hats and maga shirts and screaming, why does it seem like it's always them if it's not an issue that has to do with donald trump? >> it's certainly not always them. there's a lot of violence from antifa, political violence, racism, bigotry is awful from any side. i'll tell you this, too, by the way, if donald trump is a racist, which he cleary isn't. he's not. if he is he's remarkably bad at it, because all he's done is make life better since he was elected for minorities. economically, their prosperity, security are only increasing under the policies of donald trump, which means the -- >> the fact that people of color don't agree with that by and large means that they are delusional? and guess the fact that black folks by and large don't see it that way, and brown folk by and large don't see it that way means that you and donald trump know it better than they know their own truth. >> no, it means we need to win them over, and we are starting -- >> they have more way of winning people of color over? >> so there are -- so you didn't live through the obama administration when obama rea

he's willing to have these conversations, he's willing to go against the grain, put on a maga hat, hew symbolic that was. they were able to say, look, eyewear that maga hat and i am not an awful person, when he says i love donald trump, he is my brother, it reverberates around the world. i'm telling you, he's got a great mind, he is an incredible space right now. >> sean: i look at, for example, i just love iconoclastic people. as much as i hate belmar, and i mean, he hates me and i hate him, just a fact. but it's always been people like sean hannity, rush limbaugh, the great one mark levin, conservatives that defended him, and culture, just conservatives defend him. not liberals. why? why would that be, considering they claim to be the champions of free and open exchange of ideas, ideas, opinions? >> i think a lot of times it's hard for them to step out of their own reality and a lot of the things they say are not rooted in very many facts. i have to say, carne offered me a very different perspective on the right, we tend to say, this came from ben shapiro, fax don't your feelings. w

one of them is walking around the state wearing a maga hat, the other one says i'm nominating him fore prize the other is an outside businessman. >> the red state democrats in those states, donnelly and manchin, i was surprised they didn't flirt with blankenship and try to puff him up. >> it's interesting. that has not ever worked terribly. >> worked well for clair. it can work. >> point withdrawn. i am watching trump because he -- his point is right as saheel said and he should be more incentivized than even the ordinary president for two reasons, because if he loses the house of congress it's not just his legislative agenda that's in peril, but there is a whole host of investigations and, yes, the other "i" word that are the potential outcome for this. so every president shouldn't be complacent at his midterm, this president actually is right about complacency. >> matthew, the one thing we are not seeing in the republican primaries is the debate of the faye fewer of what conservatism means. everybody is like i'm accepting the trump definition of conservatism. it's not what paul ryan

and ever since trump's base started rocking those maga hats, we've had to keep them tucked away out of [ cheers and applause ] yeah. yeah. >> seth: how exactly are you going to do that? >> step one, catchy slogan. do you remember the justin timberlake song "i'm bringing sexy back?" >> seth: yes. >> well i'm gonna take that pop hit and turn it into a rallying cry. permission to try it out? >> seth: no. >> great. great! so when i say, i'm taking red hats back, i need the audience to respond yeah! [ laughter ] just like in the original song. are you guys ready? [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: all right. >> i'm taking red hats back. >> audience: yeah! >> woo. see? they're on board! >> seth: i don't know if they're on board or if they just like saying the yeah. [ laughter ] >> either way, trump has taken so many things from me that i once loved. the nfl, kanye, the idea of having sex with a pornstar. [ laughter ] i've had eno a kno what? i'm taking red hats back. >> audience: yeah! >> seth: okay, well, you've clearly won the crowd over. but, how are people out in the real world responding

liz: kag, will that roll off the tongue like maga? >> donald trump has delivered, and i don't see anyone out there that can say otherwise. charles: fox news political contributor, tammy bruce, and fox news contributor, david webb. kelly, let me start with you. that was another rousing speech in the heartland, the crowds are going crazy. but what i like about this as opposed to the runup to the election, there are some bona fide achievements we all should clear. >> this was a huge week for america and really for around the world. i have to say, a lot of people were doubting trump's north korea policy. calling him little rocket man. instead we welcomed three americans back home. i'm thinking maybe he wants to do the same thing with iran. we have half a dozen americans imprisoned in iran. maybe he can go with murderous mullahs. we joke about the names, but there always seriousness behind it and it seems to have worked. charles: sleepy joe donnelly. president trump aiming at number his home state and taking him on. there is a sense that t

here to discuss, and the creator of maga, and. and herb london is with us. and deroy murdock, a fox news contributor on "national review" contributing editor. most of people in the conservative circles hate tariffs and trade wars. i see this something bigger than that on the eve of negotiations with china and north korea and strong renegotiate nafta. >> i'm a free market type. i do have reservations about these tariffs. the 2018 elections are just over the horizon. this is an attempt to create an environment where the midwest has to vote with the republican party. trump understands that. just as he understands what the negotiations in north korea really mean? they have enormous political ramifications for the united states. so i do get it. it's interesting. the administration goes three steps ford, takes one step back. i would like to see them -- it's the art of the deal to some degree. charles: here is the thing also, deroy. canada, mexico, america, we all sort of watch as china's government subsidized its steel industry. they went from 7 million metric ton

. -- that maga hat. >> you can't run your business by petition. he has a long-term strategy. adidas stock is up, they are doing the right thing. charles: the stock is up 230% since then. i have got to tell you something. they went with the celebrities instead of the sports stars and the economy has come roaring back. >> i don't agree with everything kanye says, but people are mission his underlying point. he's saying the democratic party has taken the black vote for granted. let's base our thought process and analysis based on his underlying point. the black community when they get past the emotions and think about political strategy, we need to be in both sides of the camp. charles: amber, you covered the media, i love your tweets and you correspond it very well. are you sensing a sea change? we know there will be built-in opposition. who came to his defense -- justin bieber i think came to con why he's defense. are you seeing more and more of that? this is a country where we pride ourselves on individual thought. >> i think the reason people are supporting kanye is base has

however, you're wearing a maga hat. >> we didn't do that, though. we still say f the police, my president is black. >> he tried to clarify. to make myself clear, of course i know slaves did not get shackled and put on a boat by free will. my point is for us to have stayed in that position even though the numbers were on our side means we were mentally enslaved. the reason i brought up the 400 years point is we can't mentally be in prison for another 400 years. we need free thought now. even the statement was an example of free thought. it was just an idea. so he's backtracking. but does that make sense? >> no, it doesn't, don. look, i think even a cursory understanding of slavery and people who are in slavery -- would have better positioned him to make a factual state. he did not. his position that he's a free thinker is absurd to me. and intellectually speaking, i would advise kanye to pick up a book written by emmanuel kent, back in the 1700s, "the critique of pure reason." perhaps that would prepare him the necessary tools. it's blatantly ignoran

it's time we put possible maga candidates through their paces, choose those we can strongly support and can to get out the vote this november. is it common that someone would come out speaking so strongly about the president of the united states after being fired by him? >> in the position he's in right now as a cooperater, remember, he's not someone who just pled guilty, but his job is to figure out if anyone who is part of the trump campaign had any collusive engagement with foreign nationals or russia. it seems amazing there is no love loss despite a cooperater's agreement, but it begs the question why he's taking such a prominent and vocal role the reason that's important, wolf, is whether you are a cooperakwo coopera cooperateor, oftentimes they'll dangle that carrot. if they're dangling this now in front of him two months out and this comes out, it's pretty surprising. i will note, it was written, i think back in march before the request was made for that to be a delay in sentencing, but it's quite remarkable. >> he's also out there campaigning for certain candidates publicly. is

i heard a lot tonight of trying to out-maga each other. >> there is no problem for associating yourself. and also in the general election, remember a lot of democrats in west virginia voted for donald trump. that's what blankenship is trying to tap into. i'm an outsider. i'm not a typical politician. that makes it hard for jenkins. if there's a net loser tonight, it's morissey. he needed blankenship to go down. he didn't get that tonight. he was focused on jenkins, but he really should have been focused on blankenship. >> can we take a look at the power rankings map? can you walk us through what's at stake? >> we've got chose seven states that you see right there. and that's where this battle comes down to. the republicans have one seat advantage in the senate. and of those senate seats are four of these very vulnerable red-state democrats. that is joe mansion in west virginia but also missouri and north dakota and joe donnelly in indiana. in each of those cases, it's a catch-22. it's bad because you get all of the crows come picking in your corn field when you get to the primaries. and

i think you're going to see more defections from the maga-phone that just pump out what the presidentants them to say on a daily basis. at some point there's a challenge to one's conscious to want to scream out the truth. i think you're going to see that slowly but surely across the conservative media spectrum because there are people who are just saying, you know what, this just doesn't add up anymore. >> thank you all. i appreciate it. stay strong, all of you. trump has a message for jeff sessions. shut down the mueller investigation. will it work? we'll talk about that.

, and someone is going to want to prove themselves to the president of the united states wearing a magaat or want a make america great again. he may not believe everything he tweets or everything he says. as anthony scaramucci says he often does things for show but people take him seriously. as we said earlier words have consequences. and these words are particularly dangerous for the president of the united states to say them. he has to grow up. >> one of our correspondents who was here said he was in the airport and said he got a dressing down in the airport and thought this person, this woman was going to attack him. and some of the words she used was just unbelievable and that has never happened in his career. it's never happened in my career. >> well, april has had death threats. i've had death threats. >> we all have. i joyed this conversation. >> and it's not right. >> we want you guys to stay there, but just take a moment to watch some time. >> when we come back, michael cohen's aggressive pitch to potential clients after his boss became president. you'll want to hear this. the

more defections from the maga-phone that just pump out what the president wants them to say on a daily basis. at some point there's a challenge to one's conscious to want to scream out the truth. i think you're going to see that slowly but surely across the conservative media spectrum because there are people who are just saying, you know what, this just doesn't add up anymore. and we're not going to play along with this. >> well, we'll see. we'll see. certainly the lawmakers, and those are the folks who really should be -- that's where the jamming device is over the capitol building and that's the one that needs to be turned off. thank you all. i appreciate it. stay strong, all of you. trump has a message for jeff sessions. shut down the mueller investigation. but will pressuring the attorney general work? we'll talk about that. hen i tra. for leisure. so i go national, where i can choose any available upgrade in the aisle - without starting any conversations- -or paying any upcharges. what can i say? control suits me. go national. go like a pro. but birds eye made it deliciousfrom zu

haters never win, hashtag maga.c news reported that robert mueller's team was also interested in michael flynn jr. for his work with his dad's lobbying firm. yesterday the younger flynn tweeted quote, you're all going down, you know who you are, mark my word. his dad has already pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi and has agred to cooperate in the special counsel investigation. >> serious words there. >> how many hashtags were in cohen's tweet there? >> at least three. >> serious words there. >> joining us now, dave lawler. talk to us about these cryptic messages that luouis was going over. what do you make of them? >> i think michael cohen genuinely thinks he's being kind of unfairly maligned in the press here. you know, obviously he's been under a tremendous amount of scrutiny that he's not used to in the past. he's being portrayed by ben stiller on saturday night live. somebody who's operated in the shadows for president trump for a long time is now on headlines across the country and he's pushing back against wha

he's feeling very maga. >> ish. once upon a time it was 15 or 16 but the polling has been very consistent. the one thing that people have to remember, he's got a feeling, it's 38, 43%, he will stay right there and democrats aren't going to watch them crater. >> shannon: he's feeling good. all right, chris stirewalt, thank you so much. the long-awaited report on the ambush last october that left four u.s. soldiers dead come off more than 6,000 pages long. just got 8-10 pages released in a declassified summary. it claims insufficient to training and going after an isis target without proper approval. the american and nigerian forces fought courageously despite being significantly outnumbered by the enemy. medals for valor will be awarded to the troops who were on that mission. the defense department is praising the iraqi military for the capture of several top isis leaders. the ices commanders did not include leader who has not been seen in months. that include one of his top aides. the arrests were carried out by ira

case of the guy who sued because a bar in greenwich village wouldn't serve him and he was wearing a magao say, don't make a federal case about it, i think this is what she was talking about it. it is unfortunate that he had a bad day, apparently he wasn't suspended. >> shannon: apparently that ths rescinded. >> he graduated. go on with life. things are unfair, people do things you don't life, do what you got to do, just move on down the trail to a happier pastor. >> shannon: what he said, if the teacher was treated the same way as he was, maybe it would be fair. these folks feel like if you have a pro-trump position, they are coming after you. he is making a federal case out of it. we'll watch it. "night court" is going to weigh in. >> we have a counselor in residence. >> we'll see. >> shannon: chris, thank you.

agencies when the president goes out and says, why not get a gang of republicans who are, you know, magaate me? it's a galling thing to hear. >> yeah, sure, but what can they do about it is one of the biggest challenges. >> they can quit. there are lots of things they can do. >> you're right, that's true, they could quit, which raises an interesting point. emmet flood is on his way in right now. you can imagine element flood the same day it was announced he would be joining the president's team and replacing ty cobb seeing this back and forth, first rudy giuliani and then the president. they could, a lot of these individuals and we haven't spoken to emmet flood. it will be interesting to see what we hear from him over the days ahead. a lot of them think they were sort of the buffer for the president gentzler these actions right now. don mcgahn, in fact, sort of standing in the way of the president's effort to fire jeff sessions months ago. at the end of the day right now it's the president who is driving this train and i've got to tell you based on the conversations i have with those who

stuart: maga hats on a california campus. that's fantastic. us, keep in touch, please. >> thank you for having me. stuart: i want to alert audience for this, the university of memphis will now offer free tuition to the children and spouses of fallen service members, now average tuition there is 9,700 a year, the new policy would take effect this fall. it's free if you're a spouse or you're the child of a fallen hero. we like that. look at dick's sporting goods, individual stocks making moves here. rosy forecast and the stock reacted with 26% gain. the discount shoe warehouse dsw did not give rosy forecast and it's being punished, down 9%. the fbi telling us to reset routers, they discovered a malicious software attack, officials now say that the best way to fort it, turn your router off and turn it back on again. the attacks believed to be linked to russians. the fbi says attacks can stop router from working and collect your data. thousands of train conductors and engineers on strike this morning, they walked at the job stranding commodities t

one constantly wore the red maga hat and the other nominated the president for a nobel peace prize, andt has not fallen to their advantage, they kind of cancel each other out. you have to know the voters and the issues. neil: by the way, you could nominate me for a nobel peace prize. >> i did. neil: i didn't think so. but you know, when you think about it, you've been richly rewarded for connecting with this president, and i'm wondering if that might be a signal going forward, whether you like the president or not, that is a winning formula, not to divorce yourself, not to avoid him. >> blankenship said it was unfair advantage with the president. neil: this is blankenship's worst nightmare, the attorney general to win, these two hate each other and when morrisey was on our air, he was sidestepping this issue, if blankenship won, would he support the republican winner. i don't know, looked at weather, look at the time, he did not. >> blankenship said it was unfair for the president to taint his candicy by tweeting. that didn't help in alabama or pennsylvania. neil: was he in trouble befo

a list of recommendations of actions we could take like an assault weapons ban, limit the size of maga zeens, closing loopholes, more investments in mental health and funding evidenced-based policies that reduce crime. untornl no action has been taken on this list of initiatives. and yet, what we have seen virtually no action even after the problem in the situation in parkland, florida. instead, we have seen calls to arm teachers, allow racial discrimination in the name of safety and equip every school with more armed police officers. hese measures have created a environment of fear and does nothing to increase school safety. we need what needs to be done. we need to equip our teachers, leaders and parents with the resources to ensure access to school-based mental health services and need to address and prevent bullying and harassment and achieve safe and welcoming learning environments for all students. comprehensive collaborative innovations will improve school climates and keep students safe. students need staff and resources to meet the mental health needs. and we need to hire soci

what is next, blue maga hats? >> nancy pelosi did use that in 2006, by the way.p. maybe next year we'll hear chuck and nancy say, build the wall. funny stuff. keep the email coming and tweets and whatnot. we read them all day long. ainsley: it was nancy pelosi's slogan in 2006? >> when she was working to be speakser. brian: we work over a wide shot from ted, thanks, ted, there is crowd funding for the wall. more people written us, why don't we do a way to finance the wall on our own? so crowd funding starts. congresswoman diane black. steve: 25 billion? brian: how much do you want to bet, 25 billion? jillian: i bet you 50 cents. new threats days after the high school shooting in sante fe, texas, two students in nearby schools allegedly brought guns with them to campus on the first day after class friday's rampage. three threats were reported at other schools. governor greg abbott will hold a roundtable discussion on gun violence. >>> three men, taking less than ten minutes to escape from the orangeburg, south carolina detension center after a control board malfun

santa fe high school shooting happened, this was on friday morning, carrying a gun and wearing a trump magaank you. i'm going to head this way. god bless you all. >> so, karen, you have obviously a trump voter who felt that his -- the response that occurred to him wn a school shooting happened in his community was to sho up with his gun and make america great again. i'm not sure what he means by that. you're up against that in the electorate. >> well, assen educator i would say that we need real solutions not just showing up in a t-shirt. this past week i participated in a round table discussion with virginia beach school system, we had the superintendent, chief of police and we had community leaders like me, school board members, students, parents and retired police officer and an active duty military member there and we were talking about solutions and how to keep our children safe. what people need to understand is that children do not feel safe in schools and the superintendent stated statistics about, you know, the odds of this happening in their school and, you know, what staggering o
