the guy who wrote that is the guy who shot steve scalise. words matter jeff says and these other folks are saying. if words matter, they are saying that msnbc who are anti-trump are responsible for the steve scalise shooting. that's very, very dangerous. what is really bad about this, god forbid that something happens to the president or sarah sanders or a member of this administration. this kind of argument will whirl around in a heart beat and fingers will be pointed at cnn or msnbc to lay the responsibility on them. that's wrong. >> laura: it's an attempt to stop speech. i think more speech is better. when everybody is hitler, nobody is hitler. when you want physical harm to happen to someone, whatever mailed these things, whether they wanted to them to go off or not, this is an evil intent. we know that. >> that's right. >> laura: unless you say go hit them, it's a very dangerous territory people are walking into it. jeff, you touched on this. listen to what cnn's john king said today. >> no one is blaming the president. the president wa

like steve scalise? wouldn't happen to, if something happened to the president, would you then connect those claims of hitlerism to the assassination attempt? would you do it both ways? >> are you suggesting that steve scalise was shot because of democratic rhetoric? is that what you're saying? . >> laura: the president has repeatedly been called pol pot, stalin, hitler, pretty much every dictator rolled into one on a continual loop of the main street media. of which james hodgkinson dee vourd on a daily base else. i agree you can't do that. you want to do it one way but not the other way, which is convenient, which is what the angle was about. >> how did republicans talk about obama? did they not say he was a dictator? >> if you said that it's idiotic. people say idiotic things. the left used to be about free speech. the left now is about college speech code and circumscribing speech. less speech or more speech? by the way i defended your former boss, when they tried to throw him out i was one of the fe

representatives steve scalise ss op-ed.nce and terror have no place in politics in our society. s,it's a shame that he's even having to write this now, that this is going on. you and i have been saying for how long, this is going to happen again, this is got to stop. everybody just has to call a timeout on this horrible, horrible language. eric holder, i know that man, and for him to say kick them when they are down, it's disgusting. it doesn't matter what side is coming from. it just has to stop on all sides. someone is going to get hurt.s >> sean: i look at, for example, russian collusion. you know what? there is no trump-russia collusion but hillary did pay for russian lies that was used to disseminate lies to the american people, it was used as a fisa warrants and commit a fraud on the court. a media leak scandal, the special counsel robert mueller. nobody wanted to talk about that. the left only cares about assaults sexually when it's kavanaugh but not bill clinton, cory booker, the allegations made against him. the sa

congressman scalise, we would like to have you back on this issue. after he called himself a nationalist, president trump is getting slammed all across the board. guess what? they arere playing the race car xenophobia. will tell you why, when we comees back and neither will i. and i treat my mbc with new everyday verzenio- the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. in fact, verzenio is a cdk4 & 6 inhibitor for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer, approved, with hormonal therapy, as an everyday treatment for a relentless disease. verzenio + an ai is proven to help women have significantly more time without disease progression, and more than half of women saw their tumors shrink vs an ai. diarrhea is common, may be severe, and may cause dehydration or infection. before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. serious liver problems can occur. symptoms may include

having to fight their way back, with leadership from kevin mccarthy and steve scalise and others and a lot of fund-raising by paul ryan, they are within fighting distance, and i told people, it's probably somewhere between 229 republican in which case we're a majority and worst case 204. mark: what is the majority? >> 218. mark: 218. >> we currently are at 241. mark: you are fairly optimistic? >> very optimistic in the senate and pretty optimistic overall, and we still have ten days to get to the election, and in 2016, we actually got stronger every single day. mark: well, the early numbers, and they're that, from nbc among others, looking at a number of these state, and the than nevada, some of these other states, georgia, florida, texas, montana, early voting

plus steve scalise, tom homan, corey lewandowsky, all here. but first, leftist aiding and abetting an invasion. that's the focus of tonight's angle. if you have been watching other networks, which of course you shouldn't be, well you're likely to have a very distorted view of reality when it comes to the caravan of thousands making their way to the us border. the sympathetic over rot over of this horde, calling it ale caravan is a miss gnomer and frankly sickening. the networks have dispatched teams of embedded reporters, in quotes, who are not so much covering the horde as covering for it. you see trucks full of freshly cooked or at this as and ib credible sort of christian gestures of welcoming a stranger. >> as a nation in the united states we have to choose what kind of nation we are and treat them with respect. >> ginning up fear of the stranger is a fact as old as politics. that's what makes the teachings of christ to welcome the stranger so radical. >> laura: who died and turned him into joel olstein? any way their biggest gripe is the

members of congress were shot during baseball practice almost -- we almost lost house leader steve scalise. now we have these bombs sent to all these prominent democrats as well as john brennan, care of cnn. are you concerned about any threats against you or your colleagues right now? do you feel safe? >> well, i'm absolutely concerned. most of us received threats of various kinds along the way, but in this case, where you have the president saying that eric holder better be careful, calling maxine waters corrupt and saying she better be careful, saying that cnn has to be taken out of business, those are the sorts of words that may resonate with an individual who takes them in a manner that the

bernie sanders had a fan who shot a very good friend of ours, steve scalise. and other people. he was a total maniac. nobody puts his name in the headline, bernie sanders, in the headline. >> laura: nancy pelosi said do not politicize this back at the

let's look at scalise.ismissed as a wacko, so there should be no tie to you. but the man who shot scalise should be tied to bernie sanders even though that shooter sizes up very similarly to the profile of a deranged man as does the bomber. hypocritical. but the bigger point is trump does not size up well against bernie in this situation. bernie never told his supporters to treat opponents as the enemy and that it was okay to see them as bad people, as evil, and constantly bathing them in talk of violence as righteous retribution the way the president does. and the best proof came just tonight. after the arrest of one of his base and his saying that america must unify and that he had taken down his tone, he had not a world about his role in all of this. nt a word about what he would do to help unify. and as for taking down his tone -- >> the media has a major role to play whether they want to or not.

majority whip steve scalise. i didn't blame bernie sanders. bernie sanders didn't tell that evil maniac to kill republicans. >> i'm not blaming bernie sanders. this is one nut. the one that targeted republicans at baseball practice leaving congressman steve scalise fighting for his life. was the media blaming democrats for that? no. and i don't believe they should have either. they are not supposed to be marching orders for deranged individuals. when we rightly call out and expose the left for their hypocrisy or deep state corruption or the fake news media for reporting fake news that is not insighting violence. this is about going to the ballot box. i didn't love it that obama won twice. but america goes on and i said many times during his presidency we've got to protect our president.to now the same goes for anyone in the mainstream media including those who trash trump supporters or who bash conservatives day after day night after night 24/7. there is hardly a word in the that is not negative that i have not been called or used against the

but let's be realistic, let's state the obvious, last year, a republican congressman steve scalise was shot by somebody from the left politically. everybody i just mentioned that's been targeted in this incident has been singled out by the president or his defenders and it's prompted some conspiracy theories in our echo chamber. a lot of people blame in current president for the political divide. at times he's cheered political acts of violence. i it all put him in an awkward spot today with a plea for unity. >> i just want to tell you that in these times we have to unify, we have to come together. and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the united states of america. [ applause ] >> he's going to do a political rally tonight, we'll obviously check out the tone for that. we have all the angles of this breaking news story covered. jim cavanaugh is an msnbc contributor, former special agent, and clint vanzant is an msnbc contributor and former fbi profiler. who's taking the lead on this investigation, is

okay to body slam steve scalise. nobody ever said that. so this idea that both sides do it, which is something that people who are not conspiracy theorists, just regular trauchl apologists are engaging in this what aboutism, this both siderism, that's all bull. this is being done by one side in this country. >> thanks to both of you for coming in on a friday night. >>> coming up, former president barack obama was out on the campaign trail tonight. and he had a few things to get off his chest about president trump and republicans. you don't want to miss this. that's next. every tv doctor knows nothing's more important than a good bedside manner. i don't know how to say this. it's okay, doc. give it to me straight. no, you don't understand, i don't know how to say this. i'm just a tv doctor. they also know you should get your annual check-up. it could save your life. schedule a check-up with your doctor, know your four health numbers, and start taking control of your health today. cigna. together, all the way. the full

i mean, what happened to steve scalise is terrible. if person, if he had not been shot and killed, should have been apprehended, punished and put away. there are huge differences between these instances. first off, steve scalise was not being taunted by nancy pelosi every time -- in front of a television. no democrat in any way ever challenged the legitimacy of it wchlt edidn't say, oh, well, the bullet didn't kill him so what's the big deal or i bet the republicans staged this and shot themselves for sympathy. we never did that. we would never do that. that is not who we are. and that is the difference here. you and i probably spend too much time reading conspiracy theories. the bombs didn't go off, so what's the big deal. george soros sent it to himself. how would a republican even have the addresses of these people? >> they were mainstream figures, lou dobbs comes to mind. >> lush limbaugh, ann coulter. >> the stickers weren't sun faded enough to actually be there and the president putting bombs in quotes, they are basically false s

we saw what happened with steve scalise.nd to see eric holder and hillary clinton and cory booker and maxine waters encouraging this type of behavior is leading to an escalation and it could get even more dangerous. we need to make sure we are calling this out. democrat leaders don't seem to be refuting it. but we at the rnc certainly do not want to see people create problems around democrat leaders or attack people in restaurants. we need a return to civility. ainsley: it was really shocking to see the former head of the justice department to tell the folks in the crowd to kick them. he responded to that because the media was pretty outraged about it. especially republicans. i know you were one of them saying that he shouldn't come out with that rhetoric. it's inciting violence some of the defended himself. he says okay, stop the fake outrage. i'm obviously not advocating violence. in fact, when i was the a.g. violent crime in the u.s. was historically low. i'm saying republican us are undermining our democracy and democrat

i want to take the point that steve scalise made. you listen to what the president said, he said, anybody that can do a body slam is my kind of guy. he didn't say, anybody can body slam a reporter is my kind of guy. >> but he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault for body slamming a reporter. >> i understand that. but i think the point he was making, and this is what scalise's point was, that he wasn't, you know, talking about the press. he was just making the case, hey, anybody that can pick someone up and body slam them, that's my kind of guy. >> he should have used hulk hogan. >> i think there is a distinction there that's being lost. >> so president trump was just asked minutes ago if he regretted the comments. take a listen. >> no, no. not at all. it's a different world. that was a different league, a different world. and he's a tough cookie. and i'll stay with that. >> what do you think? >> i just don't see how you can say that he wasn't specifically talking about the journalist, because the only reason he would be talking abou

you think about steve scalise one of the house g.o.p.eaders assassination attempt in recent years. political violencegainst kathy gifford? a it's out the the time. it's almost numbing in a way. >> well before this florida man had been apprehended. sarah sanders was telegraphing what the strategy would be. she said that donald trump is no mos responsible for t kind of violence than is berniesa ers. it was an avod bernie sanders supporter that took aim at that baseball game which struck steve scalise. was striking that they said that even before we knew who was part of this incident. robert: it's not just political violence. it's about fea one of those fraught debates beyond what happened this week beyond the pipe bombs is the issue of immigraon. and ashley wrote this week that the president's approach in many ways seeks to recreate the 2016 playbook that lifted mr. trump to the presidency in which cultural flash points like the ector of mass illegal immigration helped trump supporters. the president has voiced alarms of a group of 7,000 m

representative scalise said it best in his op-ed and that was beautiful, what you wrote.said "violence and terror have no place in politics, nor our society." it's a shame after what happened to him that he even asked to write that. sean, you and i have been saying for how long, this is going to happen again, it's got to stop. everyone needs to call a timeout on this horrible, horrible language. eric holder, i know that man and for him to say kick him when they are down is disgusting. it just has to stop on all sides. someone is going to get hurt. >> sean: for example, russian collusion. this is used, and -- they never wanted to talk about that. the left only cares about assault sexually when it's kavanaugh, but not keith ellison, bill clinton, cory booker or allegations for them. shouldn't the kavanaugh rule apply to everyone? shouldn't the russian collusion rule applies to everyone to? >> david? >> i agree with god and pam bondi. the problem here i see is with the left as usual, they always use these opportunities to exploit these things politically. when trump came out

if you look at what happened to steve scalise, that was a supporter from a different party.were supporters of others. >> let's take blame out of the conversation. you wrote on this issue. cesar sayoc was radicalized before trump. you are suggesting the president bears no responsibility for the tone in the country? >> that's not what i'm saying. context is important when you are dealing with anyone who is a violent person or psychotic person. just like it is wrong to point to the congressional baseball game shooter who went out and shoot at steve scalise and then say that bernie sanders, who he supported, was complicit or responsible for that behavior would be wrong. the same way it would be wrong for us to have a knee jerk reaction and say the psychotic and awful individual with a violent and criminal record and making bomb threats in 2002 when president trump castnwasn't inv in politics. that is irresponsible. >> hang on, phil. there's 14 bombs sent. all are targets of the president. whether rallies or on twitter. you must have similar language to make this both sides argum

not a whole group of republicans who have been targeted for murder. >> steve scalise was targeted for >> and almost killed. >> he's a friend of mine. >> no political leader spoke out saying let's go call steve scalise a terrible monster. it was a terrible thing that happen and every one condemned it including democrats. >> i can condemn it. >> president trump attacked eric holder and maxine waters for being party of the democratic mob that's losing it. this is what the president said recently. let's listen. >> the democrats don't like being called an angry mob but that's what they have become. when you listen to eric holder talking about kicking. >> when they go low, we kick them. >> or hillary clinton saying what she said which is what was so horrible. >> you cannot be civil. >> they just don't see it. maxine waters constantly day in and day out ranting and raving. >> you tell them they're not welcome. >> they are losing it and they shouldn't be. >> what do you think of that, you two? the president leading this on. your thoughts. >> i guess the fact that we have a rally tonight where

if you recall, the shooter and the steve scalise case he tweeted out that, the republicans are traitorsans are the television. he compared republicans to the tell van, compared donald trump to the, said republicans were the enemies she was most proud of the next to the iranians. that rhetoric does not mean she is responsible for political violence, and the problem we have in this country is that there is hatred and vitriol in our politics coming from both sides. and it none of these politicians are responsible for the acts of a crazy person who goes into tries to blow up somebody or shoot somebody. but if we are concerned that our politics is becoming so hateful that it could get somebody killed a company may be both sides should cut it out because there is enough going around on both sides. >> bret: there were calls for that, and we will see what happens at these rallies tonight. these are off-the-cuff and we will see how he addresses the issue. >> this idea, i think it was mayor de blasio or governor cuomo saying, we have to be civil. well, we cross that bridge a long time ago, we hav

steve scalise, marco rubio, mark warner that calmed the temperature down deserve second category. you argue against law enforcement winning right now. >> laura: losers of the week, we have one loser, i'm going to say andrew gillum. after saying he doesn't take anything for nothing f. of course we will get the text messages and find out that in fact he was willing to take theater tick at the time, other things, from a land developer. the fbi was posing as this land developer. matt. >> the land developer has business before the city, so it's exactly what people don't want. in these elected officials. the fact that he didn't think these texts would ever come out, they tell the real story. it's just corruption and it's going to have a big impact on the race. it already has. >> laura: andrew gillum blamed race in part for the questions about this would be bribe. >> when they're desperate they play the race card, the gender card, they play whatever card they can play when they're desperate and down. that's all he's doing. most of the people aren't buying it, period. >> david, real quick

scalise is wrong when he says there is no harassment of the reporters at the rally.ay not have been there. there are yelling at them. there were troubling incidents. but i think what we are seeing here is something deeper. the view of trump and some of his fans is it reporters are pest cany, they get flt way, they are annoying, get in the way of our agenda, so if you have to body slam a reporter, there is something that's acceptable or even comical about that, in this framing of in group and out group, something okay about it because somehow you are getting rid of that reporter and they are asking pesty questions. he was playing for laughs in the arena, right, in this. >> senator santorum, you mention this is not helpful for trump. you think republicans will pay a price in november. i don't think they will. but pitch forward la year, two, five, ten, do you worry that conservatism suffers? that you and i have harder time convincing people that are your policies are better? >> well, look, as you know, s.e.i was one of the original authors of the blue color political mo

let's look at scalise.ho did it dismissed as a wac wacko, so there should be no tie to you. but the man who shot scalise should be tied to bernie sanders even though that shooter sizes up very similarly to a deranged up. trump does not size up well against bernie in this situation. bernie never told his supporters to treat opponents as the enemy and it was okay to see them as bad people and evil and constantly blaming them the way the president does. and the best proof came just tonight. after the arrest of one of his base and his saying that america must unify and that he had taken down his tone, he had not a world about his role in all of this. not a word about what he would do to help unify. and as for taking down his tone -- >> the media has a major role to play whether they want to or not. [ audience booing ] >> bashes us, sas nothing about himself. they chant "cnn sucks," he says nothing. just after -- just the same way as after the saudis killed the journalist, trump says, oh, it's wrong to do that.

t there was violence with steve scalise and kathy give forfford. guess my question is where does it start? where does it end? >> we have 242 years under our belt. i believe where ever it is that we are that we can right the ship. i think it requires leadership. i think it requires, for example, the four leaders in the house and the senate to come together and issue a joint statement about what this republic means. it requires a president of the united states who though he's demonstrated that he's not been willing to do that, to do some self-reflection and acknowledgement that all of our voices have contributed to the current environment. i think real leadership demands that. if the president won't do it then we're going to have to rely on the leaders in congress to do exactly that. >> what is first step to calming things down? >> you know, honestly, i'm not sure it's going to be calmed down. we're a 50/50 nation. both sides have decided the best way to get their people to the polls is to get them mad at the other side. as long as we don't have a un

before steve scalise was shot on may 7th,- ed: 2017.e: if a bill passed and became law obama repeal bill thousands of americans will die. i will repeat bernie sanders not responsible for that shooting just like president trump isn't for this one. yet, time and time again point back to him saying this is a special and unique thing. they also obsess over the political affiliation of this idiot as opposed to the political affiliation of others who have targeted others. rachel: in connection with bernie sanders if you want to draw parallels and connections, this is somebody who worked for bernie sanders, was a volunteer for bernie sanders versus somebody who we know is clearly a lunatic. i would say that this is not just an attack on donald trump, that the media is that you can see from montage, this is an attack, continuation of an attack on his supporters, sexist, misoggist, terrorist sympathizers. pete: they're violent. rachel: what's interesting to me as a mom i'm afraid when my kids want to wear a maga hat out in public go to the airpo

steve scalise, that was an active horror.ou have to admit they went into a pizza parlor in washington. >> dana: you have brought this up every time. the pizza parlor thing. can i say? >> juan: what about charlottesville? did they run over someone at charlottesville? >> dana: i think charlottesville -- >> greg: let me finish. when it comes to republicans can we have to be honest. it's a bug in the system. when it comes to the left, it's the system. you've had the weather underground, sla, black panthers, manson family, antifa. republicans have nothing like that. >> juan: you have white nationalists. >> greg: the opposite of white nationalists. [all speaking] >> jesse: jedediah, what do you think? >> jedidiah: you both gave holder the benefit of the doubt and that's great and i probably would too. but he wouldn't give you -- if one of you said that, forget it. i think this all started with the refusal to accept that trump had won. started with that and people on the left side you know what, this was not a proper election. they

sanders reporter the one that targeted republicans a baseball practice leaving congressman steve scalise fighting for his life? was the media blaming democrats for that? no. and by the way, they shouldn't have and i don't blame bernie either. >> sean: nobody should have blamed bernie. political disagreements, even political battle in back-and-forth, they are not supposed to be marching orders for deranged individuals. president trump, that shall come out when we rightly call out and expose the left for the hypocrisy, and we will do more of it in a minute, or deep state corruption or the fake news media for reporting fake news almost every night, that's not inciting violence, i'm saying just the opposite. this is about going to the ballot box. that's where we settle our political differences. i didn't love it that obama won twice, i didn't like it at all but america goes on and i said many times during his presidency we've got to protect our president. the same goes for anyone in the mainstream media, including those who trashed from supporters or who bashed conservatives day after day, n

republican congressman steve scalise tweeting this. president trump was clearly ribbing the congressman for the incident. scalise went on to say it clearly was a joke, in his words, but the incident was no joke. it actually resulted in an actual assault charge and to remind you, this is audio of that assault in may of last year. >> yeah, but there's not going to be time. >> okay, speak with shane, please. >> just -- >> i'm sick and tired of you guys. the last guy that came in here did the same thing. get the hell out of here. >> you just broke my glasses. >> now, gianforte was sentenced to 40 hours of community service, 20 hours of anger management, $300 fine. if this was just a joke, what then is all of this from trump, from the campaign and beyond? >> knock the crap out of them, would you. seriously. okay? just knock the hell -- i promise you, i will pay for the legal fees. i promise. i love the old days. you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? they'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks.

the other one was "steve scalise revoking congressman shot."dn't say anything about him being a bernie sanders volunteer. i don't think it's bernie sanders 'a small but this is why president is out on his twitter. that's why he holds political rally sprayed is not just fighting the democrats, he's fighting the media who have aligned themselves with the democrats to fight against them. to be clear, where two weeks out from. he's not just fighting for his policies to win so that he can move -- he's fighting for his life. they have already said, "we are going to impeach you. we want to --" >> harris: maybe not his life. his political life. and >> rachel: the media has to look at themselves. with a fitness curmudgeon coming forward saying yes, you should take the lead, where are the other people on the other side condemning the media and the democrats for targeting trump? i don't see it. >> harris: kennedy, let me ask you this question. saturday night, you mentioned that interfaith gathering that you are going to, melissa -- i thought saturday nigh

i'm joined by steve scalise. i know on any of these occasions, you have to look at the bright side. i know that you have a bright side. there's a lot of them. the house republicans have fulfilled a lot of their campaign promises. president trump has given you all the leeway to do what you feel needs to be done for the country. some things get caught up in the senate. now you have this cavanaugh nomination. i wonder if you think that will be a good thing and a help to house republicans or fit could turn enthaou kwraftic turnout for democrats on the other side. >> welsh dana, i think the most important thing that we can be doing to fight to keep the majority is to remind people how well the economy is doing and why. obviously, the tax cuts have gotten the economy going, to a point where we've seen record growth in our jobs. you're seeing low unemployment in every spectrum, by the way. it's literally every spectrum of our economy is doing better. >> dana: optimism being way up there. yet there still looks like there is the nrcc pulling back some money. obviously, that's normal. you're

>> emily: epic is a shame and, frankly, a tragedy that we have steve scalise being the one on twitterand nearly killed. i think it's a total omarosa location to blame the president for these kinds of acts of violence. the fact that we have to discuss whether someone is going to get hurt again, when every week, literally, a candidate is being assaulted physically or stabbed or accosted at a restaurant. which, by the way, the restaurant patrons can just friends. they ended up -- after that guy slammed his fist down, they came to his defense. i think there's levels public fatigue that, when those on the left are calling for it publicly, to get up in their face and show them your discord, that we are tired of it. because we don't want to see this happening. don't want to see that level of violence be normalized. >> harris: and the candidates themselves, some of them are saying that this is endangering everybody. a couple weeks ago. the same sort of thing. circling until you saw his competitor beto o'rourke issue a statement, the democrat in that party. which makes interesting dialogue. ca

we said how wrong it was, we prayed and pulled for steve scalise. he recovered. we called out the man who did it, as a deranged individual who deserved no attention. it was different -- >> the difference is, you blamed the individual who engaged in the conduct rather than the political figure they follow. your network all day has drawn the links that these people who were targeted are frequent critics of the president. that's a reasonable inference. that doesn't mean the president is responsible for the conduct. i think that's where you -- when you criticize the things he says and the way he says them, at times you have to understand there's an authenticity to president trump that the american people crave and desire. and he is a show man, there are times when he should not be taken quite so literally. that's why he gets tens of thousands of people to show up to his rallies, tens of thousands of people are not showing up to see mike pence, they're showing up to see donald trump. because there's an entertainment factor he brings. that's been helpful for him to win

we've seen people say that steve scalise was complicit in his own attempted assassination. my wife received a text message of a graphic beheading. we now have people public officials saying you have a right and should be uncivil to each other. a call for incivility. you have others saying michelle obama may have said when they go low, we go high. but i'm saying when we go low, we kick back -- when they go low, we kick back. this is not who we are as a country. we have our political disagreements and we should cherish the rights to express our disagreements. but when it comes to calls for violence and attempted murder and assassinations, this country has gone too far and it is time we step back from that brink. my colleague, michael bennett and i were sent here to work together. we have our disagreements, but we have always fought for the best of our state. and i hope that every colleague here will do the same. and i hope the american people can be proud of the fact that while we disagree, we will not let incivility prevail. >> [inaudible]. >> well, i think republicans need

absolutely i think that what happened to steve scalise and the republicans last year on the baseball field is disgusting. i they idea that susan collins is getting death threats is disgusting, and ricin to the pentagon is disgusting, and packages soent to the president and wife and sons are disgusting, but we have to be extremely aware of when this started. i mean, there has always been an undercurrent, yes, but we have never had a politician who has been so explicit about his desire to see his political opponents suffer. i mean, really suffer. on the campaign trail, when protesters interrupted his rallies, he encouraged people to assault the protesters. i will pay your legal fees. i have never been to a political rally or any rally where somebody is punched in the face and a crowd cheered, and that happened in his rallies, and they were violent affairs and scary affairs at times. there was riot police out soosif them. he talked about hillary clinton on the campaign trail and he said that i hope that the second amendment people deal with her or something to that effect. and "locker u

you see that steve scalise was shot at a ball field last year. we will look at what's being done toer protect f workers and the thing you should know if you're posting any kind of political message. >>> up next,pehe sus and jurors were brought to tears. >>> you made the long flight to the airport. yoorre waiting your ride to get home but it is getting a get home but it is getting a little harder to in thei'm tim kaine.ked to keep all virginians safe. i helped lead efforts to grow our navy to 355 ships and increased troop pay. but corey stewart said this about that budget bill... stewart: it's just an absolute nightmare and a disaster. i wish the presint had vetoed it. that would hurt virginia and threaten our security. i approve this message because keeping america safe has to be a top priority. i'm jennifer wexton, and i approve this message. seen barbara comstock's fake ad? jennifer wexton backed a deal leading to massive tolls on 66. nonsense. jennifer wexton fought the tolls on 66. and let's call this plan what iis, the way that it's been rol

ainsley: we saw what happened to steve scalise where he was shot. we saw what happened to you and your family in the restaurant. we have maxine waters that is calling for people to get into the face of folks in the administration they don't agree with. hillary clinton says we won't be civil until democrats are in power. not just saying it is democrats but it is on both sides but is this a good reminder to us we all need to take a step back? we can disagree about politics, but is this pretty scary to you, we're seeing more and more violence and threats? >> absolutely. as the president said yesterday, political violence has no place in our country, and it is certainly something that we won't tolerate, we won't stand for. we'll continue to condemn it. we'll provide every resource possible that the federal government has not only to prevent and stop these types of incidents but also get to the bottom of who is truly responsible for this. that is the person who sent the suspicious packages and we're going to continue to do all we can to help support law

. >> a left-wing editors slammed saying seat steve scalise deserves a darwin award for being shot, theolic words given to people who supposedly contribute to evolution hurting themselves in ironic ways. ranting after the house majority whip supported brett kavanaugh saying the gun policy scalise back contributed to him being shot last year. why do i care about some guy grazed by a bullet who allows children to die because of his dominant extremist policies? still works for the raw story by the way. the high school at the center of the football halftime performance we told you about featuring guns pointed at police giving an update today. the high school in mississippi apologizing after sparking outrage nationwide, the show was based on a movie and the band director is on paid leave, this is after two local police officers were gunned down in the line of duty last month. foxbusiness alert, google plus shutdown after private information of hundreds of thousands of people is exposed. tracy carrasco explains why it took so long to expose the breach and how do we know if we were impacted? >

congressman steve scalise wrote an op ed, titles it this, republicans keep getting violently attackedmocrats should condemn this. one quote in the column says this. as we continue to hear new reports of violence being committed against republicans, simply because of political views, it is clear that the most radical elements of the democratic party are taking over earlier today i spoke with texas congressman roger williams. he said violence from the left needs to stop. >> as for somebody like scalise and myself that have actually been through this and had wounds from this gunman, i mean, it needs to stop and i think they're just inciting folks and it's wrong and it's getting into all political behavior right now. no one is safe to go anywhere and it's wrong and, frankly, the democrats need to stop the rhetoric. maria: they can't accept the facts that the economy is doing better under president trump. come on, give me a break. we see the numbers. and so what are they doing? they're acting out. no civility whatsoever. >> let me just say, this is so much politics as we approach the midte

and communities and what we're saying here today. >> 100% it starts in the home, but congressman scalisei think should go to the white house and say, hello, mr. president, read this, sir. joel, you worked for hillary clinton. i want to listen to what she said earlier this week. >> you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. that's why i believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the house and/or the senate, that's when civility can start again. but until then the only thing the republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. >> what is she advocating for here clearly? how are you interpreting this? >> i sbempt her advocating for whatever he advocates for, which is to resist, resist peacefully, but to resist and not just quietly go into the night as republicans rip down the progress that the democrats have made. you know what's frustrating i think for a lot of americans is the mixing of the two parties. so you take, you know, the general mr. wagner said, and eric holder, you mush them together and make the same story

lawrence jones, have they forgotten what happened to steve scalise? how did it get here? college campuses that we report on. they don't care. they call for civility when donald trump got elected, they wanted a more civil president but when there's a viewpoint they don't like, they want to fight him and that is in the same. part of the reason for this is no charges are brought against these people. it is not protected free speech but incitement of violence not protected by the constitution and no one really does anything. rob: what happened, they will say it is all the same problem and i think it is a bipartisan problem and rhetoric as these elections have become more crucial and more anger, the talk coming out of politicians in washington is so nematic it creates the situation. >> what happened in charlottesville, these were hateful people, people associated with the republican party. this is a fringe group. these are actual leaders in the democratic party calling for violence. i got to say they never do the violence themselves. they call their supporters to do it so not

i think some sen trirnts that spoke up, steve scalise, marco rubio, calmed things down.u argue against law enforcement winning this. >> laura: fantastic. losers of the week, we have one loser, i'm going to say andrew gilliam. after saying she doesn't take anything for money, we get the text messages, in fact he was willing to take theater tickets, other fringes, from a land developer, the fbi was posing as a land developer. matt? >> and the land developer has business before the city, it's exactly what people don't want. in these elected officials. and the fact that he didn't think these texts would ever come out. and they tell the real store rismts ee just corruption and it will have a big impact on the race and already has. >> laura: herman cain, desantis seeks that win, but andrew gilliam blamed race. >> when they're desperate they play the race card, they play the gender card, they play whatever card they can do. that's all he's doing. most people aren't buying it. >> laura: and david, quick. >> real quick, the president waited a long time to give the statement he ga
