting trade and the economy last night. >> we are replacing nafta with a beautiful brand-new u.s. mÉxico trade deal. after the deal was made with mÉxico, canada came along and they are negotiating right now at the white house at our territory. [cheers and applause] >> it's going to happen, if they don't we will put tariffs but i think it's going happen. economic growth last quarter hit a number that nobody thought possible. we created nearly 4 million new jobs since the election and lifted almost 4 million americans off of food stamps. dagen: joining us jon hilsenrath, china pushing back this morning saying renewed pressure will not work, how do you see it
