tester opposed many of our amazing judges and yet i see john tester saying nice things about me. h, but he never votes for me. he never votes. i'd rather have him say bad about me but vote, right? yeah, i don't know tester voted for liberal obama judges that tried to take away your second amendment, tried to take it away. [booing]. because tester doesn't share your values. john tester showed his true colors with his shameful dishonest attacks on a great man, a friend of mine, a man that i said why don't you run the v.a.? you'd be great. navy admiral ronny jackson. and a report just came out, and i should have brought it but it's long but beautiful for ronny jackson. secret service are all over the place. they wrote a report that what he said was so false and so untrue. never happened. they could have ruined a lesser man. but dr. jackson -- should i call him admiral or doctor? doctor/admiral. his son is a top -- like a top, top student at annapolis. graduating this year. incredible wife and family. you know, i feel guilty. i feel guilty. admiral jackson was getting ready to leave s

heads this hour to a big political rally in montana. 36.5% is how often montana democratic senator john testeres in line with president trump. that's according to an analysis by 538. tester is up for re-election in a state president trump carried by 20 points. so he has to worry a bit when the president comes to attack him. so tester's running this full-page ad in 14 newspapers across montana, thanking the president for signing legislation pushed by the senator. it's a cooperative theme tester also stresses in his campaign ads. >> washington's a mess, but john tester's had so many bills signed into law by president trump that only an auction near can tell you about them in one radio ad. >> first bill now bipartisan legislation, reduce government waste, fraud, and abuse. and sold. >> and sold. it's clever. >> pretty good. >> it's clever and smart. again, tester won his last race by five points in the presidential year of 2012. this is, most people would argue, probably a better year for democrats. however, the president carried your state by 20 points. when he's coming to talk about your o poen

liberal democrat john tester.what we will sees a we close in on the midterm election? a lot more to come on this "fox & friends" friday ♪ working for a living ♪ and the safey for "most parallel parallel parking job" goes to...

that backfired. >> -- took the opportunity to point out the fact that on the issues that mattered, john tester him. julie: not quite. he slammed democrat tester for voting against the repeal of the affordable care act, for voting against a major tax cut bill and voting no on legislation to ban late-term abortions. i don't think there's any chance tester will be jumping on the trump bandwagon. how will his slam on tester resonate with voters do you think? >> i think with states where there are people is up for election -- in states where trump is popular where there are senators democrats up for election they are really worried about getting on the wrong side of donald trump. look at joe manchin in west virginia, you know, he tries to tie himself to the president even though he doesn't always vote with the president. julie: i call it chameleon politicians. >> exactly. i think that's going to be a big issue with the supreme court pick. several democrats in the senate right now who while the democrat leaders want them to stand together and vote against anybody who the president nominates, they ar

pay attention. >> let's listen to the president ripping tester over voting against gorsuch. >> john tester voted against neil gorsuch. the incredible justice who supports our constitution. that's a hard one to vote against, isn't it? tester opposed many of our amazing judges. yet, i see john tester saying nice things about me and i say yeah, he never votes for me. >> i think he's leaning toward amy coney barrett. i do. she's the more socially conservative of these jurists and confirmation will be easier the next time around. the next time when the court is in a real imbalance for liberals, that's when they're going to fight. that's when you'll see the president nominate someone like mike lee, a senator from utah, popular in the senate. he has friends on both sides and he will play that card later on. for now, if democrats try and come at this confirmation process, if he nominates her with an anti catholic, anti-christian bias, they're going to have a real problem on their hands. don't forget about doug jones as well in alabama. he's from a very red state. he accidentally won that senate ra

and again, john tester is welcomed here. we're fair and balanced with everybody.l right. the messenger is gone, but not necessarily the message. epa's scott pruitt is out and concerns about wheeler. and joining us is charlie gasperino-- sorry, buddy, you were gone for two weeks. >> the italians are craftier with corruption. when you get piscopo in here, we get away with everything because they don't know how to be corrupt. neil: what happens now? the concern is that this guy. he's going to continue the same policies, right? >> yes, and presumably this guy is squeakier cleaner than scott pruitt which, you know, we should point out that scott pruitt believes a lot of this is exaggerated and he should come out and explain a lot of the stuff. i will say this, the eternal problem with the trump administration, they-- they're good on policy and aggressively good on policy. i think they're aggressively good on immigration and deregulation and i think that the regulatory policies of obama really hurt industry and hurt businesses, but in implementing it, it's like they're

this case, john tester, the try to go after a senator like a john tester, see if republicans to cake back -- take back the seat, anything can happenner we'll carry it live on fox business from resignation from scott pruitt. that we were talking about, tariffs on china that go into effect midnight. everything and anything happens. we'll carry that. july 12, president planning a three-day visit to uk, he will meet with prime minister theresa may, and the queen. but according to uk daily telegraph, uk government told president trump he should not meet with european parliament member nigel more -- he is joining us now, what do you been that. >> since i appeared to a campaign platform with donald trump in mississippi in august 16, uk government has been paranoid about my relationship with u.s. president. they are trying to deny the fact that i exist. the truth that relations between uk government with mrs. may and american administration under trump as not as good as they should be. rather than banning me from meeting the president. that should do use me as a bridge between the two. i'm n

>> this is going to put john tester in a difficult position, no matter who the president picks. he didn't just vote against gorsuch, he voted against mike pompeo, gina haspel and known to the president for being the main person who stopped ronny jackson to be veterans affairs secretary. tester's re-election campaign is predicated on working with president trump when he thinks it's good for montana. he's running an ad in every major newspaper touting bills he has worked on that the president has signed. any big public break from the president is a risky proposition for tester in a state that did vote overwhelmingly for the president, has a democratic governor. the more that the supreme court is an issue, closer and closer to november, the more difficult it will be for him to swim in these waters, whereas his republican opponent will be standing side by side to president trump and velcroed himself to the president to his advantage. >> the flip side of this, we talk about these democrats in red states, also the republican wild cards and really the big republican wild card right now

second, these republicans do not trust john tester as he tries to split the difference on president trump. take a listen to one of the folks we talked to a few minutes ago. >> what's your general opinion of tester and the job he's done? >> i don't think he's done montana any justice at all. i think he likes to play on being a native montanan but he doesn't give us any of the things that he promises. he says he's going to vote one way and votes another. he never -- he's not a man of his word so he's not a man of character to me. >> reporter: so, ali, to put a button on all of this, the supreme court nominee here will be a big issue for john tester who didn't support neil gorsuch, he's not supported very many of president trump's nominees. if he can come around to supporting that supreme court nominee, that will be a big factor in this state, this sort which is sort of a red state but has a democratic governor. it's a very fine line but the big man from montana will have to walk in november. >> the full-page ad is fascinating, but tester doesn't fall into the heitkamp, donnelly, manchin tri

he went to troll john tester. trump won montana, i'm sure you know this, by 20 percentage points.ter is not the most endangered democrat but he is up there. this targeted xap i eed campaig could have an impact on the handful of democratic senators who are in tester's camp, don't you think? >> of course. there are a lot of places in this country where donald trump will be unwelcomed because he is so polarizing. in the red states, he is welcome. it is an open question as to whether he -- will his affect on rallying his base also have a related affect on rallying the democratic base? you don't know. for john tester, he is a very -- he is an excellent candidate. he is montana through and through. he has won in tough situations before. i think it's a little harder than donald trump showing up and throwing a couple jabs around and being able to take out john tester. >> he is montana through and through. his press secretary couldn't get him off his farm because he was planting peanuts. i'm with you on that. >> i would say, he is only montana in his rhetoric but not in the voting record.

you can right your wrong in november said the president in taking on the democrat in that state john tester said a vote for tester is a vote for chuck schumer, nancy pelosi and the new leader of the democratic party maxine waters. he said vote for matt. a very optimistic president trump there. brought a crowd to their feet. at times they were chanting usa. he said washington tried to change us and we changed washington. thanks to republican leadership, the president touting america is winning again. all of this part of the president's plan to deny democrats control of congress in the november elections. behind-the-scenes the white house may already be working on a contingy plan. today the epa administrator scott pruitt tendered his resignation. brit hume joins me. make something news but sounding optimistic about his party's chances in november. >> he gets more out of doing this i think personally. these rallies than anybody i have seen since bill clinton. bill clinton could be exhausted at the end of a long day to a rally. in the faithful were fired up he would get fired up. this is trump

. >> it's time to retire liberal democrat john tester. >> reporter: the president then jumping to a number of different issues like immigration, nato and continuing his attacks on the media for questioning his readiness for his upcoming summit with russian president vladimir putin. >> i've been preparing for this stuff my whole life. they don't say that. >> reporter: trump then reviving this insult to democratic senator elizabeth warren about her past comments about her native-american heritage. >> you know those little kits they sell on television for $2? learn your heritage. >> reporter: and hitting the me too movement. >> we will take that little kit and say -- but we have to do it gently because we're in the me too generation so we have to be very gentle. >> reporter: but no mention of his epa chief, scott pruitt, the day h the president just hired bill shine, the former fox news co-president who handled the network's sexual harassment scandals. shine is now the deputy chief of staff for communications. >>> a road rage incident caught on camera. it shows a woman being berated by a pasa

john tester is a democrat. state itself voted by 20% margin in favor of donald trump, not democrat hillary clinton, despite the fact that tester is expected at now anyway to win. but this speech, ed, may change that. >> well there's 123 days left in the campaign and you're going to see him out, i think, at least four or five times a week doing exactly this and maybe more so. he loves this. he's not afraid to say the things that need to be said to rev up the crowd. and the reality is this is about intensity. who is going to get their side more intense and certainly he's become a cheerleader for the republican party and he's certainly the leader of the republican party and certainly anyone in doubt about who he's for in montana today, particularly know why -- david: he did ask one question during the speech. he said how did tester get elect pd. the fact is that montana is a state divided. it's one of those states that res very conservative on the east side. the west side has a te tendencyo be liberal. you see a di

are trump state democrats up for re-election this year, joe donnelly and hidely height camp and john testerana, that's the president's pool of you need to vote with me, don't you? >> and i think one of the things you're going to see is that the democrats are going to try to make the case that to their base, that these two important issues as someone said, abortion and the affordable care act, is something that you have to be united on, that you can't -- because what the democrats need is to hold their entire -- all 49 and then they only have to peel off one republican. and i talked to a democrat who's helping lead this fight and said look, we know how hard that's going to be. we know how much pressure there's going to be. what they are hoping is not that they can ultimately block the nomination for good but that they can do something similar to what they did 30 years ago with bourque, which is to say if the president puts forth somebody who's really conservative, maybe if we can put this hat trick off and just get one republican and hold everybody, we can force the president to put somebody

senator john tester from montana said he's all for more sanctions against moscow.says he's not sure there's a political will to do it. paul ryan told reporters that he's open to the possibility of more financial pressure on the kremlin. >> we already put in place sanctions. if the foreign affairs committee or the financial services committee and the senate banking committee think there's other sanctions that we have not placed on russia, i'm more than happy to consider those. >> less than four months from the mid-terms, it's hard to get republicans and democrats from the house and the senate all heading in one direction. we'll see if this time is different. rick? >> don't hold your breath. mike emanuel on capitol hill. thank you. president trump says last week's get together with our nato allies went well. that's after he slammed some of our closest allies over trade and spending. now the top republican in the senate is defending our friends in europe while blasting russia. that's coming up. i have type 2 diabetes. i'm trying to manage my a1c, then i learn type 2 d

he said he was there to hurt john tester's reelection bid because he plames tester for the failed nomination of ronnie jackson. the trump campaign is off to a start. they are raising money and organizing rallies and they are more and more frequent. they are starting to test themes for 2020. i have been told he uses the rallies to see how crowds reaction. the elizabeth warren remark was testing out the crowd. this is campaign trump and what we saw on the campaign and he became a bit more presidential for a while talking about economic and tax plan and health care issues, but now we are definitely switching more to attack mode and campaign mode. >> what are did you make of this and not the first time he's gone after elizabeth warren. is he trying to bait democrats and think this is the opponent he wants and trying to elevate her? what did you make of that? >> he has been attacking elizabeth warren for quite a while now. to the point made earlier, he gets instant gratification and reaction to that line of attack. for one thing, i think he uses the rallies to test run the divicive material and n

president trump, of course, is coming out here to support the republican who is running against john tester in the senate this year and is going to make the case that he's keeping his promises. and it's so interesting because when i was texting with republican strategist as it was happening, they were saying that pruitt had just become too much of a liability in some of these midterm races in the sense that he cut completely against that drain the swamp message that trump had in the campaign and will continue to have. there are people over here on this quadrant of the a preen a holding up the signs saying drain the swamp. and some straight gists thought it was too much all these story lines with pruitt were becoming a distraction. so they are relieved today that the president has made this decision. >> mave weston travel wg the president. appreciate it. coming ba can to the panel. the president not someone who likes to admit failure. >> right. >> he did saeptd taccept the resignation. what do we expect from the president now? will he come up with alternative story line why this happened? >>

john tes he tester voted againsl gorsuch. that's hard want to vote against, isn't it?nell: that's the question. is there a candidate here, kavanaugh were ow one of the otr picks that is hard to vote against. >> i don't know. i like them all. i work with brett kavanaugh in the white house. i know him well. he's a man of integrity and very brilliant. i'm also partial to amy barnett as a fellow noter damar. but i think all of the people on the list is very good and they will be a big improvement over justice kennedy. the question i have with 50 votes in the senate. what that means is every republican senator has a veto assuming the democrats all go the other way. i don't see democrats joining the vote. i could be i don't think. unless republicans have a majority. connell: there are two republicans who might use that veto, murkowski or collins. >> they haven't said. the standard answer on roe v. wade, which is what they're concerned about, it's a precedent, a strong precedent, we take precedence seriously but i won't tell you exactly how i'm going to -- we'll find out if t

we'll see, but if the battle is already lost, then i think you ought to, you know, people like john testeramp and people in deep red states ought to be able to vote the way they need to vote. democrats shouldn't put him over the top, put kavanugh over the top but if the battle is already lost don't lose in the process. >> as expected the theatrics were predictable. who were the key players behind-the-scenes in putting this pick together, this pick judge kavanugh over the top? >> trump. he's the only decider on these things. he had his four finalists. he telegraphed them. some of these activists on the outside who put together these lists over several years had a decisive role in getting to this point. but it was trump. he felt best about this candidate. he told them privately he's got the vote. to your point whether liberals should fight or not. they would be insane not to fight it. if you go to the predicate the court will be conservative 30 years it's a long shot fight but as a raw political matter they would be nuts not to do everything they can to drag this out and pull him down. >> ho

steve: as john said maybe today maybe the president needs a food tester. thanks for life report.ley: he called jillian jill. he likes to shorten it. brian: the president of the united states said i'm more popular outside the big cities than i am in london. they can do what they want. i know there are people i resonate with they found people. one of which is this. steve: they found roberts. brian: here is an example. i cut this in. if he came here i would shake his hand. is he a brilliant businessman. is he going to upset a lot of people. that's what we want. is he a true leader. ainsley: is he transparents. evidence will do the interview with the sun and say yeah, i might like theresa may. i don't like that she did this. i think boris johnson would be a good foreign minister. he can say that because is he not afraid of the backlash. steve: is he a disrupter. meanwhile the other big story i could not not watch it yesterday. i probably watched it for eight hours. peter strzok testified on capitol hill to two committees. it was a joint meeting. it took close to 10 hours. and he was
