A breakdown of major headlines impacting business and politics features a rotating panel of industry experts. Only one who wants special counsel bob mueller to wrap it up. Why democrat mark penn says this whole thing has run its course. And top House Democrat Eric Swalwell says he couldnt be more wrong. Two democrats with two very different takes on one very big show. Cavuto live starts right now. David and welcome, everybody, im david asman in for neil cavuto today. A lot to get to, but first, President Donald Trump gearing up for another Campaign Rally tonight ahead of a key test tuesday night in ohio. Why is this one so important . To foxs Rick Leventhal whos following the president from new jersey. Hi, rick. Reporter and, david, one of the things the president has proven is that hes unpredictable and likely to go off prompter. We expect to see that tonight. His vacation began officially yesterday at the Trump National golf club in nearby bedminister,
but its a working vacation, and thats one of the reasons hes headed off to a rally near columbus, ohio. It is a Get Out The Vote endorsement event. Vice president mike pence was in ohio earlier this week to campaign for balderson, state senator running for ohios 12th Congressional District. Its a district thats been an easy win for republicans in the path. Troy balderson youre going to have lesses taxes, more military funding, more Border Security and more jobs for the people of ohio. [cheers and applause] thats the choice that you face. It couldnt be more clear. Reporter recent polls show this race is tight. It might be a tossup, so this morning the president tweeted will be going to ohio tonight to campaign for Troy Balderson for the big congressional Special Election on tuesday. Early voting is on. Troy is strong on crime, the border and loves our military, vets and second amendment. His opponent is a puppet of nancy pelosi, high taxes. If you were watching that rally on thursday, you know the president went off in pennsylvania on a number of topics including leaders of the Democratic Party and his possible opponents in 2020. Lets say im running against pocahontas [laughter] or crazy bernie i tell ya, i gotta hand it to bernie. I saw him up there the other day, that hair is getting whiter and whiter, and hes getting crazier and crazier. [laughter] reporter so, david, wed like to tell you whats going to happen tonight, but pretty much anything could happen tonight. [laughter] the rallys at 6 30 in central mo, and well have it live in central ohio. David Rick Leventhal, thank you very much. President trump is expected to tout the economy during that ohio rally tonight. Fox business susan lee has the very latest. Susan, theres a lot to tout [laughter]
travel usually takes place. Wages are also picking up, not dramatically in the month, in fact, for the year, but the average hourly wage went up seven cents. The Trump Administration is forecasting the best full year of Economic Growth since 2005. Theyre expecting 3 or better. However, economists still remain skeptical whether this rate is actually sustain bl, because they have concerns over tariffs and the Housing Market continues to cool. But treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin just told fox last month that 3 growth could actually be sustainable for the next four to five years, and the Atlanta Division of the federal reserve, the central bank, just predicted 5 growth for the july to september period, and that, david, would be the strongest since 2014. David and jobs, i mean, the idea that you have more jobs than you have people applying for them right. Six million. David thats never happened in my lifetime. It is a record. Its pretty strong out there, right . Six million jobs available, six million unemployed, its just matching the skill set to the jobs. David extraordinary time in our country. Thank you, susan, good to see you. Is a Strong Economy enough to stop a blue wave in november . To democratic strategist rochelle richie, alex smith and trump for president Advisory Board member and a guy whos actually once for bernie ill never live it down. David harlan hill. Good to see you all. Alex, 4 growth, extraordinary in the last quarter. Strong potential at 3 growth which we havent seen in eight or nine years. Rising wages, investments, more jobs than weve ever seen. Its hard to beat this on the campaign trail. Yeah. And ill note that republicans in 2016, our various republican candidates that were running talked about 4 growth as a
reality for the United States. Now that were seeing it play out into reality, i think its going to put the squeeze on democrats this upcoming election because once the economys doing well, people feel like they have jobs, wages are rising, theyre likely to turn their attention to other issues. And a big issue thats coming up and a big issue that motivates people to go to the polls is the Supreme Court. And we have, of course, judge kavanaugh whos up for confirmation, and we have ten Democratic Senators running in states the president won in 2016 who are under a lot of pressure. David but, rochelle, still theres not like the economy. Jim carville came out with that expression its the economy, stupid, when other people were saying, well, theres this, theres that. Its the economy. Is that still right, what what jim carville said many years ago . Look, i think republicans need to hold off on celebrating the economy because, quite frankly, we still have a lot of uncertainties. We dont know whats going to happen with the trade war, we
dont mow how the know how the tariffs david thats true, but americans have never been more confident. Consumer confidence is at the highest level they are confident. But getting to your question about democrats, i think that what democrats lack in this is an overall message. I dont think that they have a message that is really going to attract independents and moderates, and im sorry to hear that because i was the Press Secretary for the House Democratic policy and communications committee. We were tasked with drafting an economic message. You may remember it, it was a better deal, were the jobs better jobs, better wages, better future. David i do recall. Now that you have this economy doing well, that message is not going to serve as strong david you think democrats really gotta get their act together. The elections coming up soon. They need to have a strong message thats going to attract independents and moderates. David but, harlan, when americans feel so good about the economy no matter what message democrats come out with, i cant imagine it beating the
health care . Now, hes clearly, hes trying Different Things to try to get rates down, making available very simple plans that are just sort of catastrophic plans that dont cost that much. Right. David is that going to be enough for voters. I think he is doing his best to provide free Market Alternatives to what is out there right now. And certainly, i think, he hopes that congress will provide him with symptom legislative relief some legislative relief in this arena too. An important driver in this Economic Growth, speaking of legislation that was in congress and there were a lot of democrats opposed, was the tax cuts and jobs act. This is a big driver david oh, absolutely. And there may, by the way, be another tax cut on the docket before the election are. It wont be passed, but, rochelle, you said democrats are lacking economic message. I think you would agree with me that one economic message is going to be the cost of health care for democrats, right . Well, certainly. And i dont think that they want to jump onboard this whole med kale for medicare for all. I dont think that going the
Democratic Socialist david you dont think thats a good route . No, it is not. I am not a fan of it. David well, whats going to happen though . Because theres a big battle in the Democratic Party for that. Its really divided right now. But i think that they have to get away from that sort of message right now because its not attractive for moderates or independents. Youre absolutely right david i agree. If we dont solve this problem now, were on a Collision Course with socialism. Eventually the American People are going to throw their hands up and say we need relief from the high cost of health care. If we dont solve this with Free Market Principles today, it creates a much bigger problem down the road. And dont forget as a political matter in the short term, the 2020 contenders on the democratic side who are pretty much all in favor of medicare for all are really putting the squeeze on these 2018 democrats that are up in these david by the way, im amazed. Here we have a former bernie supporters, a democrat who was very activity in the campaign all agreeing on a couple of
points. [laughter] secretary pompeo issuing a warning, the north koreans calling it alarming. Could a deal be unraveling . And forget protesters trying to shut down i. C. E. , this new york candidate for Attorney General wants to prosecute i. C. E. Agents. What does former i. C. E. Director tom 40 hohmann have to say about that . You can guess hes hot. You dont want to miss him coming up. I just switched to geico and got more. More . Got a company i can trust. Thats a heck of a lot more. Over 75 years of great savings and service. You cant argue with more. Why would ya . Geico. Expect great savings and a whole lot more. These days. Its just the nature of the way we are as a world now. But people forget how long it took Ronald Reagan to successfully deal with mikhail gosh alcohol. It took gorbachev. It took years of meeting after meeting before progress was made. Well, certainly, it did take years, david. And, in fact, we thought we were losing it at a particular point until s. T. A. R. T. And, of course, he promised star wars and a host of other things. It was really internal that things started to come unglued in the kremlin. Yes, what secretary pompeo has done is really advance something that we failed in 93 and 2000, 2009 and under barack obama in 2012 with the leap ahead. The reality is that we are making progress. Weve got those 55 alleged, you know, parts of, you know, our soldiers back. We have three prisoners released. David yes. We have, you know, a tunnel destroyed that that they used for testing. Theyve destroyed an icbm test site. Now at the same time though as, you know, the secretary said the other day in the senate, theyre continuing to make fissile material. Theyre continuing to, you know, put together another launch site. David and the icbms, the actual missiles they coulds that could deliver these nukes that could deliver these nukes, but you have the secretary of state, this is a guy who really is instruction trusted. You talk to the Intel Community, and im sure you know how well he is respected. Nobodys going to pull the wool over this guys eyes. You know, i certainly hope not. You know . David is there any doubt in your mind . Well, at this point, dave, weve been you know, i spent a year looking at the north koreans across the demilitarizedded zone. That. David yes. I kind of understand a little bit about to which im speaking. Now, but at the same time we have to recognize that less than a year ago there was a Hydrogen Bomb explosion in north korea. There was a icbm launch. David thats true. Those people have flipped on a dime in the past. We have to recognize who were dealing with. Meanwhile, russia is not being helpful, as the secretary points out, and neither is china on, you know, exchanging or selling them secretly petrol. So behind the scenes theres a lot going on. Certainly in my book i point out i really believe were in a new cold war. Were seeing this played out today behind the scenes with regard to what president xi is doing in beijing to manipulate a lot of not only economic issues, but cyber issues as well as proxies like north korea. The same thing with vladimir putin. You know, pompeo said today that they have they, the russians have hired a bunch
of north koreans in violation of u. N. Sanctions. Why . You know, thats a allowing money to flow back to fuel some of this bad stuff theyre doing. So we do have a long way ahead. We need some assurances david its a tough nut. Colonel be, were running out of time, but i just, i want to switch to another part of that alliance of evil, which is iran. There are protesters going on all over iran this morning, and it looks like were entering into another period where these protests are getting very hot. The squeeze was put on iran. We got rid of the Iran Nuclear Deal which put extra that economic pressure on the country. Their currency has dropped twothirds in value. Youre seeing violent protests all over iran. This may spread. And it hearkens back to something that donald trump said that a lot of his detractors said, okay, come on, thats not true. Lets play it from not long ago. Iran is not the same country
anymore. That i can say. And well see what happens. But were ready to make a real deal, not the deal that was done by the Previous Administration which was a disaster. David so, colonel, this is classic trump m. O. Which is that you squeeze a country until they really hurt, and then you offer them some chance to talk to them. Is that a proper strategy in dealing with iran . Well, i think so. President rouhani is really in desperate situation here, you know, politically. And, of course, hes running to the irgc, the quds force, the most conservative part of that organization. And unfortunately, they may lash out at these demonstrations. We saw this in 2009 when barack obama refused to do anything to help the, you know, the population. What would be a good outcome, of course, is a revolution are. And to topple the unpopular mullahs that are running that country. David yeah. But they have a lot of tools
to lash out; strait of hormuz, certainly, what theyre doing in syria, yemen and so forth. David by the way, these protesters are specifically targeting the supreme leader. Not just the president , but the supreme leader, so its a very interesting moment. Good. David colonel, thank you very much. Well, President Trumps not the only one who would like to see special counsel bob muellers probe shut down. So would democrat mark penn. Why . The former Clinton Pollster is here next to explain. Motorcycle revving Motorcycle Revving Motorcycle Revving Motorcycle Revving no matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. And just like tyrone taylor, they know what it takes to help keep you protected. Are you in good hands . Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Man Fort is underway, so what are we learning . Gillian turn e has the very latest Finish Turner has the very latest. The latest developments in Paul Manaforts tax and Bank Fraud Trial played out yesterday, his former accountant took to the Witness Stand and testified shed filed tax returns she believes may have contained false information. She also acknowledged that doing so probably amounted to Criminal Activity. She admitted she had a sense that manafort lied to her about where money being transferred into his Political Consulting business us coming from. Now, this was the first time a witness in the trial this week admitted to potential wrongdoing. The mueller teams now trying to prove manafort improperly list ared millions of dollars of income as loans in order to avoid paying income tax and that it was kept hidden from the urs in illegal overseas accounts. Meanwhile, President Trump creating news of his own this week when he called for attorney
general Jeff Sessions to, quote, stop it right now via twitter and doubled down on some of his criticisms. Now, were being hinderedded by the russian hoax. Its a hoax, okay . Ill tell you what, russias very unhappy that trump won, that i can tell you. But i got along great with putin. Reporter elsewhere in the executive branch, newlyreleased email showed that peter strzok asked to keep some of the investigatory powers he held when he transitioned over to muellers team. On july 13, 2017, he wrote to fbi officials requesting authority to approve National Security letters and declassify information. In response, the fbi assistant director of counterintelligence, william prestapp, assured strzok, quote while assigned to the special counsels office, you will retain your authorities to include declassification authority. He was also granted permission to retain his security clearance, david. David thank you very much. Is so is donald trump right that it is time to wrap up the Mueller Probe . To former Hillary Clinton strategist mark penn who a lot of people would be surprised to find out agrees with the president on this. Why, mark . Well, look, i spent a year of my life fighting the ken starr dependent counsel on behalf of president clinton, and really that was a waste of a year for the country. I think now that we have achieved a level of peace and prosperity, frankly we havented had since the late 90s, once again were about to be consumed possibly by an investigation and impeachment, and its wrong. It affects our Foreign Policy. Every day this investigation seems to undermine itself. The carter page warrant really was not based on anything much more than the dossier and a yahoo article. Look at this trial of paul Paul Manafort. Where is russia. David well, and the judge
clearly, mark, as you well know, the judge in the trial has said this has nothing to do with what you, mr. Mueller and your team the, were empowered to do which was to check into Russia Collusion. Has nothing to do with that at all, so youre right. But like ken starrs, as you mentioned, it has spun into Different Things. Im just wondering if mr. Mueller is less interested in why he was empowered in the fist place to investigate Russia Collusion with the Trump Campaign than he is in getting rid of donald trump. Well, i think theres no question that hes going to have a report here that tries to say, well, maybe he didnt find collusion, but maybe it was close and there was obstruction of justice and all of these facts. And i think that hes going to try the ken starr route. If he does it before this congressional election, i suspect like in 98 it will boomerang, and if he does it after, hell see which way Congress Goes to see if he can get impeachment, although its a fruitless exercise in the absence of any evidence that the
public doesnt know. Everybody saw the firing of james comey, Everybody Knows his story in the terms of what he did in these investigations. You know, the whole thing now has become a National Waste of time and preoccupation when we should be debating the issues. David in his defense, what he would say is, look, we found out things about the way the russians operated in the 2016 election that neededded to be uncovered, so there has been some progress made, there have been people indicted, etc. , to which you say what . Look, those were Show Indictments of russian intelligence. Just before a summit. Maybe we were trying to get a different relationship with russia so we could get help on iran, help versus china and north korea. Hes influencing and affecting the Foreign Policy of the country by doing Show Indictments like that rather than putting that in a report to the nation. Thats the kind of stuff that should have been in a report instead of Show Indictments that he knows are never going to be david you know, and other people say if hes really
interested in russian collusion beyond indicting russians, there was the issue of what happened with this Trump Dossier, whether russian disinformation, russian elements were involved in putting that together. Of course, that would involve the Hillary Campaign who helped fund the Trump Dossier more than it would republicans. Well, i think that this is one of the things that has americans divided and upset. They see a full, allout investigation of everybody who was even close to trump, they see a trial of somebody that probably there would have been an audit here, maybe a criminal referral, but the entire weight of the u. S. Government wouldnt be on Paul Manafort had he not served for two months, you know, in the Trump Campaign. They see associates being targeted in a way that is really not the typical way that we expect david well, mark, in just a couple of moments im going to have on a fellow be democrat colleague of yours, representative Eric Swalwell, who when the president
suggested well, he didnt actually say, but when the president , some of his associates suggested that maybe its time for mueller to if not wrap, be fired, he says and im quoting Eric Swalwell fire mueller and we fire you. To which you say what . Look, i dont think the president should fire mueller. I dont think that would be the right end to this. Theres a very interesting challenge by one of the witnesses that promised prompted a 93page opinion i havent read yet which should be appealed whether muellers appointment with his broad powers, whether he really is an inferior officer. I think in thats probably the most promising way to shut this down, otherwise its going to run its course. David what would you tell democrat swalwell, your colleague, when he criticizes those who criticize mueller . I would say read the dossier, read the carter page warrant, actually read it. The dossier is a joke. It was tone as research, and you see in the carter page that, in
fact, this is a threat to american civil liberties. Thats what this investigation is, i think, more than anything else. David mark penn, great to see you. Thank you very much. Well, if you didnt already hear, apple is now the worlds first trillion dollar company. Laugh its hard to imagine, as investors celebrate that milestone thanks to capitalism. Well, the woman Many Democrats call their rising star continues to push socialism. Is that really the road democrats want to go down ahead of november . Herman cain knows the answer and says former President Obama knows it as well. Hell explain. En it comes to hi, nobody does it better. He also loves swiping picnic baskets. Hee, hee, Hee Yoooogiiiiiii but when it comes to mortgages, hes less confident. Here, yogi. Thank you boo boo. Fortunately, theres Rocket Mortgage hmmm. Hey. By quicken loans. Its simple, so he can understand the details and get approved in as few as eight minutes. My kind of picanic basket. Apply simply. Mmmhmmm. Hee, hee. Understand fully. Mortgage confidently. Rocket mortgage by quicken loans. A democrat socialist. To cause owe cortez taking that message to california this week, the same week california the same week californiabased apple becomes the first trillion dollar u. S. Company. So which message is going to win out in november, capitalism or socialism . With me now to discuss is former republican president ial candidate and former Godfathers Pizza ceo herman cain. Herman, great to see you, my friend. Thank you, david. David ive got to say, this is not the moment i dont feel sympathy for people that are prosocialist when you think of all the millions of people who have died In The Name Of socialism. However, there are some moments when the economys going through desperate struggles and everything when perhaps people are looking for some solution, and they stumble upon social this is not one of those moments. The economys booming. Weve never had more jobs than we have now. Wages are going up, investment is going at great guns. Is now the moment when American Voters are going to say, yeah, maybe socialism will work . No. This is not the moment. I agree with you. First, there is no such thing as a Democratic Socialist. Its a play on words to dupe people into believing that socialism might be an option. Secondly, socialism has never worked in the history of mankind. Can we say venezuela . Venezuela is so bad because of its socialist communist dictatorship that they dont even have rations to ration anymore. David and we should mention, herman, as you know very well that venezuela was the richest not just a rich country, but the richest country in all of latin america. It had more oil reserves than any country in the world. Yes. David so of all the countries, if you have bigger oil reserves than any country in the world and you end up poverty stricken, that shows youve got a bad system working. Yes. They still have the oil, they just do not know how to get it out of the ground efficiently, and the corrupt leaders take most of the benefit. The s in socialism, if people dont remember anything else, stands for suffering. Suffering of the people. And the word Democratic Socialist, the word socialism is just a slow walk to communism. Suffering is what the people will ultimately encounter when they believe in this rhetoric about being a socialist. David right. You know, one person who some people say agrees with you on a lot of what you just said is former President Obama who actually did not endorse to cause owe cortez when he went through his list of democrats that hes endorsing for november. Do you think that the split in the Democratic Party and earlier in this hour we heard another democrat who said she thinks socialism is a terrible idea, wants to dissociate herself from
that. Do you think that that split will interfere with the socalled blue wave come november . There will be no blue wave, number one. Secondly, President Obama is very coy. He endorsed people that are not openly socialist, but they are. But he would not endorse someone who is openly socialist. So those that are below the socialist radar, he endorsed. But those that are out there screaming i am a Democratic Socialist and pushing 333, he didnt endorse david its kind of like tom perez, the dnc chair yes. David saying that my daughter says that ocasiocortez is the future of the Democratic Party. He said my daughter believer it so, essentially, it was a nonendorsement endorsement. Right. It was a nonendorsement endorsement. And his daughter and ocasiocortez, they do not represent the future of the
party. If they represent the future of the party, the party is done. The American People are not stupid when they are given the truth. David yeah, but what is confusing to me, and this is again a week when apple which is the darling of millennials and the darling of old folks like us as well, but the millennials love apple, apples a trillion dollar company. Right. David apple is the epitome of what capitalism can accomplish. Think of really the millions of people who have been employed either directly or indirectly by apple, the prosperity and the comfort that we all appreciate as a result of that company. So, and yet millennials i think 280 of theres been a 280 growth of young democrat socialists in america since 2016, and of course, the overwhelming majority of them are millennials. Well, i dont think they represent all of the millennials. Apple is an example of what capitalism will do when you
create a unique product and you continue to improve it. Thats what apple has done in order to achieve its success. The c in Capitalism Stands for competition. And even though competition has gone after apple, they have continued to improve their product. Thats why they hit a trillion dollars. David yeah. So the c in Capitalism Stands for competition which is good for this economy david yes. And we are seeing it today. And the s in socialism is for suffering of the people. David finally, herman, you had to deal with bottom lines as a head of a company, You Couldnt Deal with opinions, you had to deal with the bottom line numbers. You look at some of the bottom line numbers of one of their key proposals which is the completely socialize our health care system. There was a study out this week its going to cost 32 trillion over ten years. Now, our budget comes to about 32 trillion over ten years, so youd have to eliminate everything except health care
coverage, and no telling how health care would drop in quality as a result of its socialization. So just look at the numbers, it doesnt work. Whether that resonate with voters, with the American Public . It will not resonate with the majority of voters. It might resonate with some voters. Let me give you one other reason as to why that 32 trillion is insane. Name one program that the government has been totally in charge of that has worked other than the military . David thats right. Thats why that number is so insane. David thats right. Let the private sector continue to do its thing. Lets restore the health care that we had before the unaffordable care act was shoved down our throats, before the unaffordable care acting, yes, we had a leak in the roof, but we didnt need to blow up the whole building to fix the roof. [laughter] now we dont have a building, weve got rain falling on
everybody. Youve got people who had insurance who dont have it anymore, and they still continue to push this idea that the government knows better than the people, and the government does not know better than the people of this country. David a great place to end. The great herman cain. Erman, great to see you, my friend. Thank you so much. Thank you, david. David much appreciated. Have a great weekend. Well, china just firing the latest salvo in the trade war with President Trump. What will it mean for you and what you buy . Were on it. And first, it was abolish i. C. E. Now a farleft democrat candidate wants to prosecute the agency and its agents. What what does former i. C. E. Director tom hohmann have to say about that . Hes back on cavuto live. Actually progress in the nafta overhaul talks. So is the white house right that shortterm pain will lead to longterm gain . Here with us now is Fox Business Networks Charlie Gasparino and susan lee along with h squared chief Research Officer hitha hertz sog. Susan, chinas hurting right now. They are. David the stock markets way down, investment are way down, Consumer Spending is way down. So the idea is that the Trump Administration thinks were stronger, theyre weaker, its a good time to squeeze them. I totally agree because, yes, were in Bear Market Territory for the shanghai. The currency has been devalued because they need to get the economy going once again, and we have Credit Conditions in china. Credit conditions is a big deal for a country thats overleveraged at over 260 to gdp. So, yes, it is in a weaker position. But, you know, china and its leader for life, president xi jinping, he feels like he needs
to play a strong hand since it is a nationalist platform that he has to really sell to the people of china. David charlie i think she buried the lead. How did i bury the lead . What is he, leader for life . He doesnt care. David He Doesnt Care about the people, whether theyre suffering. Theyll take a lot of pain. But he cares about looking strong for the people. Hes leader for life. Im telling you david well, he designated himself that. I dont know if he will be, and i dont know how long his life will be. Listen, i think we should get tough on china with Intellectual Property david all that. I think we should get a coalition of countries together to put pressure on them. David its not unreasonable, what were asking themed to do in that regard. No, no. But if you go toe to toe and they want to extract pain on us, they can live with pain longer than us because were a democratic country. Were going to have midterm elections. And one other thing, if we dont print 4 gdp a couple more
times, the deficit is a trillion dollars now, its going to get to 1. 5 trillion. David how much can the u. S. Consumer take in terms of pain. So far they havent suffered a lot, and Consumer Confidence is still way up there. If it begins to weigh on the consumer, when does it reach a Breaking Point here . Its not going to, i mean, we can its going to be for a very long time. This trade war, whatever is happening right now, is, you know, were seeing incremental issues happening. But when its really going to start to affect the consumer is when its going to start to have a massive impact on imports coming in, you know, goods that we get its already happening. Yeah, but were not going to david not to the point where its changed Consumer Confidence. Susan, i had ken fisher on fox business, hes the guy who says id go to hell before id sell an aknewty. Weve seen his annuity. Weve seen his television ads. Hes not an idealogue at all. And he says the impact of these tariffs, even the ones that are projected we dont know whether theyre going to go through or not pressure are so miniscule that that theyre not going to affect the boom weve seen in this country. I completely agree. I think its more important on the corporate level. China has snucked that 44 billion between qualcomm and ixp . Is what about disney and 21st Century Fox assets . That could be . Do you read the Wall Street Journal . David yeah, in fact, thats where we get most of our information. I pick it up once in a while david i worked for the Wall Street Journal for 14 years. So did i, for nine years. And i think you should read some of the articles on the impacts on cities that are and areas of the country that are already being impacted negatively. David well, there is by tariffs. David [inaudible] hold on a second, hitha. There have been some good stories in the journal, to
charlies points about how some farmers are suffering. They are, absolutely, and that has a massive impact. However, when we talk about the consumer, youre not going to see were talking about a group of people that dont even want to leave their sofas to buy things at the grocery store. Theyre looking at amazon just to make sure that they have groceries coming in. A little bit of an increase isnt going to have a massive impact just yet. David guys, if you havent had enough of this group, youre going to get more of them in the next couple hours. Stay tuned. The search for Mollie Tibbets is intensifying. We have the very latest coming up. We called usaa. And they greeted me as they always do. Sergeant baker, how are you . They took care of everything a to z. Having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa now thats a privilege. Mollie tibbets to come forward. Our own matt finn is in brooklyn, iowa, with the very latest. Matt . Reporter david, 20yearold Mollie Tibbets was last seen on july 18th while jogging, and here on the ground in brooklyn, iowa, there is a growing sense of concern and desperation because investigators are being so unbelievably tightlipped. They basically have not released any new information since mollie went missing on july 18th other than to say she was likely wearing a pink top and black running shorts. People here are kind of saying, look, if you can give us some information, describe a suspect or give us a lead, maybe we can help you in this search. Police acknowledging that frustration saying, bear with us, because we do not want to release any type of information that might make it into the wrong hands. Investigators even saying every day we wake up and determine what can we release to the public, and so far they basically have not released anything. The reward that risen to 220,000, the family partnering
with crimestoppers. Crimestoppers telling fox news this 220,000 is to incentivize anyone who might be Holding Mollie Captive to release her. The family says they do believe she is alive and being held captive somewhere. Here is mollies mother and one of her brothers. I can say theyre doing what they have to do. You know, they cant give us information because they dont want to compromise the case. So i just know theyre doing what, you know, theyre doing what they have to do. Just to come home, that we miss her, to keep fighting because we know she is. And then, you know, we cant wait for her to be home and be back to our normal lives and have stupid fights with her and all that, all that fun brother sister stuff, you know . Never thought youd miss it. Reporter you can only imagine the hour to record and the agony of that family. Police say they do have a
timeline of the day mollie went missing, but they have also not released that to the public. Right now the family is praising police saying that the search is sophisticated, and it is worth noting that there is a pig farmer not far from here who says hes been visited by the fbi Motorcycle Revving Motorcycle Revving no matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. And just like tyrone taylor, they know what it takes to help keep you protected. Are you in good hands . Create a program Out Of Nowhere but another president doesnt have the authority to end it. I certainly hope the administration will win it on appeals. Is a 34 year Career Veteran i do not understand the judges ruling. Ed to those not familiar with that the daca program was set up under an Executive Order by President Obama, not a law endorsed by full congress. That would be something a president couldnt undo but one Executive Order can be undone by another Executive Order if it is not endorsed by congress, correct . The Attorney General himself said the program is illegal so i think the judge made an error. I certainly think he ought to appeal his decision. Growing currency in some parts, not all parts of the
democrat party but certainly some part started with ocasiocortez and Elizabeth Warren jumped on the bandwagon to abolish ice. What do you make of this movement . I think it is ridiculous, abolishing ice includes open borders. What happens if you abolish ice from an Immigration Perspective . You are home free and no one is looking for you. It is open borders. If you get arrested by Border Patrol and get released, most judges, you are home free. Ed customs is a part of ice as well. Not just the bad people would be infiltrated into the United States but what they bring in. A lot of drugs and guns coming in but wouldnt it be worse if you got rid of customers . Absolutely. If you look at that side the Security Program run by homeland
security under ice they presented the issuance of visas to 8000 people. They found derogatory information to investigations and prevent people from coming into this country. If they forget, 1000 children were rescued from child predators, they were sitting in their on ice. And and what that would mean to the public and National Security in this country is unbelievable. And talk to your congressman and senator. Some of those congressmen, senators and candidates for Public Office say not only should you abolish ice but should prosecute ice agents for things they dont like. This is a woman you are looking at now who is running for Attorney General from the state of new york, she says prosecute ice agents to which you say what . A difficult thing for the last six months but the most far left, if she wants to be the top cop in new york, she tried and convicted ice officer for violating the law i want her to give me one example where a nice agent violated law in the state of new york. Last year ice arrested and removed 5000 criminal aliens, if you commit a crime on citizens of new york we took to the streets, she should be sending ice a thank you letter rather than threatening to prosecute. This is the week we had facebook remove what was another attack from the outside, possibly russia to incite in the
social community. Whoever this agent was we assume was russia trying to get people to join the antiice movement, and only a movement that is pursued by leftleaning candidates in the United States, but by the russians. It is common knowledge. Far left democrats doing what they are doing, they are satisfying the russian government very well. Trying to divide americans people are falling for it. And to support the president , and whether you like him or not he is president of the United States and we should be supporting him. His success means the countrys success. It is common sense. There are divisions in the country about exactly what has
been done specifically for the Illegal Immigrants in this country, the question of the division of families. For some reason it was perfectly proper where the parents were involved in bag Criminal Activity needed to be separated from their children. And what is your view of that. I felt very strongly about that. Im very vehemently against family separation. How would you answer ivanka. No one wants to see families separated but put the blame where it belongs, a judge of the
ninth circuit, you cant detain families together, we would like to detain them together until you see a judge but when you did that in fy 14 the judge ordered most removed and went south and the numbers that went down, they wanted to say. I was on the hill numerous times this past year asking to close the loophole for the settlement agreement. If you want people to come to this country to claim political asylum and to see a judge, detain them in a Family Setting to see a judge. Once you release the many dont show up in court and they get ordered, they dont leave. What enforcement did was try to fix the border problem or control the border because the legislature failed and we still dont have a wall. We should mention there is a
delay in our speakers here. The border wall still isnt up. In the beginning stages. How much if that is constructed will that affect the work of ice agents, Border Patrol. The wall has worked every place. I was in the Border Patrol in the early 80s when i went to san diego and it had a significant impact. Whether san diego, el paso, resulted in decreased failure migration, it has proven effective 100 that time so why would we not want it. The Border Patrol, the barriers for ice. Border security isnt real security, and Border Security. The demonization of ice and h ice agents. The most reprehensible part of this whole thing. And they are sacrifices their own lives. An awful play in los angeles, play itself is not awful, the diary of an frank is a great play but what they do is replaced the nazi Storm Troopers with ice agents putting ice agents in the form of not the Storm Troopers. This is acceptable by los angeles standards. What do you make of Something Like that . We have removed nazi war
criminals. People who write these place and say these things, go walk the National Wall in washington dc with 400 names of people who died for this country, and they were nazis the racists, just incredible. Enforce laws enacted by congress. If you dont like what ice does talk to your congressman. Congress wont fix it so it comes back on ice. What gets me is the rhetoric goes to ice agents, they are antihispanic. Look at the list of ice agents, Border Patrol agents who have been killed in the line of duty, martinez, moralities, gomez, alpharettas, etc. So many hispanics themselves, ice agents, custom agents killed in the line of duty, protecting your family, a hispanic killed
in the line of duty, antihispanic. I have done this at 34 years, finest men of women, the bottom line is you can protest all you want, say you want, ice will not be bullied into not enforcing the laws of this country. And you cant be part of the greatest country on earth. Without ice. Thank you for being here. Appreciate you coming on. The president on his way to ohio to campaign for the republican running in a tight Special Election, that vote days away, all eyes are on this one. House candidate in the 12th Congressional District Special Election just three days away, many seeing that is a bellwether for the midterms in november. How many times have we heard that in the past year . Here to discuss is bree payton from the federalist. Lets talk specifically about ohio and the 12 district and expand. In the 2016 president ial election donald trump won that district 53 42 against Hillary Clinton, a huge margin. The republican candidate, troy alderson, is only ahead by one percentage point, within the margin of error. The democrat is at 43 , balderson that 44 . Why have things changed . Is it because of these particular personalities or Something Else going on . It is becoming more clear the
Republican Party is the party of trump and the fact that donald trump is going to campaign on baldersons be have and balderson himself decided to align himself as part of trumps agenda and that indicates that is what the Republican Party is at this point and when voters cast their ballots in a couple days they will either cast the ballot in favor of donald trump and continuing Donald Trumps agenda or cast the ballot in the opposite direction, saying we dont like what the president has been doing. It is all about trump. That is a simplistic way of rephrasing that but i think Donald Trumps presence bottom line is you are onto something. It may be simplistic but sometimes the simple things are the truest things, look what happened in florida where rhonda santos, a terrific candidate, i dont want to dismiss his abilities, but he was campaigning, he was all over trump, he practically tattooed
trump on his 4 head and he apparently believes that trump factor is going to be what it takes. Exactly. The democratic candidate has not been saying extreme socialist things like other candidates. He has been a little more moderate and that is why he is such a challenge, voters in that area are more moderate and more likely to vote for someone who is going to say these are the things i will deviate when it comes to Donald Trumps agenda but im not saying abolish ice. That makes him more palatable to normal people in ohio casting ballots, that is an interesting
look at what is going on in the Democratic Party. He has called for new leadership, nancy pelosi to be replaced. He is calling for new leadership in the Democratic Party. Nancy pelosis position is tenuous and that is going to be an end in tennessee diane black was thought to be a shoe in, she lost out even though the Vice President went down, the pens affect is not the same as the trump effect. She was anticipated throughout all this, the golden girl going throughout all this, using her name to campaign. That shows we are in a political era that is completely new. If we have learned anything the past two years it is the experts
are often wrong. Great to see you, have a great weekend, social Media Companies under fire for not doing enough to crack down on Election Meddling. Is that their job . We will debate that coming up. Honey, this gigspeed internet is ridiculously fast. We are finally keeping up with the fords. Keeping up with the garcias. Keeping up with the harveys. Keeping up with the wahhthewahh the romeros. Carters. Patels. The allens. Wah. Wolanskes. Right, them. No one is going to have internet like this. No one is going to have internet like this. Gig to more homes than anyone. Not just the joneses. Over here. Xfinity. The largest gigspeed network. Technology companies have a Frontline Responsibility to secure their own networks, products and platforms. We are doing our part by providing actionable intelligence to better enable them to address use of their platforms by foreign actors. Donald trumps top National Security officials mourn they need the private sectors help to prevent Election Meddling by russians and others come november but is that their job . Here to discuss this, Charlie Gasparino. Let me start with john. What do you think of this mix of government with the private sector . Can we be serious . Any other country would give anything to have a 500 billion business in its orbit. Ankle biters in the federal government persistently harassed facebook and 500 billion is the operative number. We are talking 10,000 add bys. That is infinitesimal, microscopic on facebook, the notion that it was used by alleged russian interests to influence anything is just not serious and we embarrass ourselves globally when we pretend it is. I covered the Facebook News this weekend and they talked about a digital arms race. Maybe twitter, facebook and youtube are digital dealers,
social media has been weapon eyes to and it means there is an affront to the first amendment, civil discourse, politics. We need to come to this realization of the oped piece in the New York Times released this weekend said they need to face reality. What they do has impact on political ramifications. What do you think . Funny to listen to rightwingers talk about this, like myself because what we try to do is on one hand say facebook and twitter are very useful, great for discourse. On the other hand we try to rationalize trumps existence in the white house think russian meddling had no role and russians using Social Media Platforms did not sway votes. It is impossible to prove the latter point. No one is going to admit they were swayed. Impossible to prove someone was swayed by facebook and twitter. What we do know is russians use it, foreign actors use it, theres plenty of trolling on it and it is up to these companies, hate to break it to john,
companies are regulated. This is not utopia. They have to abide by certain rules. Will the regulation or however they cooperate affect what we as consumers appreciate . If facebook was a private company they could do whatever they want. Because just because they are a private company they are regulated. To your point, it is regulated and the Board Of Directors they have to answer to. To your point they have to define what is swaying, advised by different entities and whatever that means they have to define that. Will gum up the works of what it is facebook does to have a government involved in this way . I dont think so. According to their earnings they have to go in and figure out what to spend on security and securing everything. John has to have a chance to defend himself. Facebooks obligation is to its shareholders. Facebook cause Hillary Clinton not to campaign or campaign in michigan . David knows well. I can attest to that, john many times has come out this is not about trump but whether or not government interference on private companies will affect their behavior. Are you arguing i wont be able to see my Friends Dog Pictures if the government gets involved in facebook . A much bigger threat to my wellbeing is a 4 trillion
federal government, not some business that is worth 500 billion not meeting the needs of the people. What is it about regulation, when we learn regulation never works you it always comes up the works. None of that environment. Worked ever . Facebook is exponentially more popular than the Political Class and if i were facebook, we will shut more popular than the Political Class. A lot of stuff about Marco Tucker Berg mark zuckerberg. 32 accounts. They are in a pr they need
to do something. You saw how much money stock lost when he went on the record saying he has to spend all this money to get security up and running. Let her finish. A certain point is a marketing thing. Also lastminute because people, and fake accounts. Hold on. The market will take care of these things. This is an economic decision based on facebook. You dont need Charlie Gasparino or regulators why on earth i dont think we should have
environmental laws. You make it sound like no regulation, never works. And have that discussion go ahead, last word. Not just dealing with russia but regulation across the board. Final word. Facebook, you dont ask people who could never get a job, that creates real value. Thank you very much. The end to the Mueller Probe, what does democrat congressman Eric Smallwell make of this . You can expect donald trump to ramp up his Media Attacks in ohio. Did his daughter ivanka help him finetune his message by seeking a break from his Media Message . Motorcycle revving Motorcycle Revving Motorcycle Revving no matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. And just like tyrone taylor, they know what it takes to help keep you protected. Are you in good hands . What would you tell democrats wall well, your colleagues, when he criticizes those criticize . Read the dossier, read the warrant, read it. The dossier is a joke. It was done you see the carter page, this is a threat to american civil liberties. That is what this investigation is more than anything. Former democratic strategists telling fellow democrats it is time to shut down the Mueller Probe. Democrat Congressman Erics Wallwell is what the house judiciary committee. Congressman, a threat to civil liberties, you would say what . The Mueller Investigation is relevant because foreign adversary stock to influence and
evidence that they could work with them. I reviewed more documents than anyone in the investigation because i interviewed dozens of witnesses along with House Intelligence Committee colleagues that reviewed the Fisa Investigation and what i see is good reasons to continue the investigation and learn more. You say a moment of the Trump Campaign, members of the Trump Campaign working with a wanted to work with the russians. I havent seen specific evidence of that collusion. And what can you tell us about it . They say the russian government put together the president sunset, move 7 and to take the meeting. You think that is evidence,
the Big Smoking Gun promised by a lot of democrats for collusion in the russia trump investigation. That shows the effect of the trump team, they were willing to work with the russians. A lot of other evidence out there, to candidates very closely. There is much evidence connecting the Clinton Campaign and their involvement in the Trump Dossier which had some information, russian disinformation sewn into it somehow, isnt that is conclusive there was collusion between the Hillary Clinton campaign and russia, collusion between Trump Campaign and russia . I dont see it that way. Russian involvement in the
creation of the Trump Dossier at all . It appears russian sources claiming it appears russian sources were giving information how close trump and the family were with the russians but that is a source, a witness. It appears they were working with russia. There was the woman russian lawyer who took the meeting with donald trump junior who met before and after the donald trump Junior Meeting with fusion gps which was being paid by the democratic committee. How do you explain that . Under your logic of bob muellers Team Interviews a russian in this investigation they are colluding with the russians. Bob muellers team is not running for president or they shouldnt be. The fact is the Hillary Clinton campaign was paying money to the people behind the Fusion Gps Study that led to the trump
dossier and they were working with this woman who went into the trump meeting. If you are really stretching to prove the Collusion Charge as you were with the trump connection, it is an equally short stretch to the Clinton Campaign. I think any campaign that says they would love to help from the russian government tells you who they are but i would also say any patriot with you are republican or democrat, any patriot who loves america would be concerned and want to find out if a candidate for president was drawing themselves closely, politically, financially and personally. You think he is investigating the Clinton Campaign and connection to the russians . We should investigate any evidence of wrongdoing connected he is not investigating the Hillary Campaign and their connections to the russians, is that a mistake on his part . I think he should investigate crimes. The crime here
what crime is he investigating with the Trump Campaign . Conspiracy to defraud. People people have already put guilty, 5 guilty pleas and bob muellers investigation, the president of the United States refuses to sit down for an interview. That tells you the legitimacy of this investigation. You think there should be. We have seen evidence the Mueller Group is investigating various forms, possibility of collusion with the Trump Campaign. No evidence they are investigating russian collusion with the Clinton Campaign. Have you seen any evidence of that at all . I dont see any evidence they are investigating of the sunset in the east because the sunset in the west. The fact is there is evidence the Hillary Campaign was working with fusion gps to put together the Trump Dossier that had information from the russians in
it. I see why that is useful distraction but bob mueller should focus on the president of the United States, his family, his campaign. You said anybody there is no evidence at least as much evidence the campaign was working with the russians as the Trump Campaign. To gather evidence, not help from hacking, stealing, social media applications. There is evidence they were working with Hillary Campaign. The evidence of the dossier, the evidence of the dossier is they were seeking to find out if donald trump was working with the russians. We all want to know that, whether republican or democrat. We heard members of the Intel Community working with the president of the United States saying that is what they are looking into. You must be encouraged by that. Yes. We went our Intel Community to counter russian meddling but the russian meddling is not stopping and it is not stopping because the president wont counter russian meddling. Until he comes from him they think they have a green light from the sky. Im a poor substitute for tucker carlson. Your hair may not be as good but you are good. Thank you, nice to see you, have a great weekend. The Supreme Court showdown over Brett Kavanaugh is intensifying, democrats say they dont have enough documents to make a decision and republicans are trying to say this about delay delay delay. We cant keep going down this partisan, picking stupid that has happened around here for so long. We will not rest until Brett Kavanaugh is defeated and the American People when. We are not going to hear orrin hatch. He had some great things to say that dana perinos mother would not agree with, the search for every bit of information on Brett Kavanaugh they can find is republicans defend his nomination. Democrats vowed to either defeat him or claim they didnt have enough documents to make a decision but is this just a delaying tactic . Access carry from the judicial crisis network, a former clerk for Justice Clarence thomas. We requested an interview with Chuck Schumer to make that happen. Isnt there more information about Brett Kavanaugh available then there has been for previous judicial nominations . By orders of magnitude. We will have more document on
him nonetheless five nominees combined. It is insane the amount of information they have, documents from his white house counsel, the star investigation, we also have judicial records, 300 opinions 12 years on the bench, way more than we had on any nominee in history. It is shocking the democrats are asking for more but it is very clear when you look at people all the people who already announced im voting against him from day one. They would never have enough. All of this Element Tree School Grade Books they wouldnt have enough information. This is not qualifications but ideology. Anyone who is not a big glib would not be approved by the democrats. It is a hail mary pass, they are trying to delay it past the election and hope they when the
senate and block all nominees, maybe they hope to find something they can relitigate the bush years. Most documents are coming across the desk of those are things written by other highlevel people in the administration. The bottom line is we dont know how john mccain will vote because he has medical conditions but all of the republicans line up and there are democrats in very red states who voted in the last Supreme Court judge nomination for donald trump but this guy is going to pass. I wonder why they are wasting Political Capital on this. Either the hail mary idea that we can delay it long enough, some are trying to run on it. Schumer said Democratic Senators, dont admit right out, that demoralizes their base. Even the democrats we have seen
that are likely like manchin or donnelly at least admit they will meet with him but they have done what schumer has not committed to because otherwise what is amazing is Antonin Scalia was far more conservative than Brett Kavanaugh. Scalia was very conservative and he was approved 980 in 1986. No democrats at all voted against scalia but he is more conservative than Brett Kavanaugh. A total shift. Any other era Brett Cavanagh would have been unanimously confirmed. Donald trump sure to take on what he calls fake news among loyal supporters in ohio. This is playing to his base but could it be hurting republicans play for independent voters . They can make anything bad
because they are the fake, fake, disgusting news. Always alex smith is with us. The point is it is clear ivanka was asked that question to divide the trumps, that is what the interviewer was trying to do, did he succeed or not . The president defeat the purpose of trying to separate the trumps on this issue . In the rest of the clip she also acknowledges she has been on the Receiving End of fake news and vicious attacks. The problem is you have so many liberal journalists who are masquerading as journalists when they are pundits and giving their opinions and grandstanding in the white house when they are supposed to be reporting on what is happening and simultaneously going out of their way to attack trump voters. Just this week a reporter at politico was at one of these rallies and said if you put together everybody in the room you have full set of teeth. It might be funny but how can you fairly cover and ostensibly be held responsible by the American People if youre making fun of them. There was a dust up between Sarah Huckabee sanders in the White House Press briefing and jim acosta over attempts to discredit the media, the troops to what harlan was saying, jim acosta, a lot of people are part of the Mainstream Media like judy miller for example worked for the New York Times who were not pleased by acosta and what he has done, his going in front of the Crowds At Trump rallies trying to stir them up to get them to be as hateful as possible and say see how hateful, you saw what is happening. In some cases it is an attempt by the media to bait the crowd. Absolutely not. I completely disagree. What i saw in a clip is a video jim acosta talking to members of the press. I just feel that trump i dont know why my phone is doing that. They are telling you you are wrong. Trump is the one inciting this with his rhetoric and language. He needs to stop his Pulpit Bullying from the podium and he needs to quiet the noise of some of these, im calling these thugs at his rallies. A lot of blame to go around, trump is trying to stimulate reaction from the press when he goes after them but when you see jim our cost the in front of the crowd of Trump Supporters and try to drum up as much hatred as possible to show on the news and come into the White House Briefing room and claim to be
the victim i dont think americans are buying that. It used to be true, what the news was, they are self electing, and that is something used effectively in 2016. And in pennsylvania he was giving those remarks, Friends And Family at the rally, looking at all kinds of news sources so it is no longer true that jim acosta is the only one who says what the news is, they are looking at different rooms. The crowds, this is your point, the crowds go way out of line and he doesnt have to do that much to stir them up because there were fingers thrown at acosta and things that were unseemly but to have sympathy and pity for jim acosta
is not something i think the American Public is into. The Mainstream Media angela costa, the moral high ground when they started calling donald trump hitler, started attacking trump voters, gone out of their way to slander so Many Americans they forfeited their right that gets to a point we might agree, i dont think it goes to the point they forfeit their rights to be part of the community of media that covers donald trump. When the Trump Administration tried to do that fox news stood up for cnn as cnn once stood up for fox when the Obama Administration tried to exclude us. I was a Television Reporter for 13 years and part of our job is to shine a light on dark places of any administration. I interviewed donald trump when i was a reporter in west palm beach. The man i see now is not the same man i met. I feel like this is the result of donald trump. We have a hard break, thank you, that will do it for cavuto live. I will see you next week with Melissa Francis weekdays at 4 00 pm on fbn. Have a wonderful weekend. Saved an average of 412. Thats auto and Home Insurance for the modern world. Esurance.
