our specialists today are david goodfriend and tammy bruce. a federal judge is ordering the state department resume its search for benghazi related emails tied to hillary clinton. the 2012 terror attack on the u.s. consulate in van ghazi, libya, resulted in the death of four americans. the d.c. district court judge, searching for relevant document documents. david, going to get you in here. the judge wouldn't be doing this for no reason. they have to think they are missing something. >> david: we are a nation of laws. that's an obama appointee, that judge. doing his job and he should be commended for it. you'll have to forgive me for the irony that while we have a president under investigation by a special prosecutor was still talking about benghazi, it is like the white whale in moby dick. okay. produced documents. i don't care. that's what's supposed to happen. while we are added, let's let mr. mueller and the special prosecutor team do their job too. it's got to be the same treatment on both sides. if you love the investigation of hillary c

i agree with tammy bruce. she says she believes mcconnell really doesn't want to kill the aca. louie gohmert, a congressman from texas says, on c-span, he congressman from texas says, on c-span, he said the dirty little secret in congress is that they don't want to get rid of the aca. i believe john mccain was chosen because of his illness and because he will not run for reelection, chosen as the sacrificial lamb to kill the aca. guest: i love tammy bruce, and i agree with much of what you said about congress being duplicitous about the aca. i think there were a series of house leaders who never had any intention -- they knew they were not going to repeal the aca but they thought they would have good politics to go in promise. there were at least six republican senators who ought to be horsewhipped for what they did. that is why people hate politics. you want to take people for their word. at some point in this process, my interpretation, at some point in this process mitch mcconnell became dead serious to the idea that if the republican party does not repeal and replace obamac

tammy bruce is a new york city radio host and she joins us tonight. so, tammy, when you saw the atrocity, maybe charlottesville inspired this? >> every normal person looks at something like that and we are crushed and we know it's a touristy area, we know multiple countries will be involved, we know people were enjoying their day in a beautiful city, and just walking through a promenade , and the next thing, it was like our american who was killed on his anniversary, first year anniversary gets up to use the bathroom, walks away from his bride and he gets murdered. so these are the things that remind us about how things can change in a moment. but horribly for american news, americans rely on news networks to find out what's going on around the world especially in tragedies, durable splits or as an example as you played, immediately saying that as a political opportunity. but let me tell you, it's not about downplaying the event. i would argue with you in that regard. they see in that example for that network everything through the prism of heating tr

tammy bruce, and deroy purchase. tammy, you would think the thanks issue would be bipartisan. the worry is the house will come up with something and it will die in the senate. is that a fair concern? >> possibly yes. what they are trying to do was pass anything to get it into the he conciliation committee. so it's no matter what the house or senate would pass down, tax reform won't be what that is on either the house or senate side. then you get into reconciliation. i think this is where the american people come in as well. the democrats know they are a weak regional club now. they want to stop any success the president or the republicans can have. i don't expect any effort to help this along. the standards they sent over to mcconnell, they said we'll help you if you promise you won't do any legislation by yourself. really stillly stuff mcconnell has rejected already. small business employees, more people in this country creates the most of new jobs. they are opened by people of color and women. it affects the entire spectrum. >> that's what the republicans did for so many yea

joining me now, tammy bruce and radio talk show host on new york's wor, mark simone. it's tough to watch all this. when you see those little kids, their parents are carrying them. what a traumatic event it is for them and in some ways the trauma for their parents is just beginning. so many of these people don't have insurance. the average american doesn't have $500 saved up to deal with a situation like this. this is a situation nobody would have thought you would have to deal with. tammy: texas and houston within that framework know floods and what's at risk. but what we have seen is remarkable heroism. people in communities coming together to make the difference. the cajun navy with their boats. look at social media. people saying i'm at this address, come save me. financially, this is when federal government comes in, moving in to make sure our fellow sister and brother cities are taken care of. while no one would have wished this for americans, we come together with all the difficulties and accusations and divisions being made. this is who we are. we come together

blaze tv and radio host lawns jones and tammy bruce. why is the dnc having such trouble raising a couple bucks? is it perez is not up for the job? lawrence: it's not perez, it's a party with no strategy and can't connect with the voters or the issues. they have no message. they are not connecting with the issues facing americans which is their pocketbooks, education and immigration reform. gregg: because they engage in identity politics which is the title of your col number washington times. "the deadly impact of identity politics." can i put up a quote i plucked from the column? suddenly mr. trump was responsible for the carnage, even worse the nazis were his base, we are told, ergo all mr. trump's supporters are nazis, too. the intent was from the start to conflate the president and all concerned with the obscenity in charlottesville. tammy: trump's approval numbers were the low 40s. but as that payment new narrative that all trump supporters were all nazis, 41, 42, today it's 43%. it's one thing to have a conversation about race but

we welcome tammy bruce and kevin wall back on that. pardon is coming we know that. it is just a question of the timing of this. do you see political risk for president in this pardon given a racial component to the sheriff's case after charlottesville? >> i sure do. this is a guy joe arpaio over 20 years abused power, neglected to pursue hate crimes and sex crimes and u institutionalized racism for 17 months after a court order told him not to do so, found guilty of criminal neglect in july, sentence could be upwards of 6 months, this president takes a great risk in pardoning him. he has to keep his powder dry for pardon power for folks closer to him with this russia investigation playing out. connell: from what i read and heard, he likely would never get jail time. is kevin on to something, does president risk something by going ahead now. >> you heard, my friend say this is political. you heard his description in the dynamic of the accusations made against the president. and the own obama administration went after joe arpaio almost immediately. connell: after char

tammy bruce is a radio show host and joins us tonight. i'm reading these, tammy, i'm not much of a huge feminist but i bet you marie del rousseau is. here she is judge ago woman on foot wear. that sounds like the war on women to me. what do i know as a man. take it away. >> clearly a lot of sexism going on there. do you know what it's really based in? they are harpies. they are jealous and envious. melania trump is a woman who is dressed always appropriately based on the circumstance. she exited the white house in a pair of heels she felt was appropriate and yet a pair of slacks and a jacket. clearly going to an airplane which already had her change of clothes prepared for her to change in to so that she would be ready for what she needed to be wearing going into that disaster zone. but, you know, the trump haters, people who prefer to think badly of other people are going to do this. also, the first lady is very well liked. she has had tremendous impact where she goes. she makes a big difference. the president clearly also has helped a l

tammy bruce and charlie hurt. tammy, the democrats have been crowing about bannon's ouster. not only was he a racist, but as i just reported, president trump is a racist. virtually anyone who supports donald trump is a racist. i harken back to the 1950s. there was a moment when mccarthy went too far where he essentially said everybody is a communist. that's when people started to say, have you no shame? i wonder if we reached that point where nancy pelosi and the democratic national committee is saying everybody is a racist. tammy: they don't know where to stop. we saw this last year. this is not a new attack. it culminated last year with hillary saying donald trump voters are deplorable and homophobic and exenophobic -- and xenophobe i can and sexist. two days ago when the piling on began. it is bad enough to accuse the president of something that's not the case. but then they started saying these were his supporters. his poll numbers began to go up. he's up in the rasmussen poll. 24/with these attacks. but i think when people see this and hear this, americans tend to gener

tammy bruce and former d.c. party chair, scott bolton. what does this tell you? what are the political implications of this as you watch this play out? >> i'll tell you this. it does go a step further. it heightens the political ramifications because man for the now -- i'm a form prosecutor. manafort is either a target or subject of this investigation. this was a search warrant. they are look for something they don't have. that:mean either he's flying them, he's misleading him or they have information after his interview, they compared to what he told them to what they had before, it didn't match up and the next day they had the search warrant. gerri: what you say brings up a good question for her. it sounds like maybe this is good news for donald trump. if the investigation is going to focus on manafort does that mean good news for donald trump? tammy: obviously he was the campaign manager for a little bit of time. and he has a long history of being a lobbyist for foreign governments. this happened one month after he finally registered as a foreign agent. so tha

joining me now is tammy bruce and executive editor at bussell.com, julie allen. julie, locked and loaded, does that make you nervous? a lot of people on the left upset about that. >> of course it makes me nervous. this is video game rhetoric. this is not a videogame. there are millions of lives at stake. i certainly think north korea is a terrible threat and i'm terrified by them, but i don't like when the language coming from our president. >> we've had a couple decades. we still have them cheating. >> it's unbelievable. >> we've seen that that has not helped. what were hearing from the president is rhetoric that the north koreans understand, and that china understands, and the mission is to make sure they know that this is a very different time. >> he speaking their language. >> i just wanted to have you guys in the audience understand where the left is coming from. history shows we can, if we must tolerate nuclear weapons in north korea. also her friend maxine waters, no relation to jesse said this. >> i think there are some things they want from us and we hav

tammy bruce and former south carolina senator jim demint. senator, i look at this and think, this is like an amazing evolution, right? the party fighting openly with each other over some of the most of important topics on the agenda. can anything get done if the gop is shooting itself in the foot? >> the president has done what he could. he nominated good constitutional judges, he has done more enforcement on the borders and taking more regulations out of businesses and allowed them to prosper. he's been tough on foreign policy. the president was in a position to repeal obamacare in the first week because they already passed the bill before. congress is not getting their job done and they are complaining about the president who is rightly frustrated. gere require's as though the president is treating the president as the opposition party. tammy: he started embracing them. remember hot chief of staff used to be. very, very much embracing gop establishment. that did not work it was priebus and mike pence who were supposed to make the legislati

joining us now, fox news contributor tammy bruce. tammy is this the swamp really distracting -- i think it is -- is it distracting from the president's accomplishments on the economy? >> they mean to. they mean to, certainly, in the media because they want headlines other than the success we've seen economically that the president has already accomplished. they want headlines than are different about the great rally in west virginia, the west virginia governor becoming a republican. in a lot of ways, this is food for the media. it doesn't have to be a distraction for the president though, of course, and this is hope any where the new chief of staff can come in, keeping him focused. he's got so many people around him. he can get his job done while also having very good people to deal with what is, ultimately, still looks like a fishing expedition by the special counsel. stuart: but this special counsel, this impaneled grand jury -- >> right, right. stuart: -- you know, it's quite possible there's nothing there. >> federal grand juries

steve: tammy bruce is joining us right now. tammy has been watching the news and looks to history for lessons that donald trump could learn from. you're going to go back to ronald reagan. >> yeah. look, what's interesting here, of course. is while this seems really awful right now and horrible things are being said and there's terrific divisions. this, in fact, is part of a political process. we've seen it before. this generation doesn't recall the nature of what's happened in the past. president reagan again while he was running for governor of california had an opponent refer to him and compare him to john booth. and just even with the founders. there's always been horrible, terrific fights. but i think what president reagan did that could inform president trump is that when under attack. and especially when you first launched his campaign at a state fair when dealing with issues. steve: they still talk about this. >> yeah. that you've got a dynamic where the media and the president are experiencing this now. is going to find

fox news contributor and radio talk show tammy bruce. >> nice to be on the kirby couc. pete: great to have you. you read the op-ed piece. the argument is these aren't focus that we should have been focusing on, you say not only do they exist but i'm kind of one of them. >> yeah, i've been a democrat all my life. i voted for barack obama in the primary in 2008 and it was so disheartening to me to do that, i liked hillary less, but i then became an independent. and what we're looking at here -- and this is the problem for the democrats right now -- this is not really even a partisan argument. the fact is something happened, and i'll give you some numbers. near 46,000 pennsylvania republicans switched parties, they were so upset. pete: not just votes, parties. >> they became republicans. the same thing in massachusetts as an example, deep blue massachusetts, nearly 20,000 democrats at least became republicans last year alone. so you're looking at, they may not be democrats now, but they certainly used to be. and even still, this is an argument now where people who used to

what do you say to that, tammy bruce? >> this is great stuff and i think what people like al gore and others from the ivy league framework, know it alls think a man like that is just dumb, that is their mistake. they mistake the american voter is dumb. a guy who lives on the beach. he is a grabber. al gore is ready to patronize him. here is this guy who has a facility at the water, since 1970, knows the water level and it is not going down. it is not going up, it is not going down. it is not where it was. he said it is erosion, beach erosion. this is what is affecting it. this is what is valuable for americans to see. he wants a seawall because of the erosion. the problem is, because we all care about environment. we care about that island being affected. when you have nonsense like what al gore is spewing, we don't deal with maybe some real solutions we can provide and deal what this man is experiencing, what the island is experiencing when we get down to the truth of the matter that might not make al gore rich. he is no

we have tammy bruce. >> in any situation like this there will be politics surrounding an addressing how the president behaves in this kind of a situation in a position where his statements can make a huge difference how the nation looks at serious issues. at same time i think being specific about all of what is going on in this environment, the toxic political environment, identity politics which leads to this kind of madness, whether nazis, white supremacists, black supremacists all of that we're looking at even violence against law enforcement, we've been dealing with that for years, these things have to now being dealt with specifically. i think president trump is the person who can do that. i believe he sees this as a larger construct of violence and problems in the country. that his first instinct. in order to deal with this in the heart and dealing with it specifically, we've got to name it, just like look, we've been demanding we name islamist terrorists for a reason. stuart: right. >> we have to name every single part of this. i think it can only be helpful. i suspect he will do
