that is the puzzling part of this case, shannon. the judge who handled the rape case was out of the cincinnati area. judge joseph bruzzese was overseeing a case as a wrongful death lawsuit, that wasn t due to be heard next monday. there are accounts of an individual who had been out drinking and still in the car with nate richmond monday morning. that individual said he had to be in court yesterday. four hours ahead of the ambush, nate richmond was pulled over for a defective headlight. shannon: keep us updated. thank you. bill: president trump now will hold a rally later tonight, phoenix, arizona, also making a stop along the border. what the white house hopes to gain from this trip as the protesters await his arrival there. shannon: plus, the president rolling out his afghanistan strategy promising no safe haven for terrorists and an ultimate victory for america. straight ahead, analysis was u.s. ambassador john bolton.
the dangerous they ve got scores of nuclear weapons. one of the main reasons i think to prevent caliban from re-taking control of afghanistan is so that it doesn t then facilitate similar islamic terrorists from taking control of afghanistan and its arsenal of nuclear weapons. here s a word that was missing last night from the president s speech. china. china made pakistan a nuclear power. china s trying to integrate pakistan into its speed sphere of influence. spending a lot of time there. i think we need to pressure china more given it made pakistan a nuclear power to help eliminate the terrorist threat, and honestly it s in china s interest to do that. they ve skated scot-free on this pakistani problem much of the same way they skated scot-free on the north korean nuclear weapons program. a real south asia strategy ticks into account not just india, but the 800-pound gorilla in the room, which is china. shannon: what you make of this argument that we are at war
would actually keep the troops there begrudgingly. it is not a huge change, but clearly president has a dim view of u.s. intervention around the world, and we know when the conversations that lead up to this policy last night that he was constantly asking the question after 16 years, why are we still there? and probably his instinct, he said in the speech s instincts were to get out, but he decided to go against his instincts after listening to the advice of all of his military advisors. bill: after a lot of discussions. byron, thank you, from washington, d.c. shannon: there are these little screens that move as the sunlight changes, it looks as if you might be being beamed up to a different location. bill: more coming up from there, thank you, byron. shannon: high praise for president trump s new afghanistan strategy. the game has changed with pakistan, the gloves are off
seriously considering pardoning former sheriff who is convicted of criminal contempt of court, but the president has called him great american. he has told media outlets he is not sure of the president will partner him tonight. bill: we will see you him. live in phoenix third day for u us. shannon: president trump lang at a new strategy for year law war in afghanistan. he is going to step up the fight against the taliban are calling on our nato allies to do more. ultimately, the president said it is not to the afghan people to protect themselves. the stronger the afghan security forces become, the less we will have to do. afghans will secure and build their own nation. and defined their own future. we want them to succeed, but we will no longer use american military might to construct democracies in faraway lands or try to rebuild other countries
lucky. shannon: working 24/7 to protect the rest of us and a lot of the efforts we never know about. thank you and to all of those out there, same thing. bill: 9:30 now, vice president mike pence sang a new way forward in afghanistan is well overdue. in many ways we haven t had one strategy for all those years, we have had 16 different years, the 16 different strategies. what president trump announced yesterday was a whole new strategy for south asia. bill: saw that from this morning, how are lawmakers responding to the new strategy? congressman ron desantis is here to answer that question. shannon: and a terrifying scene outside the county courthouse, a judge firing back after getting ambushed by a gunman. why police say the shooter may have known the judge very well. when you see the judge coming down, jumped out of the car, he started shooting. and the judge backed up.
