in a period, we do see that as michael roberts pointed out a long time ago, that weapons are one of themost important factors and bringing about a remarkable transformation of the european state system. could you advanced the slide there? actually, go past that. there we go, okay. the very first gunpowder weapons to be used in combat in the west are not small arms, they are not individual or personal weapons. they are really large weapons. they are large artillery pieces used for bombards. if you've ever been to edinburgh castle in scotland, you will see one of the few surviving bombards. it's massive in caliber, they are not particularly sophisticated weapons, especially those that were built before casting iron or bronze at this scale. they burst easily, they are not very accurate. they are relatively limited in range. but they are perfectly suited for bashing down castles. that's exactly what bombards or for. the popularity of the bombard in late medieval europe helps to tip the political balance away from the landed warrior aristocracy and towards a more restricted number of greater

roberts michael . he voices triumph the insult comic dog. police say this makes them look bad, especially since they asked the comedy team to leave earlier. but capitol police say they respect the move to drop the charges. a police source tells fox they feel under find and this does not help the police secure the capital after the riots. >> all right, chad, thank you as always. joining us now, author of the brand new book suppression, deception, snobbery and bias, fox news contributor ari fleischer, along with outnumbered co-host kelly mccann and kelly wallace, who is the kayleigh mcenany nine , which, by the way, would be pretty fun, or the ari fleischer nine or the hannity nine . >> would we get the same treatment? of course we would end. there's one standard for democrats. there's another for republicans. you look you see it all the time in the press with coverage of president trump, for instance, in the act of violence. i was asked about over and over even if it had no ties whatsoever to our party. you look at the left, they can go out i

joining me now is michael steele, former chairman of the rnc and host of the michael steele podcast and robertblic religion institute. author of "white too long." i'm going to read you to you. you wrote this about the curious history of judeo christian can teach us about defeating white christian nationalists today. only 30% of americans agree that god intended america to be a new promise land where european christians could have a society that could be an example to the rest of the world, that number rises to dangerous levels including majorities of republicans, 53% and 52% white protestants. they are four times as likely to disagree that true americans may have to resort to violence to save the country. how do we get out of it if the republican party is completely overtaken by this? >> well, the first thing i should say, i think it's very important that you've included the words white christian nationalism altogether. the three interlocking pieces is the threat before us. somebody who studied this movement, somebody who grew up myself white and christian in the deep south as part of the evan

good cop/bad cop pattern is not new, it's something we saw in special counsel robert mueller's investigation where michael cohen, for example, the same thing. grooming messages beforehand that absolutely slammed afterwards. when the most powerful individuals reach out to you, and make no mistake, no wonder this person was alarmed, a call from an ex-president? when that kind of a person raises out with the megaphone and the allies to attack if you break with them, it sets up a pattern and that raises very serious issues that are undoubtedly being investigated which the department of justice under the federal witness tampering statute. >> norm, this white house support staff member did not pick up the phone, did not hear whatever it was that the president -- former president was calling for. what's the relevance of that? >> well, john, if this were a one-time isolated incident the relevance would be you really don't have enough to make a case, but it's not a one-time incident, it's a recurring pattern. now, the justice department is going to need even more than what we already know about to make a case, but

robert mueller's investigation. trump famously dangled pardons in front of michael flynn, paul manafort, in an effort to stop them from cooperating with the mueller investigation. andrew weissmann was one of the senior prosecutors on the robert mueller team at the time. he wrote in his book, quote, we were watching the president mirror the behavior of criminals -- not just by prioritizing loyalty to him personally over loyalty to the law, but by dangling certain rewards and punishments to backup such demands. mobsters use the threat of whacking potential cooperators to keep everyone in line. the president had the power to pardon, to reward those who stayed loyal. and here's the thing. when andrew weisman talks about mob like behavior, he knows of what he speaks. the federal prosecutor, who led the case, against vincent vinny the chin gigante, all those years ago, was none other than andrew weissmann. so, when we start to grapple with what looks like yet another instance of potential trump world witness tampering, there is only one person who has the kind of unique experience to tell us how we should be thinking about

popularity because that's what the special counsel robert mueller used two sort of work his way up the chain of trump associates. paul manafort, michael flynn, george poppel up -- george papadopoulos were all charged with violations and it was used to get them to cooperate to build their case. the other possibility is a possible money laundering case. by that, it's possible that hunter biden had set up several u.s. entities which the money from the foreign entities would come in and it would be used to obscure where it came from and it would help and not be able to report that on his taxes. that's another avenue prosecutors are looking into. there is for avenues that we are aware of where this case could go. the prosecutors i have talked to said they think if there is a guilty plea, and they think that's the most likely outcome, it would probably be in the tax case because that's the easiest one to prove and it would carry the strictest -- it would carry the biggest sentence you could make in a case that you went after hunter biden for something which would give -- get a lot of pressure off of attorney general merrick garland. he is f

michael: i think the bigger -- tom: the bigger issue is guidance from corporations. robert scheffler writing for bloomberg intelligence makes it clear he thinks big tech has a quality stream. we need to get nuanced guidance. it helps corporations to be clearer this time around than normal. jonathan: lisa, you've been missed. let's put the two stories together. the work of mike wilson and the team at morgan stanley. big numbers in that report. lisa: basically saying the move we have seen in the dollar, the strengthening of north of 10% or 11% is commensurate with a much bigger decline in earnings-per-share than people are pricing in. we hear companies worry about the strong dollar and what the follow-through effects will be. how much do we see that they can to estimates in a way that surprises to the downside? jonathan: to conclude sing the recent rally is likely to fizzle out. enjoy your sunday. earnings is the great divide between the bulls and the bears. it comes down to that. lisa: it is not just the bulls in the bears on the macro side, but the bulls in the corporate sp

[ laughter ] he said, "yep" and "nope." yep. >> we got a couple of paragraphs from him. you know, i don't -- i'm not sure because i've interviewed him a bunch of times, and honestly -- well, he was on "the today show" a couple of weeks ago talking about the tribeca film festival. and here's hoda and here's savanna and they're saying, "bob, bob, bob, ask jane ask jane ask jane writes for who runs it with him. and so, i do all this homework i do all this stuff. and i just say, "please, please, talk to me." and i got lucky. >> jimmy: yeah, you've been doing this for 50 years. is that true almost 50 years? >> so, i graduated college in 1973. i went to central college in iowa to play football. but i messed around with a a college radio station, and i got a job doing color commentary on girls' high school basketball games at the local radio station, daytime station. and those local veterinarian and i would take his pickup out to see these girl high sc

these very important issues we are going to hear from administrator michael regan in a little while. now here from the honorable roberttos of the united states census bureau and let me say this about the census bureau, we have been engaged in the 2020 census, the 2010 census at the national urban league, the 1990 census as an elected official in trying to ensure a complete, full, and accurate count. robert santos, director of the census bureau shares our concerns, our thoughts and our goals about how you ensure that the census is far better, the 2020 census left many black and brown people uncounted. almost 10%. in some instances, in our opinion, it was deliberate by the prior administration to such an extent we had to file a suit and get a temporary restraining order to keep them from shutting the census counting down early. ladies and gentlemen, very proud the director of the us census bureau is here to address these and other issues. he is doctor robert santos. >> good morning, everyone. i just came from austin, texas. i lived there for a while and then came over to take this new role to serve our country and see w
