Tolerate Sanctuary Cities pete what a morning. Abby guess who is back from vaca. Ed i was off for a couple weeks. Abby you look so refreshed. Ed italy will do that for you. Abby were you even vacationing. Ed i missed you guys. Pete Nothing Happened while you were on vacation. Abby big news we will talk about tomorrow. This is our last weekend together. So well make the most of it. Pete we have Sound Effects for you. We have a Big Celebration Tomorrow as well. But we have a lot of news breaking this morning. In fact, we begin with a Fox News Alert. Terrifying moments as a stolen plane flew aimlessly in the air before crashing in seattle. Abby take a look at this video. Alaska airlines employee
i dont want to hurt no one. I just want you to whisper Sweet Nothings into my ear. I have a lot of people that care about me. And its going to disappoint them to hear that i did this. Air Traffic Control tried to get the man to land the plane on water. The fighter jets did not shoot the plane down as it flew south of south that coma. An hour and a half after the plane took off. It crashed on a small island. Pierce county Officials Say this was not an act of terrorism. There is no indication that he did this to threaten anybody. There is no indication any kind of Terrorist Link or anything like that. The crash happened on an island between tacoma and olympia. There interest a handful of houses there. The plane went down in a wooded area and started a small wildfire but no one on the ground was hurt. The mans name has not been released. We should hear more about
A morning news show that includes interviews, features and banter among hosts. Serious problems. Somehow this guy can just get in the cockpit . Obviously he had more access. I get it he took advantage of that access where i cant get my arms around how there were not more checks. I get that people have certain badges and certain levels of access. There needs to be other player layers. Pete you follow it and watch it enough that you build out appear opportunity. Ed friday night and take advantage of. Pete Security Guard is a buddy of yours. We dont know what happened. But a couple of things happen. Abby not just about his life. A plane is a missile, right . You get behind that cockpit and anything can happen. So halder today with Mental Illness or knowing all of your employees and what they are dealing with oftentimes Behind Closed Doors tell as different story. Im sure the Company Maybe they didnt know he had been struggling this past year. Ed for the u. S. Military to scramble not just one but two f15s they were quite concerned, basically about people all around the seattle area. This plane could have landed
anywhere. Abby send us your thoughts this morning. A lot going on in the home front as well. As we often hear from the president and the Attorney General, the area that they do come together on because they are not always on the same page on everything is on immigration. Doubling down on the border and against Sanctuary Cities. Here was general Jeff Sessions yesterday in houston. Whatever we would on immigration. Whatever our views. All of us should agree on two goals. We need to end illegal immigration and to end illegal immigration crime. We cannot accept the fact that gangs like ms13, the latin king, many of whose members entered the country unlawfully are terrorizing American Communities from los angeles to boston. If we want to reduce violent crime, then we have to get serious about illegal immigrant crime. If were going to get serious about illegal immigration, we cant tolerate Sanctuary Cities. Ed think about all the talk
on capitol hill. Its an election year. Were going to deal with daca. Finally enforce the Immigration Law us. Its really the immigration on its own here because congress has done nothing. Pete yes, yes. Talk about the contrast. The left has also been rhetorically dedicated, unfortunately many people talking about abolishing ice and keeping those borders open. And really denigrating the policies that this administration has tried to pursue around zero tolerance. Ed denigrating Law Enforcement agencies. Pete denigrating the credibility of Law Enforcement at the same time. This administration is continuing to raise that conversation, stay focused on Sanctuary Cities. When you look at the polling. People, you know, may have different views of immigration and illegal immigration. When it comes to criminals and Sanctuary Cities, theres a lot of support for ending that policy. Abby you mentioned Whats Going On in the hill and mid terms around the corner. You notice every time you read one of President Trumps tweets endorsing a candidate. He talks about the border. Abby in his own way. Ed if they are going to take back the house, make her the speaker. Pete the gift that keeps on giving. Danny oconnor, like many candidates said, i dont want nancy pelosi for spiker. He is one of a few candidates. But if you add up a list. Its over 50 now of democrats both incumbents and candidates who have said they would not vote for nancy pelosi for speaker if they were to retake the house of representatives. Now, she has a lot of support amongst other establishment types, her caucus in california. She calls herself a massive legislator. I would call this group right here thats scrolling the new Freedom Caucus. Freedom from nancy pelosi is what they want. Ed here is one of their problems. They dont have an obvious person to replace her. Abby she hasnt let them find an obvious person she hasnt been willing to step aside. Ed she is holding on to power. Abby when your party is not in control of the white
smoke from more than a dozen burning wildfires are traveling thousands of miles to new york city. Take a look at that on the map. The smoke not yet affecting the east coast air quality according to the National Weather service. Those are not clouds by the way. Those are all smoke from the fire. Unbelievable. And theres this. The navy frantically searching for a marine that went overboard in international waters. The uss essex reporting from the fil philippines. Searchers covering more than 8,000 miles of water so far. The marines family has not been notified. Officials are not releasing their identity while the search is underway. Hoping for the best there. Also this Confirmation Hearings For Brawng Brett Kavanh will begin next month. September 4th hearing will last three to four days. Hoping to get kavanaugh by early october. President trump nominated kavanaugh to replace retiring justifiable anthony ceptiond. Then there is this. A nasa scrubbed what would have been historic launch overnight with 1 55 seconds to go in the countdown. Officials were forced to shut down the socalled mission to Touch The Sun after missing its Launch Window. The probe is expected to come within 3. 8 million miles of the sun by december 2024. The launch is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Very cool. Ed who do you think you are by the way, rick. Hey, take a look at this. Smoke is going across. Abby he is not here yet. I should become a weather person. Its actually much tougher than you think. Pete it might be happening. How does a Jihad Compound Train Kids to shoot other kids on u. S. Soil . An expert weighs in next. Ed nfl Anthem Protest in full force preseason already. One kneeler says it wont stop any time soon. We will discuss this big story ahead Motorcycle Revving
book as i mentioned i wrote in 2013 about imam no small fish sort of a name we never heard of as we hear often in these Terror Incidents and findings. This is a leading imam among the islamic establishment in america. He was the Vice President of Islamic Center of north america. He has been a fundraiser for hundreds of mosques. The islamic relations. He has been on their board. So now he certainly has led authorities to find his son. His son was the ringleader. He has two daughters there. Grand children. And he, on facebook and social media had been saying he lost his kids. And, yesterday, pete, when he was giving supposedly Spontaneous Press Conference he basically, again, dug his heels in and said he had been looking for them. They were strung out. Well, you know what, pete . They were strung out on his islamism. He may not have been a Paris Hilton Tant but he has been for decades the gateway drug for radicalization. He is the tip of the iceberg
almost like an alcoholic i dont know how my kids got on cocaine and other drugs. Well, he may not have been violent but at the end of the day he was the mentor for many radicals and has been and i have been screaming it for years, even on your show six, seven years ago i talked about him when he was going to speak at the dnc. And, yet now he is putting his hands up saying he doesnt know how his kids got radicalized. Pete doctor, this could have gone really the wrong direction. At some level this imam is saying i dont know where my sons or daughters are. That may or may not be true. He does still hold responsibility for the fact that if they are radicals who did seek to do violence, they learn that somewhere. Absolutely. He was a Character Witness in 93 for the blind sheikh who committed the World Trade Center bombing in 93. He grav gave the first prayer to the congress who sponsored him a man doing 23 years for Taking Hundreds Of Thousands of dollars from qaddafi to try to kill the kings of
saudi arabia. I can give you an example in 1995 i saw him personally hold up the core ron an quart rn tquartquran. Is he a separationist and he may not be al qaeda. He may not be isis. He is the tip of the iceberg of a Conveyor Belt of radicalization. Pete, this is a defining moment for muslims. We need new leadership. We need reform. We need to own up to the gateway drug that are leading imams like this guy and still today, the islamic organizations are saying dont offend its family. Its a hard time for him. Be compassionate. You know what . How about would he be compassionate for our kids being radicalized by imams like this guy. Pete wow, dr. Zuhdi jasser great inanxiety. Its a scary reminder even in the bureau of brooklyn guys are still there still in mosques preaching this kind of hate. Doctor, thank you for your time. We appreciate it. Thanks, pete. Any time. Pete wow. Still ahead. A wild brawl in new york city. Now a cab driver could be in big trouble. Woe, look at that film. Nfl Anthem Protest already ramping up as the preseason begins. One kneeler says it wont stop any time soon. Our next guest is an Iraq War Veteran who says he fought for their right to kneel. He has a message to the protesters straight ahead never compromise whats right and uphold your family name youve got to stand for something or youre fall for Anything Chicken . chicken. Chicken thats right, candace new Chicken Creations from starkist. Buffalo Style Chicken in a pouch bold choice, charlie just tear, eat. Mmmmm. And go try all of my Chicken Creations chicken yeah, i got some financialbody guidance a while ago. Howd that go . He kept spelling my name with an i but its bryan with a y. yeah, since birth. That drives me crazy. Yes. Its on all your email. Yes. They should know this . Yeah. The guy was my brotherinlaw. Thats ridiculous. Well, i happen to know some people. Do they listen . What . Theyre amazing listeners. Nice. Guidance from professionals who take their time to get to know you. Telling Fox The Launch is sending a message to the u. S. After President Trump followed through on that Campaign Promise and pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal and slapped new sanctions on tehran. Meanwhile, the president doubling the steel and aluminum tariffs on turkey. The president saying our relations with turkey are not good at this time. Aluminum will now be 20 . Steel 50 tariffs. Tension re release the american detained pastor andrew brunson. Pete . Pete Nfl Preseason starting up this week and so did the ongoing kneeling controversy. Abby kenny stills telling reporters they are not planning to stop any time soon. Continue into the regular season . I dont see why not. What would it take for you to stop doing it . It would take a lot. A good first step for us would be acknowledging what they are doing to us. [inaudible] league support the players and protest and not black ball the players who started the protest. Ed here to discuss former mma fighter tim kennedy. Good morning, tim. Good morning. Ed we thought the nfl had said we have got a new policy. You could kneel during the anthem if you stay in the locker room. The Players Association rejected that as you know. So where are we now . I guess we are lost. You know, we are a split nation. People struggling on both sides of the topic. I think ultimately, its unquestionably protected by the First Amendment and they have every right to do it. Whether or not they can do it while they are at work, you know, i have jobs and if i work for somebody and they tell me not to do something, i cant do it. Thats kind of how it works. You cant take a knee where you are. Thats not going to work. I dont understand how private corporation can kind of be on a Freight Train that they have no control over what direction or speed its going their employees. The other side is we do have issues, then those issues should be recognized. I dont know if disrespecting the American Flag is the way about going about it. I love the American Flag. I fought to protect it. You know, i would go overseas and do violence on their behalf for their right to take a to me. I believe somebody has a right to burn the American Flag. I think they are idiots. If they do it in front of me i will probably put them on the ground covered in their own blood. I would with no doubt go overseas and protect their right to do it. I realize there is a conflict there. Dont do it in front of me. Bad idea. I believe every way shape or form i would protect your idea. Abby what a contrast a week or two there when we saw the
bodies come back in boxes from north korea. What we saw with the nfl and the kneeling you mentioned the American Flag and how many friends, i imagine, have you lost fighting for this great country. What does that flag mean to you . When you see it draped over a coffin. When you see it draped over coffins of Men And Women who have served this great country, what does that mean to you . It means everything. You know, its not just you know, it might be difficult for me to understand from their perspective the struggles that the Africanamerican Community is going through, like come over to my side. Come and look at that flag being folded slowly, carefully, deliberately and handed to a widow or handed to a mom or a dad who just lost their son in a war. I have seen that countless times. I have seen that flag fly over bases being overrun by isis and al qaeda. Friends of mine like doing absolutely everything in their power to keep that flag flying. And, you know, to have the National Anthem come on and
you use that as an opportunity to disrespect the flag while trying to promote some issues. Its the wrong time. You know, that is a conversation that should be hang. But not at the expense and not at the cost of insulting like one of the most important pieces of who we are as americans. Pete you are right. Just the wrong time. I have to get your take. You are an army guy. Mma guy. None of you was would mess with you. I didnt know you had any experience in space. We did see the Vice President lay out their plans for a space force and a lot of people feel like the future of american dominance might include that sphere. Apparently you want to volunteer to join the space force, tim . Yeah. They are like hurt. We pretty much have to torture you for the next two years. Were not going to feed you, get no sleep. Im like cool, im in. Ill volunteer. Being a sniper is cool. Being a green beret is
awesome. Being a rangers is awesome being astronaut is awesome doing all of those things together you cant wish for anything cooler. And this is its not an accident. If you look at Trumps National strategic strategy to National Defense strategy all the way down to the joint chiefs of Staff National military strategy. It is part, you know, controlling information, controlling satellites, controlling who can put out propaganda, intelligence. This is truly america first. And its no surprise to me that were going to be owning everything in space and if the military is in space, were going to own it thats the way its going to be. Abby especially if you are involved. Pete consider yourself volunteered. Guys, i cant even believe it. Pete be a founding member. They would be lucky to have you too. Abby thank you for your service. What a guy. Pete i love it. Abby coming up on the show to a Fox News Alert now. An Airline Employee steals a plane taking it for a terrifying ride as you can see there before crashing. So, how could this even happen . A pilot and Aviation Expert joining us live next. Ed plus just a wild brawl in new york city. Now a cab driver could be in some big trouble.

And terrifying moments as a stolen plane flies aimlessly in the air before crashing to the ground. Ed this went on for about 90 minutes overnight Alaska Airlines employee taking the aircraft from tacoma to seattle flying dangerously close to several homes. Holy [bleep] oh my god. What is happening right now . Pete well, Military Fighter Jets closely tailing the plane before it crashed on an island. Please say no other passengers on the plane. Authorities confirming this was not terrorism. Here to react now we will bring in a pilot and Aviation Expert. Thank you for being here this morning. Happy to be with you. Pete how does this happy
from getting away from the gate to taking off to Security Protocols. Walk us through it . It depends or the aircraft was. If the aircraft was at a Passenger Gate, at a departure gate. Someone would have had to push that plane back it doesnt back up on its own. It would have been a crew member to do it. Some kind of authorization or coordination with somebody on the ground to do that. If the plane was out near a taxiway, maybe just standing by for maintenance or going into a maintenance bay, then, if you know how to start an engine like that and, again, that takes some training, so he would have had to have some training, then taking off on a runway is not impossible. Its something that a Flight Student could do after a while. Abby certainly a wakeup call around the country that this could happen. He is a 29yearold man. As we are hearing he is not a technician but maybe a higher up, at least high enough to have certain access to things. What should people be aware
of now. Its hard to know what went wrong first. We have a lot of airport security. He had credentials he had the ability to get out on the ramp and to be among the airplanes. So, its hard to say were going to stop somebody like that from doing anything unless we figure that he may have some, you know, nefarious thoughts in mind. Pete you would think post 9 11 and incidents across the country there would be protocols in layers just because have you an id badge you shouldnt just be able to hop into the cockpit and take off. You would think that there are layers to back it up and say okay, who is this guy . Who is going where . Is it possible he was taking advantage of friday night . Late summer . Maybe theres some vacations going on and there is less people there. It could very well be the issue. And, remember, how many people go around and service an airplane before its ready for departure . 112, 15, 18 people depending
on the size of the aircraft. Can you keep track of people all the time . Ed people cleaning a plane or mechanic there. Is it ready to take off . Pete usually three, four, five people there. Ed there should be flairs . He indicated the fuel was burning faster than he thought it should have been. He knew something about the aircraft. Pete imagine if this happened over new york, new jersey . They had a couple jets scrambled is there a point you shoot it down. They probably had protocol in place for that lets give them a lot of credit. They went up there and knew exactly what to do. Keep him away from population. They made him circle. Thats really what you want to do. Keep him to an area. This island had a couple of dozen people on the island. It really wasnt a big threat to people on the ground. Lets keep him there and had he made a move towards
seattle or some of the more populated areas, im sure. Ed audio there kept saying take a turn this way, this way. Towards the water so he wouldnt be in a pop plus area. And trying to talk him down thats when he decided to put the plane on the island. Abby wakeup call. Thank you so much. I do wants to bring you other headlines we are following this morning.

Now she is proud to be the voice of the Men And Women who stand watch on that border. Its not lost on her that she is the first woman in the Border Patrols 94 year history. Take a look. I do realize it is a milestone and we have so many talented Men And Women in the Border Patrol. I guarantee you i may be the first but i guarantee you i wont be the last female chief of the Border Patrol. I want to be their voice. I want to have the opportunity to get that message out, the great things that they do. Maybe to ensure that the public truly understands the sacrifices that they make, how dedicated they are to protecting the country and to securing our borders and ultimately, you know, Border Security is national security. I need more Men And Women. I need more technology. I need more wall. Politicians are criticizing not just policies but actually agents
themselves. Do you see this taking a toll on them . Definitely. I think it takes a toll on their morale. I have said this before and i will say it again. We dont leave our humanity behind when we report for duty. The majority of my Men And Women are parents. Im a parent myself. Law enforcement is a difficult job. In my 26 years in Law Enforcement, both as a local Police Officer and as a Border Patrol agent, i have had to separate parents from their children. Its not an easy task. But when you violate the law, and it is a violation of law to cross the border illegally between the ports of entry, then there needs to be a consequence. Our core values are vigilance, service to country, and integrity. I want to ensure that we continue down that path. Griff so she steps in to this challenge with unbelievable pressure on her. But, when i talked to. So other Border Agents i have met along the way. Calling around what do you think of her she is great. We really look forward to
her leadership. Abby griff, how important is it to have someone like her leading the charge . Its really important. You know, you heard there, shes a mother. She understands this. But she also says look, we dont make the laws. We enforce them. And at the top of her priorities is rule of law. And thats exactly what the administration wants right now. Griff jenkins getting the scoop. Glad to have you on this morning. God speed to her. Abby coming up on the show, Gregg Jarrett, tammy bruce and dan bongino all here live.

Im the 18th chief and the first female but its interesting because throughout my career, i never looked at myself as a female Border Patrol agent, just a Border Patrol agent. Abby good saturday morning. We begin here with a Fox News Alert. Terrifying moments as a stolen plane flies aim mustily in the air before crashing. Pete Alaska Airlines employee stealing the aircraft from Seattle Tacoma International airport. Ed thats where our own dan springer is life with what we know at this hour. Dan, certainly a lot of questions this morning. Yeah. Investigators will eventually get to those questions when they get up this morning. Its real early out here. Jewels a stunning joy ride gone terribly wrong is exactly how it was described by the local sheriff. Clearly it was also a bizarre suicide, which happened last night at 8 00. When an Airline Employee stole a 76 seat Passenger Aircraft and flew it around the pe piewjt sound. The video is absolutely stunning and amazing when you look at it. Shows the q400 turbo prop doing loops and flying low to the ground. The military quickly sent up two f15 fighter jets to follow that plane. Those planes came out of portland and up here in minutes. The man who stole the plane worked for horizon air as a Ground Service agent. Definitely not a pilot. He joked with the air Traffic Control agents about his flying skills even though he was not a pilot, clearly. He also made it clear he was suicidal. I dont want to hurt no one. I just want you to whisper Sweet Nothings into my ear. I have a lot of people that
care about me. And its going to disappoint them to hear that i can this. Air Traffic Control tried to get the man to land the plane in a variety of places first at a nearby air base and then over water. The fighter jet did not shoot the plane down as it flew south of seattle and towards tacoma and south of tacoma. An hour and a half after the plane took off, it crashed on a small island. Pierce county Officials Say this was definitely not an act of terrorism. There is no indication that he did this to threaten anybody. There is no indication of any kind of Terrorist Link or anything like that. The crash happened on tetron island. Very small. Population 20. Handful of houses. The plane went down in a wooded area and started a small wildfire. That was quickly out. No one on the ground was hurt. We are told the man who stole the plane was killed. The mans name has not been
released. But you mentioned the investigation. It will certainly start this morning. They will look into exactly how he was able to get into plane and take off. He had no formal pilot skills that we know of. He was a Ground Transportation employee. He was the guy that deices the planes in the winter. He will also direct the planes with those orange cones and bring them in to the gate and take the planes out to the runway and things like that. So how was he able to fly that plane . How was he able to get it undetected . We do know that plane was in for some maintenance. It was not supposed to be flown that day or last night. So, exactly how he got that plane and how he was able to get off the ground with it will be part of the investigation. Ed dan springer some terrific reporting in the middle of the night for us. Appreciate it, dan. Pete thanks, dan. Ed that answers a little bit of the question one of our experts had last hour whether the plane was at a gate. Dan is reporting it the was not at Passenger Gate it was in Maintenance Area being worked on. Significant because a pilot
Aviation Expert was saying if it was at a Passenger Gate you would need more people involved to actually if he was in the cockpit getting ready to fly you need other people to push it back from the gate. Thats not what happened. It was in a Maintenance Area. Abby begs the question how do you monitor all of your employees and make sure they are mentally well that Something Like this doesnt happen again. Thats a question we asked sal la gotten i cant. Here is what he said. He had credentials. Let ability to get out on the ramp and be among the airplanes. So its hard to say that we are going to stop somebody like that from doing anything unless we figure that he may have some nefarious thoughts. Remember, how many people go around and service an airplane before its ready for departure. 12, 15, 18 people, depending on the eyes of the aircraft. Can you keep traffic of all of those people all the
time . Ed that last point makes you wonder how its not happened before. All the airports, chicago ohare and jfk with employees going in and out. Thank god it hasnt happened before its remarkable because he could have done much damage all the fuel in that plane. He was driving over some of these videos showing from social media. I was listening to them earlier. The audio, families, kids at first oh wow, dad, look. They were horrified because they thought this plane was going to crash and kill their families. If this plane had crashed somewhere not on that Remote Island but actually in a neighborhood, this would be a much pete i poo pooed this story at first when i saw it. I didnt realize what a large plane it was coming out a major airport. As we saw on 9 11 planes can be missiles. If he decided to turn it towards seattle, if it had happened in this area, thats a real threat and not every Airport Worker at every airport has been screened probably the way they should for their background. Clearly you can do side Pilot Training without people knowing it. This guy knew how to take
off a plane and fly it i wouldnt know where to start. Even if he was a maintenance guy he knew something. Abby we cannot highlight enough how lucky it was. Right near a navy base. They are used to seeing planes above them and doing crazy things and flips and tricks. And to your point, ed, when your kid is on the ground and it gets close you realize this is not a normal navy plane. Ed fuel there, it causes a big fire and who knows what happens. Thank god none of that happened. Abby thinking about family and friends, everyone who knew him its a sad story. Pete it is a sad story. Abby we will keep an eye on it. Pete something that makes me happy every august is football is coming pack. Im a fugitive fan. I love it preseason started on thursday. A lot of us hope in the offseason they get this Kneeling Thing figured out. They had a new policy and everyone walked away from the policy. What will players do kneeled last year and thinking about kneeling this year. Unfortunately we saw a
handful of players take a knee or raise a fist in that first weekend. The President Tweeting as you would expect about that. The second part of two tweets read this way. He said be happy, be cool. A Football Game that pays that fans are paying so much money to watch and enjoy is no place to protest. Most of that money goes to the players anyway. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be suspended without pay. His point is enjoy the game, we love the game. Keep the game where it is. Dont mix your protest with something so many people revere in the National Anthem. Pete nfl policy supposed to be in place and rejected and part of the reason why we are at this place again is hey, if you want to protest, yeah, have you that opportunity, stay in the locker room, do it that way. Dont do it on the field when we are honoring the flag. When we are honoring america. And we had sergeant tim kennedy, an mma fighter, an Iraq War Veteran on. He said, look, i fought for this flag. I saw some of my friends die for the American Flag. For this country. You have the right to
protest. But if he saw that kind of protest happening, heres what he said he would do. Come over to my side. You know, come and look at that flag being folded slowly, carefully, deliberately and handed to a widow or handed to a mom or handed to a dad that just lost their son in a war. I have seen that countless times. I have seen that flag flying baits overrun by isis and al qaeda. Friends of mine like doing absolutely everything in their power to keep their flag flying. And you know, to have the National Anthem come on and you use that as an opportunity to disrespect the flag while trying to promote some issues, it just its the wrong time. Abby he made the point. He said we are over there fighting so that people can speak their minds, so that they can kneel. So they can do whatever they want really in this country. I think this is a real Leadership Problem within the nfl and the fact that we
are still talking about this. They will cant get it under control. Lets have those conversations, right . Bring the players. In figure out how we move forward as a league. How can we make football enjoyable again for every american. Pete there is your problem right there. Roger goodell he can tig figure out how to tell them what kind of socks and shoes to wear but not whether or not to stand for the National Anthem. Ed they are not having that problem in Major League Baseball and the nhl. By the way to abbys question and points which is an important one about bringing people together, some of these players have simply said i dont want to meet with the president. I dont want to meet with community leaders. I think kenny stills, we should point out one of the Miami Dolphin players who has kneeled has met with community leaders. He wants to talk about police issues. He is trying to make a difference. Is he not just doing the protest and maybe an empty he is actually saying lets find a solution. Pete nba has figured it out as well. Remember the Golden State Warriors said im not going to the white house you are entitled to personal perspective and some of us will disagree with that at
least they are standing for the anthem. They have a policy. And they have figured it out. Abby talk to anyone who has gone into the white house or sat down across the table from him and left saying he didnt listen to them or didnt care about what they had to say u thats the only way to move forward is to have conversations. Figure out where the problems are and how we move forward. The kneeling, as much as people feel like there are issues in this country and there are issues that we need to solve. Is that the most productive way to do it. Ed good point. Abby send us your thoughts on that friends foxnews. Com. A Highway Motorcycle Officer and a driver that he pulled over are killed during a traffic stop. A pickup truck slamming into men on the side of the road. Will california state Highway Patrol saying officer kurt griff died doing what he loved. He was the ultimate public servant. He loved what he did. He loved being a chp officer. He loved being a chp motorcycle officer. Abby the driver of the pickup truck is now in the
hospital and cooperating with authorities. A 19year veteran of the force and former marine. He leaves behind a wife and three children. Its just heart breaking. And theres this. Two Police Officers are among four People Killed in a deadly rampage in canada. Officers Robert Costello and sarah burns responding to a call of shots fired in new brunswick. They came across two victims on the ground just moments before getting shot themselves. The accused shooter is now being identified as a 48yearold man. Is he coverinsuffering from Sers Injuries after gun fight with police. A motive is still unclear. And theres this. The Democratic National committee serving weeks with a lawsuit over twitter of all of places. The law firm representing the dnc posting this single tweet with links to several documents related to that suit. They are accusing wikileaks, the russian government and the Trump Campaign worked together to target the dnc. It all comes after the site published hacked emails during the 2016 election. Ed maybe they will turn
over their server. And an artist showing his support for President Trump this 20foot sculpture. Placing masterpiece in front of a home in new york. Im an artist. And this is my work. Its my display to provoke emotion. This community, they love it i think a littl bigger would be better, taller. Showing his support for then candidate donald trump before someone set it on fire. Pete, is your yard big enough for that . Pete no Staten Island true to form right there. He should replicate that. Abby maybe make a smaller one for you. Pete no, bigger. Ed this morning talking about a lot of tough issues. Chicago. Its been descending into chaos with over 1700 people, 1700 people shot this year.

Healthy, beautiful smiles for life. Overcome jason hill. Jason, good morning. Good morning. Ed lets start simply Whats Going On in your city. An epidemic of mass murders that have been going on for quite some time and its a genocidal warfare taking over certain parts of chicago and i think nothing short of boots on the ground occupation by the navy, the marines, the national guard. I think certain parts of the city should be placed into Military Receivership and nothing short of that will be the solution. Ed i want to get to that and what kind of federal response we should have. I want to first start and stay with the city. Rahm emanuel is the mayor. As you know he is very much under fire over this, of course i have known him for a long time. He was in the Clinton White house. Capitol hill. Chief of staff at the white house for barack obama. He was hardcharging. He was tough. He would stand up to members
of Congress Stand up to president s. What has gone wrong . I think he is just fewerly incompetent. And i think that he is responsible since the 2014 firing of certain forcing into retirement and firing certain chief of Police Officers and leaders shown no respect for Police Officers. And Law Enforcement. He is incompetent and should be called to resign for dereliction of duty. Ed we have heard for calls for him to resign. He has said he is not going it do that he is not incompetent. Is he trying to deal with the problem. As you lay out in your book and commentaries this morning clearly the city is not taking care of the problem. In the last minute we have, what do you think President Trump should do . What do you think the Trump Administration what do you think congress should do to deal with this problem . [inaudible] invoked by
three president s before 1957 by President Eisenhower and 1992 by President Bush and in 2006 by president george w. Bush and i think that the city has to be placed in to Military Receivership. I think we need boots on the ground, occupation in certain parts of the neighborhood that are being targeted by career criminals. I think gang manipulate should alsgang membership shoul. Ed these gang members clearly are not respecting the law whether you make it illegal or not. Important and tough questions ahead for the president and others, professor jason hill we appreciate your time this morning. Thank you. Ed all right, still ahead. Defense secretary james mattis is so popular with the troops he cannot even introduce the Vice President without hearing thunder russ applause. Next guest tells us why he is so respected. [applause]

Vice president , that is for you. Not for me. [laughter] please, please. [applause] pete so who really have general james mattis. Here with a closer look is the author of no better friend, no worse enemy the
life of general james mattis jim prosser. Thanks for being here this morning. Giewrge what made you say you wanted to write the book on this guy. First attracted to him by the quotes many of us have heard things like be polite, be professional, but be prepared to kill everyone you meet. [laughter] he has the ability to be both a peace maker and a very effective war maker, war fighter at the same time. That attracted me to him as someone who could manage both worlds. Abby knowing him now, you actually have not met him. Correct. Abby or interviewed him which is so fascinating. You probably feel like you know him so well from this book. Is he the man he is today because he was born this way or was it Life Experiences that turned him into the person we now see . He has worked very hard and long to become the man that he is because as i say
he is a very proficient war fighter. He is a very ferocious warrior. And that takes a great deal of discipline over many, many, many years as you know. Ed we have heard about him as a warrior monk who likes to read all these books. Yes. Ed solitude. He has this tough side. The moment i remember is the 60 minutes interview. Listen to this. What keeps you awake at night . Nothing. I keep other people awake at night. Ed pardon me face the nation, sunday program not 60 minutes. I keep others at wake at night. Thats jim mattis. He is not intimidated. He keeps it very real for his troops. And he has always told them that the people are the prize. So, you know, a Military Victory is just the beginning, but he is very, very aware that the ultimate goal of war is to win the hearts and minds of the people. Pete what does the fact that President Trump chose him as his first cabinet member what does it say
about the president and level of respect . Well, jim mattis is living proof that trump is neither unethical nor incompetent. The fact that he was chosen first, i think, speaks to President Trumps ability to recognize someone who knows how to win. And both and someone who has really brought appeal to both to all people and all sides of very divided nation. Abby so much of the show that we do here is highlighting what makes this country so great and the patriots among us that sacrificed every single day for all of us. And he is the number one example when i can think of that type of person. What can we learn . What do you hope people take from this book . Well, he is a role model. I mean, his commitment to the nation andselves to the nation and his dedication and selfdiscipline over many years is a role model to me. And i hope to Many Americans who would like to have an
extraordinary life like mr. Mattis. Pete pretty private guy, doesnt seek the spotlight. Not clear if you are a friend or enemy at this point for writing this book. I hate be the last guy to who makes jim mattis angry last man alive. Ed everywhere you can buy a book right now jim proser appreciate it. Pete one of the most fast fascinating men. Abby a man take as plane ride for a terrifying ride before crashing it. How could this happen . Aviation expert live next. Pete bruce ohr is heading to the hot seat on capitol hill.

Alaska airlines died after stealing a plane and crashing it to the ground. He was flying dangerously close to homes watch this. Holy [bleep] oh my god. What is happening right now . Pete yeah, Military Fighter Jets closely tailing the plane before it crashed on a Remote Island. Police say no other passengers were on the plane. Authorities confirming this was not an act of terrorism. Lets bring in now sal lagonia, pilot and Aviation Expert. This was not an act of terrorism, sal, a Future Iteration could be. I mean, thats what scares people about this. This was a guy on a suicide run. What if someone like him had the same access and stole a plane . How do we prevent that . And im not sure there is a way of preventing it here have you an Airline Employee with proper credentials in a proper access area of the airport. We call it airport operations area. And he has got access to get on that aircraft. If he knows enough to start it, and to move it, what can you do . Now, we did find out that the aircraft was in a
maintenance situation. So it wasnt at a gate where he would have needed extra help to get the airplane pushed back and then back out on the taxiway or on the run way. But, if it was at a maintenance gate, he could have literally walked on board with his proper credentials and shut the door and flown away. Ed how quickly can you start a plane like this its not like putting a key in an ignition. I have never been in cockpit like that. How long would it have taken . Its a turbo plot so its ultimately a jet engine. You need to know what valves to pull, how to move the fuel around the aircraft so its not in one place. How to get the pumps going and how to start it typically whats called apu on board some aircraft that actually start the engine running. So that it can pick up speed and then begin. Ed it takes minutes. Not something that happens in a minute or two. Five or ten minute
operation. Abby luckily not in a place like new york where there are buildings everywhere and there was water that the plane could go to. Certain point fighter jets had to come up and steer it in a certain direction or try to at least. At what point do they make that decision we need to shoot this down or we need to get up there and solve. This they have internal protocols to make that happen. I think we have to say they did a fantastic job. They kept that plane away from population. Kept it away from buildings. They kept it over almost deserted island, over in the middle of the water. And when they couldnt get him to go down in a Military Base, which is what they wanted, then they tried to keep him over the water where he could do the least amount of damage. Ed if you are in charge of Operations Management this morning at jfk or chicago ohare, what are you doing . Redoubling my efforts to make sure the Security Protocols that are supposed to be in place are in place. I think thats the bottom line. We have plenty of security at airports. We have to make sure they are not failing. Pete how many ongoing
screening happens of employees. Obviously a clearance goes in to being hired to be secure area. Things change. People can get radicalized. Who is alerted of when someone could be suspicious. It varies. The faa has their own protocols in place that require airlines to do a certain amount of that but, for the most part. Its drug testing and alcohol testing. Its not the Mental Illness testing because that is so hard to do. Pete or the radicalization testing. Or the radicalization testing. We dont know when thats going to happen. You could test somebody today and he could be radicalized three days from now. Abby almost impossible. Its a really tough thing we are faced with. It sure is. Abby thank you for your insight. Really horrible story. I want to give you other headlines we are following this morning. Starting with this. A judge rejects plea deals for two men charged in the deadly oakland warehouse fire. A california judge saying that derek showed no remorse for the 2016 blaze killing 36 people. Prosecutors say that harris
turned the warehouse known as the ghost ship into an illegal concert venue. Concert goers call it a death trap by cluttering and t. And blocking the exits. Both could face life in prison if convicted. College basketball coach is placed on leave an a man he punched died. Jamil jones charged with hitting sandor szabo to fall back and hitting his head on the concrete. His mother Calling Jones out for leaving the scene. When you are responsible for somebodys death, you hit them so hard you leave, dont show up again for five days, and you think an assault is what you should be charged with you are just wrong. Abby the Wake Forest University coach is charged with assault and pleading not guilty. Still unclear why he punched the man or if they even knew each other. First, Hollywood Star, now his New Hampshire granite
vandals smashing President Trumps Granite Block marking his 2016 win. Showcases democrat and republican winners of the states president ial primary. Police are now actively searching for suspects. This comes as the West Hollywood city Council Voted to remove the Hollywood Star after it was reportedly destroyed. Ed no end. Unbelievable. Rent control in the city and state what newly claimed socialist Cynthia Nixon pushing for as campaign of governor of new york. She wants to keep rent costs the same for residents across New York State no matter their income giving them a stable and safe place to live. Pete if only we could get rid of all markets all together. Ed free tuition. Medicare for all. Pete free, perfect. Rick gives us free weather. Rick could you keep my rent stable though . Pete works for me. Rick exactly. All right, guys. Big storms coming in across
parts of the northeast. Take a look at the map and show you Whats Going On. We have the storms right here. We also have storms across parts of texas. Its going to be especially tomorrow right around the big been stretching over towards the west in towards hill country. Get ready potentially for flooding. A lot of drought going on across parts of texas. Across parts of the northeast today pretty big showers as well we have to deal with down across the southeast, we will see heavier rain across parts of south florida. Not that bad across places like atlanta and in towards birmingham. We will see those showers in across parts of texas. Towards the Northern Plains, take a look at this 101 for a high today in bismarck. 92 in minneapolis. The heat is on see a little mormomore monsoonal rain. Ed senior doj staff bruce ohr about be interviewed about the author of antitrump dossier. Dozens and dozens of revelations. Could be a big bombshell
coming. Gregg jarrett is here to weigh in live next. Pete knock down pins for National Bowling day. Of course we will be competing. Abby who knows. Could have fallen in the gutter. Pete sounded like a strike. Never stop
wow, thats clean new cascade platinum. Abby welcome back. House republicans getting ready to grill a key official tied to the antitrump dossier. Pete bruce ohr will come before Congress On August 28th to answer why he had 60plus contacts with
the Dossier Author chris steele as far back as january 2016. He owes the American Public the full truth. Ed What Happens Next . Here is a man who knows the you author of the russian hoax a run away New York Times best seller Gregg Jarrett. Thanks for having me on the curvey couch. Ed bruce ohr is on the book, chapter i believe. Yes. We had known some time ago here is the number four official at the justice department. Checking in on the russia investigation and whatnot. Now we learned he was talking to the author of the dossier. His wife, nellie ohr was working at fusion gps the Opposition Research firm digging up dirt on donald trump. What an interesting connection. When he filed his disclosure forms he didnt reveal what his wife was doing which as i write in the book is a potential crime. I also identify other potential crimes that bruce ohr and others may have committed, including
conspiracy to defraud the government, major fraud, Obstruction Of Justice, abuse of power. When he testifies on the 28th of this month, i would not be surprised if he invokes his right against incrimination, selfincrimination. Pete what would his justification presumably be for all these contacts with Christopher Steele for not disclosing his wife who is by the way a russian linguist and expert on Russian Affairs could have been a part of that. He and his wife hated donald trump. They wanted to help Hillary Clinton. So there was this can a can kal author. Glenn simpson who was paying for it through Hillary Clintons campaign. Ed fusion gps. Thats right. This little kabul was pushing this phony dossier. James comey and his confederates were all in. They used this document as a pretext not only to investigate donald trump but to spy on the Trump Campaign
through the fisa wiretap warrant. Abby so republicans on the hill, they are frustrated because all they have been asking for all this time is just some answers. They want to get evidence of those conversations between the ohrs, between steele and peter strzok as well. They throw out subpoenas. It doesnt seem to ever lead to anything it doesnt seem like they have gotten any real answers. Right. Abby time and time again they have asked for them. This is how coverups work. The truth is slow to emerge. All of the people who were involved in the russia hoax advancing this cocollusion no probable cause. No intelligence. Actively deceiving and they continued to do so this day. Abby how long can this go on for . Well, Congress Needs to really put its foot down. This is a step in the right direction to call all of these people to testify. But what you really need is a grand jury to investigate
the investigators because the law enforcers, as i write in the book, became the law breakers and great irony here is they are not under investigation, but donald trump is and the evidence is pretty overwhelming that they framed him. Ed a whole new layer this week when had you john solomon at the hill Newspaper Communications we teased at the leadin. More than we ever knew between bruce ohr at the justice indictment and Christopher Steele the former british spy. What struck me is that we learn in the communications that the Dossier Author, steele, is lobbying bruce ohr at the Obama Justice department on behalf of a Russian Oligarch, a billionaire who had ties to the russian mob. So here we are investigating whether or not the Trump Campaign had ties to russia and Christopher Steele, the antitrump dossier guy is lobbying for a Russian Oligarch . He is on the payroll of Hillary Clinton and he is on the payroll of the fbi this
is guy who admitted in British Court documents that i dug up and they are reprinted in the book, he essentially said that his dossier wasnt worth the paper it was written on. He called it unverifiable. The problem is that james comey and others used it to spy on the Trump Campaign, they perpetrated a fraud on the court, and they were desperate to verify it so they continued to use Christopher Steele through bruce ohr to try to verify that which they had illegally used. Pete ultimately their shield wags the fact that Hillary Clinton was going to win. What happened though after she didnt between that election day and his swearing . Did things ramp up . Absolutely. Panic mode set in over the department of justice and the fbi because they realized, my goodness, we can be exposed for all the frauds we have perpetrated and the laws we have broken. So, thats when they continued their efforts with
Christopher Steele and ramped them up, even after trump was elected, after he was inaugurated and they continued to go after trump with Christopher Steele, who had been fired as a liar. Abby gregg, if you care about this country and the role of doj and role of government, regardless of your party and politics, everyone should be asking these same questions. Gregg gregg they should.

He wants to basically see how deep she is on some of these issues. Ed thats why she copped out, right . Abby she doesnt want to debate him. He responded yesterday to this back and forth and here is what he said about it . If you cannot win on the facts, you win on the intent. Right . And this is what the left does so frequently and i find it highly irritating. Highly annoying the suggestion is that it is a bad faith effort to have a discussion if you just dont want to debate. Shouting sexist at the moon and all sorts of accolades on the left. This is why the radical left that has been sucked into to intersection nattlez they are failing with the American People, they are feeling with the American People specifically because they wont even have conversations. Pete she accused him of catcalling her. Ed thats what she called it on twitter the sexist card. Pete exactly. Turns out previously she tried to get her opponent to debate her. Pete joe crowley in the democratic primary. Pete she did. We went back on twitter account and these are tweets that she sent out that look like pretty much the same thing. My opponent seems to be avoiding a debate and isnt acknowledging me its just the two of us, so this weekend i stopped by his office, said hello and asked for a debate in person. Im the first congressional challengener 14 years. The bronx and queens deserves to know their opinions. Ed this was may. Walls she catcalling joe crowley . Abby depends on how you define catcalling.

Were trying to land that airplane safely and not hurt anybody on the crown. 29yearold airport employee stole a jet and flew it around the puget sound before crashing into a small island. I dont want to. I was hoping that was going to be it. We have a lot of security at airports these days. He had credentials. He had the ability to get out on the ramp. Its hard to say we are going to stop somebody like that. Going to get serious about illegal immigration. We cant tolerate Sanctuary Cities. This administration is continuing to raise that conversation, stay focused on Sanctuary Cities. The Nfl Preseason has barely begun and athletes are already renewing their protests during the National Anthem. We do have issues and those issues should be recognized. I dont know if disrespecting the american
flag is the way going about it. I love the American Flag. I fought to protect it . The Border Patrol has a new boss. Making history as the first woman to take the job. I guarantee you i may be the first but i guarantee you i wont be the last female chief of the Border Patrol abby good saturday morning. We begin with a Fox News Alert. An Alaska Airlines employee died after stealing a plane and crashing it to the ground. Pete he took the aircraft from Seattletacoma International Airport aimlessly flying it for 25 minutes. Ed dan springer is at the airport. He lives in the seattle area. Dan, as we saw the story breaking on social media overnight it seemed like it scared a whole lot of people in your neighborhood. Ed, it was bizarre last night. For 90 minutes this ninth Busiest Airport in the country was completely shut down. No aircraft was allowed to land or take off. Because at 8 00 last night, 29yearold Airline Employee got into a plane, a commercial aircraft, got off the ground and flew around the puget sound for 90 minutes starting at 8 00 before he crashed into a small island. We understand that President Trump has been briefed on the situation. The fbi is taking the lead in the investigation. The ntsb and National Transportation safety board may or may not send a full team out here. Of the video is stunning shows the turbo prop doing loops and flying low to the ground. The military quickly sent up 2 f15 fighter jets to follow the plane and shoot it down if necessary. The man who stole the plane worked for the Horizon Airline as a Ground Service agent. He joked with air Traffic Controllers about his flying skills. Even though he was not a pilot. He also made it clear he was suicidal. I dont want to hurt no one. I just want you to whisper Sweet Nothings into my ear. I have a lot of people that care about me. And its going to disappoint them to hear that i did this. Air Traffic Control was very calm. They tried to get the man first to land at nearby air base and then land the plane in water. The fighter jets did shot shoot the plane down as it flew south of tacoma. An hour and a half after the plane took off it crashed on a small island. Piece county Officials Say this was not an act of terrorism. There is no independent occasion that he did this to threaten anybody. There is no indication of any kind of Terrorist Link or anything like that. The crash took place on countKetron Island. Population about 20. A handful of houses there. The plane went down in a wooded area. Started a small wildfire that was quickly put out. No one on the ground was injured. The mans name has not been
released. We expect to hear more about him and the investigation later on today. Its still very early out here, but teams of investigators will be out here, as i said, the fbi is taking the lead. The ntsb, which usually does these investigations, will assist but will not take the lead in this one. Again, no act of terrorism. Back to you guys. Ed real quick, has that just paralyzed the airport last night . I saw people on social media talking about their flights to various places i imagine they locked the airport down for quite a while. Yeah. It did for 90 minutes. As soon as they knew this plane had taken off. They shut down the airfield. All the runways were shut down. No planes were allowed to take off or land. And so that did put a lot of people out with their flights. But, you know, 90 minutes and then they got them going again. Its all cleared out now and back to normal operations. It was pretty bizarre here last night. Abby glad it wasnt worse than it could have been. Pete at first you want to dismiss it and say this is a guy on a Suicide Mission didnt want to hurt anybody but himself. But, put anyone else with the wrong motives inside that plane and as we saw on 9 11 a missile that could be used. Ed so scary. Pete imagine if it towards turned seattle or happened here or any other city, the screening behind the scenes that we dont have our arms wrapped around. Abby makes you wonder how this could happen. Grounds service agent. He was not a pilot. I dont know what credentials he had. But how was he able to get in that plane . Obviously there were other people that saw this happening on the ground there at the airport. They would have seen the plane take off. We dont have all the answers to this. It does make you wonder how it happened to begin with and how this never happens again. We had sal lagonia on our show earlier. Pilot and Aviation Expert. Could easily access the plane with proper credentials. Heres what he said. Here have you an airline
employee with proper credentials in a proper access area of the airport. We call it airport operations area. And he has got access to get on that aircraft. If he knows enough to start it, and to move it. What can you do . Now, we did find out that the aircraft was in a maintenance situation. So, it wasnt at a gate where he would have needed extra help to get the airplane pushed back and back out on the taxiway or runway. But, if it was at a maintenance gate. He could have quite literally walked on board it with his proper credentials and shut the door. Ed one of our viewers on twitter sent me a note how in the world based on that, if you have access to that area you can just get on a plane and take off . Pete you never know. Pete how has this not happened before . Thankful it hasnt happened before but its remarkable that just with that access he was able to get on a plane and take off and start joy riding. Abby when you talk about Mental Illness you can test for drugs and alcohol, but the world we are living in
today, how do you test employees for their mental state . How do you know that one day they are fine and the next day they completely change. Pete thats something something that sal talked about. They dont it on Mental Illness and radicalization. Think about people that get clearances that could eventually get radicalized they are behind security border. In minneapolis i Pay Attention its a home airport for me. The tsa last year failed 95 of the time trying to stop contraband from coming through just regular security. I would also note, obviously there has been a serious problem of radical islamic radicalization in the somali Muslim Population there. A lot of them work at the airport. Thats not to impugn those people. Hopefully they are wonderful people. But, if you have got the wrong person with the wrong access and you are not screening them repeatedly to make sure they wouldnt do something, you could have serious problems. Thats why Something Like this really matters across the country. Abby how is it balanced someone made the point earlier on twitter you cant
even get more that be three ounces of toothpaste. Ed grandmother is getting shaken down what do you have in your purse . Abby this guy gets behind a plane and takes off. Pete you have got to have some knowledge. You dont just turn the keys. He shared with us how much time it takes to start up. Maybe it was kind of a sleepy friday night in the airport. He took advantage. Ed vacation time. Less people around. Obviously there are Airport Operators all around the country, chicago, new york, l. A. , elsewhere waking up this morning saying how do we lock down the situation . It reminds me a little bit of what the president has been talking about with our borders and how we need to get a handle on the situation. He has been talking about this going back to the campaign. Abby so has his Attorney GeneralJeff Sessions. They continue to double down on the border and how dangerous they keep saying Sanctuary Cities are. Here was attorney Jeff Sessions yesterday speaking in houston. Whatever we would talk on immigration, whatever our views, all of us should agree on two goals. We need to end illegal immigration and to end illegal immigration crime. We cannot accept the fact that gangs like ms13, the latin king, many of whose members entered the country unlawfully are terrorizing American Communities from los angeles to boston. If we want to reduce violent crime, then we have to get serious about illegal immigrant crime. If were going to get serious about illegal immigration, we cant tolerate Sanctuary Cities. Pete Sanctuary Cities are all about illegality and whether you are going to work with Law Enforcement to enforce the rule of law, or let criminals get away. Ed yeah. You have had democrats in the runup to the mid terms hey the solution is to abolish ice somehow. Lets go after the Law Enforcement agencies they believe they have overstepped their powers and thats the way somehow to make us safer. Thats obviously something thats going to be debated about a lot in the weeks ahead. Abby imforeign relation is
one those issues and most important issue for Many Americans but one i think identifies parties right now. Are you on the side of President Trump where he wants to build that wall and get rid of sanctuary discuss or are you where some of the democrats are and talking about abolishing ice . I do think there is probably a space in the middle that doesnt often get a voice or often get talked about. The president , this is what he got voted on and campaigned on. Doubling down on the border. He has some people that are on his side that are fighting with him. One of those is the governor of texas. Greg abbott who was on this show yesterday. And here is what he highlighted. Whats going on in philadelphia is like an alice in wonderland story where its topsyturvy where the mayor is blaming ice or the federal government for trying to enforce the laws for being the cause of this. That is insanity. It is the sanctuary city policies that both attract and allow in people who commit these heinous crimes just exactly what happened to kate steinfully san francisco, what happened in
philadelphia is not the only story like this. But going back in fedex texas, we passed that law two years ago to make sure that we would not have occasions like this. Pete hone in on one word he said attract. They also become a magnet. If you know that your sanctuary city. People who might have nefarious intentions probably go there more likely than somewhere that cracks down. Ed he mentioned philadelphia wasnt that the mayor who did the dance. Pete roll a tape on that. Abby i cannot highlight the importance of congress through all of this. You have the blame put on ice agents. Blames put on individuals and, yet, we have not passed an Immigration Law that really has been effective that helps define the country. Ed republicans have control of the house couldnt pass the bill. House republicans could not pass a bill. Remember a couple months ago . They utterly failed. Abby send us your thoughts on that friends foxnews. Com. A lot going on this morning. I want to bring you of those headlines we are all watching closely. A Massive Wildfire doubling in size in the state of california. The holy fire scorching more than 19,000 acres now with 10 contained. Thats outside of los angeles. The man, seen right there, accused of starting the fire, making several outburstbursts in court. Gordon clark calling the judge a liar when he was read his felony charges. Smoke from more than a dozen burning wildfires are traveling thousands of miles to new york city. Can you see there the smoke not yet affecting the east coast air quality. Thats according to the National Weather service. And theres this. The navy frantically searching for a marine who went overboard in international waters. The uss essex reporting that the marine missing near the philippines thursday morning. Search and rescuers covering more than 8,000 miles of water so far. The marines family, they have not been notified. Officials are not releasing their identity while the search is still underway. Hoping for the best there. We are watching this one as well. Paul manaforts trial is mysteriously delayed for five hours without any explanation. This all happened yesterday. It comes as prosecutors were hoping to finish calling the witnesses to the stand. Still unclear if its connected to a complaint filed by special counsel Robert Muellers team claiming that judge t. S. Ellis has unfairly criticized them in court. Manafort, he is accused of committing tax and bank fraud through his political work in ukraine. He is, of course, pleading not guilty. And theres this. Confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will begin next month. The September 4th hearings are expected to last between 3 to 4 days. Republicans are hoping to get kavanaugh seated on the high court as early as october. President trump nominating kavanaugh to replace retiring Justice Anthony kennedy. Ed a little battle coming. Pete in the future, we are are going to talk it about the new Border Patrol chief. They have a chief making history. The first woman to have the job. I guarantee you i may be the first but i guarantee you i wont be the last female chief of the Border Patrol. Pete an exclusive sit down with her next. Ed plus, the president has a message for democrats get behind nancy pelosi. I have a feeling dan bongino might endorse her as well. I dont know. He is coming up have your own way you can call it harmonica interrupts sighs and chuckles sorry, are you gonna. harmonica interrupts everytime. Geico. 15 minutes could save you 15 or more on car insurance. She is not lost she is breaking the Glass Ceiling on a dangerous and difficult job. Take a listen. I do realize this is a milestone. We have so many talented Men And Women of the Border Patrol. I guarantee you i may not mae the first but i wont be the last female ahead of the Border Patrol. Make sure that the public truly understands the sacrifices that they make. How dedicated they are to protecting the country and to securing our borders and ultimately, you know, Border Security is national security. I need more Men And Women, i need more technology i need more wall. Politicians are criticizing not just policy but agents themselves. Do you see this taking a toll on them . Definitely i think it takes a toll on their morale. I have said this before and i will say it again. We dont leave our humanity behind when we report for
duty. The majority of our Men And Women are parents. Im parents myself. Law enforcement is a difficult job. In my 26 years in Law Enforcement, both as a local Police Officer and as a Border Patrol agent, i have had to separate parents from their children. Its not an easy task. But, when you violate the law, and it is a violation of law to cross the border illegally between the ports of entry, then there needs to be a consequence. Or core values are vigilance, service to country, and integrity. And i want to ensure that we continue down that path. Griff she has lived the life of an agent. She has been assaulted by drug cartels. We will hear a lot more, guys, about chief provost. She is ready to take the task ss been given by the president and secure the border with the resources she needs. Abby boy, does she have a lot on her plate. How much will had boost morale . It will boost a lot of morale. They see someone who started
23 years ago on bike patrol. She has been in the trenches. They know she knows what they face and they have a tough job ahead of them. From the northern to the southern border they have got the chief they need to lead them with this difficult task in front of them at a time when the threat across that border, you know, abby, couldnt be worse. We talk about it everyday. And she is not wasting time getting busy. Ed all right, griff, thanks for bringing the story. Ed still ahead. One states entire Supreme Court could soon be impeached. We will tell you about that coming up. Pete President Trump has a message for democrats support nancy pelosi one more time. Dan bongino is here. Bring him into the picture. He is live next can be a big bad problem for your grandchildren. Babies too young to be vaccinated against whooping cough

And just like tyrone taylor, they know what it takes to help keep you protected. Are you in good hands . Pete senior doj staff bruce ohr will be in the hot seat closed door hearing on capitol hill. Abby there he will author Christopher Steele. Ed Gillian Turner with details. We have the chairman of the Freedom Caucus mark meadows tweeted this yesterday afternoon. Doj official bruce ohr will come before Congress On August 28th to answer why he had 60plus contacts with Dossier AuthorChristopher Steele. Fox news has yet to independently confirm this. And it comes as President Trumps allies including his personal lawyer are trying to turn up the heat on ohr. They are calling for increased attention to what they allege is his role in the russia investigation. The nature and scope of the conflict here. I mean, after he was fired. They fired chris steele for
leaking. James comey, another one that leaked, right . He was still talking to the fbi and beirutor was still taking those conversations. Nont. That plays into this calculus you makes a to whether you will submit to an interview. Ohr is reportedly a friend of former british spy Christopher Steele who compiled that infamous dossier and ohrs wife was employee of fusion gps the firm that hired steele. Has not commented publicly about any of these allegations or department of justice. One doj official noted to absz this wednesday that ohr was removed from the deputy Attorneys Office when his ties to steele became known. Critics of the president contend all of this has been known for months publicly and asked why the president s team is choosing to focus on ohr, now. Pete here to react is the perfect guy dan bongino author of the upcoming book spy gate which talks about a lot of this. New development here. Well didnt know about the relationship. We didnt know the scope of the communications between bruce ohr, the number four at doj and folks that work at fusion gps and the dossier. This has been a year of my life researching for this book. I like to categorize it this way. Spy georgia tech is three not separate but larger subscandals beneath. The first bun is the spying scandal. They were spying using human intelligence we have seen that the second one is the setup and the framing of the trump team, this component, the ohr team this is the information laundering information. Money laundering with information. The probable they had with bruce ohr. Now we know in this is now on the record not conspiracy stuff. This is real. We know fbi source in Christopher Steele who in their own words, pete, was deemed not suitable for use and sekulow was said was fired for leaking and not being a quality source anymore, his information then, which was not suitable for use, was relaundered back into the department of justice through bruce ohr, the number four as you just accurately stated whose wife
is working for the same company hired by mrs. Clinton to gin up. Ed communications had Christopher Steele after being dumped by the finn as i recall some of the messages in the hill newspaper basically had Christopher Steele going to bruce ohr and saying hey, can you get me back in with the fbi and mueller . That he wanted, as you say, to relaunder this information that maybe had been dismissed, the unverified dossier. Get it in the hands of the fbi. Get it in the hands of Robert Mueller . Not only that yes, you are right. Thats the whole information, thats the big umbrella picture. The information laundering information. Some of the messages, ed, are down right strange. One of them says to bruce ohr, hey, we have to protect our guy. We cant send our guy back home. What everybody is wondering on twitter and on the internet now has been researching this like me, i have my speculations, im not going to say tonight air. Who is our guy . Who else was Christopher Steele working with and trying to get information to the department of justice . Remember, after he is terminated as a source for
being not suitable. Let me get this straight. They spied on the president. They started the most significant Counter Intelligence investigation in modern u. S. History against a president ial candidate. And they are using a guy who was fired by the fbi as their primary source who is not suitable . He is working with someone else . One other thing. He also is connected now we know to a Russian Oligarch directly connected. Pete we talked about that. To vladimir putin. So where is the real collusion scandal here . This is amazing this story and in a very sad way. Abby it is. Dan, you have been covering it so closely and researching for your book the past year. Its tough for us to stay on top everything thats going on. Tough to know which name, what does that person do . What is that connected to . Big picture, what should people know about this russian investigation. Everything thats gone on the past year . What is the most important thing in your mind and how should people be thinking of that . That the Mueller Probe in my opinion is a smoke screen. Its a smoke screen to cover for the democrats actual collusion with russians. I have no doubt, listen, im
a conservative, i get a lot of liberals who watch the show and, of course, you are always welcome here. I get they will dismiss that and thats fine. Im telling you the facts i know and people researching this, Gregg Jarrett included, if that happened to a democrat president on my life i would tell you the same thing. This is very dangerous what happened here. They are covering for what they did, the democrats. Pete absolutely. Speaking of democrats, one the leaders much the resistance has been nancy pelosi and the president not a big fan of her except for on twitter yesterday, last night, i dont know if you saw this tweet. Abby used a little sarcasm. Pete little sarcasm here democrats please do not distance yourself from nancy pelosi she is a wonderful person whose ideas and policies may be bad but who should definitely be given a fourth chance. She is trying very hard, and has every right to take down the Democrat Party if she has veered too far left. The reason this tweet comes more and more democrats coming out more candidates and incouple bengts saying we dont want her to be the speaker if we take the house. What do you make of that. We love nancy pelosi she is the gift that keeps on giving. She is a nonstop gaffe master. I ran for office. People say things sometimes you wish you could take back. I could have said that differently we get it the thing with pelosi is she seems to never say anything right. Talking about the tax cuts they are just crumbs. Crumbs to people who are working imagine a coal miner in West Virginia who gets 1,000s dollars bonus and go home with his family and hey we are going to disney world or something. Thats crumbs to them . Then of course weave had the ms13 comment. How do you defend ms13 . Why do you that . Of course, we had the oldy but goody the old well we will find out whats in obamacare after we pass it. She is the gift that keeps on giving. Abby its not just republicans. As pete mentioned you have got dozens of democrats and a lot of them are the new faces and the new blood coming into the Democratic Party. Oconnor one of them. Ed a list thats scrolling right there. Over 50. Abby they are saying they wouldnt vote for her as speaker. What does that tell you about her . Her job is an important one. Not only does she raise money for the party. You are basically the spokes
personal. You are the one that is leading the charge for the base within the Democratic Party. Having run before from a tactical perspective we cant deny the obvious. We do actual news on this network here. She has been effective in raising money. She did marshall through obamacare. So she can whip votes and she can raise money which is the primary goal. Ed she told us she is a master legislator and astute leader. If she was a masser talker she would be more effective. Unfortunately she is not. Thats the downside. The problem she has now some of the more moderate candidates dont like her because they think she is too left and other candidates dont think she is left enough. She is in real trouble. Abby dan, good to he so you. Thanks so much. Pete a Fox News Alert. Airline employee steal as plane taking it for a tariffing ride before crashing it how could this happen . A former faa official is here to weigh in next. H. Might get windy. Have a good shift. Fire pit. Last use 0600. Id stay close. Morning. Get ready to switch. Protected by flo.

You always get the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed . Lets say it in a really low voice. Carl . Lowest price, guaranteed. Just stick with badda book. Badda boom. Book now at choicehotels. Com pete we are back with a Fox News Alert. A suicidal Alaska Airlines employee died after crashing a stolen commercial plane. Ed he took the aircraft from Seattletacoma International Airport flying dangerously close to home. Look at the reaction. Holy [bleep] oh my god. What is happening right now . Abby so frightening. Military fighter jets closely tailing that plane before it eventually crashed on an island. Police say no other passengers were on the
plane. Authorities claiming this is not terrorism. A former senior official from the Aviation Administration and the department of Homeland Security during the Bush Administration now with rosemont streaghtsz strategies. A perfect voice to help us understand. This i dont think there really is enough to go off of to fully understand how this happened but what is your Immediate Reaction . My Immediate Reaction certified mechanic. He has the proper credentials. He understands how an aircraft works. Its off in a maintenance facility. He has total access to the aircraft. Im kind of surprised that we always knew Something Like this could happen and when it does happen, we actually had a system in place where we had air Traffic Control immediately identify this aircraft was not an authorized flight. They contact the military military scrambles. Air Traffic Controllers clear the airspace and monitor to see what this fellow is going to do. It a terrifying scenario, there is always going to be this level of risk when this kind of system. Ed talk about that response and getting the military involved. That is after the plane has already been taken as you say. Sure. Ed the idea that you as an expert and some of the other we have had on earlier. I have had people contact me on social media your experts are basically saying its relatively easy once you are in a secure area to take a plane. I just think thats very jarring for a lot of people waking up this morning. I guess. But what is the alternative . You have a mechanic who has to get on that aircraft, right . He has to understand how this plane works. Which he obviously did. You know, have you got to know your people. Have you got to you know, they do go through a level of background checks. At a certain point, how do you know this fellow is the day that is the day that he is going to finally try to take out the plane and do some aerodynamics he has never done before. Pete thats the point. You cant control for everything. They may have will toed the protocols even before and after. How much screening is done for Mental Health or for
radicalization in these positions that have so much access . I mean, i dont think there is never enough that can you do. But, when somebody decides to do, this i dont think there is a test out there that probably could have found this out. And if you get into the testing, its a level of testing thats incredibly expensive. Incredibly timeconsuming and the carriers are saying okay, whats really the level of risk here . We are trying to find a needle in a haystack thats going to cost us millions of dollars and we will pass that onto the consumer to find some body. I have always been of the opinion of there is a infinite way of people ways that people can hurt us but there is only a finite number of people to do that. So the more money we can shift into that Mental Health, the background checks, the better off we are going to be. Abby scott, we dont live in a Perfect World. I think this is what you are saying. No matter how many background checks do you and look into someone and prepare for, this there are still things that are going
to happen. We should be lucky that we havent seen this happen up until now like this. If anything, we should be proud of the folks that did step in and handle it the way that they did. Ultimately, no one else was hurt in this. Absolutely. The system worked as its designed to work. Air Traffic Controllers right away knew there was a problem. They followed the protocol that got the military up in the air. I dont know what the reaction time was. But im guessing it was probably a couple of minutes. And, fortunately they didnt have to shoot him down which, obviously, could have caused all kinds of side effects. And the fellow either crashed because of his lack of skills or it was intentional. Ed Scott Brenner, we appreciate your insight this morning. Abby good to have you with us this morning. A lot of other things going on. I want to bring you those headlines. Starting with. This illegal immigrant amend convicted felon is arrested for the tenth time in the united states. The mexican citizen is now in custody in michigan and an outstanding warrant for burglary. He has been deported from the u. S. Several times over the course of nearly two
decades. Once released from custody he will be handed over to ice. And theres this. Lawmakers in West Virginia are demanding for the states entire Supreme Court to be impeached. In a court filing approved this he can, would the four justices are accused of corruption, incompetency and neglect of duty just to name a few. The 14 articles of impeachment will now go to the full house of delegates for a vote. And rascal flatts citing a security concern for concert abruptly ending in indiana. Lights turning on right before their encore. One band member suddenly rushing off the stage as guards force confused fans to evacuate the venue.

Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum pete quick headlines for you i swear its not the onion edition. Stormy daniels lawyer considering a run for president. Michael avenatti hopes people take him seriously because the Democratic Party needs a fighter like him. He toured the iowa state fair before speaking at a fundraiser there. The second story, a california democrat is sparking 2020 rumors after making his tenth visit coincidentally to iowa this weekend. Congressman eric swalwell
has instantly increased his profile making more than 200 Television Appearances to discuss the Ongoing Investigation into russian meddling within the last year. I work at fox. I dont think i have done as many hits as he has. Iowa is a key Battle Ground state for president ial runs. Abby, over to you. Abby 2020. Thank you, pete. Conservative commentator ben shapiro said he would donate 10,000 to do so alexandria ocasiocortez if she agreed to debate him. And i would love to have a real conversation with you about the issues. You noted you think republicans are afraid to debate you or talk to you or discuss the issues with you, not only am i eager to discuss the issues with you, im willing to offer 10,000 to your campaign today. Abby the democratic socialist was not having it she tweeted this out. Just like catcalling, i dont owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions. And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one. Is that really a fair excuse for refusing to debate someone . Aerial davidson a contributor to the federalist and she joins us right now with her reaction. This continues to go on, aerial. You know, i thought i knew the definition of sexism and catcalling and im not sure that that fits into that. What is going on here . Hi, thanks for having me, abby. So, again, i think its really quite a bizarre chain of events to draw a parallel between someone offering to debate you and catcalling. Does nothing but to shut down conversation. And now more than ever, i think conversations be incredibly valuable especially between ben shapiro an esteemed commentator and a de vowed socialist. Socialism more and more popular to millennials. Its important to bring them to the forefront and challenge them in a open forum setting. Abby if she did not want to debate ben shapiro either ignore it all together or simply say no. So we did a Little Research and found a tweet back from may when she was running
against her opponent. Here is something she tweeted to him about trying to debate him. She said my opponent seems to be avoid ago debated and isnt acknowledging me. Its just the two of us. So this weekend i stopped by his office, said hello and asked for a debate in person. Im the first congressional challenger in 14 years. The bronx and queens deserve to know their options. Erielle how is that different than what ben shapiro is doing asking her to debate. Slightly different. Those are two political opponents. You hit the nail on the he had. She is there in that point in may willing to engage in dialogue. Now suddenly because a man has challenged her she is not willing to have that conversation. Going back to the allegation of sexism, that does nothing but actually harm real victims of sexism who have experienced those instances. False accusations do nothing to empower women. What really is upsetting for me, at least, as a young woman myself, to have someone make those kind of
accusations and to have them be false is ultimately harmful. Abby why dont you think she wants to debate ben shapiro. Obviously he knows his sufficient stuff they may we hem negligently disagree on the issues. It seems like she is running for office because she cares about the issues she is passionate about. Why not say lets have that debated . What it comes down to she sproble just scared that ben shapiro may be able to out debate her. Thats what it comes down to. She doesnt want to be in a situation where she is going to be challenged. I think when she has gone on other networks. She has been given softball questions. People have skirted around issues with her. I dont think ben shapiro would do that. Abby it would certainly be a fascinating debate to watch. Good to have you with us this morning. Thank you for having me. Abby coming up on the show nfl anthem prosecute protests wrapping up as preseason begins. Enough to President Trump has a new message for those kneelers.

I was kind of hoping that was going to be it, you know . We have a lot of security at airports these days. They had credentials and the ability to get out on the ramp. Were going to get serious about illegal immigration. We cant tolerate Sanctuary Cities. The Nfl Preseason has barely begun and athletes are already renewing their protest during the National Anthem.

Pete nancy pelosi the president

We love nancy pelosi shes the gift that keeps on giving talk about the tax cuts theyre just crumbs. Pete on the plaza, were celebrating National Bowling day and there might be a trophy involved. Pete rick saccone getting into it. Rick has skills but its usually off camera. Abby hes not happy about that. Pete i forget, ed. Ed im used to seeing that. Pete ed has a nice little, like a hop. He gives it a little air. A couple of nice throws ive got to be honest. Abby he never bowls. Ed i dont bowl a lot. Pete i bowl a lot and im a lefty. Still got this smooth, im a little worried i know were going to compete. Abby why are you doing that . Pete because ive built him up to knock him down. Abby good morning all of you its National Bowling day so well continue to bowl at the end of the show. Pete straight up competition. The trophy will be there ed. Abby hes got that spin. Pete i dont know how many frames are we going one or two . Ed youre a lefty too, right . Pete nope. Ed we had a lot of news overnight. Abby we do begin with a Fox News Alert, the suicidal Alaska Airlines employee killed after crashing a stolen plane. Pete he took the aircraft commercial aircraft that could seat 76 people from the Seattle Tacoma International airport, flying it or some say up to 90 minutes before crashing it with just himself on there. Ed and went about 25 miles dan springer is live at the airport with what we know at this hour. Good morning, dan. Reporter good morning, ed, abbey and pete. It was 90 minutes of shear panic and high drama out here. Nobody knew what this guy was going to do. 29 year old Airline Employee as you said, got into a commercial airplane and took off and flew around the puget sound for 90 minutes before crashing into a small island south of tacoma. The video is absolutely amazing. It shows the q400 turbo top doing loops and flying low to the ground lots and lots of people took their cell phones out and took video it just seemed so bizarre the 76 seat plane is made by bombardier and the military quickly sent up two f15 fighter jets that came from portland. They came up in about seven minutes they were here and they followed it and they were ready to shoot it down if necessary. The man who stole the plane worked for horizon eras a Ground Service agent. Those are the people who direct planes to the gate and deice planes during the winter. He joked with air Traffic Controllers about his flying skills even though he was not a pilot. He calls himself a broken man and sounded suicidal. I dont want to hurt no one. I just want you to wisper Sweet Nothings into my ear. Ive got a lot of people that care about me and its going to disappoint them to hear that i did this. The air Traffic Control tried to keep him away from Population Centers they tried to get him to land at first a Military Base and then over water. The fighter jets did not shoot the plane down as it flew south of seattle towards tacoma and then south of tacoma. An hour and a half after the plane took off it crashed in a very small island. Pierce county Officials Say this was not an act of terrorism. There is no indication that he did this to threaten anybody. Theres no indication of any kind of Terrorist Link or anything like that. Reporter the crash happened an Ketron Island between tacoma and olympia. There are a handful of houses about 20 people live there, the plane went down in a wooded area , did start a fire but
nobody on the ground was hurt. The mans name was not released and the fbi is taking the lead in this investigation which is a little unusual. Usually the National Transportation safety board would handle the lead in any commercial aircraft crash investigation; however in this case i think its pretty clear what caused the crash. It was the lack of skill on the part of the man flying the plane back to you. Abby dan springer live for you. Pete thank you, dan. Abby weve been talking about this investigation all morning and still the questions remain but it shouldnt be lost on any of us how sad this was. Every time theres a suicide i cant help but think what was going on Behind Closed Doors. I grew up mormon. Theres a hymn that goes in the quiet heart is hidden sorrow that the eye cant see and thats so well said in moments like this and obviously the employees and people around him they must all be shocked as well and its just heartbreaking that he would rather kill himself than continue to live life in whatever pain he was feeling its just a sad part of the story. Pete definitely sad and scary for people that wake up and say
theres airports like this all across the country with people that have legitimate clearance and access to planes. This guy was a mechanic or involved in the mechanisms of the plane, had basic knowledge of flying and what if someone with even worse intentions were to get a hold of that. What if it had steered toward seattle or the needle or one of the high rises in that downtown brings back thoughts unfortunately of terrorism. Ed talked to various senior senior faa officials like Scott Brenner who served during the Bush Administration and talked that people with access as pete suggested can do this but the good news is that the system actually worked. We always knew Something Like this could happen and when it does happen we actually had a system in place where we had air Traffic Control immediately identify that this aircraft was not an authorized flight. They contact the military. Military scrambles, air Traffic Controllers clear the air space, and then we just monitor to see
what this guy is going to do. It is a terrifying scenario, but theres always going to be this level of risk with this kind of system. Abby we dont live in a Perfect World as great as our Men And Women are that serve this country and protect whether its with our airlines or anything else, i mean, bad things are going to happen and we always have to question how could we prevent it and what can we do better to make sure we feel safer and that this doesnt happen again but to this point given the situation you had the people there responding the pete i think well get another look at background checks for medical health. Abby well the president was up and the white house is very aware of whats gone on and they sent out a statement saying theyre working closely with folks on the ground there. Ed the president has been briefed on the situation and obviously is aware of the federal investigation thats ongoing. Another thing the president is on top of as well, obviously has been Something Else weve been talking about this morning, we talked for a long time about the investigation of the investigators when it comes to the whole russia probe and just
a few moments ago the president tweeted, why isnt the fbi giving Andrew MccabeText Messages to Judicial Watch or appropriate governmental authorities . Fbi wont even give up one. I may have to get involved. Do not destroy, he says, of the messages in all caps. What are they hiding . Mccabes wife took big Campaign Dollars from hillary people. Will the fbi ever recover its one stellar reputation so badly damaged by comey, mccabe, peter strzok, his lover the lovely lisa page and other top official s now dismissed or fired so many of the great Men And Women of the fbi have been hurt by these clowns and losers. Pete to give you a little bit more context, Judicial Watch just tweeted in response to the president s tweet they said as President Trump mentions Judicial Watch is still seeking mccabes Text Messages and other communications of stock, page, comey, and others as part of the ongoing effort to hold the fbi
and doj accountable. They will say the fbi has still not been forthcoming that theyve classified too much, slow walked too much and as a result we still dont know the extent. Ed weve only seen the Text Messages between peter strzok and lisa page, Andrew Mccabe now added to the mix as well what about his emails and Text Messages remember the previous text we heard about had to talk about an insurance policy this meeting in Andrews Office presumably Andrew Mccabe so weve seen peter strzok and lisa page going back and forth not all their messages but some. What about Andrew Mccabes messages the president highlight ing something. Abby i think the biggest word that comes to so many minds is accountability. Where is the accountability when it comes to the fbi and doj and how theyve handled all of this . How is it you can have this russia investigation play out for so long on all the taxpayer money going towards that and yet theres nothing done here. No one, peter strzok and others, after all of this. Ed he was forced out of the fbi
but had there been accountability. Pete exactly only after things were exposed and this sentence stuck out to both of us. I may have to get involved do not destroy of course the president has the power to declassify whatever he wants, and order the fbi to release more and more and more if the fbi wont comply. What does that sentence mean . Does it mean something might happen before the midterm . We dont know well keep looking for those answers. Abby whether thats the right strategy for him or not. Pete he feels like theyve slow walked the wrong things. Ed remember Rudy Guiliani a couple days ago said theres a lot more coming he suggested about the investigators investigating all of this, possible Obstruction Of Justice he said and a lot of the president s critics maybe theres more they know that we dont know yet. Abby all right pete absolutely abby still never going to end is it . Pete its not. Abby theres not to be accountability and punishment when theyre a bad actor. Pete imagine if it had been a democratic candidate. No, really. Abby thats what i always say if you care about the country, care about the job of the doj it doesnt matter what your party is you should care about what has gone on there. Send us your thoughts, friends. Turning to other headlines that were following from here, a Highway Motorcycle Officer and a driver he pulled over are both killed during a traffic stop. A pickup truck slamming into the men on the side of the road the california state Highway Patrol saying that the officer died doing what he loved. He was the ultimate public servant. He loved what he did. He loved being a chp officer. He loved being a chp motorcycle officer. Abby the driver of the pickup truck is in the hospital cooperating with authorities. Hes a 19 year veteran of the force and an exmarine leaves behind his wife and three children. So sad. And theres this, two Police Officers are among four People Killed in a deadly rampage in
canada officers were responding to a call of shots fired in new brunswick. They came across two victims on the ground just moments before getting shot themselves. The accused shooter is now being identified as a 48 year old man suffering from serious injuries after a gun fight with police. A motive is still unclear. Also this confirmation hearings for succomb in my Brett Kavanaugh will begin next month. The hearings are expected to last between three and four days republicans are hoping to get kavanaugh seated on the high court as early as october. President trump nominated kavanaugh to replace retiring Justice Anthony kennedy. And nasa scrubs what would have been a historical launch overnight with one minute 55 seconds to go in the countdown. Officials were forced to shutdown the socalled mission to Touch The Sun after missing its Launch Window the probe is expected to come within 3. 8 million miles of the sun by december of 2024. The launch is rescheduled for
tomorrow morning. That is very cool. Ed all right pete i wouldnt want to be on that one. Ed yeah. Pete i dont think anybody is. Abby that close to the sun . Ed liberal senator is accusing critics of weaponizing identity politics imagine that. Whats that phrase identity politics . That phrase is used to divide and it is used to distract. Ed but i thought it was a phrase used by the left so when will progressives learn its a losing message . Tammy bruce might have the answer, next. Pete plus look whose warming up right now in addition to tammy. Oh, my goodness. Weight lifting. Ed the competition. This got a lot more interesting. You wouldnt accept an incomplete job from any one else. Why accept it from your allergy pills . Flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills dont. And all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. Flonase sensimist. Well senator harris accused the critics of weaponizing the term identity politics of the listen. I have a problem guys, with that phrase, identity politics. That phrase is used to divide and it is used to distract. Abby but still, identity politics continues to be a hallmark of the left, so when will she and other progressives realize it is a losing message . Here to weigh in Fox News Contributor and radio talk show host tammy truce always good to have you with us and youve been writing about this this is something that youve dug into. Well look what she was saying at that net Roots Conference a week ago is fascinating. Theyre not saying that identity politics which is the idea you should vote for someone simply because of who they are, based on gender or race, or sexuality, not about the issues of the policies they stand for. Thats what the left has been invested in so when the name of
it suggests of course that in fact, that using identity politics, calling it out is. But what we know is that in fact americans are rejecting it and i think thats what they are reacting to. They want to still apply it but they want to gas light the American People particularly their own base, into still being invested in it because when you say you should vote for someone like hillary just because shes a woman that means youre not supposed to care about the issues or policies. One thing we do know an independent womans voice survey a group of which im president found that 85 of americans reject the idea of identity politics. They want more women in office thats clearly a goal. We want diversity and of course the nation is diverse but the idea of just voting for someone based on as example if theyre woman is rejected and that includes 84 of women and only about i think it was 25 of democrats think its a good idea , so overall americans are rejecting the concept. Abby you make such a good point on getting lost focusing on
identity politics and forgetting about the issues about what actually drives people to go to the polls. Democrats i think could learn a lot from oconnor from the 12th district in ohio. He was not an antitrump democrat he was 31 year old fresh face of the party focused on the issues he cared about more of a moderate voice. Thats where the moderates come in too is if youre moderate you can talk about the policies. The further left you go you dont want to because your policies are not accepted by the American People and fail and we can use president obama as an example of that. He talked in very vague terms during a campaign, hope and change. When he gets in he of course then implements what were very far left policies but they didnt even know how to implement them. Abby but its a great point when campaigning its not just about energizing your base thats important for the primary but youve got to win the country and youve got to get outside the party. Its the people who rejected the parties, effectively the
average person, the normal who wants to know what are you going to do specifically because his term for example, is over 3 million women fell into poverty African Americans did not do well so we want diversity but specifics and policy that works and that means moderate to center right framework and thats difficult for the left. Abby maybe the democrats could use you as a consultant tammy. I think they know about the answers here. Abby good to have you with us. Coming up on the show a towering tribute to President Trump the inspiration behind this 20foot tall president ial piece of art, more on that. Plus President Trump has got a message for democrats. He says support nancy pelosi. Greg gutfeld, you know you love him. Hes live next. Motorcycle revving
Motorcycle RevvingMotorcycle RevvingMotorcycle Revving no matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. And just like tyrone taylor, they know what it takes to help keep you protected. Are you in good hands . So i put them together and it was originally called the gutfeld hoax and then liars losers and leakers but i thought im going to do this. Abby greg maybe you could run for House Speaker . I think it would be pretty good but they would have to change the podium because i cant see over it. Abby youre a little short . Yeah. Abby what do you make that you do have a number of folks within Nancy Pelosis own party fresh faces coming but also people already on the job saying he want out . Yeah, that could change once everything, because shes pretty powerful. Its like you can complain to your parents all the time but when they yell dinner you come to the table. The tweet though is fan fantastic that grade a trolling its like an insult, disguised as a defense its like saying oh , isnt it great that you have ed henry on fox friends . Pete hes trying so hard and it keeps him busy, out of trouble, you know ed. Ed wait is that a joke . Abby so well played. So true. It is i love it but its a very unique, we have a very unique leader whether you love him or hate him our president goes on twitter and trolls people and its good humored i think thats a goodhumored tweet. Lets face it he does get along with pelosi. Ed these daring deputies that promote her right before the midterm. Exactly. Pete fourth time is a charm. Yes. Pete but you add her to the socialistic from the bronx hes pointing out the obvious that the longer we talk about them the better it is. I do think though the more you talk about cortez i think the better shes going to get because shes going to react to the criticism so and thats why i think well maybe im wrong though. I havent seen the improvement yet but i have a feeling i always believe that criticism helps you. Thats why im constantly writing emails, pete. Pete late at night. Emails, do better, pete. Do better. Abby greg accepting the criticism also is part of that so the gutfeld monologue so people are wondering what that is and if youre watching you know what it is. Watch greg here is just a little snipit. [laughter] pete on crutches you could see the jokes limping toward you. The dinner is now just old news, good job, like the straws you try to ban, you suck, but unlike the straws, not in a good way. The world is getting hotter and its not global warming. Its Political Tension driven by emotion. Who knew the lasting role would be irrelevant gas bag pleasing irrelevant peers . Ed monologues are classic they usually start with scribble on a paper. Yes exactly. Pete where do you get the inspiration every day . I woke up every morning strong cup of coffee and look at whats on tv and whats not been said step one, and what is the angle they havent heard and then i try to make that angle such that its when you hear it you go thats exactly what i was thinking so the viewers when they are listening they go hes saying exactly what im thinking but i havent articulated it like that so its a twostep
process. Whats not been said and what matches the unspeakable truth that lives inside your head. App abby how much do you mention robots and unicorns in the book . 40 is robots and 30 is unicorns. Pete but lets be real here. Your mind works on another plane or analogies and comparisons where do you come up with the comparisons you use to make things relevant . Well, i pretend i use this tip when i mentioned it in the book i pretend that im drunk so i just sit there and go okay, the democratic agenda is as thin as hair, Something Like that, a line that ive often used, but anyway thats what happens and also ill step into the hallway of our pod and if i cant think of something, ill start the
sentence, you know, and ill say like i dont know the democratic agenda is as bloated as, and some will say Michael Moore after three pizzas and i go oh, thats too obvious, besides i used that yesterday but you play ping pong with your coworkers. Its very good. I wont be making jokes about the view any more abbey as long as youre on it. How am i going to do that . Youve ruined the view for me. Abby greg i love you. [laughter] abby all right, go buy gutfeld monologues get your greg in your life. Love you guys. Pete thanks for getting up early for us. My pleasure. Ed check it out, meanwhile, right in the middle of a busy new york street now a cab driver could be in big trouble the video youve got to see. Pete plus we are knocking down pins for National Bowling day, just ahead, ed and i will be facing off one on one, for the trophy on the fox friends bowl

Abby just like a few minutes from now. Ed let me get ready. Abby good luck ed youre already behind. Let me bring you the headlines were following closely starting here reality tv star on and off boyfriend found dead inside of trump tower. 51 year old Dennis Shields was unresponsive in his apartment of an apparent drug overdose. The New York Post reporting that shields asked his assistant to Administer Narcan used to invert opioid overdoses. An investigation it is underway at this moment. Also this. Iran test firing a Ballistic Missile for the very first time this year. Officials exclusively telling fox news that the launch is sending a message to the united states. This after President Trump pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal and slapped new sanctions on that country. The missile flew more than 100
miles landing in the persian gulf. And road rage turns into a brawl in the middle of the street. Police say that a cab driver wearing a white shirt in this video started attacking a couple who allegedly cut her off in new york city. Police say the woman punched a guy in the face biting him in the neck and eventually the 25yearold gets back into her cab and rams into multiple vehicles including a couples nissan with a two week old baby inside the car. The cab driver with a history of assault was arrested and her license is suspended. All right, an artist is showing his support for President Trump creating this 20foot sculpture, placing his masterpiece in front of a home in new york. Take a look at this. Im an artist and this is my work. It is my display to provoke emotion. This community they love it. I think a little bigger would be better. Abby he created this sign back in 2016 showing his support for
then president ial candidate. Before someone set it on fire. Those are some of your headlines out to the bowl bowling ally, rick weve been watching you bowl all morning long.

Well parishing is being brought to life, back to life an ancient elephantlike animal will be sitting inside the university of michigans new museum of Natural History which will open in april very cool. Mastadon. Abby we know what you meant. Pete did you . I didnt. Abby you know whose been very clear about what he means is President Trump when it comes to the nfl and kneeling for the National Anthem this is the most recent tweet because football season is starting again if you can believe it. Pete it did preseason. Abby he said be happy be cool a Football Game that fans are paying so much money to watch and enjoy is no place to protest most of that money goes to the players anyway. Find another way to protest stand proudly for your National Anthem or be suspended without pay. Pete yeah. President making the point youly a game for a trophy at the end of the season its a great game you have the privilege of playing you want to be there for that super bowl we get to watch we love the game, but yet again,
this season, first thursday of the preseason youve got players kneeling again because the nfl didnt figure it out, they thought they did and then they waffled and now youve got kneeling again. It doesnt matter if it happens season after season it remains offensive to everyone that understands how significant that flag is. Ed we have the freedom of expression in this country of course people can protest this is america but you also are in a workplace essentially when youre on a team like this i think is what is part the president is alluding to there and when the boss says got to get to work no kneeling that should be followed but number two we can vote its a marketplace and we can vote with our wallets and we saw ratings dip last year and people going less and less people going to stadiums last year itll be interesting im getting tweets from people saying im skipping the nfl this year. Abby this is when Leadership Matters more than ever as you said ed they have every right to protest in this country thats what living in democracy is all about but if youre Roger Goodell we should not be here a
year later. The nba has not had it hockey has not had it baseball you name it theyre not going through what the nfl has i think this goes up to leadership. Have conversations with your players and say how can we move Forward Together and talk about the things youre upset about. Pete theyve done that and giving millions to social justice causes for the player association. Abby not enough though, pete. Pete well theyre not doing enough to enforce their own rules to just stand for the National Anthem. Its not that hard. Thats what the president said you want to play in the nfl stand for the anthem thats what jerry jones said with the cowboys he said if youre on Americas Team you stand for the anthem. Ed and that quarterback said were going to stand and earlier we had sargent tim kennedy retired mma fighter a rock war veteran and here is what he said about what the flag means to him come over to my side and look at that flag being folded slowly, carefully deliberately and then handed to a widow or a mop, handed to a dad that just lost their son in a war like ive seen that countless times and seen that flag flying in
bases being over run by taliban and i. C. E. And al qaeda. Friends of mine doing absolutely everything in their power to keep that flag flying, and to have the National Anthem come on and you use that as an opportunity to disrespect the flag while its trying to promote some issues its the wrong time. Abby so that veteran and every other person in this country that serves, they are the reasons that we get to live in this country and do what we do. They are the reasons these players get to kneel. They are the reason we get to sit in front of this camera and talk every morning to our wonderful viewers. Theres got to be another way to move forward if we cant stand or respect that flag, who are we pete or this is just going to continue. Ratings continue to drop they get called out by the president this is a cultural issue hes clearly passionate about. Figure it out nfl or more of us
abby go have conversations and go to the white house and sit down with the president and tell him what youre frustrated about what we need to do as a country and what you think we should do. Ed a lot said they dont want to sit down with the president and you heard spike lee telling cnn i dont want to talk to the president hes not my president. So how do you have a conversation if you dont even want to sit down with the man . Abby send us your thoughts on that. How is the trophy ed . Ed well its raining outside and we want to cheer people up but i want to cheer up pete because i feel bad when we were bowling like i left him in the gutter. So were going to cheer you up on this dreary day and cody johnson performing in our allamerican summer Concert Series yesterday and up next an encore from his new single on my way to you.
