Or the anthem with his team during Monday Night Football
Yeah
The whole team a different scene that playing out across the very same field you can see there the Arizona Cardinals
What they did was lock arms with members of the military yes?
Grif Jenkins live in our nation's capitol with the growing backlash against the NFL, and how that's doing Grif
Hey, Robyn, Heather. Yeah last night's game
It was quite an unbelievable spectacle
And it suggests certainly that this rift between
The president and the kneelers is far from over
now cowboys owner Jerry Jones locked arms with players and
Took a knee before the national anthem then stood with him as the national anthem was performed now fans booed
But Jones who said players should honor the flag called their move a unity statement Cardinals players as you mentioned across the field
Locking arms with members of the military and president Trump doubling down on criticism of the anthem protests tweeting quote
Tremendous backlash against the NFL and its players for disrespect of our country
Hashtag stand for our anthem this as Steelers offensive tackle in former
Army Ranger
Alejandro Villanueva who stood alone hand of her heart on Sunday as his team remained in the locker room waited on it saying this
In this controversy spreading to the NBA on media day Gregg Popovich coach of the San Antonio Spurs slamming president Trump
Our country is an embarrassment in the world. They got a choice. We can continue to bounce our heads off the wall with his conduct
or
We can decide that the institutions of our country are more important
That people are more important
that the decent America that we all thought we had and want is more important and
Get down to business at the grassroots level and do we have to do
The White House says this is not about race are against anyone, but rather about promoting and respecting the American flag
We're certainly gonna hear more about this in a quick note Robin Heather
Villanueva's Jersey the top seller on fanatics calm mr.. Day
Says a lot so far yeah that works unfortunate
He felt like he had to come out and make that statement though yesterday after what it was had to backtrack yeah
That's always kind of says. There's a lot all right Grif. Thanks. Thank you well former Navy Seal meantime Carl Higby
He says that NFL players are setting a bad example
He is praising the president for valuing patriotism over political correctness
This is not acceptable behavior because people look up to the NFL and you can group together and show unity all you want
But just because there is unity on this topic doesn't make it right this was started by Colin, Kaepernick
He was the architect of this on racial inequality
And that was under a two-term black president with a you know white adopted parents
under two black attorney generals with this NFL force that is 70% black making 30 times what their average white constituent viewer makes
Where's the inequality? I mean, what is the desired end result of this and if it's to devise a divisive argument
This is not this is not something that's gonna bring the country together
Never bet against patriotism President Trump is on the right side of this one. He's gonna come out on top as he usually does
Just a few hours construction will begin on prototypes for president Trump's
long-promised border wall six companies will build a total of eight models
And those will be built just south of San Diego half will be made of concrete the rest will be made of other materials
That's all we know Congress is currently working to pass nearly two billion dollars to begin funding the wall
It appears New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is having a bit of an identity crisis while discussing the need for aid in Puerto Rico
The Democrat and likely presidential candidate in 2020 claimed to be an immigrant
We believe in immigration in New York. We are a state of immigrants. I am an immigrant. I'm wholly against this
anti-immigrant fever that has been stoked during the political campaign
So you see it there I am an immigrant one problem
Cuomo was born in New York City earlier this year Cuomo dared President Trump to deport him over his objection to the White House's
Immigration policy you can't deport somebody that was born in New York check that out there well messages have help written on the rooftop
In Puerto Rico take a look residents there struggling to recover less than a week after Hurricane Maria ripped through that island
Many dealing with power outages limited food limited water Puerto Rico's governor calling on Congress for help
Warning that the u.s.. Territory is on the brink of a quote
Humanitarian crisis several Republican lawmakers are expected to tour the devastation this weekend. It's really horrible
You are out in the Florida Keys
They're beginning to welcome some visitors back this happened on Sunday nearly three weeks ahead of schedule actually
Officials say that the city's economy is heavily dependent on tourism
And this is a vital step to a full recovery over the weekend
we're talking about the first cruise ship since Hurricane Emma returned to the port of Key West bringing over 800 passengers and
600 crew members to that area so they're open for business it's a nice infusion of some much-needed cash the keys yep
Alright, let's go now to Janet's to talk about a little bit of weather, and we still have this hurricane well
It's not a hurricane anymore
Right off Maria just yet, but it is weakening it's on a weakening trend and here's the good news
We are not going to be dealing with it very much longer. We do have the potential for some rip currents high surf beach erosion
especially off of the Outer Banks, but as you can see the worst of the rain and the wind and the storm surge
It's going to remain offshore
We still have some evacuations across the vulnerable areas of the Outer Banks, but otherwise we're gonna watch this storm
Curve out to sea by by Maria by Thursday, we won't be really even talking about it a little bit of a break
But we still have to watch there is the potential for more activity into October
Rob and Heather back to you all right
Okay, Dennis. Thanks so much. Thank you 36 minutes after the hour President Trump putting North Korea on notice and
His on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime
The United States is ready
willing and able
Now leaders of the rogue regimes say the president's words are a declaration of war
Why our next guest says the Pentagon?
Not back off and senior Jordin Sparks taking on the now controversial role of singing the national anthem for Monday Night Football
Her statement inspired by the Bible that you may have missed
Calling president Trump's latest threats a declaration of war
For the white house quickly dismissing that claim
We've not declared war on North Korea and frankly the suggestion of that is absurd
So what does the White House need to do next to tamp down these latest provocations here now to weigh in is
Hudson Institute Fellow and a member of the team that
Actually helped launch a bipartisan missile defense caucus in the house Rebecca Heinrichs. Thank you so much for joining us Rebecca
Good morning
So let's take a look at this tweet in question from President Trump right off the start get you to respond to this he said
Just heard foreign minister of North Korea speak at UN if he echoes thoughts of little Rocketman
They won't be around much longer now they consider that to be a declaration of war. They said as a result
They can shoot down US missiles. They don't even have to be in their airspace
What do you think well first of all you know North Korea the North Koreans make threats all the time?
I mean they said that the the seth rogen intercept movie was an act of war so you know
They say things that are active wars all the time so on the one hand you know you don't want to take it, too
Seriously on the other hand we are talking about a nuclear state at this point so
You know and remember North Korea just launched a missile that flew into Japanese airspace
If that's not an active, or you know it's amazing
They would think that flying b-1 bombers in international airspace over international waters would be of course it is not
So the White House is right to push back forcefully. This is not an active war they're allowed to fly these warplanes in
Over international waters if the North Koreans were so foolish as to try to shoot one of these down
which we don't I don't know if they have the the the aunt the the
Capabilities to even do that and because it's unclear what capabilities they do have but if they were to try it would be a serious
Miscalculation because the United States would obviously respond very forcefully what's scary about this whole thing though
is that while we spend all this time talking trash between the presidents Twitter and and
Whatever North Korea is saying that day or that week
You know their their military is I assume
Gaining strength and they're learning they're figuring this out
I mean they I think the next thing you need to figure out is the reentry on the ballistic nuclear weapons
And then they can actually do something whereas
You know I mean. We've gone through eight years of being super passive with Kim jong-un letting him
Just kind of say whatever he wants and Obama
We're not saying anything really in return and now this these these words
Continue with no action and at some point they're gonna figure this out, and that's what's scary
That's exactly right what the North Koreans have done if they've increased the tempo of their ballistic missile tests
And even whenever they blow up on the launch pad they learn from the failures
They apply what they learned to get the capability. I recently interviewed a
General heightened who's the commander Strategic Command?
Four-star general M. And we talked about this a little bit. He said the only thing that we haven't seen them
Do is actually you know do the full end-to-end test of the missile with the nuclear capability?
and we've seen them do everything else so we need to presume that they could have the capability if they wanted to do it we
Have to take that part of it seriously, but again the trouble ministration
It is
Enforcing this this pressure campaign against the North Koreans the Chinese are now on board with a lot of what the United States is doing
So we are making progress we have to stay the course
Make sure that our allies the South Koreans the Japanese know that we have their back
And continue to squeeze so that we can solve this problem diplomatically without using force now
What's interesting is that with these bombers they flew not only the farthest place north and the Demilitarized Zone
Then evers happened in this century. They also flew without
China where I'm sorry without South Korea or the Chapa knees planes escorting them
So you know we'll see what happens next is definitely is escalating. They got to figure this out
Yeah, that's it's it's given to be a little ridiculous Rebecca. Thank you so much. Thank you
Thank you, so let's bring in Todd pyro right now
He is back here at home in Huntsville, Alabama with a preview of the closely watched primary runoff Todd
Tell us a little bit about this race why it's so critical and what you're hearing down there
Good morning, Robin Heather from Sweet Home, Alabama. You know they say politics make strange bedfellows no pun intended and this
Situation is certainly
That we have Luther strange who is being endorsed by President Trump and Mitch McConnell
interesting bedfellows there then we have
Roy Moore who's being endorsed by the likes of Sarah Palin Steve Bannon Nigel Farage?
So it's a really interesting dynamic here polls have favored more throughout this campaign
But right now. It does appear that that gap is closing where we are right here in Huntsville, Alabama
Really is more country the whole state is really Trump country, but right here is really more country
He was endorsed by mo Brooks remember mo Brooks the congressman from this area was in the race if you recall well
He gave his endorsement to Moore once
He was kicked out of the race and wouldn't you know it where does Donald Trump hold his rally for Luther strange last week
Right here in Huntsville, Alabama, so obviously we are in store for a huge day here in Sweet Home, Alabama
It's gonna be interesting to see who comes out on top really matter who you have backing you. That's a big name, though
What matters are the people that are there actually doing the voting into any feeling of which way they're leaning?
