Number on your arm so that you can be identified. So there is that take on it tonight. Im martha maccallum. Good evening, everybody. This is the story. Hurricane harvey is where we begin tonight. The president is monitoring this from camp david with his team at the readies we watch this thing as it churns off the coast of Corpus Christi about 30 some miles latest estimate. This is where the toughest stuff begins to eat the coast line. We will go live to Steve Harrigan who is live in Corpus Christi being hit hard at the outer bands of this hurricane. Steve, good evening. Martha, good evening. The edge of the eye wall of that storm conditions to get worse over the next four to five hours. Right now a category 3 hurricane with sustained winds more than 125 Miles Per Hour. By the time the eye crosses over, it could be 30 with a category 4 hurricane. If the scale doesnt mean all that much to you, let me tell what you a category 3 hurricane can do, it can snap trees and take chunks out of wellbuilt houses. Not just mobile homes. So we could be looking at some initial devastation along large parts of the texas coast. Thats not even the worls of it the real problem could come over the next day, two days, three days thats if this storm as expected just sits over the area. Low lying terrain have dumped more than 30 inches of rain on that area, this could produce in the words of officials here life threatening floods. So we could see a 12foot storm surge in addition to this heavy rain and wind. Real problem now and the danger is that the winds are so bad, First Responders cant go out at this point. We are already feeling hurricane gust winds here right along the coast. So if you have decided to stay here, you are on your own. Now police cant come and help you if you do need help for the next few hours. Martha, back to you. Martha all right. In terms of the wind speed, we are understanding it is now a category 4. Steve, thank you very much. We will be back to you in a moment. Lets go to Rick Reichmuth who is taking a look at some of these latest numbers that have just come in. Hi, rick. Rick new update just out from the National Hurricane center a cat 4 storm. So it has increased to a category 4 storm. Winds are 130 Miles Per Hour so we have not seen any weakening of this storm. Put up weather 8 behind me i will show you a couple things here. A category 4 hurricane right at landfall, a strengthening hurricane right at landfall is not what you want to see a strengthening hurricane actually transports more of the wind down to the surface and dangerous thing. We saw this with hurricane charlie and hurricane wilma. Take a look at this imagery right here, martha. We have a new satellite goes16. First time we have seen a hurricane on it all of the storms around the crerpght of it. 20 miles offshore. The eye wall is going to be moving right on shore here kind of between Corpus Christi and port lavaca. Where the strongest of the winds are going to be and the storm surge already pulling in here and in the next hour or so its going to be catastrophic. This is now also moving much slower. So its forward progression instead of being 10 Miles Per Hour is now 7 Miles Per Hour. That means its just a slower moving storm. We thought this was going to happen. That thing saying 8 Miles Per Hour. I think its 7, actually. Its going to pull towards the northwest and eventually stall out. You get the idea, we have seen the heaviest at least on the radar imagery, the heaviest of the storm on the front side of it. Filling in around again back on the other side. If you have got a strengthening storm that certainly would be indicative of what we are going to see. Bad news for the storm surge about to get really bad. Other bad news is the storm surge doesnt go away any time soon. Even though the storm kind of pulls offshore it moving so slowly and stalls and moves back again. We will see on shore flow here keeping to keep all of that water in these bays. Storm surge probably 12 feet. Imagine what that 1 feet almost 6 feet tall double my height storm surge. Rainfall totals 3 to 5 feet on top of that the storm gets stuck here wednesday to thursday of this coming week, martha. Martha this thing build up a tremendous amount of force over the past 48 hours. Rick yeah. Martha category 4 storm. Nobody anticipated was going to get to this magnitude. They are saying they are as ready as they can be. Rick, thank you. We will come back to you as this develops. Thats the breaking news. It is now a category 4 storm. Whipping winds of 130 Miles Per Hour. So, as you know, from recent history, Natural Disasters clearly have a way of bolstering breaking elected officials at times. Everyone will be watching how the trump team manages this storm. In august when katrina turned into a human tragedy on george w. Bushs watch. I want to thank you all for and brownie, you are doing a heck of a job. The fema director is working 24 hours. [applause] martha that was a comment got him in hot weather back then. We remember private citizen trump remarking during sandy in 2012 via twitter which he was using back then. Hurricane is good luck for obama again. He will buy the election by handing out billions of dollars. That was back in 2012 when sandy was touching the coast line. Trump drudge saying this. Trump facing first serious crisis with Hurricane Harvey. It is about to get real. And thats where we are at 7 00 tonight. It is getting very real. And this from Chuck Grassley at real donald trump hurricane. Keep on top of Hurricane Harvey. Dont make the same mistake that president bush made with katrina, he warns. So here now with more, fox News Politics editor Chris Stirewalt and Fox News Media expert howie kirtz. We all remember and it was a similar situation nobody anticipated that katrina was going to have quite the punch it did. It was an august weekend. Everybody was away. Sundayly on that sunday afternoon the reports started to come in and mayor nagin started to say get out. Get out now. This is going to be brutal and its going to be deadly. How is it different now, chris. And how do you think the trump team is going to deal with this. Well, 12 years later the lesson for every politician. It doesnt matter why you do the right things in life often. It just matters that you do them. The lesson for every politician after 2005 was the consequences of failure in a moment like this are so dire that do anything to avoid it donald trump has done the most important things to avoid. It doesnt matter whether he watches it on television or not. Can he go work on his putting. Who cares. What matters are the things he did advance. That is number one. He has a real expert. Not a political krohny. Not a friend of a friend of a cousin of a cousin who is in at the head of fema. He had has gotten his white house staff in order by putting, as it turns out, the head of the agency in charge of this, department of Homeland Security in as the cop de cop in charge right people are in the right places. Martha were all remember Kathleen Blanco the governor of louisiana at the time saying we dont need any federal help. We are in fine shape. Everything is going to be final. It was so not fine that she ended up not being able to run for another term of louisiana really as a result of that storm, howy. Yeah. And i still vividly remember now that heck of a job brownie when the federal government wasnt doing a heck of a job. Reading all these headlines, cnn, nbc, msnbc, trump faces first big Natural Disaster test. Thats true. Im seeing the media making every single story about trump. Salon liberal magazine says trump has already flunked the test even before the storm made landfall. Martha i dont know how can you assess that. It takes a lot of creative imagination. Martha we see it all the time. I was remembering during the Campaign Last august in louisiana there was major flooding and then candidate trump and i think we have video of this visited louisiana and he got a lot of good reaction from that. It caused Hillary Clinton to sort of suddenly say, oh, well we were going to go but we didnt want to be a distraction. So in a way, you know, he has a little bit of history on this. And he did quite well in that situation. Well, the one that he ought to remember on this is that democrats will be every bit as cynical and exploitive about this hurricane as he was of that one. Trump was exploiting that moment. He and mike pence went down. Obama had said, if youll recall, i dont want to go down there because i will be a distraction. I want the people to respond with relief. And trump, Whose Campaign was struggling in august saw an opportunity and went down there for the photo op. And then accused obama of not caring about the people. Democrats will be looking to do equally gross things to him as he was able to do to obama a year ago. Martha yeah. Obviously, this is first and foremost a human story tonight. And there are people whose homes and livelihoods are in the path of this horrific storm. You do expect government to step up. Mostly local government in these situations. The burden falls primarily on the state and local governments here. But there is a moment where people either sort of come out of this situation looking like theyre good leaders or not. Go ahead, chris. I was just going to say, martha, thats true for governors, mayors, president s. Just to be clear, you know, if President Trump doesnt strike the right tone, especially if there are casualties, if fema screws up, we will and should be all over it. But, i think we ought to wait for that to happen rather than prematurely judging him on the politics. Martha wow, what a concept. [laughter] we will do that here. Who knew . Martha i dont know if it will happen elsewhere. Lets talk about gary cohn. Its pretty stunning. The president s Economic Advisor we know had been very troubled by the president s comments after charlottesville. Now he has come forward in an interview and said that he wrote a letter of resignation because he was so disturbed by the reaction. And that he decided to stay because he feels that its his duty to do his job. But he lets put that up on the screen if we can we have the exact words that he used. He said he seriously considered leaving. He went on to say he thought in so many words that the administration needed to do a much better job of handling these sorts of situations to, and i will just read the end of it here, to heal the deep division that exists in our communities. Chris, were you surprised by this . No. He needed cohn needed to get on the record and he needed like others in the administration as republicans have had to do to find a way to denounce or kind of denounce or be anguished or Say Something derogatory and cohn felt troubled by the administrations response and white houses response and he never attacked trump. He never said you did this wrongly, you did that. But, remember, these business guys will do their consciences, i dont know which part of the conscience of all the people who dropped out of the president s council, all of the companies that expressed anguish and angst over all this thing, these business guys, they want that tax cut. And if donald trump does the right thing or the wrong thing about charlottesville or statues or fomenting the discontent and all these things, if he can come through with those tax cuts, i think a lot of these guy also find their consciences suddenly assuaged. He said he is not going to be out of his job by chanting antisemitic slogans. Risking the wrath of his boss. You should resign then. He chose a middle course, stay in the job. But make his feelings clear of charlottesville and the administrations happened ling of it. Martha thanks. Good to see you both tonight. Good to see you, martha. Martha breaking news including this moments ago u. S. Officials now confirming that north korea has fired yet another Ballistic Missile.

The president is at camp david watching it very closely as well according to his latest tweet. We will be covering all of this breaking news live for you here tonight. Also, conservative commentator ben shapiro is the latest to butt heads with uc berkeley. School says they are turning over a new leaf as they welcome students back to what they call free speech year.

Ann coulter was also blocked and this was the sort of scene that we saw back in february, destruction of property, fires rioting in the area. But ben shapiro is determined to have his say when he goes there and they are happy to have him now that they declared this quote free speech area. I wonder what happened next year or last year. They are insisting that the College Republican pay 15 grand for security when ben shapiro speaks there. And this comes days after the schools chancellor touted this new Free Speech Initiative at berkeley, watch. I believe that any attack on free speech, no matter how abhor rant the views are, they are expressed is an attack on the right of free speech for us all. Martha there you go. Now 15,000 man, ben shapiro editor of daily wire. Com. Ben, good evening. Good to see you. What do you think about this fee . Is it fair . Are you going to pay it and what are you going to get for it, i guess, is the biggest question. Young American Foundation has already said that they are going to pay the fee. As far as it being fair, no. I mean, life isnt fair, i guess. They should be providing security. Im a taxpayer in the state of california. I promise you pay much more than that in taxes to the state of california every year. I guess i have to pay for the security twice over. This is what im trying to tell people 2,000 seat stadium opened up. They havent provided the link yet go over to yaffe. Org and reserve your seat there dont show up ready to do battle with antifa. We perceive they will show up to do violence. We just paid so that berkeley did l. Do it. Either berkeley is going to protect my free speech rights or not. Now we get to sees a a nation whether berkeley is going to keep its words to protect free speech wheefn annual tiff if a shows up. The last thing i want is people bloodied out in the street. The whole point is that berkeley and their administration have to do the job they have been pledging to do. Martha we have seen what happened here in the past. We are showing it again. I think one of the biggest concerns is whether or not the police will intercede. In some of these situations we have seen them reluck tangt to get in the middle of it, i guess, in part for fear of causing, you know, things to escalate even further. You see the destruction that happens when they dont. 100 percent. We had this situation at call state los angeles and had to file a salute against cal state, los angeles. Told to stand down. Its going to be a test of the administration and test of the police. Are you going to fulfill your promise to protect free speech or are you going to sound off about it in the press and then allow antifa and far left to do whatever they want to shut down speech with which they disagree. Martha one thought for you on the issue of this kindergartners being taught by their teachers about the transgender issue and the parents, many of them, for the rockman Academy School were outraged. They feel its just too young to introduce these ideas to these children. But, they really werent asked whether or not that was okay before this happened. Its despicable. I mean, the fact is that when you are teaching children about issues that are sensitive like gender identity, you would imagine the parents should have some say in that. There has been new fang gelled attempt by the left to basically say we have to protect children from their own parents. The parents are the real obstacle here. We know better than do you how to raise your own children. We are going to teach children absolutely sigh boys can become girls and girls can become boys. All this is genetically. There is no evidence that gender identity orientation is genetically inability and no Environmental Impact at all. Most who identify as gender confused young grow out of it as they get older. Teachers steveing to children transgender party for one 5yearold and talking to the class about it at the same time. This is really despicable stuff. The idea is to protected the innocence of children not to rip it away from them in the name of 5yearolds making a decision whether theyre a boy or girl. Martha as a kid you are learning about all of these ideas and growing up and turning into the personal you are going to become. We have seen that since some of these cases encouragement to have, you know, to go through process of changing your sex at such a young age. This is only exacerbate concerns among the families and kids as well. Ben, thank you. We will be watching september 14th to see how it goes. Good luck to you. Thank you so much. Martha president obama believes opening up cuba to tourism and trade would bring about the end of things like torture and corruption by the castros.

Thats one of the reasons im here. And that is what the American People deserve and they are going to get it. [cheers and applause] martha that was august 22nd. President trump may be returning to his tough stance now on immigration. The stance that he held throughout the course of the campaign. Reports this evening say that the president is now considered likely to end the controversial obama era daca program which protects young people who came to this country with their parents illegally, and the Program Keeps them from being deported. Chief National Correspondent ed henry has the details on this brand new information on daca tonight from the white house. Hi, ed. Steve bannon may be gone. One week ago from today he was pushed out of the white house. Some of his key policies may remain. In fact, one of the president s top advisors sent me a note earlier saying the nationalism and America First streak from bannon may remain because there are multiple reports tonight suggesting the president is leaning towards ending daca, which could impact 1 million immigrants. It was a move, of course, by then president obama during his 2012 Reelection Campaign that essentially shields the children of Illegal Immigrants from being deported. So ending it could kick off a major controversy that draws the former president into his first direct battle with the current president , mano a mano. Remember, obama warned earlier this year if daca gets killed he might break the tradition of former president s holding their tongue declaring quote the notion that we would just arbitrarily or because of politics punish those kids when they didnt do something themselves would merit my speaking out. President trumps own department of Homeland Security by the way once run by white house chief of staff john kelly has raised questions about the feasibility of ending it though on the other side you see attorney general Jeff Sessions he wants to take a tough law and order approach and is backed by 10 republicans attorneys general who say if the white house does not end it by early next month they will go to federal court to kill it. That is a split within the administration and it may be a reason why Sarah Huckabee sanders today was cautious. The administration has indicated several times before that the daca program is under review. It continues to be under review and we have an announcement on it we will let you guys know. What may be significant is what you showed a moment ago is that the president took such a hard line this week at his phoenix rally warning he is willing to shut down the government unless he gets funding for building wall on the southern border. Some of the president s advisors are telling me privately that may give him the political space to tell his base, look, i took a hard line there. Maybe i can find a more middle ground here on dockca. Perhaps phasing out the program over a few years instead of ending it immediately. Martha . Martha very interesting. Ed, thank you so much. So here now with more Lawrence Jones is the host on the blaze tv and a conservative commentator. Enrique questions is cofounder of k street. Welcome to both of you. Good evening, martha. Martha good evening. There has obviously been a lot of division on this issue from day one. Lawrence jones, let me start with you. If the president does go down this road and prevents those children Franklin County allowed to stay here, it could lead to some pretty tense and uncomfortable moments. But its the right thing to do, martha. Either we are a country of laws or we are not. There are citizens in the United States that have to suffer consequences for what their parents do all the time. This is nothing different. And so although i feel for those children, we have to abide by the law. Martha pablo . No, we dont. I mean we do need to abide by the law. We dont. There is a lot of wriggle room there lawrence. You are not the only one who feels for these people. President trump has said these are incredible kids. I want to put like to put this in perspective. There are three really important points i want to make here tonight. First of all this gets underreported Steven Miller the author of the raise act which proposed cutting illegal immigration in half and everybody pretty much in politics said it was dead on arrival has no longer been accepted into the room. He has no longer been invited to the conversationsinconversationsgoi. That is more of a centrist position. Second of all danger daca is in through the texas lawsuit through ken paxton interestingly enough has been reported as just a distraction from ken paxtons felony lafayette going on from securities fraud from when he was a state representative. Martha just to be clear what we are focused on we are talk about daca or cutting the number of legal immigrants who come into this country. Exactly. Martha legislation by tom cotton which is a separate issue. We are talking about Illegal Immigrants who are illegal in the country and have broken the law as Lawrence Jones says and how whether or not, you know, its my understanding and lawrence, you know, speak to this if you can, that the ruling under the Obama Administration will run out. So this white house would have to reauthorize daca and they dont know. Their lawyers are concerned that they dont really have the authority to reauthorize it because they dont believe it had correct legal under pinning to begin with is that correct. Exactly. This is what happened when you use the pen from the president s desk and not go through congress. I want to know that this is nothing new in american history. Even the africanamerican slaves that came here unwillingly it still took a constitutional amendment for them to be legal citizens. So im not going to pretend like this is something new in america. Even people that didnt want to come here had to still go through the legal process. So i want to understand, pablo, what is different from their situation than people that came here unwillingly and still had to go through a legal process. Martha good question. Pablo. That is a really good question. The thing thats different right now we have to ask ourselves the question should we punish children for crimes that are civil infractions that were committed when they were 6, 5, 4 years old they were brought over here by their parents. Thats what we are talking about when we talk about daca. Again, we did the same thing when africanamerican slaves came here unwillingly and were punished and brutally beaten and raped. Constitutional amendment. But, lawrence, this shouldnt be a competition. Its not a competition. Its the law. The biggest victim. There should be a conversation where the president can really show some amazing leadership here and try something unpredictable. Im going to put it out there. Martha we have to go, guys. Maybe its time for amnesty. I was at the white house the other day for amazing tour the president had us. I noticed one thing interesting the carpet they have in the oval office right now is the same carpet that Ronald Reagan had in the oval office when he negotiated the last big amnesty that made people legal and finally got them right with the law. Now it was incomplete. Martha we have to go guys. Pablo, thank you very much. Lawrence jones, good to hear from both of you tent. All right. So you love your iphone and apple tv and all that while apple strives to be socially conscious they are putting your money into a group that condemns socalled extremists. But the problem is that they consider some frequent guests of ours like the Family Research councils tony perkins, for example and womens right advocate hersy alli in that category and they are being assaulted essentially by this group. Were going to tell you whats going on there. Plus, top of the hour here, fox news confirming that north korea has fired three short range missiles into the east sea. Remember last week secretary of state tillerson pointed to their lack of provocation in reaction to the Strong Language from the american leaders. So what should our response be two former state Department Officials weigh in. Its ok that everybody ignores me when i drive. Its fine. Because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months im accident free. Because i dont use my cellphone when im driving. Even though my family does, and leaves me all alone. Heres something else. I dont share it with mom. I dont. Right, mom . I have a brand new putter you dont even know about its awesome. Safe driving bonus checks, only from allstate. Sometimes i leave the seat up on purpose. Switching to allstate is worth it. This scarf all thats my left to rememb. Sayonara. What. She washed this like a month ago hows a guy supposed to move on . the long lasting scent of gain. Now available in matching scents across your entire laundry routine. The uncertainties of hep c. Wondering, what if . I let go of all those feelings. Because i am cured with harvoni. Harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. Its been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. And is proven to cure up to 99 of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. Certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. Before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if youve ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. Tell your doctor if youve ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. Taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. Common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. Ready to let go of hep c . Ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. Martha quick look live at Hurricane Harvey which has now been upgraded to a category 4 storm, about 130 Miles Per Hour. Can you see the winds whipping through Corpus Christi, texas. We will keep a close eye on it and bring you all the news on that as 2 comes into fox. In the meantime also breaking moments ago confirmation from north korean officials that north korea has launched multiple short range missiles into the east sea. Lets get to Trace Gallagher who has the latest on this tonight, hi, trace. Hi, martha. The number we are hearing is three. U. S. Officials saying one of the missiles failed during the launch process and other two failed in flight. Though they are not saying how far they went. South koreaible media says the Missile Launch from one of north koreas eastern provinces, which son the opposite side of Korean Peninsula from seoul appears to have been a Ballistic Missile that flew about 150 miles and then landed in the ocean between japan and the Korean Peninsula. The firing comes one day after north koreas state run media released pictures of kim jong un inspecting a missile site that appears to show north koreas Missile Program has made unexpected advances. The photos include a previously unseen missile that experts say might be, might be the key words there, the next generation of missiles that the north has already fired. All of this is troubling for the trump administration, which this week said that north korea seemed to be backing down a bit. Remember, last week, kim jong un was threatening to fire missiles near the island of guam, which is a u. S. Territory and considered to be u. S. Soil. In july, north korea conducted its First Successful test of an inter continental Ballistic Missile that could reach the shores of alaska and experts say they may also have the technology to arm the missiles with a Small Nuclear war head. We should note that while the north has fired yet another missile, the uss john mccain is in port out of commission in singapore after being hit by an oil tanker. The mccain is equipped with an eguess Missile Defense system, an effective counter weapon to north Korean Missiles. And remember south korea and the u. S. Military are conducting joint military exercises as we speak in the Korean Peninsula. Martha all great points. Tense times. Thank you, trace. So this north korea news comes as another regime is acting out. An investigation is underway into sudden mysterious injuries and illnesses that are striking at least 16 16 who are serving diplomatically in cuba. One year ago that president obama decided to strength ties with the repressive regime. Now there are suspensions that the brutal dictatorship is actively targeting american diplomats in their homes which by the way cuba insists they live. In recently all this happened with relation to the u. S. Embassy. Here now to talk about it jose is former official in the Bush Administration state department and david tafuri obama official. Thank you. Martha good to have both of you have with us. Lets get your thoughts. This cuban missile story is bizarre. The story is in their homes and workplaces they believe they are under sonic attack. Some sort of waves that doctors have 2ker78d after examining them are happening. And that they are experiencing mild, traumatic brain injury. Whats going on here . Well, its frankly an outrageous violation of convention on Diplomatic Convention basically how countries treat one anothers diplomats posted there. Really it an appalling human story. These individuals who are americans serving abroad. Representing subjected to this attack that they didnt even know was happening to them. And, therefore, and they could wind up with permanent brain damage or other Permanent Health repercussions. It really is it boggles the mind to believe that this could happen in this day and age. Number one, it also shows the basically the folly of the Obama Administrations attempt to normalize relations with coulibaly and the castro regime. And number two, it really does demand a very strong policy response from the United States. Martha i mean have you got this one hand opening to cuba and then they are slapping our hand, david, with these assaults on american diplomats. Its something out of a spy novel but its actually happened to these poor people. Yeah. This is truly bizarre. And a remarkable relationship that we have with cuba thats undergone some, you know, miraculous changes over the last few years. Now, its worthwhile to note that were not yet sure who who is responsible for these attacks. It could be cuba. But reporters and media reports suggest it could also be a third country. Either way, cuba has a responsibility under the Vienna Convention as jose noted to protect our diplomats and help us protect our diplomats. It sounds like they are cooperating with u. S. Authorities and canadian authorities in order to figure out why this happened and how this happened and how to prevent it from happening in the future. Thats important. There should be a response from the u. S. Perhaps we have to put in place some new sanctions, targeted sanctions to retaliate. Perhaps we have to do expulsion of more cuba diplomats. But its also important to note that we have made some progress in the relationship with cuba by opening up cuba as a result of the normalization of relations. That has helped the cuban people and its made cuba a less closed society. Martha if they are behind this attack they dont seem to be, you know, very grateful for the opening up of that relationship. I want to go back to both of you and start with david quickly. Your response to the north Korean Missile fire tonight. Well, this is really unfortunate. Things seemed to die down a little bit. Quiet battle bit. North korea said they might have a response to the new sanctions that were put in place this week in order to punish the companies that are helping support the Financial Sector in north korea. Perhaps this is their response there was a great report from trace. He noted these are short range missiles and this it sounds like they have failed. So it was a pretty poor weak response but by north korea but certainly a provocation. And we have to see what the u. S. Is going to do next. Certainly we need to push back again with Strong Language and, of course, warning north korea that all options are on the table, including military options. Martha this is clearly a further provocation, jose, and we watched the secretary of state in a somewhat hopeful measured discussion the other day. Say were heartened to some extent. Actually, lets take a look at it. Lets watch it. I am pleased to see that the regime in pyongyang has certainly demonstrated some level of restraint that we have not seen in the past. We hope that this is the beginning of this signal that we have been looking for. Martha jose, your thoughts. Well, i dont think it is, unfortunately i think as Trace Gallagher noted we are in the midst of having some current military exercises going on with south korea. I think we need that and we need a lot more between us and our allies in the region, japan, south korea. In making that very strong demonstration of our commitment. And we also need to turn the heat up on china. There is going to be no resolution to north korea without china getting involved. And we have to use our leverage with china. And keep pressing the chinese. We need to hang north korea all around their neck and identify them at the obstacle to a resolution to this crisis. Martha gentlemen, thank you very much. Jose and david, good to see you both tonight. Thank you. Martha coming up next, we are back on the ground in texas hurricane harv j continues to barrel toward the coast. The storm is the most powerful that the u. S. Has seen in 12 years. Plus this why do apple and jp morgan think its socially conscious to back the southern law property center. The group thats calling the Family Research council a Christian Organization a hate group. Victor davis hanson is here with his take next. Whats up guys . Were dude perfect.

March mash so you are looking live at Hurricane Harvey a storm to be the biggest to hit the United States in 12 years of the National Weather service has issued a warning of, quote, immense human suffering. For those in its path. They need to get somewhere safe by the time this storm makes landfall. They have a couple hours left according to the maps we are looking at. Steve harrigan is out in the middle of it in Corpus Christi in texas. Hi, steve. Martha, some Hurricane Force gusts every few minutes here as they prepare for the worst of it over the next four to five hours. Two pieces of news one from Corpus Christi police they will not be responding to emergency calls. This is likely to last for the next several hours. Secondly, in the town of rockport about 30 miles north of where im standing, the mayor there has told residents who have divided to ride out this storm to use a sharpy to write their names and Social Security numbers on their arms. Many areas in low lying texas and areas along the coast have had mandatory evacuations in place. A lot of people either not heeding those warnings are not able to heed those warnings they are going to try to ride it out. Rest of the night they will be doing it largely on their own. Martha, back to you. Martha steve, thank you very much. In the meantime do americans know just what the companies they support are endorsing . The Southern Poverty Law Center in their quest to root out what they consider hate in this country labels these two people tony perkins of the Family Research council and activist ian hersy alli as part of that group that theyre against. She responded by saying this, quote im a black woman, a feminist, and a former muslim who has consistently opposed political violence. Yet, the splc has the audacity to label me an extremist. But the splc has been the beneficiary of luge donations from the likes of jp morgan and apple that prompted central in an oped by funding this list jp morgan and apple are saying they support labeling Christian Organizations that oppose gay marriage as, quote, hate groups. Victor davis hanson is a senior fellow at the hoover. He joins me. Very welcome to have you on the program tonight. Thank you. Martha this piece by kim central caught my eye this morning. And we had looked at your piece the other day on the war monuments. This one to start with in this sort of progressive leaning at corporations where they feel if they dont back groups like the splc they might be criticized. There might be backlash from some of their consumers. They may get justth opposite here. Yeah. They do. They are business people. So they look at the world in a cost benefit analysis. They have come to the conclusion that the few activists like the splc represent a greater danger by defamation to them or blackmail or boycotts than do the vast majority of americans who basically agree with the tolerance of classic liberal views of kirstie alley. Looks at minority people as a borg that they have to have uniform views. Somebody brilliant, beautiful, black, exmuslim courageous female like kirstie ali comes out and speaks about the world way she sees it in logical manner. That represents a threat to splc. Corporations are just a moral. They react to what the perceived profit loss calculus is. Martha we saw similar thing with many of them stepping away from these councils that the white house was operating for the same reason. Right . They just felt that they sort of looked at their p and l and decided it wasnt going to be worth it for them because they are likely to get blasted on twitter why organizations that may or may not represent the feelings of the American People at all no most people are traditional lists they live and let live. Conservatives bothers them to get everybody riled up and boycott and numbers as people on the Progressive Left do. Business people just react to perceived pressures. We have seen that with espn and the Asian American sportscaster psycho drama. We see it with usc horse that happened to be named traveler. I think corporations really have to ask themselves how long can they be this a moral and Business Decisions without offending people who may come out of the shadows and say enough is enough. Martha lets put up this hate group map that the splc put out like the Family Research council. Victor, if you look at this, you would think there is hate crawling across the entire country and you better just stay in your house and hunker down. Yeah. They are bullies and they intimidate people. They recall like the march carteites for the 1950s. I have been spotlight because of inner marriage in the case of imyants. They feel that is somehow discriminatory. They are riding high because of the charlottesville incident. They have gotten a lot of donations thats gone to their head. They better be careful. I think they are going to create a backlash not only among the American People but maybe the corporations that appease them right now but might not in the future if there is a popular backlash. Martha you know, with every passing day there are more examples of statues and monuments being taken down. They have become a symbol of the kind of strife that you and i are talking about right now. Thomas jefferson was doused with red paint at the university of virginia which he designed and founded. And then you have colonel crawford at an Ohio University and his statue was deat that poin decapitated. You say when we history in why in 2017 and not 2015 or 2008. We better make sure our targets are uniquely and mellow dramatically evil rather than tragically misguided and which category do you think these individuals fall into . Well, i mean, we are humans by nature applaud. When we apply the standards of the 21st century we can find sins in the past. Notice its selective. People are not going after progressive racists by our terms early war win, Margaret Sanger planned parenthood, susan b. Anthony, woodrow wilson. We can have a whole session on the things that they said by modern standards they should be air away. They are not going after the statue new central park who personally executed people with his own revolver. They are not going after gandhi who was a great man but he said some terrible things about blacks in south after infantry canned a said some terrible things about jews on the eve of world war ii. Selective and outraged. Insidious. Its revolutionary and they are going after language. The horse. They eat their own the revolutionaries do. Martha mr. Davis hanson thank you so much, sir. Good to have you tonight. Hope you will come back soon. Tomorrow night as you may know is fight night. Floyd mayweather and Conner Mcgregor take to the ring in one of the most matches of all time.
