Though. Thats it for special report. Im Shannon Bream in washington. I hope you join us for fox news tonight. We will have the results later today. The story. Breaking tonight, putting his hot streak to the test with key races in several states across the country. Including that crucial Special Election in ohio or polls are closing moments from now. Tonights results can election in ohio or polls are tell us a lot about what to expect in those movember midterms when President Trumps report card comes in. Good evening, everybody, im sandra smith in for martha maccallum. Well bring you those results live as we get them. He reports that a chinese spy infiltrated the offices of one of our nations Top Democrats being swept under the rug. President trump trying to find some evidence of collusion with russia. Senator Dianne Feinsteins former aide and driver allegedly committed espionage delaying political information to chinas top Intelligence Agencies while she was chair of the Senate Intelligence committee here at home. But no one in her party seems to have a problem with this. President trump thinks the hypocrisy needs more attention. Diane feinstein had a chinese spy as her driver. For 20 years and shes leading the russian investigation. Thats what she told me. How about leading no, no, shes leading the russian witch hunt. She says to me, what did you know come on, folks speak the fbi told me that it had concerns that china was trying to recruit a administration of member of my staff despite no access to sensitive information, i took those notes seriously, and make sure the employee left my office immediately. The back story on this. Sandra, good to see you. The Collusion Story The Media does not want to cover obsessively perhaps because it doesnt involve President Trump and russia. Instead, its about china infiltrating the office of a very powerful democrat in Dianne Feinstein. Turns out her longtime staffer russell low who was a driver, as you said, and liaison to the asianamerican community visited lowes relatives overseas and became enacted to someone connected to the peoples republic of china state security. He didnt even know what was happening, that he was being recruited. A source told the San Francisco chronicle. Fbi agents showed up at feinsteins office in d. C. And revealed her staffer was under investigation for possibly spying for china. In fairness, it does not appear the china actually revealed anything of major substance, though we still dont know all the details. The jury is out on that. The contact with china he certainly serious enough that feinstein forced the aid into retirement and tried to keep all of this hushhush until the chronicle blew the lid off of it, and the president has been trying to keep the heat on charging first on twitter friday night and again at a Campaign Rally saturday in ohio that feinstein is a former chair of the senate intel panel. The president tweeted, diane is the person leading our nation on collusion with russia. Only done by democrats. Will she now investigate herself . At the rally, he noted that despite all the focus on russia, there are many countries spying on us. Weve got to stop meddling, weve got to stop everybody attacking us. There are a lot russia is there, china is there. Hey. We are doing well with north korea. But they are probably there. Weve got to stop everybody. Weve got to stop. But think of that and i like Diane Feinstein. I have to tell you. But i dont like the fact that she had a chinese spy driving her. And she didnt know it. The senator fired back with tweets of our own declaring that after being contacted, she jumped on it, removing the staffer, compare that to your actions, attacking the fbi, refusing the advice of your security team. Sad. I acted in the best entrance of the country. Give it a try, she said to the president s. Compared to how carter page, the low level trump advisor put under surveillance by the obama illustration for alleged ties to russia have not been charged with anything despite to go years of investigations that, yes, are still ongoing. Sandra ed henry, thank you. Charlie hurt, fox news contributor. Austan goolsbee, former chief Economic Advisor of somebody else did something. Sandra that doesnt take away from the seriousness of the matter. Thats not going to work. Austan they should investigate that and they should investigate the campaigns actions. I dont get the thing about the jewelry store. Sandra hold on. I cant hear both of you at once. The important thing here is the difference between how the fbi handled the situation with feinstein and the way the fbi handled the situation with trump, when the fbi learned there was a spy working for Dianne Feinstein for 20 years, they went to her and showed her the evidence and advise her to get rid of these five. When they suspected that something was amiss in the donald Trump Campaign, did they go to trump and tell him . They didnt do anything like that. They began spying on the chum campaign, tapping trump tower, tapping people who worked for donald trump, launching this endless investigation where there is not the slightest evidence of a sting that has ever been accused of trump. Sandra dont you find that odd based on what charlie has said and how you laid it out that nobody is talking about this . People are talking about this. This is in major publications. I read about it in the newspaper. Sandra great point it is not getting as much attention as things as our president. Sandra its probably a ten page piece of political, how Silicon Valley became a den of spies. In it, they make the point that there is a full on epidemic of espionage on the west coast right now. Even more worrisome, many of the targets are unprepared to deal with the growing threat. Its not poor attention on the instances of Diane Feinstein and her driver, a spy for 20 years. Why not more attention on what appears to be a major problem . If that is a problem if that is for real, we should put attention on that. For sure. How does that have any relevance to whether we should or should not investigate other potential crimes . Sandra charlie . I dont think theres anything wrong investigate and all potential crimes, but it is amazing that there is no evidence that suggest that donald trump had anything to do with russia or any of the bad behavior russia did in trying to mess with our elections and, you know, break into dnc servers and all that kind of stuff. No evidence donald trump had anything to do anything with it, but wed heard these calls for impeachment for two years and there is barely a peep about Diane Feinstein read just a quiet golf clap over the way she handled it. Sandra i have to tell you. In devin nunes words were issued a statement to fox news on this, the refusal to give the Trump Campaign a defensive briefing, and american citizen, one of the alarming ways Intelligence Leaders drastically diverge from normal procedures in their Trump Campaign investigation. Those normal procedures in the gaze of Dianne Feinstein, austan austan, was to provide a defensive briefing to her, and was able to terminate the employee. Thats highly misleading on both counts. You have no idea what the level of the accused defense is of first with Dianne Feinstein. If we find out this was a low level minor offense, that would explain why they treated it differently. And the allegation about the fbi has been investigated on a bipartisan on a bipartisan basis, and that is simply not true. What Congressman Nunez said is simply not true. Jonathan turley will talking about the hypocrisy of the left in a piece written in the hill today. If this is illegal, the clinton the amount of money spent by her campaign to gather dirt on trump. Charlie . A look at the days latest news and headlines. Student i did mine on volcanoes. Teacher you did . oh, i cant wait to read it. Tech vo so when she had auto glass damage. She chose safelite.

Just stick with badda book. Badda boom. Book now at choicehotels. Com something important. Its not going to be easy. Quicksilver earns you unlimited 1. 5 cash back on every purchase, everywhere. Actually, thats super easy. My bad. You could have a situation where one or two ago his assistant are handling 1520 cases at a time, all of which plead guilty within a day or so. This in their way will inundate the u. S. Attorneys offices and prevent them from doing other kinds of federal work. Every president has priorities, but critics may ignore this, these numbers are comparable to president obama and are actually down 1. 4 from levels in 2013. If people assume that means its consuming 94 of the resources of the office, thats comparatively, completely wrong. They have used prosecution to deter illegal immigration. While zerotolerance are discouraging some adult men, the report suggests that this does not stop families from trying to enter the u. S. Joining me now, anthony scaramucci, former white house communication director and founder of skybridge capital. Anthony, good evening to you. Thanks for having me. Sandra is there evidence that the president is keeping his promise to crack down on illegal immigration . Is he winning on this issue . Listen, there is no question about that and this is what the president is good at. He set a plan, executing the plan. We talked about this friday on your show about cutting the slack in the Labor Markets which is very, very good for the africanamerican and hispanicamerican Unemployment Numbers. There is a reason why those numbers tighten the way they did and wages have started to go up. One thing we should share with people is that wages in the United States over the last 35 years have actually flatlined. But during this administration, they are up 2. 53 . Another sign that this program is working. I am very happy to get rid of the child separation policy, abolished that. But the zerotolerance policy is something that is actually helping workingclass families and middleclass americans. This is super important that he stays on track. Sandra its really fascinating to hear you tie those two go together because we have been seeing the president out those economic numbers. Weve seen growth, wages have been slow to come up, but those Unemployment Numbers have come down. You are referencing specific demographics that are benefiting from this crackdown on illegal immigration at the border. No question. You have to remember the legendary economist Milton Friedman once said that if you are going to have a Welfare State, youve got to have a very tight and secure border. The United States has a Welfare State obviously we are all flying with. We need to protect the people who are poor in our country. But if you have an open border in a Welfare State, free Market Forces dictate that people are going to run across the border. Or to use the president s line, they are going to pour across the border. This policy is actually working. And let me tell you something. Its going to mean more economic progress for these families going into november, going into 2020. The president thinks hes correct on this. As long as its humane, fair, judicious way, i dont think the American People have a problem with it. If anything, i think the president and things are right here, that this will be something hell be able to campaign on. Sandra as far as political implications, we are expecting pulls the close in special theyll make several states tonight. We are less than 100 days out from midterm elections. Do you expect to see the g. O. P. And brace this issue and embrace the president s president s quality . I do not know about the g. O. P. But he gave a natural performance on saturday night. Hes anchored to this position and hell be speaking about the position. The people who have tied themselves to the president , they seem to be winning these elections. Im in cleveland tonight. It looks close. People asked me here, does that mean good news or bad news for the midterms and i would say it doesnt mean either because we are 90 days out, sandra, and 90 days out is like three lifetimes. It could be 3334 mooches if we are measuring them on 11 date units. I do think the president has got the mojo in his favor. If we can get the content right and the style and the Campaign Strategy right, you should do very well in the election. Sandra ive got to ask you about the apartment a fourth trial. Day two of this week. Rick gates, former business partner, flipping on his former boss. They committed bank and tax fraud together. He laid this out before a judge. Talking about this secret life, hes been forced into the situation before the judge, an affair, a flat in london. It got pretty personal in that courtroom today. Listen. A rough case is hard to see. The opportunity to work with both of those people during the campaign. I got along with both of those people. I do believe that Paul Manafort will now have his day in court and give his side. But, boy, it looks very, very ugly. Listen. People are innocent until proven guilty, sandra. This is not a great case. This is not a tidy case. But i do not think either of these men did anything that could and plate the president. These happened well before they joined the Trump Campaign so hopefully this will get resolved shortly. Its a nasty thing to see. Since they are both friends of mine or at least good acquaintances, i felt bad about the situation. Sandra the key witness they are expecting to hear another hour from him tomorrow. The Wall Street Journal reporting that former b5 lawyer under investigation for tax fraud. Back loans are under scrutiny. Mounting legal pressures here. I wanted to get your thoughts there on michael cohen. Again another person i worked closely with. Ive known michael for at least a decade. Its very hard to understand that case. The manafortgates case, the indictments have already been out. Once the indictments are out on michael cohen, itll be much easier to offer strategy, much easier to see where the case could unfold. But let me tell you something. When they want you, they go with a broad direction and they go with a tax fraud direction. Thats how they got al capone. Its a tough thing to see. Im sure hell have a defense, or he will plea out. Again, is the president a target or is the president somehow implicated in these things . Doesnt seem like he is. Sandra that seems to be the big question. We love you on the program. Good to see you. 90 days until midterms, that is an eternity in politics . I think so. Sandra anthony, thank you. Fox news alert, at any moment well start to get those first votes in that Special Election that will test the power of the president s primary power. We have full coverage to you coming up.

He called himself stupid and lonely, and when the detective left the room, kill me, just fing kill me, i want to die. Said it was his evil side and blamed the voices were making him listening to evil music ordering him to kill animals and buy guns. Though he did admit he bought the ar15 Assault Rifle because it looked cool. When asked about what the verses tell me voices told him to do, it told him burn, kill, destroy. I promise, im not. I dont like that the mend. I do not like the demon. The 260 Page Transcript released one week after a judge ruled a redacted version could be made public. The redacted parts includes cruzs detailed confession and his plans to commit the largest shooting in the country. He describes his failure with girls, the constant cutting of his own skin, and how before the shooting he tried to kill himself with advil, but it only made him sick. The defense calls cruz a damaged and broken human being and arguing releasing the landscape would unfairly dissuade potential jurors for they can also use cruzs claim to argue that hes not guilty by reason of insanity. But that would also mean proving he did not know right from wrong and legal experts say
