I make it a point every thursday morning to read your column. I thought you were sending a message that you think things are quite dire right now. Yeah. Look, weve had these two tragic brutal massacres in dayton and el paso, and the response of some members of the democratic president ial Campaign Field were to say the president of the United States is responsible. Thats the word that was used for example, by cory booker, thats the word that was used by Robert Francis orourke. That was the word used by Elizabeth Warren and bernie sanders, to hold the president of the United States responsible for the murders pip think thats beyond pale. Our country doesnt need that kind of divisiveness in it. Vice president biden, senator warren and senator sanders all use the occasion of the massacre in el paso to send out fundraising pitches. Elizabeth warren asked for money for democratic senatal candidate, biden asked for money for his own campaign. Bernie sanders asked people to sign a petition condemning President Trump. Obviously, the idea was to collect those names so they could be solicited later for his campaign. I mean, are we really at the point in our history, in our politics, that political candidates think they can raise money in the after math of a terrible massacre of innocent civilians. Dana there was another incident having to do with people donating money from campaigns. And that is that joaquin castro, brother of the president ial candidate, basically decided to take it upon himself and tweet out a list, list that is available publicly, but tweet it out and draw attention to people who have donated to President Trumps campaign. Our friend Donna Brazile talked about it today. Lets listen and get her take. When you decide in a political rally, on twitter, social media, to put names out, you put people in jeopardy. You put them in jeopardy because you dont put the context. This is a First Amendment right to contribute to any candidate. Dana your thoughts on this whole controversy, carl . I agree with donna. This is thuggish behavior. This is an attempt to shame people into not contributing to political candidates with which castro disagrees. He did so by picking up people in the San Antonio Community who he thought were prominent business people. Theres a popular barbecue restaurant, bill miller barbecue. He picked out one of the owners of the barbecue joint. The clear purpose of that was to discourage people from going to that business. To physically harm that business by discouraging people from coming. This has an effect. Might affect the owner of it. Its going to affect the people sitting behind that counter who are making those sandwiches and cleaning up those tables and waiting on the customers in that restaurant. I thought it was thuggish behavior and shame on castro for doing it. Dana i wanted to get your take on this, also. Some democrats have been saying they really want to overturn citizens united. Governor Steve Bullock continues to talk about dark money and the problem about that in the campaign. Does this give people a reason to say, we should be able to donate . Its our First Amendment right to do so and be protected from it . Theres two issues here. Yes, they have a constitutional right under the First Amendment of the United States constitution, right of free expression. Contributing to a Political Campaign is that right. But with regard to the issue of dark money, i dont remember these democrats screaming and yelling about socalled dark money when, for decades the league of conservation voters used so called dark money for the dirty dozen. I dont remember a single one of those democrats who today are upset about dark money criticizing the naacp voter fund for using so called dark money in 2000 to run a Television Ad calling george w. Bush, governor of texas, a bigot. This is just, to me, hypocrisy of the rank and order. Going back to Joaquin Castros attempt to dock his constituent, this is dangerous. This is the kind of thing they do in third world countries run by colonels in mirrored sunglasses, not in the United States of america. Dana in the time we have remaining, i wanted to ask you about anything will get done legislatively or by executive order . Apparently the nra was able to talk to the president. Then they tweeted this. Vast majority of gun sales including internet and gun show sales are already subject to background checks. None of the current proposals would have prevented these tragedies. So true, based on what we know. But do you think that there is momentum gaining and president ial backing for some sort of action here . Well, i think in the after math of an instance like we had, these terrible tragedies in dayton and el paso, people say, cant we do better . There will be energy. Youre right. The current background check laws, both of these individuals could legally purchase these guns. But theres gonna be a desire for doing something. I dont know exactly how it will be worked out. As a country, we need to know that we are making our community safer. My sense is the president wants to be responsive to that. Lot of members of congress, we saw for example, congressman turner, republican of dayton, said we havent been in favor of certain gun control measures, but im in favor of forward action. We need to do something about this. Thats powerful in a moment like this. Dana speaking of mayors, theres 214 mayors basically saying we really must do something. What about that push from the ground up, from the bottom up, from local communities to washington . Is that effective . Well, it is to some degree. I mean, some of the two of the mayors were the mayors of dayton and el paso. I know the mayor in el paso, a former republican state legislator. Wonderful guy, terrific wife, wonderful couple, and he cares deeply about his community. Yes, in the after math of Something Like this, were likely to see community leaders, particularly those whose communities have been touched by gun violence. Whether it will stop the next incident, lets be honest. Theres no way unless we go down tk route of australia which literally confiscated literally every gun in the country in the after math of some significant mass shootings. But weve got the First Amendment which guarantees the right rather the second amendment. Not as easy to do it in a legislative fun none if you want to reach that goal. Dana we encourage everyone to read your column today. We appreciate you coming on. Karl rove, thank you. Thank you. Dana the mother of the el paso shooting suspect making some disturbing claims with the familys lawyer saying she contacted police just weeks before the deadly rampage to ask about the type of firearm that her son owned. Jeff paul is live in el paso with this update. Jeff . Reporter yeah, dana. The mom of the suspected shooter apparently made this phone call purely seeking information. The lawyer for this family said the mom called the Police Department in texas to see if someone like her son, that age, could have this type of firearm. The call was not made because she thought he was any sort of threat. She did not leave her name and did not leave the name of her son. A Spokes Person for the Police Department said they arent aware of this call. Were also learning more about the response from police once the shot started that were apparently incredibly selfless. They have a policy that they wait on the other officer to go in. Part of the direction thats given, if no ones there, you need to go in. We had an officer go into the walmart by himself without waiting for backup in order to attempt to stop what was going on. So we had extreme heroic actions that took place by our officers. Reporter investigators also saying once those shots started and they got the call, officers were here within six minutes. Dana . Dana jeff, where is the investigation headed now . Reporter the police chief touched on that. Its going to have to do with getting some evidence out of the walmart after the shooting. Lets take a step so you can see. Something changed here. They now have a fence outside the entire perimeter. Part of that is because the police chief said some of the things they will be bringing out of the walmart, the scene of this mass shooting, some of these items are incredibly gruesome. The scene, as i explained to the media on, i believe saturday or sunday, was a horrific one, something that no one should ever see. Needless to say, that particular event, it will be burned in peoples memories as far as the investigators. Reporter Memorial Services are already under way for what is set to be a very somber week of saying goodbye. Dana . Dana jeff paul in el paso, thank you. Major immigration rate in mississippi. Ice agents arresting 600 migrants working at Food Processing plants. The acting director of ice said it was the largest work place sting in more than a decade. Steve . Reporter more than 600 agents were involved in this raid, what ice agents are calling the largest single state employment action in history that hit six different cities around jackson, mississippi, mainly targeting chicken processing plants. They surrounded the perimeter of those plants and checked i. D. s and documents. If people were not able to furnish proof of residency, then they were taken by bus, zip tied, taken to an airport hanger where they were processed. Some were arrested, some will be deported immediately, others will be leased. Some of those released will be wearing ankle bracelets. Im told those who were detained initially and released for humanitarian reasons, are being shipped back to the point from where they were detained. Whether it be canton or bay springs or morton, if they are being leased for humanitarian reason, they will be put back in the same situation they were found this morning. Reporter now, this raid happened for many during the first week of school, so at least temporarily there have been a number of children separated from their parents. Weve really seen members of the Community Try to step up to do what they can. Some communities really scrambling. One owner opening up his gym as a temporary shelter for some of the children. Others helping with friends or relatives. School bus drivers even told not to drop children off at homes unless they have visual evidence that a parent is in that home. Dana, back to you. Dana thank you. Former Vice President joe biden not holding back during his iowa speech yesterday, as he linked the president to the el paso mass shooting and the rise of White Supremacy in america.

Boycott soul cycle boycott soul cycle boycott soul cycle dana antitrump activists are calling to boycott soul cycle and equinox after learning the owner of the Miami Dolphins plans to host a fundraiser for President Trump out in the hamptons. Ross is chairman of the Parent Company equinox and soul cycle. He said i have always been an activist in the democratic product. I have known donald trump for 40 years. I have never been bashful about expressing my opinions. I have and will continue to support leaders of both sides of the aisle to address these challenges. Lawrence jones editor and chief of campus reform and Fox News Contributor. Hes also an equinox member. I think you like to go to the gym. Was it less crowded today . Yeah, it actually was, you know. Look, i go there. Its a clean gym. Its the cleanest gym in town. But its very liberal. Not like you see fox news all over. Dana i go to equinox, too. Theres never fox news on. Maybe one time i saw it. Sometimes in the morning theyll do it. For the most part, very liberal. You can see the political stances from the members in the gym. That was never a problem for me because i just wanted a clean gym. At this point, what else will they boycott . Every single thing they dont want to do any more. Dana in the commercial break i was saying if youre left of center, you had to cancel your New York Times membership because of a headline and you cant go to equinox or soul cycle. They dont like quick fila. Every place i want less crowded, theyre boycotting. Dana President Trump, the campaign had a tweet. They said, or a statement. Hes a Great American exercising his First Amendment right in regards to steven ross. Equinox is like, dont blame us. Neither equinox or soul cycle have anything to do with the event this week and do not support it as is consistent with our policies. No companys profits are used to fund politicians. They could have done all of that and not said the part about do not support it. They said we have nothing to do with it. They have to get in there. Right now during this pr crisis, this is what they had to do. At the end of the day, its a bad standard to set that we start boycotting. The fact that a member of congress decided to do that is problematic. Theyre doing that on college campuses. Just like the university of texas. Dana let me show you this tweet from kenny stills with the dolphins. He was talking about ross foundation. He said you cant have a nonprofit with this Mission Statement then open your doors to trump. Nonprofit basically says educate and empower the Sports Community to eliminate racial discrimination, champion social justice and improve race relations. How widespread is that belief though . I think its pretty well dyed into the coiffe. People are missing the point. When businesses get involved in politics, the people that are business owner, theyre supporting it from an economic standpoint. Like i said, the economic agenda of equinox versus the people that are in the equinox is much different. So i think dana i believe, wasnt it equinox, it was many gyms. When the tax reform bill got pushed through, a lot of these places were able to buy new equipment that they were able to depreciate. People will tell you the gym market is a tough market to break into and stay into. This is the trump tax cut that theyre investing more. There are people that castro went against donated to castro as well. Is it really a political thing . Dana i dont remember boycotting anything. I dont care enough. I come there for a service. If you can do that service, then i support you. If you cant, ill leave. Dana not only that, they need to think about the people who work behind the counter. The people keeping the gym clean, the employees there. Theres no need to punish them. I love them the same. Like, i dont care. Dana we care about you. Guess what . Youre going to be on the five. Hows your one more thing . Its going to be good. Dana if youre filling in you got to nail it. And keep it short. Dana you listen well. Lawrence jones, see you in a couple hours. Online extremism is a major topic in the wake of the shootings in el paso and dayton. Tomorrow the white house will host a round table with internet and technology companies. Did this get pulled together very quickly . Reporter very quickly, dana. Online radicalism and extremism in the president s cross hairs in the wake of revelations that both those shooting suspects in el paso and dayton had posted threats of violence online and on various social media accounts. The president tweeting yesterday, meanwhile, the dayton, ohio shooter had a history of supporting bernie sanders, Elizabeth Warren and antifa. I hope other outlets will report this. Democrats are saying President Trump, himself, is a big part of the problem. Joe biden out on the campaign trail yesterday pointing to the president s own presence on social media. Take a listen. Hes poured fuel on the fire. Hes retweeted postings from extremists and white nationalists. Hes cutting funding. Reporter keeping terrorists and extremists off social media has caused persistent headaches for big tech for years. Facebook, twitter and you tube have all faced down criticism for what content they allow on their platforms and what content they keep off. But now experts say Smaller Companies are also getting drawn into the frey, pointing to platform used by the el paso shooter known as eight chan. Dana, the white house says it plans to Host Technology companies tomorrow to talk about violent online extremism and what President Trump calls social Media Censorship of conservatives including himself. Sources tell fox news, dana, the president is also mulling over an executive order to tamp down on some of this as well. Dana all right. That will have a big impact. Thank you, gillian turner.

Dana former Vice President joe biden connecting President Trump to the mass shooting in el paso saying trump has fanned the flames of White Supremacy in this nation. Joining me now Richard Fowler a radio talk show host and Fox News Contributor and liam donaldson. Take a listen to what biden said yesterda yesterday. Were living through a rare moment in this nations history, where our president isnt up to the moment. Where our president lacks the moral authority to lead, but as a sitting president , chomps anger, hate, divisiveness, pitting americans against one another, preying on our divisions and doing nothing, nothing, about the endemic and epidemic of guns. Its fueling a literal carnage in america. Dana let me start with you in reaction to the former Vice President s attempts to basically try to take on donald trump yesterday. Well, i think this is an area that bidens campaign feels very comfortable on. He launched his Campaign Around the themes of charlottesville. Seems like an interesting choice of time, but now it seems its come full circle. Showing they can take on the president and be the one in november thats gonna carry the democratic flame. Hes walking a tactical tight rope between giving the base that they want while not alienating the folks hes gonna need come november. Dana richard, i dont know what youre going to say, but i will ask it anyway. Did the Vice President go too far and step over a line . I dont think the Vice President went too far. Liam is sort of right. Joe biden, for him to win and get the general election, he has to continue doing this. He has to continue showing its a one on one race between him and donald trump. Polls speak to that. One interesting tidbit to point is there was a recent millennial poll done by harvard iop. They indicated one of the top issues for young voters is the ideal of president ial leadership. What we saw from this president is lack of that leadership. I think joe biden is playing into that very well. Dana liam, what about that . The president did what other president s do, right . He got the information. He pledged support to the community. He visited the community. Pledged to work on some possible legislation. How is that any different than other president s . I think this president , for all his strengths, there are certain notes he has trouble sounding. Communicating empathy, things of that nature arent a natural place for him. But theres also just, hes greater in a different curve than most president s. Its been an interesting and turbulent last two years. So this is an opportunity for everybody to really bring wood to them, i would say. Dana speaking of that, mayor deblasio, president ial candidate, he was on hannity last night. I caught it. Listen to this part about healthcare for Illegal Immigrants im asking you a question. Every new yorker. Everybody. Illegal or legal . Folks go to the emergency room because they dont have a doctor. Whos paying for it . The same tax payers. Just to be clear, 500,000 Illegal Immigrants in new york city should get free healthcare. Thats what you just said . Everybody who lives here should get the healthcare they need so that everyone can be healthy, not get each other sick. Even if theyre illegal . Dana this was a harken back to that first debate msnbc debate the first night when all ten democrats raised their hand, or nine of them did, that Illegal Immigrants here should get free healthcare. Deblasio doubling down on that last night. This is a tight rope for democrats, dana. We saw that there. Democrats have to want to appease voters who have unadequate healthcare as well as dealing with the reason the healthcare cost continues to slope upward has everything to do with the fact there are folks in our system who are going to the emergency room as their form of primary care physician. Democrats have to find a way to nuance those two positions. Im not sure medicare for all is the answer. What youre seeing from pete buttigieg, some of the moderate candidates, the Affordable Care act and what can we add on to it to make it better so we can decrease the cost curve. Dana after they all raised their hand, do you think theres any room for republicans are not gonna let up and allow them some nuance. No. I think this kind of appearance by deblasio is an extremely tall strong man there for hannity and republicans to tee off on. This is the character republicans are looking for and hoping for come next fall. So theyre not gonna let these sorts of moments escape unnoticed. Youll see it in ads and messaging throughout. Dana let me show you one last sound byte. This is about taxing the rich. I want middle class people to have a better life. Do i deserve that money . Is that my money . This is my general view of the world. You got there with generous public policies. Im not taking your work. The rich have gotten richer for 40 years and paid less and less in taxes. Corporations in america pay nothing in tax. Thats not america. Thats not america where the chosen few get all the money. Dana when i heard that last night, liam, i was reminded of during the obama years that you didnt build that line. Thats right. Well, and, you know, i guess romney and republicans seized on that, what helped them to victory in 2012. That didnt work out. Those are things youre going to hear. Thats an interesting dynamic. Im not sure that thats the worst thing in the world for democrats to play on that fuel. Dana what about the messaging in a general election . Richard, ill give you the last look. I think the trump economy is good. When you peel back the onion. Yes, wages are rising. But the cost of Everything Else is quadrupling. So housing costs, Prescription Drug costs, Early Childhood education. So these working families are sitting at their Kitchen Table trying to figure out how to make ends meet. Im not sure what republicans plans are to make ends meet. Dana thank you for being here. There will be more to come in the next year and a half. Thank you. Dana joe biden not the only 20 name speaking at the iowa state fair which is always a popular stop on the campaign trail. Montana governor Steve Bullock who won a red state that President Trump also won in 2016. Hillary vaughn speaking with the governor one on one. She joins us live from the fairgrounds. Reporter former Vice President joe biden speaking behind me. On his way to the stage i asked him if he thinks iowa will be the third time is the charm for him . He said he feels good about the state of iowa and his chances, but really, its up to iowa voters. Hes on the soap box now making his pitch for the third time at the iowa state fair. Earlier today governor Steve Bullock of montana was the first candidate to step on the soap box and give iowans a first look at the 2020 field. I played skee ball with the governor and talked to him about what his message is. He tells me progressive policies like the Green New Deal and medicare for all showed that really candidates in washington, d. C. Are out of touch with everyday americans. Thats where hes seen an edge for himself as governor of a state that went to trump in 2016. Get out of the twitter verse and actually talk to people. Im not sure some of these folks out there have even spoken to those obama trump voters. People dont want free everything. They just want a fair job in this economy. Reporter senator Elizabeth Warren is also in the Hawkeye State and visited a farm where an iowa farmer told her some of the progressive policies that are pedalled by her and others might be hard for some in this state to swallow. I would like you to be our next president. I think. I think. Im afraid that rural, especially rural people hear that single payor healthcare and forgiveness of all student debt. Reporter former Vice President joe biden, its not his first time at the fair. In fact, we talked to a man named sparky, whos been grilling pork chops here for the past 27 years. He said he judges every candidate based on how they do when they man the grill. He was most impressed in 2016 with former new Jersey Governor Chris Christie but said he remembers biden in 2008. He said he kept him out of a job. Dana i judge people on how well they play skee ball. How was the governor . She cant hear me. That was a great question. Im a very good skee ball player and i will take on anyone, including Greg Guttfeld next year when we are there at the fair.

That and the rest of the days happenings as fox news continues next hour. Dana apple is facing a Class Action Lawsuit over a program that lets contractors listen to and grade siri recordings. A whistle blower saying workers were listening to peoples private moments without their consent. Hearing conversations about medical information, drug deals and even listening to people having sex. Apple suspending the program after the suit was filed. Brett larsen is here. Thats wrong. But for so many reasons that last part is wrong. Dana thats wrong. The caveat we have to say with all this, this has happened to amazon, google. Google had an issue where one of the companies they contracted with to listen to these recordings, the human assistance, as they call it, they leaked them. They took them out of the building, which they are not supposed to do. When theres a file on a computer, you can get it off the computer and out of the building. Whats interesting, people who are listening dont see any identifiable information. If i say, ask siri a question, wheres the nearest drug store, wheres the nearest restaurant, wheres the nearest bar . That information is gonna go to someone, maybe if siri didnt figure out what i wanted theyre gonna correct it. Dana its just help. Its assisting the artificial intelligence. Thats how the rise starts. But the problem when someone sees this, doesnt say brett larson in new york city on his i phone asked this question from this location. They literally ropbl hear what i said and type that information in. But after getting that out of the way, there are things that we ask of our virtual assistants that can somewhat identify us. If youre asking medical questions and you get very specific about some of the information that youre asking of these virtual assistants, theres a good chance they can find you. What they found with the leaked google recordings was one of the newspaper agencies that got the recordings were able to take them and actually find the people based solely on the information that they were asking of the google virtual assistant. They went to the people and the people said, yeah dana that would be so freaky if that happened to you. It would be outrageous. So what is the company saying . Apple declined comment when we asked. Dana which is so weird. They dont want to comment on on going legislation. They did give a statement to tech crunch that said were conducting a thorough review, theyre suspending siri grading globally. People will have the ability to choose. Thats a fancy way of saying you will be able to opt out. Dana theres litigation. Theres 101 ways to say no comment. Are they alarmed that people are getting a little freaked out by this . I dont think so because, and weve discussed off air. In silicon valley, people see the benefit and not the problem with it. This is progress. Dana until its too late and congress is like, why dont you come talk to us. When Arnold Schwarzenegger is knocking on your door asking for sara conner. Dana i dont use it. I dont use siri. Now i feel much more protected. I use it a lot. Dana maybe want to think about that. Okay, brett . Leave it outside. Brett larson, thank you. New warnings out about irans threat to commercial vessels in the strait of hormuth saying tehran could jam the ships gps. Ellison barber has more from jerusalem. Reporter hey, dana. Jamming gps signals and potentially luring ships into iranian waters, the u. S. Maritime administration is telling vessels that operate in the persian gulf, the strait of hormuth, the arabian sea and the red sea they might encounter things like gps interference and communication spoofing with little to no warning. Theyre also telling u. S. Flagged commercial vessels they should send their transit plans to american and British Naval authorities before traveling in this area. Iran has seized three tankers in the persian gulf since last month including a british flagged oil tanker and crew of 23. That ship was presumably seized in retaliation for the british navys role in seizing an iranian tanker accused of violating sanctions related to syria. Maritime administration cited sick incidents, dating back to may in their advisory. They say heightened military activity and Political Tension continue to pose serious threats to commercial vessels in the persian gulf. Iranian officials issued a warning of their own today. This one coming from the countrys defense minister during a Conference Call with counter parts in kuwait, omar and qatar. Said a u. S. Led Maritime Coalition will increase instability in the region and that any involvement from israel would be, quote, highly provocative and potentially have disastrous consequences. U. S. Secretary of state mike pompeo said the u. S. Asked 60 plus countries to join u. S. Led ef forts protect commercial shipping in the gulf. So far only two countries, the uk and israel, have said they will join the u. S. In those efforts. Irans defense minister on that Conference Call today, called on gulf countries to enter into constructive conversations to try and move towards their own Maritime Security plan in the gulf. Dana .

I dont know a ton about sports, although i know more than people think. It is a good book. Im better than people think. All i have a couple secret sources. What do you think about you grew up playing sports. I did. Dana you write very lovingly about southwest virginia. Sports to you meant what . Everything. It was everything. It was our outlet. I grew up in an area where our parents shoved us out the door in the morning and said dont come home until we yell for you to eat dinner. We played football, basketball, wiffle ball. Thats all we did. Sports give you this unbelievable opportunity to learn selflessness, to learn accountability, to learn team work, to learn sacrifice. I heard kobe bryant discussing that very recently with our carry champion on espn. And its sad. Seeing what you just read, saddens me. Dana do you think partly its because people are afraid of injuries or even to tell their kids to go outside and play . I dont know why. I dont understand it. Except for the amount of stimulus thats coming at our young people today. Like, i have three young children. They would rather sit on their i pad than be outside playing. Im a little bit of a hard headed daddy and i tell them to get out there and play. I think its just this world. Do you know what i fear . I fear theres going to be a generation that cant do what you and i are doing right now. Dana communicating . They cant meet, look each other in the eye and communicate because theyre texting that to each other. Scare mess. Dana in the mean time, you have covered this industry for a long time. Look at his beautiful family. Thats in ocean city, new jersey. Is that right . Yes, it is. Dana im interested in the issue of sports betting. A rod was on maria bartoromas show. He had this so say. It opens it up, makes it more interesting. Its weird that were advocating gambling, but when youre trying to attract eyeballs, games, baseball you can bet on a 20 pitch, 21 pitch. When you think of the game being slow, you can make that slowness part of your asset. Dana im interested in this. I was talking with governor christie. He said when he signed the bill in new jersey, they anticipated 1 billion in revenue. Almost 2 billion in revenue. Do you think this is a good way to go . I dont know whether its good or bad, but its happening. Its not going to stop. Its only going to grow. I think thats where were going. Even at espn we have a show called the daily wager. Big step. Dana wow. Sports betting is here and its not going anywhere. Dana do you have an opinion about the kind of the collision of sports and politics that weve seen in the last few years . No. Dana okay. Im not gonna discuss that one. Dana stay away from it. Its the smartest thing for me. Dana theres this wonderful story in the book about olivia quigley. We have a picture. Tell me about this story in the book. I met olivia in the 2015 Special Olympics world games in los angeles, california. And she was seeded all alone by herself, which was odd, because the stadium was abuzz with excitement. All these athletes who have been told, you cant, youll never, youre not good enough, were doing it. So i walked over and asked her why she was sitting by herself . She said, im just so tired. I said tired. We just got started. She said one word. Chemotherapy. Stage 4 breast cancer, 24 years old. She had autism. And she said to me, i stopped by chemo. Im gonna win medals. Im gonna show women all over this world what they can do. She did it. She went and won the 100 meter gold medal and we became very close. She was named one of the 25 most influential women in sport that year. Then when she passed away a year later, an manila envelope showed up in my mailbox. It was a piece of stationary from her mother judy in wisconsin. Because espn had given olivia that platform, their dynamic changed. She told me in that letter that olivia, before she passed, wanted to offer a last will and testament of sorts. There was a black velvet box in that envelope. I opened it up. It was her 100 meter gold medal. It sits on my desk even still today. Dana wow. So never settle. Why did you want that title . Well, in my life. I have been very blessed in this life. I have been afforded opportunity that blows my mind on a daily basis. But im never gonna be complacent. Im going to continue to try new things. Im going to live hard. Dana thats not advice to all of us. Thats how you live. We control three things every day. We control kindness, effort and passion. If were kind to other people and give it every ounce of everything we have and we have an Undeniable Energy doing it, were doing it. Dana this was a great book. Everybody should pick it up for their august read. Stick around. We want you to watch this. Its spikes last day here at fox news. Its a big day.

Then we confirmed he got a call from Wayne Lapierre from the nra who told us that that kind of change wouldnt be popular with his base. Please t
