joining us now from austin, texas is karl rove. what was irs doing to g.p.s. exactly? >> not only did g.p.s. but also the u.s. chamber of commerce. what they were attempting to do was attempting to look at the individual donors to this 50 1 c 4 g.p.s. and the 501 c 6, the u.s. chamber and then subject those donors to a 35% tax on any gift that they gave to these two organizations. now, the problem was that in 1982, the united states supreme court disallowed this specific procedure that the irs was contemplating applying to the donors of our group and donors to the chamber. >> was that what president obama was referring to that congress passed a sloppy law? is that what he was referring to? >> the law governing 501 c 4s and 501 c 6s has been around for half a century. if he was referring to this particular incident, then he was condemning the congress of the united states, you know, half a century ago. no, no. the president of the united states was bloviating. let's be honest about it he didn't know what the heck he was talking about. when the scandal first broke irs sh

karl rove joins us. niles to see you karl. >> great to see you greta. >> karl, before i get to the polls, i want to ask you a question. what's been the political story of the week that has grabbed your attention the most? >> well, the hearings on capitol hill about the iranian nuclear deal. they have the biggest consequences for our country and it's been interesting to see some skeptical questions raised by democrats and to watch kerry trying to defend what looks like a very bad deal. >> all right. now to the polls. three swing states. colorado iowa, and virginia. and secretary of state hillary clinton loses in all three swing states to bush, walker and rubio. translate these for me. well, first of all she is in very bad shape in those states. if you take a look at her favorable and unfarvelings. remember, she is better known than anybody else in the field. people have strong opinions about her. they are going to be hard to change. in colorado, 35% favorable. 56 unfavorable. iowa 33-you 56. >> west virgi

joining us now from austin texas is karl rove. what was irs doing to g.p.s. exactly? >> not only did g.p.s. but also the u.s. chamber of commerce. what they were attempting to do was attempting to look at the individual donors to this 50 1 c 4 g.p.s. and the 501 c 6 the u.s. chamber and then subject those donors to a 35% tax on any gift that they gave to these two organizations. now, the problem was that in 1982 the united states supreme court disallowed this specific procedure that the irs was contemplating applying to the donors of our group and donors to the chamber. >> was that what president obama was referring to that congress passed a sloppy law? is that what he was referring to? >> the law governing 501 c 4s and 501 c 6s has been around for half a century. if he was referring to this particular incident, then he was condemning the congress of the united states, you know, half a century ago. no, no. the president of the united states was bloviating. let's be honest about it he didn't know what the heck he was talking about. when the scandal first broke he said

>> joining us now from austin texas, karl rove. that's exactly what has happened is that the anti- -- the pro-open border people have demanded that each republican candidate respond to donald trump and what they feel. so jeb bush has condemned mr. trump. rick perry has criticized him. ted cruz has supported him somewhat. this is working to the democrats' favor is it not. >> yeah. i would view it as slightly differently. the media and democrats will force republicans to answer for what donald trump says. we saw this happen before. remember when todd aiken said the ugly things he said about abortion in 2012? they asked every republican starting with mitt romney as to whether or not they agreed. and we were doing focus groups three days after that todd aiken interview in 2012 in denver, colorado, you could not convince independent women who were undecided about the presidential race that mitt romney had a different view than -- of abortion than did todd aiken. there is a real danger here, yeah look, first thing is every republican had

karl rove will be here to break down those numbers. bill: an american dentist goes into hiding after hunting and killing a famous lion in africa. could he now face criminal charges? martha: louisiana governor bobby jindal said some of his opponents in the gop presidential race will say some pretty outlandish things to get attention. he is up next. >> 19 or 16. >> and i'm glad you're not running. you would be in first place. >> well. see me and trump going at it? >> you could sell tickets to that. martha: a look at the u.s. economy which is looking up a little bit after a pretty rough winter. the gdp jumping more than half a percent to 2.3%. economists say consumers are spending a little bit more and more products are being traded abroad. the commerce department revised numbers for past three years. they say the economy grew at only 2% from 2012 through 2014. folks, that is a very sluggish growth rate for the economy. bill: it will come up a week from today at our debate in cleveland, ohio. republican candidates working to separate them

karl rove and joe trippi are here. both are fox news contributors. what do you think about this joe? politics or is it fair? >> it is not fair. whether it is politics or not, that is certainly what it is going to look like. look new jersey wants to do this that is fine but they should not change the rules in the middle of an election. this law wasn't in place when he decided to run and they should not change the rules in the middle of it. if this was about future governors, whether i like the law or not, i think it is not political. but this clearly is aimed i think at politics. the fact is christie is probably going to veto it if it passes. it is more about embarrass him than actually challenging and changing the law for good reason. >> the claim is we are talking about new jersey, the sitting governor of new jersey requires security when travelling and the taxpayers of new jersey pay for that. if he's traveling on a presidential campaign they say that is not fair. >> i have to admit there is a thorny question and the laws provide the governor of ea

no, chamber of commerce, karl rove across road gps, targeted, big organizations, and were in cross hairs, karl rove e-mail that substantiates the claim, and e-mail about people who were directly audited, targeted by irs for what their political. charles: they get this list, do they deny them? the abillty to be tax e. , you give me money to them, someone paying a give tax. >> two things, first. irs was slowing down denying, holding up the applications, and according to documents, this is new, this is coming out of washington, not out of cincinnati, this is out of washington, we have high refile, high ranking irs officials, including attorneys. charles: we're connecting the dots from cincinnati perhaps something on behalf of white house without directed. to actually now able to say, this imnat emanated because thee ordered to do this? >> we don't know by whom, you can connection the dots so far. i want to read you from lear loe gardner. u.s. chamber of commerce, a 501c 6 organization may find itself under high scrutiny by irs, then e-mail said this, one can only hope. if you are looking fo

and why karl rove calls the two candidates, the disrupter brothers. and governor scott walker and john kasich expected to make an announcement soon. would you vote for either man. go to fox news.com/"happening now" to join the conversation. when i started at the shelter, i noticed benny right away. i just had to adopt him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up we both felt it i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said "try aleve". just two pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong and try aleve pm now with an easy open cap. >> democrat bernie sanders and republican donald trump have one thing in common. both candidates are getting support from the popullist wing of their party and making life difficult for the takened rivalling. and the chairman asked trump in a phone call to tone down his controversial comments and the rnc putting out they had a respectful conversation. and donald trump denies this and totally false reporting on my call wit

joining us from austin, karl rove. on oously the immigration thing is driving trump's numbers and you say? >> well, i think it's more than immigration. there is a certain brashness to him too that's attractive. is he sort of making the argument that he is the guy who can fix everything. if you take a look at the real clear politics average he has gone from 6. a to 9.3 as a result of this latest poll. my sense is that the next time we get another national poll it's going to be a good number for trump and that trump may cross scott walker unless scott walker gets a bump out of today's activities which i'm not sure he will. there was however, a lot of bad news in that poll that you mentioned bill. trump's favorable and unfavorables in the poll which has him nearly tied for first 40% favorable 41% unfavorable. he is ranked in the 17 candidates in the poll. he is ninth in favorables and he is number two in the unfavorables, that is to say that he looks like he may be capping out. he has a high floor but low ceiling. in fact

it wasn't a black family, it was america's family. >> it's -- karl rove is right. bill cosby did change the mindset. he started to help change the mindset in this country. you know, as someone who grew up on cosby. and i remember when the cartoon "little bill" came out. i had my kids watch it. bill cosby changed the dynamic and the look of the american african-american family. many years ago we watched black expletive shows. shows where the african-american family was depicted on welfare in a junk yard or different places. and there are so many different components to the black family. when bill cosby came, not only that, but bill cosby promoted education. particularly hbcu's, historically black colleges and universities. i'm a proud graduate of one of those universities. and on "the cosby show" he would wear different hbcu pa paraphernalia. bill cosby did change the look to of the african-american family. he helped change the dynamic, the visual of it. and people started embracing him a bit more. >> but the context now, unfortunately, from what we have learned has

rove at his side. he's been able to separate himself from the politics, become the other of this race which is very coveted spot. >> i don't think this is the end. but i think may be a little bit perm thinking might be the beginning of the end. but i think what this trump episode, i hope it's just episode tells us about two things. one, tells us something about the state of the republican party. and degree of anger and animosity and unrest, segment of the party feels. that is bad news i think for some of the more mainstream candidates. also is another one of these things in front of the more, let's call them credible candidates. how they respond to trump, not just this one which was really a no brainer in how to respond to his outrageous comments about john mccain. but in terms of the lag that they have had in responding to previous comments about mexican rapist,s where president obama was born. yesterday we didn't pay attention, what he said about mccain he was so outrageous he was asked whether he th

john: karl rove wrote a column stating there is a top tier of four candidates, including cruz walker, rubio, and bush. talk about whether you think those four will remain in the top tier all the way through the end of the year, and who has the best chance to break into that? dan senor: those four candidates will all be really competitive on the fund-raising front. john: i'm talking about fund-raising exclusively. dan senor: what each of them has -- while jeb has raised i.e. money, and all the others have done a fraction of that, what they all have is major donors to their super pac's that could triple or quadruple their donations if they feel the ir candidate is in the game. those guys are going to have the capacity to compete on the fund-raising side. the question to me is whether kristi and kasich -- christie and kasich will do the same. christie has recruited important donors, kasich is still early -- i don't know yet if they are going to be able to assemble a team of super pacs like others have, but those are most likely to break in. this is helpful breaking this up your -- having

and karl rove join us. nice to see you, karl. >> great to see you, greta. >> ranldd paul says he attributes the rise in polls for donald trump to a momentary loss of sanity. what's your thought? >> well that's a little extreme. donald trump has been here before. in april of 2011 he was tied in the cnn poll with mike huckabee. each one of them had 19%. that's how different the contest is. two guys had a total of 40%, nearly 40% of the vote in 2011 in april. he was at 16% in the gallup poll tied for first. and whether or not he keeps this is going to depend on the quality of the campaign. that's why we have an election. and people come and go. everybody has had their moment thus far. whether or not he's going to be able to hold onto it i think will be determined to a substantial extent next week in the television debate and then in a subsequent activities beyond that. he better be spending less time in scotland and more times in iowa new hampshire, south carolina and nevada. zbr i will say this about his time

joining us now karl rove who served as senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to george w. bush. we may have to interrupt our conversation if the president does come to the podium. i'm struck by the timing on this. it's the first time in 50 years we are reestablish i shaling ties with cuba. what do you make of the timing? >> i think the timing has less to do with the 4th of july and more to do with the president wanting to keep the sense that he has foreign momentum. we've should not be reestablishing forward movement with this totalitarian government. we are giving a blessing to a regime that has dozens of political prisoners it represses individuals and groups who credit size the government -- who criticize the government and many of them are in jail before. there were 900 temporary detentions of people for no other reason than they criticized the government. people cannot travel within the country of cuba if they criticize the government. families are separated from each other and not allowed to have contact in response to somebody criticizing the government. and there is seve

. >> for more on the future of the nuclear deal with iran we'll bring in karl rove. and joe trippi is with us. former howard dean campaign manager and they are fox news contributors. joe, this morning, the president felt like it was a legacy achievement and will it go down that way? >> history will decide that. it is a very big deal. ten years in the making and two administrations of sanctions and trying to get iran to this point. and look it is so in the verification. and now in the dismantling of the centrifuges. it will be constantly staying on the iranians and i think the president understands that. >> carl,the political leaders are weighing in and what do the american people think? >> does this match the redlines that the president laid down. it doesn't. we need to have any time anywhere inspections. and now the petition and delay of 24 days and snap back of the violations and the we asked for the accounting of past behavior. that's gone. we'll dismantled the icbm program and not the sanctions for the illicit trade weapons to be removed. and in regard to the inf

karl rove thinks the surge will be short-lived but is he right? >> chilling new surveillance video and 911 calls recall the fear from the night john russell hooper open fire in a crowded movie theater. here they are. >> 911. shooting at -- >> ma'am, do you have a description of person with the gun? >> he was wearing a white shirt i don't know, older man. get fast-acting, long-lasting relief from heartburn with it neutralizes stomach acid and is the only product that forms a protective barrier that helps keep stomach acid in the stomach where it belongs. for fast-acting, long-lasting relief. try gaviscon®. leland: fox news alert from washington. capitol hill police are now investigating a car that struck a concrete barrier about a block from the capitol building. you see a live look there at the capitol. we don't have yet a live shot of the scene. police have the driver in custody and the streets around the capitol have been temporarily closed. important to note that the car did not break through the secure perimeter they have set up on the street

last year, republican operative karl rove raised questions at a private event about clinton's health and bill clinton hit back. >> first they said she faked her concussion. and now they say she's auditioning for a part on "the walking dead." as far as i can tell, she's in better shape than i am. >> reporter: clinton's doctor seems to back that up. noting a complete resolution of the effects of the concussion and a total dissolution of the thrombosis, or blood clot. perhaps no coincidence, all this information comes on the same day the state department released more than 1,300 e-mails from clinton's time as secretary. hillary clinton spent the day on the campaign trail going after jeb bush in his home state of florida. not by name but with a reference to bush's right to rise slogan. >> i don't think you can credibly say that everyone has a right to right and then say you're for phasing out medicare or for repealing obamacare. people can't rise if they can't afford health care. and you cannot seriously talk about the right to rise and support laws that deny the right to vote. >> report

. >> and karl rove's crossroads gps the issue -- david: this could be interpreted as kind of and intimidation of people that disagree with the president's views on things? >> it could be indeed interpreted that way, david. you got that exactly right. what we're talking about here, they would look at the organizations to see if they reported their donations to conservative groups as being subject to gift tax. that is not the way it has been interpreted by the supreme court. so, we'll have more details as the evening wears on. i'm just getting these details now. but surprising new news. of course it comes on the heels of the president's own defense of what his administration has done when it comes to the irs. just last night, and i think we've got this set, he criticized some of the comments, criticisms of the irs. here is what he had to say in defense. >> we've got this back office and they're going after the tea party. well it turned out, no, congress had passed a, crummy law that didn't give people guidance in terms of what they were trying to do. they did it poorly and stupidly. >> got to t

rove dirty trick. cousin theodore had been exonerated in the teapot dome scandal and so he really was clean and he was a remarkable probably one of the most underappreciated people i think of our political history. a really remarkable man who deserves a lot credit and who knows what he might have done in his political career but eleanor slapped a lot of oil on him and he was done in never ran a competitive race after that. >> i have read, although i can't cite the place now that franklin became a democrat as a way of distinguishing himself from the teddy roosevelt family and the oyster bay roosevelts rather than because of a political philosophy or anything of that sort and felt it would be a way that he could better achieve his political objectives although as you pointed out he also very much wanted to follow in theodore's footsteps becoming assistant secretary of the navy and running successfully for vice president have been worse governor of new york which that he had done. number one, i'm wonderin
