News coverage is provided. They have 11 percent of voters at this point undecided. The ohio Lieutenant Governor told Elizabeth Prann earlier today how important the president s role here will be. I think voters will show up tonight. Republicans will show up tonight. They will be excited to see the president in ohio in the Buckeye State supporting Troy Balderson is a conservative who has worked to lower taxes. To defend life, protect the Second Amendment to cut unnecessary burdensome regulations. This will be the president s third rally this week. In support of republican candidates and he has made plenty of headlines with his remarks during the rallies often directed at Democratic Political rivals or what he calls the Fake News Media for underreporting his successes in office including the economy. Our economy, is soaring, jobs are booming, factors are
pouring back into the country. They are coming from all over the world. We are defending our workers. We are protecting our constitution. We will likely hear more about that tonight michael. We do not know if well hear more about the president s twitter feed with lebron james who is on another Network Lesson i talked about a new school hes opening in the akron area. The president criticizing lebron james who criticized the president. We will have to see what happens next. Well have more on that coming up in the next hour. Mike thank you, leading us off from charming new jersey. Laura for more on this would go to jack torrey, the Washington Bureau chief. For the dispatch. A lot to talk about today, jack. Thank you for being with us today. To talk about what we are about to experience here in the next few hours. I was reading in your paper that voters in ohio are being inundated with the president ial
election, the Special Election. Millions of dollars being spent for both sides today as youre watching here on the split screen. The president is heading there for Troy Balderson. What are voters saying ahead of this going into the polls . Are they reacting to this type of advertising so far . Is a very good question and a hard one to answer because no one really knows whats getting through here. I think a lot of voters in the district didnt know until couple weeks so that there would be a Special Election next tuesday. All of these ads are aimed at firing up enough people on the base to show up and vote because of the Special Election. It is strictly turn out. If you get your voters to show up you will win. So far, from the early votes and early absentee request the democrats are, danny oconnor, appeared to be doing much better than the republicans. Voters are getting all types of Text Messages and from both candidates and their campaigns, the door knock campaign going
on all week. If you are not going to the polls they are coming to you kind of a feeling there from what we are hearing. Voters in ohio havent gone to the polls in august and quite a while. How do you think it will go, i know it is hard to predict but what are your people saying . Most people say it will be very close. I would say this, republicans are acting like they are in trouble. The congressional leadership to the group connected to speaker ryan has put in about 3 million in Television Ads and on the ground. They are sending in the president , the scent and the Vice President in the eastern part of the district earlier this week. They are acting like they have a problem. Democrats on the other hand a fired up. The key is going to become a Delaware County which is north of columbus, is home to suburban wealthy. Suburban republican voters. The county has the highest
median Household Income in the state. It also has the highest number of percentage of college graduates. This is the demographics that the president has had trouble with. You are seeing if Troy Balderson loses on tuesday, i think it will be a backlash against the president by suburban republicans. Particularly suburban republican women. Laura you bring that appear medical this largely symbolic head of the midterm elections. These two will face up again in november, this is a preview to what we could see across the country. In this case we brought that up with the suburbans. Give a republican district with a pumped up democratic base. So at polling ohio shows voters are frustrated with the president s leadership. What advice at this point could both candidates use . The best thing for both to do would be stay on message. Which is very hard for troy
balderson to do. Because he is a president who should be coming in talking about the economy. Instead, he is launching a twitter war against lebron james. It is just, its not a very understandable strategy. The other problem is going to be at the event tonight, governor kasich was also endorsed Troy Balderson this is his old congressional district. Im not sure he will be there. In fact im pretty sure he will not be there. As a result of a mixed message going on. It is almost a proxy sheet between john kasich and donald trump. And the two of them have made it clear they are not crazy about each other. Laura and get a word in my ear that the president has just tweeted about tariffs. What are voters in ohio saying about tariffs . How are they responding to the rhetoric on twitter . Actually, tariffs are not all that popular in ohio. Although people think they are because they think of it as the rust belt. But if you look at ohio it is a huge agricultural state. The expert like 600 million worth of soybeans to china. Warmers in ohio are going to be hurt by a trade war with china. They will be hurt if nafta is
not renegotiated. Ohio is a nature export state. And they you know no matter how much it sounds good, to have people talking about tariffs, typical voters want to have good prices and they want to be able to export their goods. And you just, this rally will be held not that far from the plant in ohio. Honda did not want to have a trade war. The workers do not want a trade war. Laura you know i want to go back to something. Reports this week the democrats have cast 71 percent of the early votes so far. 2016 General Election republicans in the district, the three biggest counties accounted for 65 percent of the early vote. This is a district that has been held by republicans as 1980. How worried should they be . You are seeing the republicans act like they are worried. Well i think he just ask yourself the obvious question. Think of where half the
audience was in 1982. The last time a democrat won the sea. A lot of them were not born yet. This is a real problem. If the republicans lose on tuesday, and then i am not saying they will, but no one knows for sure. This does not go well, the columbus Business Community has made it pretty clear. The winner of the race will probably end up supporting in the fall. There certainly not run against that person. This raises the stakes for this election. And if the republicans lose a race like this where they put all this morning and all this time and all of this organization, it is not a good sign for the november elections. Everybody knows what is at stake here. Like i said, they should be normally a republican seat. And we do not know what will happen on tuesday. Laura i want to draw our viewers attention to the other half of the screen as we watch for the arrival of the president in ohio. Of course it is not for a little while. But the president factor is one
that cannot be ignored. His ability to spike the intensity of his base, at these rallies we have seen. And we will see more of this. He told sean hannity an interview recently he plans to campaign 6 to 7 days a week during the final two months before the midterms. But some say it could overshadow, it could distract. What do you think for the folks in ohio on that one . Im puzzled by his selection of going in the Delaware County. The truck district stretches all the way out To Zanesville in the east and there are a lot of trump voters out the print Delaware County which is places like dublin and westerville and worthington, these are modern upscale neighborhoods and they are probably, they like the economy, they love the economy, what am i saying . Im sure they dont like the noise that goes with it. And as a result, the voters they are trying to appeal to, because they have been having
john kasich, Senator Portman doing radio spots, those sponsors aimed right at that particular voter. That is the voter that donald trump has been having trouble with. And so its going to be an interesting thing to see if he can connect with them somehow. Im not sure he can. Laura jack tori with cultist dispatch, we appreciate perspective. Obviously will be a big night for you all there. Thank you so much for being with us and sharing. Glad to be with you. Laura stay with the Fox News Channel tonight. We will be in ohio for the president s rally scheduled to begin 6 30 pm eastern time. Then we will bring you live reaction right after with a brandnew episode of Watters World at 8 00. Mike Paul Manafort tax and bank fraud trial, his accountant said she helped alter financial documents even though she believed records were false. Yesterdays admission coming as the president ramped up calls to end the special counsel, Robert Mueller s russia investigation. Sufficient reason. I mean this is really a congressional matter. The irony here is that the argument is president obama did not have the authority to put the program and by way of executive order. I personally agree with that. The administration has 20 days to appeal the ruling. Laura ellison barber, in washington, thank you. Mike after mass manhunt the suspected killer reformer president s heart dr. Is found.

Any violation of the world goal of denuclearize north korea will be something america will take very seriously. Laura meanwhile, the u. S. Delegation delivered a letter to the Foreign Minister for President Trump to kim jongun during the same conference in singapore. Kitty logan is Live In London with more on this. Reporter hi laura. Essentially, north korea is angry that the sanctions are not shifting. They say the s isnt sticking their agreement made at the Singapore Summit. But the terms of the deal are still being worked out like at the meeting today. And the Sticking Point really is how to implement the plan for north korea to get rid of its nuclear weapons. The secretary state mike pompeo wants the International Community to keep up economic pressure on north korea to make sure it happens. He says while it was very much a work in progress he is
confident of a positive outcome. Were determined that chairman kim is committed to doing it. I am optimistic that we will get this done in the timeline and we will celebrate with the Un Security Council what they have demanded. According to the new un report, pyongyang is continuing to develop weapons despite the Singapore Summit and as long as that is happening, the sanctions will not be lifted. But north Korea Foreign minister said today that the government in pyongyang will honor the Ducal Equalization Agreement after an amicable handshake and then criticized us for not relieving sanctions. Something that they want to happen. As you mentioned the delegation did hand over the letter from President Trump to the north korean leader. We do not yet know the context but we know for sure the dialogue with north korea will continue. Laura kitty logan, Live In London, thank you. Mike for more this springtrevo lets bring in rebecca
heinrich. Good to have you with us. Good to be here. Who is to blame if this all falls apart . North korea 100 percent. The Trump Administration has been completely clear. Waterford crystal clear. No sections will be relieved from the United States until the north koreans dismantled the nuclear program. I have not even allowed us into the country to actually see what they have. There has to be a sequence of things that happen to fully denuclearize north korea. And they have not done step one yet. Theyve done things we appreciate. Sending back some of the reported remains of americas war heroes and some of the things but that is not our number one priority. The number one priority is to finally and fully dismantle the north Korean NuclearMissile Program. Mike what would happen if President Trump let up sanctions pressure now . He would be doing exactly what every previous president has done and who has failed. What the Trumpet Ministration is doing that is completely different than previous administrations is to say, i am going to continue to pressure as hard as we can. That is why the tough words from Secretary Pompeo towards china and russia, that is why we are saying this because they relieving some of the sanctions enforcement. That has to stay in place. What we are keeping a place, meanwhile President Trump continues to show kim jongun what could be north koreas future should he choose it. And that is where you are saying all of this. The comments going back and forth, the nice talk, showing them there could be Economic Prosperity but none of it happens unless he makes the decision. Mike Topic Ministry officials have made clear there are limits to their patients with north korea. Is that we are picking up as well . Absolutely. All my conversations between the u. S. Officials privately, publicly, what im hearing from them is consistent across the board. There is a limit to this because the to ministration wants to have progress, real
dismantlement progress before the end of the president s term. Assuming he is one term we have to get that done. He might have two but you cant count on that. So that means, im looking at the feeling that i get is after november, we looking at december, january, if the north koreans have not clearly made that strategic decision to move in another direction, theres going to be maximum pressure part two and it will be the forest in the first round. Mike break out your crystal ball. The question from all folks is, will this time be different with north korea . You know, i think the thing that is hard to predict with the Trump Administration because of such an unconventional president. One thing that gives a little increased help for the administration is that President Trump is determined to actually dismantle and he seems to be. He is not really interested in relieving the status quo. He is not interested in the
north koreans expanding the program. Part of that is you have to have a credible threat of military force. Previous president s have said all options on the table but have not met it. I really get the sense that President Trump is willing to flip the switch and say we tried diplomacy, that didnt work to resolve the strongest most
