no idea fighting bragg here tomorrow.he next morning the assistant secretary of war charles who was present in chattanooga at the direction of stanton. secretary of war. was a spy in the field was turned to spy on grant and the mississippi river valley and then spent to spy in late summer. now he's back with durrant innes at chattanooga the newspapermen and unrecognized by many for exactly what he a was. once corps commanders will describe him as a despicable. however on the morning of the 26th of november before setting out with the union forces telegraphed to stanton prisoners taken yesterday at reported this morning 3500. but probably not over 3000 with 52 canada, 5000 stands of small arms. ten legs among the prisoners large proportion of officers and colonels down. the storming of the ridge by our troops was one of the greatest miracles in military history. no manda climbs the ascent by any roads that wind along its front end delete 18000 men moved up its broken and crumbling base unless it was his fortune to witness

i'm earring to why they changed name of fort bragg to fort liberty.he other base, -- eight other bases adopt new names to make it seem more inclusive. where does it stop? will democrats change the name every structure after every slave owner? we're looking at the hudson river and the george washington bridge. hundreds of thousands people go across the george washington bridge connecting new jersey to new york. i'm one of them. george washington owned slaves. are they going to rename that iconic bridge too? please don't. representative michael walsh is a current colonel in the army national guard. i understand, we haven't talked about this before, you served there too. you know my dad did at fort bragg. i'm going to call it that? do you have to change? >> this is a manufactured issue. this is manufactured by activists by politicians and the by media. i served for 27 years. not once did i hear any of my green berets, anyone complain about it, say they were offended and saying they weren't going to stay in the army because of fort bragg or fort benning.

can speak to older generations who say, yeah, i was also at fort bragg.l of a sudden this demarcation line going forward that you won't have that connection to soldiers who, i don't know, i was at liberty. oh, liberty, which one is liberty? >> right. i think that's right, will. i think it does potentially do that. i mean, i understand the reasoning behind it. and, you know, one of the suggestions that was made by james buckston the jr., the -- he was the president of the local chapter of the naacp in fayetteville, he said, look, let's name this after edward s. bragg who was a union general, a successful lawmaker: let's keep the name the same. didn't hear that. instead hay went with the awe-inspiring name of liberty. and what this tells me is these are politicians and senior officers who were no more invested in this than the politicized move that it was. what i wore aaren't -- worry about is the mental health of our veterans as we turn the page on a 20-year war and now another aspect of their identity that they're trying to figure out as they move forward

and alvin bragg address that as to why he thinks he has been treated the same.ut that is something i think reasonable minds can differ. i don't think that is the case with respect to these charges. it simply is not the case that junior people are being let off but presidents are being singled out. in fact it would be quite the reverse. if you weren't charged under the circumstances you made illusions to an air force lieutenant colonel, that was the case where somebody was charged just a few months ago, pled guilty, and was sentenced last week to three years in jail in a crime that looks violence egregious then with the former president did. so we're either a country of laws, where everyone is held to account or not. so this really is a defining moment for this country in understanding the rule of law. >> to your point about that, just remember to take a step back here. i don't think you need to have a law degree to think, boy, if the fbi shouldn't my house and found 100 classified documents all over the place, i would probably be in trouble. that's obviously the

they're proud of where t they served, saying that i was a fort bragg soldier.was part of the specialt brag forces or the airborneg . i went through basic trainingng. at fort benning is a point of pride for every soldier that i know. is not only is this a manufactured issue, it's a massivsue waste of taxpayere time and money for the military right now. and it's one more bit ofthat evidence that this pentagon t is focused on all the wrong things rather than focus on a re warrior spirit and wharfieis and defending this great nation and making our enemies deathly afraid of starting any wars. >> well, look, i was lookingrt down because it was north of six million dollars to change this nam e. i mean, that's - a lot of cash . i'm certain that we could have t spent that on other things. i t so i don't have a number yet, but i'm hearing it's costing a heck of a lot more than that. but but harris, it's also costing the local communities, right? i mean, you have businessecommut s, the fort benning, fort bragg barbershop or or tourist sites or what have you . right. and t

the alvin bragg prosecution is political. it is what trump says it is. it is a weaponization of the criminal justice system in my view. this is a different ballgame, as you say, bill. these are prosecutors bringing charges that they have routinely brought and won in federal court. but it's also important to note that these indictments always read to defense counsel as horrific documents. every case i've ever had when i've read the indictment my heart has just sunk. but then when you look more closely at the specifics, they the end to fray on the edges. so we will take a look at this. if it's like bragg we'll see a weak indictment and weak theory for prosecution. i don't think this will be that same sort of profile. the key here is not the underlying crimes. those are well established crimes. the question will be what evidence they have and whether they can establish intent. the trump team has been saying look, we view this as a civil documents matter. we gave up some documents, we retained some. we were in discussions, we responded to requests from the f

when we got access to the sars report, alvin bragg indicted trump in new york, day we got access to 1023m showing bribery between joe biden and hunter biden, they indict donald trump again. every time the oversight committee has evidence of bribery and money laundering, they indict donald trump. >> kevin: is congressman mace right or wrong on this? >> republicans are right to feel frustrated with this. it is obvious there are two standards. donald trump is the number one figure that the establishment doesn't like and he's been subjected to russia gate hoax, two impeachments, two indictments and one need not defend trump's behavior that was released in order to point this out. hillary clinton, joe biden have been accused of similar crimes. joe biden stored documents in his garage improperly. hillary clinton used bleach -- these are the exact same crimes and yet trump is only one who has to go to a courthouse to answer for them. it is selective prosecution in this case. >> kevin: new abc news poll shows plurality of people who believe the former president should have been charged with a cr

fort bragg is fort liberty.about this. congressman molton, let me go to you first. do you welcome this? do you think it's finally good for the country to move on from having military bases named after confederate civil war figures? >> yes, absolutely. i mean, look, i think it's long overdue. i think it's widely embraced. when you look at how careful this bipartisan group of experts has come together to make recommendations, how careful they've been about really renaming these bases after real true heroes. true heroes to our country, not people who fought against our country, but true heroes who have made our country better and stronger. there's a lot of enthusiasm about the new names of these bases even though there are, of course, some people nostalgic for the old ones. this change is long overdue. there's a lot of support from the military itself. and so it's -- it's heartening and encouraging to see it finally come to pass. >> congressman waltz, what did you think of that? >> you know, look, seth and i work t

again, when we back earlier this year to alvin bragg's case in manhattan against trump, this is similar to what we heard at that point, a first wave of not only support for trump in terms of standing alongside him and saying this case is not something that should have been brought, but also an overall questioning of the system under which it was being brought. we will continue to see how this statement evolves. it's interesting to point out that we heard from a lot of candidates and fellow republicans across the country as soon as news of the indictment came out but then once the details from the indictment were made public there has been kind of a not as loud perhaps response in terms of ingesting the details and seeing what it is the department of justice is alleging. there is just a little bit of a difference in the reaction from that point. host: you also contributed to the associate press coverage over the weekend as president trump held events in georgia and north carolina which were his first public events since this recent indictment was announced. what was your impression of ho

i don't know that i agree that alvin bragg's criminal case will be delayed because of donald trump's case. typically, first time, first in writing. if alvin bragg's case was filed first, i think it's been scheduled for march, i would expect that to take priority. and then, which rings true on fani willis, which is i don't know that any case goes first before mine. now again, before the mar-a-lago case has been filed first, before her case gets filed, i think she might have to wait in line behind jack smith on this one. >> jen reuben, not being a felon is not, it's not listed in the constitution as a requirement for being president of the united states. you have to be at least 35 years of age, you have to be a natural born citizen, not a naturalized citizen, and you must be living in the united states for at least 14 years. there was one specific charge that was not brought against donald trump in the indictment that did have as a clause, that if you're convicted of this, you can hold office. although some lawyers say that that wouldn't stand up to constitutional muster anyway. i don'

i sit up and called out bragg's politicized hit job and i have spoken up for 30 years about the abuse of the criminal justice process to have influence politics. but, this is simply not true. this particular episode of trying to retrieve those documents, the government opted responsibly and it was donald j trump that opted irresponsibly. shannon: presumed innocent until otherwise proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. jackson said that in a court of law when he talked to us on friday about this. i want to make sure that while we have you here asking you about this fbi document that they have been warmed over, this 1023, the top democrat on house oversight has said, because he has seen it, too, there was something there that under your administration that it was closed off, it is linked to rudy giuliani, some back and forth. i stand at 100% by my statement that we were told by the fbi team that visited us monday junt determined that there were no grounds from the initial assessment surface by rudy giuliani to a preliminary or full-blown investigation and was therefore closed down. wa

but alvin bragg has gone first.ern for these local prosecutors who may very well be out ahead of doj? >> i think it's much more difficult to go first. i'm reminded of a situation where i was the beneficiary, as u.s. attorney in the eastern district of michigan. we were investigating the former mayor of detroit on a number of corruption charges. and he got indicted first in the state court system for committing perjury during a trial. he was convicted and resigned from office as a result of the perjury conviction. and what was so interesting about that, we became the immediate beneficiaries of that result because people suddenly saw that the emperor had no close. and people who once feared him or wanted to curry favor with him suddenly no more and were willing to come in and talk with us about all kinds of things. so i think alvin bragg is the lead blocker here, and everyone else will ride his coattails. but there is also some harm and risk that comes with being the lead blocker, and that is you also attract all of t

what is the plan here from -- alvin bragg, i should say.hat is the plan for the congressional element to defend and support the president? >> right. on the house side, house republicans especially the leadership of the house and the committee chairman, are lining up around donald trump and they are rallying around him. you are seeing statement after statement come out in support of donald trump and attacking merrick garland, jack smith, the fbi and the department of justice. and the judiciary committee has already demanded documents and records and communications about this special counsel investigation. you know, it's possible that they will get no such records or very limited records. they only have access to certain materials. for instance, usually the justice department will not give them anything regarding an ongoing or active case. but they can try to make jack smith's life miserable. they can condemn him publicly, inundate him with subpoenas or demands for records, and they canner could try to restrict funding it the justice departme

i think willis in georgia is going to do it, just like the crazy case up in new york with da alvin braggmanhattan, everyone knows that case is ridiculous. i think everyone sees all these cases are ridiculous. the president has the power on this special counsel case the president has the power to classify and control access to any national security information that flows from the constitutional. that's straight from navy v egan a unanimous decision of the court written by justice black monday back in 1988. everyone understand that except this political special counsel jack smith who, by the way, we actually deposed him back in may of 2014. we deposed jack smith, the oversight committee deposed jack smith when he was looking for -- think about this. looking for ways to actually prosecute the very american citizens who were being targeted by obama's irs and lois learner. >> brian: my final thought about jack smith and we'll have to have you back on the banks, have a little audibles, is he failed to get governor mcdonald. he failed to get senator menendez. >> yep. >> brian: he failed to get

the army base in north carolina, formerly fort bragg, is undergoing a major change. or look at the renaming ceremony today and why the department of defense decided to change its name. plus, harmful bacteria found in a body of water in san diego where officials say people should avoid all contact with that toxic water. next it is the first friday of a brand new month, the month of june, and the gloom has wiped away. we have sunshine over the estuary and we'll talk about the sunshine and the impact it will have on your weekend as the news continues right here on ktvu. fox martial arts is my passion. i work out whenever i can. but with my moderate- to-severe eczema, it can be tough. my skin was so uncomfortable. the itching was so bad. now, i'm staying ahead of my eczema. there's a power inside all of us to live our passion. and dupixent works on the inside to help heal your skin from within. it helps block a key source of inflammation inside the body that can cause eczema. so adults can have long-lasting clearer skin and fast itch relief. serious allergic reactions ca

he was just down at the formerly named fort bragg, within the last week.r force academy, tripping and falling over on the stage. how can they say the guy taking his shirt off at the white house us braver than the soldiers and new airmen that he just met? it's preposterous in every sense. in fact, the only two boobs that should be banned from the white house are joe biden and kamala harris. this is ridiculous that it's happened. >> brian: vince, thank you. >> you got it. >> brian: the special counsel leading this prosecution against donald trump, a number of his prosecutions have ended up in complete failure. we'll take a look at smith's baseball card in just a moment. you're looking live at bedminster, new jersey, where the president will be arriving and speaking to supporters. very anxious to see what's on tap. but i wonder if you just take a few seconds to pray with me real quick. in the name of the father and son, holy spirit. amen. lord jesus, come to us now. help us to surrender ourselves completely to you. help us to listen to your voice. even when w

bragg and the georgia case, will unfortunately have to be adjourned pending the outcome of the federalgoing to be a flurry of motions to dismiss, discovery issues. so it really all depends. >> do you agree? does this case take precedence over all the others, they essentially go on hold? >> i think ms. james has a civil case, i think a very strong and well-pleaded case. but because it is a civil case, i think it will take a backseat to a federal criminal indictment that. said, judges have to establish comity with each other. i don't think the federal judges are going to run rough shod over new york judges. but i think the former president's going to want in new york to slow things down to move this past the election cycle. i think the new federal indictment is likely going to be viewed by the public and the federal judges as more significant we've got to move it forward. so i think that's going to go first. what happens in georgia we'll have to wait and see for this summer. >> cy vance, i appreciate it. >>> coming up we're going to have a closer look at donald trump's current team of at

. >> he's already done that with alvin bragg, right?re was that famous picture of him holding a baseball bat with a picture next to alvin bragg, and he calls him a reverse racist. he does the same thing to the attorney general in new york, letitia james who also has a big case against him. that is his playbook. he tries to delegitimize the prosecution and calls people names and bullies him. i worry about the witnesses in the case here. the judge said there's no contact with certain witnesses in the case, but it's not about contact. it's about the bullying, the fake tweeting, the demonizing. you know, he can ruin people's lives. i mean, the poll workers, you know, if you remember the mother, daughter poll workers down in georgia who said, you know, he ruined their lives. i mean, they had to move from their home. and that's just because of what he does plublicly to people. >> i think if you look -- first of all, you know, as we learned from the e. jean carroll case, but that's a civil case, even though it involves a sexual assault. in the

alvin bragg indicted former president trump, house republicans issued a subpoena.ecutor who worked in bragg's office to appear before a judiciary committee for a deposition. it's a move that the manhattan d.a. was says was designed to undermine his office's criminal case against trump threatened unprecedented campaign of harassment and intimidation. and it's not just the judiciary committee! the chairman's oversight committee is also prepared to hold fbi director, chris wray, in contempt of congress for not turning over a document regarding unsubstantiated allegations about president biden and his family. mind you, the fbi has offered to make extraordinary accommodations to the committee in terms of this request. but even that is apparently not enough. >> still to come this evening, a story that is sure to raise the blood pressure of your anti-woke family members. stay tuned for that one. plus, president biden promised he would do it, and he did, what it means for us presidency and the country with expert guidance from david plouffe. that is next. that is next you

again, when we back earlier this year to alvin bragg's case in manhattan against trump, this is similar to what we heard at that point, a first wave of not only support for trump in terms of standing alongside him and saying this case is not something that should have been brought, but also an overall questioning of the system under which it was being brought. we will continue to see how this statement evolves. it's interesting to point out that we heard from a lot of candidates and fellow republicans across the country as soon as news of the indictment came out but then once the details from the indictment were made public there has been kind of a not as loud perhaps response in terms of ingesting the details and seeing what it is the department of justice is alleging. there is just a little bit of a difference in the reaction from that point. host: you also contributed to the associate press coverage over the weekend as president trump held events in georgia and north carolina which were his first public events since this recent indictment was announced. what was your impression of ho

on my podcast, the truth of lisa boothe, we both know he will not get a fair trial with the alvin braggtment but this federal case is being tried in the sout southern -- southern district of florida where there will be trump supporters so why there and what does it mean for him? >> it's interesting, first of all, this case was pretty much investigated out of d.c. and the evidence was developed and judicial decisions were decided in the district of the district of columbia and now they've brought the indictment in the southern district of florida, certainly a better jury pool than d.c., less than 5% of d.c. voters that would have made of the jury pool voted for donald trump so certainly not big fans of trump but you asked jurors, can you be fair and impartial? that's the test, make sure they don't have bias so in the southern district of florida, certainly we will get more republicans, conservatives but it's also a question, i think he's got a good draw for a judge, judge cannon is a very good judge who should be fair in this case but there are a lot of issues to be decided. >> twenty, 2

you talk about bragg.gton put his top guy into the da 's office which is local, which is city state but they put the top guy in the justice department into that office to make sure trump gets in trouble. can you believe it? it's never, ever happened before. and then hillary clinton's lawyer, from i guess it's paul wise, left paul wise to work in the prosecutor's office because he hates trump and he wants to get trump. and then nobody wanteded to do anything because they say, you know, trump didn't do anything wrong, including bragg originally said trump didn't do anything wrong then he persist me for what he said was not wrong. but they took this guy and they put him in there and he left the firm and he went in -- it's a big, you know, pomerantz, mark pomerantz, and he left to become a prosecutor. he was a democrat lawyer and now he's trying to prosecute me. and then what happened is they wouldn't do what he wanted to do because it was too bad even for them. so this guy left and he writes a book during the

, bragg indictment comes around and he shoots into the 50s.here is a rallying effect when this happens, because donald trump has been treated unfairly by the justice department. we have politicized justice department. a poll came out that only 17% of republicans trust the fbi. so when you go after trump, you know, in this way, especially as brian has been pointing out, when joe biden had documents in his house and hillary clinton had classified information. it is unfair and will cause republicans to rally around them. >> steve: you mentioned the fbi, republicans are not going to hold the fbi director in c contempt of congress to show all members that document in question. marc thiessen, thank you for getting up early. do you mean that? i think you do. >> marc: i do, any time you want me. >> steve: thank you. 22 before top of the hour and carley joins us with sober news in the world of television and religion. >> carley: fox news alert, religious broadcaster and former presidential candidate, robertson has died. he hosted for 60 years before re
