Theory, distraction to affect Robert Muller and his investigation. From republicans accusations this weekend of improper evidence gathering on top of last weeks revelation of bias text message, they are saying the fix is in and the deeps state to take down the president is real. The question remains, will the gop be celebrating its likely passage of a tax bill this week or will it be in full defense mode after President Trump fires Robert Muller. The president himself was asked that question pointblank and heres what he said. No im not. No. So there you have it, or do you . Lets discuss that with our panel. Executive director of the syndicated radio host and fox news contributor, kevin jackson. Also with us as katie and columnist and host ruben. I just think the whole thing is so ridiculous so im putting my piece of editorial in there, but kevin what you think is a real swirl of rumors about the president moving toward firing Robert Muller. He said he wouldnt, but what do you make of it all . Why would he. When someone is kicking their own but, what you want to get the fight . This has been something thats vindicated trump at every turn. When youve allowed the deep state to uncover all of its dirt on its own, what does he need to fire him for . Every time donald trump lets these guys go at it, and by the way, i predicted this a while back. You look at what happened with every piece of information has led to the untenable conclusion that there was no collusion with russia, and if theyre going to turn it on itself, now these guys are investigating themselves more than their investigating trump so why would you make it change. So you think theres no need to fire him just let it go. Thats not what people from d. C. , whats the rumor mill saying. Thats not where people are at. A lot of my republican and conservative friends would agree that trump firing muller would be the absolute worst thing he could do because the narrative is unraveling right now. Youve got. Youve got the collusion narrative. Its falling apart on its own. For trump to turn around and fire him, that gives ammunition to the left and the media and to people who do not like him to say see he is worried about something and trying to push them out of the way so he doesnt have to deal with them. I think he should just let this go, let all of the facts come out because right now its not good for him, but i would say that president does need to be careful in his tweets and what he says about this, dont step in anything that you could avoid by being hot on the tweet trigger. So the narrative about collusion, i completely agree. I was that it was a joke and its completely unraveling. They have shifted onto this obstruction of justice or some other procedural missteps that the president and his team might have made. You think you might be going through that route and therefore there is still something to worry about . We have to wait and see. Theres a lot of stuff we dont know right now and a lot of stuff we probably shouldnt know. I dont think the media knows to neil every tidbit of everything going on because it generally leads to confusion and things that are untrue, facts that may be alternative. Right now i dont think theyve got anything that is concrete. Its exactly the opposite. The procedural problems are on the left because the looking at evidence that was gathered. So ruben, dont you think there is the risk with this for the left . Theyve invested so heavily, they think this is the way they are going to bring down the president and actually whats coming out is not helpfuhelpful to them. Youre exactly right. Katie is right though, you dont want to make bob muller into a martyr or victim. Change the narrative and make him more sympathetic. Hes in a horrible job of managing his investigation. He hasnt kept his people and lined. These embarrassing emails and Text Messages make it clear that some people who are investigating the president were trying to bring him down and saw themselves as protecting america themselves from american democracy from the president. From your point i think its important to keep in mind the long gain here and that the president is much better served by leaving muller where he is and waiting this out because anything weve seen so far is basically obstruction and soandso by the fbi but its not gotten close to trump. The media put these out about firing muller. I gotta tell you, ive watched things pretty carefully, ive never seen the president about that or talk about that. That is so true. And what it is, they want him to do it because think about it,. He stacked the deck against donald trump with all these hillary lovers, anti trump people, and then, i havent heard russia, in ages, its all okay we got a look at peter and the various people who have donated money to the clinton campaign. Its an investigation that is not investigating itself. Just one last word from you because peggy noonan, she is constantly written about this in a way that says whatever happens, the investigation is going on and it has to be done in a way that at the end brings the country together because everyone can agree its fairly conducted. Its too late for that. Is overly optimistic but i love my friend peggy but i think we are so divided in were so divided over trump. Is there anyway this investigation wins the confidence of the whole nation . The real danger to your point, we talk about populism a lot, but those democrats should be looking at ways to bring along populist message, those democrats back from the rustbelt. Go to michigan or ohio, they put all their eggs in the russia basket. If that doesnt bear some sort of success, they are in trouble. We got a quick word on the economics of the tax bill. My take on it is that its not about who wins the argument now as to whether its popular or not popular, its about the actual effect on those kind of people who are really looking to president john to get the economy moving and incomes up. How do you judge this . Will it really do the job for working people . I think it will. It seems like across the board the agreement in the short term is that will absolutely hurt. Long term people are mixed on what it will do but you see the polls i have come out in the confidence of the president S Performance with the economy and its much higher than his Approval Rating because it doesnt have anything to do with what they think of his personality. Has to do with what they think about having more money in their pockets, better life for their family, better jobs and more opportunities coming out of the year that the president has been in charge and i think the tax bill is only going to help that. It might not have every nittygritty thing that Everyone Wants but its better than not and it has the capacity to pass. When they were in power, what happened . Who made the rich richer and the poor for . It widened under the democrat. Two words, we won. They passed obamacare, most of the nation hated it. Youve seen the outcome. At least with trump you have one year under your belt and Consumer Confidence through the roof. Unemployment at an alltime low. What can you look at and go this guy doesnt make it happen. So when he proposes something, at the very least you can say ive got a year of success. Contrast that with obamas first year where he lost 4 million jobs, unemployment through the roof and on and on. Why would you follow that logic . Trump has a proven track record. Believe me, those rustbelt democrats and all the people that supported him, they understand. Add to this, the russia snipe hunt, all these other things, the economy is going to crater when trump becomes president and all the other doomsday. And you watch the dow go up, up, up. We are like the one to punch year. Last word on the tax bill, i think they oversold it. Democrats were so eager to pass something, anything that they pass something even their own base wasnt thrilled i think republicans are under tremendous pressure to deliver something, but i dont take it will deliver the help the middle class need. I think ill wrap that up and sang i think they kind of wrongly resulted. I think actually it will have a really big positive effect on the competitiveness of our companies and economy and the more we invest, the more jobs, not necessarily high wages but thank you very much for all of that. Just before we go to break, i didnt want to ignore what happened this week in alabama with a special election. Here is a steve says all about that. Critics of the president on the left and the right seized on roy moores defeat as a defeat for populism but populism isnt way more. Its not steve bannon, its not even donald trump. Populism is a Peoples Movement based on a set of ideas aimed at the advance of working people and rejecting the elitist ideology of the republicans and democrats that made the rich richer and half the country poor. Populism is pro worker while elitism is pro owner. It populism is profamily and pro democracy. The big issues driving the populist movement were barely debated in the alabama special election. Wage stagnation. Importing cheap labor. The concentration of corporate power. Our economic surrender. Trade deals that hurt american workers. Corruption, political system. The never trumpeters and the perky democrats, are they really going to claim all that was on the ballot and rejected last tuesday . Of course not. Everyone knows roy moore had nothing to do with populism and neither does the alabama result. What matters now for 2018 and 2020 and years after that is building that positive pro worker policy agenda and getting it implemented at every level of government. That is the next revolution. Coming up, last weeks swamp watch took on the ethanol industry and showed how the gas in your car is fueling the d. C. Swamp. We got a ton of response. Some praising our report and others not so much. Join me later for a heated debate. After the break a chicago politician goes to the United Nations for help controlling the citys outofcontrol violence. Details next. Hes a nascar champion whos shes a worldclass swimmer whos stared down the best in her sport. But for both of them, the most challenging opponent was. Pe blood clots in my lung. It was really scary. A dvt in my leg. I had to learn all i could to help protect myself. My doctor and i choose xarelto® xarelto®. To help keep me protected. Xarelto® is a latestgeneration blood thinner. Thats proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots from happening again. In clinical studies, almost 98 of patients on xarelto® did not experience another dvt or pe. Heres how xarelto works. Xarelto® works differently. Warfarin interferes with at least six bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective. Targeting just one critical factor, interacting with less of your bodys natural bloodclotting function. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase risk of blood clots. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. It may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If youve had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures and before starting xarelto® about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Youve got to learn all you can. To help protect yourself from dvt and pe blood clots. Talk to your doctor about xarelto®. Theres more to know. This s electricity. This is a power plant. This is tim barckholtz. Thats me this is something he is researching at exxonmobil using fuel cells to capture Carbon Emissions at power plants. This is the potential. Reducing co2 emissions by up to 90 . While also producing more power. This could be big. Energy lives here. Chicago violence is back in the news with over 3400 shooting victims this year. President trump on friday asked what a lot of us are asking, what the hell is going on in chicago. Its getting so bad that one of the county commissioners is asking United Nations to come to chicago and help calm the violence. Im hoping to appeal to the un to actually come to chicago to meet with victims of violence and maybe even possibly help out in terms of peacekeeping efforts. I think it is so critical for us to make sure these neighborhoods are safe. That will really do the job. He seems unconcerned. Hes taking a shot at present trump by calling his city a trump freezone. Listen. You recently declared Chicago Schools a trump free zone. The whole city . [applause] donald trump is looking through the Rearview Mirror and im not going that way. Honestly, what a joke. I mean really. Unbelievable. There he is prancing around new york talking to elitist audience while all this is going on. Its just ridiculous. They say nothing is foolproof for us sufficiently proven fool. He has a city more dangerous than war zones and he wants to bring in a group whose charter is to bring world peace and there are more wars going on right now in the world than ever before. The un hasnt been successful in putting any wars out. Go count them. Youve got darth for in syria, i could go on and name them to the show ended. He wants to bring these guys in. Whats funny is the same guy that said Gang Violence when a kid got killed, 9yearold blacks kid got killed, he said dont bother the kids, take it to the alley. He didnt even want to solve the problem. He told gang bangers take your crime to the alley because thats what he thanks about the blacks. As long as that crime is isolated in neighborhoods of color, he doesnt have to worry about it. When it comes to the miracle mile then hell be concerned. This is really at the heart of it. Leslie marshall, i saw her talk about this this week on another show on fox and she made the perfectly valid point that under lying the violence are really social problems. Youve got the family breakdown and poor policing and housing but hang on a second, they didnt just come out of thin air, thats the result of that policy and bad government. So why are they dealing with those underlying issues in any of these. Because those are a lot more difficult, they take a lot more time to fix them harder to quantify whereas you can just say more gun laws, throw some more money at it, see we are helping, but youre not actually doing anything, youre not tackling education, encouraging a good family unit , encouraging to have the father present in the home. Theyre not doing it that further just throwing money at it and im sorry, that statement was asinine to come out and say this is a trump free zone . How can you say that you care about your city when youre just pandering to liberals. Its embarrassing and he should be ashamed of himself. Can you point to any examples with some of those underlying problems . You think that the serious point of the discussion. Chicago is the worst its been by some of these underlying problems, the family breakdown in education, can you think of any examples whether being addressed. Now its been this horrible endless debate and they say its all about poverty and Education Opportunities and jobs versus values. If the weather talk about parents in general, white parents, black parents, and little green parents on mars, parents have a responsibility to raise the children correctly. I was struck by what Denzel Washington said it was a very commonsense message thing it breaks down in the home than the streets will raise your kids and the jails will become the home and rather than have that conversation would rather talk about the un and poverty and jobs and the like because the first conversation is way too messy. One thing, just to be fair that i liked about president obama on all this is he sort of tiptoed in it with an issue of my brothers keeper. What happened with that. Like everything else. Its all talk. If you really solve the problems, you get rid of the money. Theres lot of money that goes into the socalled problems and the solving of them, but look, how long have we been talking about this. Hes been the mayor for that city for a long time in the violence in general, with all the gun laws, it doesnt matter what laws you pass and the criminals are going to be criminals if they have opportunity. The economic approach would look at true empowerment zones and put them near black neighborhoods. You mean business startup. Economic empowerment. Look, blacks are forced, were not bad people, we dont have a propensity for violence any more than anybody else but you put us in those circumstances and thats what will happen. If you can give me an opportunity to get out of those circumstances, i will do it. All the policies and every one of these major cities, chicago is just one example. Everyone from chicago, cleveland, baltimore, st. Louis is all the same. Im sorry, were out of time on this. Ill give you extra time on china. Coming up, they talk about her new book and the amazing journey she is supporting that helping the families of hero veterans. Dont go away i am totally blind. And non24 can make me show up too early.
