so back to elkhart in just a moment., new questions about stormy daniels attorney and what his real motivation for taking down michael cohen might be. trace gallagher with more. what happened, trace? >> stormy daniels attorney, michael avenatti has gone against michael cohen. "cohen is being put under the microscope." americans are entitled to know just who this guy is, who is writing his checks and where he's got his information. and avenatti should have looked where he got his information. all fees and expenses of this case have been funded by our client, miss stephanie clifford, stormy daniels, or by donations from our crowdjustice.com page. but avenatti has refused to say how he got cohen's banking records. the department of treasury is investigating. some of the records were spot on. at&t and novartis have given hundreds of thousand to learn more about the trump administration and how it would operate. the "washington post" is now reporting that at&t also paid michael cohen to consult on the merger with time-warner.

to the primaries, last night the president held a rally in elkhart, inn irn, a city known as the symbolhe recession. he talked abomiut ecogrowth, on his watch here, he talked about the case for elemoctin republicans, too. but two years ago, the "newshour" held a town hall int elkhth president obama. we actually revisited some of the participants there. here are somugof their thos about the trump administration soar. >> my hometown is going through anincredible transformation >> my hometown is going through an incredible transformation right now, and i believe the changes prident trump has made in our government has fueled it. president trump has kept his promises to help businesses grow through de-regulation, simpler tax laws and lower taxes. this has allowed our economy to grow at an incredible rate. in addition, our downtown is going through a ansformation that simply was not possible just a few years ago. >> we've gone from a 20% unemployment ratto a 2% unemployment rate. it's one of the best in the country. the stock market has do very well. and i think donald trump can take some cr

[applause] the unemployment rate has been this low since the year 2000, and elkhart county has the thirdowest unemployment rate in america. as i stand before you today, my fellow hoosiers, i say with absolute confidence, jobs are coming back. confidence is back, and under donald trump, america is back, and we are just getting started. [applause] despite all the progress we have made we have more work to do. the truth is our administration is facing obstruction in congress. democrats have stood in the way of every major reform president trump and i have put forward. it has been one obstruction after the other by the democrats, including indiana senator, joe donnelly. hoosiers deserve to know, time after time, when this president asked joe donnelly to support the policies indiana needs, joe donnelly voted no. when the time came to cut your taxes, joe voted no. when the time came to repeal and replace the disaster of obamacare, joe voted no. when the time came for indiana to defund planned parenthood, joe voted no. he is thinking of voting no on gina haspel to be director of cia despite her

democrats like sleeping joe say one thing when they are in elkhart. then they go to washington and vote for the radical liberal agenda. it never ever fails. you know, there is about 12 of them. you think you have their vote. and they talk a good game. but they always raise their hand for the radical left of nancy pelosi. always. the center for effective law making named joe donnelly the least effective democrat law maker in the united states senate. i don't know, mike, but i think that will be a very good phrase to run by. he has never sponsored a bill that has become a law. this november indiana will face an important choice. you can send a really incredible swamp person back to the senate like joe donnelly, or you can send us republicans like mike braun to drain the swamp. [crowd chants "drain that swamp"] president trump: under my administration we are fighting against the lobbyist, special interests and corrupt washington politics. after years of rebuilding foreign countries of which a lot of people partake in the cost of rebuilding those foreign

elkhart has been a large beneficiary.and lee carter, a gop communications strategist. president trump, the last one of these events he did was in michigan, and it was vintage trump. he really was firing on all cylinders, he had a great time, the crowd was enthusiastic. i think these go a long way. unfortunately, i think, for the gop he's going to have to do a whole lot of them between now and voting in november. [laughter] >> yeah, there is no question. he is absolutely in his element in these moments, and we always say if you don't tell your own story, someone else will. if he doesn't, the media's going to fill in the gap, so he needs to be showing that this party is his party. and, you know, you're seeing even the democrats are out there talking now about how they voted with, in indiana, saying i voted with trump 62% of the time. so suddenly it's ad good thing to be associated with trump on both sides of the aisle. so i think the enthusiasm, he's been out there talking about what he did with bringing home the hostages,

if you been watching another president is speaking right now in elkhart, indiana.e are listening. >> president trump: we support law and order and we support the in law enforcement. they aren great. they are great. and they will tell you, surplus military equipment, right? they have it by the hundreds of millions of dollars, sitting in warehouses, getting old, some of the best stuff anywhere in the world. and past administrations said, no, we can't give that to law enforcement. someday, somebody's going to explain why but i sort of get it. it's not a good reason.1% it's about a 1% reason. we have a 99%. that equipment is being transferred all over the united states to our police and our law enforcement. and we already have it! the other side to side, but it's too good, it's too good. it's already paid for. defend the second amendment. and don't kid yourself. it is under siege. we defend the right to self-defense. never believe that your second amendment is not under siege. we believe that a strong nation must have strong borders. we have pride in our history and re

the rv capital of the world. >> have you driven through elkhart?>> acres of rvs. >> he turned to a really political rally for 2018. here is what the president said last night. >> the democrats fight against the borders. they fight to raise your taxes. they want to raise your taxes. they fight for all of the things that we don't stand for and we're going to have a great victory in '18. you watch. >> the president coined a new nickname. sleepy senator of indiana. what is the central issue for republicans ahead of the 2018 mid-terms? >> it is not clear what the president wants the central issue to be. one point you think it is i immigrati immigration. he is frustrated that they have not done enough to make progress to fill fulliulfilling the prome border wall and stricter immigration laws. and at the same time, president trump is focusing more and more of the administration attention on foreign policy because he has seen the fact that extending te olive branch to kim jong-un in south korea and gunning -- north korea and gunning for the summit and rip

last night in elkhart, president trump said i'm not going to go to singapore with kim jong un and come out with a deal like john kerry made. so, look, it's good to show strength. i think we should be encouraged by what we see in north korea but, again, the goal isn't to sit down with kim. the goal isn't even to release prisoners. the goal is to prevent them from having the capacity to strike america with nuclear weapons. >> paul: the iranians said they're not going to withdraw immediately. there's a lot of debate back and forth in the media and in iran. do you think that their incentives are to stay in or -- some people predicted they would get out and sprint to get a bomb. what do you think is going to happen there? >> i think the iran incentive as mary was suggesting earlier, the iranian incentive is at this point primarily economic. they got into this deal because they needed to get revenue flow from europe to help their economy. just last weekend, there were riots and protests across iran by lower middle class iranians who were saying explicitly they had not benefit from the revenu

obama went to elkhart, indiana for the same reason.o talk about economic issues so the heart of that right now is getting the president as well as other republicans to stay on message. i think steve will appreciate that as a former campaign manager. and the question is will the president have that message. the difficulty is in recent races, the tax cut has not proven to move the needle, so to speak for republicans. last night what you heard the president do is use a recent statement by nancy pelosi, the minority leader for the democrats in the house, that said she would try to undo that tax cut. now, the criticism of the tax cut has to do with raising deficits. it's really benefited the rich and the corporations more than the working man. but he said, oh, no, she's going to raise your taxes. that's a big key for exactly how republicans will approach this issue. >> julie: many americans are enjoying those tax cuts so that's certainly a soft spot to hit. and one that will be effective. juan williams, steve hilton, thank you both. and hav

[cheers & applause] >> tucker: president trump speaking at a rally in elkhart, indiana. went for a little over an hour. mark steyn watched the whole things. joins us with reaction. what did you think, mark? >> i think it was pretty darn good. the president has essentially invented a kind of new form here, the way f.d.r. did with his fireside chats on the radio and it works for him. this is how i first saw him on stage, basically riffing on the day's news. he's got a little more telepromptered since then but he's gone back to what he did in his campaign days. just he's comfortable in the job. he's comfortable with himself. he's doing all republicans and all conservatives a service and this is something that marco and jeb and john kasich and all the rest can learn from him. he's not being boxed in by democrat media corsets of discourse. he's basically found a way to get out what he wants to get out and it works for him really well. by the way, the stuff about the london embassy was a classic -- i don't believe that was on the prompter and it was a classic riff. i whatn't t

administration and president trump has returned after rallying his base at a campaign-style event in elkhart, indiana, tonight. but as the president calls for border security and urges his supporters to get out and vote in the midterms, this mueller investigation is looming over all of it. today we learned that rudy giuliani resigned his post at a manhattan law firm, apparently freed up now to solely focus on representing the president in the russia investigation. nbc news reports tonight, quote, partners said they had finally had enough, having grown increasingly frustrated with how giuliani has handled himself in the last couple of weeks. in a phone interview thursday, giuliani said that when he took on the role as the president's lawyer, he initially thought it would be part-time and quick, but realized you can't just jump in and jump out. he called his departure from the firm a mutual decision. more on that in a moment. meanwhile, as giuliani prepares to spend all of his time on robert mueller's russia investigation, vice president mike pence told our own andrea mitchell today, respectfu

he's on his way to elkhart, indiana.s be campaigning for mike braun to talk on a vulnerable democratic senator joe donnelly. the president is off there. he will be speaking on mr. braun's behalf tonight. and then there's this. >> mr. blankenship, he's said some positive things about you. he's not indicated that he's remotely willing to support mr. morrisey. so it begs a question, is he throwing his support behind you or you and he talked about it? >> no. we've had no conversations whatsoever. no. like i said, we've had our differences. but you cannot question the west virginia republican conservative roots. >> neil: that was my fault. sorry for the confusion. that was senator joe manchin yesterday talking about patrick morrisey, the man that will be challenging him. more to the point, talking about the guy that won't be challenging him. don blankenship, he spent a year in prison over the coal industry disaster in 2010 that killed 29 people and whether he violated safety rules and standards. long story short, mr. blankens

. >> i expect to hear more from the president spiking the football tonight in elkhart, indiana. you, jeff. thank you. >> i think he said rv capital of the world. detainees now on the american soil. what is the relationship with north korea and u.s.? joining us from seoul is paula hancocks. you heard jeff's report there. from your neck of the woods, the north koreans are calling this amnesty release. >> reporter: that is right. welcomed around the region. as you say, christine, they are using the word amnesty. we heard that kim jong-un accepted the request from the u.s. president to spare these men and it was an amnesty. it was also in very warm terms this media report talking about the meeting with kim jong-un and mike pompeo, the u.s. secretary of state, unusually warm terms. we have not seen in recent months. it is interesting to show that north korea is welcoming this north korean and u.s. summit. that was also discussed. north korean people are being told about that summit which they have not been before. also from the south korean point of view. welcoming what happened. rem

you see a lot of enthusiasm there in elkhart, indiana, tonight. got a hometown guy coming up on stage. mike pence is going to be speaking. he will be introducing the president of the united states tonight. this is an important state for the republicans, and so that is in part why you see the president and the vice president both there for this big rally tonight. it's all happening a day after the president managed to brick home three -- bring home three prisoners from north korea. really historic moment, an important moment. i've been saying it's a little like back in 1981 and certainly takes me down that memory lane of seeing those passengers, the hostages from iran. but again, this is mike pence, of course, vice president. he's going to start speaking, and we're going to watch this. joining me on set as we await the president of the united states is one of the very best political minds in the business, mr. ed rollins, former reagan political director and a fox business political analyst. >> thank you, nice to be here. trish: good to have you her

. >> president trump greeted a friendly crowd in elkhart, indiana, urging people to vote republican during the midterm elections. >> the strides that we're making have never, ever been made like this before, but it can also disappear if you put fools and if you put the wrong people in. >> the president continues to celebrate the release of three americans from north korea and is looking forward to his june 12th summit with north korean leader kim jong-un, which will take place in singapore. >> so the relationship is good, and hopefully, i mean, for all of us, for the world, hopefully something very good is going to happen. >> appealing to constituents in a state that relies on manufacturing, the president hailed his recent directive to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. he also praised the decision to walk away from the 2015 iran nuclear deal. >> a deal that would allow iran to go right to the brink of nuclear weapons. >> but some democrats say iran is now more likely to resume its nuclear program. >> it means the nuclear deal over time is more likely to unravel and iran may go

as the president right now is headed to elkhart indiana the preparations for this meeting are still going on behind the scenes. we will need you in that story as well. good to see you. history in the making. they are welcoming home at three american prisoners. held hostage by north korea. [indiscernible] we very much appreciate that he allowed them to go before the meeting it was understood that we would be able to get these three terrific people during the meeting and bring them home. it was nice and letting them go before the meeting. frankly we did not think that this was can is can happen and it did. dick cheney telling maria bartiromo exclusively that he is surprised about the progress that he is making a north korea. if he have told me this is can happen i would have been surprised. i'm pleased that it has. it offers the possibility to make significant progress. i think we have to be very careful to go operate in a way that we don't get hung out to dry. if they don't meet our standards then we walked. i think so far it has been handled well and we will see what happens. i think so f

quite a rally there in elkhart, indiana. while there were lots of people inside, there were thousands outside that couldn't get in. we're going to be packing our bags for singapore. june 12, the president will sit down with kim jong-un. last night he was talking about this in an effort to keep the talks on track, the president has completely changed the rhetoric towards kim jong-un. there's no mention of rocketman, the derogatory terms of brutal dictator. instead, he's been praising him for releasing the three americans that had been detained in north korea on wednesday. also insisting he's gotten more from north korea already than the obama administration got from iran when they swapped cash for hostages. listen here. >> again, it's leading to some very big things. and i think that kim jong-un, kim jong-un did a great service to himself, to his country by doing this. so what he did was the right thing. but they came out for nothing. the others came out for $1.8 billion in cash. can you believe that? >> jon: some democrats a

let's go live to white house correspondent from elkhart, indiana. jim, much bigger event now added to the president's schedule what a month from now? >> reporter: that's right, wolf. president trump taking a victory lap here in indiana to celebrate the home coming of the three american prisoners who arrived back in the u.s. overnight but the president's making it clear that was just the sneak preview before the main attraction. the date and location are set as you said for the summit in singapore. president already has his eye on the ratings. it's the kind of winning president trump promised, welcoming three american prisoners back from north korea. >> he was nice in letting them go before the meeting. i mean, frankly, we didn't think this was going to happen. >> reporter: but now comes the big test. a face to face encounter with perhaps the most dangerous man on the planet as the president tweeted the meeting of kim jong-un and myself in singapore june 12th. both trying to make it a very special moment for world peace. ever the showman, mr. trump m

but he is obviously in his elkhart, indiana speech also the next night on thursday night with the viced certainly looking to north korea as a transformative experience, which it certainly would be. but it was always a little suspect that kim jong-un would want this so much that he would be willing to give up his nuclear weapons. history certainly would not dictate that. his father and grandfather wouldn't have. and it was always surprising that he would be this eager for it. now the question is going to be who is more eager for this summit to take place? is he calling donald trump's bluff? i don't see any chance that they would back off of the military exercises because the very first thing he was told back in march when the south koreans came to the white house was in fact that the north koreans knew that these exercises were planned, were scheduled, that he was willing to stop testing and was argued that perhaps he had already tested enough and didn't need to test more, but he was going to have this respite in testing, but understood full well that the u.s. and the south koreans woul

what did you make of the president last night in elkhart, indiana, talking a little bit about gettinga little hoarse. i've been reading audio version of my book last four days, if i sound a little froggy. first of all let's get to the point. i think the president already attained a tremendous triumph. the release of the three prisoners the other night was an inspiring, the other morning, an inspiring sight. it was great. i think this opening to north korea is on a par with saddat-begin 1978. steve: wow. >> camp david, accords there. nixon opening up china 1972, 1973, opening up normalized relations. this is potential for something vast and incredible, unthinkable months ago. getting to the speech in indiana last night and president kind of digging his predecessor, president obama for making the $1.6 billion, you know, in some ways the sweetener for that deal was to get our four american hostages out of iran, so there was a money component to president obama's efforts and success in liberating the four american hostages in iran. there is no doubt that money was a factor, but for the pr
