All of this and obama team support continues to be lukewarm to downright cold. Last night former White House Communications director chimed in about bidens frequent mention of his friendship with the former president. He said it best, when Barack Barack thats exactly what barack and i talked about. The thing barack and i have talked about. If it was possible to transfer support from an endorsement or a friendship, Hillary Clinton would be president. Martha outs. Michelle obama and David Axelrod have been negative too noncommittal, respectively, and a former obama staffer is less than impressed with former Vice President. I think everyone is expecting bigger fundraising numbers from him. I think hes in trouble with these numbers. Martha s or all that and then look at this. As obamacare today faces a very big hurdle in the courts. Joe biden is putting a lot of his chips on the Health Care Program that his fellow candidates are basically saying is so yesterday. The quickest, fastest way to do this, build on obamacare. To build on what we did buried him the idea were going to come along and take the most significant thing that has happened that any president is trying to do is it got done. It makes no sense to me. Top five people in the balls right now on the complete opposite side of you. Look im starting over with the i think a sin. Martha in moments, charlie hurt, ari fleischer, first we begin with chief Legal Correspondent shannon bream, she is also of course the host of fox news night, later this evening, we will all be watching. Good to see you tonight a period of tell us what happened in the court today with obamacare. Martha, this could be the end of obamacare depending on what these three judges decide to do, and of course theres always the next step where this could end up at the Supreme Court in the middle of a 2020 president ial campaign, and election. The stakes are really high here. Essentially what the opponents argument, listen, when congress a couple of years ago zeroed out the penalty, the taxi would pay if you didnt comply with the individual mandate, they say that was the linchpin holding this entire thing to get it. Youll Supreme Court said they hung it on that. Its a taxation power, that means the house could start this thing, it could go through the process on the health. If so opponents are now saying that the alarm, the whole thing has to go. Two of these three judges today, one of them didnt say a word, we are told, during the arguments today new orleans. Two of the three had serious concerns about how the law could survive, so it looks like at least from the arguments today, they were pretty open to what the plaintiffs had to say about getting rid of the Affordable Care act altogether. Martha who are these judges, shannon were making this big decision . Its interesting, the president has made a lot of noise about filling up the federal judiciary. One of his appointees is actually on this fifth Circuit Court today. Another is an appointee of president George W Bush and the other one, the third who didnt speak at all was an appointee of president carter. You do have a mix on the panel there but its almost certain that whomever wins or loses here, this thing is going to end up at the Supreme Court and, listen, its going to be a political event as well because if the democrats lose, theyre going to say okay, republicans are stripping away health care from tens of millions of people, but they have no backup plan. They talked about it quite a bit, you know the g. O. P. Has not been able to come up with enough of one to get everybody together to vote on it. Its going to be very political, whatever this court does. Martha it would be amazing to see the Supreme Court have to face this question again grade yet again. Martha especially if theres no tax, thats what Justice Roberts hung his decision on. He said congress contacts, and therefore this program is constitutional and then you got Brett Kavanaugh in the mix now, right . Its a very Different Court that heard this case and this would be a third bite essentially at the foundations of the Affordable Care act. The Supreme Court, it puts them in a terrible position because they dont want to be viewed as political, but theyve rolled on this lobby for. Its very likely it could end up there again in the middle of the campaign. Both sides are going to campaign off of him and those justices may have yet another very tough decision. Martha i was going to be very interesting. Great to see you, we will see later tonight. Coming up, charlie hurt here in studio with me. Author of the new book. Why america went all in on donald trump and white must do it again. Thats charlies opinion and that if the title of that book. Ari fleischer, former White House Press secretary, both are fox news contributors. Austan goolsbee, president obamas former chief economist and professor at the university of chicago who has been reading charlies book back to front. You bet. Martha great to see all of you tonight. First of all, austin, let me go to you with the sort of introduction that would put together tonight about these questions about the support for joe biden in the Democratic Party. If the fact that he seems to be putting so many of his eggs in the obamacare basket given whats going on in the courts. Look, i thought your opening was fair to the Vice President and the fact is, he didnt have a great first debate. The nomination and the white house are not jobs that are owed anybody. You have to earn it. If either party, either nomination. If joe biden uses this challenge as an opportunity and goes out and earns her nomination in a way, this could be the best thing that could happen to him. If he doesnt. If he continues to be undisciplined and stumbles, hes not going to be the nominee, and i think thats just a reality. Martha what does your gut tell you right now about where this goes for him . I worked closely with the Vice President and im a big admirer of his and i think you would count him out a bit at your peril. I think you could turn it around and ive been a bit surprised that he wasnt more talking why was he talking about what he did in the senate in 1970s, he should be talking about i was friends with president barack obama, who was very popular to the democratic electorate. And if the court throws out obamacare, in a way, thats going to be the Trump Campaigns biggest nightmare, because theyre going to get some people really agitated, and thats an issue thats going to play to bidens favor. Martha i want you to take a look at some of these sort of underlying numbers, a very interesting job putting together some of this. Take a look at this, which deals with recognition. Candidate recognition and how well or unknown they are. We know joe biden has a very nice part because was probably the only name that people knew in the early going here. Hes at that 30 line in terms of recognition there. Think about the fact that Hillary Clinton wasnt 60 in the same measure according to 538 and she lost, as we all will know. Thats the real question. If joe biden, Hillary Clinton 2,020. And i think all evidence is going to point thats going to be the case. He just feels like yesterdays senator and thats his problem. He talked about the segregationists that he knew in the 70s, because it was comfortable, it was natural, it was joe. Hes missing what 2020 feels like, especially for grassroots democrats. I do think theres another side of all of this, and that is theres a tremendous tension inside the Democratic Party because to get as far left as they can but still defeat donald trump. If you got the pragmatist who just want to defeat term, they really dont care who it is as long as its not from what youve got the people who are ideological who really want to use this moment to get to the left. We are going to see that tension play out. Martha weve seen Elizabeth Warren and kamala harris, as we showed in the beginning, rising in terms of peoples perspective on their electability. Charlie, when you look at this, electability is a very tricky thing. So joe biden might be more electable than any of those other folks. President trump has had to give me Elizabeth Warren, id love to run against her. Hes a little more complementary about kamala harris. It kind of reminds me a little of 2004 when he met president bush running for reelection and there was a lot of people on the left who really didnt like him and they would do anything to topple him, and of course they ran off with howard dean for a long time and then at the last minute they were reminded that electability was the only thing that cared about, so they jump into the arms of john kerry, which of course it didnt out very well for them. But people forget joe biden has been part of the problem in washington for nearly 50 years. In the entire time hes been in washington hes been trying to figure out how to become president. Hes run a couple of times and its been disastrous in the closest hes ever gotten to the white house is one barack obama needed somebody that fit his description. So its a good reminder that he really is kind of bad at this. Martha hes never made it past iowa, but hes also been Vice President for eight years, but it raises the question that we talked about in the intro here, why are so many of the close Obama Associates so unwilling to be projoe biden . Well, i think youve got a lot of things going on. There were a lot of people who people have actively a candidate now. Either from their home state was the people that they are working for, so that explained part of it. And i think this tension thats going to play out between different wings of the party in between the older wing and the younger wing, thats a natural process to happen in a primary. This is the most on steroid, make a version where we cut 26 candidates now on the democratic side, so i dont think just the fact that there are a bunch of Obama Staffers that have chosen somebody else besides joe biden necessarily means hes going to have trouble, but it doesnt mean hes home free by any means. Like i say, hes got to go out and earn it and show that hes on his game. Martha ari, youre shaking her head, why . Because i think it is serious. These are people who know joe biden, they worked with him at the white house. It seen him. I suspected they had to carry a bucket, a pale and a broom and clean up after him sometimes so they know the character of the man. I was just thinking in the bush white house, if we were put in the same position, somebody we knew, a Vice President who was running and we didnt support him, that would be telling. Martha you guys wouldnt have all rallied around dick cheney for president . He never said he was going to run. There wasnt a younger person he said he was going to run, the white house staff under bush was throwing their support to a senator here or a congressman there, it wouldnt feel right. As a sign of a problem for the Vice President. Martha charlie, also tonight, he calls himself middleclass joe. He released his tax returns today. He made 2. 8 million in speaking fees and other engagements. More power to him. He has every right to do that as a private citizen, but is that going to pose a problem for him in the next debate potentially . I think absolutely. I think theres this huge disconnect between him and the rest of the candidates running. In a lot of ways its a little bit alarming for america, because you have a Democratic Party that has just sort of lurched so far to the left that its not even recognizable by i think a lot of regular democratic voters who are their base outside of washington. And thats bad for democrats because i dont think that they can win the white house that way, but its also about for america, because we do need a viable good, smart Opposition Party to keep both parties honest. Martha thank you gentlemen gentlemen, great to see you all tonight, good to have you here. Coming up next. Has that revelation changed your position on reparations . Martha Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell attacked for not supporting reparations, but what about the timing of all of this . Is a little bit curious . The story investigates next.

Liberty. Liberty. I dont think reparations or something that happened 150 years ago for whom none of us currently living are currently responsible is a good idea. We try to deal with original sin slavery of by passing landmark we elect an africanamerican president. Martha that was senator Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell speaking out against reparations about a month ago. But now the senator has become a central target in a lot of ways for democrats president ial hopefuls. This story then surfaced from nbc calling the reparations issue close to home for mcconnell after they unearthed census records back from the 1800s that show his ancestors owned slaves in alabama. Questioned whether this report changes things for him, heres what he said. I find myself once again in the same position as president obama. We both opposed reparations and we both are the descendants of slaveholders. Martha tonight there are questions about this and also about the timing of this report, which comes just as a former fighter pilot, amy mcgrath, has launched a challenge to try to oust the longtime kentucky senator in 2020. One of the reasons why kentucky voted for donald trump is to drain the swamp, and all along the way, if you look at why he hasnt been able to get those things done, youve got to look at senator mcconnell. Martha that is the veteran, former pilot amy mcgrath, who was on fox business network. James robbins of usa today, contributor and author of a racing america, losing our future by destroying our past runs me now. Good to have you with us today. You wrote about something that perhaps senator mcconnell read your piece and talked about today and president obama himself talked about the fact that in his ancestry there were potential links to slave owners. Tell me about that. Its true. A barack obama in a way embodies some of the contradictions in looking at this reparations issue, because hes africanamerican, but his father came from africa and his white mother is a descendant of the slave holders. But also, he has Union Veterans on that side of his family too. People are going to go back through genealogies and try to parse out was responsible for the things that happened over 150 years ago, it just shows how complicated that can be. Martha it certainly is. And its interesting given the polling on this, which shows that most americans do not support reparations, that some of the democrat candidates have chosen to make this thing that they do talk about a fair amount on the campaign trail. Beto orourke is one of those candidates who have spent a fair amount of time talking about this. Here he is on the topic just recently. Watch this. This country was founded on White Supremacy and every Single Institution and structure that we have in our country still reflects the legacy of slavery and segregation and jim crow. Martha i just want to reiterate the language there because it is very strong language. He says every Single Institution and structure that we have in this country still reflects the legacy of slavery and segregation and jim crow. What you think about that, sir . Thats really sad. I dont know who taught him to hate america so much. To think that all americans think that all institutions are like that, thats very sad. But look at it politically. If the majority of americans are opposed to this issue. And try taking it to battleground states like wisconsin or ohio or michigan. States that were on the union side of the civil war, thank you for winning the war and abolishing slavery, but now youre all guilty and are all part of this institutional racism. That just isnt going to fly. Martha im sure he would disagree with you that he hates america but i understand your point and looking at the fact that he says that every Single Institution and structure still reflects the legacy of slavery. Its a very controversial point. If you talk about collective victimhood and guilt. Talk about that. Well, the only way that this can really work and with the proponents of this are talking about saying things like what he said, that we are all guilty of it, that its a collective American Guild and this is how they avoid the question of the genealogical question of who is responsible and also the fact that the people who held slaves and the slaves himself are all passed away. But thats not really an american concept, collective guilt. Its not an outlaw, not in our history and its not something that people like. I think pursuing that really makes people more indignant because americans dont feel that they had anything to do with this. Martha and that the children should be guilty for the sins of their fathers is not an idea that is baked into american jurisprudence. What about the success you heard Mitch Mcconnell talk about the fact that we had an africanamerican president. Thats something that people. 2, the success of so many africanamericans in this country, but people who are in favor of reparations would say we are so far from done, we are not all the way there yet. One of the reasons why barack obama opposed the idea of reparations was because people would take it as a symbol of being done. But if it was passed, and there was you write a check or whatever it is, then people would say okay, fine, thats it, reparations and now its done, we know longer have any more work to do towards racial harmony or anything else. He wanted to pay out, there it is. Thats one of the reasons why he opposed this and i think it was pretty sensible approach. Martha thank you, sir. Interesting piece today, thanks for coming on. Another American City has opened its streets to the homeless saying that it will allow tenants and panhandling, but interestingly, the city says it will allow it everywhere except city hall property.

That is freaky. applause martha there is new speculation tonight about Robert Muellers testimony on the hill, which is highly anticipated next week. Attorney general william barr made a comment yesterday which got a lot of attention. He said if Robert Mueller decides that he doesnt want to testify he would have the backing of the doj. Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge live from washington time. Good evening to you. That was very interesting. Do you think theres any chance that this changes the game for next week . Let me tell you what weve gotten through our own recording. What we know from sources telling fox news is that the former special counsel Robert Mueller remains a reluctant witness and a number of options are under consideration. Traveling South Carolina late yesterday, william barr, as you mention, appeared to offer mueller and exit ramp. And if bob decides he doesnt want to be subject to that, the department of justice would certainly back him. Mueller is scheduled to publicly testify next wednesday before the democratled house judiciary and intelligence committees. The 500 page report found no criminal conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and russia, but it did not exonerate the president on obstruction of justice allegations. At the same News Conference, barr seemed to throw shades on House Democrats were compelling mueller testimony. I was disappointed to see him subpoena because i dont think that serves any purpose dragon bob mueller up. If hes going to stick to the report. Seems to me the only reason for doing that would be to create some kind of public spectacle. In may he gave his only Public Statement on the report findings and at that News Conference he did not take reporter questions. And the report is my testimony. I would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before congress. With the white house ordering current and former officials to limit or not testify to the house committees, the mueller hearing gives democrats a highprofile witness and if it goes ahead, a very precarious format with more than five dozen lawmakers between the two committees asking the questions, martha. Martha we will have live coverage from washington, d. C. , next week as that unfolds. Thank you very much, thanks for being here tonight.

How long are you going to wait before you see the millennium is enriched . Iran is doing a lot of bad things right now and we are going to be very careful. Martha President Trump with a warning for a run today from the oval office as their country moves one step closer to developing a Nuclear Weapon in terms of the new Enrichment Program they are putting in place. The rogue regime enriching uranium beyond the limit that was set in the nuclear deal and the United States says that it will not back down on this issue. But privately, it could be a slightly different story. Tonight there are reports that u. S. Officials met secretly with iranian representatives at a hotel in iraq and that is according to an israeli tv station. What the developers are, if there are any out of that meeting. At this point we cant say what tensions are also ramping up between iran and european allies who are at an increasingly difficult position in this whole thing because they are still part of the iranian deal after British Forces seized an iranian tanker that was headed to syria, one of irans top generals responded saying the move will not go unanswered. That was today. Israel also in the mix of cours course. Benjamin netanyahu making his ability to respond to any provocation quite clear. Recently iran has been threatening israel. They would do well to remember that these planes can reach anywhere in the middle east, including iran and certainly syria. Martha joined me now, senator marco rubio, a member of the Foreign Relations committee. Senator, that evening, good to have it with us, thanks for being here tonight. Looks kind of go through that backwards. When you look at what Benjamin Netanyahu was saying, the Prime Minister there, he is responding to a lawmaker in israel who said that any attack on us, israels remaining life span would not reach even a half an hour. Your thoughts on that and i . First evolved from to these threats from iran ive been pretty consistent. If they mean. This is the leader leads chance every friday, death to america, death to israel. When you think that they are trying they continue to build these missiles. Think you will see them continue to test these missiles longer and longer range and accuracy. Sponsor terrorism all over the region, that by the way killed and maimed hundreds of americans in iraq. They were the authors and the builders of those ieds that hurt our troops in the past and youve seen the recent attacks as well and things theyve done on the region. This is par for the course with a terrorist regime that needs to be reined in the problem with the iran deal is that allowed them to do all of that. It said you couldnt enrich uranium and process plutonium but you could continue to do the muscles, the cyber attacks, you could continue to sponsor the terrorism. Thats ridiculous. Martha what you say to those who say, look, under the deal, if you believe iran, i guess thats a big if in this situation, they are not enriching to the levels they are now enriching to and under the deal it would have taken a year for them to acquire a Nuclear Weapon and that is also now off the table. What do we do to stop them . We say they cant have a Nuclear Weapon, but what are we going to do . First of all, lets start with what the deal didnt cover. The deal allowed them to continue they could continue to build these missiles and they didnt violate the deal. They could continue to pour millions of dollars into hezbollah and other proxy terrorist organizations, and that wasnt a violation of the deal. They could carry out sanctions on behalf of syria, which is the reason why that ship was seized by the british marines after boulder, it was taking wilde to a prohibited entity and didnt violate the deal. Ultimately at some point on the load, growth, once they have their missiles, poured billions of dollars from sanctions release into building the capabilities to do all of these things, then iran would announce we are going to be nuclearcapable and at that point they will have achieved a lot at this they will be hoping that at that point in time the world will be less willing to reimpose sanctions. That was their plan all along and the president was right to get us out of the deal, and by the way, this was an issue in the 2016 president ial campaign. The president said he would pull us out of the deal, Hillary Clinton said she would keep it. He won and hes doing what he said he would do and hes doing the right thing in my view. Martha what happens when push comes to shove . They are being very provocative going after tankers. The air force bombing as well. What happens when push comes to shove . How do we back up and say that we mean it . What are we going to do . First of all, americans are always going to defend itself against any attacks against us, our interest, or are personal. If that was true during the deal, before the deal and after the deal. That will always be true. If iran attacked the United States they will get a response that will be strong and definitive. That said, the sanctions continue in place. We are not going to put back this relief so that they can have millions and millions more dollars every month that they can use to build rockets and sponsor terrorism. My goodness, youve already seen that hezbollah has announced openly that they are having budget problems and funding problems. That is related to the sanctions being put back in. Martha we are going to watch, as i know you do every single day in the senate. Before i let you go, i want to ask you a question with relation to this epstein case. The secretary of labor alex acosta, who was involved, one of the prosecutors who was part of what was seen as just a very sweet deal, given what was at stake here. What you think should happen . Should he remain at labor secretary . First of all, i think we need to know exactly what the deal was made. Theres only two ways this happen. The first is it was a very difficult prosecutorial decisio decision, which as secretary acosta has said that at the time they didnt have enough witnesses, they didnt have enough evidence, the state grand jury couldnt even indict him and there was a real fear he could walk. It was either that, that in hindsight looks terrible, or it was political influence and people protecting him. And thats why the department of justice is undertaking a probe right now if there was prosecutorial misconduct, there should be account ability for that and thats what we are hoping to find out from this probe, and we should wait before it comes back before we make any further pronouncements about that. Martha okay, senator, always good to have you on the story, thank you very much tonight, sir. Thank you. Martha so austin, texas, is becoming the latest to open its streets to legal tent cities and panhandling. How is that going . The inside story on austens police chief brian manley. What about him .

A. , seattle, san francisco, are drawing more and more homeless citizens to their towns and cities. Austin can be added to that list. The city council there has decriminalized Public Camping and sleeping and panhandling on the public sidewalks. In moments we are going to talk to Austin Police chief brian manley about that, but first, the back story from chief correspondent jonathan hunt. Good evening, jonathan, thank you. Good evening, martha. Under the new law the Austin Police department cannot arrest anyone who is camping, laying, or sitting in a public area unless they present a Public Health or safety hazard or are blocking their walkway. Supporters of the move say it will break the cycle of homelessness because if someone is arrested for sleeping in public spaces it can give that person a criminal record, which can make it harder to get work or find a real place to live. Texas Governor Greg Abbott opposes the idea tweeting last month before it became a reality, if austin or any other texas city permits camping on city streets, it will be yet another ordinance the state of texas will override. At some point cities must start putting Public Safety and common sense first. Austin mayor steve adler called on the governor to do more to help solve the homeless crisis as austin commits to an 18 month study of the problem. I hope in that year and a half we are able to establish these programs and these policies in a way that works. That makes the state proud, and at the next legislative session, they are actually scaling up the solutions and doing it in other cities around texas. The ordinance does not allow people to camp in city parks, but it does give them to go ahead to sleep and placed tents on sidewalks, outside private homes or businesses for instance if they are not unreasonably blocking anyone. If mayor adler, by the way, is this week visiting seattle and los angeles to learn how those cities deal with the problem of homelessness. Austin has around 2500 Homeless People by a recent count. Seattle around six times that number, and here in l. A. , the Homeless Population is estimated at around 55,000. Martha. Martha thank you very much, jonathan. Jonathan hunt out of los angeles. Joining me now, as promised, Austin Police chief brian manley. Chief, theyre too happy with us tonight, thank you very much for being here. Good evening, thank you. Martha how would you describe how this is going so far . , your officers managing with this . So we are only a week into the change with the ordinances and as with any change, whether for the local governing body of the state legislature, the officers, the officers are complying with the new regulations. We put out training bulletins and again emphasized to the officers what the new requirements of the new ordinances are that we are focused on the behavior that is either dangerous or hazardous, or that is blocking the passageways. Martha obviously, as you point out, your force and you are newly in charge. If you did an excellent job handling the bombing situation in boston and were promoted to chief there, but whatever is put in front of your officers is what they will carry out and what they will handle and manage as best they can. But on the Austin Police association. People are starting to weigh on it and i would like to get your reaction to some of this. It says officers and citizens are reporting camps sprouting up all over town. Officers are confused on how to enforce the changes. Department direction is vague at best according to this one individual. Hashtag bad, bad decision. What you say to him . Again, social media was an avenue where people can post whatever date they like. I think the big change for us as a community and as a departments areas where officers used to have the ability to impact complaints that we would receive being individuals that felt like their safety was in jeopardy or didnt feel comfortable in a situation. If that doesnt rise to the level where an officer believes it would meet the threshold of being hazardous or dangerous, we wont have the opportunity to try and gain voluntary compliance to get that person to either change their behavior or move to another location. And without a pretty good success with that in dealing with Homeless Populations, especially in our downtown area. We were seeing compliance rates somewhere in the neighborhood of 98 when we would ask an individual to either change the behavior or move, that they would comply. So with the new regulations we now have to wait for that behavior to reach the level of where its hazardous or dangerous or if there are blocking that martha is an example from another person who put a question to the police online. People are sleeping on the sidewalk in front of my residence.

How did you get all of these kids to do so well on this test and has this ever happened before at your Charter School . First question, its believing in them and letting them know the bar is high because they can do it. I mean, thats how we really did it. In terms of weve ever done it before, last year it was the first year that we did algebra one in the eighth grade. Its a ninth grade test bed last year, we had a 100 pass, but this is the first year that we had 100 of them pass and 100 of them have an a. It really is a great feat and when you look at the numbers in district nine of the bronx, two person scored 85 or higher. What is your trick and what you say to those who say youve got the cream of the crop . I wouldnt say its a trick. Its more so, these scholars have been in the amazing Educational Program since kindergarten. Theyve been prepped with progressive teachings since, again kindergarten.

When you listen to some of these folks who are against these schools and who say that it drains the Public School system, we just heard from some people in the intro saying that, what do you say about that . All i know is that in the community where there are such low expectations, there is a bright spot. These kids are benefiting from this opportunity and because of our school, i know they are going to go on to have as many doors open for them as possible. I just dont know how you can be against our kids, our families when its so positive. These kids believe in themselves. They can go out into the world and they are great at math. How many kids can say that . I know i cant but im glad they can. One last question to you with regard to the rest of the city. There are caps on how many Charter Schools can be in new york city. Do you think thats a good thing or would you like to see more of these schools open . I know there are families want more schools. If there are families that want this, then i think we should respect their wishes and we should increase the caps. If people didnt want this, it would be a different story but them families that need it most are the ones advocating for it. How did they get to your school . Its a lottery system. Anyone can apply . Anyone can apply even if they have an ip doesnt matter what background, they have to apply. We make them apply. Congratulations to your students.
