Its already made its mark on the big islands. Anything can happen. Anything could happen anything could happen anything could happen anything could happen. Rachel great description of fox friends. Griff you might have an all washington couch. Ed you are half wisconsin and half washington. Rachel i dont live in d. C. I all the time in washington i mean in wisconsin. Griff fox news alert. Ed we will give you a pass. Rachel camposduffy is back and so is griff jenkins. Great to have everybody here. A brand new morning and a lot of news. Rachel we absolutely do. We begin with a fox news alert. Hurricane lane weakening to a Tropical Storm in hawaii overnight. Ed torrential rains and gusty winds are still pounding the islands right now. Griff ray is live in honolulu this morning. How are you . Im doing well. Good morning. That threat of flooding that you are talking about is coming from how slowly this storm is moving. In fact, we just got an update an how ago from the Central Pacific hurricane center. They said the storm is moving only 3 miles per hour. Officials are ceciousd that could mean more scenes like this one on the big island. The National Weather service says in the hil heel low area gt 42 inches of rain brush firet another. Officials on maui had to fight three separate fires. The biggest forced more than 100 homes to evacuate and burned more than 100 acres. Now back here on oahu, they are trying to get things back up and running. In honolulu specifically where im standing right now they want to getth City Services back up and running on monday and close shelters by midday today. Ed all right, ray bogan we appreciate your report. We will be monitoring that all morning. Another big story developing and that is what is happening on wall street and the economy. Rachel its record d dow. Dow up 173 points. This is incredible. This is what the president ran on and its not just the stock market. Were talking about jobs. Ed absolutely. Rachel for hire signs going to up all over. We were told jobs were gone forever. Griff look at the numbers. The bull has been running for 3,000 plus day us. And the president last night, when he was at this dinner in ohio, you know, its been a rough week for the president. Rachel sure has. Griff the president has been reporting if you like this bull run and keep it going then you better not vote for the democrats because they might stop that bull in its tracks. Here is a little bit what the president said last night at a dinner in columbus, ohio. We have the strongest economy in the history of our nation and i hear about a blue wave. I say why is there a blue wave . Today there are more people working than at any time in the history of our country. I dont think there is going to be a blue wave. I hope there is a red wave. A vote for any democrat at this point in november is a vote for schumer, nancy pelosi, and, who . The legendary maxine waters, the de facto head of the Democrat Party. She is the de facto head now. Congratulations. Maxine didnt know it. Im just telling her. Democrat immigration policies are destroying innocent lives and spilling very isnt blood. Any party that puts criminal aliens before american citizens should be voted out of office. The platform of the Democrat Party is to raise your taxes, increase your regulations, shut down american energy, release violent criminals and destroy american jobs. It really is. Ed you think about the turn about, nancy pelosi talked about crumbs when the tax cut was passed. Democrats as you mentioned going back to the campaign. The president promised jobs they said those jobs would never come back in manufacturing. Theyre coming back. Democrats laughed at the idea we would have 4 growth. We would have nothing close to that we are 4. 1 and going up. You pick up the New York Times today and griff mentioned a rough week for the president politically. Basking in a sweet spot, markets disregard turmoil and they say that the fed chief is urging caution because in the words of the New York Times the economy is roaring right now. Griff thats right. One of the things that was overlooked a little bit this week and even the New York Times has it in there covered today and that is the epa rule change. You know, this market, and this sustainability is driven on the business things he has done, mainly de regulation. And the e. P. A. Rule change which was really lost in the cycle was the president obamas signature Climate Change Clean Power Plan was basically taken out, shot, put the nails in it, and that of course, whether you are in wisconsin, West Virginia or elsewhere wore coal mining, for industry, yet another de regulation significant development. Ed might have a real impact. Griff thats why the markets are impervious. Rachel thats why the president needs to talk about the economy. The media isnt going to do it for him. They want to talk about investigations and cohen and Stormy Daniels and everything else. I believe its a deliberate attempt to take away this good news. I guarantee you if barack obama had these numbers and, by the way, as i mentioned before, its not just the rich wall street people doing well. Minorities are doing well. The working class is doing well. Small towns across america are seeing a revival, thats the story the media doesnt want to tell. Ed record low unemployment for africanamericans, asians as you noted you. Whats interesting the president , you see him pivoting in that fund raising speech in ohio last night to not just talk about the economy as griff mentioned but also talk about illegal immigration and other policies where he says these are the stakes in the mid terms. And, in fact, look at this one. An example of what the president is talking about. If the democrats take over congress. There is actually a senate candidate, you see him there, orourke pushing the idea that we should de criminalize Border Crossings. There is several candidates in texas, democrats, who are talking about doing this. Basically saying its no longer against the law. Also on that full screen see lupe valdez running for governor is not going to win. Going against a popular governor in governor abbott. A former customs agent and having gone and reported for this show. Numerous times down on the border, there are the average number of illegal immigrant crossings is in the hundreds, like 500 plus at least in the texas area. And if you go, you know, democrats are running on this plan to just open it up, you are talking about migration crisis of Epic Proportions this country has never seen. Rachel last week orourke running against ted cruz very widely publicized senate race. Ed it looks close. Racism rach it looks close. Last week he was getting so much attention from hollywood because he tweeted a very measured response to the nfl kneeling and the anthem and all that. And then, i think he really got a lot of confidence and kind of showed who he really is now he is saying we want to de criminalize Border Crossing which basically means open borders. And i think its interesting that the president is bringing this up because last night on martha maccallum, she had an angel mom. It was a very, very touching interview where the angel mom, her son had been called by an Illegal Immigrants and she looked at the camera and she said i wish the politicians cared as much about my kid as they care about all the other children we often hear about in the media who controls the border and separated from their parents. And so i think thats a very good message for the president to say im looking out for you, for your pocketbook. For your kids, for your security. Thats what i think the president is saying. Ed talked about all the other stories, Michael Cohen in the plea deal this week. None of those stories are going away. Some of the characterization on the democratic side between the dossier and all the stories the president keeps saying why are you not looking at the other side. John brennan is at the center of that the obama cia director. Who had his security clearance stripped about a week or so ago and under fire himself. So you would think, griff, that he might want to leave the stage for a little bit. He might want to say hang on because even James Clapper and other former intelligence officials saying you know, not excited about President Trump, they say, buy john brennan is going a little bit far in says that he committed treason. They are trying to reign him in and he is not going to be reigned in. Griff unprecedented, perhaps that a president is pulling a former cia directors clearances also unprecedented the level to which brennan is going and criticize this president and he continualed it last flight. Ed cia director who is supposed to be nonpartisan. Griff continued it last night on bill maher, take aism to. This im worried, because now we are in a crisis. There needs to be some reckoning in the Republican Party that we cant athrough to go on. Is dividing americans. Im really concerned as he continues to play to his base he is further dividing us. And im really concerned about whether this could spill over into the streets. You need to act before there is a real disaster. Ed spilling over in the streets. Rachel spilling over in the streets. Doubling down saying what the president is dividing. One of the big issues the president has had has been unifying around the anthem. If we cant unify around that who is dividing us then . Its them. Ed last week he said he might sue the president over the security clearance issue. President trump said bring it on we want to get discovery anding you find out what you have been doing. Hasnt filed a suit yet. Griff we want to hear your emails. Email us at friends foxnews. Com. What do you think about john brennan . Has he gone too far . Does he have a point . Does he find some legitimacy. Maybe john brennan is running for office. Any theory why he is doing this . Email us at friends foxnews. Com. Ed im not sure he would go that far. Rachel keep in mind he used to vote for the communist party. Tributes are pouring in after john mccain stops medical treatments for brain cancer. Mitch mic council tweeting in part we are so fornghts to call him our friend and colleague. John, cindy and the entire family are in our prayers at this incredibly difficult hour. The military honored mccain at the opening of a new military headquarters in texas hours later. Officials say he has played a driving role in creating the armys future command center. A top figure in President Trumps organization is granted immunity in the Michael Cohen investigation. The president s chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg testified in front of a grand jury weeks ago. Prosecutors say he gave them information about the president s former personal attorney and hush payments. Cohen made to two women during the 2016 president ial campaign. Legendary tv host robin leach has died. The icon is best known as the voice behind the 80s show lifestyles of the rich and famous.

Its a new day at wells fargo. But its a lot like our first day. Griff President Trump taking a over the plan to de nuclearization. He said quote i have asked secretary of state mike pompeo not to go to north korea at this time because i feel we are not making sufficient progress with respect to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. Here to react, the one and only defense director at the center for the national interest, harry. Good morning, happy saturday to you. Good morning. Griff why are we seeing this about face . Quite frankly i think President Trump is angry. If you look how he conducts Foreign Policy he does it very differently than anybody else who has been in the oval office. He takes very personal stands and he tries to work personally with leaders to try and achieve that America First agenda. He has personally reached out to kim jong un to say, look, if you are willing to denuclearization. If you are willing to give up your Nuclear Weapon the world could be yours. Think about what the president did, he brought kim jong un to singapore. One of those economically vibrant parts of the world to show him what the future of north korea can be. Still this day its been the United States thats taken on most of the initiatives and north korea to be quite honest with you has done very little. Griff read between the lines for us, harry, you are dialed into this on just thursday secretary pompeo is taking new endestroy north korea over there then we get this news, the president says nope, not going to happen now. What are we missing . What happened that changed this . Is it that chairman kim simply isnt as sincere as he once was on the denuclearization . Heres the thing. We cant send mike pompeo for a fourth time to north korea if there is going to be no progress. And im making an educated guess here. I have a feeling the north koreans indicated to the president that kim jong un waste not going to meet with mike pompeo. Thats what happened with the third visit. There is really no reason to send the secretary of state again to north korea if there is going to be no progress. Special in the north koreans are going to get angry like they did the last time and start issuing press statements that the talks are not working, we are not sincere when we are the ones that said mike pompeo three times. Had a summit with kim jong un. Cancelled military exercises. This president has bent over backwards to try to make this work. So, you know, there is frustration there. Griff harry, what role does china play in this . How much of a factor are they . China has a huge role in all of this. The chinese right now are obviously very upset over our trade stance which President Trump is doing the right thing there but what committexi jinping understands h korea could be his trump card. Using north korea as leverage could be a way to get the United States to back off on its trade demands. I would say to xi jinping look you are playing with fire there thats going to harden the president s stance and push him much more aggressively to push those tariffs on china and prove that china is a bad actor. Griff harry only you give us the inside scoop on certainly a Big Development there. We will see, the agency saying they have grave concerns. This is certainly not moving, perhaps, in the right direction at the moment. We will see if the president s strategy works out. Thanks for having me. Griff john mccain stops treatment tore brain cancer. What happens after this . We will ask a chief of neurosurgery next. Products. So you can get back to loving them.
