A look at the days top news and headlines. House energy and commerce committee. And he says that collins violated the public trust. Dana . Dana all right, bryan llenas, thank you. Fox news alert in a different Federal Courthouse. Rick gates wrapping up his testimony in the Paul Manafort trial. Gates saying he has no doubt the government would rip up his Plea Agreement if he doesnt tell the truth. This coming as manaforts lawyers hammered him on his credibility on crossexamination. Peter doocy is live outside u. S. District court in alexandria, virginia. Peter, how big a factor is rick gates personal life in his own testimony . A huge factor, dana. Because rick gates admitted today that the Special Counsels lawyers, the mueller teams lawyers helped him prep for his testimony here for more than 20 hours. So, the Manafort Team jumped in today to ask him well, did you ever tell the mueller lawyers during the prep about the extramarital affair he admitted to and gates said yes, he did. Then the manafort lawyers asked if gates ever told them about four extramarital
the milliondollar wardrobe, the affairs, the trips, the crazy contracts these people have. This is what people think d. C. Is like. You are known by the company you keep this was the Campaign Chairman rick gates as you know right in there in trump tower. Not good for them. But, second, dana, this is bad for the swamp. If im watching this, in oshkosh, im thinking this is what i thought d. C. Was like. People try and tell me this is only House Of Cards . But here it is. Its live. And so, dana, what you are seeing here is that these things do happen. Especially these insane contracts to serve foreign governments. Very high amounts there. But this is rare. But it does happen and were seeing it. Dana one of the things gates testified about was their relationship with some ukrainian connection and how gates would wire do wire
shown in court that day. And if the photos of the suits that we have seen on your air, its the emails from manafort. Its the contracts with these overseas clients. And so people are seeing, getting a road map to how some of the swamp operates. Dana i want to talk about the midterm elections last night. Just the primary elections. That Special Election in ohio 12. We have about 90 seconds left. Tell me the four things that you took away from that because i read it this morning. I thought it was fantastic. We will start with the fact that now we see that every election is a trump election. Date of birthna, the funny thin dana, both sides thinks s works for them. We saw the president go out and have a big rally in ohio. People came out and came closer than it might have been otherwise. Second, we see that republicans and this is why the big the Big Blue Wave is strengthening. We see that republicans underperforming how they did in clinton vs. Trump every single time. And third thing that were
seeing also in Special Election after Special Election were seeing that democrats are turning out. Democrats are more excited than republicans. And, dana, a great fact, today it became official today the most women nominees ever in our History Axios posted the statistics today. Now 172 female nominees for house. There are 11 nominees for governor. As you have seen in michigan, have you an all female democratic ticket for the michigan governor and the people under them. Dana whats interesting about that, too, its not the far progressives that are winning. This is not the Bernie Sanders wing that is winning these elections they were much more your traditional democrat. I will give you the last word. No, thats right. So what we are see something going to be a contest that just as with 2020 the left is trying to get the excitement, is trying to get the attention. Thats where the money is so Many Democrats are say going we can just pull it a little bit this way, like the wave is going our way, the house upset is within reach. We just need to keep the focus on the economy. Peoples pocketbooks. Not on ice. Republican also tell you the president needs to talk about the economy, and immigration less about manafort. Ainsley we will see what dana mike allen, always fun to have you here. As we just mentioned several democrats win in key elections. The Republican Campaign committees about that and who thinks they have the Fundraising Advantage next on the daily briefing. Your insurance rates skyrocket after a scratch so small
dana democrat James Thompson one of the winners last night claiming victory in his kansas primary after a boost from Bernie Sanders and alexandria ocasiocortez. Thompson, however, fairing better than many candidates backed by the progressive duo with several others losing their races last night. Im joined by Meredith KellyCommunications Director for the democratic director. Great to have you on again. Meredith, let me start with you. We will get to ohio 1 in a moment. Overall, your feelings about last night. Thanks for having me, dana. Overall last night was a very exciting night for democrats and our prospects for winning back the house in november. I couldnt be more confident that we will do so. Candidates that fit their districts from washington to kansas to michigan were the nominees last night and thats because they are talking to voters about lowering the price of
healthcare increasing wages and impacting medicare and social security. Those are messages that cut across all party lines and that will carry them to victory in november. Dana matt, of course ohio 12 is one everybody was keeping an eye on. President trump went there saturday of last weekend. Do you think that made the difference in getting this race as close as it is. Right now its still too close to call but how do you feel about that race and how it will turn out . Well we believe Troy Balderson has won and congratulate him on his victory last night. He ran a very strong campaign. And you mentioned President Trump. I think it was a team effort. Absolutely. President trump, Vice President pence, governor kasich, the nrcc and others all pitched in to help. Clearly voters were energized. And, you know, we are in the business of winning seats, period. We have won 869 Special Elections this cycle more than we have i will congratulate meredith on dccc on. They dont get a lot of votes on congress. I am yet to see any big results. Dana meredith, respond to that im curious how you answer. Obviously democrats have done better. The turnout in the the Washington Post surge by the end of june 13. 6 million votes have been cast in democratic primaries compared with 10. 4 million in republican primaries. So, since 2014, the last midterm the republican turnout 24 . Democratic turnout had surged by 84 . That trend appeared to continue on tuesday in kansas and fitch began. To matts point if republicans can point to winning 8 of 9 of these elections, how do you respond to the democrats chances then you . Think you are confident of taking back the house in november. Do results show that as a sure thing. Sure. I have three main reasons that matt and republicans should be very fearful of losing control of the house in november. First of all, there are at least 80 districts that are more competitive for democrats than ohio 12. That is a reliable republican district. That they have had for decades. Trump won it by 11 points. So for us to still be counting votes is a very ominous sign for the rest of the more competitive battlefield. Second, matt nailed it himself. It was a big Republican Team effort. One where they had to pull out all the stops for surrogates and money and that is just not a sustainable strategy in all of the districts that they are on defense n november. And, third, republicans clearly have no message. They scattered around finding different boogie men in every different Television Ad and thats just not something you do when you have a personal message that is connecting with voters. And meanwhile democrats have a reputable strategy and candidate resources to execute in november. Dana of course, we will be paying attention to that i do want to read to you a statement from cory bless at the Congressional Leadership Fund and he says while we won tonight this remains a very tough political environment and moving forward any republican running for Congress Getting vastly outraised by an opponent needs to start
raising more money. Your boss, congressman Steve Stivers who is the chairman of the nrcc this year he has been saying this for well since this show began last october. Are republicans not heeding his warning . Well, absolutely. This is something congressman stivers has been on for a while. And he says money is like using Hand Grenades you dont need to have the most but close. Need to have enough to get your message out and define your opponent. Look at ohio 12, for instance, we were able to define Danny Oconnor as someone who would flip flop on support for nancy pelosi and couldnt be trusted on lowering in taxes. And repeal the tax cuts helping middle class families. Dana what about the money part of things and the fundraising. Are the republicans at a deficit here . Look at georgia 6 Special Election, karen handel was outraised 4 to 1 in last years Special Election but she had enough to get her message out and define john
dana can never get enough of you too. Thank you. Live now to Federal Court in New York City where we are just minutes away from congressman Chris Collins arraignment on Insider Trading charges.

Urging our allies to deny irans leaders the funds to oppress its people implement terrorism around the world. Gillian turner is live in washington. There is a wellestablished iran al qaeda Connection Dating back to at least the 1990s. What do we know about it. So, dana, yesterday was the 20th Anniversary of the bloodiest deadliest attack prior to 9 11. Tandem Truck Bombings that killed 224 people. Terrorism analyst analysts haveg detected irans fingerprints
in those attacks. The 9 11 Commission Report described the origins of that iranal qaeda connection this way. In late 1990 or 1992 discussions in sudan between al qaeda and iranian Operatives Led to an informal agreement. Not long afterwards, senior al qaeda operatives and trainers travel to iran to receive Training Primarifully explosives. Now, yesterday, the State Department had this to say about irans government. If we had reached any type of agreement i think changing the behavior of the Iranian Regime we are not ashamed to say that change the behavior where they take care of their own people and stop their Human Rights Abuses and spend money on their own people and not terrorism around the globe. Making it clear that now 20 years later irans Spawn Sporinsponsor something a concerned, concern, data. Dana whats the latest on american pastor matthew brunson. The standoff over the
evangelical pastors release is ongoing. Each passing day between turkishs capital is growing more palpable. The Trump Administration is keeping the heat on this issue though. Earlier today state Department Foreign officials met and they discussed brunsons ongoing detention right here in washington. Yesterday, Secretary Of State pompeo raised the matter directly with his counterpart in turkey, the foreign minister. And last week the u. S. Treasury sanctioned two turkish Cabinet Ministers as a result of what they say was their failure to release brunson to the united states. But so far the Pressure Campaign just isnt producing the results the administration wants. If we had reached any type of agreement i think you would see pastor brunson back here at home along with the other american citizens. Dana, we will keep you updated on that as soon as anything is breaking. Dana all right. We will keep an eye on it. You are welcome. Dana live in topeka with

inside information about a Pharmaceutical Company where collins served on the board. Also indict were the congressmans son and the father of his sons fiancee. Charges today demonstrate once again that no matter what the crime and no matter who committed it, we stand committed in the pursuit of Justice Without fear or favor. Dana joininjoining me now is judge Andrew Napolitano senior judicial analyst. You say this is not the Run Of The MillInsider Trading case, why . Because of the extensive family manipulate that happene membership membershig his trust as a board member
by revealing the existence of test results for a drug this company was trying to manufacture that failed. Calls up his son and they basically agree. But sell all the family stock before it goes down. This is going to become public in two or three days. She selectively choose family members. They all dump the stock. The bad news comes out. The stock tanks. What they did was transferred their potential losses to other shareholders, which is a criminal offense. Dana amazing people think they can still get away with this stuff. Well, im glad you said that. Because not only, again, he is presumed innocent until Proven Guilty and he has denied all of this. Making that very clear the congressman denies. This the government also indicted him for lying to the fbi so he apparently not only in the governments view thought he could get away with it. He thought he could talk around the fbi. But you know, when the fbi knocks on your door, they know so much more about the case than you think they know. They know immediately or almost immediately if you are telling the truth. Dana let me ask you about another situation that developed today. President trumps lawyers getting back to manafort or im sorry getting back to Robert Mueller about the request to interview the president , jay sekulow writing this we have responded in writing to the latest proposal from the office of Special Counsel regarding its request to review interview the president. It is not appropriate at this time to comment publicly about the content of that response. What do you think is going on there . I think that the lawyers for the president led by former mayor giuliani are negotiating with a team of lawyers from bob muellers office. Because, every time you negotiate, whether its in person or whether its letters going back and forth, you learn a little bit more about the case. The government does not have to tip its hand. It does not have to demonstrate why it wants the president to be there. But the more they negotiate, the more they learn thinking of their adversaries and the evidence on which that think something based. Dana okay. Do i think there will ever be a sitdown with the president . I dont. As strong willed as the president is, i think Rudy Giuliani is going to explain to him this is a treacherous situation for you. Dana maybe he will throw himself in front of the door and say no, you are not doing this. Might come to that. Dana i want to ask you about the gates testimony in the manafort trial. Did you think he was a convincing witness . I did. I wasnt in the courtroom. Thanks to peter doocy and our producers i had a chance to evaluate it almost in realtime. Dana, the defense counsel went after him very aggressively, but i dont think they laid a glove on him. They did it the right way, the government. They acknowledged all of his lies and all of his deceptions. They missed one and almost all the things that he did wrong, which is really an encyclopeed dick example of the swamp that President Trump said he would drain. He had these two guys running his campaign. They were worse than anybody. Dana Robert Mullen is trying to drain the swamp. Correct. Correct. Be that as it may. The government got all of that out of gates mouth on direct examination. By the time kevin d do dow ling there wasnt any sting Left Department neutralize gates . No. Was gates credible . Yes. Were the allegations as lured as they are backed up by paperwork explained by fbi experts and accountants . Absolutely. Dana what did you make of the judge admitting that he is so inpatient . Im not happy with this judge. He is making too much of the case about him and showing extraordinary bias against the government. If you feel that negatively about the government, you shouldnt be on the case or you have to keep those feelings to yourself not manifest them. You and i were talking during the break, the jury cant be happy with this judge because of the inside, snarky comments. Dana maybe entertained . Sometimes judges think they are entertaining. I will tell you this from having been there they always laugh no. Matter how corny a joke is when the judge tells it,
everybody laughs. Dana you know what . Your jokes are actually funny. [laughter] dana judge Andrew Napolitano, thank you. My pleasure. Dana too close to call with kris kobach nearly leading incumbent governor jeff collier. Dan springer joins you now. He is live in boutiqu poo topek, kansas. Just about as close as it gets. How are you doing . We will not have a winner declared officially from a week from now or perhaps even longer. With all the counties reporting their numbers, kris kobach, the Secretary Of State leads by just 191 votes. Thats one tenth of 1 . Kobach is a Lightning Rod for controversy in the same mold as President Trump. He sees this primary as part of the larger battle for the future, direction of the Republican Party. And the day before the polls opened, President Trump defied some of his advisors and endorsed kobach. A short time ago kobach held a news conference. He didnt declare final victory. He cant. He will campaign right away as if its a done deal. Certainly possible that the result of the race could change. But, that said, it is imperative that the Republican Party not stand still for a week. We must begin running the race that is before us. Incumbent governor jeff collier is not even close to conceding the race. He led by a couple points in the last poll taken before that trump endorsement. The counties have not yet begun their canvassing and there are thousands of provisional ballots that have not been added to the count. A n. A Statement Today colyer said this race is too close to call. Make sure every vote is counted accurately throughout the canvassing process. Nonetheless the trump spokesman clearly the president s support was pivotal in g. O. P. Primaries. Yesterday where we nominated exceptional candidates in states including michigan and missouri and kansas where he endorsed the likely
victor in the primary for governor. Whoever ends up winning. Solid long time democratic senator lori kelly. Pundits say kelly has the best shot against the polarizing kobach. The will begin counting process monday and have final counts on wednesday were told and then the loser can ask for a recount. Dana. Dana all right, dan. Thank you. An emotional ceremony honoring a fallen American Hero from the korean war. How one family is receiving a cherished item decades after the guns went silent. Plus, texas senator ted cruz reaching out to President Trump as his reelection battle heats up. I will tell you what he wants in the panel joins me straight ahead.

Chris collins set to be arraigned during this hour after a federal grand jury indicted him on Insider Trading charges. His lawyers say they are
confident he will be totally exonerated. Were live at the courthouse. If anybody comes to the microphone we will bring that you live. There is lots of news today. Well see you top of the hour on Shepard Smith reporting. There are more charges in the u. S. Than people looking for jobs. New statistics from the Labor Department show 6. 6 million positions open at the end of july. Thats about 100,000 more than the number of Unemployed People looking for work. This is the Third Straight month where openings outnumbered job seekers. The kansas republican governors primary still too close to call. Ohio Special Election for Congress Also going down to the wire. As missouri voters say no to a righttowork law on that. Aflcio president Steven Trumka saying we know who is behind this and we will remind voters of that all the way through november. Im joined by matt schlapp chairman of the American Conservative Union and Adrienne Elrod strategic Director Of Communications for hillary clinton. Matt, let me start with you
and when i read that about missouri and basically pushing back by a two to one margin, the state legislatures right to work law, did that give you any sense of what might be happening in a state like that where President Trump won by, i think, Double Digits . Yeah. I look at a result like that and i say uhoh something is wrong in trump country. As you dig further in the state of missouri and talk to folks, what you realize what happened with this righttowork initiative going down by two to one margin it radio was really the baby of the governor, governor greitens. We all know what happened to him. He was in a much deserved scandal and is out of office there was nobody really minding the store in terms of the proponents of this initiative. It didnt have the money that was needed. As a matter of fact, the money that was raised in order to push for its Eventual Success was actually spent on greitens scandal having to hire lawyers and pr people. So dont look at this dont look for larger consequences in missouri. Missouri is still big trump
country. And i think these republicans are going to be just fine and josh hawley has a chance to be senator. Dana what do you think about last night where in Washington State drafts dr. Quite well the voting tuesday ought to set off a Tsunami Siren for two of the remaining Congressional Republicans run for reflection. Both spokane representative Cathy Mcmorris rogers and representative Jamie Herrera butler from Southwest Washington finished with less than 50 of the primary vote. Your thought about Washington State . Yeah, i mean, first of all, Washington State is always ban purple state. So we have got to take that into consideration but the fact that Cathy Mcmorris rodgers in particular who was in Republican Leadership barely got through, you know a very low number for a republican incumbent is very significant. Its going to be interesting, frankly, to look at the exit polls and determine whether or not this was actually an antiestablishment vote or if
this true solid a situation where that district, in particular, is shifting. And, of course, its also important to remember, dana that washington douse have a Jumbled Primary Top Two Go Getter goes onto the general. And dana, a third is mai mail they havent been counted yet. You will see those numbers go up. Dana especially when they come from overseas with the troops. Let me ask you about this, matt. Ted cruz, we talk a little bit about this race. Beto orourke challenging the ted cruz in texas. Said texas is fools gold for democrats. Here is a quote from senator ted cruz telling the Houston Chronicle i would certainly welcome President Trumps support and i hope to see anymore texas. I think we are likely to seat president down in texas before the election. No doubt that would be one a rally for one for the record books, matt, if the president does go down there. Does senator cruz need him to go . You know, of the way i
look at it is this, dana. Every republican, especially running in these big trump states, they want the president to come. And, the other thing about texas you know, texas is one of the most important Money Raising states for republican and conservative coffers. So i think the president going to texas makes sense for a lot of reasons. I would throf see the photo of ted cruz and donald trump arm in arm. Its what the party needs. Im going to like it. Dana all right. Adrienne. What about you . Do you think texas is fools gold for texas or are you getting closer . One of the reasons why beto orourke is closing the gap in this race he is going to every single county rather he has gone to every single county in texas. Many are Rural Counties who have not heard from a democrat in ages. He is having real conversations with the voters. Also important to keep in mind that he has outraised ted cruz. And this is also ground zero for child separation. So having trump go in to a stated that is heavily latino when this is an issue that is very important to
them whats been hang at the border and trump is largely responsible for that and they know it, its very toxic. And, again, you have got to keep in mind a recent pew poll shows that ted cruz is under water. He is under 50 , which is never good for an incumbent, regardless of party affiliation. Dana might have a little bit of work cut out for him. We will keep in touch with it and with you both. Matt and adrienne, thank you. Thanks, dana. Thank you. Dana the pentagon presenting a dog tag to the sons of the unaccounted for from the korean war. Lets listen in. Called me when we originally found this out. And the medal here. Your fathers medal and would like to present that to you. We cant see it . We will drop it down. They are not attached. Can you raise it up just a bit . Thank you. Can we see the dog tag . Does this help . Okay. What does it mean for you to be reunited with his dog tag . [away from microphone] use the mike. Have a seat, please. We were very small children. Could you identify yourself . I am chaplain colonel
charles mcdaniel, retired. And im this is my father, im his oldest son. Im a junior. And this is my brother larry. This is, as i said, very mixed jumbled moment for us. We didnt expect. This we have had a few days. Suddenly we were contacted by the Department Of The Army and said we found one dog tag and its your fathers. When i had heard that there were we mains comin remains comr family started discussing that 55 boxes out of 7700 roughly we were certainly not anticipating. We are really, in one small sense, the most fortunate because were the only ones that have a name now of some connection. None of the remains, we dont know that they are my fathers. But, at least we have this. And were thankful for that. And we thank all those that have worked so diligently to try to protect us and at the same time help us to get our arms around it a little bit. I have to say i didnt think about the emotions that were very deep even though i was a small boy and have very little memory of my father. But i sat there and i cried for a while. And it took a while to compose myself. And im a retired Army Chaplain i have made notifications and all of those are very difficult. They have always been special to me in a sense because i lost my father and someone had to do that for me and my mother at some point. So, i dont know if i answered your question. Kind of rambling a little bit. How old were you . When my father actually left, we were with First Cav Division in japan with Occupation Forces. And i dont know when they deployed about, probably august of 1950. So i was just a little over
3. And when i saw my father last. Larry was 2. Excuse me, larry. Im not letting you say anything. You are doing good. [laughter] he served in world war ii . He did. He served extensively. He actually went in before the war, deployed as a followon Division Medic with the 83rd Infantry Division and served in europe for oh, i think, probably over a year in combat. Served and received a bronze star with bead of ice and some other awards. He was in for quite a while. Got out for a little while and came back in with the First Cav Division. Larry was born 1948 at fort knox. So we were back in the army at that time. [away from microphone] yes, we were with the Occupation Forces when the war broke out and first cav was one of the divisions that was rushed over. Was he a medic . He was medic, yeah, yeah. [away from microphone] indianapolis. He is from. Jacksonville, florida and he is in indianapolis. Can you say and spell your fathers full name . Its Charles Hobert mcdaniel. Charles hobert mcdaniel. And im a junior. Yep. What was your fathers rank . He was a master sergeant. When did you you were saying you broke down. When was that . When you got the phone call . Was it thursday you called or wednesday . Thursday i think it was. It was i remember where i
was the rest of my life. Sitting in my chair and my wife said you have got a phone call i said oh, okay. Indianapolis . Yes, yeah. What time of day . It was about mid afternoon. I dont remember exactly. Where is the story [inaudible] i dont know how much we can get into that. Again, i was very little. I know my dad watched ice cream. He always watched his weight. Some things like that. He was an army guy. Im an army guy, so i understand that. What was the family told about him missing . Was the family told that he was killed or what was the family told . Well, probably i dont know what you did here with your panel, but did they kind of explain the process when someone went missing in action . Okay. You might be a better answer for that really. To be honest with you. Tell them what happens. I was there but i was three and a half. Maybe you are real i wasnt quite as sharp maybe at 3 and a half. [away from microphone] well, me personally, i just vaguely remember, you know, kind of being little pieces of things. You know, leaving, getting in on a ship, a big ship. Getting sick at sea. I think i fell and busted my lips. Those are the memories i have as a 3 and a halfyearold, you see. Coming back to the u. S. . There was a troops ship because there was so many casualties they put the widows and families on a troop ship and brought them back to hawaii. Thats what i remember. The army has been pretty good about with me staying in contact once i found out
that they were over the last few years. They send me notices and updates and, of course, they provide these wonderful events for families to give them a little bit of updates whats going on. I know more as an adult. As a child i remember the emotional things a little bit and going back to my mother had a large family in southern indiana. So we went back. We had aunts and uncle and they kind of took over. Thats the kind of thing that i remember. Larry probably remembers that, too. I have no memory of my father. You know, to me this is a big picture thing. Its all about i mean im proud that my father was extremely patriotic and loved the country enough that he was able to dedicate his entire life for the country without hesitation. But the thing is, he was one
of thousands of guys that that generation that did it i dont think the fact that we found his dog tags should overshadow any of that my memories are all kind of big picture. I have absolutely no memory of my father. You know, i have a picture in my current house in jacksonville of him. And other than that, seeing what he looked like and hearing you a few things people talk about him i dont really know anything about him. I guess you generate your image of what you think about your father for me im proud of what he did and what he accomplished and he was part of a generation of people that did that. Did your mother ever remarry. She did. Yes. She married a doctor on the south side of indianapolis. And he was a great man, too, to be honest with you. He is the one that i know and remember. He was a really fine outstanding people say that but he was. He was an outstanding person. He was a very giving person. Do you have a picture of your father on you that we could see. Yeah. Its just on my camera i wouldnt be able that see. I would be glad to show any of you later. Say it again . Do you have plans for the dog tag . We havent decided exactly. One of us will keep it, you know. We have talked about it. I dont know if we are going to arm wrestle or six months of custody. Im not trying to be too light. Really, were just overwhelmed. I am, that of all of these boxes that came back and all of these thousands of people we are the only one that have certitude on is it
possible . Obviously my father is alive some place and he lost his dog tag, i mean, thats just improbable. So, we have got some certitude now though of reasonable location and all of that. What are the plans for a final Resting Place for your father . Well, we actually just talked a little bit about that. I dont know. Maybe arlington. Maybe up around indianapolis. Maybe, you know.
