high alert in this area. tomorrow we expect to get another update from police. bill: thank you, matt finn from iowa. thanks. president trump: you ll be very surprised. they are talking about this blue wave. i don t think so. if the democrats get in, they are going to raise your taxes, you will have crime all over the place, people pouring across the border. why would that be a blue wave? i think it could be a red wave. sandra: that s according to the president in ohio this weekend. the president predicting a red wave of republicans winning in this year s mid-term elections. the president firing up the crowd on behalf of ohio state senator troy balderson running against democratic underdog danny o connor in the ohio house special election tomorrow. let s bring in karl rove former chief of staff to george w. bush and a fox news contributor.
good monday morning to you. how about that red wave? do you see one coming? i think the president would be well advised to lower expectations rather than raise them. think about this. republicans gained seats in the house and senate in 2002. democrats gained seats in the house in 1998 in a mid-term when they held the white house and the last time it happened before that was 1934. rarely in a mid-term election does the party in power, the party that holds the white house, gain seats. now, the republicans might have a chance of gaining seats in the senate because the way we elect senators there has never been since we began electing senators in 1914 has there been a landscape as favorable to the party in power as the one we face this year. 10 of 26 democrats that are up are in states won by donald trump. only one of the nine pub republicans but they ll likely lose seats in the house,
bill: another tweet from sunday. why aren t mueller and the angry democrats looking at the meeting of the lying dossier. the most one-sided witch hunt in the history of our country. fort naturally the facts are coming out and fast. anything new on the mueller matter we need to focus on now? we never know where mueller is. generally it s a good thing to assume that mueller knows more than we do about any particular topic. but we don t actually know where he is. obviously the paul manafort trial is going on today. we expect some interesting information in the tax evasion trial of paul manafort. but as far as what mueller is going to do, we know he has not charged anyone with any crimes that involve collusion or conspiracy with between trump and the russians to influence the election. we don t know what he is going to do and we also do know, though, that a deadline of
sorts is coming up. the mid-term elections are less than 100 days away. it has been generally justice department practice for a prosecutors not to do something after labor day that might affect an election. bill: i think it s the first weekend in a while where rudy giuliani did not do an interview. maybe he is on vacation. jay sekulow said the following about that. you have to look at what laws, rules, regulations, statutes are purportedly violated here. when you really look at this, george, and you look at the comments the president made this week via twitter and my colleague giuliani has stated. they re unremarkable in that the idea this has been going on now for well over a year. let s be honest with the american people, there are irregularities in this investigation the likes of which we have not seen. bill: you can sum up that answer by seeing where is the crime? what is it? where is the crime and how
possible obstruction of justice. the president s legal team is unconcerned and puzzled about it. one source telling fox news obstruction by tweet is a very bizarre and novel theory. bill, we also hear the president s attorneys may have their response to the mueller letter last week about setting parameters for a possible interview as early as late today or maybe tomorrow. we ll keep an eye on that for you as well. bill: thank you, john roberts. a brand-new week at the white house. later this hour don t miss this. national security advisor, ambassador john bolton is live in america s newsroom. we ll go through all of this including iran and north korea coming up in about 25 minutes. sandra: meanwhile big races in two key swing states tomorrow with michigan holding primaries and ohio holding a special election in a traditionally republican district. that race is currently tight. the president rallied there over the weekend where he predicted a red wave in the mid-terms. joining us
