week three. as you saw the reaction outside the stadium from the fans still pretty raw and emotional. rob and heather, back to you. that one officer said i took three shots for this country and i still stand up. i love that sound bite there todd, thanks so much. heather: thank you. rob: big win for president trump this morning as the u.s. economy is showing signs of a big surge. heather: this as he continues to push democrats to help push his new tax reform plan designed to provide tax relief to the middle class. griff jenkins is live for us in washington, d.c. with more on that. hello, griff. hello heather and rob. owosso in g.d.p. numbers second quarter stronger than thought. offering encouragement for a growing economy. the president tweeting g.d.p. was revised upward to 3.1 for last quarter. many people thought it would be years before that happened. we have just begun and is going to give a big speech
heather: time for the good, the bad, and the ugly. as always, we begin with the good. a soldier surprising his daughter at her homecoming game with a homecoming of his own. you have been proudly serving our country overseas this past year. cannot think of a better way to make it back for his family and friends. heather: first sergeant chuck porter back home in kansas after spending nearly a year at guantanamo bay as an officer. rob: welcome home to him. flirting with this, hanging on right outside of a subway car. i can t believe that. a stranger giving him a fist bump right here filming it police say they have no information on who this man is or if he made it off safe. we hope he did. don t make it off for fist bump though. ugly. parents, do you ever feel like this? last time i baby-sat them they did the funniest thing.
lot of people saying they are picking one up to show support. heather: if you re a nascar driver, you better stand. carley: and several nascar owners have cited with the president including nascar team owner richard who said this, anybody that doesn t stand up for the anthem ought to be out of the country period. what got them where they are at, the united states. so donald trump, jr. respond today that message saying, well played nascar, well played, america. vickie said, thank you nascar. i just became a fan. rob and heather, thank you. heather: all right. rob: all right, carley, thank you so much. we do appreciate it. heather: only in america, right, that s why we live here. rob: try going somewhere else. it gets a lot worse than this. heather: time now six minutes until the top of the hour. parents, are you waking up and
sacrifice. your ability to stand in uniform at a game and play a sport was purchased at a price by someone who put a different uniform can camouflage and fought against people that wanted to take away your freedom. pick a different forum. you talked to fans, they understand the right of the first amendment but they want it to be a different place other than nation s anthem. rob: exactly. it s the venue. heather: what about the teams that didn t come out on the field at all. pete: big mistake. you miss an opportunity i understand a desire to be united. somebody like alejandro villanueva, number 78, army ranger, tours in afghanistan, he looked at his coach, i m sorry i served my country in the battlefield, i will walk and put my hand over my heart. i lost brothers. heather: his coach reprimanded him for doing that. pete: a subtle reprimand.
i have stopped watching a lot of sports and football because of what happened last year. i don t think you have to respect the country you are in. why should you take a knee. i don t get it. canadians out here rallying for the united states of america. absolutely. canadians love it. amen. every good package about the star spangled barn ends with a canadian, of course. you have two sides. they don t want to see the politics intermixed. rob: what do you think we see next week, more players? pete: we may have reached a high watermark, maybe because this was the moment to do it if you are going to do it and from here on out, if you don t have a cause that s clear heather: what are they protesting?
