james patterson, well known author, on our show yesterday.the afternoon, talking about that. what he reported was that they went to the manager at mar-a-lago. he took care of this. that is one donald trump, then a private citizen, told him to leave. >> that's right. patterson is the best-selling author in the world. i wish i were, but he is. he has got some credibility. he wrote a book about all this, which i imagine is going to start going off the shelves, but yes, this president did that. good for the president. we are going to see the singeing and burning of a lot of people. i expect most of them democrats. we are going to see it manifest at some point. all the people on those planes, it is just horrible and ugly. it is just so ugly. and in this day of #metoo that this could be covered up by political allies when you're talking about young girls, 13, 14, 15 years old, there will be a price to pay. the public will want some serious vengeance. >> bill: based on that answer, you believe we are in the early stages of the story. >> i am sure th

something that james patterson, the noted author, told our dana perino on wednesday afternoon. here's the president. >> jeffrey epstein was not somebody that i respected. i threw him out. in fact, i think the great james patterson, a member of mar-a-lago, made a statement yesterday that many years ago i threw him out. i'm not a fan of jeffrey epstein. >> all right, so, alex acosta is gone as a result of epstein. we also know that bill clinton was a close associate of jeffrey epstein, who on his private jet a number of times. and then in 2011 the manhattan district attorney's office, cy vance, democrat come in 2011 asked for jeffrey epstein's sex offender status to be reduced to the lowest possible. so there's still a lot of questions, harris, to be asked and answered about jeffrey epstein and his connections to rich, powerful people and people in the legal world. >> harris: i saw you kind of go back and forth there. it does get confusing. convicted predator, accused trafficker, all of it bad. >> well, he's accused again of being a sexual predator. >> harris: john roberts, thank

all they say is read the james patterson fictionalized version of the sex scandal. i never liked him and i and did the make acosta go. what is happening, joyce? >> trump just doesn't seem to understand that justice isn't just another deal. and this is so lard i think to watch as a prosecutor knowing that when you enter into a plea agreement in a case, you have equity that's you have to be aware of. you have a community. you have victims. you have the courts and you're trying to do the right thing. you're not just delivering a deal. the president apparently views this as purely transactional. it's an old deal. without any concern for the victims that were left behind when this happened. and the notion that acosta is leaving without any conversation about the victims and about what this means for women in the era of me too is i just think tonedeton tonedeaf completely. >> and for acosta to walk out the door without cleaning up any of the damage of his own reputation, frank, is stunning to me as a person who handled former communications for high government-level offic

steve patterson has the disturbing video. >> what started a as an awe inspiring encounter turned to his or her roar. a close look at the massive bull bison suddenly it charge, plowing into a 9-year-old girl, launching her several feet into the air. is the shocking video taken where wild bison graze in clusters. >> they can move quick and they can get bothered in the moments notice. >> the girl rushed to a nearby clinic. although biasic attacks are rare it is not the first time tourists have gotten too close. rangers say stay at least 75 feet away from animals like bison or moose and more than 300 feet from bear os wolves. >> they are wild animals and they are huge they can kill you. >> reporter: according to pare standing just feet from bison before it started charging. >> getting close is not a good idea. everybody likes that great photo but safety needs to come first. >> reporter: park offir not decided to issue citations to the girl's family and as of now the incident remains under investigation. >> hopefully lesson learned. thanks >>> up next ceo on a mission to stop lunch shaving b
