This weekend. I dont know if this is much to claim asylum as it is getting to the United States sometimes i get a good feeling yeah i get a feeling that i never, never, never had before pete we have a great reporter on the couch with us that we do not want to replace. His name is Griff Jenkins. Excited to have you. Griff good morning. Pete the jet strappe saints quk Griff Jenkins great hair. Not as good as Griff Jenkins. Hairdo, new, improved. Griff longer, typically working so hard to get that you news i havent had time to get a hair cut. She said we are doing something with all that hair today. Email us at foxnews. Com if you like the new hair. Abby you look fabulous. Griff i brought a report from the House Oversight intelligence. Pete they didnt find any collusion did, they, griff. A lot of pages there up all night reading it. Abby thank you for joining us on this saturday morning and, of course, there is a lot of news to get to. Peace on the peninsula after north and south korea announced an end to the decades long war. Many cannot help but actually give President Trump the credits pete piatt you say they cant help but give him credit. Usually its they cant help but not give him credit. So blindly obvious that the conditions that created this moment were induced by the approach of this president that people just have to say well, i have to admit it the opportunity here was created by american leadership. This is President Trump yesterday on this korean deal thats burgeoning. Listen. I want to congratulate the republic of korea on its historic summit with north korea. Were encouraged by president moon and kim jong uns expressed goal of complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. I will be meeting with kim jong un in the coming weeks. We look forward to that. And hopefully it will be productive. We seek a future of peace, prosperity and harmony for the whole Korean Peninsula. Not only a Brighter Future for the people of korea but the people of the world. We are in but pursuit of that goal. We will not repeat the mistakes of last administrations. Maximum pressure will continue until denuclearization occurs. Griff let me just give a context here. That is the way this is being interpreted around the world. The threat of Nuclear North Korea threatens the entire planet and the australian Prime Minister turnbull says it was not only President Trumps efforts but the tough stance he took demanding total denuclearization is what brought us there. Not only with countries like north korea and south korea, but with china and russia and getting everyone essentially short of iran or getting on board. This is why you are getting comments from the foreign minister to south korea saying it was President Trump and his techniques that did it here is the south Korean Foreign minister. I think clearly, you know, credit goes to President Trump. He has been determined to come to grips with this from day one. My president also since day one. And i think the president s moon and trump have worked very closely together. Sometimes in complementary. Sometimes in different messaging. But the level of consultations and the confidence between the two leaders has been instrument strum mental in bringing us to this point. Pete cnn wasnt ready for that interview. Abby how do you push back on that coming from the Prime Minister of south korea. You are saying no one has talked this tough there was criticism we were going to go to a war with north korea. I think President Trump and his team knew what they were doing the whole time. The classic art of the deal. Sort of what we are seeing play out with trade war or potential trade war with china. You throw everything out there and intimidate them and make them feel like we could go to war. And they end up walking back and you get something more in the end. Pete absolutely. They took on the toughest problem that president obama told them they have had. Remember when Obama Left Office he told trump north korea will be your most urgent problem. Instead of doing it conventional. Fire and fury. Exercises. Pressure on china. They gave the man 2009 peace prize for extraordinary efforts to strengthen International Diplomacy and cooperation between people. Is that not exactly what President Trump has just done . Griff lets point out though. Griff absurd. They would be throwing obama a freakin parade in d. C. If he had accomplished this moment. We should bask in the fact it was a new approach from this president that created it. Griff democrats are the only group of individuals who are not even acknowledging the fact that they have brought negotiations on the 38th parallel for which they have been at war for six and a half decades. We now have democrats preoccupying themselves in washington with a character assassination which many are pointing out led by senator jon tester of montana who is in perhaps one of the toughest races of this election attacking Ronny Jackson. The white house doctor who was nominated. Who has now withdrawn his name for the v. A. Secretary. You have to feel for this guy and listen to President Trump and he is feeling for him because this is someone who has served our country. He has been dragged through the mud so publicly. And now we are finding that many of these accusations, there is no there there. And you feel for him. Because, what happens now . Where does he go . Obviously he goes back and continues to be the doctor. This is not fair to do to someone. Pete do you know why President Trump and others call cnn fake news . They go walltowall on anonymously sourced accusations as fact. Put a banner up there and make someone look bad. What happened here with Ronny Jackson. They took Anonymous Sources from jon tester and said this is exactly what Ronny Jackson did. First, we are going to play what donald trump said about Ronny Jackson yesterday and then play some sound from cnn. Listen first of all to trump on Ronny Jackson. Ronny jackson, admiral doctor, is one of the finest men that i have met over the last long period of time. These were false accusations about a great man, about a man thats given his life to this country and to the military. A brave man. He would have been a great leader. We are learning this morning that the secret service now says it has no record of an incidents that the media has been reporting all week. They finally now look ask the secret service, did this happen . The secret service is a very we are going to have dan bongino on. We will ask him about it later on in the program. Abby accused of being at secret Service Party and driving home drunk and getting in an accident. Now they say that never happened. They looked into this. This is what the media has been looking at in the past week. Take a look at some these moments in the media. They claim jackson was intoxicated and banging on the door of a female employee. You can be woken up at the. You can be woken up for a National Natural disaster. This is serious for any one of the president s traveling staff not to mention his doctor. Drinking on the job to overprescribing medications that got him the nic flame candy manual among his subordinates. This is going to be Ronny Jacksons reputation that is going to continue to get sullied. Abby that is a reminder, i think, griff, for reporters. Have you got to be careful. You have got to know the facts before you go out there. These are peoples lives on the lines. If it wasnt about politics, which obviously it was, why not go to the white house behind closed doors and say we have got concerns about this guy. Can you take a look into him and make sure is he properly vetted before we get to vote on him . No, they didnt do that they went so publicly so the media. Thats why i say thats not fair to do to someone. Griff when you talk about facts. This is an individual been there for two previous president s. Not like a newcomer. They looked at the facts. He was involved in three automobile incidents. None of which he was found at fault and none of which involved alcohol. When you sling the drunk driving accusations, its a serious misjudgment. Poor judgment in your life. It questions your, you know, credibility. But this is a guy who has established that credibility over the course of previous administrations and now has had this accusation slung at him for which pete where is the credibility for cnn . What if i was to say right now i just got an email from a constituent of jon tester, do you know what i find out . He drinks all the time when he is home on constituent breaks. I got it from a constituent. He told me that now its live on Fox News Channel. Anybody can say anything. Abby an anonymous source pete for cnn and msnbc to do what they is not even journalism. Its utterly irresponsible and Smear Campaign on a persons character. And look for facts later. Secret service that never happened. Tell that to the man who just got smeared for three days. Abby ultimate question is this person qualified to do the job. Can you dig so deeply into so many different things. Dig in for the job is he put forth for and so if he is qualified for that let him have a hearing and ask the right questions. Griff the damage is already done. Too late for that. Griff thats the thing the damage is already done. Amazing. Abby we have a lot of news clearly this morning. I do want to bring you other headlines we are following starting on a serious note with a fox news alert. This is a heart breaking one.

Well, it was a very busy news week from james comey continuing media blitz from the president of the french president to President Trump saying kim jong un has acted honorably. What did the americans think of all of this . Griff lee carter is partner of maslansky and partners. She put the week to the dials. Abby it was a busy week. Lets start with north korea. That was probably the biggest news of the week. President trump calling kim jong un honorable. Watch this. We have been told directly that they would like to have the meeting as soon as possible, and we think thats a great thing for the world. Kim jong un was he really has been very open, and i think very honorable from everything were seeing. You can see there, there was a split between how people reacted. Generally pretty favorable. Republicans an a. Independents a b and democrats a c. It wasnt that he called kim jong un honorable. It was more about the fact that things are moving forward and people are seeing progress being made in relationships with kim jong un. Certainly with north and south korea. We saw a lot happen this week. Pretty favorable. Most surprises there that democrats are really willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Thats not something we have seen in a while. Griff my favorite story of the week. I reported on it all week long. That is the bromance between President Trump and french president emmanuel macron. Take a look at this montage. Mr. President , they are all saying what a great relationship we have. Thank you. [laughter] i like him a lot. Its really great to be with you and you are a special friend. Thank you. Thank you. You did a good job. Did a great job. Thank you. Thank you very much. We do have a very special relationship. In fact, i will get that little piece of dandruff off. Little piece. We have to make him perfect. He is perfect. Abby that was a great montage. Republicans gave this a plus. Independents yellow line b plus and democrats even gave it a c. Sort of like cringe a little on the dandruff comment. Other than that, first of all, people love to see our leaders having fun. Second of all, it really seemed like the guys are getting along, and that was something that i think people were surprised about, especially after the climate accord. Especially after that aggressive hand shake that happened the last time they met. People were pleased to see us getting along with our allies and gave trump a lot of credit for it. Abby there are some awkward moments when World Leaders get together. It was refreshing to see friends what is seemed like. Absolutely. Abby james comey has been everywhere. Bret baier had a great interview with james comey the other night. At one point they talk about leaking and here is how that went. Did you leak other things to mr. Richman. The reason im smiling, bret. I dont consider what i do with mr. Richman a leak. I didnt consider it part of an fbi file. All of the things i talked about. Bret you wrote it as fbi director. It was a work product. No, it was not. Bret you said in the memos you said i dont do sneaky things, i dont leak, i dont do weasel moves. But we can argue what a leak is but thats a leak, isnt it . Its not. Abby not a leaker. How could that play. You could barely see the democrat line because of that back drop. Democrats gave this about a b minus not that great. Republicans gave it a d overall. If he would have stopped talking after the George Stephanopoulos interview he would have been better off. Independents pulled back their support for mr. Comey. They used to think he was pretty honest and now not sure what to believe. Its not playing out well for him. Its not helping his cause. If he is trying to be credible and authentic. People are giving him doubts. Surprising. Big shift in a week. Griff sneak one last one in here. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi talking about impeevment. I donabout imeachment. Imeachment iimpeachment is a vey serious matter it has to be a bipartisan initiative. I dont think we have the information to go to that place and i discourage any discussion of impeachment. On a political side, i think its a gift to the republicans to talk about impeachment. What we want to talk about is what theyre doing to undermine working families in our country and what we are doing to increase their payroll and lower their cost. Not really all that resonate. Pretty bland for most folks. People said you should either move on from impeachment or into your message. She couldnt help but make that dig to republicans. Overall can you see there independents and republicans both gave her c minus because she pulled back on impeachment message. Seems stuck on going after republicans. Going after the president. And its just not resonatin resonating. Abby thank you. See you later on in the show. Thats great. Abby wild scenes of violence on u. K. Berkeley.
