. >> nice to see you, martha. >> martha: u.s. ambassador to the united kingdom, what he johnson, predicting a warm welcome for president trump when he arrives in england tomorrow despite warnings from the u.s. state department urging american citizens in and around london to "keep a low profile." theories that these protests could get heated out there. the president will be hosted by prime minister may by winston churchill's ancestral home. a black-tie dinner tomorrow evening and then it is down to business on friday with the prime minister and then he will have a private meeting with queen elizabeth at windsor castle, and nobody but those flies on the wall will know what happens in there. joining me now, niall gardner, director of the margaret thatcher center of freedom. executive in residence at american university school of public affairs and the "washington examiner" contributed. welcome to both of you. great to have you here tonight. sort of two parts to this discussion. in terms of the protest, we know that that residence i

hey, martha. >> martha: hi there, mike. thank you very much. so, tonight, the president is now in scotland having schooled nato and given the brits a two-part trump lesson on brexit. the first was heavy handed and roundly criticized. the second today at checkers was the patchup effort but still left the door open for a later rebuke. >> i actually told theresa may how to do it she didn't agree -- she didn't listen to me. she wanted to different route. she probably went the opposite way. she probably went the opposite way. that's fine, you know, she should negotiate the best way she knows how. but it's too bad what's going on. >> i gave her suggestion. not advice. >> i wouldn't want to give her advice. i gave her a suggestion. i could fully understand why she thought it was a little bit tough and maybe some day she will do that if they don't make the right deal she might very well do what i suggested that she might want to do. but it is not an easy thing. >> once the brexit process is concluded, and perhaps the u.k. has left the eu, i don't know

any way you bake it. >> martha: yeah. good evening, everybody. i'm martha maccallum. this is "the story." the numbers, the facts, despite all the headwinds, there is no denying that president trump is delivering on the promises specifically he made about the economy. which as you can see is growing at the strongest pace in nearly four years. >> president trump: since i was elected we added 400,000 new manufacturing jobs and we are just getting started. >> martha: far cry from this. >> some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back. and when somebody he is going to bring all those jobs back, how exactly are you going to do that? what are you going to do? >> you might think because he has spent his life as a businessman he'd be better prepared to handle the economy. well, it turns out he's dangerous there, too. >> martha: how do those settle in today? today before the ink was dry on the numbers the "new york times" jumped out and said this -- don't expect it to last. the "washington post," "it could be a blip." it almost sounds like that is what they are

i martha maccallum in new york. the story begins with senator rand paul fresh off his meeting with the president discussing this idea. i spoke to him moments ago. >> martha: senator, good to see you. thank you for being here. tell me about your conversation with the president about this. >> until the president and private what i've been saying in public, that i think there's a great danger to having talking heads on tv who are ex-cia agents and stole a classified clearance. there's a real danger that they might inadvertently reveal classified information and john brennan has a history of this. back in 2012 we were discussing we discovered the underwear bomber. john brennan at that time briefed ex-cia agents who were retired, but still had top-secret clearance. he briefed them and said don't worry, the u.s. has someone inside, we have inside control. one of these ex-cia agents went on television and said we have a double agent and nobody needs to worry. it looks like the double agent was still there. so john brennan

and >> martha: thank you, bret. good to see it in a period of breaking this evening, bill browder, once the west's biggest investor in russia, now after fighting to escape the clutches of vladimir putin, he fears that he may become part of some kind of exchange underway for 12 russian intel agents after he heard this. >> we can actually permit representatives of the united states, including the members of this very commission headed by mr. mueller, we can let them into the country and they will be present for this questioning. then we would expect that the americans would reciprocate and we can bring up mr. browder in this particular case. >> bret: and then today, this. >> they named several americans they wanted to question they claimed were involved in bill browder's crimes in their terms. it is president trump open to that idea? >> there was some conversation about it, but there wasn't a commitment made on behalf of the united states and the president will work with his team and we will let you know if there's an

martha. >> martha: fascinating, thank you very much. to talk about this and all of it really that happened this afternoon, a head spinning day, ben shapiro, editor in chief of the daily wire. joins me with a look at all of it. good to see if any, thank you very much for being with us. i want to get to the trade issue, which i think was fascinating. a very hard pivot from the white house and a hastily convened news conference as we just said. very big news. i want to get to that in just a moment. let's start with the tape from last night. alan dershowitz, as trays just pointed out, said setting up a corporation for payment is fine, it happens all the time and he pointed out the payment was never actually made by judge napolitano said this morning that what they are discussing is a civil fraud and could be problematic for the president. how do you see it? >> the possibility of a campaign finance violation is really the serious question. did president trump hand cash to michael cohen to pay off the publishers of the "national enquirer" to

good to see you as always. >> good talking to you, martha. >> martha: you too serve. during the message president trump answer the metal in question by turning to the fbi and the dnc the general was just referring to. watch this. >> why the fbi never took the server, haven't they taken the server, why was the fbi told to leave the office of the democratic national committee? where is the server? i want to know, where is the server and what is the server saying? with that being said, all i can do is ask the question. my people came to me, dan coats came to me and some others, they said they think it's russia. i have president putin, he just said it's not russia. i will say this, i don't see any reason why it would be. >> martha: here now, california democrat eric swalwell, member of the house intelligence committee. congressman, good to have you here tonight. >> good evening, martha. he >> martha: it was an interesting turn when he was asked about that. he went to the issue of the servers, questioning the fbi investigation, and why and how they would be able to reach a

"the story" hosted by my friend martha maccallum starts right now bearing 94. >> martha: do not say no to that man. >> bret: yes is the answer. >> martha: breaking this evening, the president as you know says that mueller, comey and company are pursuing a witch hunt against them and the wife of the former governor of illinois says she agrees with that. if she claims the same team did the same thing to her husband, who as i said was then the governor of illinois who went to prison in part for saying this about his power as governor to pick a senate replacement for then senator barack obama. >> i've got this thing and it's a leap golden and i'm just not giving it up for nothing. >> martha: good evening, welcome to "the story." i martha maccallum. in her first-ever op-ed that came out today, patty writes this. little did we know how truly corrupt the obama era justice department were with predawn raids, overzealous prosecutors and a flair for big flashy press conferences, we have learned the hard way how some prosecutors have weaponized their power to criminalize the routine practices of

martha appeared >> martha: a very interesting. thank you very much. form a speechwriter for president george w. bush and american enterprise institute scholar, and frequent visitor to fox news and "the story," good to see you. this is a very interesting question. it's a small country. it is nato still performing the function it needs to perform, and is any sign that we might not be interested in including some of these balkan nations and nato something that vladimir putin might rest easier at night with? >> it certainly is. first of all, if montenegro wasn't to be invaded, we would have a bigger problem than it montenegro because it would made, to get to montenegro, you would have to go through ukraine, romania, bulgaria, serbia, macedonia, albania to get to montenegro. if there was an invasion of montenegro, we have a big problems on our hand. russian invasion of europe, which would require u.s. forces to get involved. the purpose of the nato involvement, the article five commitment to the people we do very selectively admitted into the nato alliance

martha. >> martha: they will have a lot to talk about. thank you very much. joining me now, nigel farage, former leader of the u.k. independence party and a former member of the european parliament and now a fox news contributor. good to have you with us tonigh tonight. my goodness, where is all of this had a? >> it's very simple. the british people had a referendum to decide on our future. we voted to leave the european union, to leave its court, to leave its lawmaking processes, to take back control of our borders and our money. simple as. and yet, this prime minister, theresa may, who incidentally was a remained voter in a referendum, presented a plan on friday that basically said we would still stay a part of bits of the european union, including the customs union, the lawmaking process, all of which would mean we were taking rules from elsewhere without having a say. it would prevent us, probably, from having a trade deal with america and other countries, and it was nothing less, martha, then a total betrayal of what people voted for in that referendum a

"the story" hosted by martha starts right now. >> martha: that was amazing, thank you. the heat is on as the disruptor president takes the show on the road tonight. giving our allies a heads up on the way. >> nato has not treated us fairly but i think we will work something out. we pay far too much and they pay far too too little. >> martha: i martha maccallum. tonight we tell the now unfolding story of a president who has promised to put america first and to shake up for business practices here and abroad. he's now on the ground in brussels where they have been girding for his arrival. >> america, appreciate your allies. after all, you don't have that many. >> martha: so there's that. president trump said many of these leaders letters advising them that they need to carry their financial weight and he will deliver that message personally now. he has been especially icy about his expectations for germany, a country he believes can afford to do their fair share and that they have let in the past the u.s. bear their burden. and what about prime minister may, who may not b

hi, jonathan. >> hey, martha. the fats call it an "russian influence operation" in which maria butina was given a mission of establishing unofficial lines of communication with u.s. politicians and political organizations. among those organizations, the national rifle association. butina, who is 29, was arrested sunday. she is charged with conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of the russian government. the case against her is complicated and the court documents are sometimes deliberately vague about the people or organizations with whom butina is alleged to have made contact. but investigators appear to be focusing on her contacts with the nra and the republican party. butina, by the way, studied in washington from 2015 to 2017 and in 2015 she attended a libertarian event in las vegas and asked ben-candidate trump about his view of russia. >> do you want to continue the politics of sanctions that are damaging of both economies? >> i believe i would get along very nicely with putin, okay? and i mean, wher

: thank you very much congressman radcliffe, always good to see you. >> thanks, martha. >> martha: coming up, president trump laying down the law well heading to the black-tie dinner at churchill's home. there will be no such thing as a half-hearted brexit, he was born in prime minister may. and if that goes away, he believes perhaps he would have to deal with the e.u. ben shapiro is here next and said we just watched trumpnado in action when we saw what happen in brussels. plus i'm talking specifically with tv host piers morgan and what direction he thinks his country is headed. >> so does boris johnson become the next prime minister? so we're stepping up to volunteer more and donate over a million dollars every day. so our communities can be even stronger. it's a new day at wells fargo. but it's a lot like our first day. i'm ray and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried cold turkey, i tried the patch. they didn't work for me. i didn't think anything was going to work for me until i tried chantix. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. i nee

watch martha at 7:00. president narrowed the list to three or four names. >> martha: who better to go than shannon bream outside the supreme court on a gorgeous washington day waiting for this breaking news today. >> we are. great to see both of you. it is a big day and want to talk about who may have the toughest and easiest time getting confirmed. let's start with judge kavanaugh. a d.c. insider. his detractors say he is part of the swamp because he is a d.c. guy and part of the ken starr report and was a lead investigator on the vince foster suicide and on the bench for a long time in d.c. because he knows d.c. and knows folks on the hill people think he would have the easiest time navigating. look for rand paul. watch for him on that particular gop vote. this guy won the boston marathon twice. we'll see if it's him. go to raymond kethledge. he is a guy who had a hard time getting confirmed to his current post nominated by president george w. bush in 2006 but a two-year fight. his home senators, would n

they have never been to martha's vineyard. they don't understand why it's news worthy. howie: yesterday there was another "new york times" story written by a reporter who happened to be going to martha's vineyard for vacation. he told the "times," i'm enjoying this. it's a red badge of courage. so it's alan dershowitz who stirred this up. adrienne: i am an avid reader of the "new york times." but i can't understand why alan dershowitz is helping the story day relevant, why it's being covered by the media. howie: i will bet a lot of "new york times" readers go to places like that. it's almost like apply crow could many of intolerance. it's like when people unfriend you on facebook. it says how politics has affected everybody's social lives. emily, ders with it said the bar for tolerance has been lowered. now a democrat is being isolated and pushed out. as a conservative i dislike as much as anyone, we have to be sympathetic to powerful people who are being pushed out. but there is a statement there. it's worth consideration, but maybe not on the front page of the "new yo

this is a martha's vineyard woman saying she would stab me through the heart. another professor at m.i.t. who previously said he wish there were no new york times and people only got the news that represented their own personal world views so they won't hear opposing points of view, soon there will be a pill you can swallow and you learn french overnight so you won't have to go through the process of learning french, he's leading the campaign to get other people to shun many in every way and not engage with me. they are losing. the vast majority of people even in martha's vineyard can't stand people who try to stop speech and debate. the other point, they did this to try to hurt me. but the end result is they are hurting donald trump. they are strengthening donald trump's hand. the people who try to shun me are giving donald trump and his base an argument about what the radicals are doing. i have one point to collect. i don't think what you are describing is a liberal phenomenon. it's a hard left radical phenomenon. liberals still support free speech, liberals

you, together with martha hennessysy went on the military base. describe what you did that day? took a very long walk inside the base. detached group that wanted very much to get as close as we possibly could to the heart of evil, which is to say the weapons systems themselves. therefore, we were disgruntled originally that the summary is being worked on. we would have tried to get to the trident itself. the fact was that we e went to e bunknker where the nuclelear wen controls is housed. anand we managed to cut a few fences and were perplexed by the complexities of the last fence. frightened by it. as we were contemplating getting through that last fence, they were finally, after a couple of hours on the b base, t they hada responsese from m the base itse. bananner, whwhich sasays that nucleaear weapaponse illegal and immoral. and we wanted to show to the something soothing to came, we did tell them immediately that we came in peace and we were unarmed and we met them no harm. amy: what did you have with you when you got to that area? hammers and blood. amy: what do you mean, b

i'm winning the battle the people on martha's vineyard are reasonable and decent. they have begun to condemn, a small amount of people, you have swent your life with civil libertyies, we will stop talking to you. everybody would have been happy, including me, if hillary clinton were president if she were being impeached or prosecuted or threatened. i'd be her strongest champion. i actually wrote a book defending bill clinton's right to not be impeached. today i would be the hero of martha's vineyard if i was making the same arguments, but making them for hillary clinton rather than helping donald trump by making the civil liberty arguments. it's all about small-mindedness and intolerance, and unwillingness to talk. this is what's going on on college campuses these days. conservatives are being shunned. conservatives are being denied the right to speak on campus. when you see serious people, adults wanting safe spaces, trigger warnings, not to be confronted with a view they support if it applied to a different person and hillary clinton rather than donald trump. but

when i was reissue am i think of to find how do they the it martha martha how. the harakat. was lemme. i said can i ask what some of that i was in my mind i'm going to have a goddamn lot of kids what with math just for with math but for with mental illness that they are as i could have it take action. i don't think. they know the reason but putting the show for a show by the neck to please just this caused me to listen at the end of the one so much i'd go into my cabin. with. this he. gave me. this in your money honey. this is your time i think he could make a. bad. reviews to have veto out as far as she is now and obama. was a. blue book leave you with. michelle money money from my new loans which is then conceive. of a game that. i may show going to love wolf for the. well to see if that's. also to be about it's going to little bit. if it. had been a. lewd comments. not. from a bus and have a civil cognates is always youth come on their own mother can't really look. at it. and say they were. trying. in the end. is going i think it was. the. south meaning of the sheet. a t.

this will be as we say unscripted fun, right, martha? >> oh, boy, if they thought the nato show was interesting, the united kingdom show has become quite fascinating as well. it was really clear, brian, officials in this government, i spoke with several of them yesterday, really wanted the president to come here to say he supported theresa may's version of the "brexit" agreement with the eu. he did an interview, you guys all have seen and heard playing on the show this morning flew in the face of that. diplomacy in the word of morning. president arrived, spoke with theresa may, we get along great. i think their goal now is to have good discussions, wrap up the trip later with an agreement that will allow them to say they're on the same page. they have aways to go to get there though. ainsley: judge, what are your thoughts about this? the president is just being honest. i don't like how she is exiting softly from "brexit." he is being transparent. that is what he does. doesn't mean he doesn't like her as a person. >> i don't think it matt

this is a martha's vineyard woman saying she would stab me through the heart. another vineyarder, a professor nigraponte said he wished there was no "new york times" and he wished people would only hear what they wanted him to. he's leading the campaign to get other people to shun me, and not to engage with me. now they are losing. the vast majority of people even martha's vineyard, can't stand people that will try to stop speech and debate, so it's backfiring. the other point that's important, they tried to hurt me, but the end result, they are helping donald trump. they are strengthening donald trump's hand. people that shun me give the base an argument about what the radicals are doing. i don't think what you are describing is a liberal phenomenon. it's a hard left radical phenomenon. liberals still support free speech. liberals support due process but the party has been taken over by those with no interest in due process. they only want their truth to prevail. they don't want dissent. it's happening on university campuses. when you have people like this giv

. >> this is martha stewart. who did martha stewart? jim comey. >> sean: scary. it's scary. if you can get them on the crime, they will get them on something else. >> it doesn't matter how serious the crime is. >> sean: let's go to mueller -- >> let's get a celebrity tweet. >> sean: what about that she worked there. >> i have no objections to them. >> sean: why are they bringing in the cfo of the trump organization? >> a thousand reasons. i have been through, and our lawyers have been through, including our washington or new york lawyers, we have been through every one of the documents they have given us, every document relating to president trump. he is whistle clean and that investigation. that is why we quickly weaved the privilege. the minute comey leaked that first conversation between cohen and the president where he secretly recorded the president and lied to him and pretty much threw himself out of the bar, i mean, the legall bar, we put it out. then he said -- putting out stuff about the cuomo tape, where he went through this horrible stuff, hiding his tape recorder

>> martha was wonderful. martha was the introducer of the e.r.a. i still think about it. martha quit because her husband was so ill. had she stayed, she would have been chairman of the ways and means committee rather than dan rostenkowski, aye-yi-yi. sad. and shirley left early, too, because her husband had been injured in an automobile accident. so and then barbara jordan left early, too, because i mean she had a very tough time she came from a very big state and as she said, when the texas delegation gets together, nobody has a clue if the other guys show up or not. it's juchst a bunch of guys. but if i don't come, it's like, where was she? and on every woman in the state of texas adopted her as their special representative. and you don't get extra staff or anything. so she was just slammed with work. with people expecting her to come everywhere in texas and do absolutely everything and answer every letter. i think they just wore her out. andrea von burke, i think, too, she has a young child and -- she had a young child while she was there, we had a lot of fun having al
