howie: joining me, mollie hemingway, sara fischer and richard fowler. mollie, what did you think of the "times" story. mollie: i covered the russia investigation for 2 1/2 years but even in the sea of stories this one was riddled with errors. they said the uranium one story was written by them and theyer in debunked it. they said human informants were outed. it was the "new york times" and "washington post" who revealed all the information about the human informants. they lied about something devin nunes said. they said he said he was trying to buttress claims of wiretapping. they said trump's claims of wiretapping had no basis in fact. it was almost written in a panic, very sloppy. the language -- it's bad to say this about the media that they are the enemy of the people. but we need the media to stand up and do a good job. they attack not just the president, but average american citizens. howie: in a follow-up tweet the president said the writers don't even call for verification on stories that have no basis in fact. the paper said they repeatedly call

mollie hemingway. gillian turner and mo elleithee, former democratic party official and fox news contributor. mollie, two accusers are saying justin fairfax raped them in the early 2000s. do you see a difference between this coverage and the wait media handled the coverage of the brett kavanaugh hearings? mollie: this is a sad story. but from the media angle "the washington post" comes out looking very poorly. you have a person making an allegation with a specific time and date an concedes there was a sexual encounter between the two. but having said that, that's fine if they didn't run it. but then to run the brett kavanaugh allegations when there wasn't any corroboration. you didn't have the specifics of a date, location and year. it makes "the washington post" look bad and that they are willing to go with allegations for political reasons. howie: we have meredith watson. "the washington post" has been able to interview object the record friend they told about these alleged assaults in the past either

mollie hemingway is the senior editor at the federalist, susan page washington bureau chief at usa todayall of this. >> our founding fathers in their wisdom set up a federal government with three different branches that are supposed to be in contention with each other and congress in recent decades has heeded so much authority to the executive branch, so it's not a bad thing to reassert congress' authority and to retain that power of the person they have accorded to our constitution. the problem for them is that the only time they are doing it, they have let the bureaucracy grow so large, the only time they are doing it this was is t comes to securing our border. it's the same provision that allows donald trump to declare the emergency allows them to overturn it with a vote. >> republicans in the senate are counting heads, they have lost three, they can't afford to lose one more. the president has already said he is going to veto it if it comes to his desk so they would need two-thirds to overturn mat matt. >> they won't have two-thirds probably in either chamber to override a veto but i

here to react, fox news contributor, federalist senior editor mollie hemingway.e argued in favor of letting children who survive abortions die. he is also for the radical late-term abortion bill. that is pediatrician. that is probably a bigger medical concern. brian: it should be but is it? >> his options, he could stay i think, half of democrats in a poll still support him. yes, all the leaders of the democratic party called for him to step down but he is actually, he could hold on. steve: because i says that is it not me in the picture even though he said on friday not, i apologize for being in the picture. speaking of pictures, we've been looking at images on southern border on the mexican side there is a processing center, there is a gate. that is where the mexican police lined up. because the worry is, as soon as thousands of migrants find out if you don't have papers we're sending you back, they are worried they will make a run for the border. >> this shows how serious after problem is and how much needs to be done to handle these migration issues. people t

jenna caldwell here, and the federalist, molly hemingway. that's what they're thinking about, right? they're thinking about 2020 and they don't want this and the governor to be an issue then, do they? >> there's another part of the story that has been left out of the coverage. all of the governor's problems began last week when he embraced this very radical late term abortion bill and seemed to argue in leaving babies to die. that's why this photo was released. apparently a medical school classmate was upset at those remarks he made. already he lost the trull of virginiians of this embrace of this radical -- even people saying pro choice that they don't think is appropriate. then this photo that is a problem. that's what everybody is focusing on. he said he wasn't in the photo or doesn't believe he was. so i don't know how easy it will be for him to get rid of him. >> neil: all the democrats have urged him to step down, but short of that, to impeach him over something that is 35 years ago, that's going to be tough, right? to make the democra

mollie hemingway is a senior editor at "the federalist," she joins us tonight.ry to get all huffy they are, you just have to think that if a story breaks, the chairman of the senate intelligence committee spent two years looking into this, there is no evidence of collusion. that's got to be front page news, and it has got to spur some sort of soul searching on the part of everyone who has been involved, but no. >> every day or every couple of days for two years we have had russia collusion's conspiracy spread and pushed by compliant people in the media. no matter how small an item was, it was pushed as evidence of grand conspiracy. if any of the senate intel committee coming out and saying what the house until committee already said, there is no evidence of collusion. there is no evidence of this thing that sidelined an incoming administration, took the attorney general out of commission until he was finally let go. all of this hysteria, and we're not even going to cover it? not even going to mention it after pushing the story for several years? is one thing for

jonathan swann the national political reporter and mollie hemingway the senior editor at the federalisty writer for the "washington examiner" ." what are your thoughts? >> donald trump certainly does not need to make north koreans abuse the centerpiece of his messaging, neither does he need to speak on behalf of or defend the regime leader in this horrible case of otto warmbier's death. the same time neither do critics need to make this the talking point of the post summit analysis. there is a lot of good that came from this summit as winston churchill likes to say, meeting jaw to job is better than war. this was an important thing. there was a lot to focus on in terms of the positives compared to where we were a couple of years ago. >> bret: the walk away, the administration i get these hands felt pretty good saying this was not the deal that we wanted to take. >> there are certainly people like john bolton, the five president mike pounds and some hawkish senators like marco rubio, they are much happier than with this outcome that ideal that may have not been worth it. the retell for m

mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist."ics editor at national journal. jonah, thoughts. >> by any normal beltway standards it's not a great triumph for donald trump. it's less money than he was going to get if he didn't shutdown the government the first time. i think he has probably no choice in deciding it because either you get a shutdown if you try to go the continuing resolution amount, it's even less money. i think he signs it and then i would suspect either he declares an emergency or starts moving money around and creates a new fight. if he declares emergency, the courts most of it but he gets to say that i tried. that would be a political one for him but it's not a great deal. >> i think it's a genuine compromise bill. each side gets a little bit of what they want. the problem is it's a compromise between people who actually wanted to sling about border security and people who want to do nothing. there are political winds. donald trump needed money for the wall, the barrier. he gets that. he also gets to keep using

mollie hemingway.'s begin with the reaction to the biggest worry of the wake of course, the smollett saga. here is maxwell from msnbc patting herself on the back for believing jussie. >> the point folks are sagging, you should be stupid for believing him or sometimes you jump to conclusion, which is not what is happening. i feel bad for the people who did not go to that empathy and thinks this is a game and floating loading today. they have something fundamentally wrong with them. >> laura: i would talk to mike i just want to point out, mollie this was after he was charged. >> mollie: you should absolutely be empathetic towards victims. but reporters have obligation to be skeptical and the old adage if your mother says she loves shoot my check it out. in this case, there were many reasons why the story should not have been bullied from the outset and no evidence to support it. so this is just journalism. >> laura: where you amazed how quickly the response became? >> yes, if what he did he did is despic

mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist" and charles lane, opinion writer for "the washingtonrect foreign policy effort on venezuela, but there is a broader theme here. >> that's right. at the moment where democrats and a lot of younger voters are reconsidering how they feel about socialism and his socialism okay, that at the very moment where some prominent democrats, including the second place furniture in 2016 for the democrats, bernie sanders, embraces a label, this is very good for the president to be able to say, this is what socialism looks like. this is if you go to another country and see it in practice, what is being described, this is what it is. it's very much on brand and very useful and a good thing to talk about. >> bret: chuck? >> a lot of democrats actually support president trump on policy toward venezuela. it is true there's been a lot of attention on the usual alexanda because the art cortez because she doesn't but the local delegation from florida, donna shalala, debbie wasserman schultz, and a number of others in the senate and house, for a rare occasion
