luke harding is never really bothered much with facts he does a different type of thing and i think you know what i mean. patrick one of the things that's really sad here is that if you look at the fascinating career of weiqi leaks and they've been right just every single time they have a wonderful track record no news agency can match that but through the career of weiqi leaks and julian assigned she's made a lot of enemies during the bush years the democrats loved george w. bush was criticized with all the document releases but then when but desta came around it switched now both parties and the deep state and feckless people who call themselves journalists don't want to stick pull their head out of the ground i could use other language but this is t.v. you know this is a perfect storm against julian assange isn't it. you know it is if if truth if truth was was the gold standard by which professional journalism was measured then wiki leaks and julie songe would be heralded heralded right now instead of hounded yeah joyce and could walk right out the door within weeks and he would have

i know luke harding. reputable, hard-working reporter. i just think, you know, we're all prefacing our remarks about the significance of this with "if true." if true. and i think this story needs to be matched before we can make what would be bombshell connections. >> you say -- >> if this is true -- >> i've got to go at you and then the congressman. you say my words are wrong, but you just described taking a very serious international outlet, "the guardian," saying they're not good enough, you need other reporters to match it. i would call that skepticism. >> okay, well, i can quibble. on something this big, i would want to see -- to be utterly confirmed, i mean, i give them the benefit of the doubt, but before we go racing to what it fully means, i would want to see the intelligence report itself -- >> specifically, an an expert on this, do you have reason to think this doesn't square? i spoke to someone in the trump world today who's not a manafort defender but said, look, he is dumb in many ways but not dumb enough to do that meeting

the reporter who put this forward, luke harding, wrote a book on the subject and is a good reporter, and it puts manafort in the ecuadorian embassy with assange while he was trump campaigning. that's a big deal. it's stunning because given the amount of intelligence emphasis on the embassy, it's significant new information. manafort's dent is wholehearted and aggressive, as aggressive as almost every other public denial he has given and then subsequent proven to be lied about, and wikileaks also denied it. the truth will out, but a significant development if it's further corroborated. >> we don't know much more about that. let's leave that there, and there's another development which is that paul manafort's legal team while after he pleaded guilty and while he was in his cooperation agreement with the special counsel, his lawyers were talking to the president's lawyer, sharing information. manafort's team was telling trump's team what the special counsel was asking. there's a back and forth there that makes you wonder if manafort is not answer questions to curry favor for a pardon. >

how hard is luke laughing? don't waste this gold on me. get over to the hendersons' party, put your keys in a bowl, do the hustle. relax. your uncool parents aren't gonna hang around your party and make it all lame. of course not. hey. i just heard a story about a kid who had an unsupervised party and one of the guests broke his leg because he jumped off the roof onto a trampoline and sued the parents. we have a trampoline. and a roof. i need to know that you're joking. mom, i have everything under control.

or journalist luke or of a ses it's hard for people to change long held traditions but need to move with the times before it goes so far it's it would be it will be very difficult to defend this tradition. but i remember vividly the first day of my primary school you know being scared of this guy who had his surprising eyes coming to us it was a white man in a black face but he was the interesting character not since you know the same book a it was a nice old man but we were more interested by this person with the big crawling eyes so it's impossible i think to continue as he is but only it is not racism a troll and we live in a funny world where the political correctness is becoming credible things evolve and obviously with the outcry in the netherlands you cannot keep a spot to pete pete that's it's unfortunate for those who love traditions but so it is. ok some news just coming into us from brussels police have shot at a police station after he'd stopped an officer with a knife the officers injuries are not thought to be serious the suspected attacker is in hospital no reports say the

luke bowanko was signed, a die hard capital fan and aan of the redskins growing up. he knows this opportunity is big family.andr his >> i haven't even talked to him on the phone yet. i know they're happy. they supported me. he was on the couch a few weeks ago. >> he said the cast wenting the stanley cup. ueimate highlight this year. for one of the capitals stars, he might be feeling little down and out. we will refer to him as t.j. ugh guy oshie after taking a stick near the eyeas night requiring stitches. this. taking a hit. according ta report, no hearing or suspension for mag. but just like rocky balboa, com. despite leaving twice, he came back. >> you know, the way our goal was scoring, they know how to do that. you could tel he had mission to score. >> so it was a big win for the capitals over the penguins. what was even more special was that the 50/50 raffle, they donated the portion of the winnings. and then the person who won itn d their portion so it went to the families and the shooting victims of the synagogue. so $38,500 donated sterday. >>> news4 is work

hard. light seek had more flash sixty eight minutes in and luke has crossed them and finished a nice team move to put his first full season two live. crew so much pressure up to the third goal with points and doing the rest. more than enough for light city to pull past by. signs also point to the possibility of frankfurt soaring over by and in the table thanks to the strong goal differential delivered by their attacking triple threat to medicated s.k. shoutin managed to fend them off for an hour then once a rabbit flicked the bull's head luke a job which on the twenty year old said no eight of the season. not much later in compact she is fit close to change job it she thinks outfit which is nice. to know frank front with which now topping the league's going challenge it's. just which nearly grabbed his good but in the end it was the best and now that put the challenges away frank sent over to brian in the standings and there probably still celebrating. so it's not as big an honor as usual hoffenheim all still hot on byron's trail don't have to be outdoors to stay there not as easy as it sounds

luke. maybe the presiding officer can help me. remember he was in -- an inmate. he was captured, a prisoner, an inmate. he escaped. and he was hard to catch, hard to catch. he -- before he escaped, he was always at odds with the warden, and he was like a short, stout guy. it was cast in the south. i will never forget this guy had a real southern accent, the warden. they are tracking down with dogs and doing everything they can to track down paul newman, the character played by paul newman. i see the presiding officer smile. he remembers this movie. they finally captured paul newman. the warden was really happy that they had their guy. he looked at paul newman, i will never forget, and said what we have here is a failure to communicate. i cannot do justice to his accent. but i think really what we have here is a failure to communicate. and senator ron johnson and i get along pretty well, i hope, and until -- actually, today or yesterday, we haven't had the kind of communication on this issue that we ought to have on something this important. and i and -- i can object, he can object to anything i might try to do with a one or two-y

interesting in luke -- and interested in luke's analysis. , and what in this thought was so interesting there is that martha mcsally did start off as a moderate, and then ran hardright. i thought it was just to win her primary, and then she just started going. sinema, whostin started out liberal was moving to the middle. i was like, this was interesting. will -- haver team met with martha mcsally. i think she is going to be a u.s. senator. it is the question of which seat she is in. is she going to win this race or will be appointed to replace jon kyl when he will step down in a couple of months. that is likely to happen. really likelyoks that rick scott is going to win, but it is heading into recount territory. you never know with that. and the tester race is close in montana. scenario that was either nightmarish for delicious depending on your point of view was what had happened if democrats had picked up one seat and this seat -- this thing had gone to 50-50 with an overtime game in mississippi. that is not the case. depending on what happens in these seats that are out, you can see republicans go all the way up to a debt gain of four, which would be an incr

hard for the trump organization. i work for the campaign every day. you heard our son luke in the background.about your family? >> it is so incredible. i can't tell you how much it means to us, when people come up on airplane and restaurant, talk about how much they appreciate this president. how grateful they are, you know our family has put, ourselves out there in the way that we have. listen, we would do it a million times over. because this country is finally hided in the right direction. we're so proud of the job that my father-in-law is doing. i'm just so thankful every single day that i get the opportunity to be so close to this and to see it with a front row seat. so the people out there mean everything to us. it is so wonderful. pete: if folks want to get to noah little bit more, watch, "first family" on "fox nation." subscribe today to become a founding member. ainsley: how are your parents in wilmington? >> they're great. the flotilla went by their house with decorations and that was saturday. steve: 21 minutes before the top of the hour. jillian joins us with headlines. jillian: w

luke's analysis. i thought it was really good. he sort of touched on this. what i thought was so interesting there, was that martha mcsally did really start off as a moderate. and then she went hard to the right. i thought it was to win her primary. and then she kind of kept going. i thought it kind of interesting. another started off really liberal and then moved to the middle. i thought, this is interesting. think martha mcsally is going to be a u.s. senator. will she win this race or is she going to get appointed to replace john kyle when he is expected to step down? that is likely to happen. florida, it looks really likely that rick scott is going to win. it is heading into recount territory and you never know with that. it was extremely close in montana. the scenario that was either nightmarish or delicious. it depended upon your point of view. that is what happened if democrats had picked up one seat. and it would have gone to 50-50 with an overtime game in mississippi. that is not the case. depending upon what happens in the states, you could see republicans go all the way up to the net gain of four. that would be just incredible win for them. or the other direction to kno

hard for me to pick a bond or a flush or capitulation. alix: interesting in terms of the shift. 2016 -- will the bank survive? equity versus debt now, feels more like equity story. luke: that is something we see around markets. if there is a trend or corollary, the idea that companies are shifting to balance sheet protection rather than shareholder friendly. fewer buybacks, more balance sheet repair. the fun thing with deutsche bank is when it was getting killed in june, correlation with u.s. banks, was fairly high. that has turned negative. it still seems to be a big weight on european indexes. u.s. has shaken off the cobwebs. david: within the european sphere, is deutsche bank a one-off? are we seeing support for the bonds? regulators made sure there is enough money to pay the debt, even if equities don't do well. rachel: regulators have made it clear they need banks to have the capital buffer. that is the whole point of the crisis. we do not want to see banks getting into trouble like lehman brothers. european banks versus u.s. complex, there is a divide between how european financials perform versus u.s.. it will be interesting to see how the lower yields, come t

best, a luke warm, pro-european, but somebody who didn't turn up to the march last saturday, what are the chances something could go wrong in this vote and we could crash into a no deal -- hard no deal situation? >> i think the risks are real and the jeopardy is very great. there is, of course, a negotiating risk. can the two sides find common ground on the issue of the backstop? there was agreement on that in the december council 2017, but the smartest minds in lon and dublin and in brussels so far have not managed to find a formulation. in classic negotiation, both sides want to find that common ground and the consequences of not finding that common ground -- for all the reasons we've just heard -- are extremely severe. my hope would be in the immediate days and weeks ahead, we will see progress in relationship to the negotiations. in december of 2017 there wasn't simply agreement reached on the irish backstop. there was an undertaking by theresa may from her own ventures in the house of commons there would be a meaningful vote on the outcome of the negotiations. i think we need to counter not just the negotiation risk, but a ratification risk. the reason there is such spe
